Review - Submit to the Alien by Xander Tracy
My rating:
Nerren is an omega. A descendant of genetically modified human males that can conceive and give birth. Omegas are prized by some and despised by others. Nerren has been trying to live under the radar since being orphaned as a boy, but he’s running out of options if he wants to stay alive. Offering his reproductive capability to an alien willing to pay a lot of money for it seems like a way out.

Review - Luck of the Draw by Addison Albright
My rating:
Once upon a time, three kingdoms were engaged in a bloody war over a small piece of land. Many princes and princesses died in the battles. When the rulers decided to make peace, part of the treaty called for marriages between the houses to promote stability. The only problem is that there are slightly more eligible princes than princesses. This means that either Obren or his brother will have to marry Prince Dukan.

Review - DragonRider by S. Rodman
My rating:
Kirby has set himself up as a sort of freelance mage, offering wards, spells, maybe the odd potion, to whomever needs them. He receives a commission involving a castle in Wales, but he’s not sure of the specifics. When he arrives, the imperious young man who greets him informs Kirby that he is just there to “round out the numbers” for the selection of a new dragon rider. Dragons were one of the few mythical creatures that Kirby was sure didn’t exist, so he’s thrilled just to get to meet one.
