REVIEW: Micah by Stella Shaw (Love at the Haven #3)

Image
  MICAH Love at Haven - Book Three by Stella Shaw Release Date: April 11, 2021 Audio Release Date: August 24, 2026 Review I love a story that embraces sex work, and Love at the Haven Series gives you that, and a great found family too. Not surprisingly, Micah and Fox meet at the Haven, when popstar Fox shows up looking to meet his needs away from the public eye. It’s obviously not straightforward as they develop a connection quickly, but Micah doesn’t know who Fox is, works multiple jobs to pay his own expenses and help his family, and is a rent boy. So when the truth is out, the pull is real, but so is the fear of real life. Fox also has his own struggles despite the growing fame and popularity. It’s a lovely story, and if you enjoy audiobooks, you’re in for a treat because Dan Calley is the narrator and… *chef’s kiss* Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Micah and Fox weren’t each other’s first choice - but might they be the last? Easygoing Micah takes the role of peacema...

REVIEW: Pretty Dogs by Riley Nash (Dirty Strays #2)

  PRETTY DOGS Dirty Strays - Book Two by Riley Nash Release Date: December 8, 2023 Audio Release Date: February 23, 2024 Review Riley writes incredibly powerful stories that draw so many emotions from deep within you.  Gritty real life, complicated life decisions, the messy impact those decisions can have, and love that encompasses you.  As well as a really amazing found family that is entirely codependent, and oddly beautiful because of it. Dallas and Beck are best friends who are in each other's pockets and depend on one another for survival, but are also so caught up in the chaos of their own struggles and pain that they also fail to share things that truly matter. And it's that lack of communication that threatens their beautiful friendship and chance at love. Finding their way through is not easy or magically happy…it’s messy, but honest and full of love, which makes it all the more satisfying. If you love audiobooks, I highly recommend this one.  Firstly, is du...

REVIEW: Unspoken Vow by Eden Finley (Steele Brothers #2)

Image
UNSPOKEN VOW Steele Brothers - Book Two by Eden Finley Release Date: July 9, 2019 Review A touching story about our other twin, and everything behind his behaviour and the tension between the brothers. Anders…his story is heartbreaking but hopeful. And though he struggles with seeing a bright future for himself, he keeps trying, even when its not easy. Brody is a gentle giant who, yes, is attracted to Anders, but he’s also a caring man who just wants to help. As steadfast Brody keeps showing up for Anders, we learn the truths, and they are able to find love. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis He's everything I want but run away from. There’s a long list of things I don’t handle well: Change. Relationships. Breakups. But there’s one person above everything else I can’t seem to get a handle on. Brody Wallace. In short, he’s perfect. The reality, he scares me. He’s the opposite of what I usually go for. He’s bigger. Intimidating. He reminds me of someone I’d rather forget. W...

AUDIO REVIEW: Made to Oder by Brigham Vaughn (Naughty in Pendleton #3)

Image
  MADE TO ORDER Naughty in Pendleton - Book Three by Brigham Vaughn Release Date: July 9, 2021 Audio Release Date: July 14, 2026 Review Have I mentioned that Brigham is part of the reason I fell for kink? Especially this small town goodness with a kind of kink that’s just a part of life. I do also particularly like her depiction of kink. Her style of writing, the descriptions of fun times, all of it just works especially well for me. And these two; Chef and Bar Manager who start off irritating each other at every opportunity, who discover that there is the possibility for something different, something more fun, something real, are everything. Donovan is still off kilter by his previous relationship ending the way it did. The years spent trying to make something work that was meant to be. He’s made to be a Dom, to care of someone. Tyler craves being able to lay down the weight of the world he’s carrying, for someone to help pick it up for him.  Only he had no idea that was an ...

AUDIO REVIEW: Dripped by Charlie Novak (Lick It! #2)

Image
  DRIPPED Lick It! - Book Two by Charlie Novak Release Date: July 9, 2026 Review How could you not fall in love with a guy whose job is creating ice cream flavours!?! Darcy is the force behind Heather Bay’s newest business. But the stress of running the shop, starting a new business, creating the ice cream…he’s one dropped ice cream cone away from melting down.   Which summer hire, Owen sees.  He’s attracted to Darcy, but when he sees how stressed he is, he suggests some fun outside the kitchen. Darcy is a nomad, never committing. To people or places. So he’s definitely leaving at the end of the summer. Except, when you find that perfect flavour, you can’t walk away. Note about the audiobook…it’s narrated by Dan Calley, whom is a dream to listen to.  So yes, I highly recommend this as an audiobook, and in truth any book narrated by Dan! Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Drip It All Over Me Fulfilling my childhood wish of opening an ice cream shop is m...

REVIEW: THE LOST ART OF SEDUCING A MAGE WARRIOR by Ellie Ash

Image
THE LOST ART OF SEDUCING A MAGE WARRIOR The Lost Arts - Book One by Ellie Ash Release Date: May 16, 2025 Audio Release Date: November 11, 2025 Narrated by: Iggy Toma Review A great world that Ellie has created. Fullsome, diverse, and has an interesting throughline that follows the series. Brannel and Perian are a fun match. The head of Mage warriors, a fighter, with powerful magic. And the personable and affable, who people love. There is some angst between them as they learn to navigate their growing feelings and how to meld their worlds together, but they are sweet and learn how to communicate and share their feelings. There are also some wonderful side characters to make this realm feel fullsome. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Perian’s visit to the royal city is proving to be a lot more than he bargained for when he's faced with a bossy little girl, a very opinionated horse, and only one bed to share with a handsome Mage Warrior. Perian's life is transformed ut...
