Cherish by Garrett Leigh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Harry and Joe return in a tender Skins‑universe novella filled with found family, rescue horses, and deep, steady love. After a decade together, Joe still loves Harry with his whole heart, but life is shifting around them. Somewhere along the way, they realise they want more — something bigger, scarier, and full of possibility. Even though they’re already happy, the idea of expanding their family forces them to question whether they’re ready, whether they’re enough, and whether there’s room in their hearts for someone new. Joe worries they have no roadmap for fatherhood, but he knows one thing with absolute certainty: with Harry beside him, he can face anything.

I loved this novella that was a beautiful return to Harry and Joe’s world, reminding you exactly why they’re such beloved characters. Their bond is as deep and steady as ever — the kind of love where they’d do absolutely anything for each other, even when it means sitting down and having the hard conversations. That willingness to talk, to question, and to grow together gives their relationship so much heart. As life throws new possibilities and unexpected challenges their way, events gently but powerfully show them just how much they truly mean to one another. Their love doesn’t just hold; it expands, strengthens, and proves itself all over again. This was a tender, emotional story about partnership, courage, and the quiet certainty that comes from choosing each other every single day. This was an MM story with mature content.

The Sex Coach by Garrett Leigh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Toby, a shy twenty‑four‑year‑old stable hand and virgin, is instantly drawn to Cole, a single dad starting over on the farm. What begins as friendship quickly heats up as they teach each other confidence, desire, and self‑worth. One night changes everything, and both men realise they have just as much to learn from each other as they have to give.

I loved this warm, tender romance built on instant fascination that slowly deepens into something real and lasting. Toby and Cole can’t stop watching each other from the moment they meet — the shy stable hand and the single dad who’s trying to rebuild his life. That spark quickly turns physical, but what makes their story so special is how naturally desire grows into love. Their connection feels genuine and sweet, especially as Toby falls just as hard for Cole’s daughter as he does for Cole himself. The way he steps into their little world with such care adds a beautiful layer of heart to the story. A gentle, sexy, and heartfelt read about first times, unexpected chemistry, and a love that expands to include family. This was an MM story with mature content.

Crossroads by Garrett Leigh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Angelo and Dylan are deeply in love but worn down by distance — Dylan working in London, Angelo recovering in Cornwall. Their brief visits aren’t enough, and Dylan is reaching his limit. When he returns to Cornwall for Christmas, both men realise they can’t keep living apart. Surrounded by the warmth of Whisper Farm, they must decide whether love is enough to finally bring them home to each other.

I really enjoyed this tender, hopeful novella about love, community, and choosing the life that truly fits. Angelo and Dylan’s relationship was already deep and devoted, but what makes their journey shine was the circle of friends at Whisper Farm who held them up when distance and uncertainty started to wear them down. The farm wasn’t just a setting — it’s a found family that gives them strength, clarity, and a sense of belonging. Even with miles between them and difficult choices ahead, the love Angelo and Dylan shared never wavered. Their connection was steady, heartfelt, and powerful enough to push them toward a future where they don’t have to say goodbye anymore. A warm, emotional read about friendship, resilience, and a love determined to find its way home. This was an MM story with mature content.

Believe by Garrett Leigh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rhys, a thrill‑seeking flight paramedic who fills his nights with clubs and casual hookups, insists he isn’t lonely — until he meets Jevon, a gentle, sunshine‑bright acrobat and play therapist home from his travels. Their spark is immediate, but Jevon’s confidence falters when things turn intimate, and Rhys becomes determined to show him just how captivating he truly is. As friendship deepens into something more, the clock works against them: Jevon is preparing to leave the UK again, and Rhys struggles to voice the feelings he’s never allowed himself to have. With time running out, Rhys must decide whether he can accept the love and happiness Jevon is offering before it slips away.

I loved this romance that absolutely glows with chemistry. Rhys and Jevon spark from the moment they meet — the adrenaline‑chasing paramedic and the gentle, sunshine‑bright acrobat who sees the world through kindness. Their connection feels electric, but what makes the story truly special is how that attraction deepens into something tender and transformative. Both men have their own vulnerabilities, and watching them learn to trust each other is at the heart of the book. Jevon’s warmth gives Rhys the space to confront his loneliness, his fears, and the belief that he isn’t worthy of love. In turn, Rhys becomes the steady presence Jevon needs, someone who sees his beauty and strength even when he doubts himself. A gorgeous friends‑to‑lovers journey filled with heat, heart, and the slow, steady unfolding of two men learning to love each other — and themselves. This was an MM story with mature content.

Whisper by Garrett Leigh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Harry, a stressed physiotherapist, escapes to a remote Cornish farm to work on his book. Joe, the grumpy horse farmer hosting him, is struggling to keep his rescue farm afloat. Forced to share space, the two opposites slowly grow closer, and when an accident puts Joe in Harry’s care, their connection deepens into something neither expected — if the farm’s troubles don’t pull them apart.

I loved this story which was a beautifully soft, slow‑burn romance where opposites don’t just attract — they fit together in a way that feels completely right. Harry and Joe couldn’t be more different on the surface: one is a calm, gentle physiotherapist from the city, the other a grumpy, overworked Cornish horse farmer. Yet every moment they share proves how perfectly they balance each other. One of the loveliest parts of the story is how Harry doesn’t just fall for Joe — he becomes part of Whisper Farm itself. The animals, the land, and Joe’s found‑family circle all quietly adopt him, giving him a place to belong just as much as he gives Joe someone to lean on. A tender, heartfelt read about unexpected connection, healing, and finding home in a person — and a farm — you never saw coming. This was an MM story with mature content.

Dream by Garrett Leigh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dylan, heartbroken from unrequited love, seeks escape in a no‑strings encounter at Lovato’s — only to discover that his hookup, Angelo, needs far more than a distraction. Angelo, a former ballet dancer whose career was ended by illness, is struggling with loneliness, fear, and a future he can’t quite face. Their one night of comfort turns into something deeper, but both men are weighed down by past hurts and insecurities. Dylan must learn to trust again, and Angelo must believe he’s worthy of love despite everything he’s lost. If they can confront their fears, they might find a future bright enough for both of them.

I loved this tender, emotionally rich romance that shines because of the deep care Dylan and Angelo show for one another. What begins as a moment of escape slowly transformed into a connection built on gentleness, vulnerability, and genuine effort. Dylan’s quiet determination to understand Angelo’s illness — not out of obligation, but out of love — is one of the most moving parts of the story. His willingness to learn, to listen, and to support Angelo in ways that truly matter gives their relationship a beautiful sense of safety. Angelo, in turn, offers Dylan a kind of honesty and openness that helps him heal from past heartbreak. Their bond grew not through grand gestures, but through small acts of compassion that make every step of their journey feel earned. A heartfelt hurt/comfort romance where love is shown in the softest, most meaningful ways. This was an MM story with mature content.

Kiss Me Again by Garrett Leigh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aidan, a loner recovering from a life‑changing accident, meets Ludo, a brilliant, restless man whose bipolar world burns in vivid colour. Their late‑night hospital conversations spark a connection neither can shake. When they reunite, Aidan’s slow healing and Ludo’s instability collide, yet together they find something that feels almost whole. Loving Ludo means weathering every shade of his storms—but their bond shines brightest in the dark.

I loved this tender, beautifully intense story about two men who found something extraordinary in each other at the worst possible moment. Aidan and Ludo’s connection is immediate and powerful—quiet sparks in a hospital room that grew into a love neither of them expected. What moved me most was how deeply they care, even when life is messy, painful, and unpredictable. Ludo’s struggle with his mental health is portrayed with honesty and compassion, never shying away from the hard moments but never reducing him to them either. Aidan’s steady, patient devotion becomes its own kind of healing, and together they build something fragile, luminous, and fiercely worth fighting for. A heartfelt, emotional romance about choosing each other through every shade—bright, dark, and everything in between. This was an MM story with mature content.
