  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.

  A ONE-TIME THING by Kate Hawthorne & EM Denning Release Date: January 30, 2025 Review I’m a sucker for a grump! Especially a grump who can’t say no to a kid. Gil is a loner who keeps everyone at arms length and I love every minute of him. Especially as the kind, optimistic neighbour, Rowan, manages to work his way under his skin. Well him and his son. The closed-off ones always fall the sweetest and their no-strings hook-up of convenience was a lot of fun to watch as each late-night knock brings them closer and closer to love. Both of them are great guys and ones that you will root for and want to be friends with. And Rowan’s son is a wonderful addition to the story.
