Blurb: Fans of Heidi Cullinan will devour this scorching new male/male series by Elizabeth Varlet. Behind the Sassy Boyz’s seductive smiles and sinful dance moves are desires that will leave readers breathless.

Fitch Donovan never thought a lap dance could change his life, but from the moment the gorgeous dancer’s lips touch his, his world comes screeching to a halt. No matter how hard he tries, he can’t shake the desire that rocks him to his core. He’s longed for this passion all his life—he just never dreamed he’d find it with another man.

Sharing a soul-shaking kiss with a straight boy is the kind of drama Ansel Becke just doesn’t need. Spotlights aren’t made for two and Ansel prefers to keep things on a one-night-only basis. So when Fitch shows up asking for an encore, Ansel knows he should send his gorgeous ass packing.

Though Ansel tries to pretend that what’s between him and Fitch is far from fabulous, there’s something about the big, burly contractor that makes Ansel’s world sparkle in a way no amount of glitter ever could.

And Fitch will do whatever it takes to convince Ansel that when the thing you need most in the world falls right into your lap, you’d be a fool to let it go.

Reviewer: Aerin

Review: Oh my fu**ing god. I loved this book so much. It makes me sad to think the GFY haters are going to drag this through the pits of hell.

Here’s the thing, I’m not an insensitive jerk who doesn’t understand why GFY is offensive to some people, but Fitch isn’t the man who fucks other men and then continues to say he’s straight. Yes, this is a GFY story since Fitch hasn’t been interested in men before/ but it wasn’t the new-found love for cock and magic sperm that turned him gay or bisexual or whatever else you might think.

Fitch Donovan was enjoying his lesbian sister’s 21st birthday and the love and closeness between the siblings made him easily grant her wishes of a wild night in a gay bar. Fitch’s breath hitched when the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen started performing on the stage. His stomach dropped in shock when he realized the unbearable physical attraction he felt was actually for a man… a very feminine man.

But, a man nonetheless. When his sister talks him into being a good sport and accepting a lap dance from the one person who’s turned Fitch’s head, Fitch’s world as he knows it ceases to exist.

Ansel Becke, a member of Sassy Boyz, is not an ordinary man. He’s a mixture of opposites that should not work together. But the result is a man who’s both strong and yet utterly vulnerable. Ansel is magnetic, unique, fascinating, infuriating. He’s everything Fitch has been looking for in a lover, but not the gender he’s expected to find it with.

What I absolutely loved is the fact that Fitch doesn’t let Ansel’s gender stop him from admitting Ansel is someone important to him. Someone he might be able to be happy with. There’s confusion and a brief emotional struggle as Fitch tries to define his sexuality. He’s not gay because he loves women. He’s not bisexual because he’s never been attracted to men before and he’s not attracted to any other men in the present.

The chemistry between Fitch and Ansel is not based on gender. It is more of an emotional and physical connection with a certain person that isn’t going to be cast aside only because Ansel is a man.

One thing that sets this book apart from any others is the feeling of liquid lightning that shot through my veins while reading the sex scenes, especially the first one. Good god, it was everything I’ve always wanted, needed and secretly hoped for. This wasn’t just another wild fuck.

I could hear protective walls being knocked down, could see new emotions and connections being born (fragile and unwanted but strong enough to survive). I could sense super nova explosions and all that poetic shit you can think of. But mostly I could see two human beings connecting emotionally and spiritually.

Fitch was a very intense lover who managed to turn tough boy Ansel into a vulnerable and utterly beautiful person. But let’s not forget about how filthy, hot and dirty this emotional sex was, because that’s just as important!!!

There’s the potential for a lot of angst because Ansel’s personal struggles run deeper than we see on the surface, and yet this book wasn’t too angsty. It was not a fluffy story, in the least. But it definitely didn’t reach its potential when it came to the angst. To me, it was perfect!

This is an amazing book, whose characters and the intensity between them truly sets it apart from other in its genre. I can’t wait for the next books in this series, because I’m looking forward to the rest of Sassy Boyz’s members finding their HEA.

Blurb: Families, Zeke knows, are complicated… and shapeshifter families are a whole other ball of catnip. Ten months ago, Zeke went off the Schuyler clan radar, determined to live a painless life of luxury as a housecat. It was a fantastic decision: his human, Toby, feeds him, cuddles him, and loves him with all the simple devotion he could ever want. Sure, he sometimes feels the desire to know Toby on a real, human basis, but it’s squashed by terror and inertia.

But Zeke isn’t the only one with a complicated family. A break-in heralds the end of Zeke’s fantasy life and throws him headlong into a new drama. Toby’s family is from the sea, where conflict is resolved a little differently. Zeke will have to use all his feline cunning to get him and Toby out of this mess safely—and both men will have to confront their fears, their families, and their future.

This was definitely different. Zeke is a witch who turns into a house cat. In fact he has been staying as a house cat. He is living with Toby, who has no clue what Zeke is. However it would seem that Toby has his own secret.

This was a kick and I wouldn’t mind seeing more of these two. For now though it is just too short to get more than just a taste. However for such a short story it does have quite a bit of meat to it. I enjoyed this story and would recommend it.

Although I loved the cover, the name of the story is a bit off.  I don’t remember any raft.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Matthew Miller is a sharpshooter. Jazz has ridden him hard since he arrived and they both seemed to hate each other until one-night Jazz strode into his place he shared with another team mate and asked for a kiss to help him forget his girlfriend that just broke up with him.  This adds a new heat to their relationship that soon becomes much more.

Then one-day tragedy happens and the story takes on a new light as Matthew tries to find Jazz and ends up mixed up on a mission to save a marine where he finds a man that will not give his name. How does saving this man change his life? You must read to see and who is it? If you have already been a fan of this series, you may know, if not I can’t say without spoilers.

I think this is such a poignant story with so much action, drama and romance. I also loved the connection between the guys in the Texas Soul series and this.

I do suggest that you read this series in order; however this one is a lot about Matthew so I think you could follow it if you really wanted to.

If you love lots of drama, military, special ops, men with secrets, and some really hot romance you will love this.

Blurb: Agent Ignacio Ritter is content serving the CXO, the Central Xenomorph Organization, from the safety of his desk. He has good reasons for avoiding fieldwork like the plague: his parents died in the field, leaving him to be raised among wolf-shifters. Because of his adopted family, everyone thinks he is a wolf, a lie that protects him from the ridicule he’d face if he revealed the truth.

When the charming and dangerous tiger-shifter Agent Reed Daily chooses Ignacio to help close the books on a gang threatening to tear Chicago apart, Ignacio can’t refuse. Perhaps it’s the chance to avenge his parents, or perhaps it’s the tight fit of Reed’s suit and heat Reed’s smile ignites in Ignacio. When the chips are down and the whole city’s depending on him, will Ignacio prove himself a man or a mouse?

This is a cute one. Ignacio lives among wolf shifters, works for CXO and does not go into the field. There are first times for everything. However he has a secret that he is worried that will get out. Reed is a tiger and an agent that wants to team up with Ignacio. Won’t he be in for a big surprise, or should I say small.

This was a kick and wouldn’t mind seeing more of these two. For now though it is just too short to get more than just a taste.

Blurb: For paramedic Adam Carson, his world is lights and sirens and saving lives. Pressures at work keep him firmly in the closet, and life is too busy to contend with the complications that come with dating and relationships. When a familiar face from his past turns up where he least expects it, Adam starts to question whether or not there is room in his life for those complications.

The last person forensic pathologist Sam McKenna expects to see at pub night is Adam, the guy who made his life hell in high school. The attraction is instant, but Adam isn’t gay and Sam has no interest in pursuing him. Still, the leftover animosity from their teenage years isn’t enough to extinguish the lust growing between them. After both are called to the scene of a horrific murder, Adam admits he’s not as straight as he led Sam to believe and they seek comfort and distraction in each other’s arms.

One night becomes many as the murder investigation intensifies, but when Adam is faced with losing Sam, he is forced to make a choice: to break his silence, or to give up everything for the job he loves.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is the first book by this author that I have read and let me tell you, that she will be on my auto buy list. Well she will be as long as her stories don’t have girly parts in them. I always did love a man in a uniform. Something so damn sexy about them, even when their uniforms don’t do them justice.

This story just caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. I love how well-rounded the guys and their story was. Although Sam is a bit wimpy in my eyes, he still rocked it. Sam has a crush on an old classmate, but he also hated him with a passion. In school the man did nothing but make it impossible to like him. They shared one friend, and it would seem a jealous streak was showing even then. Sam had not realized though that Adam was only reacting that way because he liked Sam also.

Adam was certain that if he came out gay he would most certainly lose his job. He just had not expected for Sam to end things between them so that Adam could be happy. Too bad it was not working, the man was anything but happy.

Sam his whole life thought that Adam was straight, but to find out that he wasn’t and why he hid, made it a hard decision. Behind doors they rock all night long, but then day light hits and Adam is a scare little boy, who needs to make a decision.

Now I loved this story but there is a big cliff hanger at the end, a teaser of more death. The guys have a dead body, a man in jail and it would seem more questions unanswered. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.

This is one story that will be read more than once.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: This is a cute collection of four short stories. Each is hot, has a sense of humor and fun to read. You can read one at a time for a quick read to fill a short period of time or settle down for the night and enjoy them all at once.

Mud on Tires 

Lee is on the way to town when he spots a cow stuck in the mud. He has no spare clothes so he strips naked and proceeds to try to get her out. Collin is out shopping for land when he spots the cute little cowboy but naked trying to free a cow.

This story was so funny. It’s packed full of animal cuteness with three dogs and of course the stuck cow.  I absolutely loved the hilarious and sexy story.

Just Like in the Movies

Dooley is a washed out rodeo rider that now works as a horse handler in the movies. He meets Ty who is closeted and things heat up for them.  This one is sweet and it goes over a long period of time not an insta love type thing.   There are still the horses and it’s hot.  I really liked it a lot.

Ricochet When Holt decides to leave Dave and the city to go back west to home, Dave begs him to stay. Holt is dead set on leaving and so Dave decides to help him out… the dead part. Teague comes to help drive Holt home and plans to never let his cowboy leave again.

This one starts out with a bit of a shock. I really liked the characters in this story. I liked how after all these years apart they build something solid and find what home really is.

No Bull Joss has been trampled by a bull in Hawaii and in bad shape. His best friend Mackey stays at his side and even takes time off from the circuit to help him heal. Joss realizes he is too old and too tired to ride and travel but doesn’t want to let Mackey down. Mackey has a plan of his own. Can they include each other?

This one is another really cute story. It’s a story of friends, men realizing their dreams and some hot sex too.

All of these stories are really good. If you like cowboys, friends to lovers, and hot mansex you will love these stories.

Someone is killing humans and Malak has figured out that it is a Were that is doing it. Being not only the doctor and coroner, but also a shifter does have its advantages. So he knew what he was seeing. His old friend has come to help him rid the world of their little problem, but the sheriff is having a bit of trouble with it. However he is not having any trouble with Malak. That is if you get my meaning 😉 .

These stories are interesting but they are way too short for anything more than just a taste. I am however not sure of this one, it is a bit creepy. However it does give a new look into the paranormal world. I did like the story but it just wasn’t for me.

Graham and his roping partner, Jackson, have been friends since they were boys. They’ve ruled the rodeo scene for ten years running, but lately, Graham’s heart isn’t in the game. He’s tired of the bruises, the cowboy mentality, and the animal rights activists who picket every event. He’s also tired of being in love with Jackson, and nothing’s been the same between them since their disastrous drunken encounter the year before.

Then Graham has a run-in with one of the rodeo protesters, and everything changes. Kaz is young, idealistic, and sexy as hell. But he’s also a know-it-all, animal-loving vegan, bent on saving the world one cow at a time. They have next to nothing in common, but Graham can’t stop thinking about what might happen if they can stop butting heads long enough to give it a try. Unfortunately, no matter how attracted Graham is to other men, he always panics and runs when the clothes start to come off. But Kaz has an idea for getting Graham past his nerves and into bed.

All they need is a bit of rope.

James Fisher’s memories of Earth are distant, replaced by the harsh realities of life on the planet Castor. As a “Half-Adapt,” James is one of many who were biologically engineered to survive conditions on Castor—and to labor for the benefit of the ruling class. Indentured to servitude, James has no way to defy or escape the severe caste system… until he meets Vidal Centa, his master’s nephew. The draw they feel toward each other is instant, powerful, and maybe even enough to move beyond the unyielding regulations of their society.

But not everyone blindly accepts the absolute power of the oligarchy. The Independence Society fights for freedom and equality, and since James shares in their ideals, he joins their ranks. Soon he’s faced with an impossible decision: continue the fight against the oppressors or choose the love of the young man who embodies everything the Society loathes. With a looming conflict threatening to tear the planet apart, James fears he cannot continue to fight if he wants to keep his relationship with Vidal.

This story was way too short for anything other than a pornographic theme to it. Let’s just say that it was just really strange and totally creepy. For one I don’t like girly parts and this one just works that way. I can say that in my opinion, this one just didn’t do it for me.

I am sorry but this is one story that really didn’t have a true story to it.

Wet Heat

by

R.D. Hero

Most omega werewolves want a mate and pups, but Lee Aung prefers an unconventional party-boy lifestyle. Yet at forty-two, he’s stopped going into heat, which means he’s expired goods—no longer a fertile, young omega that alpha wolves drool over. So Lee uses Wet Heat, a synthetic pheromone, to reel in the alpha hookups.

After losing his job at the bank, Lee can’t afford to keep up his Wet Heat habit. His solution: scam free samples by pretending to be a happily mated test subject at Wet Heat headquarters. There, Lee spends two years being interviewed by the reserved alpha scientist, Cain, who at thirty-two is unmated and—up until this point—content with that.

Cain never really felt his alpha instincts, nor took part in the usual alpha/beta/omega social dynamics. But after discovering that Lee has been lying about his unmated status for two years, Cain finally admits that for the first time, he wants to court an omega. Unfortunately, he’s picked the one omega who doesn’t want to be courted.

(Housemates 03)
by

Jay Northcote

Getting experience with the guy next door seems like a great idea—until the lines blur.

Dev, a geeky first year physics student, has zero sexual experience and he’s determined to change that ASAP. After a bad time in halls of residence, he’s starting the summer term with different housemates and a new plan of action.

Ewan lives in the house next door to Dev. He’s young, free and single, and isn’t looking to change that anytime soon. When awkward circumstances throw them together, Ewan offers to help Dev out in the bedroom in return for maths tutoring, and Dev jumps at the chance.

They work their way through Dev’s sex-to- do list, but what starts as a perfect no- strings arrangement gets more complicated as their feelings for each other begin to grow. If they’re going to turn their lessons in lovemaking into something more permanent, they need to work out how they feel about each other—before they get to the end of Dev’s list.

NB: Although this book is part of a series, it is a complete story with different main characters and can be read as a standalone.

Blurb: Nineteen-year-old college student Levi Reed has spent his life with hollow emotions and a darkness so deep that he’s convinced he’s losing his mind. He’d give anything to feel something, anything, real.

When a mysterious stranger appears, Levi is convinced the man is trying to kill him. When he’s near, Levi experiences head-crushing pain and something surprising—real emotions for the first time. Jeb Monroe is arrogant, self-assured, closed-off, and handsome, but he isn’t the harbinger of doom Levi assumed. Jeb’s mission: help Levi find his missing soul.

Levi is pulled into the secret world of Seers and Keepers, those born with the innate ability to manipulate souls and tasked with balancing the negative energy they can produce. Levi learns he possesses a rare gift, and he’s in danger. As Jeb and Levi grow closer, they discover a group of zealots who want to harness Levi’s power to cleanse the world of damaged souls. Everyone Levi cares for is threatened unless he agrees to become their tool of death. But agreeing could spell the destruction of humankind. With no one to trust and nothing as it appears, it’s up to Levi to save them all.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Levi is a young man with a severe problem. He has panic attacks so strong they are debilitating. I was truly concerned for him when he seemed to have negative or no emotions at all. Jeb was a mystery at first. He seemed so cold and distant until his story is revealed. It was horrifying what happened to him.

All throughout the story I thought I had different things figured out when a twist would suddenly happen and I realized I was wrong. This book takes you on a journey with Levi as he discovers who and what he truly is and just what he’s capable of… all the while trying to stay out of the clutches of a radical righteous group hell-bent on eradicating all seers and keepers from the earth.

I was fascinated with the Seers and Keepers as one removed a soul from a person and the other kept it safe until it was time to be returned. Although this was not as simple as it sounds I was still intrigued by it.

As the story progresses we meet several characters that add to the mystery of Levi’s condition. I was truly impressed with how well the story flowed and the right amount of suspense, action, drama and mystery that had me on the edge of my seat throughout.

I will say a good portion of the first half left me frustrated but I understood the reasoning once everything began to pick up.

This is a wonderful, engaging, well written story that will pull you in until the very end when all is revealed.

Blurb: We’re getting the band back together.

Those five words send a chill down Miki St. John’s spine, especially when they’re spoken with a nearly religious fervor by his brother-in-all-but-blood, Damien Mitchell. However, those words were nothing compared to what Damien says next.

And we’re going on tour.

When Crossroads Gin hits the road, Damien hopes it will draw them closer together. There’s something magical about being on tour, especially when traveling in a van with no roadies, managers, or lovers to act as a buffer. The band is already close, but Damien knows they can be more—brothers of sorts, bound not only by familial ties but by their intense love for music.

As they travel from gig to gig, the band is haunted by past mistakes and personal demons, but they forge on. For Miki, Damie, Forest, and Rafe, the stage is where they all truly come alive, and the music they play is as important to them as the air they breathe.

But those demons and troubles won’t leave them alone, and with every mile under their belts, the band faces its greatest challenge—overcoming their deepest flaws and not killing one another along the way.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This was my first time reading this series, so when I was given this story to read I had to go grab the others. I was pretty damn glad that I had otherwise I would have been lost as hell. Rhys has suddenly become an author that I will be keeping an eye on for future books. I have never really been a fan of stories that involve bands, but only because they just seem to not to click with me as much as they should have. I can honestly say that this is not the case with these stories. Even though there is humor to them, there is more of a serious tone to them that make what has happened to these characters stand out more.

Each of the band members have been through some troublesome times and have slowly came to where they should be when they meet the ones meant for them. They start to heal and grow together as a family and as a band. That doesn’t mean that it will be all roses and sun shines though.

The guys are going to leave their men behind in this one so that they can come together better than they have been. This is more due to Damien pushing them to do this. More to bond with each other better. Even though it has them altogether it is more about Miki. Even though he has been through so much, this will make his relationship stronger with both Damien and Kane. Damien is a kind of adopted brother to Miki. This journey will be bringing up a lot of their past and memories will be heightened. It is a very emotional time for them all.

I actually loved the fact that Kane is a detective and is so protective. This book had more twists and turns that I had not really expected, but loved all the same. The mystery that is inside this amazing story was a great hit also. Which told me that it was a good thing that I had went and read the others, before reading this story otherwise I would have been extremely lost.

The only downside to this story was the ending. I have never really liked cliff hangers or being left with questions so I wanted to smack Rhys by the time I got to it. I found myself loving the guys a bit more after each word. They have their tender and fragile side to them, but they also have the strength to continue to fight not only for themselves but for the ones they love.

I loved how this author created a world that you would swear you were in the whole entire time. It is fully developed and the detail was out of this world. The characters were fresh, vivid and absolutely beautiful. Their emotions were felt all the way to one’s soul. It was a world that I wished I had belonged to.

I absolutely loved this story and can guarantee that you will also. It was a blast to read and I would definitely recommend it. I can’t wait to see what the next story will bring.
