Review - Heat for Sale by Blake Moreno
My rating: 
In a world made up solely of males, university student Adrien is an omega, a male capable of bearing a child, and he is about to experience his first heat. Most omegas would have close family to arrange for an alpha to handle the delicate situation, but Adrien is all alone. Since he’s also in need of money to pay for the rest of his education, he has little choice but to auction off his first heat, and the possibility to be bred, to the highest bidder.

Review - Blow Down by J.L. Merrow
My rating:
Psychic plumber Tom Peretski is definitely not enjoying the publicity engendered from his last case, as recounted in Heat Trap. People either don’t take him seriously, or expect him to do tricks like a performing monkey. Among the latter is a hi-so acquaintance of his sister Cherry, who ropes Tom into demonstrating his abilities at a village fête. But when he sets out to find what’s hidden, he doesn’t expect to stumble over the dead body of the woman herself.

Review - Us by Shaw Montgomery
My rating:
Scott and Ryan have been friends since their days on their high school football team, and roommates since college. They’re both out but they have desires they haven’t shared with each other. That, and people’s preconceived ideas about what muscled jocks should be like in bed have kept both men from finding serious partners. Then they meet Dare, a “twink” who nonetheless seems to know exactly what both men need, and is ready to give it to them, if he can just get them to talk to each other.
Review - My Ex-Life: A Novel by Stephen McCauley

When the daughter of his ex-wife asks for David’s help getting into college, which is how he makes his living, it seems a trip to New England, and down memory lane, is just the thing to give him perspective.

Perhaps a rent boy the two meet in another club can provide some clues.

Review - Heat Trap by J.L. Merrow
My rating:
Psychic plummer Tom is still struggling with the revelation he received at the end of the previous book, Relief Valve, that the man who raised him was not really his father. It makes him doubt what he thought he knew about both of his parents. Meanwhile, Tom’s maybe-boyfriend Phil is asked to look into a stalker bothering one of the barmaids at Tom’s favorite pub. This third installment of the Plumer’s Mate series is a bit of a departure.
