Sweet Queer Supernatural Romance

Match With the Demon by Chace Verity

by 2 Comments

I saw Emmalita’s positive review of this and decided to pick it up — I’d never read anything by Chace Verity and it’s been a while since I read any romance outside of fanfic, so this was a bit of a random read. But it was very sweet and cozy, which is the type of book I was in the mood for. I breezed through it and enjoyed it. Match With the Demon follows Harrison, a single dad whose son Justin just left for college. Harrison […]

Sexy, gay version of an American falling in love with a British royal

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

by 1 Comment

Red, White & Royal Blue has been on my to read list for a while as Cannonballers have steadily given it positive praise.  Happy to report it did not disappoint.  I do enjoy an enemies to lovers story and McQuiston delivers with Alex Claremont Diaz, son of the first female President of the United States, and Henry, Prince of Wales.  Set in a fictional 2020 (that I would very much like to trade for our own 2020), Alex is in his final year of college, […]

“Well someone has to marry him, said the Emperor.” Part space opera, mystery, and romance, all of it captivating.

Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell

by 10 Comments

Winter’s Orbit came on to my radar through Cannonballers and then I noticed my independent bookstore featuring it as a staff pick for Pride month.  It went on my book wish list and I got it for my birthday! In the far distant future there are multiple galactic civilizations and they are all connected through ‘the link network’ governed by the Resolution.  Trade happens through the link and having the Resolution in place means that no invading force can use the link to attack another […]

How to Vex a Vampire by Alice Winters

by 1 Comment

  How to Vex a Vampire by Alice Winters reads like a cross between a script for Will & Grace and an early Laurell K. Hamilton novel, with a side of True Blood thrown in for good measure. Honestly, I can’t decide if I love it or hate it. Maybe a bit of both. Finnigan is an enormous flirt who is apparently a wee little man blessed with the capability to make just about anyone like him. He’s also a human homicide cop who has […]

Lucy Lennox is a prolific ebook author of m/m gay romance. She has written two series, Made Marian and Forever Wilde, about two huge families filled with gay men. She has also collaborated with other authors on several standalone series. I’ve read them all, and rather than review them individually I decided to just review each series. This is her first series, Made Marian. It centers on the Marian family from San Francisco. The Marians have six biological children, three of whom are gay. When […]

Slightly-better-than-average M/M romance

Fired Up by Riley Hart

by 2 Comments

I wanted my first review to be for a book that I really loved, but everything I’ve really loved has already been reviewed here (makes sense, given they were all recommended by Mrs. Julien) so I decided my inaugural post would be for a book I liked well enough… So, “Fired Up.” This is the first book in the Fever Falls series, a shared universe between authors Riley Hart and Devon McCormack. Riley Hart wrote  “Fired Up”, and Devon McCormack wrote book #2, “#Burn” (currently […]
