Cowboy Shep by Sam E. Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shepard suspects the death of his mentor Saber wasn’t a simple accident, so he travels to Georgia to support Parker Howzer, Saber’s newly orphaned son. Parker is grieving and suddenly in danger from people searching for something his parents left behind. Shepard arrives determined to protect him, and as the threat grows, so does the unexpected bond forming between them.

I loved this story and its gripping mix of murder mystery, conspiracy, and danger at every turn, all anchored by the undeniable connection between Shepard and Parker. Their bond sits right at the heart of the book, giving every twist and threat an emotional weight that pulled me in completely. The plot felt like a rollercoaster, moving from discovery to discovery and from threat to danger, all woven together with tender, intimate moments between the two men. I was absolutely addicted, reading faster and faster just to see what would happen next. The story was packed with emotions and feelings, all easy to read, feel, and understand, making the journey both thrilling and heartfelt. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Guardian Gabe by Sam E. Kraemer 4 of 5 stars

Guardian Gabe by Sam E. Kraemer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gabriele’s quiet life unravels when two kids appear in his lobby and Dexter Carrington storms in claiming Gabriele is their father. Dexter, suddenly responsible for his niece and nephew after his mother’s death, is desperate to find the man in an old photo — but Gabriele insists he’s just a wedding photographer, even though Dexter spots a gun holster that suggests otherwise. Both men quickly realise their once‑peaceful lives are about to get far more complicated as they’re pulled into each other’s orbit.

This was a fantastic blend of murder mystery, thriller, and romance, all anchored by two children who remain at the heart of the story. I loved that their safety, wellbeing, and the love surrounding them stayed central as Gabriele, Dexter, and their associates fought to protect them from escalating danger. The relationship between the two men started off fiery and full of friction, but as the chaos around them intensified, they realised they’d somehow fallen in love. That shift gave them an even stronger reason to fight for their fledgling family and for a future together. The story was jam‑packed with emotions and feelings, all clearly written, and the rising tension as the mystery unfolded kept me hooked. A gripping, heartfelt read that balances danger, love, and family beautifully. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Ranger Hank by Sam E. Kraemer 5 of 5 stars

Ranger Hank by Sam E. Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hank leaves the Army after years of hiding his true self, returning home to Missouri hoping to finally build a life that’s honest and not lonely. He’s unsure where to start, but he knows he wants someone to share his days and nights. Reed, a devoted special‑education teacher longing for a stable relationship, meets Hank at a Christmas Eve service and is immediately struck by his sadness and quiet strength. Despite their differences, Reed finds himself drawn to Hank and to his therapy dog Cosmo wondering if the future he thought was impossible might actually be within reach.

I loved this story and the way it beautifully captured the undeniable connection between Hank and Reed while never losing sight of the challenges they each faced — both individually and together. Hank’s PTSD was treated with the sensitivity and seriousness it deserved, showing its impact on him and on the man who loves him without ever diminishing the reality of living with it. I also really appreciated how Reed’s workplace challenges, especially the homophobia and prejudice directed at his students, were handled. Those moments added depth and grounded the story in real‑world emotion. Their relationship grew with care, warmth, and a steady pull that felt impossible to ignore. The mystery surrounding the final stages of Hank’s military career was gripping and added tension to the emotional journey. There were plenty of feelings throughout that were all clearly written and easy to connect with making this a heartfelt read that tugs at your heartstrings. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: A Little Christmas 4: Teller by Sam E. Kraemer 3 of 5 stars

A Little Christmas 4: Teller by Sam E. Kraemer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Teller Buchanan, an aspiring fashion designer, juggles three jobs to survive while dreaming of creating clothing for adults who embrace age play and the comfort of being cared for. His life feels stuck—until fate introduces him to Briggs York, a wealthy real estate mogul with sparkling green eyes and a longing for a “little” to love. Briggs has spent years moving around the world, building his empire but sacrificing his personal happiness. Relocating to the Midwest, he hopes to finally slow down and find the connection he craves. Meeting Teller ignites that possibility, but Teller must decide if Briggs’s interest is genuine or just another scheme. As Christmas approaches, both men face questions of trust, vulnerability, and love.

I enjoyed this story where we find out if Teller can find the Daddy he’s been searching for—and whether Briggs can prove he’s the real gift of the season. Such a sweet story although some of their issues were farcical. I did like that Teller's best friend was a large part of the story. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.
