  DATE IN A PINCH Naughty in Pendleton the Game - Book One by Brigham Vaughn Release Date: February 11, 2021 Audio Release Date: January 6, 2026 Review Flipping the Switch from the series was my first Brigham, kink & MMM, and I knew I was going to be a devotee to Brigham.  So it’s a little embarrassing that it’s taken so long to read the others in this series, but their coming out in audiobook has been the perfect excuse! And James Edward Jones is a wonderful narrator, who really captured the characters and the vibes of the series.

An accidental reveal in the mailroom at the school Alexander and Neil teach at brought these two together in the most delicious way. What started as exploration and teaching Neil about the possibilities of kink, not meant to be anything more, shifted to quiet nights, sharing TV series, dates-not-dates, and knowing the person inside and out. Until fa...

  WRAITH Crestvale Killers - Book Two by Mia Monroe Release Date: April 12, 2026 Review Pax and Wraith were a really entertaining pair. I loved the professional hockey player meets hired hitman storyline. So unique. Wraith is stalking his mark, who apparently attends hockey when it’s in town. But he’s distracted by a certain hockey player. Paxon isn’t out, but he’s willing to take some risks with the sexy man with the unusual name. As walls tumble, the truth wins out, including that perhaps he should be helping his mark, not killing him. As wild as the story seems, it works, and the characters are all intriguing, complex men. They may find love with someone unexpected, but that love is perfect. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis To keep him I’ll have to break the one rule I never thought I would.
