SACRED VIRTUES

Sins of the Sacred Series

by Jem Wendel

Release Date: June 3, 2026

Review

This was a really wonderful premise, the history of the dissolution of a monastery. 


It’s a fascinating world, and really intriguing characters. Especially being gay in both the age but also being in the monastery.


I would definitely be interested in more from this world.


My only hiccup was that the language sometimes felt too modern for 1539. Especially the intimate moments.

REVIEW: Resting Beach Face by DJ Jamison (Swallow Cove #4)

  RESTING BEACH FACE Swallow Cove - Book Four by DJ Jamison Release Date: February 20, 2025 Review Declan is so beautiful. Quiet, a little grumpy, a little withdrawn, and maybe a little lost and lonely. Then there’s Cash - outgoing, sexual, and completely obsessed with Declan.  It’s a slow burn. One that requires both of them to shift their understanding of each other, and time to truly learn and understand both themselves and the other. I love both the trajectory of the relationship as well as the life and home they build.  It’s a truly wonderful pairing that may be my favourite in the series. Sure I see a bit of myself in Declan, but I also just adore the way Cash grew and how they balanced each other. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis He could have anyone he wants...so why is he so interested in me? Cash is a gorgeous chaotic bi guy with a reputation for getting around. And me? I'm the antisocial grump, closed off and lonely. We should be like oil and water....

  SWEET LIKE WHISKEY The Darling Brothers - Book One by Emmy Sanders Release Date: October 24, 2024 Audible Release Date: May 2, 2025 Review The story alone is wonderful, but the story with Kale Williams' narration is absolute perfection. Seriously, I could listen to this one over and over. I love me a grumpy cowboy. Seriously, they are my kryptonite. If you ever hear me announce I’m moving to the country, it’ll be for that reason!! Jackson is the quiet caretaker of the family. The one who would do anything for them. He’s thoughtful and patient. And definitely not prepared for Ash. The wayward man who’s found his fresh start on the ranch. Ash is bright and lovely. When he takes the job, he doesn’t expect to love it, but it, the ranch, and countryside are perfect for him. I love them together, the way they come together and build something solid.  But I also really just love this family of brothers. So different, but also cut from the same cloth, and tight the way ranch boys ar...

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. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Tennant Mason is the Amato Family’s Second in Command. He’s calculating and lethal, his antisocial personality disorder provides him with the perfect tools for the Amatos to turn him into their deadlie...
