Review - Meeting Tiberius and Other Roman Tales by Clodia Metilli
My rating: 
In this collection of stories featuring Gaius, Tiberius, Achilles and other characters from the previous two books of the series, we learn a bit more about Gaius’ past as well as glimpses of the future after the end of Gaius and Achilles. The first story, which gives the collection its name, recounts how Gaius and Tiberius first met, while later ones tell us about Achilles’ life with Gaius after being freed.

Review - Becoming Cherished by Sara York
My rating:
Scotty tries to exorcise the demons of his past by being a Dom. He believes that being in control is the key to not being hurt again. He also tries to keep his relationships with his subs at arms length, because letting them get too close can also lead to disappointment. Wesley is young and inexperienced, and he challenges almost everything Scotty has done to protect himself. At first Scotty tries to bring Wesley into the lifestyle, and the younger man seems willing in the beginning, but then events overtake both men and threatens their budding relationship.

Review - Breach of Contract
My rating:
This sequel to Legally Bound picks up right where the first book left off, with lawyer Daniel learning the ropes - if you’ll pardon the expression - of submission from his Dom, and former client, Rafael. However, it’s Daniel’s law partner Jesse and Rafael’s boss, club owner George, who take center stage in this installment of the story. Jesse finally decides to risk his father-in-law’s wrath and leave his shrewish socialite wife.
Review - Consent
My rating:
You could be forgiven for thinking we had seen the end of the stories featuring detective Gavin DeGrassi. At the conclusion of the last book, Safeword, he was retired from the police force after yet another harrowing case that nearly cost him his life, his home, and his Dom Ben. But when Gavin’s sister-in-law and former partner Myah is snatched from a supermarket parking lot, he can’t just sit on the sidelines.
Review - Bruised
My rating:
This review originally appeared in slightly different form at BDSM Book Reviews. Johnson is just closing up the garage where he works when Texas transplant Billy drives in to get his truck serviced. There’s an almost instant attraction between the two, and after a flirtatious dinner, Billy invites the big mechanic home, where the sparks really begin to fly. “Bruised” is, more than anything, pure grade A smut. Once Billy and Johnson get together, which happens within the first few pages, we’re treated to an almost continuous sequence of scenes as the two explore a rather specific kink they discover on their first night together: Johnson loves Billy’s pale skin and can’t keep his lips and teeth off of it.

Review - Guarded
My rating:
This review originally appeared in slightly different form at BDSM Book Reviews. This is one of those rare books where the blurb is more concise and accurate than what I might have written: On the surface, rock star Jordan Kane has it all. His band No Rules is burning up the charts and headlining a world tour. His bodyguard doubles as a hot, kinky boyfriend who knows just how to push all his buttons.
Review - The Cross and the Trinity
My rating:
This review originally appeared in slightly different form at BDSM Book Reviews. In “The Cross and the Trinity” we witness the evolution of a BDSM menage relationship. As the book opens, Tate and Sebastian’s relationship is under many of the same strains that almost any couple - gay or straight, kinky or vanilla - experiences. And like too many young couples, they don’t have the maturity or life experience to help them deal with the stresses of work and other responsibilities.
Review - The Contract
My rating:
After discovering his boyfriend in bed with another man and then finding out his employer has gone bankrupt, Jace needs to get out of his head, and for him there’s no better place to do that than the local BDSM club. While watching a public scene, he is befriended by an older man who encourages him to take a turn on the stage to be flogged by the Dominant. Although not into public scenes, something about the man, Carlo, inspires confidence, and when the Dom picks Jace out of the crowd, he agrees.
