Review - A Suitable Stray (For an Outguard and an Assistant) by R. Cooper
My rating: 
Tiiran is technically just an assistant, but with no Keepers around, he does his best to keep the Great Library running under the latest king, who doesn’t seem to know the library exists. The other assistants look up to him, even though Tiiran has a short temper and a tendency to snarl at the nobles who come to the library. Tiiran’s sharp tongue and half-fae parentage keep even most of the brave outguards away, except for Orin.

Review - The Obedience Pill by Ryan DeVry
My rating:
Imagine if you will there’s a pill that will make the person who takes it do whatever you say. You (a straight dude) obtain one of these pills with the idea of slipping it to a woman you pick up in a bar, to ensure you get laid. Because yes, apparently that’s what straight dudes do. Now, what do you do when your roommate, also straight, takes the pill by mistake because you hid it in the medicine chest in a box labeled paracetamol?

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.
