Review - Cursed: Ride or Die by Eden Winters
My rating: 
Slade prefers being on his own. When he feels the need for some companionship, he’ll pick up a guy at a bar for a one-night stand. It’s a perfectly good system as long as the other man understands the arrangement. When a young man from a previous night turns up at Slade’s garage wanting more, the biker has to set him straight, and he does it as brutally as possible.
Review - Stuff by Josephine Myles
My rating:
Mas just got laid off from his sales job at a department store. He’s already behind on his rent and ends up doing something stupid. While avoiding a man with a personal grudge against Mas, he ducks into a shop near his flat. It’s like stepping back in time. The store is crammed full of old clothing, so full it’s hard to see anything, especially with the windows screened off.

Review - Own Me by BL Sparrow
My rating:
Ben is back at the frat house, but he’s missing his brother Nate even more than he thought he would. It doesn’t help seeing Aidan get used by the fraternity brothers, and enjoying every second of it. While Foster agrees to let Aidan be used by any of the men, it’s clear Aidan does it for Foster, and the two are deeply in love with each other. It makes Ben a little jealous, since he can never let people know how he and Nate really feel about each other.

Review - X for Extortion by Garrick Jones
My rating:
Tommy returns to England after successfully concluding the secret mission to retrieve embarrassing letters and jewelry for the royal family. He also found a cache of photographs that were probably being used as blackmail material against other British aristocrats. Tommy and his team begin the delicate task of trying to identify the people in the pictures and who is behind the blackmail. The trail leads to an international crime ring with ties to Nazi Germany.
Review - Use Me by BL Sparrow
My rating:
Ben has been unsettled since the start of term, when the new pledge Aidan joined his fraternity. It’s not that the chapter president Foster has made Aidan his personal sex toy, using the young man at every opportunity. It’s that Aidan seems to actually enjoy being used. The greater the humiliation, the more Aidan seems to get off on it, and he shows no shame afterward. Ben can’t help wondering what that must be like.

Review - Happily by Kim Fielding
My rating:
