Review - The Chaos We Create by KI Brightly and M.D. Gregory
My rating: 
Tate’s short temper has gotten him into trouble, and not for the first time. He’s arrested after getting into a brawl at a stop sign. Problem is, he was on his way home from a robbery at the time, so the police have him on that as well. Tate is surprised when he is released without charge on the orders of Ramsey, a man who says he was a friend of Tate’s late mother.
Review - Lost in the Woods by Crystal D. Budy
My rating:
Carter and Max continue their quest to pull down the Appalachian Order, a cult-like crime ring dealing in drugs, guns and human trafficking, which Max’s father is heavily involved in. The two also grow ever closer, but it’s difficult with Max’s erratic behavior resulting from the abuse he suffered as a child and with his husband. It doesn’t help that his ex keeps trying to re-insert himself into Max’s life.

My rating:
Melis is the god of bees and honey, and desire. He’s among the youngest of the gods and a bit of an outcast. King Antero is one of the god’s most ardent followers. Antero is reputed to be very handsome, but has yet to find a suitable companion, someone who wants him for who he is rather than because he’s the king. He prays to Melis often for help in his quest.

Review - The Emperor and the Endless Palace by Justinian Huang
My rating:
Near the end of the first century BC, in the grand imperial palace of the Han Emperor, three men develop a triangle relationship of love, lust and power with emotions so strong it will propel them to meet again and again for over two millennia. In each encounter, one of them attempts to set right the toxic relationship that has cursed the trio for two thousand years. I’m always a little leery of books with critical acclaim, especially from mainstream media.
Review - Sloppy by Alex Pendragon
My rating:
Justin works in the office of a small factory with the owner. They’re both there on a Sunday afternoon with only a couple of people in the warehouse when the forklift driver has a heart attack, resulting in a crash that spills industrial lubricant everywhere. The driver is taken to hospital and the boss orders Justin to help the one other person working that day to clean up the mess while he goes out to buy a shop vacuum to help.
