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.

My rating:
This review was written for, and originally appeared on, BDSM Book Reviews. Kyle has had fantasies of being gang-banged, which is something his boyfriend Dan is well aware of.

Review - Shirts and Skins
My rating:
Alert: This is one of those books that is hard to summarize for review without spoiling the plot to some degree. I’ve tried to keep the spoilers to a minimum. In this episodic tale of one man’s troubled journey through life, we first meet Josh as a young boy. He seems to a relatively happy child, despite a somewhat unsettled home life, with two half-brothers and a father that has trouble holding down a job.
Review - The Hardest Thing

When a sniper in Helmond kills his lover, the major loses it. His superior officers ask, and Dan tells, and that’s the end of his military career.

Review - Breaking History
My rating:

The out 18 year-old has it bad for his history teacher Mr Worthington, but he assumes the recently divorced 29 year-old hunk is out of reach.

Review - Hidden Faults
My rating:
‘Jodi’ is a doctor trying to find a “cure” for one of his society’s greatest problems: paranormal abilities. ‘Paras’ are considered a threat, and once discovered they are marked with tattoos as well as forced to take a drug that inhibits their abilities. The problem is, the drug makes them almost useless for anything else, so they have become outcasts from the world in more ways than one. The government of Jodi’s country has used the “paranormal threat” to justify all sorts of restrictions, which the largely conservative society goes along with.
