The Demon LoverThe Demon Lover by Juliet Dark

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


First let’s say this book was not what I expected. When I received Demon Lover from Net Gallery I thought oh this looks good and it did not disappoint. The beginning the book started off a bit slow but do not get discouraged it moves along pretty fast and before you know it your half way done. There are some twists and turns in the novel which kept me very intrigued.



Juliet Dare writes this story in the first person; it flows nicely, easy to read and is well written. This seems to be her first book published under the name Juliet Dare, but she also writes under the name of Carol Goodman. Her writing style is good and I will check out both names to see what else is published out there.



So the story begins with us meeting Callie McFay, she is in the small town of Fairwick for an interview for a teaching position at the local college. As we get to know Callie we learn about the loss of her parents and her childhood spirit/shadow that comforted her at night by telling her stories like her parents used to.



As she is trying to settle in to her new home and job her spirit/ shadow returns to her at night and takes the form of a handsome and seductive man. Now her dreams have changed into him taking her body and ravishing her in the most satisfying ways. Callie soon figures out that these may not be dreams at all and things are starting to feel very real. She does not realize that she is being possessed by an incubus.



As Callie learns more about the town of Fairwich and figures out her dream lover is a demon who was banished to live in the shadow world and gains human form by feeding off his prey.



Everyone seems to be working together to cast out the demon/incubus, Callie is now very torn how will she be able to help banish her demon lover?

BulliedBullied by Jeff Erno

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is one of those books you come across that you think most people should read and maybe every school should put it on their reading list.



A collection of short stories some are very emotional to read but in my opinion was worth every tear I shed.



I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Excellent is all I can say.

Bear, Otter, and the KidBear, Otter, and the Kid by T.J. Klune

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book is not just a love story between two men; this is a love story between two brothers and their friends. The story starts when Bear’s mother decides to leave her two son’s for a man, leaving a note and just over 100 dollars telling him to take care of Tyson his 6 year old brother and make sure to pay the rent each month.



The story is written in present tense and there is a lot of dialogue inside bear’s head, also some flashbacks to the past and present time. Even though the story was difficult to read it was written beautifully I was tempted a few times to skim some of the dialogue in Bears head as it felt like there was just too much. But I kept reading not allowing myself to put the book down. I will say it was worth the read, and I gave the book a 5 star rating.



The friendship between Creed, Otter and Bear is strong until Bear kissed Otter, Otter takes this change in Bears behaviour as something he may have pushed or somehow coerced Bear into feeling. Otter flees for 3 year, to cover this up. Bear has never been the same since the day Otter left, knowing deep down he feels like a part of him is missing.



The coming together, the struggles Bear faces when he realizes he is in love with a man, who happens to be his best friend’s older brother, and the daily struggles he has taking care of his brother and facing his mother years later. This is a story that I would recommend and is a must read.

Exclusively Yours (Kowalski Family, #1)Exclusively Yours by Shannon Stacey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is a love story of high school sweethearts reuniting, Kari Daniels is a reporter for a celebrity magazine, when her boss finds out she is a friend/high school sweetheart of Joseph Kowalski, bestselling reclusive author, Keri gets ordered to get the story or lose her job.

The love story between these two is hot and you want them to reunite at least to have hot steamy sex. But will Keri sell Joe down the river, will she fall back in love. Can the Kowalski family forgive her for breaking their son/brothers heart. Well you will just have to read it.

This is the first book in the Kowalski family series, and it was funny and had many laughable moments. I would recommend it.

Shannon Stacey writing is easy to read flows well, her books for me are the kind you read at one sitting as I don’t want to put down. In this series I have noticed and really like that she always includes a side story of another couples struggles or love life. Like I said earlier I really like her writing style.

18% Gray

18% Gray18% Gray by Anne Tenino

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really didn’t expect to enjoy this story as much as I did. I kept seeing it and would pass it by when I read the information on it. Then I saw a review from a friend here on Goodreads who rated it 5 stars.
It was then I considered maybe I should take a look at it again.
I still figured I wouldn’t enjoy it as one it is a futuristic book and the other is I am Canadian and reading about USA being separated and fighting wasn’t something I thought I would enjoy in a m/m romance story.
But in saying that I was really shocked at how much I enjoyed the book, it kept me interested and I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I liked both characters the sex scenes were hot, the story was comical at times and made me laugh out loud.
It is a well written book and the way the author wrote the book to be funny, cleaver and a bit over the top at times it was a great read. It was not to confusing for a futuristic novel, I am hoping for a sequel.

In a future where the United States has split along party lines, Agent Matt Tennimore's job is to get people out of the Confederated Red States, whether they're captured special ops agents from his own country or gay CRS citizens who've petitioned for asylum. He never expected to have to retrieve his high school crush, aka the guy who ostracized him for being gay.
Rescuing James Ayala isn't going to be easy: he's crawling with tracking nanos and has a cybernetic brain implant that's granted him psychic power he isn't sure how to control. That's the good news. The bad? The implant is compromising James's mental stability.

So they're on the run, avoiding surveillance by AI aircraft and hiding from enemy militia. Then James confesses he tormented Matt in high school because James wanted him. Matt can't resist the temptation James offers, but he wants so much more than sex, assuming they ever make it home alive. Is James really a good bet when he's got a ticking time bomb in his brain and there's the question of how much he's actually changed?

Blind Items

Blind ItemsBlind Items by Kate McMurray

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Drew is a journalist and is assigned a job to find out information on the son of an anti-gay Senator who is in the running for President.

Johnathon is the son of Richard Granger, Senator and Presidential candidate, who is deeply in the closet and the fear of what would happen if his father or the press finds out his secret.



This story is well written; I really liked both characters and how they were portrayed as intelligent sexy men. As the story develops Drew knows he won’t go back in the closet and Johnathon is still terrified to come out of his. I kept turning the pages to see what was going to happen, if you enjoy m/m romance novels this one is for you.



So the downfall to the story is the ending, there was no epilogue and it left me wanting to know how the father reacted how Drew and Johnathon are? I am seriously hoping for a sequel. And I definitely will buy it when it hits the shelves.
