Review - Submission Times Two by Claire Thompson
My rating: 
Ethan and Cam are very much in love and have been in a committed relationship for a year. There’s just one problem: They both have strong submissive desires — that’s how they met, in a BDSM club in New York — and neither one of them has enough of a dominant streak to give the other the kind of emotional high they get from submitting. They’ve made do participating in sexless scenes with wannabe Doms at different clubs, but for Ethan, at least, it isn’t quite satisfying his submissive urges.
Review - Broken Halo by Michaela Grey
My rating:
Micah is a rather neurotic germaphobe, and a submissive, whose last relationship was with a jerk of a Dom who seemed to enjoy humiliating him. Quite by accident he meets Devon, a mechanic who is far nicer to Micah that he thinks he deserves. Devon persists, and as their relationship grows, so do Micah’s insecurities. “Broken Halo” is a rather sweet kinky tale with a few surprises. There are lots of hints as you read the story about where the plot is going, which appears to be down a rather predictable path.
Review - The Closet Boy by Sean Michael
My rating:
Way’ra (“Way”) is thrown out onto the streets when his extremely religious parents catch him kissing another boy. Way manages to land a job as a janitor at the gym, but with no money except what he had on him when kicked out, he doesn’t have any place to stay, so he’s been living in a disused closet at the gym, and hoping nobody will notice. But gym member Neal notices Way, and is quite captivated by the younger man.

Review - Override by SJD Peterson
My rating:
Tall and muscular Donavan isn’t your typical submissive, and for that matter the older and shorter Seth doesn’t exactly fit the stereotype of a Dom, but the two men sense a connection almost from the beginning, and despite different backgrounds and conflicting work schedules they try to figure out where that connection will take them. “Override” obviously isn’t your typical Dominant/submissive story. It’s hard to describe how different it is without spoiling some of the surprises, so read on at your own risk.
Review - Dom of Ages by K.C. Wells and Parker Williams
My rating:
Submissive Jarod served his master Phillip for more than 20 years, but then Phillip dies in a plane crash leaving his sub with nobody to care for. It takes him several years of grieving before he can convince himself to go to a club again in the hopes of finding a new Dom. At 50 years old, he knows his chances are slim. What Dom is going to want a mature sub?
Review - The New Boy by Sean Michael
My rating:
Lance is a talented young photographer with a potentially lucrative commission to produce a series of kinky cards for a private collector, but he can only collect that big paycheck if he can find the right models to pose for the pictures. He begins to despair of finding the right men when Tide shows up for an interview, along with his friends Tyrone and his submissive Bran. Right away he knows that maintaining a professional demeanor behind the camera with three hot men getting kinky in front of him is going to be difficult.
Review - Beautiful Boy by Grace R. Duncan
My rating:
Kyle is a young man who seems to have everything going for him. He comes from a well off family, who have provided a good education, a loft in town for him to live in, and his own car. But his family didn’t give him much love or attention, and if they knew he was gay, he would lose everything. It’s perhaps not too surprising that Kyle doesn’t have a very high opinion of his value, and you might wonder if this is what draws him so strongly to being a submissive when a friend introduces him to the BDSM world.
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 - Master Takes a Name by Sean Michael
My rating:
Note: This review was written for and originally appeared at BDSM Book Reviews. Blurb: Before he can embrace his future, he must accept himself. Kael is happy with his life. A consummate sub, he’s out, proud, and surrounded by good friends. Then he hears about Master L, a new Dom who has all the twinks aflutter. Kael’s curious, but not unduly so, until he and the stud do a scene. Then he understands the commotion.
Review - Christmas at Leo's
My rating:
The houseboy is back, just in time for Christmas, with another long-time-coming installment of the story of his life with his two “daddies” Dick and Shane. This volume picks up right where the previous book, Gilliflowers, left off, with the story of Christmas 2008. It doesn’t start well, with Gilli visiting his mother. It will probably be her last Christmas, as she is in the final stages of cervical cancer, and it dredges up all sorts of memories in the young man.
