I loved that each man had found his support system and people that really got him and loved him. I would dearly love to be somewhere where I was appreciated, encouraged and cherished. Can I move to Logan?

Dark and twisted. I liked that I could never tell who was a good guy or bad guy. My perspective and opinion kept changing. I was super-excited to readDark and twisted. I liked that I could never tell who was a good guy or bad guy. My perspective and opinion kept changing. I was super-excited to read the second and third book in the series. Only to realize that there is no mention of these books on Goodreads or Carina press. And the author does not appear to have a website. 😔

Loads of angst in this one. Almost too much for me, it's written well, but made it too heavy to be the escape that I read for. Dev is a wonderful heroLoads of angst in this one.

I loved the dialogue, it is full of slang and felt very authentic.

I had zero expectations, which is the best surprise when the book turns out to be so enjoyable. The story is a bit action/thriller/mystery, shifters and fated mates, with lots of love and very little angst. I was smiling thoroughout and immediately wanted to go buy more of Ms. Talbot’s books. Unfortunately there aren’t more in this series. Yet. I hope there will be more.

So good. The love between Josiah and Ryan is hard fought and hard won. And all the sweeter for it. Both characters had serious challenges just to get So good. The love between Josiah and Ryan is hard fought and hard won. And all the sweeter for it. Both characters had serious challenges just to get through a day, and it was gripping to read about them. This is one of the first times I’ve read about a main character with ADHD, and how it affects their life - both good and bad. It’s quite relevant to my life, and gave me hope as I read it. Ms. Albert’s writing has really grown on me. This story is her best yet.

Ward and Nicholas complement each other nicely, have strong chemistry and both make mistakes, Ward especially. But Ward learns from his mistakes, realizes the inadvertent consequences of his hasty words. I like also how the resolution of Ward’s experiments was handled. The catharsis felt true to the story.

A sweet start to a new series by Ms. Charles. God, I love her writing and the vivid characters she creates. Different, not run-of-the-mil characters. A sweet start to a new series by Ms. Charles. God, I love her writing and the vivid characters she creates. Different, not run-of-the-mil characters. I love that the heroine is a trans male, and both halves of the couple are ace. Such a nice change from the usual. I just really like how she brings different historical events, parts of London and people, to life.

The depiction of Micah’s struggles with ADHD, focus, etc. were realistically depicted. I liked that both Dom and sub needed the other, they both benefited, and wanted to be better people. Tackett, the Dom, is too omniscient, but has just enough flaws to be on this side of realistic. The depth of relationship, the love, caring and kink were all perfectly balanced.
