Review - Malena MCD by Beryll Brackhaus and Osiris BrackHaus

My rating: * * * * *

Mauve is a ‘pet,’ a genetically engineered sex slave, and not a fancy one, either. His genes didn't produce quite what the breeders hoped for, so he ended up in the bargain bin. He's had a succession of brutal, uncaring owners from the underbelly of Malicorn society who used him and passed him on when they became bored. His latest master has been shot dead, along with his gang of thugs, and so Mauve is now ‘evidence’ in the investigation.

book cover for Driven to The Edge

Review - Driven to The Edge by L.M. Somerton

My rating: * * * * *

Joe and Olly have been living their happily-ever-after for a couple of years. Joe would like nothing more than to keep his sub close, but Olly is good at his job as a nurse at a nearby military hospital. What starts as a typical day of getting some new patients settled turns into a series of traumatic events for Olly and all the men in his life. Although most of the books in the Tales From The Edge series are more or less standalone, this story is a sequel to the first two books, so you really need to have read the first book, Reaching the Edge, and the second, Living on the Edge, before this one to get a complete understanding of the relationship Joe and Olly have.
