The first in (I hope) many mini movie reviews. These are totally random, and could be old, new, or anything in between.... The Mountain Between Us (2017) Idris Elba/Kate Winslet Genre: Drama/Romance TW: plane crash, animal death I enjoyed this a LOT more than I thought I was going to. I bailed on it when...

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 →
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...

Triggers: Domestic abuse See also: A Bridge to Forever by N. Dune I wasn't going to read this series, as I find the whole subject of domestic violence incredibly upsetting, but this is a great start to the three book series. Lou is an engaging character, who bravely makes the decision to run from her... Continue Reading →
I wish, I wish, there was a way of bottling Tirza Schaefer's feel-good, lusciously romantic, spiritual and sexy stories into a a magic tonic. We could take it every time we felt bad, and the world would be a much better place, I swear. You cannot be a cynic if you love Tirza's books. They... Continue Reading →
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 →
Part of the Bondi Bears series, this is a standalone novel of extremely high quality. Yes, there is a LOT of sex, but to counteract it, there is a searing story of half-brothers finding love, acceptance and learning to accept their chaotic childhoods. All through this book I was waiting for the crunch, the one... Continue Reading →
Anyone considering this book would be misguided if they dismissed it as "daddy kink." It's more about two beautiful souls coming to terms with individual grief and taking the first tentative steps towards finding happiness again. The author has created two utterly believable and lovely characters in Rick and Tommy. Cynics can turn around and... Continue Reading →
Dominic Ronove (Dom!) is a badass demon who is very good at his job, giving humans whatever they want for six years before they have to repay the debt, often bloodily and always without mercy. Malik is a cute, intelligent guy who moves across Dom's radar and piques his interest, setting in motion events which... Continue Reading →
This is a super-quick read at 63 pages, which packs a great wallop. Having read Mx. Alex's books before, I know kind of what to expect, and I also trust they represent BDSM correctly and with intimate knowledge. It's a safe feeling, knowing you're reading something that feels authentic. Hats off as well for not... Continue Reading →
Deliciously Dark Romance
