Fire and Iron by Andrew Grey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Former childhood neighbours Fillian, a state trooper from a poor but loving home, and Gregory, an electrician from a wealthy but cold family, reunite when Fillian responds to a call at Gregory’s house. As an unexpected attraction sparks between them, Fillian's stability helps balance Gregory's struggles raising his niece and nephew. However, new family crises threaten to either tear them apart or solidify their bond.

I absolutely loved this book, and I am so sad to see this amazing series come to an end! The story kicks off with such an explosive start—reuniting former neighbours Fillian and Gregory after an attempted assault and an explosion—and it never lets go of the tension. One of my favorite aspects was how completely Fillian accepted Gregory's new life. He understood right away that loving Gregory meant loving Weston and Marnie, too, after the tragic accident that took their parents. Their blended dynamics and Fillian's devotion were so heartwarming. The ongoing mystery of who was targeting Gregory kept me completely hooked, but the final reveal was truly heartbreaking once everything was solved. The entire book was packed with rich, clear emotions and deep feelings that were so easy to read and understand. A deeply moving, gripping, and emotional conclusion to a wonderful series. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Color Blind by Andrew Grey 4 of 5 stars

Color Blind by Andrew Grey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mason Fullerton, a blind man determined to gain independence, gets a job despite his mother's concerns. At the interview, he meets Tyrone Phillips, a shy computer enthusiast who feels he doesn't live up to his parents' expectations. When Mason is hired, Ty helps him settle in, and their friendship gradually grows into romance. Together, they navigate personal insecurities, family prejudice, and their growing feelings as they discover they may be meant for each other.

I really enjoyed this story, even if it wasn't quite my favourite from this author. What stood out most was Mase's journey towards independence. As a blind man, he's constantly fighting for the chance to make his own choices and build a life on his own terms, while his mother's overprotectiveness often borders on trying to hold him back. That struggle felt emotional and realistic, and I found myself rooting for him every step of the way. I also loved Mase and Ty together. Ty's quiet, thoughtful care for Mase was lovely to read, and their relationship developed at a gentle pace that felt natural and heartfelt. Watching them build trust, friendship, and eventually something deeper was definitely the highlight of the book for me. The story is packed with emotion, and I enjoyed the way both characters dealt with their insecurities, family expectations, and the challenges of opening their hearts to someone else. That emotional depth kept me invested throughout. My main criticism was some of the language choices. There were moments where the terminology felt a little questionable or dated, and I found myself wondering whether certain descriptions, particularly concerning Black hair, felt authentic. Overall, this was a sweet, emotional romance with two genuinely likeable characters and a strong focus on personal growth and acceptance. While it didn't reach the same heights as some of this author's other books for me, I still found it an enjoyable and heartfelt read and was glad to spend time with Mase and Ty's story. This was an MM story with mature content.

The Doctor's Desire by Andrew Grey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dustin, a caring doctor, helps Charles’s sick niece and sparks an unexpected connection. As their romance grows, interference from Charles’s mother and Dustin’s boss threatens both their relationship and the family they hope to build.

This was such an emotional and heartfelt read. I loved watching Dustin and Charles's relationship deepen as they cared for little Anna together, creating a beautiful sense of family along the way. Their journey wasn't easy, especially as they faced homophobic prejudice and opposition from those around them, which made their bond feel even more meaningful. Full of warmth, love, and plenty of emotional moments, this story kept me invested in both the romance and the family they were building. A touching and rewarding read. This was an MM story with mature content.

Ginger Snapping All the Way by Gabbi Grey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Maddox, a grump who prefers isolating in his mountain cabin to escape Christmas, agrees to host a stranded traveler as a favor. That stranger is Ravi, who was desperately trying to get home for the birth of his goddaughter when an emergency plane landing and a severe snowstorm left him stranded. Snowbound together in the cabin, an intense attraction sparks between them. However, as Maddox worries about the inevitable heartbreak when Ravi leaves, Ravi is forced to choose between hiding away from his problems or leaving to face his painful past to secure a real future with Maddox.

I enjoyed this story overall, though Maddox definitely tested my patience at times. He was so grumpy and weighed down by his past that I found myself wondering how he even manages to hold down a job. Ravi, on the other hand, was more personable. Even while dealing with his own heavy challenges and stress, his warmth provided such a great contrast to Maddox's moody nature. The story is packed with a lot of angst, tension, and raw emotion, and the characters' feelings were always easy to understand and relate to. This was a snowed-in, opposites-attract romance that was enjoyable. This was an MM story with mature content.

Fire and Ermine by Andrew Grey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Escaping his strict royal life, Prince Reynard of Veronia flees to Carlisle, where he is pulled over for speeding by State Trooper Fisher Bronson. After Reynard's hotel mysteriously catches fire, Fisher takes the stranger in for safety. As they grow close, Reynard reveals his royal identity, relieved to finally be loved for who he is rather than his title. However, their new romance is quickly threatened by royal duty, heavy family expectations, and a dangerous pursuer tracking Reynard's moves.

I loved this story as Reynard’s journey was deeply moving—you could feel him drowning under the weight of a royal life where every single detail was controlled by everyone else. Seeing Fisher step in and give him a taste of a normal life was everything he needed. Fisher didn't just offer him safety; he gave Reynard the confidence to stand up to his family and finally declare what he wanted for his own future. I also loved Fisher’s Gran as she immediately took to Reynard and stepped up to guide them both through some of the toughest decisions they had to make. The story was packed with genuine emotion and clear, relatable feelings from start to finish. Everything was easy to read and understand, making it a satisfying, heartfelt romance. This was an MM story with mature content.

Scorched by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fabrice is finally choosing happiness after years of loneliness, but everything shifts when he meets Kirkland — a man who’s spent his life in the shadows protecting Atticus and now doesn’t know who he is without that role. Fabrice sees something special in him and refuses to let Kirkland hide behind fear or age. What starts as a complication becomes a slow, determined push toward connection, with Fabrice intent on showing Kirkland they’re meant for each other.

I loved this story, especially watching Kirkland slowly learn that he truly deserved love — and seeing Fabrice determined, patient, and absolutely delighted to claim his man. Kirkland’s past was handled with real care, and the support he received from everyone around him made his journey feel both emotional and earned. I also enjoyed how Fabrice’s work–life balance was woven into the story, giving him space to grow beyond the Bosi kitchens. As always with this group of trained killers, the drama was dialled up perfectly, adding tension without overshadowing the romance. The emotions and feelings throughout were clear, well written, and incredibly easy to feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Fire and Glass by Andrew Grey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Casey, a state trooper with no time for a personal life, finds three frightened kids during a missing‑persons call — and reconnects with their uncle, Bertie, an old college friend. Bertie is suddenly responsible for the children and overwhelmed, but Casey steps in to help, and their long‑buried attraction resurfaces. As Casey balances supporting the kids, building a quiet romance, and investigating crimes tied to Bertie’s missing sister, evidence suggests she may be involved, putting strain on their fragile new family.

I loved this story, especially the heartbreaking situation the children were found in and the way their uncle, Bertie, had tried for years to keep track of them despite being estranged from their mother. For florist Bertie, suddenly becoming responsible for three children was overwhelming, and Casey’s steady help (both through his contacts and his own time) made all the difference. For Casey and Bertie, it felt like a genuine second chance to reconnect and see whether a relationship could grow between them while navigating the chaos around them. The way the missing‑woman case merged with the robbery investigation worked really well, adding tension without overshadowing the emotional core. There were a lot of feelings throughout for both men and the children, all clearly written and easy to feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
