Reviewer: Cat

Review: I liked this story a lot. It shows the inner turmoil and struggles of someone who is trying to feel needs that do not fit in with the normal society. I liked both Todd and Malik.

I would have liked to have seen more of where Todd and Malik’s relationship went in the future as we only get a couple of weeks. Also, there was only one mild spanking scene with Malik and Todd, the rest were only alluded to. I would have liked to see the scene and how Todd reacted to it. I also would have liked more of Malik’s reactions.

Having said that, this is a very sweet, romantic, hot story. You can’t go wrong for a short story!

If you like sweet romance, short stories older men/younger men, mild BDSM and some sensual but hot man-sex this is definitely for you.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: For a book so short it had a surprising amount of depth and emotion. Robin and Hendrix are men from different generations that find a commonality between themselves. They are both broken in their own ways.

They each have very different ways of dealing with their issues. And those differences caused a bit of angst for both men.
The writing was good. The author had a bit of a balancing act as Robin would have flashbacks of his past.

But I also felt it was missing something to give it that little extra impact. I can’t put my finger on it, I just know something was not there I was looking for.

Review: Adem and Corun had an affair when they were both young men. Then Corun went off to war and Adem found out later that Corun was dead. For next thirty something years Adem went on living and working for the crown. After a horrible attack, Adem is suffering what I would term PTSD. When he is forced to his country estate he learns that his lost love is not dead after all.

Adem and Corun have the chance to fall in love all over again. And it was sweet and really kind of adorable. Corun has lived a lifetime as a soldier and is able to help Adem begin to deal and heal from the trauma he suffered.

I this a pretty neat little story. It had political intrigue, some action, and a lost love found. It also shows that bravery comes in all types of packages.

Blurb: When a stranger runs into Douglas, makes him spill his coffee, and offers to buy him another one, Douglas thinks that’s all it will be. Even though the man is gorgeous. Even though his daughter has other plans.

Turns out, the stranger, Anthony, has other plans as well, and Douglas soon agrees to go to a movie with Anthony. It’s absolutely not a date. Douglas has slept with men, sure, but he isn’t gay. Or bisexual. No matter what Anthony says.

However, a late night and a frank conversation with his daughter’s best friend, leaves Douglas with a different opinion. Not that he plans on letting Anthony know he considers it a date. It’s too much fun to wind Anthony up.

After one not-so-perfect date, Douglas thinks maybe if he keeps Anthony around, turning fifty won’t be so bad.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: After spilling coffee on Douglas, Anthony wants to make up for it by taking Douglas out to the movies. Douglas is reluctant, though his 18-year-old daughter pushed him to give it a shot. Douglas doesn’t want to admit that he could be bisexual, even though he fooled around with some men in college, but Anthony is determined to prove him wrong.

For a short story this was very fun to read, short and sweet with a touch of humor. The characters are very well-developed for such a short story. I could see each of their personality as clear as if I were sitting there with them. The story leaves you with a warm feel-good felling, a perfect book for a vacation read or filler sitting in waiting on appointments. I love keeping a good short story for that!

If you like determined men, kindergarten teachers, Younger men/older men, bossy teenaged daughters and a short, sweet sexy romance this is definitely for you.

Blurb: After the death of his longtime partner, American attorney Dan Evans is reassigned to his firm’s London office. It’s a change his life sorely needs. While admiring roses in a small village in the Cotswolds, Dan meets Martin Saint John. Martin, still fit and attractive at seventy, has also lost his partner, and now spends his time growing roses, meeting friends in the pub, and going to church on Sundays, content with his quiet life.

Roses and tea progress to spending weekends together exploring the countryside, but the differences between Dan and Martin go beyond the fifteen year age gap. If they can open their hearts and accept love—instead of accepting its absence—they might find a second chance at happiness.

All because of roses.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Just because you are over 50 doesn’t mean you still want love. Dan decides to take the move his office offers him to London. He needs the change after the loss of his life-partner. There are too many reminders at home for him to move on.

He decides to find a house outside of London. He finds a very cute cottage and the neighbor across the street with a beautiful rose garden is a plus.

This was a beautifully written book about much older men. Martin is 70 and Dan 15 years younger. I adored the sweetness of the story how the two built a friendship. I loved the trips to stores and the slight differences between the men.

If you are looking for a sweet romance with older men, love antiques, thrift shops and roses, this is definitely for you.

Review: The first thing I noticed after reading this book was that the title and the actual story was off. There was no dancing in it as I expected there to be. It confused me as the blurb states it was about a dancing show in London. It was about Daniel and Will meeting and immediately there was friction between the two that seemed to blossom into something else as time went by.

I usually don’t read just contemporary books but was volunteered to read this one. It was an o.k. read.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: For a story less than 100 pages CM Corett managed to grab my attention from the first paragraph and keep it the entire book. There were several twists, I cried and I cheered each of these characters along the way.

James rejected Ashes advances in the beginning but you have to applaud Ash on going after what he wanted. Then through a tragic twist James much pursue the man he fell in love with. I would have loved to seen this spread out and some blanks filled in. I would have loved more details on Ashes job and adventures and would have loved more about Brody and Ashes history. Yes I loved this story so much I just wanted more! I will definitely be looking for more from this author!

If you like sweet romance, extreme sports, books, older men/younger men, some twists, some moderate but sensual loving man-sex this is definitely for you!

Review: After receiving an invitation to a school reunion and going to see his old high school crush, Conrad, sees his old friend Gary and realizes how much time he wasted pining after someone else when love was right there all along for the taking.

I was glad when Conrad stopped wasting time on someone who didn’t feel the same as him. I was saddened by the fact the fact that Gary and Conrad lost so much time when they could have together instead.

But it all worked out at the reunion with some hot steamy sex and a hint of a future together with each other as it should have been.

Good read.

Review: This story takes place in a time where positions were bought and homosexuality was unheard of. William has purchased a Lieutenant’s Commission in the Coldstream Regiment, British Foot Guards. I must say I found this odd as surely the men paying for positions were not trained for them to begin with so it baffled me as to how they knew how to do the job required of them to begin with. Scottish Sargent Duncan Blair shows Will the ropes and the two grow closer as the story progresses.

I was saddened by the fact that a war was needed at all and the fact that Will was pulled away by a tragedy causing the two men to not be able to see one another until many years later. Though this was a good story, I found it hard to believe that in the time period these two were in that they could be together without being discovered. It just did not seem real to me.

It was an o.k. read.

NeverTooLateLG — There’s something to be said for maturity and experience, whether it’s a second chance at love, a May/December romance, or finding a soul mate later in life. These stories prove that it’s never too late for new love.

Review: This is part of the 2015 Daily Dose- Never Too Late. This one was definitely hot and I had a blast reading it. There is nothing better than a man in uniform, and in this case a hot fireman. You can’t really go into why you love a story in detail when they are shorts because you don’t want to give it away. But damn this was my kind of story and I would love for this to be a novella. I want more details and more story with this.

David had been in a relationship that left him a little hurt. It was a terrible breakup but he had decided to start fresh. So he took a position at a college teaching medieval history. When his cat gets away and heads up to a tree well one normally calls for help. To his luck, his neighbor was a fireman and a damn hot one. Things lead to other things and it all gets smoking hot.

I had a blast reading this and can guarantee that you will too. It is short, hot and very tempting. I loved it and look forward to reading more by this amazing author. Nico is a new author to me, so I look forward to more stories.

Review: Warning…Have some tissue handy.

There’s something to be said for maturity and experience, whether it’s a second chance at love, a May/December romance, or finding a soul mate later in life. These stories prove that it’s never too late for new love.

This is such a beautiful story first of loss. Christopher has lost his fist live in boyfriend but realizes it’s for the best. Then he comes home a week after Graham has moved out and finds his beloved dog Frost gone. He searches and searches to no avail.

Doyle has just lost his husband of over twenty years and something leads him to the local pet shop. He is about to leave when the lady introduces him to a poor dog about to die from grief. It won’t respond to her or her husband. It won’t eat or drink. But it immediately responds to Doyle.

This story starts out sad and tragic, has a magical note (not real magic but the sense of the dog drawing two lost souls together), then becomes sweet and romantic.

If you are a pet lover, like sweet charming romance, May/December relationships and an all over fun, beautiful, short story this is for you!

As an added bonus if you are B.G. Thomas fan, you will recognize Doyle and Christopher from Spring Fling.

Review: This is part of the 2015 Daily Dose Delivery Package-

Never Too Late. At first I was a bit leery of the story itself. I am not one for short stories. You never really get enough to sink your teeth into. It is told in a fantasy way, of a magic carpet ride and a Phoenix.

Juberi had been a soldier and now was an ambassador. He comes off bitter to me. In their world it is wrong to lie with another man. He closes that off until he met Desen. Desen was the son of a friend and he has come to mean a lot to him. He has spent many years trying to bring back the Phoenix, but is he willing to lose someone important to him.

Portia’s Two Cents: ♥♥♥♥♥5 Hearts

I really enjoyed this story. In my opinion, Kim Fielding is one of the most adventurous authors in the genre. Suspense, Contemporary or Fantasy, Kim has a smooth writing style that just does it for me.

Juberi is content to settle into retirement. But, the sense that he was bored off his ass and resigned to his life, oozed off the pages.

Luckily, sexy Desen pops up, just before Jeberi dies of sheer boredom. His attention is enough to wake up both Juberi, the man and Juberi, the scientist.

I loved the chemistry between these two. Also, the world building was very nice. And honestly, if you are only going to invest in a couple of the Daily Doses…PLEASE make this brilliant little story one of them.

Highly recommend.

Review: This is part of the 2015 Daily Dose Delivery Package-

Never Too Late. At first I was a bit leery of the story itself. I am not one for short stories. You never really get enough to sink your teeth into. This was an intriguing story and even though it is a paranormal, it is told in the western way.

Henry was sent by the government to find a rogue. What he found was his mate. A werewolf that had once been a leader but now followed the rules to a point. Jack has found his mate once more, but more goes on then everyone knows.

I do hope that this will be expanded into a longer story with more to it later on. It was a great start but only gave me a taste, did not really fulfill my wants. It is a cute and very sexy little story though. It was not my type of story though. I am more for the present tense and even future ones, but not much for the past stories.

Review: I have read a couple of these and they have left me

hanging with questions. They just give you this taste and doesn’t fulfill you at all.

Now I must admit that this does the same but it actually comes off pretty damn good. I wasn’t so sure what to think at first. The title had me guessing at first. This is the first book by this author that I have read and it was pretty good. Although to be truthful I hated it. To meet up and then to know you will not have a lot of time with someone kind of does it for me.

Kithric has been capturing dragons for as long as he remembered. He didn’t kill them but took samples for magic. He was a mage that was growing old and losing his abilities. So when he captured a dragon that shifted into a human he figured death was coming. What he had not expected was for Ylfrin to tease him.

This was a pretty good story and I would recommend reading it. It gives you a taste of the paranormal worlds, dragons, danger, excitement and just a hint of sex.

For being such a short story I was impressed with it.

Review: Over twenty years since these two men were one best

friends and short-term lovers. They have each moved on with their lives, had long term relationships with others, but they have never forgotten each other. When they meet on the same train one day they slowly start to get to know each other again.

In my experience Andrew Grey always gives a well written book, and this was no different. The characters are easy to relate to. Trenton and Brit have lived a life time apart and need to find a way to fit into each other’s lives together. They have both lost people they loved and have some leftover emotions that caused a bit of angst.

This was a good, light, enjoyable read.

Mens Rea by Brooke Edwards

Title: Mens Rea
Series: 2015 Daily Dose- Never Too Late

Blurb: James Carter is forty-five and has been a police officer most of his life. He married young, lost her young, and his life revolved around his work and his son. Young is a recurring theme in his life, he thinks, when he meets the considerably younger AUSA Derek Moore on a case and finds himself ruled by the whims of his heart.

The road to love between a hotshot lawyer and a veteran cop was never going to be smooth, not in the real world, but there are criminals, misunderstandings, and a lack of communication standing in their way too. Both are so stubborn and convinced their interest is one-sided that it takes a murder case, exhaustion, and an adjournment for them to get their act together. They move fast after that, but they both know there’s no guarantee for tomorrow.

Review: This is part of the 2015 Daily Dose- Never Too Late. I am not one for short stories and this one had potential but did not come through for me. For one it starts in the middle of something big and then ends with no ending. Oh sure the love is going great but what they were doing was not. It kind of sucked to have such a great story but not start it the way one would think. I was not impressed with this story.

James is a police officer and his intent was to catch the bad guy. Once he caught them then the attorneys would come in and do their job. At one time he had married and had a son. When his wife died things slowed down. However he has taken an interest in Derek. Too bad neither one has a clue that the other one is interested in the other. When Derek gets hurt, James will do everything to protect him. Now if only they could figure out their lives as well as they do their cases.

I can’t really go into some parts of the story without giving it away. However it has great potential if there was more of a beginning to the story. I can see the ending being left open but not the beginning. In all other thoughts it was a bit confusing to me. It was just a little mixed up in certain parts. Other than that the story will be a great one if it doesn’t come off rushed.

Blurb: When plumber and builder Jordan Novotny goes to take a look at the home of the town’s openly gay, recently dumped librarian, he doesn’t expect to find anything other than a falling-apart old house and a water heater in need of repair. Instead, he finds an older man in need of some TLC and a new circle of friends after his ex tossed him aside for a newer model.

Stephen might be attracted to Jordan, but he thinks the young man is exactly that—too young. It takes Jordan’s family interfering and a bit of a mishap to make them see that it’s never too late to find a new love, and that age is just a number. All that matters is compatibility and the courage to take a chance.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: I simply loved this little short. Totally sweet and cute.

There is no other way to describe it.

Stephen is an older gentleman who has recently been thrown away by his partner for a younger model. His former partner walked out and even took their friends with him. Leaving Stephen with an old house that is slowly falling apart.

In walked Jordan a young man working for his family business. He helps Stephen out and even offers comfort with a simple hug. The best thing of all is that Stephen gets adopted by Jordan’s family.

There is no over the top romance or sex in this tale. Just two men slowly falling in love with each other. They find something in the other both needed and take their time. I love the ending, just perfect.

Review: This is part of the 2015 Daily Dose- Never Too Late. This one was definitely hot and I had a blast reading it. There is nothing better than a man in uniform, and in this case a hot and sexy police officer with a gun. You can’t really go into why you love a story in detail when they are shorts because you don’t want to give it away. But damn this was my kind of story and I would love for this to be a novella. I want more details and more story with this.

Evan was a police officer who had not only a heart but a conscious. He knew his fellow officers did not think that way. So when one of them was being a total ass to Beau he wanted to step in. Beau had a problem with petty theft but the officer was doing all he could do to make Beau’s life nasty. When Evan came home to find an injured Beau he knew he had to help. He just didn’t expect it to lead where it did.

I had a blast reading this and can guarantee that you will too. It is short, hot and very tempting. I do wish that it had been expanded into a more intense story. It would have been perfect then. It is a great start that is for sure. I loved it and look forward to reading more by this amazing author.

Nora is a new author to me, so I look forward to more of her stories.
