Review: Craving Sin by Riley Hart 4 of 5 stars

Craving Sin by Riley Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rian, ruthless head of the O’Shea family, becomes dangerously obsessed with Doctor Preston Abbott and kidnaps him after an attempt on his life. Hidden away in a remote cabin, Preston treats his injuries even while knowing he may not survive. As days pass, Preston’s care and vulnerability spark a craving in Rian he never expected, blurring the line between captive and desired. In Rian’s violent world, Preston is his — to want, to touch… and possibly to kill.

This was a dramatic, emotionally charged story, following Rian through both his physical recovery and a powerful bi‑awakening that shakes the foundations of his violent, controlled world. The tension never lets up — Rian insists from the start that he’ll kill Abbott once he’s healed, and Abbott accepts that fate with heartbreaking calm, adding a constant thread of jeopardy to every moment between them. Their connection is intense, messy, and full of feeling, making the darker elements of the story hit even harder. The ending delivers a dramatic punch, and with the way things close, there’s clearly more to uncover as the series continues. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: The Alien Prince’s Mate by Lorelei M. Hart by Colbie Dunbar 3 of 5 stars

The Alien Prince’s Mate by Lorelei M. Hart by Colbie Dunbar
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Alpha Prince Esak discovers a parent he never knew and learns his fated mate lives on another planet. Omega Blake is staying at Shore’s Home B&B, still shaken from their first encounter. He tries to keep a low profile… until Esak walks in, making hiding impossible. Despite every rule he’s been taught, Blake wants to be seen — especially by Esak.

This was an enjoyable story where Esak not only found his fated mate but also finally discovered his missing parent, giving the plot a lovely mix of romance and revelation. Blake’s talent was amazing, and the way he lived so much of his life in fear made him deeply relatable — especially once Esak stepped into his world. I did smile at the surprise over a pregnancy after unprotected sex, but it didn’t take away from the charm of the story. There were clear emotions and feelings throughout, especially around Esak’s reunion with his parent, which added a warm emotional core to the story. This was an MM story with mature content and set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

The Alien Prince's Alpha by Lorelei M. Hart by Colbie Dunbar
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Prince Herix becomes heir when his brother leaves Thulnara for his mate on Earth, and he must now find his own destined partner before one is chosen for him. A soothsayer reveals his true mate is also on Earth — so Herix breaks tradition and goes to find him. In a seaside town, Alpha Lennox runs a small B&B and has been saving one room for the man he’s seen in dreams. When Herix arrives, Lennox knows instantly he’s the one.

A nice, easy fated‑mates romance between a human and an alien, this story had a gentle charm even if it wasn’t particularly inspiring. I enjoyed reading it, especially the way their connection unfolded across worlds, but it didn’t quite deliver the emotional depth I hoped for. Still, the pairing had a sweet appeal, and the destined‑bond angle kept the story moving. A pleasant read overall, even if it doesn’t stand out among other fated mates stories. This was an MM story with mature content and set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

The Alien Prince’s Omega by Lorelei M. Hart by Colbie Dunbar
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Alpha Prince Kagin learns his mate isn’t on Thulnara but on Earth, so he breaks every rule to find him. Omega vet Hanson keeps dreaming of a blue baby that feels like his… until a mysterious woman says “he’s coming.” That hope becomes real when Hanson nearly runs Kagin over with his car — their fated meeting at last.

I really appreciated that Kagin understood a mate bond wouldn’t be instant for a human and genuinely tried to go slowly, giving Hanson the space he needed. That patience was one of the strongest parts of the story. I also enjoyed the involvement of the soothsayer, which added a nice touch of mysticism. But overall, I struggled with the lack of emotions and deeper feelings, and the near‑instalove pacing made the romance feel a bit too quick and underdeveloped. A sweet idea with some lovely moments, but I found myself wishing for more emotional depth and a slower, richer build between them.

Review: Beary Mated Christmas by Lorelei M. Hart 2 of 5 stars

Beary Mated Christmas by Lorelei M. Hart
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Denali once believed he and his best friend Abel were destined mates, but their first shift on Christmas Eve shatters that dream when Abel’s wolf doesn’t recognise him. Heartbroken, Denali avoids home every holiday, hiding in his college town. This year, a panic lie sends him to a random rental for Christmas — only to find himself sharing a bed with the very past he’s been running from.

The first half of this story pulled me in with its pacing, emotion, and setup — but the second half shifted so quickly that it felt like the romance and deeper storytelling were pushed aside. It was a bit jarring to see Denali and Abel suddenly confess everything and then, within two days, become mates, marked, and engaged. The emotional beats were there, but they didn’t have enough space to land. That said, the writing itself is easy to follow, the characters are engaging, and the premise is charming. I just wish the later chapters had slowed down enough to let the romance breathe. This was an MM story with mature content and set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

Review: Dirty Little Secret by Riley Hart 4 of 5 stars

Dirty Little Secret by Riley Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

James, a forty‑year‑old professor, has been meeting Colton through an app because their emotional needs align. He plans to end things, but his life is upended when he suddenly gains custody of younger siblings — and then discovers Colton is now a student in his class. Despite the age gap and the professional boundary between them, their connection only deepens as James leans on the structure Colton provides and Colton feels increasingly drawn to James’s vulnerability and strength. What began as a private arrangement becomes a complicated, meaningful bond neither of them can ignore.

A deeply emotional story with an undeniable connection at its centre, this book beautifully shows how James and Colton’s bond grows into something bigger than either of them expected — a relationship that expands to include James’s two siblings until the four of them feel like a real family. Their dynamic is tender, steady, and full of longing, and watching them navigate that pull is incredibly satisfying. I appreciated that the story doesn’t shy away from the complicated emotions involved: the shock and responsibility of unexpected guardianship, the fear and desire wrapped up in a forbidden relationship, and the vulnerability required from both men as they try to do right by each other and the kids. It’s heartfelt, easy to read, and grounded in genuine feeling, making their eventual togetherness feel well earned and deeply warm. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like D/s dynamic.

Review: Sweet Obsession by Riley Hart 5 of 5 stars

Sweet Obsession by Riley Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rory is coming undone, and it all starts the moment he meets Shai Burrows. Shai fascinates him so much that Rory begins following and watching him — only to discover Shai is the one who robbed him. Instead of shutting things down, the revelation only deepens Rory’s obsession. They strike a deal: Shai will work off what he owes with his body, something they’re both far too eager for. One touch is all it takes for their worlds to collide. Rory has always thrived in chaos, but wanting Shai by his side is new territory. Their connection feeds on danger, desire, and the thrill of crossing lines they shouldn’t. As Rory’s fixation grows, he realises he wants everything from Shai — and he’ll take it. But in a violent world where control is everything, losing Shai might be the one thing that finally pushes Rory past the point of no return.

I loved that Rory and Shai’s obsession with each other is intense, messy, and completely addictive. What made their dynamic so compelling is the way Shai, despite all the danger surrounding them, becomes the one person who can steady Rory when it truly matters. Their love isn’t just passion — it extends outward, strengthening their bond with the wider family and grounding them in a world built on chaos. The author did a brilliant job capturing their thoughts and emotions, making every moment of fear, desire, and devotion feel vivid and real. Their connection is raw, volatile, and strangely beautiful, and I loved every second of it. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Santa's Knotty Workshop by Jena Wade by Lorelei M. Hart 2 of 5 stars

Santa's Knotty Workshop by Jena Wade by Lorelei M. Hart
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Percy is transferred to a new workshop where he feels out of place and inexperienced. While working, he stumbles upon a mysterious toy that seems destined for him, and in a bold moment, he takes it despite the risks. Later, Percy discovers the toy was modelled after the famous Santa 69, who unexpectedly appears at his door. But Santa isn’t interested in reclaiming the toy—he’s interested in Percy himself.

This story was a playful holiday romance about fate, courage, and the surprise of finding love where you least expect it. I liked that the Christmas setting framed the story as one of unexpected miracles and second chances, and that Percy’s naivety contrasted with the boldness of his choices, highlighting his growth and self‑discovery. The story was quite high-level and focused on mature themes, so I felt they could have delved more into the emotions and feelings experienced by both. This was an MM story with mature content set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

The Holiday Exchange by Riley Hart by Christina Lee

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Dawson has a quiet crush on Briar, the charming regular at his café. But just as he’s about to make a move, Briar shows up dating Dawson’s twin brother, Nathan. Three months later—right before Christmas—Nathan dumps Briar, leaving him heartbroken and without a date for his family holiday in Maine. In a twist worthy of a rom-com, Briar asks Dawson to pose as his boyfriend for the trip. What starts as a friendly favour quickly rekindles the spark Dawson always felt. As they navigate festive small-town charm, nosy relatives, and lingering feelings, Dawson must decide if he’s brave enough to confess the truth: he’s been falling for Briar all along. Now the question is—can a fake holiday romance turn into something real?

I enjoyed this novella which was a seasonal fake date story with the twin brother feeding into the confusion. I did find it a bit hard to get past the thought of the fact that Briar had had sex with both twins and how he resisted comparing their performance. The setting was very Hallmark Christmas Movie like which was nice. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Sweet Vengeance by Riley Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cillian lives in a world shaped by violence and vengeance, so he’s stunned by his growing obsession with Ollie Gibson—a gentle, brave soul who seems to embody everything Cillian isn’t. Their connection is electric, forged in crisis when Ollie is attacked and Cillian steps in, not just to protect him, but to claim him. As their bond deepens, Cillian finds himself craving both Ollie’s innocence and his hidden fire. Despite their stark differences—criminal and future lawyer, killer and healer—they find solace in each other. But their love exists in a fragile space between light and darkness, and Cillian fears that one day, Ollie will walk away from the violence that defines him. What began as something temporary becomes a fierce, aching need. And Cillian must face the truth: loving Ollie might be the only thing that ever made him feel truly alive… and the one thing he may not be able to keep.

I loved this opposites attract story. At the heart of the story is the stark contrast between Cillian and Ollie—criminal and future lawyer, hardened and soft, violent and kind. Their relationship thrived in this tension, exploring how opposites can not only attract but also challenge and transform each other. It suggested that love doesn’t require sameness—it flourishes in difference.  I also loved that the story explored the fragility of love born in crisis, and the ache of knowing that something beautiful may not last. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Bittersweet Revenge by Riley Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dean has spent years in hiding, consumed by grief and a burning desire for revenge against Sloan O’Shea—the man who murdered his father. His plan is calculated: infiltrate Ashford University, earn the trust of Sloan’s son Tiernan, and use that bond to get close enough to destroy the man who shattered his life. But Tiernan isn’t just his father’s shadow. Beneath the arrogance and danger lies a fiercely loyal, unexpectedly tender soul. As Dean’s mission unfolds, he finds himself drawn to Tiernan in ways he never anticipated. Their connection is raw, electric, and deeply personal—forcing Dean to confront the cost of vengeance when love enters the equation. In the end, Dean must choose between justice and the one person who’s made him feel truly seen.

I loved this story of obsession, identity, and the aching complexity of falling for the enemy. At its heart, this is a story about the corrosive pull of vengeance and the unexpected possibility of healing.  Dean’s quest for vengeance is the driving force of the plot, but it’s challenged by the unexpected depth of his connection with Tiernan. The story explores how love can complicate, soften, or even dismantle a long-held desire for retribution. Both men conceal parts of themselves—Dean hides his past and motives, while Tiernan masks his vulnerability. Their relationship becomes a space where masks fall and true identities emerge. Dean’s pain is inherited from his father’s murder, and Tiernan bears the weight of his father’s sins. The story questions whether people are doomed to repeat the past or can choose a different path. Trust is both weapon and wound here as Dean gains Tiernan’s trust to destroy him, only to find himself emotionally compromised. This underscores how trust, once given, can change everything. A deeply emotional story with a lot of depth of feelings. This was an MM story with mature content.

This is a story about Beau, an overworked omega dragon shifter, and Clark, a human alpha who suddenly becomes the single father of infant triplets.

He calls the service looking for a manny, but instead finds much more in the capable, new shifter who arrives to help him.
