With one in Canada and the other in England, and both in professional sports, it seemed like they might be doomed, even though they so clearly needed one another. Becca pulled it off in such a satisfying way that makes you smile and feel warm inside. And Cody meeting Jude’s teammates - had me grinning.

  REBOUND by Kate Hawthorne Club Rapture: Risk Aware - Book One Release Date: September 8, 2025 Review Kate is such a solid kink writer. And really good at creating relationship dynamics that are both dom/sub, but also just two men building a relationship. Marshall is a solid and caring man, for all those he loves, and even young men who are talented and skilled but aren’t being respected by the father they work for?  And the way he helps Silas come into his own, giving him the space to be himself, and the care to let him be free of all that worries and stresses him. It was a lovely (and spicy) journey, with some equally lovely side stories about brothers and best friends, all of whom I hope we get to see again soon.

  MATCHED LSU - Book Five by Becca Steele Release Date: July 10, 2025 Review Two straight boys and a whole lot of chemistry!! It’s always adorable when a guy thinks the other is just a really great friend, until the penny drops and he realizes he has a crush. In this case…x2. They meet accidentally and develop a bromance with the added and uncomfortable twist of a sister in the mix.  It’s a great story, and though the premise may seem a little wild, it works really well, and they are a fantastic pair. And I love the path of their story. There’s a lot of self-denial of feelings, but in the end, they find their way to a wonderful ending.
