 A Valet’s Duty

 by

H. Lewis-Foster

At the turn of the twentieth century, Henry Simpkins is a valet at Taverslow, the Earl of Wayshaw’s Somerset home. When the Earl’s younger brother, Rafe, arrives from his villa in Italy, Henry is given the task of caring for his mischievous dogs, Pepe and Paolo. As part of his duties, he also goes to Rafe’s room each night to tidy away his clothes.

One night, Rafe tentatively asks Henry to go beyond his valet duties to relieve Rafe’s sexual tensions. Henry enjoys their increasingly intimate encounters, but he’s soon disturbed to find he feels more for Rafe than mere physical attraction.

Now, Henry faces a difficult decision. Can he remain in the same house as Rafe if his affections are not returned?

 The Bells of Times Square

 by

Amy Lane

Every New Year’s Eve since 1946, Nate Meyer has ventured alone to Times Square to listen for the ghostly church bells he and his long-lost wartime lover vowed to hear together. This year, however, his grandson Blaine is pushing Nate through the Manhattan streets, revealing his secrets to his silent, stroke-stricken grandfather.

When Blaine introduces his boyfriend to his beloved grandfather, he has no idea that Nate holds a similar secret. As they endure the chilly death of the old year, Nate is drawn back in memory to a much earlier time . . . and to Walter.

Long before, in a peace carefully crafted in the heart of wartime tumult, Nate and Walter forged a loving home in the midst of violence and chaos. But nothing in war is permanent, and now all Nate has is memories of a man his family never knew existed. And a hope that he’ll finally hear the church bells that will unite everybody—including the lovers who hid the best and most sacred parts of their hearts.

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥3Hearts

Blurb: Discover the exciting, supernatural community of Cogworks in Angelique Voisen’s new paranormal, Steampunk romance, Defective Desires. Caught between the boss he can no longer trust and the vampire he is trying to not fall head-over-heels for, one defective werewolf needs to find answers or they are all doomed … and time is not on his side.

Anemic vampire Codrick Conell Cornelius didn’t know that a blind date would lead to a near-death experience from a burning dirigible. If the fall doesn’t kill his near-human body, the gorgeous Biff Buffington will.

Cod has endured centuries of humiliation being the last vampire of his cursed line. When he finds out the local supernatural community wants him dead, he has nowhere else to go. When Biff offers him an unlikely alliance, Cod is terrified of trusting a man who’s able to turn his knees into jelly and set his heart ablaze.

A werewolf that’s unable to shift doesn’t amount to much in any wolf pack. Abandoned and left to fend for himself, Biff figures that when life hurls lemons at him, he’ll make lemonade. Making a living hunting down rogue supernaturals has more than its share of benefits and enemies. When Biff’s betrayed by his bosses, the last person he’d expect to help him is an anemic vampire. He wants this fiasco done and over with, but his wolf stubbornly believes Cod is his fated mate.

When a prophecy threatens to shake the very foundations of the supernatural community in the Cogworks, can two supernatural defects put aside their confusing feelings for each other in order to stay alive?

Reviewer: GiGi

Review: An interesting imagining of a Steampunk world, ruled by cogs, floating cities, and air ship transport. A world where there are many paranormals, but of course different species should not breed, and among those there are different classes.

Cod was a perfect character to dislike right off the bat as intended, but I never did warm up to him. Bif seemed rather shallow and diffident too. I really hope this was not an attempt to write in the style of Christopher Moore, because if so, it fails.

I think there was supposed to be humor here. There is some good action in attempts to go unnoticed and to escape capture. The sex scenes are a bit predictable, not really unique, but fun.

My attention was piqued at the blurb, but there was more intrigue in that, than in the short story itself.

Reviewer: GiGi

Review: Had to wrap my head around this one! I really do enjoy a bit of kink, BDSM, if written well, really turns my crank, but this took some imagination on my part! If you’re read Buchanan before, and specifically enjoy the Deputy Joe series, I think you’ll groove to this.

Russ and Bishop have a past, and details and emotions are slowly spilled out as the story, and the drama at the youth detainment camp develops. It’s a shorter story than Jame’s others, so I felt it was a rather quick transition from Bishop’s day job persona to his role as Russ’ pony, specifically his unbroken, skittish mustang. The details about gear, or tack, help me imagine the transition better, but it’s still a bit difficult to imagine a group being into strictly pony play kink, and not involving other fetish play too.

I’ve been around horses all my life, have owned several throughout the decades, and the author does a good job of getting Bishop to think like a horse, strike out like a horse, even spook like a horse! But I still balked at the sexual stimulus here, specifically the sheath, making the individual ponyboy hung like a horse, I kind of get, but then in another scene, Russ fucks him with it and I lost the connection. I even looked up the horse/phallic sheaths to get a better idea of what was going on in the scenes. It’s little stuff, and maybe because it takes so much to put my head in that space, it didn’t work for me, but might light someone else’s fire.

Now the plot involving the youth camp, troubled kids, how frustrating the system can be, and the missing boy…that was interesting and grabbed my attention. I work with some PO’s and do group activities for troubled kids, so I understand the drive, and the sad, frustrating reality of recidivism. I like how the author sheds light on this, and how important the job is even if only a handful of kids change their lives and take a new direction.

Overall, an interesting, very kinky, quick read. Happy to have new material from James Buchanan!

Bad Behavior by K.A. Mitchell

Heat Level: Explicit

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥4Hearts

Blurb: In a life full of yes, no is the sexiest word he’s ever heard.

David Beauchamp might as well be in jail. After one too many misunderstandings with the law, he’s chained to the city by the GPS and alcohol sensor strapped to his ankle. Awaiting trial, cut off from usual forms of entertainment, he goes looking for a nameless sexual encounter—and winds up with almost more than he can handle.

Reality comes crashing back the next day with a summons for another random drug test, and the man behind the badge turns out to be the very man who took him for one hell of a ride.

Probation Officer Tai Fonoti is used to handling other people’s problems, but he’s horrified when one of the clients his boss dumps on him is the sweet piece of ass he screwed the night before. It makes getting a urine sample a pretty loaded situation.

That single encounter left Beach craving Tai’s unique brand of control and discipline. But while Tai relishes laying down the law in the bedroom, the letter of the law stands between them and kinkily ever after.

Warning: This book is kinky. I mean kinky. With lots of sex. It describes a fully consensual, intense D/s relationship, which changes a character’s life. It includes impact play and bondage along the way to a very happily ever after.

Reviewer:GiGi

Review: I love it when a bratty man finds someone to lay down the law! In this case, both figuratively and literally, David “Beach” Beauchamp finds that very man for him. Not only does Tai have a kink for control in the bedroom, he can’t help but let it carry over into all aspects in his life. He trains and controls dangerous creatures, from the probation participants that are part of his job, to a dog rescue with a violent past. Tai’s ability to train and dominate oozes from his pores.

Beach is a player. He doesn’t take relationships, jobs, or his life seriously and rebels at every corner. The only thing keeping him tethered to reality and avoiding another bad decision is his ankle bracelet, ordered by the court; until he meets Tai. From a wealthy background, with a troubled past, we’re painted a picture of a brat who is so careless; he’s starting to pull his friends down with him.

His bathroom trick in a local bar gives him a taste and dominance that’ he’s been subconsciously yearning for, too bad it’s his parole officer he’s craving.

Beach decides to attempt a bit of blackmail with his parole officer only to get shot down with a definite no, to his actions, and his bad behavior. Turns out hearing “no,” is almost as big a turn on as the domination Tai gave him in that bathroom. Soon the two tumble into further exploration of Beach’s need for dominance, that bleeds out of the bedroom and into everyday life.

As Beach explores his need for Tai’s dominance, Tai fears failure the likes of which he recently experienced with his ex. Not only does he question his ability to handle and train Beach, he worries about the trouble he knows he could get into with his job.

The sexual content is very steamy, especially if you like the D/s kink as I do! There are some S/M scenes involving punishment that are difficult for both Tai and David, but really seem to help define their relationship.

Lots and lots of tangles, and twists, especially as Tai uncovers David/Beach’s past. There are many surprises and lots of characters I know come from other books in this adventurous, fast-paced series. I have not read the other Bad in Baltimore books, and I know they would add another level to Mitchell’s storytelling, yet Bad Behavior is written well enough to stand alone.

Definitely worth a read and I look forward to cracking open the other four books in this series too!

Blurb: Before falling madly in love with the boy of his dreams at sixteen, Justin Reed’s childhood had been complicated. Meeting Niall Casey had turned Justin’s life around, and with Niall by his side, Justin felt sure he could cope with whatever the world threw at him.

Ten years on, as Justin and Niall begin to think of marriage and starting their own family, cracks begin to appear in their perfect world. Justin’s father has remarried and this latest addition to the Reed family has some very strange ideas. To make matters worse, Niall’s mother begins to edge her way back into his life. Niall tries hard to believe she has changed but can’t quite leave behind the painful memories of religious intolerance and rejection.

Justin and Niall’s lives are taken over by events they can’t control. Just as it seems that their plans for a family lie in tatters, they are forced to revisit the past and lay some ghosts to rest once and for all.

Reviewer: Gigi

Review: For those who loved Justin and Niall from Breaking Out, it’s going to be a lovely and long journey through marriage and adoption for these two men.

The plot is long and somewhat predictable, following many of the ups and downs of long-term relationships, the stress and excitement of marriage, or civil union, and the life altering decision to adopt children. All the while Justin and Niall are battling family issues with their parents, specifically Niall’s mother, and Justin’s mother in law.

The drama is slow, but there’s lots of love and community support for our guys. I did find myself wanting to skip ahead a bit, but over all a loving story, and maybe a somewhat over imagined familial bliss.

Writing children into a story plot, spending time with them, and making a realistic effort at portraying a child-rearing environment is tricky. Often times writers over idealize it. Life with kids is wonderful, but it’s also painful, frightening, aggravating, stressful, and tiring. I’m expecting a third book, because Niall and Justin have a TON to learn if they think parenting is going to be anything like the blissful, warm, fuzzy wonderful time they spent taking care of their nephew Tom for a week.

Not to rain on this parade. Life is difficult, and characters like Justin and Niall face hurdles so many of us can’t even imagine, so I can’t blame the author for writing a lovely, warm story about relationships and lifelong commitments. Not to say everything is roses, I’d be arrested for assault if I had a mother in law like Maisie, or a Mom like Niall’s.

A well-written story that satisfies our need to know how Niall and Justin are doing. I hope their journey ahead is full of blessings for them and their two new additions.

Blurb: Wulfstan, a noble and fearsome Saxon warrior, has spent most of his life hiding the fact that he would love to be cherished by someone stronger than himself. Not some slight, beautiful nobody of a harper who pushes him up against a wall and kisses him.

In the aftermath, Wulfstan isn’t sure what he regrets most—that he only punched the churl in the face, or that he really wanted to give in.

Leofgar is determined to prove he’s as much of a man as any Saxon. But now he’s got a bigger problem than a bloody nose. The lord who’s given him shelter from the killing cold is eyeing him like a wolf eyes a wounded hare.

When Wulfstan accidentally kills a friend who is about to blurt his secret, he flees in panic and meets Leofgar, who is on the run from his lord’s lust. Together, pursued by a mother’s curse, they battle guilt, outlaws, and the powers of the underworld, armed only with music…and love that must overcome murderous shame to survive.

Warning: Contains accurate depictions of Vikings, Dark Ages magic, kickass musicians, trope subversions and men who don’t know their place.

Reviewer: Gigi

Review: It’s an interesting enough struggle to be dropped back in time to a land of barbarians, a land where Christianity is fighting to overtake Pagan religions, therefore, cleverly incorporating them. The Viking Berserker is a fighter, a warrior, the strongest of the strong, not a man to mess with…so how can he allow himself not only to fall to his attraction of men, but to his submissive desires as well? So many fabulous struggles, and I love that in my reading pleasures.

This is the emotional and political turmoil that Leofgar stumbles into…and easily ignites that Berserker’s rage. Wulfstain takes out all his frustration on the little musician that not only ignites his ire, but his lust. It’s a game of kiss or kill, and luckily, Leofgar escapes.

When the two come together again, both on the run, they pull together and explode apart many times. Each trying to understand themselves and their attraction, each vying for strength and recognition of their abilities and places in the world.

Through harrowing adventure, escape from killers, fighting for the suppressed, and finally fighting for each other, Wulfstain and Leofgar see that weakness and strength mean many different things, in the world, and to each other. That they each have unique strengths and personal weaknesses and that they complement each other making them stronger together.

The Reluctant Berserker is a long read, but there are many small adventures along the way, keeping the pace steady, and keeping my interest throughout. A fun step back in time, in some cases a historical that plays around with facts a bit, but puts me in another time and place nonetheless.

Reviewer: Gigi

Review: The boss was a total jerk, they get trapped in an elevator, and suddenly they can’t keep their hands off each other?

Compromising Situations is a bit hard to get into, I really tried to grab hold of this story and have some fun with the BDSM element, but it was a bumpy ride.

The writing and dialogue seemed rough, not a natural flow. For those like me, who like to read a bit of kink, this little story may also fall short. Jared and Grant begin to play master/slave games, but in the office, the salve rules the master…or does he…

The sexual scenes could have been so much kinky fun, but felt forced and not in a good way. Compromising Situations has potential, but I think I’d put this one on the bottom the TBR list with so much quality BDSM writing out there.

Reviewer: Gigi

Review: A dramatic little story with an interesting, if a bit uncomfortable, twist!

Promises Made, Memories Kept is a dramatic return home, after the death of a father who couldn’t accept Harry as an open gay son. The return home is painful, regretful, and a bit twisted and even spooky.

The writing is smooth and well-edited. They plot a bit of a cross between Poe, Shakespeare, and Homer, and the sexual content completely secondary if a bit uncomfortable.

A worthwhile read for a short story, and a very strong plot twist!

With Billy’s help, Nate slowly learns what he can and cannot make during the beginning months of their relationship until a family secret from Billy’s past threatens their bond.

Reviewer: Gigi

Review: When I read other reviews, I came to the conclusion that this is a very misunderstood story. How To Make A Carrot Cake really isn’t about vegan lifestyles, it’s about love, powerful love, sacrifice, painful loss and soul shattering life experiences.

One truly must experience what Billy is going through to understand his reactions, his behaviors, and how painful it is to let someone else in. I can’t give the big secret away or it ruins the book, but when you are going through what Billy is, your whole life revolves around it, your life is not your own, you live, eat, sleep and wake according to the other person.

I still to this day do not wear a watch because I had to set my life patterns, and that of the other person, to the face of that watch.

I have lived what Billy did and can feel each event, I understand the effort it takes to let another person in, and wanting to compartmentalize them so you can feel a bit of respite, and then get back to reality. I was so proud of Nate for taking the path he did with Billy, he is a huge hero. You can see this type of decision making in Nate’s character is his true nature, just to observe how he takes care of Marlee, you can see that.

Yes, Nate and Billy cook together, and Billy teaches Nate about vegan cooking. The real issue is not about vegan-ism, but about why people make the life choices they do. What triggers such a big life change and who are they really doing it for, themselves or someone else?

The intimate scenes are good, the ones toward the end are very powerful, but that is not really the meat and potatoes of this book. My only criticism is about the style in which this is written, the he did this, and he did that kind of description gets a bit documentary. I like more showing less telling in writing.

Other than that, How To Make A Carrot Cake is a beautiful, powerful story about the human condition, love, understanding, and sacrifice.

Blurb: When it comes to love, there’s no such thing as traveling light.

Born wealthy and ambitious, Grady once worked hard and played hard—so hard, it brought him to the brink of ruin. Now, after a five-year retreat into the contemplative life, he’s dipping a toe back into the real world.

Assigned to write a series of articles about a Connecticut valley’s small towns, Grady checks into a local hotel. And meets a bellhop who seems determined to show him around…and maybe indulge in a more intimate tour later on.

When Josh’s boss half-jokingly suggests he get on a first-name basis with the writer who could make or break their town’s reputation, Josh jumps at the chance. He dreams of seeing the world, but the man he thought might be his ticket out turns out to be less influential—and more attractive—than he expected.

Together they uncover a strange plot to detour Norcross’s tourist dollars, a plot that leaves Grady bruised and angry. Now they’ll have to decide how far they’ll go to save the town…and how far they’ll fall for each other.

Warning: Steaming-hot room service, delivered by a cute bellboy in uniform. Stolen towels will not be tolerated, but stolen hearts? Help yourself!

Reviewer: Gigi

Review: If you’ve ever served in any small town political capacity, or you’ve had to attend those endless chamber of commerce or city meetings…you will totally relate to this cute, funny little story. If you haven’t ever experienced those duties…you may have a hard time relating, but it’s still cute to see how many hats Josh wears.

Grady just came out of self-imposed solitary living among monks, trying to give up the vice that caused him so much harm. Once on the outside he agrees to help out his cousin, a famous travel writer, by taking this assignment to tour the towns of Norcross and Westbrook, and review for him, under his assumed identity.

If you come form a small town, maybe one with a dying or dead manufacturing past, you understand how important tourism is to the local economy and identity. So the small town of Norcross is investing a lot of time and manpower to make a good impression on Grady, or who they believe to be Geoffrey Michaels. Even to go so far as to pressure their local jack-of-all-trades, Josh, who also happens to be gay, to offer his “personal” touch to the tour.

The gig is quickly up and Josh and Grady realize the pressure they are both under, but still the sparks fly, the chemistry boils over and a love affair quickly ignites. The two also figure out what Grady’s cousin was going for when he mentioned to Grady that he must “loathe Norcross” and write about it. A bitter feud between two small towns, plus money and corruption soon uncover a plot to destroy Norcross businesses and reputation, and take opportunity away from this small valley town…

I never thought small town politics could be fun and sexy, but Summer Devon makes this twisted romance a great hub to spin this story out from. Again, it packs a bigger punch if you have civic service experience, but is still charming without it.

p.s. I do so love that bartender…Uncle Jackson. I need a bigger T-shirt collection…
