Review: Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend by Emma R. Alban

Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend (Mischief & Matchmaking #1) by Emma R. Alban My Rating: 4 stars Genre: Historical Romance Age Category: Young Adult Type of romance: f/f Blurb: A swoon-worthy debut queer Victorian romance in which two debutantes distract themselves from having to seek husbands by setting up their widowed parents, and instead find their perfect match in each other—the lesbian Bridgerton/Parent Trap you never knew you needed! Gwen has a brilliant beyond brilliant idea. It’s 1857, and anxious debutante Beth has just one season to snag a wealthy husband, or she and her mother will be […]

Review: The Siren’s Song by Crista Crown

The Siren’s Song (Havenwood #1) by Crista Crown My Rating: 3 stars Genre: Paranormal Romance Age Category: Adult Type of romance: MM Blurb: Ever since Len realized most people are more in love with the idea of having sex with a siren than who he is as a person, he’s given up on love. Hook ups, friends with benefits—that’s fine. But romance is definitely off the table. It’s too bad he didn’t tell Max that before they slept together—for both of them. Hot, nerdy, human Max who captured Len’s interest with just a glance. Because Max doesn’t do meaningless sex. […]

Review: MateHub Legend by Marie Reynard

MateHub: Legend (MateHub #1) Marie Reynard My Rating: 4 stars Genre: Paranormal Romance Age Category: Adult Type of romance: MM Blurb: The contract was simple: three months, seven scenes, zero feelings. Following it was not. Richard Knotz is a legend in the world of supernatural adult entertainment, and he knows it. While most paranormal adult actors shy away from the temporary bonds needed to perform knotting scenes, he’s made them his brand. Bonding a human could never threaten to tear his empire to the ground, no matter how tempting that human smells. Hunter Savage thinks Richard Knotz is a smug […]
