  THE DAREDEVIL Black Cat Circus - Book One by Duckie Mack Release Date: May 6, 2023 Audio Release Date: April 15, 2024 Narrator: Zachary Zaba Review Who doesn’t want to believe that the magical world of a circus is really magical?  Giving a safe place and found family for those who don’t always feel wanted or understood elsewhere. And that’s exactly how Drake finds himself a part of Black Cat Circus. The bad boy in need of a safe place. Eli is an adorably awkward guy working a mediocre job with dreams of being a photographer. He plays it safe and quiet. What he needs is a Daredevil to breathe some life into him and help him take chances. They are an adorable pair. I love every scene with Drake pushing Eli to do something out of his comfort zone.  Eli experiencing those moments, the exhilaration, the joy, was wonderful.  I do recommend the audiobook, it’s fun to have these two brought to life by Zachary Zaba.

REVIEW: Bloody Valentine by West Greene

  BLOODY VALENTINE Valentine Claim - Book One by West Greene Release Date: February 10, 2024 Review Whoa, that took a turn!  This was a dark erotic short between two best friends. "I cannot believe your murderous tendencies are making me hard." It’s an obsessive and possessive love by Finn for his kind-hearted best friend.  Gatlin has struggled to feel like he belongs for a long time. He thought he had finally made it, with a best friend and boyfriend.  But it’s not until Finn unleashes the full force of his desires for Gatlin, that he understands what it's like to be consumed by love. Turns out the sweet guy likes his men a little unhinged. If you like slightly deranged characters who think some light kidnapping is foreplay, than you can’t go wrong with this short. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis We‘re roommates and best friends... and he‘s also the only person I have in this world. Most people avoid getting close to me. I’m too feminine-looking for men and

AUDIO REVIEW: Rare by Briar Prescott

  RARE by Briar Prescott Release Date: June 16, 2020 Audio Release Date: April 20, 2021 Narrated by Iggy Toma & Alexander Cendese Review We first meet Alex. And let me tell you, I wanted to gag him! He’s an obnoxious little s**t. Even if you could see why he was the way he was I was completely exasperated by him. Which is a testament to the writing, and of course the audio narration that created such a vivid character. Also knowing that the author would make me fall for him along the way helped. He’s a typical rich kid causing havoc everywhere he goes. Attitude for days. Couldn’t help but agree that the best place for him would be the last place he would want to be! Noah is his opposite. Quiet, sweet, and completely selfless. It’s a match made in heaven really. Noah has lived a sheltered life, so you can see his attraction to the wild and impulsive man. And he’s exactly what Alex needs. Someone to show him care and attention. This is an epic love story that spans many years, along

REVIEW: Teddy by Emmy Sanders (Elite 8 Studios #5)

  TEDDY Elite 8 Studios - Book Five by Emmy Sanders Release Date: April 25, 2024 Review A little bit of kinky and a whole lot of tenderness. I love it when authors have different styles of series or books.  Emmy first came onto the scene with a gorgeous, emotional, and angsty series, but then also brought us the Elite 8 Studio series. Written with the same quality but lighter and more playful.  It’s a great balance. ‘Teddy’ is all about found family and creating a life that feels safe and warm and accepting. Teddy, the man, is such an easygoing and thoughtful guy. He’s a total Daddy. Even if he’s tried to erect some walls after a betrayal he endured. Something about Kipp draws him in, but he fights it, until one night when he wakes up married to that very man. Kipp is kind of an adorable hot mess. A total people-pleaser. You can see why Teddy wants to look after him.  There’s a wonderful progression to this story, plenty of humour, and a lot of exploration. Also, with the support of th

REVIEW: Akira by Kota Quinn (Black Cat Circus: Pearl of Fate #3)

  AKIRA Black Cate Circus: Pearl of Fate - Book Three by Kota Quinn Release Date: April 26, 2024 Review One of the things I enjoy about series like this is they push me out of my usual box. Kitsune you say? First I’ve heard of it, but now I have a foxy kink. I loved the ‘trying to not like him, but fate has other ideas’ vibes. Rivery is wary of Akira, the intriguing man who largely keeps to himself. River’s life is also in upheaval having finally been united with his brother, learning of the paranormal, and trying to decide the direction of his life. Akira is also trying to figure out what’s next in life. Having fled his home from people after him for his fur. Leaving behind his best friend. These two have the perfect connection - one kitsune, one human obsessed with kitsune lore and is the basis for their being able to build trust, friendship, and ultimately love. They have some fantastic chemistry, full of exploration. But also plenty of sweetness and lovely support for one another&#
