Redeeming Bosley by Sammi Cee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sometimes you have to make deals with the devil to save the people you love. Cory is changing Bosley's life. His quirky boy is so opposite of him in every way. Sweet and vulnerable, he’s willing to wear his heart on his sleeve. He’s willing to accept who Bosley is and what he is and so he won’t fail him. Now his worries are Bosley's. His found family is Bosley's too. His to shelter and his to protect. To do that, he'll make another deal with the devil. One that will draw him out of the shadows to align him with a crime Family. They’ll give him the soldiers and resources to give my Cory answers, and hopefully, get his remaining family member back. He's playing a dangerous game. One he's determined to win. No matter the cost. Because he'd do anything for his boy. Anything to keep him by his side.

I enjoyed this second book in the duology which gave us more about Cory and Bosley. I liked the way that some of the loose ends were resolved which I could see spawning new books in that world. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like Daddy/boy dynamic.

Once Upon a Mistletoe Kiss by Sammi Cee
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When the older man moves in next door with his two loud children and irritating pets, Adrian ignores them. He doesn’t want his life to change. Except it does. Between Victor and his kids, someone’s always knocking on his door needing something. Or wanting to share delicious baked goods or a meal. He doesn’t need nice neighbours. He doesn’t want people in his space - especially ones with small, dirty fingers and a million questions. But there’s something about Victor's smile. The twinkle in his eyes and his merry laugh when it comes to all things festive… He’s making Adrian wish and dream and hope for holiday magic and mistletoe kisses. He’s making him believe in family.

This was a really sweet story as Victor and his kids broke down all of Adrian's walls and gave him the family he didn't know he needed. I loved Adrian's relationship with the kids and that it was individual to each child. Victor was a gentle man but very determined to win Adrian over. Easy to read, feel and understand.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Crispin wants a lot of things like to move out of his brother’s house, to stop working so many jobs and to climb the tall, dark, and broody photographer who lives upstairs like a tree. When Archer sees the sexy young yoga instructor, he is intrigued. As a businessman, Archer understands working hard for what you want, and he respects that. But when a photograph taken at the Windsor leads to Crispin putting himself in danger, Archer steps in. Crispin may want a lot of things, but Archer knows what he needs - a Daddy to help lighten his load and keep him out of trouble.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luca has waited on tables in the Tap Tavern for years and in the last six months he has had his relationship with his coworkers change from acquaintances to friends. After letting it slip that he is an unattached boy they are out to find him a Daddy for Christmas. But Harrison is the only unattached Daddy there and although he is rich and gorgeous he only plays and never commits. As holiday giving is in full swing Luca sees the heart that is behind Harrison's arrogance which leaves him confused - the sexy man in suits with a huge ego is not supposed to be fun and willing to get his hands dirty. Luca isn’t sure he buys into Christmas magic, but by the time this season is done, he may just believe that Harrison is the gift his heart needs.

I loved this story where Luca discovers that what you see on the surface is not what you get or see deep down if you only look and that there is a thin line between love and hate. There were times when I felt sorry for Harrison and the way that Luca was so down on him so I was thrilled when he saw Harrison for real and understood the man. A lovely look back at the Takoda world and with such a great Christmas message of giving and helping others. Easy to read, feel and understand this will make you smile.

Vampire Caesar prides himself on his control as he has a business and town that keep the Omegas in his care safe. Omega Garland maintains a distance from the other Omegas and dances at the Carousel Lounge when requested but at all other times, he studies at the computer in his room as he is determined to get his degree and fight for equality for all Omegas. When the truth is revealed as part of an argument Garland considers fleeing but then discovers his found family and that Caesar will do whatever it takes to claim his mate.

Sadly this is the last book in the Carousal Lounge and it was fitting that it was between Caesar and Garland. I loved the way that the other Omegas did everything they could to make sure that Garland knew everything and that he was treated right. There was a lot of new information in this story but it did seem to be the right place to do it. Easy to read, feel and understand I was behind them both and that everything would work out for them.

Omega Cloud's life is in turmoil even if his friends don't understand why and so he parties and drinks moonshine to give him some relief. Alpha Marco has no patience for someone who can't see the number of people who are there for them but when he is asked to protect Cloud he does it in a very detached way while quietly seething at his behaviour as he needs a good spanking. When Cloud considers what was almost a night of tragedy his fault, the repercussions are shocking. Can fated mates who both believe the goddess is punishing them ever find a HEA with their other half?

I enjoyed this story with the tortured Cloud who was drinking himself into oblivion, and the frustrated friends and Marco who were in despair as to why he was doing it. I loved the way that Marco cared for him when he was ill and didn't lecture him in the way I assumed he would.

I was thrilled when everything was finally sorted out and Cloud and Marco got the HEA that they both deserved. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
