Spitting off the Edge of the World by Courtney W. Dixon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Julien, numb despite his privileged life, hires Romeo for two weeks hoping to feel something again. Romeo, a sex worker with strict emotional boundaries and a painful past, plans to keep things detached — until Julien’s kindness begins breaking through his walls. What starts as an arrangement slowly becomes a connection neither expected.

Both Julien and Romeo come from horrendous lives, so it’s easy to understand why they gravitate toward each other the way they do. Julien gives Romeo a kind of “Pretty Woman” experience at first, but what really stood out to me was how they eventually settle into a quieter, more genuine partnership that feels right for both of them. The story is packed with big emotions — heartbreak, hope, and moments of real joy — creating a journey that’s dramatic, tender, and surprisingly moving. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: House of Cards by Courtney W. Dixon 5 of 5 stars

House of Cards by Courtney W. Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Calvin Abernathy is perfectly content with his no‑strings, no‑kids lifestyle — until a tragic accident leaves him the guardian of his friends’ grieving fourteen‑year‑old son. Completely out of his depth, he turns to his hot, infuriating neighbor Seth for help. Seth has always thought Calvin was a jerk, even if an annoyingly attractive one, but he agrees to step in for the boy’s sake. As the two men grow closer, their friendship starts to blur into something deeper, complicating Seth’s new relationship and forcing him to confront what — and who — he really wants. When red flags appear with Seth’s boyfriend, the choice becomes clear: it’s Calvin he trusts, and Calvin he’s falling for.

This story had such a strong, undeniable pull between Calvin and Seth — the kind of connection that only grows deeper as their lives and families slowly merge. Watching them navigate everything from Seth’s increasingly troubling boyfriend situation to Calvin suddenly becoming guardian to Braeden added so many rich layers to their relationship. The emotional stakes were high, and every feeling was beautifully described and easy to connect with. I loved how their bond shifted from irritation to friendship to something much more meaningful, all while juggling kids, grief, healing, and the messy realities of starting over. Braeden’s storyline in particular brought so much heart, grounding Calvin in ways he never expected. A heartfelt, emotional read, and I can’t wait to see where this series goes next. This was an MM story with mature content.

Edged by Courtney W. Dixon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Atlas applies for a PA job hoping for stability, never expecting the two VPs interviewing him to be the same men he shared an unforgettable, intimate night with. They made him feel wanted for the first time — and now they want him back in their lives, not just as an employee but as their “princess.” Hugh is already in trouble at work thanks to his unconventional desires, and hiring Atlas is the last thing he should do. But after their night together, he’s never been able to forget him, and seeing Atlas again makes resisting impossible. Linden has always followed Hugh’s lead, quietly nursing a crush he’s never acted on. When Atlas reappears, instead of jealousy, he feels drawn to him too. Together, the three of them discover that what they want isn’t competition — it’s a shared connection they all felt from the start.

I loved that this story beautifully captured a triad that feels not only believable but deeply right. Atlas, Hugh, and Linden each bring something essential to the relationship — Atlas’s vulnerability, Hugh’s commanding confidence, and Linden’s quiet devotion — and together they form a bond that feels perfectly balanced and emotionally rich. What makes their connection especially compelling is how seamlessly their love blends emotional intimacy with shared physical intimacy. The sexual side of their relationship isn’t just spice; it’s a meaningful expression of trust, desire, and the way they fit together as a unit. Their shared encounters strengthen their bond and highlight just how naturally the three of them connect. A tender, passionate, and affirming romance about three men who are absolutely perfect for one another in every way that matters. This was an MMM story with mature content.

Review: The Silent Night Stalker by Courtney W. Dixon 4 of 5 stars

The Silent Night Stalker by Courtney W. Dixon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Enzo discovers that the notorious “Silent‑Night Stalker,” a killer who strikes every Christmas Eve, has chosen him as the next target. Still mourning his best friend, Enzo is attacked in his own home — but the encounter takes an unexpected turn. Instead of a cold, calculating predator, the Stalker turns out to be a man called Constantine who is unstable, frightened, and strangely submissive. As Enzo confronts him, he realizes the man is far from the ruthless figure the police imagine. Their clash becomes a disturbing psychological entanglement, forcing Enzo to question how someone so timid became a killer — and what it means about himself that he instinctively knows how to take control of him.

I enjoyed this dark romance with the two men who understood each other as they were both different sides of criminality. I loved that Enzo expected Con to be a ruthless killer — instead he found someone frightened, unstable, and craving direction. The story examined the unsettling human instinct to empathise with someone who has done terrible things. I also liked that the story showed that even in dark circumstances, humans seek connection — sometimes in twisted or unexpected ways. I don't think that everyone will enjoy this story even if they like dark romance but everything does come good at the end. This was an MM story with mature content.

Cueball & Double-Z by Courtney W. Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gio (Zero) feels trapped in a cycle of failure and emotional suppression, having loved Cole silently for years. His self-worth erodes until Cueball offers refuge, sparking a rediscovery of joy and a surprising new love—for both Cole and Cueball. Cole (Zilch), burdened by past mistakes, finds renewed purpose in nurturing Gio and Cueball. Though still broken, he embraces his role as a source of love and healing, seeing this as his own path to recovery. Marco (Cueball), once emotionally guarded, is undone by Gio and Cole’s chaotic presence. Their vulnerability forces him to confront his own buried pain. Despite fear, he begins to crave connection again—perhaps even love. Together, these three form a fragile but transformative triad, each learning that healing often comes through loving—and being loved—by those who see your worst and stay anyway.

I loved this story with three broken men who found each other by chance and found love and support together. I adored Cole who was so intuitive and loving that I just wanted to hug him. Gio had done his best to be strong but needed someone to care for and love him. . Marco was a tormented soul but I do believe that it wasn't his fault and so I wholeheartedly agree with Alpha's opinion. This has been a very enjoyable series and it was always well researched and written by the author. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MMM story with mature content.

Review: Stix & Stone by Courtney W. Dixon 4 of 5 stars

 

Stix & Stone by Courtney W. Dixon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Damien “Stone” Sloan can’t stand Nico “Stix” Jamieson—his relentless cheerfulness, his teasing, and the constant drumming that grates on his nerves. Yet, despite his irritation, he can’t seem to stop obsessing over him. Nico, on the other hand, is both intrigued and intimidated by Stone, unsure why he’s hated but unable to resist pushing his buttons. Beneath Stone’s hardened exterior, Nico senses something deeper—pain, fear, and vulnerability—and he’s determined to uncover the real Damien, no matter how much resistance he faces.

I loved this story with the two men who started off with Stone being irritated by Stix but eventually they became so much more to each other.

Alien Jadzion is one half of an intergalactic assassin team and is currently in New Mexico on Earth searching for his assigned target while his brother Heriot is in California looking for his. Their targets are gun-runner on a galactic scale and Jadzion has a problem - he waited until the last minute to go planetside and his target is now at a couples retreat - as a single male, he cannot enter to search for him. The solution seems obvious to him - he needs a wife just for the weekend to capture his mark. Using a thing known as a "dating app" he finds a woman called Jenna but when he tells her that he needs to marry her right away she is understandably confused. But the longer she is around Jadzion the more she thinks he is not from around here and that he might just be the one for her.

I quite enjoyed this novella which was quite amusing considering the type of couples retreat they were at and the way that Jadzion reacted. I thought that the way he managed to do the cleanup efficiently while ensuring that Jenna was safe and well showed that he was not as bad at his job as could have been believed. Easy to understand and read. Contains explicit sexual content in places especially at the end.
