Review - An Outlaw's Captive by Xander Tracy
My rating:
Army lieutenant Randall is really only in service to please his general father. He may not have the urge to fight, but he has a good head for organization and logistics, so he’s quite happy working behind the front lines of the King’s road project, making sure the army is supplied. Nobody seems to pay him much attention, especially his father, but Randall is used to that. Alan, the “Outlaw Wolf”, has had his brother captured by the army, and he thinks Randall is the perfect bargaining chip to get him back.

Review - Gaining Trust by Morticia Knight
My rating:
Chuck and Jordan have been dancing around their mutual attraction for a while now. Chuck knew nothing of the BDSM lifestyle before private investigation agency he works at took on the case of Corey’s abuse by a former dom, but he’s fascinated by the intensity of the relationships he sees between the owners of Kiss of Leather and their submissive partners. It’s the kind of relationship he’s always wanted but didn’t understand.

Review - Abaddon's Locusts by Don Travis
My rating:
Jasper “Jazz” Penrod is a highly attractive young man that helped BJ out in The Bisti Business. When Jazz’s brother Henry shows up on BJ’s doorstep to tell him the young man is missing, it plunges BJ into the nasty business of human sex trafficking and the privileged world of the super rich. It’s definitely a race against time to find Jazz before he is either shipped out of the country or disposed of when he’s no longer attractive to those holding him.

Review - Tea by Mathew J. Metzger
My rating:
Big burly electrician John ducks into a crowded coffee shop to escape the rain and grab a cup of tea when he bumps into a table and spills some coffee on Chris, a younger man who pushes all of John’s buttons. John may tower over most people and have to walk sideways through doors, and people may draw the wrong ideas from his appearance, but he’s no monster. After a disastrous end to his last relationship, though, he’s not sure.

Review - Dark Rain by J.C. Owens
My rating:
As the youngest of four brothers ruling a remote province of the Anrodnes empire, not much is expected of Raine. Unlike his big brutish siblings, Raine is lithe and intellectual. He’s suffered enough beatings at the hands of his brothers to do whatever they demand, no matter how crazy the idea may seem. Their latest scheme involves getting Raine selected as the “Chosen” for the crown prince, a position that means he would be bonded for life to the future Emperor.

Review - A Fall In Autumn by Michael G. Williams
My rating:
More than 9,000 years in the future, civilization is again in decline, having clawed back from a complete collapse of technology, the environment and society. Of the great flying cities that were originally built to lift people above a polluted world, only Autumn remains. The city is populated mostly by genetically enhanced humans, along with human-animal hybrids providing manual labor, and a very few “artisanal” humans — those born the traditional way of un-enhanced genetic stock.
