I came across SALT MAGIC SKIN MAGIC by Lee Welch on my Twitter feed. I will freely admit I’m not a voracious reader of Victorian-era m/m romance novels, but this one had an added paranormal fantasy element and my curiosity was piqued. I wasn’t disappointed. Overall, I loved the eerie atmosphere of the estate and …
I stumbled upon Hailey Turner’s Soulbound series purely by chance. It was book 3 that caught my attention first, but I took the time to read from the beginning and I’m glad I did, especially since I can’t say no a redhaired mage. I love a good flawed character and Patrick is certainly that. All …

I stumbled upon Hailey Turner’s Soulbound series purely by chance. I wasn’t in the market for an urban fantasy/paranormal read, but I’m not one to say no to a redhaired mage and am I glad I didn’t. I devoured the first book in the series and jumped on the follow-up fully expecting more mischief and …

It was the cover of Allison Temple’s COLD PRESSED that caught my attention. Bearded, long-haired hipsters are my thing right now. COLD PRESSED is book 2 in the new-to-me Seacroft Stories series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Oliver, the former lawyer, and Nick, the former firefighter, have a lot going on individually: one has a …
“Two men. One dangerous planet. To survive they need to trust each other.” I was in after that logline and Hanna Dare’s BLACK SKY MORNING (Mind + Machine #3) did not disappoint. Hardcore science fiction fans may find this novel underwhelming—it is a romance first and foremost—but I enjoyed the lighter science fiction backdrop and …
ILLUMINED SHADOWS by G.R. Lyons was a tough read, because there was great writing and well-developed characters, but a troublesome need to suspend my disbelief. The writing is very good. Clearly this is an experienced writer who knows how to tell a story. Each character was well-defined and had a great arc. I loved Cam …

L.J Hayward’s WHERE DEATH MEETS THE DEVIL is the first in a new-to-me series that includes two novels and three novellas. If you know me, you know I‘m a sucker for m/m suspense/thriller/mystery written in Third Person with or without romantic elements. Add assassins, and I’m in. Hayward’s WHERE DEATH MEETS THE DEVIL has a …
Two of my advance reviews have arrived, and I am so thrilled: Sexy, sizzling—and sweet! NL Gassert manages to combine the tenderness of first love with thrilling action in The Protector. The tropical setting on Guam is fresh and beautifully evoked, and the engaging characters of Mason and Soren will keep readers turning the pages, …
