Review - Strung Tight
My rating: 
Jeff was in a band at one time, but he tired of life on the road, booze, drugs and groupies. Now he lives in a small Florida resort town, where he writes songs for his old band during the day and plays guitar in a local strip club at night. He enjoys the quiet life, but misses having someone to share it with. Then, one night in the club, he spots Pete in the audience.
Review - Fatal Shadows
My rating:
Bookshop owner and aspiring mystery writer Adrien English wakes up one morning to find the police on his doorstep. They’er there to tell him that his old high school friend and employee is dead, brutally murdered in fact. To make matters worse for the weak-hearted Adrien, it seems that he is the prime suspect, having argued with the man over dinner just before he was killed. Even though he seems to be being stalked by the killer, Adrien fears that the police will make him a convenient scapegoat, so in true mystery novel fashion he sets about finding the murderer himself, which might even lead him to one of the detectives investigating the case.
Review - Rogue
My rating:
This review originally appeared on BDSM Book Reviews. He calls himself Rogue because that’s what he is, and he has known no other name. This vampire, young at only 100 years, was turned against his will, and the circumstances surrounding his transition were so traumatic that he’s blocked out all memory of his human existence, even his name. Given the circumstances of how he came to be a vampire, it’s somewhat understandable that he lives outside their society and the structured organization that rules them.
Review - The Velvet Interrogation
My rating:
Chet is an American diplomat based in Beirut in the early 1990s when he is tasked to retrieve a busload of people from a Palestinian refugee camp in the south. The Embassy has received word that Israel plans to bomb the camp, but they will allow the Americans to take out relatives of Embassy employees, as long as they aren’t young men, who are always perceived as potential terrorists. Unfortunately, many of the people on the approved list can’t be found, or are unwilling to trust the Americans.
Review - A Man, A Jersey and a Tight End
My rating:
Nearly two years have passed since Brian, ‘Goldilocks’, moved in with his three bears to set up an unusual, somewhat polyamorous, relationship with them. In this sequel to Goldilocks and His Three Bears, the strains of ‘Daddy’ Paul’s heavy travel schedule is showing on Brian, who is almost out of control, despite Momma Bear Jim’s best disciplinarian efforts. It doesn’t help that Jim’s own sub, baby bear Scott, is also out on the road.
Review - Safeword
My rating:
In this sequel to Power Exchange, it’s been nearly two years since Detective Gavin DeGrassi and his Dom Ben were attacked and almost killed by a serial killer. Gavin is back at work as a police detective, but he’s far from over the post-traumatic stress of the attack. He can’t stand being touched, even by his lover Ben, let alone tied up and dominated, and everywhere he looks there are reminders of the event.

Review - Comfort and Joy
My rating:
Ford is a doctor just finishing his residency at hospitals in the Atlanta area. Long accustomed to being the object of desire for both men and women, he has only recently acknowledged that his own attraction is to men, yet he still has not come to terms with being gay, let alone tell his very traditionally-minded parents. Despite the wealth and prestige Ford has, he still feels an emptiness to his life, until he meets Dan.
Review - King Mai
My rating:
This review was written for, and originally appeared on, BDSM Book Reviews. Mai Kearns has a lot on his mind. The Thai-born adopted son of Dekalb, Illinois farmers is a bit of a misfit, being Asian and gay in America’s white heartland. Nonetheless he loves his parents and his farm, which he seems about to lose. So, it’s hardly surprising that he feels he needs to break his ‘date’ with the mysterious Vin Vanbly.
Review - Clown'd
My rating:
