This book is wackadoodle! It is geeky, like comic-books-r-us geeky, and really endearing. Rounding up to 4 stars because this book was super original and I throughly enjoyed it.
This book is NOT like Hot Head. Just throwing that out there. It ties into Damon's other book that came out recently, Horn Gate, which silly old me didn't realize until like 3/4 of the way through the book. Interestingly, it is sort of a fictional story of how the characters of "Horn Gate" were created. It made me want to go back and re-read "Horn Gate" to see if I like it more now.
This book is written in a frenetic, almost manic fashion. It seemed like it was busting with ideas and couldn't wait to get them all out on the page. It reminded me a little of Damon himself, full of life and energy. I mean all of these things as a complement, despite how it might sound. It was a interesting, engaging book that kept me reading until late last night. My only issue with the writing style is that I sometimes had trouble figuring out who was talking. I would think it was one character until three sentences later, when I realized it was the opposite character talking. It was odd, I'm not sure why it kept happening to me.(**So I figured out that this was a formatting issue on my galley copy. I looked at the same book in PDF form and I found it was MUCH easier to follow the conversation. Hence, upping my rating to a solid 4 stars**) And I have never, never read so many euphemisms for penis. There must have been at least 15 or 20! Edu-ma-cate me Damon!
This book is lovely in that it explores characters that are a bit unconventional. They are all extremely quirky, even the supporting cast. Each felt like they were based on actual people because they felt so unique and real. Out of the main characters, I loved Silas most of all. I loved his unabashed sexuality and his unique take on things. He was wonderful. I liked Trip too, but I had some trouble with his character at the conclusion of the story. I left the book feeling anti-Trip, which actually knocked my rating down a bit at the end.
I'm really excited to move on with this series. I'd say a job well done, Mr. Suede!
And it is totally true what they say in this book, a hot mensch is very hard to find!

This book was angstyI think I'm going to have to add Rowan Speedwell to my "auto-buy" author's shelf. Her work has been consistently fabulous for me. This book was angsty, interesting, and really well researched. Job well done, Ms. Speedwell!
Let me just start by saying that I LOVED, loved Miles. Geeky, awkward, sexy, smart- Rowan, are you reading my mind!? I wanted to alternatively save and bang Miles. Sure, he is riddled with issues and has enough emotional and psychological problems to fill a textbook, but I kind of wanted to steal him anyway. As a character, he was meticulously thought out and consistently depicted through the entire story. He was awesome.
Adam grew on me but I had a harder time "getting" him as a character. I feel like I got a good sense for him in the end but it took a while.
The secondary characters were brilliant for me. The sister was just perfect. Not harpy, really relatable, and a great female character in an M/M. Doug and Bobby were... just loved. I really liked how their relationship with Miles was so complex. I got it, and I got how it affected each of them individually.
Guys, if you like rocker romances, for sure buy this book. Even if you don't, like me, this book is a total winner thanks to Rowan Speedwell's fabulous skills.

This book was a prequel to Giving an Inch, establishing the relationship between James and the professor. While I was leery of the whole professor/student thing, I just decided to throw my nagging morality out the window for this one. And I'm so glad I did because I was then able to appreciate the off-the-charts sexiness of this story.
I loved seeing how the relationship between James and Professor Carson was established and learning a bit of back story about James. It really does add layers to a story that could have been simply porn without plot. The back and forth that James went through in his mind before he sort of gave in to his desires was really well done. I got a true sense for these two characters. My only issue is that I wanted so much more. I wanted this book to be more like a full length novel (stop making us wait, ladies!!). But I think the wait between installments will be well worth it.
And did I mention that the professor has a Scottish accent? And I thought this book couldn't get any sexier....more

Where is this place and hoIs it just me or is Hart's Island like the gay mecca? I mean, every non-coupled person that Cassidy sees ends up being gay! Where is this place and how soon can I visit?
"At Piper's Point" was an adorable, light romance from Ethan Day. My favorite part of this book I think was the humor. I found myself reading with such a big smile on my face that my mouth starting hurting from grinning too widely. It is just such a fun book.
"Jesus," Nate said, throwing his hands in the air as he stared Neil down. "You don't even know his last name!" Nate turned to Cassidy. "Is this Piper's Point or Dante's Cove?"
"Mel-ho's Place!" Ollie yelled, his smile fading as Nate glared, letting him know this might not be the best time to play Who's the Queen of Pop culture?"
But between all of the humor, some actual important stuff snuck in. This book is about first loves, when it comes down to it. It is about how Nate and Cassidy deal with discovering that not everything between them is as idealized as it was in their minds. They each have their own baggage and issues to work through, and the book takes us on that journey with them.
The characters also really worked for me. I liked how Cassidy was apologetically handsome and... promiscuous, let's say. He was who he was in all of his slutty glory. It is also easy to love Ollie (he gets all the good lines!) and the friendship dynamic between all of the guys. It was fun watching these guys have fun. I felt like I was in on the party!
What didn't work for me as much was the amount of time spend on Cassidy and Nate, just the two of them. I think their current relationship felt a little underdeveloped and pushed aside to focus on other things, like Cassidy's relationship with Sadie. I wanted more... something... with Cassidy and Nate.
Oh, and just a side note, in this book they reference, "hot boxing" which Nate says is when you inhale smoke and blow it into someone else's mouth. This isn't what hot boxing is. Hot boxing is when you smoke in a small space and the air fills up with smoke so everyone gets high from fumes. A "shotgun" is when you blow smoke into someone else's mouth. Urban dictionary needed, Ethan Day.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was just what I needed.

This was alien/sci-fi/growly-mate/captive-human smut. Now that sounds amazing to me! I love all of those things. However, this was like the bad, ugly cousin of sci-fi erotica- It looked so good from far away but when I got close, it had a unibrow and food between its teeth.
Honestly, I just didn't get it. The characters, the writing... it didn't make sense to me. Tyion is a kidnapped human slave, but then he magically falls in love with his master after like five seconds. He oddly barely seems afraid of these humongous aliens and, even stranger, everyone speaks English. There are so many issues that I had with the plot it isn't even funny. I'm too exasperated to go into them all. The writing is all like this:

Whew!! Is it hot in here or is it just me??? Heidi Belleau and Amelia C. Gormely turned up the heat with this one!
This book was about mind games, pure and simple. It is about the struggle between maintaining control vs the desire to submit to another person, fully and completely. I found it to be incredibly erotic.
I happen to be in the camp that believes that reading dirty talking is hotter than reading actual sex on page. In this case, it was dirty text messages but it accomplished the same thing. Talking about what could happen or would happen was glasses-fogging, smoking hot erotica.
I'm super excited for this series and to read more by these authors. A great entry for my GayRomLit reading challenge and a fab novella! ...more

This book worked for me and it worked for me so, so well! After seeing some of the reviews from other readers, I have figured out why I have such a strongly positive reaction to this book and why some others don't. My response to this book is similar to how I felt about The Truth about Riley. In both books, the MCs have so much to overcome to get to the "love" stage. They have scars, both internal and external, and have to really fight to make their relationship work. I loved the long, drawn-out courtships and the difficult journey to get to the happy endings. That type of book works very well for me. With this book. I felt like Cedric and Kevin really earned each step in their relationship.
I'll talk a little bit about what I loved about this book. Oddly, I liked best all of the intricate details of Cedric's OCD behavior. I loved the amount of research that the author took into really finding out how the mind of an obsessive-compulsive germaphobe worked. It felt incredibly real and incredibly heart-breaking. In one scene, Cedric vigorously and repeatedly cleans the areas that Kevin touched while he was at his house as soon as Kevin leaves. I actually cried after reading it because I got such a sense of the dichotomy of that scene- Cedric was the happiest and the closest to intimacy that he had ever been in his life but he still couldn't get out of the strangling hold of his OCD to enjoy the moment... and it killed him. Those type of scenes rang so true to me. I ate them up.
I even enjoyed the incredibly awkward and frustrating sex scenes. If Cedric (and the book) had skipped over the details of the before-sex-prep and the tension of those moments, I would have been really disappointed. I was dying to know how Cedric and Kevin would manage it all. I loved the combo of lust and struggle... it really grabbed me as a reader. How Taylor still managed to make these scenes hot is beyond me! Bravo!
I honestly enjoyed this entire book immensely. I can't even pick out favorite scenes and moments because I would just want to re-cap the whole story. My only quibble is that I would have liked to see more of how they worked out their sexual issues at the end. I would have liked to see the progression of them in the bedroom and find out how it all played out. I also would have loved to see the struggle and issues that would have come up if Kevin mentioned (view spoiler)[Cedric bottoming... because I know Kevin was interested in trying to top. I would have liked to see the discussion and maybe them trying to work something out. (hide spoiler)]. I could actually see this book having a sequel- and I would love it! This type of complex couple... I don't think I could ever get tired of reading about them! ...more

Wow! Heidi Belleau produced such a super hot, interesting, out-of-the box story! Very nicely done, Heidi. I really enjoyed this but I had some issues that prevented this from being a home run for me.
Let's start with the positives about this story. I love that this book has both a minority character and a guy who is gender-questioning. In the land of macho men (aka, M/M romance-ville), the character of Rob really stood out. No muscle flexing and heavy lifting here, folks! Rob is quiet and geeky and very loveable. I found him also to be relatable, which surprised the hell out of me, considering I'm a trans-cis-whatever newbie. I also loved the character of Dylan, who also has some of his own inner conflicts related to his Native heritage but white upbringing.
You really see the issues at play in this book, the characters asking themselves who they are and what makes them "them". From a philosophical point of view, I appreciated this book whole-heartedly.
So what's my problem? My main issue is with the romance in this book. I felt that Dylan and Rob moved waaaaaayyyyy too fast from like or attraction into love. Like I was barely getting the sense for the two of them as a couple and they were speaking about forever. I think the "love" aspect really came out of nowhere. It was too much to soon for me. I think that Dylan and Rob DO happen to make a great match, but it just felt super rushed and I was scratching my head as to how all of these heavy emotions came about.
My other little issues (and please don't think I'm an insensitive meanie for what I'm about to say) is that this book came across to be a little... informative at times. I understand that the whole gender questioning issue needs to be explained very well but a huge portion (really the entire book) is Rob's journey with figuring out who he is. I wasn't expecting that. I wanted more of a romance story and instead I feel like I got a lesson on what it means to be on the atypical side of the gender spectrum. It just didn't quite fit my mood.
I have to say that that last sex scene was SCORCHING, though. When Heidi writes her sex scenes, my kindle is always on fire!

Readers, my advice to you is push yourself through the first chapter or two of this book. I really disliked this one when I started read**3.75 stars**
Readers, my advice to you is push yourself through the first chapter or two of this book. I really disliked this one when I started reading it. The style and word choices are very simplistic and almost amateurish feeling, which totally put me off in the beginning. Also, the set-up seemed like a bad soap opera. I kind of just wanted to put this one down. However, in the back of my mind I reminded myself that so so many of my friends loved this one, so I decided to persevere. I'm really happy that I did because this story nearly brought me to tears with all of the feelz.
If I had to describe this book in one word it would be "genuine". It just felt so real to me. Though it isn't the most polished book that I have ever read, it felt really raw and honest. The further that I read in this book, the more I found myself unable to put it down. That is truly the best way to judge a successful story, in my opinion.
I did have a few pet peeves about Riley.
Sadly, I've been called many things in my life, but smart without the ass suffix was rarely one of them.
Yes, Riley, we know.
::sigh:: Honestly, Riley does one dumb, self-absorbed thing after another in this book. I liked him and I connected with him but I wanted him to get an f-ing clue most of the time. He walked around with his head up his butt for the majority of the story.
Jason was a fabulous character and I fell hard for him. I even didn't mind Eric and thought the whole triangle thing was handled as well as it could have been.
Well, I'll tell you one thing, this book makes me want to read more of this author. I'm excited to see how else he can twist my heart.

On the one hand, I left the story thinking that Kate McMurray is a really excellent writer. I got an immediate sense for these characters, these childhood best friends, and the atmosphere of the story. I liked the way the author wove in the flashbacks and kept up the pace of the book. It held my interest the entire time. I also loved the secondary characters, perhaps more than the main characters... which leads me to one of my main issue with this book:
I'm still mad as hell at Adam.
I felt pissed at him for the majority of this story. I just felt like Jake forgave him way, way too easily. I felt hurt and angry about how selfish Adam was when he took off, and I couldn't wrap my brain around how Jake could forgive him without excessive, excessive grovelling.
I also had some problems with the current relationship between Jake and Adam. You know there are some couples who are on and off, but you are rooting so hard for them because you know that they are meant to be together? Adam and Jake were not like that for me. They seemed like two completely different people in two completely different places in their lives. It felt forced and awkward for most of the story. There was a lot of arguing and back and forth. I would have much, much preferred it if they tried to make it work and then realized that they didn't work as a couple after all. I was rooting for another main character to step in, actually.
When it comes down to it, I wasn't sold on the "love" that Adam and Jake had for each other. I can sort of see why Jake was infatuated with Adam when they were younger (well, kind of, because Adam used to be a surly douche) but they hadn't seen each other in 5 years. When they did get together again, most of what I felt was palpable tension. I'm not quite sure how that translated into love for these two guys. It felt more like nostalgia than love to me.
So why did I give this book even 3 stars? It comes down to the fact that much of my reasons for not loving this story were emotional, personal hangups. I can easily see how someone else could come in and adore this book. Also, I think that the author had to be doing something very right to get me to feel so much emotion, good or bad, about the characters.

This was a very lovely romance from my new favorite woman, Marie Sexton. I didn't love Cole and Jonathan together at first and I wasn't sure how she wThis was a very lovely romance from my new favorite woman, Marie Sexton. I didn't love Cole and Jonathan together at first and I wasn't sure how she would turn this book around. Slowly but surely, I fell for these characters and saw what all the fuss was about.
Now did I love this as much as Promises? No, no, no... sorry, for me they aren't even close. I think part of that has to do with the fact that I have a weakness (with a capital W) for gay first-timers and out-for-you themes. I also had a little bit of trouble connecting with Cole and Jonathan. They are both so closed off and emotionally distant that it took me a lot longer to warm up to them than it did with Matt and Jared. I also think that this book could have been a wee bit smuttier for my taste.
However, was this book beautiful and skillfully written? Absolutely. It, like "Promises", kept me up late into the night. I love the way Marie Sexton writes first person POV and creates electric chemistry. All in all a very sweet, romantic read. ...more

Aliens, naughty backroom boutiques, and the possibility of tail sex! What's not to like? Apparently, many things.
This book was fluffy to the extreme. Insta-love (they knew nothing about each other- nothing!), schmaltzy writing, rapid POV shifts from paragraph to paragraph (sometimes sentence to sentence!), and a alien plot with absolutely no back story... to say I was disappointed is a vast understatement.
At first I thought it was cute and kind of went with it, but then I grew annoyed with the style and characters. Everything just barely skimmed the surface, there was nothing deeper. And, though it was only 100 pages, I found myself growing bored by the end.
I've lusted after this book for a long time. I mean that cover! That title! Oh god, that title is so esoteric and cool. I just wanted this book so badI've lusted after this book for a long time. I mean that cover! That title! Oh god, that title is so esoteric and cool. I just wanted this book so badly. I wanted to caress it and squeeze it. Oh and read it, that too...
But in my haste to get this pretty little book, I neglected to read the blurb and the comments about this one from my friends. I had a vague sense that it would be fantasy but I thought it would be more paranormal for some reason. It is not. This book is fantasy-horror and is more glbt than just strictly an m/m story. It is funky, queer fantasy for the adventurous reader. Now, I am not a horror reader, nor am I a high fantasy reader, but I decided to stick with it because it has only great reviews from people that I trust.
So what are my thoughts on this one? I'm giving this book 4 stars because I enjoyed it about 3 stars worth but I thought that it deserved five stars. It is beautifully, magically written with inventive protagonists and an interesting world. This book feels almost southern gothic to me with its queer characters and a kind of mythical, religious-tinged, voodoo sort of vibe. I found it to be a really special read.
However... I didn't love this book in equal proportions to its level of quality. I often have trouble with fantasy books in that it takes me a long time to "get" the world. I had that trouble here. I also didn't connect to the characters on a personal level. I felt detached the entire time and, because this book has horror elements, cringing as to what may be coming next. What can I say, I don't like so much death in my leisure reading!
My conclusion about this book is that if you like beautifully executed fantasy, please give this book a try. If you are squeamish like me, you might want to read a different Arvin book.

This was a really cute book by new-to-me author Madison Parker. It had some things in it that I really enjoyed but a lot that also bugged me.
The good 1) I really liked the character of Alex, as unrealistic as he might be. He was so self assured and so well adjusted that I had a weee bit of trouble believing that he was real high-schooler. I still fell for him, nevertheless. 2) That passion that Lucas had for his music. I'm happy that he pursued it, despite the issues that he had with bullying at school. 3) The earnest tone of the story. It felt sweet and age appropriate. 4) The character of Trish, even though she was overly pushy at times.
The not-so-good 1) The Hallmark-movie-of-the-week characters. It felt like some of these characters were "types", which bothered me. 2) The character of Lucas. Over-the-top naive and almost childish seeming. I thought he needed way more evolution as a character. 3) The brother. He bugged me and I didn't warm to him, even in the end. 4) The rushed I-love-yous. A huge pet peeve of mine in any story. Date for more than, like a minute before you say I love you!! Come on!
What didn't bother me that other people didn't like 1) The (view spoiler)[BDSM twist with Zach's ex-boyfriend (hide spoiler)]. Why didn't this bother me? Well, I actually didn't think it was that unrealistic. I remember myself at 18. I went from (view spoiler)[virginal girl to doing all sorts of freaky-deaky things in 6 months flat with my first boyfriend. Totally my idea. I'm not a BDSM girl but I can even recall some power-plays at that age. My tastes haven't changed much so I wouldn't think it would be so far off to have a guy who likes control, like control at 17. Just saying... (hide spoiler)] 2) The character of Donovan. I think there is a lot more to him that is left to be explored. I would have liked to read more about his history, and find out who his ex is.
All in all, this was pretty enjoyable for me. I think I'll read a lot more of Madison Parker in the future. ...more

This was a very sweet romance by new-to-me author Andrew Grey. It has a lot of stuff in it that I usually enjoy. Cowboys? Check! BDSM? Check! Believable romance? Check? So why didn't I adore this one? I think it comes down to the fact that it felt sort of wishy-washy to me at times. There were whole plot elements that sort of faded out or were ignored that I wanted answers to.
1) The BDSM element of the story. I actually had no clue from the blurb that this book would have anything but vanilla sex in it. I was pretty surprised when it got all dom-y and sub-y in the first sex scene. I like kinky romances but this one was odd in that it started off BDSM-y and then sort of petered out to regular sex over time. Why even introduce the whole "Don't move your hands or I leave" kind of talk? This book would have worked better to me with just a regular sex-life. It was both not enough and also too little BDSM for my taste. Go there hard or not at all.
2) The details that were introduced and then forgotten about. Ryan comes over in the beginning of the book to sort through a box of stocks and old papers to see if there is anything worthwhile in Dante's grandfather's estate. He finds an old certificate that seems different than the other ones, and when it comes up later, Ryan mentions casually that it is worth something but then it is never addressed again. One of the major focuses in this book is money, so this plot element seems like it would have been pretty important. Why wasn't it fleshed out? It felt incomplete. There were other things like this: Characters that were introduced and then sort of ignored, scenes that happened that seemed to not further the story at all. I think some of these elements could have been edited out.
Despite my gripes, when it comes down to it, this is a very pleasant story to read. I enjoyed the lightness of the story (not too angsty, sort of easy-breezy), and the easy-to-love characters. Will this be a favorite of mine to return to? Certainly not, but it was sweet and money well spent. ...more

However, I honestly couldn't tell what fan-dom it was from and so I didn't mind that it was published.
For some reason, I have been lusting after this book forever. It is kind of inexplicable. I mean, why this one? I think the cover got me interested and I loved the idea of a grandma knowing her grandson was gay before he did. Super cute, right?
So I bought it. And this book is adorable. Just fluffy marshmallow fluff with some whipped cream on top. I loved the easy, breezy sexiness of it. It felt happy and light, just what I needed.
Yes, the writing is a bit clunky and awkward at times, but you know what- I didn't care! I got my sweet, lovable GFY story and I'm a happy camper. ...more

By now I have read many L.A. Witt books and I tend to enjoy themI am SO not going to be in the popular camp here but this book didn't do much for me.
By now I have read many L.A. Witt books and I tend to enjoy them. This, however, was a miss for my tastes. I don't read much menage and it takes extra effort to make a menage-relationship seem real and workable to me. When it comes to menages, I'm a skeptic. Here, the issues that I had were not related to the menage aspect but were more stylistic fails.
Things that didn't work for me: 1) POV changes from chapter to chapter, all written in first person POV. Um, confusing much? I honestly had a lot of trouble telling Angel and Dante's voices apart. They kind of blurred together and I found myself saying, "Wait, is this the one that only tops?" and "Is this the one that doesn't like dogs?" I just didn't like the POV changes and it bothered me for the whole book.
2) The sex content. I don't say this often but there was too much sex in this book for me. You know that Seinfeld where they talk about how naked vacuuming isn't sexy? Like taking something sexy (like being naked) and doing it so often and in strange settings that it becomes unsexy? "Bad naked"? The sex content in this book was so repetitive and so often, that it kind of went "bad sexy" for me. The sex became my naked vacuuming. At first it was hot and then it kind of became... not.
3) The way that the guys treated Eli. Honestly, I just felt bad for him. Everyone was such a dick to him and acted like such arrogant rub-it-in-your-face jerks that it became distasteful for me.
4) The BSDM content. Maybe I'm just a jaded old kinky lady but I found the BDSM aspect of this book to be kind of... mundane.
The positives are that I didn't hate it and I can see how some people would really get into this one (most of my friends LOVE this!) but it just was kind of okay for me. ...more
