Elle Kennedy has a special place in my heart. The Off-Campus series was my first foray into the sports romance genre and launched my love affair with all things new adult, contemporary and sports team related. Though I’ve since read many more (good and bad) series – it’s still #2 in my mental ‘best of…
I started HelenKay Dimon’s The Talented Mr. Rivers because the blurb reminded me of Anne Stuart’s Ice series. Vulnerable innocent paired with a dangerous man who’s hiding far more than he shows… sounded like catnip, and the M/M factor sealed the deal. My first mistake was to have thought of the Ice series, with its…
They say never judge a book by its cover, but the cover is why I picked out The Cottage on Pumpkin and Vine. I love all things autumnal, and I can’t recall seeing another romance that focuses around Halloween. This collection of three novellas centers around Rose Cottage Bed and Breakfast and its somewhat mystical…
Cora Benning’s hot online sex life collides with her shy and introverted real life as an IT consultant when she is nearly victimized as a result of a security breach in the game where she plays out her fantasies.

OMG. How many ways could this latest book from Alexis Hall have put me off—and yet somehow didn’t? Why did I give this an A in spite of the many hot buttons it pushed for me? Let me explain. This will have to be personal, since my shifting reactions to the book were intensely personal….
This is a sweet, gentle romance and in my opinion an important book. For those of us who have gone before. Your stories will not be forgotten. Wyatt’s mother is in failing health due to Alzheimer’s, so he, his sister and her fiancé are moving her into an apartment. They hope it will be easier…
I’m still so very thrilled about this new series by one of my favourite authors. Kris Ripper totally won me over with zir Scientific Method series – so far so that ze is now an auto-buy author for me. I already loved the first book in zir new Queers of La Vista series, Gays of…
One of my favourite contemporary queer novels, Into This River I Drown definitely covers the big subjects – life, the universe (literally), death, grief, redemption and love. One of the themes – the bond between a beloved father and his son – is presented as an exquisite and eternal one, however, Benji has to learn…
His Royal Favorite is the second book in the duology that began with His Royal Secret. As it’s a direct sequel, it’s advisable to have read the first book before embarking upon this one, and also means that there are going to be spoilers for His Royal Secret in this review. The story in His…
After I DIK’d My Life Next Door by this author, I immediately went after her other books. Happily, What I Thought Was True possesses much of what I enjoyed reading that book, including a strong setting, likeable protagonists, and an intense story without teen drama. In some ways, like its respectful portrayal of a sexually…
