REVIEW: Frat Boy and Toppy by Anne Tenino

REVIEW: Frat Boy and Toppy by Anne Tenino

Dear Ms. Tenino. I loved this book. Just loved it. I read it in one sitting, finally going to sleep at 3am on Friday night, damn you. In retrospect, it has flaws, but I didn’t notice them as I was reading. Brad is a football player and in a frat. I really REALLY love the [...]

REVIEW: Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

REVIEW: Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

Dear Ms. McGuire: Angela James loaned this book to me and I went on to purchase my own copy ($1.99 using the Kobodollaroff coupon). This book is often recommended on the goodreads forums and it is highly rated. I totally understand the appeal because it is a very readable book plus I think that there [...]

REVIEW: Muscling Through by J.L. Merrow

REVIEW: Muscling Through by J.L. Merrow

Dear Ms. Merrow. I only read this story because your name was on it. I had a truly horrendous experience once reading a story with a not-smart protagonist (it was a BDSM story and the relationship ended up as true abuse and was awful. I was depressed for days that anyone would consider that “love”), [...]

REVIEW: Prove It by Chris Owen

REVIEW: Prove It by Chris Owen

Dear Ms. Owen. I’ve always liked your writing. I loved your 911 (m/m to m/m/m), until you got too freaking weird on the sequels (a centaur?! Really?!). And I REALLY loved Gemini, which is, yes, a twincest, m/m/m threesome book (twins plus their boyfriend) — my utterly guilty pleasure and the reason I will never denigrate twincest books (at [...]

Review: Circle of Change by Lainey Cairo

Review: Circle of Change by Lainey Cairo

Dear Ms. Cairo. Circle of Change was recommended to me when I reviewed a romance that had a transsexual character. This story has a transsexual protagonist, Kim, a Female to Male (FtM) student (high school, then college). Kim finds love as he enters makes the transition out of high school. I enjoyed following his transformations, [...]

JOINT REVIEW: Life, Over Easy by K.A. Mitchell

JOINT REVIEW: Life, Over Easy by K.A. Mitchell

Dear Ms. Mitchell Joan: We all know how much I adore your books (well, not all of them, perhaps). This one was a departure for you, in that it was a paranormal and much of the plot — and the emotional energy — was focused on the resolution of the ghost story rather than on [...]

REVIEW: Bound and Determined by Jane Davitt and Alexa Snow

REVIEW: Bound and Determined by Jane Davitt and Alexa Snow

Dear Ms. Davitt and Ms. Snow. I love the title of this book, because it’s so true to the characters and to the book. I’ve been disappointed, sometimes even sickened by some of Loose-Id’s titles recently (no, I didn’t review them, I couldn’t bring myself to do so), so I was happy to be intrigued [...]

REVIEW: Str8te Boys by Evangeline Anderson

REVIEW: Str8te Boys by Evangeline Anderson

Evangeline Anderson’s books are my dirty little secret, my secret shame, my love that dare not speak its name. I don’t know WHY her writing makes me feel oh so fulfilled but in such a wonderful dirty way, but it does. They’re so full of *angst* and *melodrama* and *gay for you* and all the [...]
