Review - The Ice Prince by J.C. Owens
My rating: 
Aiden was raised by four guardians. He has no memory of family or who he is. The guardians ensure Aiden is well educated and knows how to defend himself, but they aren’t nice about it. The young man has learned to at least act submissive in their presence. Aiden has no knowledge of the outside world until the day two generals arrive at the isolated fortress and tell him he is a prince.

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.

Review - A Suitable Brat by R. Cooper
My rating:
Westin is an outguard but is getting too old for the life on the road, sometimes sleeping rough, especially in the cold. He has resolved to retire and return to his family’s estate. There’s just one problem: another outguard called Sun. Unlike most outguards like Westin, Sun’s brief is wide-ranging, so their paths often crossed. The much younger man has a sharp tongue and a way of getting Westin, or almost anyone, to do exactly what he wants, which includes sharing a bed.

Review - Gilded Cage of the Tentacle Elite by Kit Luxe
My rating:
The Galactic Alliance arrived on Earth with promises to make everything better, and they did, for some. Theo lives on the streets, outside the system. He eats food he finds discarded in dumpsters and sleeps in alleys well out of sight from the main streets. That’s to avoid the “sweepers” that round up homeless people. There are all sorts of stories about what happens to the humans collected by the alliance sweepers.

Review - Trader Argyle (Definitely Human) by Angel Martinez
My rating:
Argyle is a trader. He travels from town to town, buying wares he thinks he can sell or that someone has asked for, as well as selling the things he has brought with him. It’s usually a leisurely occupation, but now Argyle is in a hurry to reach Mereston. The trader met some soldiers in another town who were looking for the village, bent on killing all the “monsters” living there.
