Blurb: Two straight dudes in competition for the same woman, end up trapped together.
In a world where truth is more bizarre than fiction, Albert Lane and his arch rival, Douglas Jefferies, can’t believe what happens next.

You can’t make this sh*t up…but in reality, you can.

Enjoy this new twist on an old trope- ‘Enemies’ becoming a lot more than just ‘good friends.’
(A ‘first-touch’ gay romance story.) #firsttouch

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Albert has a girlfriend who refuses to do anything with him sexually until their wedding. Albert is frustrated to say the least. Being trapped in an elevator with arch rival Douglas makes him see the man in a new light. One thing leads to another and they awkwardly come together.

Although I liked the story of two straight guys being together it was awkward when they did get together. I could not believe Albert dated a woman who pushed him away when it came to sex, it was no wonder he turned to someone else.

This story was well written but at the same time there seemed to be something missing which I could never pinpoint. Aside from that it was entertaining.

Good read.

Blurb: I was a pretty boy. Everyone said so. I had the right looks for the modeling business, and I’d made a lot of money plastering my face all over the world. I had a brain, too, but no one seemed to notice anything beyond my good looks. It was aggravating when they didn’t.

I wanted Sgt. Dennis Cooper to notice. I wanted him to see my pretty face and realize I could carrying on an intelligent conversation at the same time. I wanted him to want me the way I wanted him. It was frustrating when he didn’t.

When someone else does notice, keeping Cooper safe from them becomes more important than proving to the man that I was as smart as I was pretty. It was just too bad Cooper didn’t seem interested.

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Growing up I was raised to love books and I spent most of my free time reading about amazing romances in exotic places. Now it wasn’t until a few years ago that I started reading male on male romance and knew that I had to just get my hands on them. Stormy Glenn was one of my first authors in this genre and I knew from the first book that she was going to be a favorite of mine, and she has done exactly that.

The characters are fully developed and lets face it down right hot. This particular series is unique and a fresh new idea that I truly enjoyed. The guys are quirky, snarky and fun to hang around with. They have a serious tone to them but quite a bit of humor matches it. My attention was caught from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end.

Andrew is one sexy young man who has spent most of his life modeling. But what no one realizes is he has the brains that beat most out. He surprised me in book one with his brains and now he is at it again. He has the hots for one of his cousins men but just can’t figure Dennis out. To top it off someone is out to get him.

Dennis has noticed the sexy man but just hasn’t let on. Now someone is out to get the man he has fallen in love with. It seems the team is going to have to kick some ass.

This is a very fascinating story and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. It gave me everything I could want in a book and so much more. I had fun reading it and can guarantee that you will also.

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 4 Hearts

Blurb: Christian needs what Peter has to give him, but will he let himself have it?

With Toby’s stalker behind bars, Damon and Toby can relax and enjoy their relationship, sinking into basking and reveling in each other.

Things are just heating up for Peter and Christian, though. A former soldier, Christian still hasn’t found his subspace and he’s worried it either doesn’t exist or he’s simply doing it wrong. Peter has as much patience as he needs, though, and he slowly pushes Christian to the edges of his limits, doing everything he can to help Christian grow and flourish.

Christian’s training and the café they’re opening create good excuses for Christian to keep from submitting, even though, deep down, it’s what he really wants. Peter’s perseverance will have to work overtime to overcome them.

Will Christian ever give in to the things he knows he needs? Only time will tell.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Christian and Peter are the focus of this story with Toby’s stalker finally behind bars. Christian is a former soldier and is having a hard time submitting to Peter. These men love each other dearly and Peter is patient and not willing to give up on Christian.

I loved how Peter tried different scenes to see if they would help with Christian’s issues. Never pushing too hard and when they did not work he figured out something else. I also found it cute that Peter was constantly distracted by Christian.

Great read.

Blurb: Parker Holtzer isn’t the type to buy into other humans’ prejudices. He proves it by leaving his human family group and joining the paranormal Rogue Army. When he meets Mimic, he knows he made the right decision. Parker also isn’t a shy person. He doesn’t care if he is in a mess hall full of paranormals—he makes his move anyway. The only problem is Mimic doesn’t say a word. Is it a rejection, or is there a reason for the silence?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Roguefalls collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. This story is part of the 2017 Mile High City Collection

Parker is very unusual for a human. He also doesn’t believe what other humans believe. He joins the paranormal Rogue Army to help the paranormal’s fight and protect. His very first mission is going to be with the one man that turns him on like crazy. Nice that the man just so happens to be his mate as well.

I love how this author can make a short story seem a bit longer with more details put into it. Although I do wish that it was longer because I would have loved more about his pretty amazing couple. Mimic is a skinwalker which is pretty cool and something I didn’t know about. I also loved that even though he was the paranormal, he doesn’t come off as one big alpha type.

This was a fun story to read about and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Blurb: As the love between Toby and Damon deepens, the man intent on destroying their happiness increases his efforts.

Toby and Damon are back in Brewing, their relationship deepening more despite the continuing efforts of a stranger to bring them down.

Helping in their efforts are their best friends Peter and Christian. Peter’s new investment in a three-story building on the same block as Damon’s bar offers Toby the opportunity of having a studio close to home. It also gives Peter and Christian a home they’ve made together, which Peter hopes will bring them closer together.

A former soldier, Christian has a hard time letting go and finding his subspace. It’s going to take a lot to break the conditioning he’s learned in the Army. Peter is stubborn, though, and he’s seriously falling for his strong sub.

Will yet another attack bring down two couples this time?

Product Link: Pride Publishing | Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: In this book we see a new business open and Toby is ecstatic and immediately begins sculpting in his new studio. Damon is happy yet concerned when the stalker yet again throws their world into chaos.

We also learn more about Peter and Christian. Christian is struggling with his d/s relationship with Peter. But Peter is not giving up and finds different ways to ease Christian in the lifestyle.

I liked this story as the stalker is finally revealed and we learn more about Christian and Peter as opposed to only the story being about Damon and Toby.

Great read.

Blurb: Half werewolf and half telekinetic, Santino Moreno is called the Devil for a reason. Lethal in a fight and dangerously seductive in bed, no one has ever managed to tame him. Searching for a way to heal his sister, Santino saves Zack, a bobcat shifter healer, and his crew of misfits from paranormal-hating humans and allows them inside the Devil Hills pack lands. Something about Zack calls to Santino’s wolf, and he can’t deny the scorching attraction between them.

Zack has done all he could to save the remains of his decimated paranormal community. He just lied to the most powerful werewolf pack in the country to save his people, but his deceit unravels the more he spends time with Santino. Zack lost his old home, but can he find his place in the Devil Hills pack and manage to survive his dance with the Devil?

Product Link: Siren-BookStrand | Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Santino and his sister were created in the human lab to check the mixture of shifter and Espers. At the age of seven, he got his sister and himself out of the hell hole. Deacon had found them and brought them home. They gave their loyalty to him and swore to follow him anywhere. When most of their pack had been killed and Deacon took over the alpha position, he became one of the enforcers as did his sister. Now his sister was in a coma and he needed her to come back.

Zack had done the one thing he could think of, he lied to the alpha of the pack he wanted to join. Him and his friends were the only survivors after their pack was killed. Zack and his friends were not the same kind of shifter, Zack was an small bobcat shifter. He was the healer of the group. When he heard that the pack was in need of a shifter who could work with an Esper, he jumped at it. Then he saw Santino and his heart beat heavy and boy was he going to be in trouble.

Out of the three books in this series, I have to say that this one was the best. It had a lighter tone to it that actually made the story rock. The characters were perfect for the story and damn if they were not hot. This story caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me almost everything I could ask for in a story. I like the way this story just seem to flow of the pages and it went in the perfect direction.

I had a blast reading this and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. I can honestly say that this is one of those stories that will be read more than once.

Blurb: The galaxy’s a dangerous place. Best not to travel it alone.

It’s been over a century since the AIs rose up and attacked, driving humans from Earth and leaving them scattered across the galaxy. Humanity survives, but always fearful of the technology that allows them travel among the stars, never knowing when it may turn against them once more.

An interstellar fugitive.

For Jaime Bashir, born with the ability to communicate telepathically with computers, his gifts are more of a curse. They also make him a target. On the run, he finds himself among a starship crew, one transporting a mysterious cargo. Even more intriguing is Rylan, the muscled guard watching his every move. Jaime has no reason to trust him, but nowhere else to turn.

A disgraced ex-soldier.

Rylan Slate is looking to leave his past behind. Joining a crew of smugglers is one way to do it. But capturing Jaime is both an opportunity and a danger. He starts out as a prisoner, but then becomes something more, testing loyalties in ways Rylan never expected. Will regaining his honor mean betraying Jaime?

ISBN: B07C4Q54FG

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Fascinating story about a world trying to reestablish itself after almost being wiped out by AI’s. Jaime has the unique ability to be able to communicate with computers. However there are those that hunt his kind down for elimination. Hiding and keeping away from all who would use and do him harm lands him in Ronan’s hands as his prisoner.

Ronan was a soldier for the commonwealth who is on a secret mission aboard a smugglers ship. He is cold and indifferent until meeting Jaime. The mission takes a dangerous turn when events unforeseen lead the crew into perilous situations where all is not as it seems.

I liked the whole story. The crew were lively and likeable and added to the story as it progressed. The different groups were out for their own purposes and the commonwealth were shady in my opinion. I felt for Jaime and all that he had been through. Ronan seemed to be trying to impress the wrong people at first.

Great read with adventure, action, mystery and suspense with two hot men and a great cast of characters.

Blurb: Stefan Renaldo’s ski trip to Steamboat Springs was supposed to be a fun vacation with friends. Instead, he ends up alone and injured on the mountain. Even as Stefan fears he’s going to die of exposure, he sees something that must surely be the product of his pain-addled mind. A dragon. He wakes in a warm bed and being cared for by Kazeem, a sexy recluse. Needing surgery on his leg, he can’t stay. In the hospital, Stefan hears from his friends how crazy possessive and aggressive his rescuer is. While fleeing seems like a good idea, why can’t he get the mountain man out of his mind?

ISBN: 978-1-4874-1530-3

Product Link: eXtasy Books | Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This story is a branch off from the original Wolves of Stone Ridge series which has many branches off of it. I would start with the first book in that series and go from there. Be ready for a good time.

Stefan and his best friends decide to have a bit of fun on their vacation. Skiing was a favorite of theirs and they were pretty good at it. That is until someone knocks him off course and ends him up with a broken leg. He swears he sees a dragon, but then a sexy man is what he wakes up to. Things are going to get hot and spicy real soon, for Stefan is Kazeem’s mate.

I really wished that this book had been longer. It felt like it had been cut off before the real fun got even started. I do hope for this collection that the next book will be longer. Other than that it was amazing as usual. I always loved dragon shifters and dang if Charlie did’t give us a favorite.

This story had my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end.

Blurb: After a breakup, Erron Murfin finds himself broken, homeless, and destitute. The chance to become the Santa Claus’s new cook is a beacon he can’t ignore.

The new position allows him to work under Gamin Rockwell, the man who helped raise him until he disappeared when Erron turned nineteen—well over a decade ago. While the two make up for lost time, Erron catches the eyes of many crewmen as well as James and Barrus, a married pair with real intentions who are determined to draw the cautious new arrival into their relationship.

Even as he stitches together his ability to see a future for himself, Gamin’s history and personal issues begin to surface. Secrets bubble out in ways Erron can’t ignore and he finds himself with a mystery he needs to solve.

Because there’s something about Gamin that goes far deeper than the fatherly role he once held in Erron’s life so long ago.

Product Link: NineStar Press | Amazon US | Amazon UK | B&N | Kobo | Smashwords

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: While I enjoyed this tale about Erron and Gamin I was disappointed that there was no action scenes in it. After all it is a sci-fi story. Nevertheless Erron captivated me from the start as he lost everything and was hired on the Santa Claus as a cook.

The man who was like a father to him and disappeared, Gamin, is also on board. What starts out as a get to know each other better turns into a tension filled story with Erron on the receiving end of cold shoulders after a question leaves Gamin in depression.

He takes Barrus and Jamie up on the offer of comfort much to the dismay of Gamin. I had already figured out Gamin’s feelings for Erron and was happy with the outcome. Though Erron was stricken in the book and had to adjust his life due to circumstances beyond his control it all worked out in the end.

Great read.

Rider is shocked when he discovers his mate in Howling Cavern, and being attacked by a feeder no less. What stuns him further is the fact Kenny is so accepting of everything. But a rumor going around has the shifters investigating a possible land sale right next to their territory. Jesse and the sheriff are shot at, men are coming into their woods, and what the pack finds out about the rumor goes deeper than they thought.

All Rider wants to do is protect his mate and unborn child, and if starting a war accomplishes that, then he’ll go up against a militia of humans to keep them safe.

Product Link: Siren-BookStrand

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Kenny was left with his grandfather when he was a small child and never saw them again. He loved his grandfather something fierce. The only other person that he loved was his best friend, a feisty fox shifter, pretty much a twin to him. He knew about the paranormal world but damn he had not counted on the smelly rotton flesh of the feeder that snuck into his house. Nor the sexy wolf shifter who claimed to be his mate.

Rider is a hard ass but when he sees his mate being attacked by a feeder, lets just say his primal man attitude definitely came out. He is not an alpha, but when his mate is in danger it all comes out. Now if only he could figure out what to do with the old man and fox, he would be doing great.

I sure hope that Felix gets a feisty mate of his own, he is definitely a cutie pie. I loved that Kenny’s grandfather didn’t bat an eye when he was taken from is home nor the wolf shifters surrounding him. This was funny as hell, exciting to read and sexy to boot. I had a kick out of the world these guys lived in, and just want to teleport myself there. Danger surrounds them all, and if they don’t have any other problems, all would be good. Oh wait, the mayor.

I would definitely read this again and recommend it to all.

Having survived the Civil War, they shuttle amongst the Proxima Centauri planetary cluster, trying to find some modicum of peace. Something of which Liam is in short supply.

During a stopover on the planet Luxoria, they take on a mysterious passenger. Hadrian Jamison’s history is questionable and his effect on Liam is undeniable. The more they learn, the more questions they have. As they are drawn together, Hadrian’s presence threatens to disrupt the quiet.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Loved this story of Hadrian and Liam. Captain Danverse and Liam have been friends and lovers for a while but the physical aspect is a coping mechanism for Liam to deal with their last mission. He suffers from nightmares and guilt at what he had done. Hadrian is genetically modified person. He’s strong, fast and has other abilities. He is labled as a slave to the one who owns him.
Escaping with help and getting aboard the Santa Claus was the only thing Hadrian focused on but meeting Liam he felt a connection that he couldn’t ignore. But when danger comes knocking it tests all of them.

I loved this story. The first half of the book is drama based where we get background on some characters and are introduced to Mac, the tech guy who is secretly in love with captain and vice versa. So there are plenty relationships throughout the story.

My favorite part was learning about Hadrian and all that entails. I was saddened by what he had gone through and how that came to be. I was incensed at the person who owned him. Hadrian never should have gone through what he had at the whim of someone in power.

An amazing detailed suspense and romance filled story with action scenes that leave you awed. I loved everything about this story and am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Highly recommended.

Reviewer: Lisa

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

After finding out about the paranormal world and seeing his best friend give birth, Corky does the only thing he knew how to do, he ran. He was a human who was a mate to an alpha wolf and there was no way in hell he was going to give birth. The truth was it wasn’t just that that had him running but he would keep that to himself.

Jesse was the alpha of his pack and he was going to spank that mate of his. Hunting him down and bringing him back to the pack is the best thing he should do, but that mate of his is about to get a spanking. To top it off the feeders are coming out in town and Corky’s parents are causing discord for his little man. What what happens next, oh that would be the sheriff.

The blurb needs a bit of work to it, or I should say editing done there. I have always loved this author’s work and I have a feeling that will never change. The worlds she creates is full of hot sexy men, danger, excitement, adventure and well you get the picture. It is a fascinating world that is definitely well rounded and exciting. I didn’t really care for Jesse but he is alpha all the way. Corky definitely deserves any spanking he gets, but you can also see that he needs the loving even more.

I had a lot of fun with this story and can’t wait to get started on the next book.

Blurb: Damiano Satriale is hiding a deep dark secret, one that he’s had to cloak from the scent of other shifters all his life. Should anyone pick up on the vibrations of his royal bloodline, it will be the end of him. Ordered to the court of King Fain, monarch to all large cat shifters, the assignment leaves a bad taste in Dami’s mouth. The last thing he ever wanted or needed was the scrutiny that will come while serving as Paladin Primero, the king’s champion and most fearsome warrior knight. To top it all off, Dami is greeted by none other than his mate, someone he’d hoped never to meet.

Paget Jureaux, the panther who runs King Fain’s household, has been serving the monarch for nearly five years after the coup which resulted in the execution of the former king, Pasha Raab. He’s made lots of acquaintances and a few friends, but he’s never had any romantic entanglements. With no other gay cats around, there hasn’t been much chance for Paget to fall in love. When his mate arrives in the form of the king’s new paladin, he curses his fate. Not only does the man come with a vicious and cruel reputation, but a stunning face and an incredibly sexy body.

Thrown together by destiny, the two realize they must avoid each other at all costs and face the biggest challenge of their lives… trying to stay alive long enough… to walk away with broken hearts.

Review: I absolutely loved this story. Paget and Demi’s story was heartbreaking yet so sweet. Danger looms everywhere and the slightest mistake could mean the death for Demi and Paget.

The dynamics in the Tiger King are old school as to there can only be one king and anyone else in the line could be put to death by the king. Not to mention it is against the law for different stations to become involved with one another despite their being mates. This part I thought was wrong for the characters.

I loved this book. Action, suspense, mystery, danger and a whole slew of other things packed into an amazing story that grips you from the beginning and does not let go until the very end. I was hooked from the moment I opened the book.

I highly recommend this book to everyone.

Review: Ben is a very submissive wolf and has been kicked down by pretty much the whole pack. Oh there were a few that he got along with, although mostly other submissive’s. He really was a bit terrified of those around him, but they were still his family. So when another pack came at them, he tried to do something. He just hadn’t expected to get kidnapped right from the whole thing by a hugh dragon. A dragon that should not exist.

Cole is the oldest from his siblings and the last one that had taken off when his father went crazy. He knew that if he had left earlier the pack down on the hill would have been dead. Now he was back in the one place he hated, to say goodbye to his dead father. To his surprise he hears a call that calls to him stronger than any other, and it leads him to his mate.

This story is quite active and danger surrounds them all. I have always loved dragons and don’t come across them as much as I would like. This story has great potential but comes off a bit stiff. It was hard to connect with the characters, but I am hoping that is just because this story is the first one in this series. It felt rushed and was missing quite a bit that would have made it stand out to me.

I do look forward to the next book.

Blurb: Derrick Tovar thought posing for a calendar would be the most adventurous thing he’d ever do—boy, was he wrong!

Derrick Tovar has always played it safe. He had a secure job, a retirement plan, five- and ten-year goals… When he agreed to pose in skimpy clothing for a charity calendar, he figured that was one daring, out-of-character thing for him to do. It wasn’t that big a risk, really.

Except it almost got him killed.

He’s having a little trouble dealing with that, but he soon meets a man who makes him want to dream big and take chances.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Derrick and Niall were a great couple. Derrick has plans and rules he follows to the letter as well as deep seated fear. Niall on the other hand is free spirited and fun loving. When these two get together they set the pages on fire.

I loved these two together. They help the other in ways no one else can. The fear Derrick has is understandable given what he went through and Niall helping him understand there is nothing wrong with seeking help when it is needed.

Great read.

Reviewer: Lisa

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

I have never really understood the BDSM lifestyle, but it makes for an interesting read. Maybe a little too hard core for me, but it is still a fascinating read. I have always loved Stormy’s stories and will always grab them up. This series is not my favorite of all of her books but still gives me an entertaining night of fun.

Jackson is absolutely gorgeous and has a hard time finding that one man for him. Then his best friend points out a man staring at him and his interest is piqued. He is just not to sure of what the man wants, but damn if he does’t want it.

Michael is a dominate and wants the lifestyle twenty-four-seven. The problem is finding the boy for him, that is until he sees Jackson. Too bad his boy has no clue about what is going on. You guessed it, it is not going to go as easy as Michael hopes for.

This story was previously published but has been revised and expanded for our enjoyment. I am still not too sure of many of the things these guys like, but Jackson definitely had a harder time then I had thought he would have. Michael was definitely pushy and too cocky for my taste, but when the story is all together and you can just see the magic. I loved Jackson, but in the end it was Michael that won the spot in my eyes. He is still pushy but he also has a very sweet side. I did enjoy reading it and can see myself reading it more than once.

I would definitely recommend this book.
