Review - Screwing the System by Josephine Myles
My rating: 
Alasdair runs a successful cleaning services company and is interviewing candidates to fill more vacancies at his growing business. Cosmo is one of the people he interviews, but the younger man has every intention of failing it, so he can keep benefits and work on his music with the band he belongs to. The two seem like “chalk and cheese”, to use the British expression, yet there’s a mutual attraction that is hard to deny, and when they get together one evening the sparks fly.

My rating:
The author kindly provided an advanced review copy (ARC) of this book in exchange for this review. Ted has been living on the streets for six years, since he was orphaned at 17.

Review - Cabin Boy by Drake LaMarque
My rating:
As the son of the governor of Jamaica, Gideon leads a rather privileged life. However, trouble looms as Gideon’s father insists he choose a girl to marry within the week, but the young man knows he isn’t attracted to women. He decides the best course of action is to run away, so he sneaks out the house early one morning and manages to find a ship to take him on. The captain is a tall muscular imposing figure who displays a curious interest in Gideon, who is also attracted to the first mate as well.
Review - Hard Lessons by Samuel King
My rating:
Smarting from a recent breakup with his boyfriend, Jake thinks a few months in the country tutoring English is exactly what he needs. However, he’s a bit dismayed to find he is very attracted to his prospective employer, Nathan, and even more so when he finds out his student is not Nathan’s son but Nathan himself. Even more surprising is the offer of the job after just a few minutes’ conversation.

Review - The Mystery of the Curiosities by C.S. Poe
My rating:
Things are going rather well for Sebastian Snow. His relationship with detective Calvin Snow is gong along nicely, and the shop is doing well. Unfortunately, the calm is shattered, literally, when someone throws a brick through the front window of the Emporium. That begins a series of escalating events, which includes murders and bombings, that Sebastian can’t help but investigate, despite the warnings and pleadings of Calvin. In this second outing for “Snow and Winter”, the dynamic of the couple is now firmly in place, so it’s mostly all about the mystery.
