TASTY TENTACLES

Tinsel and Tentacles 3.0 

by David Gray

Release Date: December 5, 2025

Review

I enjoyed the premise of this story, and it had a good mix of serious topics and light-hearted Christmassy goodness.


Orion’s tentacles aren’t always received well by people, including his boyfriend. But he finds his people when he’s befriended by the doctor he’s consulting and his husband, the baker he crushes on daily.


Bertie and Hideo are on a mission to woo Orion and help him fall in love with himself.


It’s a cute, quick read.

Synopsis

For all his life, Orion has kept his furry tentacles hidden, even though they’re hanging there, right on his chin, masquerading as a beard. This year, he’s had enough of being a fuzzy Cthulhu freak, and as a gift to himself, he’s made a resolution to do something about them. Now, his plastic surgeon and the flirty owner of his favorite bakery have the holiday season to talk him out of it and together explore the tasty enticements those tentacles have to offer.

Tasty Tentacles is a rather spicy gay romance with polyamory, a happy ending, and lots of holiday cheer. It is a standalone quick-read novella intended for adult readers, presented as part of the Tinsel and Tentacles 3.0 series.

gay romance ~ hurt/comfort ~ found family ~ body positivity ~ MMM polyamory ~ low angst

REVIEW: All I Fear by Abrianna Denae (All's Fair #2)

  ALL I FEAR All’s Fair - Book Two by Abrianna Denae Release Date: September 19, 2023 Review protective, possessive and violent men.  Tennant and Hollis are an incredible pair. Kinky in the wildest way, they are everything and I adored them (even if slightly disturbed too).   Roman is heir to the Amato family and Tennant, as second in command, must shape him into the man he needs to be to one day takeover. Roman is a bit bratty and wild. Truthfully I don’t really care for him, but he certainly makes for an interesting dynamic to both Tennent and Hollis’ lives. I also love the addition of the odd chapter by other people’s view points, it adds a really interesting dynamic and keeps you tied to all the characters in the series.

He’s calculating and lethal, his antisocial personality disorder provides him with the perfect tools for the Amatos to turn him into their deadlie...

  PERCOLATION PLAY Leather and Lattes - Book Three by Katherine McIntyre Release Date: March 25, 2025 Review Kai is starting over. Leaving Colliers Creek behind, and all the people who know him possibly too well. It’s a chance to explore things that weren’t previously possible. Namely his bisexuality and interest in kink. Through his exploration, he meets Ezra and Sloan, two men who carry a common trauma. All three of them are missing that feeling of being seen and loved for who they are in the here and now. It’s a touching story of three men finding themselves with each other, mixed with a bit of danger and suspense. Which is a great way to highlight the incredible family that Whipped has created. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Kai’s new to bisexuality, new to the area, and new to the scene, but when he stumbles onto wild chemistry with not one man but two…he’s in for the ride of a lifetime. When Kai signs up for a class at Whipped, he never expected attraction to fl...
