Review - Diego by Angel Marinez
My rating: 
Building a solid relationship between a human and a Irish fairy was never going to be easy. When Diego misinterprets a situation he finds Finn in, his anger opens a hole in the veil which has kept the human and fae worlds separate for hundreds of years. Diego is plunged into a world he has no knowledge, or at least no recollection, of, and Finn finds himself still an outcast among his own people.

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.

My rating:

My rating:

My rating:
Lysander Brock, known to everyone as just Brock, is an accomplished nature photographer known for getting impossible shots, often with little regard for his own safety. Brock is just getting ready for his next assignment to the Columbian rain forest when the home where he’s staying is invaded by Kyle, a government agent who at first coerces but then seduces Brock into using his talents to help get information about a criminal operation in the Columbian jungles where Brock plans to go.
Review - Building Bonds by Morticia Knight
My rating:
Shy carpenter Kyle has a knack for building exquisite dungeon equipment, even though he himself is not in the lifestyle and doesn’t believe his old friend when he tells Kyle he’s a natural sub. When Gavin approaches Kyle with an offer to build equipment for the new BDSM club he is opening with his friends called “Kiss of Leather”, he just assumes Kyle must be an experienced submissive, and takes quite an interest in the young man.
Review - Finn by Angel Marinez
My rating:
Irish fairy (pooka) Finn wakes from a centuries-long slepp to a very unfamiliar modern world. He somehow finds his way to New York City, which is no place for a being that gets their nourishment from fresh water and nature. He’s weak and disheveled when Diego spots him on a bridge. Diego is someone who just can’t help trying to make other people’s lives better. Fearing that Finn might harm himself, and with no idea what he really is, Diego takes him home.
