Warning! Deep Water - A.L. Lester

Genre: Historical, Romance LGBTQ+ Category: Gay Reviewer: Maryann Get It On Amazon About The Book It’s 1947. George is going through the motions, sowing seeds and tending plants and harvesting crops.

Finding a place with heated greenhouses and plenty of nooks and crannies to kip in while he’s … Read more

REVIEW: A Kiss to Revive Me – Michele Notaro

by
A Kiss to Revive Me - Michele Notaro

Genre: Fantasy, Gay Romance LGBTQ+ Category: Gay Reviewer: Maryann Get It On Amazon About The Book A prickly mage has me under his spell, and I think I kinda like it. The first time I met him, I knew I was in trouble, but I hadn’t known just how much. I hadn’t been looking for a relationship, hadn’t wanted one, but it seems that a stubborn little mage did it for me because he’s impossible to resist. When the NHSO goes on a manhunt for an unregistered mage, I can tell it’s upsetting for Mads and Jude. It’s upsetting for me, too, but even more so when I find out … Read more

As they begin to rebuild their world, their feelings for each other deepen. But Franklin … Read more

REVIEW: The Scars That Bind Us – Michele Notaro

by
The Scars That Bind Us - Michelle Notaro

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Romance LGBTQ+ Category: Gay, Bi, Demi, Non-Binary (secondary character) Reviewer: Maryann Get It On Amazon About The Book What kind of mage would be crazy enough to crush on a shifter? Me. Apparently me. The world is a messed-up place. Especially for those of us who have magic, and I know just how terrible it can be firsthand. Which is one of the reasons I try to stay away from people… humans and shifters especially. Unfortunately, the NHSO forces magi to work alongside shifters to help protect the humans from taragorians—scary beasts from another realm. Which means I’m thrown onto a new team and forced to work … Read more

by
The Drunken Dog - Ofelia Grand

Genre: Paranormal, Shifters, Vampires, Rockstar, Gay Romance LGBTQ+ Category: Gay Reviewer: Maryann Get It On Amazon About The Book Zev Nightfall has a secret. For two years, he’s been the beta in a loosely knitted werewolf pack, but he’s not a werewolf. He’s a crossbreed, part wolf, part fae, which is a death sentence in most packs. That’s not his only problem. One night he meets Otis, a vampire. Shifters and vampires aren’t friends, yet fighting is the last thing on Zev’s mind. Otis Miller is in the middle of rebuilding his rockstar persona. Again. A hundred years ago, all he had to do was to move when people started … Read more

REVIEW: Cold Cases and Bitter Enemies – J.M. Dabney

by
Cold Cases and Bitter Enemies - J.M. Dabney

Genre: Mystery, Police Procedural, Romance LGBTQ+ Category: Gay, Pan, Ace Reviewer: Maryann Get It On Amazon About The Book An unknown enemy wanted to take everything from us. Graves I’d spent all my forty-plus years paying for mistakes when I’d simply been human. Living in the shadow of my friend’s happiness grew harder every day. I didn’t mind being the odd one out. I didn’t mind being considered the unlovable strait-laced-ish one to their mayhem. Acceptance after a lifetime of not measuring up was nice. I’d found my rhythm and my place among the weirdness of my unit. That was until Marcel Douglas, the new ego-maniac in Homicide, decided he … Read more
