Review - Rising Beauty by Meraki P. Lyhne
My rating: 
Note: This is the third book in the Cubi series. These stories follow closely on each other, so if you haven’t read the first two books, you won’t have any idea what’s going on. As this third installment of the Cubi series opens, Daniel is still trying to wrap his head around the latest revelation to turn his life upside down. Not only is he becoming an incubus, he is destined to become the king of the North American cubi.
Review - Exposed by Bey Deckard
My rating:
Greg is talented amateur photographer with a dominant streak, although he keeps it carefully under wraps after a rather painful experience in his past. Quite by accident on a trip to London from his home in Canada, he meets Emyr, an up and coming Welsh singer about half Greg’s age. He is inexplicably drawn to the young man, yet the age difference and his own demons keep him from letting things go anywhere.

Review - Burning Up by Silvia Violet
My rating:
The third installment of the “Fitting In” series turns the focus on a minor character introduced in the previous book. Bryce is a fireman recently moved to town for a new start. Things are going well, although he finds two men on his shift, Toby and Matt, very attractive. But, they already seem to be a couple, and they’re much younger than Bryce; oh, and he’s their supervisor, so a relationship seems out of the question.
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 - 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.
