Review - Forever Nine by Kris T. Bethke
My rating: 
Jesse is the youngest of nine children, and even though he’s in his late twenties, his family still treats him like a baby. They even insist on calling him “Nine” instead of using his proper name, no matter how many times he tells them he doesn’t like it. What Jesse really likes is his neighbor Holden. He’d like nothing more than to submit to the obvious Dom, but Holden doesn’t think Jesse is serious and so the two remain friends.
Review - History of Beauty by Meraki P. Lyhne
My rating:
More than a thousand years before Daniel was born, another royal emerged in the Norse regions of Europe. Like Daniel, Elakdon was almost immediately faced with dealing with new problems coming to the ancient Cubi peoples. Chief among these is a new religion sweeping north: Christianity. It’s a faith whose beliefs demonize and directly threaten the Cubi, who have traditionally lived openly alongside humans. “History of Beauty” is a story within the larger story of the Cubi series.

Review - Jailmates by Lesli Richardson
My rating:
Warning: This is a book that’s hard to review and discuss all the interesting points it raises without giving away a little of the plot. Hopefully it’s no more than you could infer from the blurbs, but consider yourself warned. Simon is just a few days away from finishing up his five year stint in the military. He joined up to provide money to his single mother and younger sister, so he’ll need to find some other work eventually, but for now he’s just missing his family and looking forward to spending time with them.
