Review - Con Boys are Naughty by J.P. Barnaby
My rating: 
This review originally appeared on the BDSM Book Reviews web site. Brandon is an extremely introverted writer, and dedicated submissive to his Dom Sean. Brandon’s books are very popular, but he is so painfully shy that attending cons or doing any of the other things popular authors do for publicity scares the life out of him. Being the good Dom he is, Sean respects Brandon’s boundaries, but he also tries to stretch his sub’s limits from time to time, which is why he convinces Brandon to attend a con.

Review - Lime Gelatin and Other Monsters by Angel Martinez
My rating:
Kyle is a policeman in a most unusual precinct. His squad is made up of men and women with paranormal capabilities, although they’re not exactly X-men. Everyone’s powers are a little ‘off’. There’s a firestarter who can’t spark if it’s wet, and a vampire who gets sick on whole blood, just to name a few. Then we have Kyle’s new partner Vakesh, who seems unflappable, but it turns out you don’t want to make him angry.

Review - Lonely Shore by Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen
My rating:
Spoiler alert: If you haven’t read the first installment of this series, then you had best stop reading this review now, since we can’t really discuss the second book without reavealing how the first left off. This second volume of the Chaos Station series picks up just a few weeks after the end of “Chaos Station”. Zed is trying to settle in as a member of the crew, but everyone, especially his lover Flick, knows that he is living on borrowed time.
