Review - The Infidelity Clause by Lisa Oliver
My rating: 
With three older brothers, the king already has an heir and two spares, so getting married off to a foreign royal to create an alliance is the best Prince Caspian can hope for. Only, he didn’t consider that the foreign royal would be a man, even if Nikolas is a Crown Prince. Nikolas is aware of Caspian’s feckless womanizing reputation, but the benefits to his country from the marriage contract makes it a good deal, and he has ensured the agreement has all the standard clauses to get him out of the marriage if Caspian doesn’t live up to the terms, which Nikolas figures will take six months at most.

Jasper calls in a team to help him figure out how to deal with his problem. Lewis and his sister have their own little business helping hoarders work out their issues and reclaim their living space.

Review - The Phantom by AJ Rose
My rating:
Tracey is recovering from his gunshot wound at Jon’s house. It’s convenient, since there are fewer stairs to negotiate and Jon can take him to and from work, since the injury prevents Tracey from driving. It’s also given the two time to get to know each other, but for Tracey it’s starting to feel like too much, too soon. Personal conflicts end up taking a back seat when a new murder in the DC area finally confirms the team’s suspicion that a serial killer is targeting gay men in several cities.
