Review - The Rules by Gale Stanley
My rating:
Wil is an experienced Dom looking for that one special submissive that he can call his own. He’s tired of doing scenes with subs that he doesn’t connect with. It’s hard since the city’s ultra conservative police chief has shut down all the clubs. The only places still open are invite-only, super-secret places that move around. What Wil doesn’t know is that the remaining clubs are run by the corrupt police chief, and they make up for a chronic shortage of subs by entrapping homeless young men and forcing them to choose between jail or providing sexual services.

Review - The Wizard's Apprentice by Ryan DeVry
My rating:
Callum is apprenticed to one of the most powerful wizards in the land. He cooks and cleans, plus provides “stress relief” for his master when needed. Callum especially likes the stress relief duty, but so far, he hasn’t learned to do any magic himself. When the wizard gets busy with an especially difficult project, he has little time for Callum, and things get even worse when the Wizard calls in another apprentice.

Review - Farmed Out 2: City Heat by Alex Pendragon
My rating:
Mason is back home in the city but he can’t forget his experiences with Alfie and his friends back on the farm. He has a hard time reconciling what he did with the image he had of himself, and struggles to come to terms with what it means. There’s no going back, though, so he invites Alfie to visit him. If Mason thought being in the crowded big city would make Alfie moderate his reckless sexual behavior, he is sadly mistaken.

Review - To Love the Dragon King by Antonia Aquilante
My rating:
Sascha was born without the Talent to shift into a dragon, so he was raised to believe his only value was to be offered up as a concubine to bring his parents money and powerful connections. As soon as he comes of age, Sascha is packed off to Lord Jannick, whom he has never met. His sense of foreboding proves to be well founded when he arrives at the isolated castle to be met by an unattractive and clearly cruel man.
