Review: With a Kiss

With a Kiss by Kim Dare

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Kim Dare is known for her steamy BDSM writing. Doms, subs, leather, whipping, spanking, bondage; you'll find that and more in her work. But I think this is hands down my favorite story of hers. While it is a BDSM romance, it's so much more. Liam is a volunteer at a hospital. He sits with a patient and chats to keep them company. He has been assigned to Marcus (a vampire, but apparently that's ok in this reality. Though that's never really explained, they are fully intergrated with human society), who has been in a coma for three years. Liam also has an abusive boyfriend. After a bad beating, he ends up waking Marcus up with a chaste kiss on New Years Eve.

And what follows next is such an amazing love story. Liam is frightened of most things, but Marcus treats him with such care and patience (all the while suffering from the after effects of a vampire being in a coma for three years). Liam opening up to Marcus (and the outside world) and Marcus' feelings for his 'pet' is just such a fantastic read.

A great twist on a classic fairytale!!

Review: One Real Thing

One Real Thing by Anah Crow

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



OMG, the love I have for this book knows no bounds.Everything about this book hits my hot spots. The characters, the pacing, the writing, the relationship (the subtle...and then not-so-subtle D/S overtones throughout the book were spot-on and fucking perfect). I even enjoyed the secondary characters as they were pretty well fleshed out. It's a friends-to-lovers story, but so.much.more. Watching Holly and Nick each crash and burn in their respective lives and then figure out what they have both been missing out on is just amazing. I can't recommend this book enough!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



4 stars! I freakin loved this! I had no idea what was going to happen...and then I had to keep reading to find out what happens next! And its book one! Can't wait until the next book! (seriously, when is it coming out?)

Pure, fantasy m/m sci-fi (which was exactly what I was in the mood for and just didn't know it) :)

Review: Perfect Day

Perfect Day by Josh Lanyon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



5 stars. Loved this! It's only shy of 30 pages, but you can't even tell when your done reading. Most short stories leave you wanting more, but this one was just perfect. You get to know Graham and Wyatt and their emotions are spot-on.

Recommended!

Review: Let There Be Light

Let There Be Light by R. Cooper

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



3.5 stars rounded up to 4. Really, really wanted a little more at the end. What happens next!?!?

The sexual tension between the characters was great and liked the steampunk setting.

Review: Play It Again, Charlie

Play It Again, Charlie by R. Cooper

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



3.5-4 stars. I really enjoyed this one. I liked the slow pace and adored both characters. I do wish we got to see Charlie from Will's POV once in awhile. (and I think I'm developing a daddy!kink because that smexxin' was pretty hot!)

These guys did need to communicate better! I was confused for alot of their conversations for the simple fact that they were confused by what the other wanted or meant. Loved how it all turned out and would love to read more of this couple.

Review: The Psychic and the Sleuth

The Psychic and the Sleuth by Bonnie Dee

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This is my first book by this writing team, and let me tell you, I loved it! I have a few other books by these authors on my TBR list and I'll be moving them to the top.

Really enjoyed both characters (especially Oliver) and the paranormal aspect of the story. And the sexxin' between these two? I thought it was smokin' hot!

Recommended!
