Review - Master by Fate by M.A. Innes
My rating: 
Cooper and Sawyer have moved in with Jackson, so now the accidental master has his two pups living with him full time. There are a lot of mundane things like chores and shopping to figure out for three working people living together, but it still leaves lots of time for the three to get to know each other better and build trust. Sawyer and Cooper have been on their own for a few years, so they also have to get used to having a loving family around.

Review - No Angel by Nora Phoenix
My rating:
Indy, Noah, Josh and Conner are preparing for their wedding. On the surface, it’s a double wedding, with Noah and Indy pairing up alongside Josh and Conner, but it’s really a joining of all four men into a single family. That family also includes Miles and his two lovers, Brad and Charlie. It’s a big family with a lot of different kinks, but there’s no kink shaming allowed in this household.

Review - Touch and GO by Chris Quinton
My rating:
Boston police officer Jason is badly injured when the undercover operation he was involved in almost went sideways. Now, both of the crime families he helped take down are out for his blood before he can testify. Staying in the hospital, where he should be, makes him a sitting duck, so the FBI moves him into a safe house under the watchful eye of Special Agent Phil Harland. He should be safe, except it looks like there’s a mole in the police or the FBI, or both, and it turns out Phil is Jason’s old high school rival.

Sensing the distance Miller has started to put between them, Brody enters them in a contest for newlyweds, partly as a joke.

Review - A Veil of Gods and Kings by Nicole Bailey
My rating:
It’s Apollo’s fate to become the sun god, but he keeps putting off ascending. He doesn’t want to become a god, like his father Zeus, who demands offerings of sacrifice and food from humans who are starving, then wipes out entire villages on a whim. Zeus is becoming increasingly impatient with his half-human son. He gives Apollo an ultimatum: either he ascends now, or spends a year with the human Prince Hyacinth learning how a “good” son behaves.

My rating:
Johnny plays drums in a band with his two half-brothers and Zimri, who Johnny has been secretly in love with for years. The band appears to be about to enter the big time when their manager, Johnny’s stepmother, announces some changes. Johnny is out. He just isn’t cute enough for pop music, even though he writes most of the lyrics for the band’s songs. Zimri quits the band as well in protest and convinces Johnny they can make it on their own.
