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 - Skythane by J. Scott Coatsworth
My rating:
Oberon is a strange half-world, a planet seemingly cut in two, with not sign of what happened to the missing half. The world is the only known source of pith, a drug with many legitimate as well as illicit uses. Only, the supply of pith seems to have dried up, so the Psych Corps sends Jameson to Oberon to investigate. His guide is Xander, a Skythane, the descendants of the original human settlers who we genetically modified to have wings.

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.

Review - Claimed Beauty by Meraki P. Lyhne
My rating:
Kindly note: It’s impossible to review this second book in The Cubi series without revealing how the first volume, Untouchable Beauty ends. If you haven’t read the first book, and hate spoilers, I suggest you skip this review. This sequel to “Untouchable Beauty” picks up just moments after the first book ends, with Daniel accidentally dosed by his master Seldon and discovered to be a changeling, a human that has the genetic make-up to be converted to a incubus.
Review - Farm Fresh by Posy Roberts
My rating:
Jude is a senior student at Portland State University, studying environmental science. He was raised on a farm, but escaped his abusive ultra-religious parents as soon as he could. Although he identifies as gay, Jude has been so traumatized by his parents that he has had trouble forming any kind of relationship with another man. Jude enjoys visiting the farmers market held on campus every Saturday, and especially enjoys talking to Hudson, who operates a booth for Kaleidoscope Gardens.

Review - Fragments by Zen DiPietro
My rating:
The second book of the Dragonfire Station series picks up right where the first book, Translucid, left off. Fallon has reunited with her team, although not her memories, and together they have set off to earth to try and solve the mystery of why her team was split up, and her memories seemingly erased. This middle book in the series gives us a lot more insight into the main characters, although there’s no shortage of action as well.
