I should have done this review WEEKS ago, as it was the first book I read in 2023. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much. Muscular cowboys, a cute cabin, Montana in the winter, lost in a storm; yeah, I'll take it. The tropes were on point for a gloomy January and I wasn't expecting... Continue Reading →
Review – To the Moon and Back by N.R. Walker
I have no idea why I chose this. Anything with children on the cover usually sends me screaming for the hills. Been there, done that. I don’t want my romance reading to be cock-blocked by demanding kids, thank you very much. But I did, and here we are. And… I didn’t hate it. Why? Because... Continue Reading →
Review – All The Battles We Surrender by Garry Michael
Establishing Garry Michael as one of my go-to authors for #ownvoices MM romance, this story is a heartbreaker, albeit it one with a good ending. The likeable characters, Jace and Sawyer, are married but estranged after Sawyer’s desire to continue another three years medical training curtails their plans to move to Alaska. Jace has moved...

Review – Far From Neverland by Rylee Hale
I'm gonna say it... TAKE ME TO CHURCH! You know if I start with that, the book I'm reviewing is super hot. If you didn't before, you do now. I have a special affinity with Peter Pan. The book was always my go-to as a child during a turbulent upbringing, and I still have the... Continue Reading →
Review – Ipso Facto ILU by Hudson Lin
This third tale in the Coffee House Shorts series is the tale of two nerds, and I say that in the nicest possible way. Brandon and Jonny are made for yaoi anime love stories - honestly. They are super cute, but smart too. Not just smart because the author tells us they are, but they... Continue Reading →
Review – A Little Christmas: Sawyer by R.A. Frick
I think it's worth saying the Little/Daddy dynamic isn't my thing. So why did I read it? The Die Hard plot, of course! I mean, come on, wouldn't you be curious? I read different kinks all the time and remain unfazed by most things, though the big fat exceptions are non-con, illegal, scatalogical and abusive.... Continue Reading →
Review – Soulmates by B.J. Smyth
This is the first of my 2023 reviews, and it has started with a bang. Lots of banging, actually, as David and Bradley are a very lusty pair. This review is for the complete series, which is available as one book. I'll be absolutely honest, it was a fun read, but after Valencia With Love,... Continue Reading →
Review – Take Me Home by Hudson Lin
This short story (17 pages) is part of the Coffee House Shorts series of sweet MM romances. I chose it because of the cover, which shows two lovely elder gentlemen, and I was intrigued by the story line. Romances involving senior characters are hard to find! Take Me Home is a lovely, cosy read with... Continue Reading →
Review – The Great Santa Showdown by Glenn Quigley
This short story (48 pages) was a cute, funny tale of the search for a new Santa in the cosy village of Yuleboro. Competition is fierce, with the two main competitors battling it out with plenty of ho ho ho-ing and jingling of bells. Gregory and John with their gentle rivalry and growing affection for... Continue Reading →
Review – Let Your Hearts Be Light by Fae Quin
This unabashed MM romance is delightful, and sparkles off the page. It has everything a non-cynical, Christmas-loving, egg-nog glugging, cashmere scarf wearing, relentlessly cheerful, saying Happy Christmas to everybody, Fair Isle sock rocking, winter bunny could ever want. It has a cute dog. It has a cheerful brother with A CHRISTMAS TREE FARM. It has... Continue Reading →
