Happy Pride by R.A. Frick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story really packs an emotional punch. You meet Z who is a sweet man who loves corgis. But you find out he is in a horrible situation. Meeting Christian at corgis get together sets things in motion toward a better life. I love that there is justice in the end.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked the way both men felt an instant attraction . They were also realistic and take things slowly since they aren’t sure their kinks line up. I loved that both were willing to try the other’s idea of fun. Nelson and Guy found the perfect blend for their lives.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a sweet story of finding the one that is the best match for you. Harvey has been keeping to himself and just enjoying letting his inner dragon out. Mitchell is working on his first novel with a dragon theme. They are brought together over some stolen treats. They just click together. I love the way their life just works.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story kept me on the edge of my seat. There is great world building in this fantasy novel. Things move fast and there is lots of threads that seem separate but begin to pull together as you move from the story. I think the grandma is actually my favorite character. I did feel the very dramatic moment of the story seem to be a bit of the rush but it did fit into the overall story. It will be interesting to see how some of the other characters develop in the next books of the series. #CMCon26

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This episode in the Critter Catcher universe focuses on Oliver and Dave to start with. They are checking out a haunted motel and things go horribly wrong. Demi and Cody come to help but that just adds to the problem. As they work together to solve this new problem lots of feelings get examined. Another great mystery. #CMCon26

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have had this book on the shelf for a while and so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was really drawn into the story and you see Devlin dealing or not dealing with his grief. Jack has his own back story. I love the way their lives had intertwined in the past and present. I love the way the story brings us through their journey to understanding both themselves and each other. I really loved the epilogue that shows resolution and healing. #CMCon26

View all my reviews Foxy and Flirty by Kota Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story. is low angst and very cute. Jules seems to be a mess as he just lost his roommate and he has to figure out how to pay for everything. But you get to see he is much more than his mess. Cal is there at the right time. There is a little bump at the beginning but then things seem to move forward.
