The Beast Who Broke Me by Leighton Greene
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caligula escapes Damiano Orsini, the beast who once bought and caged him, thinking he can reclaim his throne alone — but he quickly learns he can’t survive without help. With no other options, he returns to Damiano determined to use and control him instead of being controlled. Living under Damiano’s roof again blurs every line. Strategy turns into surrender, and the man who chained him becomes the only thing standing between Caligula and whoever wants him dead. Wanting him is dangerous… but losing him might be worse.

The push and pull between Caligula and Damiano only intensifies in this instalment, swinging sharply between brutality and unexpected tenderness. Their dynamic is volatile, emotional, and constantly shifting, and I loved how many clear, vivid feelings were woven through every moment. Both men make miscalculations along the way, but the biggest mistakes hit right at the end — and that cliffhanger lands hard. The story captures perfectly how thin the line between domination, dependence, anger, and longing can be, and how tangled their connection has become. A gripping continuation full of emotion, tension, and raw intensity. I’m absolutely ready for the next part. This was an MM story with mature content.

The Beast Who Bought Me by Leighton Greene
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Caligula Clemenza, once a mafia prince, is now the last heir of a bloodline being hunted down. With no allies or resources left, he turns to an underground auction where desperate men are sold. Instead of being bought by a stranger, he’s claimed by Damiano Orsini — a man with a long‑standing vendetta against Caligula’s father. Dragged into a private prison built just for him, Caligula expects cruelty, not protection. But when danger follows him, Damiano becomes both captor and shield… and the real risk becomes how much Caligula starts wanting him to stay.

Their relationship begins with possession, cruelty, and a power imbalance that’s impossible to ignore — but as events force them to rely on each other, that dynamic slowly shifts. I loved how their connection grew into something neither of them expected, showing just how thin the line between love and hate can be. What stood out most was how clearly their thoughts and feelings were written. Every moment — fear, anger, longing, confusion — was vivid enough that I felt like I was living it alongside them. Watching them move from enemies locked in a cage of vengeance to reluctant partners working together was gripping. I’m definitely looking forward to the next instalment and seeing where their volatile, compelling bond goes next. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Champagne Charade by Leighton Greene 4 of 5 stars

Champagne Charade by Leighton Greene
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tyler never told his best friend about his breakup, and with the New Year’s Eve wedding approaching, his ex is still on the guest list. When he unexpectedly runs into his friend, panic takes over and a lie slips out — helped along by Damon, his casual hookup, who jokingly offered to pose as the ex. What’s meant to be a one‑night fake relationship quickly becomes complicated as Tyler starts falling for Damon’s warmth and all the pretend affection that feels a little too real. With the wedding — and the end of their charade — looming, Tyler has to face the possibility that what started as an act might be something more.

I loved this novella that shines because of the quiet, powerful connection between Tyler and Damon. Even before the fake‑dating scheme begins, there’s an ease and trust between them that makes the whole charade feel surprisingly natural — almost like they were already halfway to something real without admitting it. What really pulls you in is how much they hide from each other while pretending to be a couple. All the staged affection, the whispered asides, the lingering touches… they’re meant to be for show, yet every moment is charged with the feelings neither man is ready to confess. That tension — trust on the surface, longing underneath — gives the story its emotional punch. A warm, sexy, and heartfelt fake‑relationship romance where the act only works because the connection was real all along. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like D/s dynamic.

Review: Haunted Hearts by Leighton Greene 4 of 5 stars

Haunted Hearts by Leighton Greene
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oliver gives things a second try with Lord Arden after their first weekend together goes badly, only to find himself increasingly drawn to the man beneath the icy, demanding exterior. As their dynamic softens into something deeper, Oliver senses Arden’s loneliness and the ghosts he refuses to share. With Arden set to return to England after the Halloween masquerade, Oliver must figure out whether he can reach the guarded man he’s falling for — or if Arden is already preparing to disappear from his life.

I loved this story where Lord Arden was the kind of character who steals the spotlight the moment he appears — all sharp edges, exacting standards, and a perfectly controlled exterior that dares anyone to get too close. Watching Oliver navigate that intensity is both thrilling and nerve‑wracking, because Arden’s emotional distance has the very real potential to break his heart. What makes the story so compelling is the tension between Arden’s rigid self‑containment and Oliver’s growing feelings. Every small crack in Arden’s armour feels monumental, and every moment of softness hints at the possibility that he might actually fall just as hard. The question of whether he’ll let himself do it keeps the pages turning. A deliciously prickly, emotionally charged romance where vulnerability is the ultimate risk — and the ultimate reward. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like D/s dynamic.

Star Spanked by Leighton Greene
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sebastian, a British celebrity chef hiding from the tabloids in L.A., has a scorching anonymous encounter at an adults‑only club. Ezra, a model craving more than superficial attention, is captivated by the older stranger — and stunned when he later discovers his mystery man is his new boss. Their chemistry reignites instantly, but between the age gap, workplace complications, and disapproving voices around them, keeping their connection alive won’t be easy.

I loved that this romance fizzled from the very first moment Sebastian and Ezra crossed paths. Their attraction is instant, magnetic, and only grows stronger as they’re pulled back into each other’s orbit. What makes their connection so compelling is how effortlessly it rises above the gossip, judgment, and outside negativity trying to pull them apart. No matter what’s thrown at them, the spark between them refuses to dim. There’s also a beautiful thread of trust woven through their relationship. As they explore a BDSM-like D/s dynamic together, it never feels performative or forced — it’s grounded in genuine care, communication, and a deep desire to understand one another. That trust becomes the foundation that lets them grow grow together. A warm, spicy, and surprisingly tender MM story with mature content about chemistry that can’t be denied and love that thrives even under pressure.

Review: Taming Tristan by Leighton Greene 4 of 5 stars

Taming Tristan by Leighton Greene
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Seth Jackson takes a bet to tame Tristan Taylor by Valentine’s Day so he can clear his family’s debts. But Tristan — sharp, chaotic, and unexpectedly vulnerable — proves far more captivating than Seth ever planned. As real feelings grow, the secret bet threatens to destroy the fragile trust forming between them.

This romance is a delicious blend of heat, heart, and high stakes. Seth and Tristan spark off each other from the very first moment — all sharp edges, teasing clashes, and an undeniable pull that only grows stronger. What begins as a reckless bet quickly turns into something far more meaningful, and watching Seth fall for the very man he was supposed to “tame” is half the fun. The tension isn’t just emotional; the secret hanging over Seth’s head adds a steady thrum of danger to their growing connection. Tristan’s vulnerability and hard‑won trust make every step toward intimacy feel earned, and every risk feel sharper. A fast, flirty, and surprisingly heartfelt read about love sneaking in where you least expect it — and the gamble of choosing honesty over fear. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like D/s dynamic.

Winter Wonders by Leighton Greene
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jonathan’s lonely Christmas plans fall apart when his car breaks down in a snowstorm and he’s rescued by Cooper Kincaid — a gorgeous stranger who turns out to be very wealthy and very desperate for a fake boyfriend to survive his family’s holiday drama. After a surprise hookup, Cooper claims Jon as his new partner to fend off a meddling mother and a toxic ex. Jon agrees to play along, and their pretend romance quickly turns warm, intimate, and real, especially as Cooper explores a more dominant side he’s never shared before. As the holiday gala approaches, both men must decide whether this Christmas charade is just convenient…or the beginning of something real.

I loved this warm, funny, and wonderfully heartfelt holiday romance built on the instant connection between Jon and Cooper. What starts as a snowy rescue and a one‑night spark quickly deepens into something real, tender, and impossible for either of them to ignore. Their chemistry feels natural from the start, and watching those feelings grow beneath the “fake boyfriend” act is pure joy. Of course, Cooper’s well‑meaning but meddling mother adds plenty of chaos to the mix, pushing him toward his ex and unintentionally nudging Jon and Cooper closer together. Her interference creates the perfect backdrop for the two men to realise that what they’re pretending has quietly become the truth. A charming, cosy holiday read full of genuine emotion, unexpected love, and just the right amount of family drama. This was an MM story with mature content.
