Review: Dirty Job – TA Moore

Genre: Suspense LGBTQ+ Category: Gay Reviewer: Maryann Get It On Amazon About The Book All Grade Pulaski wanted was a quiet life, a few low-profile murders to clean up after, and his hometown in the rear view as he headed back to LA. Simple, attainable goals. All he had to do was keep his nose down and everyone else’s hands clean…as far as the law was concerned…and he’d been able to show Sweeny his heels sooner rather than later. Problem was that Grade’s ‘thing’ with local mob boss Clay Traynor—currently somewhere between a one-night stand and a bad idea—was a lot of things, but it wasn’t quiet or simple. For … Read more

Out of Bounds - F. A. Ray

Genre: Sports, Romance, Contemporary LGBTQ+ Category: Gay Reviewer: Xanthe, Paranormal Romance Guild Get It On Amazon About The Book Keith Russo is just a marketing guy looking to make the nights a little less lonely when he calls up the sex hotline.
