Review: Wounded Mate by Lee Colgin 3 of 5 stars

Wounded Mate by Lee Colgin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An incubus named Valius is suddenly struck by the agony of a feral werewolf’s wounds — pain that isn’t his, but belongs to Bela, a dying wolf left for dead by a hostile pack. When Valius finds him, the moment their eyes meet reveals the truth: they’re mates. For Bela, who has lived a life of loneliness and suffering, that spark gives him something worth fighting for. But a witch’s curse threatens to tear them apart, and fate’s fragile gift may not be enough to save their bond.

This was a sweet novella that managed to tell a complete story within its shorter length, but I did feel it was missing some of the deeper feelings and emotional detail that would have made the connection between the characters truly shine. Even so, it was an enjoyable read with a clear arc and a satisfying resolution. This was an MM story with mature content.

** Please note that this story was originally published in a Fated Mates Charity Anthology **

Review: Stray by Lee Colgin 4 of 5 stars

Stray by Lee Colgin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Leonas, a grumpy panther shifter devoted to protecting the Twig & Berries brothel, wants nothing to do with romance — until Jeno, a young vampire on the run, arrives with bad news and an obvious crush. Drawn to each other despite their prickly edges and painful pasts, they must face the dangers chasing Jeno and the emotional walls trapping them both.

I really enjoyed this story about two men who were both used to suffering alone, even if Leonas was far more determined to keep everyone — including happiness — at arm’s length. Jeno’s refusal to accept that distance, and his gentle but persistent pursuit of the grumpy panther shifter, was one of the most satisfying parts of the book. I loved seeing different paranormal races come together to deal with the danger threatening the area. That teamwork added excitement and gave the world a rich, interconnected feel. And after everything they’d endured separately, it was wonderful to see Leonas and Jeno finally get the happy ending they both deserved. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Changeling by Lee Colgin 4 of 5 stars

Changeling by Lee Colgin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dominus, a bored incubus who runs the Twig & Berries brothel, finds his life shaken up when Sebastian — a newly displaced changeling fae — arrives seeking safety after learning the truth about his heritage. When danger forces Sebastian to take shelter with Dominus, the spark between them quickly turns into heated tension. Dominus hasn’t been interested in anyone for ages, and Sebastian is the first to catch his attention… but he’s fae, and Dominus has every reason to hate faeries. As trespassers close in, the two must decide whether they’ll remain enemies or let desire break the curse that stands between them.

I loved this story about two men from completely different paranormal races learning not only how to understand each other, but also how to understand themselves. Their connection grew in such an engaging way, shaped by their differences as much as their similarities. One of my favourite parts was how the story let us learn about their races right alongside Sebastian. As he discovered the world he truly belonged to — one he’d never been taught about — the reader was educated at the same pace, making every revelation feel natural and meaningful. The emotions, the tension, the curiosity, and the slow building trust all came through clearly, making it an easy story to read, feel, and understand. A wonderfully immersive paranormal romance. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Mongrel by Lee Colgin 4 of 5 stars

Mongrel by Lee Colgin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Andras, a werewolf living on the pack’s fringes, agrees to help Bowie, a gentle vampire searching for missing girls. Bowie’s respect and kindness spark trust, and together they travel across Hungary, facing wilderness, danger, and a deadly killer. As their bond grows, they must overcome past trauma and work together to save the captives.

I loved this story and the way Andras and Bowie were drawn together as they worked side by side to find the missing girls. Their relationship began with simple kindness, respect, and trust — the very things Andras had been denied by his own pack — and that gentle foundation made their growing affection feel all the more meaningful. The journey across Hungary was beautifully described, and I really enjoyed the details of the landscapes, the villages, and the places they had to take refuge during daylight hours. Those moments of quiet shelter added depth to both the world and their bond. Their feelings and emotions came through clearly, and I felt every step of their connection as it deepened from warmth into something far more profound. The ending made me genuinely happy — a true happily ever after for two men who deserved it. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Sullied by Lee Colgin 3 of 5 stars

Sullied: MM Paranormal Romance by Lee Colgin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Dr. Rupert Martin works in a secret lab creating hybrid vampires, something he regrets once he learns the truth. When Sullivan — Specimen 19 — escapes, injured and moments from sunrise, he turns to the only person who ever showed him kindness. Ru takes him in, and as they run from the lab’s reach, danger grows alongside an unexpected attraction. Together, they must decide whether they can destroy the very place that created Sully before it destroys them.

I really liked the way Ru and Sully’s connection began with simple kindness — Ru treating Sully as a person who deserved care rather than a lab specimen. That early respect made their bond feel genuine, and Sully’s childlike delight at every new experience was one of the most charming parts of the story. I did find their shift from patient and caretaker to lovers a little strange at times, and honestly, Sully often seemed to have a stronger emotional connection with Zoe. Still, the story had plenty of feelings throughout, most of them carried beautifully by Sully, who really became the heart of the book. An enjoyable, emotional read with a unique dynamic and a memorable pairing. This was an MM story with mature content.
