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:
Piers owns a modest little tavern with his partner. He’s very good at making ale, which means the pub has loyal customers, and Piers is also good at telling stories. One night, a stranger visits and is interested in hearing one of Piers’ stories, so the affable landlord tells him about the time he was cook for a pair of giants. It was a good job, with kind people who paid well, until that no-good rotten young man Jack showed up.

Review - Ministry of Alien Relations by Rebecca Cohen
My rating:
Devlin works for the Ministry of Alien Relations in London, a secret government office that deals with aliens from other planets. Devlin manages a team that looks after the settlement of refugees from other planets. It’s not very glamorous, but it’s less dangerous than being out in the field chasing down illegal beings from other planets. There’s a high-profile embassy from the Chroalian system visiting Earth. Normally, Devlin wouldn’t be involved in such things, but it’s the summer holidays and the ministry is short-staffed, so they’ve asked Devlin to look after the ambassador’s son, Zal.

Review - Forget Me Not by R. Cooper
My rating:
Police detective Ray wakes up in an alley feeling drained, which, for a werewolf, is very strange. His keen sense of smell senses magic, which explains how someone overpowered him. He’s just getting his bearings when some people appear at the mouth of the alley. One of them is human and also smells of magic, but the other is a fairy, or perhaps a half-fairy. He is very pretty, as fairies are, and claims to be Ray’s mate.
