Not All Himbos Wear Capes by C. Rochelle
This was such a delightful morsel of yummy I don’t know quite where to begin. It’s a quirky, naughty, and way too cute for words. Because even with all the supernaturals fighting (and occasionally murdering), and all the lightweight kink going on, it’s mostly an adorable story of enemies falling in love. In the most unlikely and over-the-top way possible. And I freakin’ love it. Not All Himbos Wear Capes is an enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, villain-nails-a-hero-yes-in-the-fun-way kind of story. And it’s to die for. Synopsis: Xander is a villain. He’s grumpy as all get out and he’s particularly pissed at Captain Masculine, the city’s superhero who keeps disturbing his plans and…

Bad Blood by L.C. Davis (Joel Abernathy)
As soon as I finished Bad Blood, I bought the next two books in the series and devoured them too. So my review might actually reflect my impression of the series and not the first book exclusively. Anyway, I think it says a great deal about how engaging these books are. It’s all yummy intrigue and hot sexytimes (MMM+). Dark secrets and paranormal societies. Vampire diaries meets Days of Our Lives only in a more adult version. Nothing is black and white, and a friend from yesterday may be an enemy tomorrow, or vice versa. Enemies with benefits couldn’t be a truer description. Synopsis: Chase is a snarky and fabulous…

Conspiracy of Dragons (Here Be Dragons #4) by Louisa Masters
Estimated release date: November 9, 2022 Just. Wow. I never would have thought that Steffan – uptight, suspicious, conspiracy theorist Steffan – would become one of my favourite characters in this crazy and wonderful series. But here we are. And I can’t properly express how delighted I am by this story. Here Be Dragons (and Hidden Species) are full of quirky and ridiculous, yet lovable, characters. Steffan, who’s been in the periphery of many of the stories, has always been one of the more extreme eccentrics, and definitely less likable. But, my oh my. This book changed all that. Yes, he’s still awkward as all get out. He can’t relate very well to other…

The Alpha’s Warlock (Mismatched Mates #1) by Eliot Grayson
Fast paced entertainment, reluctant bonding/mating, and altogether juicy. I think that sums up The Alpha’s Warlock pretty well. Synopsis: Nate‘s a warlock in trouble. He’s managed to get himself kidnapped by werewolves and forcibly, halfway bonded to one of their Alphas as a means to steal his magic. Narrowly escaping, he stumbles over to the neighbouring werewolf pack seeking help before the unfinished bond kills him. Big, grumpy Ian, the Armitage pack’s enforcer steps in to save Nate by the only way they know how – by completing the mating. But Nate’s kidnapping is just a part of a larger plot. A plot that threatens not only Nate’s life but the lives…

Violent Desire (Blackrose Brotherhood #1) by Ariana Nash
There are so many elements of this story that I adore. A troubled detective with past trauma. Check. A sexy supernatural who can’t leave said detective alone. Check. Morally grey main characters. Check. Sexual tension and a bad guy with an unhealthy obsession with one of the MCs. Oh yes please and thank you. Synopsis: Eric Sharpe, detective at the NYPD, takes the law into his own hands when his partner’s murderer can’t be brought to justice. And in doing so, he inadvertently puts himself in the middle of a vampire show-down. Zaine is a member of the Blackrose brotherhood, and a vampire. His job is to track and kill…

Vortex Conundrum (Ghostly Guardians #2) by Louisa Masters
Estimated release date: June 22 Cute, fast-paced and there are demons! In other words, Vortex Conundrum, the sequel to Spirited Situation, is pretty darn entertaining. Synopsis: So there’s Kieran – the slightly uptight manager of Mannix estate – and there’s Connor – the demon hunter who’s there to save the day. Kieran doesn’t like Connor, not even a little bit, but he needs him to solve their little problem of having a gateway to another dimension in the hotel. And like he didn’t have enough to deal with already, Connor keeps flirting with him while also being the most annoying person ever. He’s hot though, so if he offers to…

Roman (Vampire’s Mate #1) by Grae Bryan
Expected release date: June 13 To me, this felt like a re-write of Twilight, only with Bella – sorry, I mean Danny – being an adult, and there actually being some nookie. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing. But I didn’t expect it, and most importantly, I hadn’t realized I signed up for super sweet low-angst. So. Danny is an incredibly tender-hearted guy, working as a nurse, supporting his mother who’s suffering from dementia and living in a nursing home. Roman is a very old vampire who’s sort of on the run, and who happens to pass by the town where Danny lives. He feels a pull, is drawn…

The Dragon Experiment (Here Be Dragons #3) by Louisa Masters
Estimated Release Date: April 21st Cute, quirky, and great fun. That’s my short review of The Dragon Experiment. This is the adorable story of Fabian, the historian and record keeper of dragon kind, and Rhys, a sorcerer and scientist – who most definitely isn’t prepared for the easily distracted fabulousness that is Fabian. It’s silly and funny. Just what I expect from Masters. From previous books we learned that Fabian’s two passions are knowledge and sex. And Rhys just so happens to perform research on the effects of sex on community members’ innate abilities. Obviously it’s a match made in heaven. Without Fabian knowing it, he’s been providing Rhys with…

The Spooky Life (The Spectral Files #4) by S.E. Harmon
Expected release date: April 18th I just love these guys so much! Rain and Danny are hands down one of my favourite couples ever, and The Spooky Life did not disappoint. In this installment, the guys are planning their wedding. Danny’s mom goes into some sort of wedding frenzy, and the end result is hilarious. The guys tries to fit in all the wedding planning in between working, but neither of them really have the patience, or interest, in selecting wedding invites or choosing chairs for the ceremony. It’s cute, funny, and soo very Rain and Danny. The scene where they’re on a wedding cake tasting is probably my favourite…

Lord Garrington’s Vessel by S. Rodman
This is one juicy read! It’s the MM equivalent of an old fashioned bodice ripper, and it’s delightfully clichéd and smutty. I loved it! It’s a story set in an alternate reality. It’s 2022, but there’s a secret world of magic embedded in our regular, “mundane”, society. Fen has been raised in boarding schools with no actual contact with his noble family, the Garringtons. He knows nothing of magic and is totally unprepared when his brother Xander snatches him back to the Garrington estate to be auctioned off in an arranged marriage. But Fen is beautiful, and the attraction between him and Xander is intense. When Xander, who is a…
