Review - From Top to Bottom by Kevin Klehr
My rating: 
Dedicated top Tony is curious about bottoming. What’s a modern top to do? Form a support group of other tops who want to give things a try from the other side, of course. “From Top to Bottom” is a rather tongue-in-cheek erotic short novellete. There’s plenty of hot scenes and humor to help cover up the rather preposterous plot set-up. The characters are engaging if not very deeply developed. Tony and his new buddy Butch are the most well drawn characters, while the rest are just set pieces.

Review - Skim Blood & Savage Verse by Angel Martinez
My rating:
The latest installment of the Offbeat Crimes series switches the focus from Kyle and Kash to the squad’s dysfunctional vampire Carrington. ‘Carr’ has a history of rather unfortunate choices in boyfriends, which in large part is how he got to be a vampire that can’t stomach whole human blood. In his latest case, Carr learns that words can hurt you, at least when they take physical form and are hurled at you with great force by possessed books.
Review - Submission Times Two by Claire Thompson
My rating:
Ethan and Cam are very much in love and have been in a committed relationship for a year. There’s just one problem: They both have strong submissive desires — that’s how they met, in a BDSM club in New York — and neither one of them has enough of a dominant streak to give the other the kind of emotional high they get from submitting. They’ve made do participating in sexless scenes with wannabe Doms at different clubs, but for Ethan, at least, it isn’t quite satisfying his submissive urges.
Review - Picked Fresh by Posy Roberts
My rating:
This sequel to “Farm Fresh” picks up shortly after the first book ends. Hudson prepares for the long trip from Oregon back to his late grandmother’s home in Kentucky to meet his estranged mother. Jude is studying like crazy trying to finish his degree. Together the two set out on a road trip that may solidify, or destroy, their budding relationship. “Picked Fresh” gives us a lot more insight into Jude and Hudson.
Review - Coalescence by Zen DiPietro
My rating:
Spoiler alert: You may not want to read this review of the third book in the Dragonfire Station series if you haven’t already read the first two. Fallon and her reconstituted “blackops” team, Avian Unit, are poised to save the galaxy, if they can only figure out from who. Fallon may have her memories back, but that doesn’t make it any easier to figure out who is behind the destabilization of the planetary alliance.

Review - Imago by N.R. Walker
My rating:
Lawson is a lepidopterist from Melbourne, on his way to Tasmania to look for a rumored new species of butterfly. Lawson is the very definition of nerd: Highly intelligent, skinny, preppy dress sense, and questionable social skills. Big outdoorsy Jack is on the flight with Lawson. He is returning to his home in Tasmania, where he’s a park ranger, of the area where Lawson is set to look for his butterfly.
Review - Broken Halo by Michaela Grey
My rating:
Micah is a rather neurotic germaphobe, and a submissive, whose last relationship was with a jerk of a Dom who seemed to enjoy humiliating him. Quite by accident he meets Devon, a mechanic who is far nicer to Micah that he thinks he deserves. Devon persists, and as their relationship grows, so do Micah’s insecurities. “Broken Halo” is a rather sweet kinky tale with a few surprises. There are lots of hints as you read the story about where the plot is going, which appears to be down a rather predictable path.
Review - Sorting Out by Silvia Violet
My rating:
Mason, Gray and Jack are making a three-way relationship work, but things can’t stay the same forever. Gray wants to go after a promotion to detective, which means he wouldn’t be Jack’s partner anymore. It would also mean they could be open about their relationship with each other, as well as Mason, but Jack isn’t sure he’s ready to be out at work. He’s not too sure he even wants to continue being a police officer.
