I started reading this series almost five years ago and here we are at book ten.It never gets boring,I look forward to each book with the same enthusiasm every time and have never been disappointed.
I can't remember which book Mark was introduced in and at first I didn't warm to him but if ever a character has grown and matured it's him.Honestly,I can't get enough of him. Deciding to leave his past behind him,for the last two years he's been living a low key-almost blissful life with Griffith. But,his past life is about to make a dramatic return and he can't hide things from his boyfriend any longer.
I loved the direction the Authors took with this book as the whole story moves to it's conclusion. It's a fine line Mark has been walking but at the end of the day he just wants to protect Griff from the darkness of his world.But the more lies that are told,the more Griff wants answers but will he still want Mark when the truth is revealed.
"How many people have you killed that it came to you so easily(...)"
"I don't know.At some point I stopped counting."
Mark went full throttle into badass mode and I couldn't get enough.Talk about hot!! He wrestled with his love for Griff and his commitment to his family and the outcome? ....you'll just have to read it and find out but suffice to say fans of this series will absolutely not be disappointed.The closer we get to the end of these highly complex characters lives and their story,I'm excited and dreading it at the same time.I know i won't want to say goodbye...

My gorgeous men...
Well,not mine but as a reader you kind of think they are yours,right? I've got nothing but admiration for Authors whose characters get inside their heads and they share them with us.
This was delighted,sexy(as hell),touching and damn,if this Author doesn't make me cry every single time...
Firstly,a few chapters from Tej and Jude and it was what I wanted(who knew?).Remember when they met...in the bar...I always wanted more...
And,hello....talk about dirty!!
The rest of the book is dedicated to Stef and Jav.I say dedicated because you can feel this Author's love for these two.And again,there are chapters here I didn't know I wanted,turns out I did.Honestly I really want to say more but I won't-no spoilers here.If you've read the Venery series you won't want to miss this little gem.
I don't think I'll ever not want to read about this Author's men.Her words,as usual,move me every time.One of the best at writing oh so dirty sex and at the same time with so much feeling and love.

Yes!!
More Rain & Danny & delicious banter...
When I read the first book, P.S. I Spook You I pretty much fell in love with this Author so this was just such a pleasant surprise...
My boys-Danny and Rain.I couldn't love them more.This was the perfect mix of ghostly goings on,mystery,and relationship.
It would have been so easy for the Author to add angst,relationship drama here for the two men (many would have I imagine), but she didn't.What you get is two men who are pretty much perfect together and definitely perfect to read about.They're sassy,snarky,passionate....and hello,I'd forgotten how well she can write sex scenes.No unnecessary drawn out foreplay or pages and pages of descriptive scenes.She manages to show desperation with emotion and chemistry that is off the charts.
Add into the mix a ghost story with an outcome I didn't see coming and this was a joy to read...
Recommended read-but you'll need to read book one first to get the vibe and fully appreciate these men.❤️❤️...more

“You’re wild,” North whispered, straddling him, his cotton tee so rough on Shaw’s overly sensitive body that Shaw let out a gasp. North’s hands took him over again. “You’re so fucking wild today.” (...)
Happy sigh.My gorgeous men are back and this book certainly delivered.
Gregory Ashe has created the perfect mix of mystery/action and relationship drama.
North and Shaw might finally be together but things are far from idyllic.Due to his past Shaw is still struggling with intimacy so they still have hurdles to jump.And Shaw seems intent on not letting go of the past....the man who turned his life upside down so many years ago is ever present in his thoughts and when his ex,Jadon is attacked his determination to find out the identity of The West End Slasher is paramount for him.Is it more important than North though?
Wow! I never saw something coming here,honestly.I like to think I'm a bit of a sleuth sometimes,I can normally work things out....not here though.
I cannot gush enough about how much I absolutely love this series and North and Shaw.This isn't a fluffy boy meets boy story full of sunshine and roses.Their relationship is complex to say the least but it feels so real.
I love everything about these men,
They are pretty much perfect for me.Great banter,sexual chemistry in spades.These two are one of the hottest couples I've read about-flaws and all.In fact the flaws somehow make them better together.
One final thought....Jadon...if he doesn't get his HEA at the end of this series I'm going to hunt the Author down......
Highly recommended.I could read about Shaw and North forever.

Going into this final instalment I had no idea what to expect.Trust these Authors to turn all the madness and chaos into something that turned out to be romantic in a way.
With Boar still missing to say things are at breaking point is an understatement.But at the centre of everything is Clover doing his best to try and hold things together for these men.
Relationships are tested to the limit as the men try and come to terms with recent events but I was never in doubt they would all come out the other side.
And hello....Drake and Tank!! I was totally waiting for that to happen and it was beautifully written.It wasn't just sex at all.
It's always sad when a series ends and you have to say goodbye to characters you've grown to love but I'm so glad I went on this crazy journey with these guys.

Tyler was a bit overwhelmed afterwards...he wasn't the only one!

Just being with him feels like home should always do.

I get ridiculously excited when I see Lily Morton has a new book coming out. I've been dying to get my hands on Milo,so to speak,and it didn't disappoint.This is turning out to be a delightful series set in the beautiful county of Cornwall.This Author creates some fantastic couples that you can't help fall in love with.
Milo has always been a bit over shadowed by his older brother Gideon who is much more confident and out going than Milo.When he was younger he followed him and his best friend,Niall around like a puppy and had a hopeless crush on Niall.
Milo finds himself trapped in a highly dysfunctional relationship when Niall swoops in and rescues him taking him home to Cornwall to lick his wounds,get his life back on track and hopefully learn to trust someone again.He had no idea that person might be his childhood crush.....he's tried to deny his feelings for Niall.....but for how long.
For his part, Niall just saw Milo as his best friends younger brother but things are about to get complicated.He's always been protective of Milo but is it just concern or something more that's been there all along?
Milo might appear to be a bit broken but underneath there's a quiet determination about him.The last thing he needs is another man like his ex....bossy and controlling and he's terrified of not being enough for someone.Niall recognizes that Milo has to make his own decisions and is so patient and caring with him I'm sure I had a few tears threatening.
These two are super cute together ( I adored the time they were looking after Cora....who,by the way might just be a baby but was an invaluable part in the story).Along with the cuteness and great banter this is also extremely hot.
AND THE EPILOGUE....
Lily Morton is one of the absolute best Authors at this.Tears might have threatened before but they were definitely present here.I absolutely love this delightful world she has created here....you know when you read a book and the characters feel so real,like friends,like people you would enjoy being around?

I honestly don't know why I haven't read this sooner.Every book I've read by this Author has been a hit for me and this is right up there.She's fast becoming one of my favourites.
Mac is sassy,sarcastic,and sexy as sin.Told only from his POV, I loved being inside his head.Working as a Private Investigator he meets Jordan while on a job who hires him to watch his fiance....
Yes,Jordan is straight(or so he thinks) and what you get is pretty explosive sexual tension between these two guys.There's no skirting around with these two-the attraction is too strong and it's so damn dirty I was swooning.They go at it A LOT.....and I didn't skip a single scene,I'm pretty sure I re read a few.Their chemistry was off the charts!! Add in some great banter and fantastic supporting characters and this was a total winner for me.
I thought maybe I could kiss Jordan forever, that maybe if the world was ending and fire was raining down all around us, I would reach up for just one more kiss like this.

If this is the final book in the Skins Series, it's just the perfect ending.I'm really going to miss these men-I can't imagine what it must be like for an Author to say goodbye to their characters.
This Christmas novella,kind of,comes full circle-ending with more from Dylan and Angelo whose story is the first book in this series.Told only from each men's pov we still get more from the other couples in this series and I'm sure I had a huge grin on my face here.These three couples,whose lives have been intertwined,are all pretty special in their own way.
Dylan and Angelo are,without doubt,at a Crossroads in their lives but I never doubted at any time they would make it.
For only a short read the Author managed to take the reader into each couple's relationship with ease.Honestly,I could read about these guys all day long.
-The build up to Christmas on a farm in Cornwall couldn't have been more perfect,
-There's something so special that happens,that I didn't see coming at all,
-A sex scene involving 4 men(kind of) that was super HOT!....not saying anything else-just read it and find out
If you haven't read this series or this Author before and are into MM romance,don't hesitate.
Recommended read,without any doubt.

I've been fully immersed in David and Murdo's story this week and my only regret is that I didn't finish this series sooner.
Trust me,if you're a fan of MM romance and Historical romance this series is a MUST read.
I'm very late to the party here,there are so many great reviews about so I'll just say....MURDO....I honestly couldn't love a character more...
I feel as though I should be quoting Shakespeare...something profound to explain how much I adored this character but I'll just show how much I was into him,

Three books in and this is turning into a highly addictive series.This one pulled me in from the start and didn't let go...
Dominic and Levi are in a good place emotionally when the book opens.There are sweet moments and some seriously hot one's as well.After reading the blurb for book four (big mistake!), I kind of knew what to expect but that didn't make it any less dramatic and the further I got into the book,the more I read with growing trepidation.Having an idea of how things would play out and how they actually do are two very different things...
Career wise,
Dominic has just started a new job as a Private Investigator and the case he's assigned to of a missing women is about to test his resolve to it's very limits...
Levi is getting more and more frustrated with his inability to catch the elusive Seven of Spades killer and add into the mix an all out gang war on the streets of Las Vegas and he seems to be pulled in every direction and increasingly unable to spend so much time with Dominic...
Cordelia Kingsbridge has created some truly great couples in her stories and Dominic and Levi are no exception.These two men are just meant to be together.I adore them individually and together they are explosive,although definitely not always pretty.Both struggling with ever present demons from their pasts...will their love be enough?
Although it was important to the story I got a bit bored with the gang war aspect and kind of felt the Seven of Spades took a bit of a back seat here.Having said that the mystery surrounding his/her identity is building nicely and I'm more than a bit fascinated by the fixation with Levi.I've had my theory on who it is from book one and my opinion is still the same...
Seriously,September can't come soon enough...I'm completely enthralled by this series.
Highly Recommended.

Seven books in and this series just gets better and better and how many series can you say that about?After years of reading MM romance books,Dom and Seth are still my favourite couple.In this book K.A. Merikan once again grab your attention and don't let go in what is my favourite book in the series so far.
[image]
This one is brutal in terms of Dom and Seth's relationship....
Seth seems to have the perfect life.Lazy days spent with their daughter Angelica,tending to his beloved chickens and hours spent in his beautiful kitchen creating wonderful food for his family.And,really,whatever he wants he eventually gets from Dom.But resentment is starting to creep up on him.Is he really happy being Dom's Trophy husband?....he might have the T shirt but is it enough?
For his part Dom is determined to keep the ugliness out of Seth's life as far as his work is concerned.After all Seth made it very clear he wants no part in any violence but is Dom's over protectiveness about to back fire in the worst way when a new face arrives at their home turning their world into chaos.
No matter how strong their love is will it be enough this time?
As usual,these Authors don't hold back.....they are never afraid to go there... and there are some shocking moments here but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Reading a new chapter in Dom and Seth's life always,without fail,makes me happy because along with the violence and self destruction it's a powerful love story,definitely not always pretty but completely compelling.......

Well,this was more than a pleasant surprise.I haven't read many menage books but this one is extremely well done.
Three men....
Thomas and Boris are happily married when they employ Hans as their cleaner/house keeper.
Hans is gay so has no problem with their relationship but what he wasn't quite prepared for was Boris and his......let's just say,uniqueness...
I absolutely loved Boris.His vulnerability,his eccentricities,his sensuality.Thomas,on the other hand was stoic,reserved but had such a caring nature.
But what happens when rules are set and then get slowly broken down?......You get something quite delicious!
I think a menage relationship is a difficult one to get right but this Author has managed it here and made it totally believable.Nothing felt forced or staged.Things just fit into place perfectly!
The sign of a good book for me,is if I can't put it down and look forward to getting back to it and that's definitely the case here.I really enjoyed this and the Epilogue was just perfect.

Loving this series.

The second short story in The Order Series.The first one was from Ervyn's pov,this one is from Lochan's and I couldn't wait to get inside his head and it definitely didn't disappoint.
This one picks up 4 months after The Mutt ended and Ervyn and Lochan are 'together' and let me just say these two are delicious!
Lochan will be serving in The Scouts,an elite unit and Ervyn in The Queens Order.With their impending separation looming Lochan is conflicted and tries to put distance between them....
As a trained Assassin he's used to being in complete control but not where Ervyn is concerned.I loved their sexy times-the sex scenes are not overly graphic but what you do get in very hot,Ervyn is a bit bossy in the bedroom if you know what I mean,
All at once, I found myself overwhelmed by a pang of yearning for his lips on mine. Insatiable and impertinent. Insistent. The mere memory of the way he would grip my chin and pull me down to meet his mouth —so rough and entitled —sent blood rushing to my groin. Why did I love the way he took liberties with my body? Why did I allow it? (...)
But it's sweet as well.Ervyn is deliciously possessive over Lochan and wants to take care of him,
“Come now.” In the near darkness, I heard a smile in his voice . “Let me tuck you into bed, mu’hrōnye.”
This series is ticking so many boxes for me,
-the fantasy element is captivating,
-great writing,
-wonderful scene setting,
-the connection between the two MCs has all the makings of an epic love story.
One more short story to come before the main event and I can't wait!

Linton is an Architect and has just returned back to the UK after 3 months in America where he was sent by his boss Max,after he was involved in an office scandal..He returns to his flat to find his younger,addicted,brother in bed with a man and a woman who paid him for sex.Not only that but the flat is a mess.He completely flips and kicks Dirk out.....a decision that will have far reaching consequences.....
Thorne is an upcoming Actor.Extremely good looking but a bit arrogant.He's bi sexual and has recently gone through a very public break up with Owen ( Max's brother )
Thorne and Linton are the main characters but there are a LOT of secondary characters interwoven into the story when a plan for revenge is set in motion.
Max wants revenge on Thorne for publicly humiliating his brother (Owen) and also for his reputation being tarnished.What better way than for Thorne to fall for someone,only to be dumped and humiliated the same way Owen was......
Linton finds himself drawn into the plan for revenge.He's put in an impossible position.......he wants no part in seducing Thorne but fate transpires against him when he needs money.....and quickly.
This Author has created some fantastic MM couples and Linton and Thorne are no exception.They have great chemistry and the sex scenes are smoking hot but what I loved the most was the banter between them.....some of the best I've read.
I found this compulsive reading although a bit confusing at times with so many characters introduced.Still,though,an enjoyable read that I would recommend.
If you've read Dirty Angel by this Author,you'll love the tiny part it plays here.Thorne is cast as Aden in an upcoming movie of the book.A really nice touch I thought.
