His search is further burdened by Dastyaf, a furious human warlord and liability in the marine realm. But after combing the deep ocean and discovering the dangers it holds, Nils realizes he may need the human more than he thought, to save his mission and himself.

Reviewer: Shorty 

Review: A wonderful tale about a prince who deceives the republic to free the desert dwellers once and for all. Dastyaf is a human warlord, personal protector of Amirzade Sharouk, the prince, and is tasked to work Nills to get the prince back from a powerful leviathan. 

Dastyaf’s takes merman form to be able to track down the Leviathan and struggles to adapt to the new form. Nills and Dastyaf work together to find the creature and get the prince back. 

Such an amazing journey for these two men who have to learn to tolerate each other at first then as the mystery of why the creature took the prince and the ongoing tracking they grow closer. The environment under the sea had an almost mystical quality to it and held me spellbound in its details.

I loved the entire book from start to finish.

Reviewer: Shorty 

Review: Another fantastic addition to the Two Spirits series as everything comes to an epic countdown. I was truly impressed with both Aidan and Murphy and all they have been through and survived.

There was a twist at the end that I never saw coming and it took me by surprise. I love this series so much as it’s more than romance. It has adventure, mystery, suspense and action all rolled into one. I am so looking forward to reading the next book.

Fantastic read. Highly recommended.

(All for Love 02)
by

Nickie Bennett & Ariel Tachna

Aristide, Léandre, and Perrin pledge only three loyalties in life: their king, their captain, and their passion for each other. So when the musketeers discover a plan to accuse M. de Tréville of treason, the initial impulse to kill the messenger, Benoît, is tempered by their need to unmask the plotter. But their first two suspects, the English ambassador and Cardinal Richelieu, prove to be innocent, forcing the musketeers to delve deeper into the inner machinations of the French court.

Meanwhile, Aristide finds himself falling in love with the ill-fated messenger, a blacksmith without a home who rouses all of his protective, possessive instincts. Benoît, however, has no interest in any man. Torn between desire and duty, Aristide must find a way to protect the king and clear his captain’s name—all while heeding the demands of his heart.

Reviewer: Pixie

Blurb: When a demon saves an angel’s life, he wins the chance to stay out of Hell and walk the earthly plane until the End of Days.

Cael wasn’t aware of the loophole when he spared the angel Malak, but he plans to exploit it. All he needs to do to earn his freedom is convince Malak to give up his virginity. Three thousand years should be plenty of time. But Malak isn’t interested—not in having sex with Cael and not in being exiled from Heaven as a result.

Time is running out, and if Cael fails, his punishment will be unspeakable. With only days left, Malak realizes he can’t let that happen—not to the demon he’s come to love.

But the End of Days is coming sooner than either anticipated. Lucifer has found a way to unleash the Four Horseman and end all existence. If Cael and Malak want to stay together, they need to seek out all four Horsemen and stop them from bringing about the Apocalypse.

Review: When Cael saved Malak from the destruction of Sodom he bought himself free time from Hell, as when a demon saves an angel he has a chance at freedom. For nearly 3000 years Cael has tried to tempt Malak into giving in to Cael’s wants and he has only one more year to get Malak to succumb or Cael’s got a hell of a welcome party waiting for him when he returns to Hell. Malak has no intention of giving into Cael but when he learns the truth of Cael’s return to Hell Malak can’t bear the horror that Cael will suffer, he’s grown to love the stupid demon.

Just as Cael and Malak begin to look to their future they get the news that Lucifer has released the Four Horsemen and devastation and destruction are heading Earth’s way, together they are determined to stop the Horsemen and Lucifer’s plans of the End of Days.

This is a great novella of an angel and demon finding love and saving the world. Cael is actually a very likable demon, he might be obsessed with sex but he’s very gentle and teasing towards Malak. Malak is a determined Angel, even with being on Earth for so long he’s never lost sight of his goal of returning to Heaven, Cael makes it hard for him though with his teasing and sexual interest.

Both characters are interesting and we do get little flashbacks to times long gone which gives us some insight into Cael and Malak. Their relationship is rocky to say the least, but it’s passionate and hot. The story then turns around to Cael and Malak stopping the Horsemen from fulfilling their assignments and it’s dangerous, exciting and also very bloody.

The story is really well written and cut up into little books, the first part is all about Cael and Malak’s relationship and then there’s four more books for each of the Horsemen as Cael and Malak vanquish them, they are clearly marked so we don’t suddenly find ourselves wondering ‘what’s going on now?’. The story flows well and the storyline is great, it’s a bit of an easy read and not weighed down with too much detail or unnecessary dialogue.

I recommend this to those readers who love Angel and Demon’s finding love, readers who love a bit of action and danger, who adore great characters and a very happy ending.

Blurb: Beau Bissonet and Tollison Cruz are back, along with Bruce, Auggie, and now Bastien, Tollison’s ex-partner. From the initial spark between them in Zurich, Bruce and Bastien’s attraction has flared, and Bastien has come to the Big Easy to explore what lies ahead for them.

It’s Mardi Gras, and New Orleans is alive and festive, teeming with excited tourists and locals alike. The first few parades go off without a hitch. And then a man is targeted, shot, and killed right in the middle of a crowded street. Auggie and Bruce are called in to investigate, but before they even get started, more deaths occur, one at each of the next two parades. Auggie realizes he’s dealing with a serial killer and jumps into action.

Beau and Tollison join the investigation and stumble upon some similarities in the murders that are too strong to ignore. But before they can unravel the perpetrator’s motives and get ahead of him, he fires another shot that affects the tightly knit group of friends in a way none of them could have ever imagined. Together they must all come up with a plan to stop the killing and serve justice in the process.

Reviewer: Shorty 

Review: Book three in the Bissonet & Cruz Investigations draws the reader into unresolved issues between Tollison and Bastien as well as Bruce and Beau. On top of that there is a killer targeting gay men at Mardi Gras parades. 

The suspense and drama are a match made in heaven in this story. The unresolved issues between the four men start taking its toll on them. Even though there is anger and resentment at times I was glad they all talked at least. I really liked Bruce and Bastien as a couple. Even with Bruce’ uncertainty about the relationship both men deserved happiness after their failed previous relationships. 

The mystery aspect of the book was good. I liked the way the investigation was handled and every lead looked into thoroughly. Auggie, Tollison and Bruce work well together throughout the investigation and have each other’s back. 

This is a fantastic addition to the series. I highly recommend it.

Blurb: A fight to the death against his former master turns into a chance for Rafael, an assassin denied the immortality he lived to achieve, to learn the shocking truth about the fate he was spared.

Rafael wanted nothing more than to serve his immortal master, Xian, a High One of Clare, who taught him from an early age how to be an assassin. But after failing the final test, Rafael was turned out into the Lower City, abandoned by the one person he thought he could count on.

Years of hatred and thoughts of revenge have fueled Rafael’s quest for vengeance, but when the time comes to strike at Xian, he hesitates and is taken prisoner. Rafael expects to die, either at Xian’s hand or at the hand of Myrtea, his sadistic mistress.

Instead Xian heals him, spares him a brutal interrogation and tells him the dark truth driving the ruthlessness of the High Ones—the source of their immortality is spent. Soon the city will devolve into chaos as High Ones battle one another and the rebelling denizens of the Lower City for power and resources. Xian wants to spare Rafael that pain, just as he spared him the pain of becoming a High One a decade earlier.

Their only chance for survival is to escape Clare before civil war breaks out. Even if they make it out of the city, though, there’s no guarantee that Xian will live through the agonizing process of becoming human again. The only ones they can rely on are each other…if Rafael can bring himself to once again trust his former master, the only man he’s ever loved.

Reader Advisory: This book contains mentions of blood-drinking, blood magic, blood-play, knife-play, addiction and withdrawal, as well as flogging and whipping. This book also refers to pain and blood-play as coping mechanisms.

Publisher’s Note: This book has been released elsewhere. It has been revised and re-edited for re-release with Pride Publishing.

Review: Rafeal has been working toward one goal: becoming a high one. He is devastated to learn he failed the final test and even more so when his master and the man he looked up to, Xian, casts him out. He falls back into the one thing he was good at, an assassin.

Revenge motivated Rafeal meets Xian again and instead of killing him is taken prisoner. Xian finally explains his reasons for failing him and also informs him of the dark secrets of the high ones. Intent on escaping the battle coming between the high ones and the lowers Xian and Rafeal plan to leave.

This book is full of great scenes both suspenseful and thoughtful. I loved how the story played out. It was an amazing journey. Xian and Rafeal, despite the rough beginning once they found each other again, were great together in their bid to survive.

Highly recommended.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Dragon Men collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. 

I came across Amber Kell when she published her first book awhile back and never stopped reading them. Most of the time they have their serious tones but there is quite a bit of humor mixed in with them that make them even more fascinating for me. Each story will have danger, excitement, adventure, and a touch of kink to them that will keep your attention the whole time, like it does for me. 

Zeir is the king of his kingdom and is loved by all of his people. Many years ago he had lost his mate or so he thought. He grieved for the man and pretty much stayed in his dragon form. So you can imagine his surprise when a shuttle crashes onto his land and comes across his true mate. A mate that was related to the one he thought was his so many years before. 

Colton is a very sweet and sexy young man who just crashed his pod. Colton’s captain was such an ass and changed his navigation causing them to crash. What Colton had never known was he could shift into his dragon form, he had assumed that since he was half dragon that he didn’t really have one. He is such a cute little golden dragon who could spit fire and ice. Only one that Zeir had ever seen once before, in a man that he had thought was his mate. However things are looking up since King Zeir is his mate.

Now I understand what Colton’s father had done, as Seltin was so young when Zeir had told him they were mates, but it was a coward’s way out. However he was scared to mate someone that wasn’t his mate. Blood calls to them, and as it turns out that it was his son who was Zeir’s true mate, things started to look up for them all.

I would have loved if this story had been a bit longer but it was a damn good story. Very fast paced and kept my attention throughout the whole story. The words just seemed to flow right off the pages and the detail was so perfect for this story. I always did love a good dragon shifter and Amber rocked it.

I love how this author doesn’t let the guys become too much alpha for their mates, making their heart bleed when they are hurt and for kicking their own asses when they hurt their mates. I have always enjoyed reading one of Amber Kell’s stories and I can see that it will not change in the future. I also loved how these men will go to the extremes to protect their mates.

Review: Diego, Beck and Denise are friends but Beck and Denise work for a secret agency. Unable to tell Diego puts a strain on their relationship but they both try to cope the best they can.

I enjoyed the paranormal aspect of this story though it seemed brief at times.

We are given an introduction into Diego’s childhood and glimpses throughout his life. Which was nice to know about him in more detail but I wanted to know about Beck as well.

All in all it was a nice read that was enjoyable if not a bit drawn out at times.

Great read.

Reviewer: Prime

Review: First and foremost: if you have not read the previous books in the series, I highly recommend that you go back and read them before jumping into this installment. Not only so that you can enjoy a thoroughly good series, but also so that you can pick up all the little things that are assumed as already known knowledge throughout the book. A final thing I need to add, if you are opening this book in the hopes of a good romance, you need to be aware that being a DSP Publications book this story is not heavy on the romance.

Now… onto the book, Cougar Chaos. I have to say that this is a great addition to the series, while I don’t love it to bits, I certainly enjoyed it and liked revisiting the world of the recently married couple Wildlife Officer Brock Summers-Weir and wildlife rehabber Landon Weir-Summers. If you’ve followed their relationship from book 1, you know two things for certain about this couple: 1) they love wildlife, and, 2) trouble, involving wildlife, always seems to follow them.

That being said, you can pretty much tell what the set up for the book is going to be. The guys decide to go camping/ hiking for their honeymoon with their dog. Despite the fact that Landon is getting over his injuries, a broken leg, of the previous book. Like seriously, that is these guys to a T. But what ends up happening is that the guys encounter a mountain lion cub that they save, which brings them on a merry chase which is the mystery of this title.

Fairly quick and to the point, this is a fairly enjoyable story, but more what makes it a 4 star book in my eyes is that it is a wonderful addition to the Mountain Spirits series. It fits the development of the characters and the plotline wonderfully.

I’m not sure if there is going to be more to this series, but I would certainly love it if we get to see more of the world of Landon and Brock.

Flying medical supplies around Alaska suits Jake’s wild streak and love of freedom. He’s perfectly content to keep his romantic encounters casual—at least until he meets JD. Something about the nurse makes Jake think settling down might not be such a hardship. Now he just needs to convince JD he’s serious—which won’t be easy, given his past.

For a relationship to stand a chance, JD must testify so he can return to Two Pines as the man he really is—and Jake must grow into the man JD needs him to be.

When interior designer David Snyder buys a beautiful century-old house in eastern Washington, he is reeling with heartbreak and looking for somewhere to put down roots. Unfortunately his new home comes with a laundry list of problems: electrical, plumbing, heating… things David knows nothing about. When his mother offers him the business card of a local handyman, David pictures an overweight, balding man in his fifties. But Jackson Henry couldn’t be further from that stereotype.

Dark-haired, muscular, and handsome, Jackson left a large construction firm in Seattle to take care of his sick mother. However, his hometown still has an active “good old boy” network, and finding employment in construction is almost impossible for an openly gay man. Determined to persevere, Jackson takes odd jobs as a handyman. He’s exactly what David needs—in more ways than one.

David isn’t ready for his attraction to Jackson, not considering the way his last relationship ended. But as the two men get to know each other, it becomes clear that the heart often knows best, and it rewards those willing to listen.

Rented Heart

by

Garrett Leigh

Ex-surfer-turned-businessman Liam Mallaney moved back to Holkham, Norfolk, to mourn the loss of his husband. Grief and loneliness keep him a solitary figure, and he likes it that way. There’s no room in his broken heart for anything else.

Rentboy Zac Payne left London and most of his demons behind, but he still only knows one way to make a living. When he spots Liam in a club one night, it seems he’s found his mark. But Liam proves nicer—and their connection far deeper—than he’d bargained for.

Their arrangement quickly becomes too complicated for Zac, who has other things on his mind: namely his BFF and wayward flatmate, Jamie. Zac owes Jamie the world, and even as Jamie’s drug addiction destroys all they have, Zac won’t leave him behind.

Besides, Liam knows nothing of Zac’s home life, too caught up in his own head to think much beyond the crazy heat he and Zac share. But when trouble comes to Zac’s door, putting his life in danger, Liam must set his grief and anger aside to pick up the pieces of Zac’s shattered heart and his own.

Some wounds never heal. George Zajac grew up in a religious family with a father who beat “the swish” out of him. At thirty-eight he’s a troubled man. Escaping his miserable life as a banker in New York, he moves across the country to start again in Los Angeles as the catering chef for a prestigious French Restaurant. Kenny Marks, a writer who’s currently waiting tables, is everything George cannot be—flamboyant, proud and sexually confident. Enthralled by Kenny, and against his own better judgment, George agrees to a date. Sparks fly. The sex is amazing. But even after the two get close, George is crippled by humiliating sexual hang-ups. Still haunted by his childhood, he lingers in the closet and can’t commit to a relationship with Kenny.

Love is the great healer, but is it enough? George’s emotional scars could drive Kenny away, and with him, George’s last chance at happiness.

**Bread, Salt and Wine was previously published by Loose ID in June 2013, but is being re-released with a fabulous new cover, designed by Jordan Castillo Price.**

Eyes Only For You

by

Andrew Grey

Marcello Bagnini has a history of falling for the wrong men, and it seems he’s done it again. Working out at the gym with his straight friend Jerry is becoming harder by the day—in more ways than one. Worse yet, Jerry isn’t the only one who notices Marcello’s wandering eyes. So instead of risking his friendship with Jerry and alienating the other guys at the gym, Marcello keeps his feelings to himself.

Real estate agent Jerry Foland has never explored his interest in other men, but there’s something different about Marcello, and Jerry’s starting to think he might like to see where his attraction could lead. However, Jerry’s controlling father makes it clear that it’s either stay on the straight and narrow or Jerry can say good-bye to his family.

As much as they try to stay away from each other, their lives overlap, both at the gym and when Jerry is contracted to sell the home of one of Marcello’s friends. Friendship grows into more, but Jerry’s father has his own agenda, and it doesn’t include having a gay son.

Blurb: Ronan Montgomery had built himself a good life; he had friends, a small apartment to call his own, and a fantastic job as a dancer/choreographer. He still missed his mother dearly, but even though she’d been dead five years, he adhered to her number one rule – stay away from other wolves. He knew, as an Omega, that others of his kind weren’t overly friendly with those they considered weak, but as he’d never met another wolf, he didn’t feel he’d anything to worry about. That was, until he spotted two Alpha wolves at one of his performances. Who knew one brief second of eye contact could change his life forever. 

Asaph Bosch was a hard man and proud of it. He’d worked his way up from nothing, building a huge international company. When a random night out threatens all he’s worked for, Asaph fights back. His mate will be a woman, or he won’t have one at all. Unfortunately, his wolf half is just as strong and just as determined as he is, and Asaph finds his life changing in ways he’d never imagined. 

But life was never meant to be easy – when Asaph’s past comes back to haunt him in more ways than one, Asaph has to examine his priorities. Is his happiness rooted in the company he’s worked so hard to build, or is there more to life than money?

Reviewer: Lisa 

Review: This is part of a wonderful series but it can be read as a standalone novella.

The first thing I want to point out is that Lisa Oliver has dedicated this to those who lost their lives at the Pulse Nightclub. It is heart-warming to see an author do this to continue to show that love will beat hate every time. 

Lisa Oliver has become a favorite of mine the moment her first shifter story came out. The world she creates are pretty sweet and damn hot. I love how an alpha wolf can be brought to his knees by a little omega. This story caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me everything I could want in a story.

Ronan is a sweet little omega who loves to dance. His mother had taught him to always keep away from other wolves and to never let a man touch him. He had always followed her rules until he came across a very determined alpha. Asaph is a very dominate alpha wolf and very well known in the world of business. However he thinks that he can buy anything so can you imagine his surprise when a little omega turns his ass down. It would seem he has his work cut out for him.

I always did love a good shifter romance, as long as it is not an insta love type story. And I can guarantee that this is not one of those, poor old Asaph had to work for it. I got a kick out of this although I have to say that it did feel a little off to me. Other than that I had a great time with it and look forward to the next book.
