Blurb: So much for retirement.

Now that my psycho arch enemy Julio is dead, my big plan was to slowly stop taking jobs and wind down into retirement with Dillon. Partly that decision was because my heart’s not in the job anymore, but mostly it’s because I did a dumb thing and fell in love with the guy in 39D. But it’s too late to turn back now, I can’t imagine my life without Dillon in it.

Unfortunately, my good friend Ronin just got grabbed by Julio’s successor. I owe Ronin too much to turn my back on him. I need to get to Germany ASAP and save his ass, like he’s saved mine many times before.

The problem is, Dillon refuses to stay behind. How am I going to rescue my best friend, and keep the love of my life alive too? Dillon’s a civilian. He has no idea the level of violence and danger ahead of us. He doesn’t understand that with him along, the chances of me dying are much higher.

I may not it out alive this time, but one things for sure, Dillon will. I’ll see to that.

Review: Ronin has been abducted and Gianni needed their help. Marc would do anything to get his friend back but had not intended for Dillon to help. They were going to rescue a friend from a crazy ass bitch. However there are traitors among them. The problem is Ronin and Marc are assassins, but Dillon and Gianni are not. So what does an assassin do when their boyfriends want to help.

This is one of those series that you have to read them back to back with no time in between. It just jumps right into the action without any warning. Also these guys might be cute but damn they have more problems then a shrink can get to. Neither one seems to trust the other although they say different. Marc is a complete asshat to Dillon and Gianni. He had called in for some help but all these big bad assassins are missing one small item, a young college age looking delivery driver. The story is jumbled up and I didn’t care for the dual voices in the story. One minute it is Marc talking then the next it is Dillon, and lets face it, it just does not work out the way it should have.

There is a lot of danger and suspense going on but it went to fast. I just could not connect at all with this story and to be honest I could not really stand it. I will say that it is a good story but the way it is told not so much. I will say that it will probably not be read more than once.

S.C. Wynne

Life hasn’t been good to Francis Murphy. He’s survived twenty-one years of homelessness by hooking and taking handouts where he can find them. When the local shelter is vandalized, he’s forced to seek food at the Grace and Light Church, where he runs into the pastor’s son, Randy.

Randy Wright believes the best in others. He’s immediately drawn to Francis, even though Francis is hardened and wary. When Francis is attacked by one of his johns, Randy and his family take him in and offer him temporary work. Randy always thought he was straight, but something about Francis has him yearning for more than just friendship, and realizing he might be bisexual.

Francis is attracted to Randy too, and Randy and his parents say they’ve always believed in gay rights. But talk is cheap. What are the odds that these Christian parents will remain open-minded when it’s their own son in a relationship with another man?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: There are not many books out there that involve the same couple that can keep my attention for very long. Maybe it is the assassin part, or the danger and excitement, or even the sexy men involved but this is one of my favorite mystery series. There is just something about how this author not only gives you a world that is captivating but characters that are close to the heart. Although I do wish I could find one of my own.

Marc is a sexy assassin who at one time had his lover in his own crosshairs, now he would do everything in his power to keep his man safe. There is so many out there that wants to end his life that they are always running for safety it would seem. A romantic trip to Italy was supposed to bring them together but they are in danger once more.

These two take miscommunication to a whole new level. Marc is not very sociable whereas Dillon is very friendly and loving. Dillon has problems with the inability to figure out the man he loves.

I absolutely have a blast reading their stories which for me is saying something. I do not much care for books that continually have a cliff hanger at the end not the fact that the same romantic couple is involved.

However with the way this book just comes across, I could read about these guys all day and every day.

This is one of those series that I would definitely read more than once. I had so much fun reading this and would recommend reading it. It is so action packed and fast paced that you wouldn’t be bored at all.

Blurb: Avery Syracuse is a New York transplant with the Skeenville Fire Department. He’s a little rough around the edges, but loveable and loyal. Down on his luck in the romance department, he could use some help with the bills and is looking for a roommate when Luke Turner arrives.

Luke is one of the best firemen Avery has ever seen, and it doesn’t make sense for Luke to be wasting his time in Skeenville. The two men have an instant connection both men know is worth exploring. As they set about igniting the fire between them, at home, at the station, up against the engine—it really doesn’t seem to matter—a connection far deeper than physical begins to emerge.

However, these two men are going to have to trust each other enough to move beyond old hurts and buried secrets if they want to maintain a partnership—both at the station and at home.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is a very compelling story that just grabbed my attention from the start. It is a fascinating story that I wished was longer. I want to know more about Luke and Avery, what their future will be like. It is as if I was just teased with this story. It left me hungering for more than just this little taste.

Avery had just broken up with his boyfriend of six months for cheating on him. All he wanted to do is to forget, the problem was that they hung out at the same bar. Avery is a fire fighter and his looser boyfriend was a cop. However walking in to see his men, he ended up meeting the newest member of the team. A gorgeous man, Luke had a past that would bring anyone down to their knees. Avery has his work cut out for him, if he is going to see what they have between them. Cause let me tell you, these two are hot and very tempting.

I am not really sure about how it is to be gay nor male, but I have a problem with the fact that a straight man all of a sudden wants a man. It seems a bit strange for me. However it didn’t side track me one bit from this book, and in fact made it even spicier. To know that Luke is about to have sex with a man for the first time is very hot.

I would recommend reading this story. It gave me everything I could want in it. Gorgeous men, sexy fire fighters, a bit of anger and pain, dangerous situations and some hot sex. What could be better than that?

Blurb: When Peter Thompson’s best buddy, Brandon Ray discovers there’s a fraternity in town willing to pay two hundred dollars to anyone who spends Halloween night in old Scarborough Manor, he drags Peter and dorm oddball, Creepy Connor along to keep him company.

It isn’t long before the boys figure out why no one has ever lasted the entire night in the terrifying place. Peter and his pals can only hope they’ll live to regret their decision.

Reviewer: Tams

Review: Short, Scary, and just Steamy enough to be great.
Brandon loads his car up with candy and booze and heads to the local “Haunted House” on Halloween night with his roommate Peter and loner Connor in hopes of winning a couple hundred dollars.

All they have to do is spend the night in the basement of said house and take a picture with the angel statue that is there. The house is beyond creepy, and cold, but what really sets this trio off is when they take a look back at their selfies with the required angel only to see something truly evil.

First Brandon goes missing, and then they find a seriously fiendish doll in the attic just before they receive a visit from a couple of ghosts. Peter and Connor decide to hold up in the basement, hoping Brandon is playing a trick on them.

The evenings events quickly catch up with Peter and he drifts off wrapped up in a warm sleeping bag, and Connor’s arms. What they share has to be a dream, right? Peter will be sure to ask Connor, if they can find their friend and make it out of Scarborough Manor alive.

What a fast, fun little scary story! The setup was spectacular; three would be dumb college kids getting drunk and bingeing on junk food then passing out and waking up two hundred dollars richer. Aside from the demonic angel statue, a couple pestering poltergeist, a fucking psycho doll worthy of casting in Annabelle and an ages old entity that is pure evil… it really was a solid plan.

I loved the mystery off the story, where was Brandon? Who were the ghosts? Were they helping or hindering? And the romance was the perfect balance amid the storm inside this house of horror.

A must read for fans of spooky stuff with a bit of romance sprinkled in there to ground the overall story.

Blurb: Cory Johnson was just twenty when he fled Bayville, following his father’s suicide. Estranged from his abusive mother, he’s made a new life for himself as a successful lawyer in Los Angeles.

When Cory’s mother dies, he grudgingly returns to his hometown to handle the estate. Rhys Tucker owns the construction company that is going to renovate Cory’s childhood home. But Cory is unaware that Rhys has harbored a crush on him since they were in high school. When Cory comes home, Rhys takes that opportunity to get close to Cory. Or at least try to.

Their physical chemistry is undeniable, but will Cory ever be able to have a real relationship with Rhys after being so emotionally scarred by his past? Can a heart as damaged as Cory’s every really come home?

Product Link: http://www.loose-id.com/damaged-heart.html

Reviewer: Tams

Review: Cory Johnson has returned home in the wake of his mother’s death to tie up loose ends. He is less than pleased to be back in Bayville, as much of his childhood he can remember wasn’t nice, and he wants nothing more than to distance himself from this place as quickly as possible. Until he meets a former classmate at the hotel restaurant. Rhys remembers more of Cory than Cory does of him, and sets out to remind Cory who he was, and give him a reason to stay in Bayville.

The damage from Cory’s past goes deeper than Rhys initially thought, and Cory is hell-bent on returning to LA, regardless of what develops between him and Rhys. Can Rhys’s love repair some of the damage that is permanently etched into Cory’s soul?

I have to give it to Wynne. I literally felt Cory’s pain throughout this story, his seemingly unnatural almost allergic reaction to Bayville because of his past. But I didn’t feel like that past was explored as well as it could have been. I was waiting for a huge revelation that never came.

The push and pull between Cory and Rhys was borderline too much as well. For the most part, I understood why Cory struggled with being loved, he is still young and spent more of his life in hell than he has in LA, but there came a point where I just wanted Rhys to walk away.

This was just an okay read for me. If you like, stories that have that constant push/pull and a struggle to find happiness, then you’ll probably enjoy this read.

Blurb: Griffen Rodgers has a fulfilling career he loves and a partnership with a man who makes him happy. Still, despite a life most people only dream of, Griffin is convinced that monogamy is for fools and it’s forced his lover of three years, Leandro, to question their commitment.

A sexy new boss, Rykar Sloan, arrives on the job and things get a little more complicated for Griffen. Will Griffin’s attraction to the new boss lead him down a road of temptation and regret, or will it reinforce his bond with Leandro, the man he may just want to spend the rest of his life with?
Be Warned: m/m sex, multiple partners

Purchase Link: http://www.evernightpublishing.com/the-new-boss-by-s-c-wynne/
Review: Griffen is content with his life. He has his dream job, a decent place to live and a hot sexy man whenever he needs a date or a lay. He and Leandro have been seeing each other for a few years. Griffen likes Leandro and really enjoys the sex and likes the fact he has a sex buddy whenever he needs one without going to bars or searching for hook-ups. Griffen doesn’t want a relationship though he works so hard he hasn’t realized he has only been seeing Leandro.

Ryker, Griffen’s new boss, is extremely hot and sexy and makes no bones that he wants Griffen. Griffen is enticed by the new boss but Leandro is acting strange lately. Ryker makes some changes at work for the better, but will Ryker be more than Griffen’s new boss?

This is a good short story. Its fast- paced, complete, doesn’t have a rushed feel and is very hot and sexy. I will say I did not like Griffen. I found him very self-centred and inconsiderate of others feelings. Well, Leandro’s feelings. I did love Leandro a lot though. I also will say I loved the ending of this story. The author had me fooled for a bit, but left I’m happy and panting. Great job! I will be looking for more stories by S. C Wayne.

I recommend this story to anyone looking for a short fast read to fill in an hour or so, hot sexy men and satisfying ending. Of course some hot mansex that isn’t over explicit.

Blurb: Liam Carlington is a spoiled rich kid. He’s been acting out since his childhood love, Paul, devastated him by marrying a woman. He drops out of school in favor of drinking and partying too much. When his current bodyguard is injured in a bar fight, a new bodyguard replaces him.

His new protector, Scott Jackson, is gorgeous, and tough. He’s attracted to his new charge, and Liam is aggressive about how much he would love to get Scott in bed. But Scott is worried Liam is just using him for a sexual fling.

As much as Scott would love to give in to Liam sexually, he knows there is someone out there who has threatened Liam’s life. It complicates matters that Scott is beginning to lose his professional distance from Liam. He’s not willing to lose another client, but can he really keep Liam safe by staying out of his bed?

Review: Liam Carlington is the supposed spoiled rich kid. He frequents bars and gets ripped with his bodyguard, sleeps around, dropped out of college and has no job, but he wants for nothing. In reality, all his bad behaviour stems from a broken heart. His childhood best friend and lover left him, and left Liam devastated in the process. He left college and quit working at his parent’s vineyard because he was seriously depressed after the breakup. When his latest outing ends with his bodyguard being stabbed while protecting him, Liam gets a new bodyguard. And in the process of dealing with another loss, he might just find the one thing that can help him heal.

Scott Jackson is tall, blonde and gorgeous. His good looks, seriousness and take-charge attitude catch Liam’s eye immediately. But the harder Liam flirts the harder Scott rebuffs his young charge. Scott assumes there is no way to protect Liam and share his bed. Scott is also hiding a few secrets from Liam, about his past and he’s not being entirely honest with Liam about the reason he was hired to protect him. The two men are put in harm’s way more than once, and every time they end up face to face with each other.
In a moment of weakness aided by alcohol and an intense mutual attraction, Liam and Scott take their relationship to the next level. But broken hearts, misguided trust and a psycho definitely put a damper on things.

Let me start by saying, Cover Love! The cover and the synopsis drew me to this story like a magnet. This story had just the right mix of mystery, romance, angst and detailed character storylines for a novella. My biggest issue was the anti climatic ending. While I had a pretty good idea of who the bad guy was early on, the story still kept me intrigued and the relentless flirting of Liam with Scott made this book so much fun. But when the shit hit the fan, so to speak, it was too easy.

Overall, this was a fast, fun read with a lot of meat on its bones for so few pages. I look forward to the sequel and seeing where Wynne takes these characters with the sequel.

Blurb: Senior Financial Analyst, Taylor Williams survived the embezzling scare at his firm, Peterton Financial, with the help of the gorgeous new Regional Manager, Phillip Daniels. Although Phillip suspected Taylor at first, their undeniable chemistry soon cut through those unfounded suspicions. 

Now the two of them have embarked on a passionate sexual relationship during the holiday break. Holidays should be relaxing, stress free, but when you throw in ex-boyfriends, snowstorms and bears, things get a little messy, and you might need to be a hard-ass just to get through them.

Purchase Link:   http://www.loose-id.com/hard-ass-christmas.html

Review: This book begins where its predecessor ends.  Taylor and Phillip have just begun their relationship and are now going away on vacation. There is a clear indication that Phillip is clearly invested in the relationship, but Taylor is still afraid of being too open with Phillip because the relationship is so new. Phillip doesn’t want to rock the boat and his issues from the prequel bleed into this book. As such, he keeps some information about his former boyfriend secret and this leads to an argument, a walkout and then an accident.

Phillip and Taylor end up stranded in the snow and they must rely on each other to survive despite a very annoying bear who’s trying to make life difficult for everyone. Fortunately, Taylor and Phillip have hardy outdoorsy friends who will rescue them and take them back to civilization where they can work on their communication skills, which will help to improve their relationship.

Once the high-octane struggle to survive ends, the men once again settle into seeing where their relationship will head.  I’d be curious to follow-up with these boys on Valentine’s Day to see what sixty days of a relationship has done with them.
