Good Dawg
The Blurb: Extremely introverted web developer Kevin has resigned himself to being single. Hookup apps don't do it for him, and he's too shy to try and meet men in bars or clubs, especially now that he thinks he knows the kind of man he needs. People are complicated. Dogs are much easier to make friends with. They don't lie about what they want. All you have to figure out is whether they like scratches or belly rubs and you've made a friend.

Review - The Lightkeeper's Son by Daniel Elijah Sanderfer
My rating: 
Leland lives with his parents on a North Carolina resort island. It's an idyllic life, but it gets a bit lonely for a gay teenager when all the tourists leave once the summer season is over. Doug has just been kicked out of his home when his wealthy ultra-conservative father finds him with another boy. With nowhere else to go, he heads to the family's seldom-used beach house on Leland's island to try and figure things out.

Review - Prepared by Cara Dee
My rating:
Although delayed by the pandemic, Darius and Gray are finally getting their big day. As family and friends descend on the couple to help them celebrate their wedding, there may be times the pair wish they were back battling the human trafficking thugs. The boys will get through it. They always do. This last book in the Auctioned series is a bit of an anti-climax, but it's not without a fair bit of drama.

Review - Dearest Milton James by N.R. Walker
My rating:
Malachi is a fun-loving young gay man with a sunny outlook on life. The only blemish on his fabulous life is work. His inability to keep a job is driving his father crazy. Dad has arranged one last chance. He's arranged for Malachi to work at the “dead letter” warehouse. Things are not looking good, even less so when the young man meets his new boss, Julian. The slightly older man who always dresses in shades of brown seems the definition of dull.

Review - Davo by N.R. Walker
My rating:
When academic researcher Fergus lands in a remote mining camp in the far reaches of Western Australia, he's expecting a change of scenery, but he's totally unprepared for the extreme conditions of the desert, as well as the quirky collection of permanent residents that call the town home. The biggest surprise of all is Davo. The muscular mechanical supervisor has a sunny disposition with a totally disarming smile, and likes to wear skirts.

Alden has had his eye on Gannon, their assistant, but isn't sure if the man is even interested, let alone willing to be a boy to Alden's daddy.
