Reviewer: Cat

Review: Crooked Tree Ranch is the opener book for the Montana Series.

In this book we learn that three families own the Ranch, The Allens, the Strachens and the Todd brothers. Marcus is an older depressed man with health and issues and depression. His main job is to manage the money and take care of bills. He has been slipping lately and the Ranch is in big hurt with a failing economy and bad management. The Strachens are silent partners leaving Marcus and the three younger Todd brothers. Marcus suggests now insists they hire a marketing manager to help them stay afloat.

Jay has just lost his boyfriend and job and after no luck in finding a new one he moves his sister and her family with him to Montana. Both he and his sister fall in love with the location, the ranch and Todd brothers.

I loved this story. There is quite a bit going on, and it is in two views but easy to follow.

The characters are all well-developed, and I loved them all. I loved how Jay and Nate fought their attraction and how it was inevitable. The chemistry was perfect.

If you like market managers, creative men, rugged cowboys, new series, Montana, cute kids, sweet romance and some hot man-sex, this is for you

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Grace Through Redemption is book three and the final in the trilogy. Grace has endured a lot of loss over the past year. Each day she faces life and death situations and trying to separate her professional life as a police officer with her personal one.

This series each book is like three books in one. You have the storyline of Grace’s relationship ups and downs through all three. You also have the ongoing murders of the police force through all books, and then you have Grace’s daily work where each day you get one or several unique stories. Some are funny some are heartbreaking some horrendous.

The only thing I don’t like about how the book is written is that sometimes each chapter is the same day, next day or several days or weeks later. It’s hard to keep up with the time frame.

The stories are very interesting. I wish there had been more of Grace and Amya’s relationship and more closure on other storylines (Peter) at the end. All in all, this is an interesting book. Especially if you like police procedurals.

It was Okay for me.

If you like procedurals, quirky characters, suspense and F/F romance, you will like this book.

Blurb: Jason Davis can handle a breakup. And an overwhelming mortgage. And a struggling business. And the excruciating pain that keeps him up at night thanks to a shoulder injury. But all of it at once? Not so much. When his shoulder finally pushes him to a breaking point, Jason takes a friend’s advice and gives acupuncture a try.

Acupuncturist Michael Whitman is a single dad struggling to make ends meet. When a mutual friend refers Jason as a patient, and Jason suggests a roommate arrangement to alleviate their respective financial strains, Michael jumps at the opportunity.

But Jason soon finds himself regretting it – he’s too damn attracted to Michael, and living with him is harder than he thought it’d be. In fact, the temptation to act on his feelings would almost be too much if not for the fact that Michael is straight.

Or at least, that’s what their mutual friend claims.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Where the Nerves in was a breathtakingly Beautiful story, full off angst, passion and coming out.

Chronic pain has ruled Jay’s life for a long time now. His boyfriend left him with a big mortgage, his business partner left him with a big mortgage and failing business, and with the pain he deals with all the time he has no control over his life. Finally, at wit’s end with no other option in sight, he goes to see an acupuncturist that his best friend recommends. He finds himself attracted but the man is straight, divorced with a seven-year-old child.

Finding out Michael was also suffering from stress of business and mortgage he suggest he move in with him to help them both and so he can continue his treatments. But will the sexual tension be too much?

I loved this story. I loved both Jay and Michael. I could feel their anguish and pain. Whether it was emotional (Michael) or physical (Jay).

Iggy Toma did an excellent job of conveying both men’s feelings so well. I loved his silky, soft voice. His portrayal of each character was clear and he also was able to show the internal thoughts for both men clearly as well.

If you like coming out stories, lots of angst and some hot mansex you will love this.

The Fear of Surrender by Morticia Knight

Author: Morticia Knight
Genre: BDSM/Historical
Length: 163 pages
Publisher: Totally Bound (March 6th, 2015)
Heat Level: Moderate
Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 4 Hearts
Blurb: Master Thomas sees a submissive man aching for surrender if only Linus can be convinced not to fear The Hampton Road Club.
Linus never wants to return to Hampton Road after being attacked by a Master there. Even though he aches for the attention of Master Thomas—the one who he’d originally wanted—he isn’t sure he can ever trust another Master not to abuse him again.

Thomas is furious with himself for not protecting the beautiful young submissive whose company he’d enjoyed on a few occasions. He’s relieved that there have been some recent changes to help protect the men who offer themselves at the sadomasochism club. It’s about time to bring Hampton Road into the progressive age of the 1920’s. Now that the new rules are in place, perhaps he can woo Linus into giving him a chance.

As Thomas goes out of his way to be kind to him, Linus wonders if he’s misjudged the Master. He’s still not sure if there’s a future for them. What if he never wants to surrender to another man? When he allows Thomas to teach him the joys of Dominance and submission, Linus discovers that he not only wants to surrender, he wants to be claimed permanently. If only Thomas’ old life doesn’t come back to haunt them and destroy their chance of being together forever.

Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of figging and piercing.

Publisher’s Note: This book is best read in sequence as part of a series but can be read as a standalone

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Tomas has recently been hurt by the man he loved. His last sub left him for another. He has had his eye on Linus but realizing too late his feelings, Linus gets hurt. Hurt enough to make him afraid of dominate men, and the Hampton Road Club.

Linus was wary of the Hampton Road Club when his date brought him there and still not sure why Ned thought this would be the place for Linus. When he was under the control of master Thomas, Linus felt things he never thought he would…or should. Then things went to hell in a handbasket for Linus. (you need to read book two to see what happened.)

Both men need something the other could give. Both men are afraid to reach out and take what is right in front of them. Will Linus ever be able to submit again? Will Thomas ever be able to love again?

The Fear of Surrender is book three of the Hampton Road Club, and you do need to read this series in order as there are recurring characters and the story lines. This book you especially need to read book two. I like how each Dominate in this series is so different. Each has his needs, and it shows. Thomas doesn’t want a 24/7 sub like Saul and Aaron.

I also liked that this book stepped out of the club a lot and showed more about the feelings of these two men. I loved Thomas before now I am even more in love!

This book did have more of the 1920’s feel I missed in the last book with the houses and cars and other nuances. I absolutely love this series and am ready to dive into the next book.

Warning this is BDSM. There are some fetishes in each book. This one has figging and piercing. Both scenes were tastefully written and scorching hot.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Hate Crimes, Serial Killers, and Brotherly Love took to the extreme.

After dropping off his brother and boyfriend Drew at a bus station, Zach is beaten and kidnapped by a deranged serial killer. He has lost his brother/ the love of is life and nearly his life but will his secret cost him more?

Where the Heart Belongs is a short story full of twists, angst, and misery. It has unique characters and has a few twists. The story is incest, has beatings, and rape, so it isn’t for everyone. None of that bothers me. The one thing I had an issue with was the toy just ended. I had so many questions left unanswered. Though it doesn’t say it’s a first of a series or anything I hope there is another book to answer those questions.

If you like lots of angst, dark stories, Taboo such as incest and rape, mystery and suspense I think you will like this story.

Cat’s Review: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts
One hundred years after the first Asteroid hit causing the world to go into a state of Chaos and find shelter at the mysterious Refuge Inc. 5 years later it hit again leaving the earth filled with deadly toxic gases.

Inside Refuge Inc., there was also a breach in the upper hemisphere causing many to die and the rest to survive in the lower half. There are many rules enforced, and no one is allowed to have children until they can find a place to start over. Then there is a breach on level Ten, the top floor, and chaos ensues unlocking many mysteries and lies.

Science fiction isn’t one of my favorite genres, but I do enjoy a well-written post-apocalyptic story now and again. I have followed this series from the beginning and loved it. I have waited for this one for a very long time and wasn’t disappointed. I love interesting characters, and there was many of them.

I also liked that there was a frequent mention of the first books and Adam and Elliot.

There is a bit more romance in this book, and I really liked that.
If you like Science Fiction, Post-apocalypse, futuristic stories, a good romance and a happy for now ending this is for you.

Even though this is a book 5 it stands alone just fine.

Lisa’s Review: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts

I wasn’t to sure about this series at first because of the fact that it is like a futuristic type of story. I had expected zombies so when I started reading it, lets just say I was fascinated with it. Over one hundred years ago an asteroid turned the world into a wasteland, then fifteen years later it made the air deadly. So a safe place was made for the survivors but someone on the inside is trying to change it all.

With a leak on the tenth floor, everyone was ordered to keep the contaminated out. Disobeying orders Vince goes to the upper floors not expecting his friends to follow he was shock to find out that those who were supposed to have been dead were very much alive. Connor will follow Vince everywhere, he has loved the man for years but it is not returned. He had high hopes to change that, but now with all the surprises coming up things just might be changing for all of them.

This story was a shock to me and I can’t tell you how much fun I had reading it. It was so realistic that it felt like I was right there with them. The shock of finding out about the lies they were all told, the betrayal from above, the love and friendship were just a hit for me. I loved that there was so much description to this story it felt so damn real. Although I am glad it wasn’t. I loved how much depth to this story that it had and would definitely put this in my top five favorites list. I hope to read another story about the future because it would be a hit.

I enjoyed this story and would definitely recommend it.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Sexy ex-military bodyguards, a spoiled brat, traitors galore!
That is only a few things to expect in this super sexy, nail-biting suspense story. Clear some time. You won’t want to put it down.
Chaz doesn’t want a bodyguard when he arrives back home from college. After years of being away, he feels unwanted and is very defiant and rebellious. Ex- Marine Tate Heston has more than a handful with this young man.

But not all is as seen. Once Tate gets to know Chaz, he sees a brilliant, misunderstood, young man. Just as the things heat up for the two and Chaz is settled with Tate, the twists begin, and we are one wild rollercoaster of these twists and turns.

I loved this story. There are may characters involved, and the story will certainly keep yo o its toes. I will say there were so many views, that the way it kept changing from one to the other was a bit jarring at times, but once you figured out the speaker, it wasn’t so hard to follow, even though one speaker was a secret to the very end. We even get to see a few favorites from the first two books.

If you like sexy marines, bodyguards, mystery/suspense, millionaires, older men/younger men, and some hot man-sex, this is definitely for you.

Though this is a book three of a series, I think you can read it as a standalone though the other two are well worth the read!

Review: Romance. Angst. Happy Endings. Oh I nearly forgot…sexy cowboys and hot paramedics.

Ever since meeting Eric, Bridge has questioned his feelings. Finally, he can’t take it anymore and finally approaches Eric. Eric reciprocates his desires but his past keeps him from letting go. Whose heart will get broken?

I have read this series so I am already familiar with the books. This is book two, though you may be able to read as a standalone…I suggest reading in order so you get a bit more background on both Bridge and Eric.

I think I could listen I Dorian Bane all day every day. His voice is so rich; a perfect cowboy voice, yet he was able to drop an octave for Marty and even do a cool accent for Eric. The regular narration is hot, but let me tell you his reading of the sex scenes will set you on fire. I think we need a fireman tossed in here with our paramedic!

If you like sexy cowboys, paramedics, gay for you, an all over sweet romance, with some scorching hot sex-scenes ,this is a must read.

I highly recommend this series!

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Sebastien has taken a significant step. Even bigger than going far from home to college, but wanting to be completely himself. He isn’t ready to come out to his family, but he figured if he lived so far way that perhaps he could keep that secret for a while longer. He heard about a peer of his that had come to Falcon Pointe, come out and found love. He is hoping Trent can, at least, be a friend to help him along the way.

He likes the men at 959 Benton Street and is happy to get a room there. He likes one of the roommates but isn’t sure he would be interested in an inexperienced young man besides he is sure David is the one straight one at the house.

I love the diversity of these characters. I especially liked David’s difference and how it was handled in the story. When I began reading I felt the story was very similar to the first, and then once we got established, it changed up a lot. There are some Amish issues, family issues, but this one is more character driven with life issues. I also thought this one had a little less angst and, of course, it’s a beautifully written sweet romance.

If you like the Amish, unique characters, coming out, gay weddings, discipline lifestyles, cute puppies and, of course, don’t forget some hot man-sex, I think you will really like this series.

I do suggest you read them in order, so you know who all these characters are.

Review: Heath has just graduated Yale. His parents have his life planned. They want him to work for his father and get married and have children to carry on their name. They even have a sweet girl they like chosen for him. They are giving him a choice of his job, but he has to choose after the summer.

His friend Frankie takes him out to celebrate his birthday. He thinks he has found a place perfect for Heath. It is a speakeasy for like-minded men like Heath. Though Frankie brought him there to meet up with Heaths college crush Julian, Heath quickly fell for the owner. In a time of prohibition and when it’s dangerous for gay men can have this relationship last or will Heath chooses to follow his parent’s wishes.

Speakeasy a beautifully written story of the prohibition eras which is my favorite historical period. Suzy Ingold does an excellent job giving the book that nostalgic feel. Speakeasy is character driven as we follow Heath through his summer and his decisions. It’s very clean with no sex, but a beautiful, bittersweet romance with a satisfying ending.

If you like the 1920 prohibition era, coming of age, new adult, clean stories, I think you will like this one!

Review: Yay for us Gray, Jack, and Mason fans! They are back and hotter than ever! Gray is now a detective and the public face of the department, which he hates. Gray is a big, tough, growly bear of a man, so, this was a bit funny and awesome at the same time.

We also get a bit of Gray’s past. We get to see through Gray’s tough police officer, and strong Dom, almost unreal, personality and see the man there. And WHAT A MAN! (You can probably see I am a big Gray fangirl!)

The story is scorching hot. If you have read any of Silvia Violet, you know what I mean. There is sex scene after sex scene, but there is also an action plot…this is a case that has Gray rattled, and an emotional plot—Gray worrying about losing his men by not showing his feelings enough.

Though I think that is rubbish, he shows them plenty how much he loves them. (Here I go again singing Gray’s praise!) I couldn’t put it down once I started!

I thought the plot was good. It had lots of action and kept me on the edge of my seat, was a bit morbid, though. I also adore Mason and Jack, and the scenes of them were amazing.

Now for the sex. Going Deep is a ménage story. Jack Mason and Gray are committed to each other. Menage and threesomes aren’t my favorite, but I would fight to read Silvia Violet’s. She has a way of showing each man’s feelings, showing a relationship of any kind takes work, and each scene is unique and doesn’t get tiresome.

Going Deep is a series and does need to be read in order, at least, the first book, so you know who the characters are and how they got to be a threesome.

If you like ménage, spanking, D/s, bondage, other kinks, police officers, detectives, firefighters, bartenders, sexy bears, fetishes, a great romance and some scorching hot man-sex, then this is for you.

For By Grace by Adrian J. Smith

514NbJ1tanL._SX310_BO1,204,203,200_Title: For by Grace
Series: Spirit of Grace 01
Author: Adrian J. Smith
Genre: FF Romantic Suspense
Length: 25 pages
Publisher: Supposed Crimes (June 1st 2014)
Heat Level: Low
Heart Rating: ♥♥♥ 3 Hearts
Blurb: Being a Sheriff’s Deputy is not all about saving lives and arresting criminals, and each day Grace wonders if she’ll make it home.

While kids at the schools Deputy Grace Halling visits see her as the knight in blue-cotton armor, people involved in the cases she is dispatched to have a different opinion. She has every confidence in her ability to do her job and arrest criminals. She easily takes down a knife-wielding woman and a drunken combatant teenager without hesitation. Everyone—victim, suspect, or witness—has a story to tell or to lie about, and Grace is never perturbed by their tales.

That all changes when she looks down the barrel of a gun. She loses confidence in her ability as a deputy, she loses trust in herself and fellow officers, and she struggles to stay afloat as shift after shift passes. Grace cannot find her rhythm of being a deputy again. And when the Police Chaplain unexpectedly barges into her life, her personal and professional lives are flipped upside down.

Grace struggles to find even ground, worrying that the next time she stares a murderer in the face will be the last.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: NOTE: This is a Police procedural and not a romance.

Grace is a female police officer whose past hasn’t always been the best. She has many friends on the force and isn’t out. She meets Amya the new chaplain and her life personal life changes. Will this affect t her job?

For me, the story starts out a bit slow as each chapter is basically a day by day accounting of her day at work. Sometimes minute by minute, move by move. I felt the description was a bit too much at times.

Now having said that. This is a pretty good beginning of a series. I really liked Graces character, and I think that was the saving Grace to this story (pun intended). There are some good stories in her daily tales that are heartwarming and show how concerned and caring Grace is.

I would have liked more of her relationship with Amya and Grace and more about how she met Crystal and their friendship as well. I guess I am saying I would have liked more of her personal life.

The ending was quite a dramatic and wow was I am not expecting that! I have to read the next one now, for sure!

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts
Blurb: When Kris Cerny walks back into Two Spirits, the art gallery he owns with Josh McPhee, all he wants is a clean break. Austin’s booming real estate market means the building he bought years ago is worth a fortune, and with the sale, he and Josh can finally go their separate ways. They won’t be reconciling, right? Josh may be sober now, but an addict is always going to be an addict, and Kris can’t take that chance again.

Josh isn’t willing to sell. Not yet. He’s discovered a new artist in Santa Fe he knows will put Two Spirits in the black, and if he can just make a success of the gallery, maybe he can earn Kris’s respect, if not recapture his love. He needs Kris to give him time for one more buying trip, one more gallery show. Josh wants nothing more than a final chance to make things right. Kris agrees to let Josh have this last ditch effort on one condition– he wants to go along for the ride.

On the way Josh hopes they’ll find the next big thing in the art world as well as peace, forgiveness, and love he thought was lost forever.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Josh admits he is an alcoholic. He has been clean and sober for five years. The gallery is just beginning to come around when Kris walks in telling Josh he is going to sell the building. When Josh asks for a chance to bring in a newly discovered artist and prove he can make the gallery work, Kris agrees. Kris also goes along. The trip brings them closer together, but Josh just when Josh thinks things are looking up for both the gallery and his love life it all comes crashing down around him.

A hot cowboy, a sexy artist, an angsty romance written in BA Tortuga’s unique style? Win! Win! Win! As usual, BA has outdone herself in unique characters. I loved every single one of them right down to the dogs! The storyline had some angst, a great plot, dealt with a significant social issue and still was quite a humorous as well. I nearly forgot to mention the beautiful settings in New Mexico, the fabulous food, the gallery, the B&B they stay at. Yes, so many cool settings!

I sat on the edge of my seat nibbling my nails to see how this was going to come out. There were quite a few surprises.

I can’t wait to see which man or men the next book will be about.

Callum’s Fate

by

Dianne Hartsock

In 1780, Scotland, following a harsh year of drought, Callum Mackenzie is forced from his father’s farm in the hopes of finding work.

But as fate would have it, Callum is lured onto the moors by the will-o-the-wisp. Lost in the dark, he falls into enchantment, encountering faeries and nymphs, until he stumbles into the arms of a licentious Barrow-Wight who lays claim to his soul.

Hearing his silent pleas, Donal sends Liam the gruagach (faery) to rescue Callum and bring him to his farm, a place of refuge from the Fae.

Callum is happy working on Donal’s farm, slowly falling in love with the beautiful, silver-haired gruagach.

Yet there’s something wrong in the nearby forest….

Despite Donal’s warnings, Callum is lured into the forest and becomes tangled in its magic, easy prey for the Barrow-Wight.
