More Than Just a Good Book by Sloan Parker (5 Stars)

Feb5

Two older college students finally find the perfect boyfriend in each other, but first they have to work through some issues to get their happy ending.

Mark is looking forward to graduating from college and moving as far away as he can due to his poor relationship with his family. Scott will be starting graduate school soon, but doesn’t want to move too far away from his Dad. This is one of the major barriers that they need to get past if they want to stay together. They also have to deal with bullies, Mark’s controlling personality, and other school related items.

I liked Scott and Mark and thought they worked well together as a couple. They both love to read, and seemed to enjoy spending time together. Scott was a loner who lived in his world of books, but he didn’t actually come across as lonely. Mark has a pretty vibrant personality, and he was also very interested in taking care of people. There were a few times that they acted a bit immature, but they were quick to admit they were wrong and move forward. Considering neither of them had really been in a good relationship in the past, this made the story feel much more realistic.

The sex was smoking hot and plentiful, but it didn’t overwhelm the story. They were both into light bondage and spanking, making the story pretty erotic. Mark is somewhat insecure with his need to dominate another man, and it was interesting to watch him work through his desires. Mark is controlling outside of the bedroom, too, which Scott didn’t seem to mind. However, at the same time, Scott didn’t let Mark get away with anything he didn’t want him to.

I also loved Scott’s dad, and the strong relationship that they had. He played a pivotal role in the story in a good way. The epilogue was perfect, and their gifts to each other were so romantic.

Enjoyable, erotic story about older college students working through life’s challenges together.

Feb1

Two shifters fall in love based on an incorrect assumption. Can their love survive when the truth comes out?

Ori is a fledgling looking forward to his full transformation into a duck. He’s living and working with a group of other avian shifters, but the other shifters are physically and emotionally abusing him. Fortunately, most of the abuse is described during flashbacks with minimal detail.

Raynard recently lost his uncle and is now responsible for taking over all of his business dealings. He’s beyond angry at Ori’s treatment, and decides to take Ori in as his own servant. They quickly settle into a beautiful, loving relationship as Raynard discovers Ori is the perfect submissive for him. Ori would do anything for Raynard and the feelings are mutual. These two take care of each other in so many ways. Ori creates a true home for Raynard, while Raynard protects Ori and builds his self-confidence.

As certain events unfold, Raynard makes a sacrifice out of his pure love for Ori. Although my heart was breaking, and tears were streaming down my face, I was also touched by their deep love for each other. As always, the author delivers on her promise of a happy ending.

Grey’s Hidden Fire by Draven St. James (3 Stars)

Jan28

It’s a good thing these guys are firemen. The sparks flying between them are non-stop!

Grey Hayes loves his job as a fireman, and he considers most of the men at his station to be his family. Mica Cruz is transferring to the station and hoping for a fresh start. As soon as these two meet, they are immediately attracted to each other. But Grey is straight, or at least he thinks he is. As Grey and Mica explore their attraction, and Grey comes to grips with the fact that he’s gay, they must also deal with the threats against Mica.

I enjoyed the beginning of this story, especially several of the sex scenes with Mica’s dirty talk. Mica and Grey are both really nice guys, and they love their jobs. It was great to see them spend time with the other firefighters and get an idea of life in the firehouse. I loved the camaraderie between all of the guys and thought it gave some warmth to the story. There wasn’t really a lot of relationship building or heavy conversations taking place. It seemed like every time there was an opportunity to have a discussion, sex took precedence. The suspense angle allowed for them to spend more time together and move their relationship forward even faster.

If you’re looking for a heavy erotic romance with sexy firemen and a little suspense, this should make for a fun romp.

Taxes and TARDIS by N.R. Walker (4.5 Stars)

Jan23

A sweet and sexy story about an accountant and an electrician who meet and fall in love. The blurb suggests this is an “opposites attract” story, but the characters didn’t come across as opposites to me. Instead, they were both very nice, hard-working guys who played well together through plenty of sexy scenes and just spending hanging out. The sex scenes were very sensual and well-written. I loved Brent and his voice carried the story, but I wish Logan’s character was developed a bit more.
