It’s a sweet love story, between two men who finally figure out how to give each other what they need.
House Rules - Cari Z The story was too short to understand the characters, not to mention the two heroes spend most of the story apart. It didn’t gel for me.
The harder they fall - Lisa Henry, Heidi Belleau Holy cow! Hot and powerful. Great story about the Daddy/little boy kink (to the extent that the boy’s hole is called a pussy). It’s well done and engrossing.
CTRL Me - Anna Zabo Sweet story between two coworkers who become friends then lovers. Their kinks complement each other perfectly.

A guy with low self-esteem after after a shitty relationship with his ex-boyfriend and Dom, and an unapologetic Dom and sadist. They’ve got chemistry in common, but not kink. I really enjoyed how this story unfolded. Not too much angst, adult conversations, and a resolution that felt authentic for both men. Plus the title is awesome.

Loved this story. Watching Romy recover from recent trauma and other horrors in his life, seeing his strength and determination, was amazing. Brendan Loved this story. Watching Romy recover from recent trauma and other horrors in his life, seeing his strength and determination, was amazing. Brendan is so much more than an ex-football player.

Faron is almost too good to be true. Everyone should have their own Faron. Trigger warning if you have depression and/or anxiety - I do and I was crying for the last half of the book. A good cry.

The chemistry between Robin and Patrick is smoking hot.
Dirty thirty (r Nov 5/16) This one was a re-read for me. I read the original some years ago, so can't comment of what changes/updates Ms. McKenna made for this second edition. I can tell you that this is such a filthy, hot, sexy read, with such good characters. This definitely goes on my favourites shelf.
Brazen (r Nov 5/16) Hm. Not a romance, no HEA or HFN. The tone is melancholy. The kink interesting, clearly a way for her to exert control at all times. It felt like this was the middle of a story.
Don’t call her angel (r Nov 6/16) Different in a refreshing way. These are fully drawn characters, with complex desires and deep love and respect for each other. None are exactly what they seem on the outside. I really enjoyed this one.
Ready and willing (r Nov 6/16) Definitely not a traditional romance. And I really liked how the story evolved, how their situation changed. The ending is a very nice HFN, leaves a warm, hopeful feeling.

The main characters are opposites attract, and fit together very well. I like the premise of a big sub and smaller Dom. Where it didn't work for me is the plot - there wasn't enough conflict. They went from meeting to fucking to I love you, which is fine, but not very exciting. There were hints that the big issue between them was going to be Donovan feeling inferior compared to his smart, rich boyfriend. But that never manifested much.

Ms. Charles is an amazing writer. Clem and Rowley are great heroes. But they were overwhelmed by the number if issues each man had and the mystery. I feel that the story would have been enough with Clem, Rowley and the mystery. Having Clem also have issues (on the spectrum?) was just too much. Or maybe it was just emphasized too much. Ah well, it’s well written and the suspense was quite exciting. I also learned more than I ever wanted to know about Victorian era animal preservationists (taxidermists)…
