#twinsieforthedayjennifer #review #wotr26 #attendingauthor –Little Star by: Miranda Lynn

To save the world, she must claim her power, claim her mates, and face the god who wants her broken.When the shadows of the Underworld creep into the waking world, Nova discovers she’s the last heir of a forgotten divine bloodline—one powerful enough to challenge Hades himself. Her shifting abilities are only the beginning. Her destiny? Much bigger than she ever imagined.

But destiny rarely comes alone.

Lovett and Lee—each dangerous, each magnetic—are drawn to Nova in ways even the gods can’t explain. Together, the three form a bond that burns hotter than celestial fire… and could just as easily destroy them all.

As demons gather, witches whisper, and ancient creatures step from myth into reality, Nova must navigate a world where passion is a weapon and trust is a gamble.

#twinsieforthedayJennifer #review #wotr26 #attendingauthor #mmromance –Strong Coffee (Coffee Beans & Love #1) by: JM Walker

I only wanted a one-night stand. I didn’t expect to fall for him too.
My best friend is in love with me.
Instead of trying to make things work with him, I decide to have a one-night stand with someone else.
I try making it last for only one night, but my stupid heart gets in the way and I end up falling in love with him.
What makes it worse is that he’s my father’s business partner.

#twinsieforthedayjennifer #review #wotr26 #attendingauthor –First Coffee (Coffee Beans & Love #3) by: JM Walker

I had been in love with him for years, but he wanted to keep it fun and simple when there was nothing simple about him.

I put my heart on the line whenever he comes back to town. He owns me, both physically and mentally.
A stranger unexpectedly brings us closer and thanks to her, the three of us bond in ways I never experience before.
With her help, I try and convince him that we are meant to be together.
Even if my heart gets broken in the process.

My first threesome book and I loved it! This series is so good and I’m sad I’m about to read the last one. I love this group!!!!

#twinsieforthedayjennifer #review #wotr26 #attendingauthor –Iced Coffee (Coffee Beans & Love 2) by: JM Walker

I thought I was in love with my best friend. Turned out, I was in love with someone else instead.
My best friend broke my heart.
I try convincing myself that he’s who I’m meant to be with when secretly, I’m thankful he broke things off between us.
There’s someone else but he never notices me staring, hoping, longing for him.
When he finally comes around, after I make the first move, sparks explode but I have to tell myself that it’s just a one-time thing.
Especially when he’s my best friend’s father.

#twinsieforthedaycitlali #review #wotr26 #attendingauthor –The Deceptions by: Aly Beck

My name is Olivia Viotto. And five years ago, I was murdered by my three best friends. Only, they didn’t finish the job. Now, I’m back as an undercover agent, eager to tear their world apart.

Confronting my past was never on my to-do list. Neither was going undercover as a man, returning to my hometown, or unravelling the skeletons in everyone’s closet. But here I am.

Five years ago, I died.

Almost.

How’s that phrase go? What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

So, I got stronger.

From the fiery remains of tragedy, a guardian angel saved me, resuscitating and bringing me into the underbelly of a super secret government agency, where I healed my body and mind. Yet the scars of that night never faded.

For years, I trained and brought down the bad guys. One person at a time.

Now, it’s their turn.

My ex-best friends. Huxley. JJ. Mack.

The three boys I loved with all my heart who betrayed me in the worst possible way.

My mission?

Go deep undercover, posing as a new male student named Oliver. Watch my ex-best friends. Infiltrate their frat to become a member and earn their trust.

Because something fishy is happening at Greenwood University.

Murder. Mayhem. Missing people. The list is endless in a sea of snakes.

Until it all goes impossibly wrong, my identity and life are at risk every step I take, and the bad guys are closing in. I’m forced to lean on the very people I swore vengeance on.

Nothing is ever as it seems. Lies are everywhere.

But I’m here to uncover it all.

**********

***The Deceptions is book one of a possibly four-book series.
***The Deceptions is a full-length, mature, contemporary, new adult romance. Full of love, spice, and betrayal. This book is meant for a mature audience and is recommended for 18+.
****The Deceptions is a whychoose novel, meaning the FMC has more than one love interest and doesn’t have to choose. FMMMMM

Ms. Aly Beck has reeled me in once again! I was intrigued by Espie/Liv/Olivia when she was introduced in TAS, and getting another snippet of her in SS was awesome, but where there is more revealed is DD, and we get more Malic (I am claiming him as my top favorite book boyfriend! “No touchy!”)
Olivia was killed by her 3 friends/lovers 5 years ago, but was rescued and brought into a secret government agency. Now she is undergoing the biggest assignment of her career by going back to where it all happened, and having to investigate her ex-friends/lovers is bringing up a lot of grief and memories.
We get insight into the guys, and is what Olivia witnessed truly what happened? Add in 2 additional men, and we’re getting the start of an interesting relationship build. I’m hoping for a slow-burn, but I know Malic will bring his Maniac-ness and cause mayhem lol
As with all Aly Beck’s works, I’m keeping my investigative notebook by my side to keep track of my theories/ideas/suspicions (My list keeps growing because I keep rereading lol). I don’t trust anyone because even Olivia wasn’t provided with all the necessary information she believes she should have.
For lovers of previous characters popping in, we get Grumpy!

#twinsieforthedayroxanna #review #wotr26 #attendingauthor #mmromance –Villains and Vigilantes by: Onley James

Trick. Treat. Take out the trash.

Welcome to the most unhinged Mulvaney party yet. The costumes are couture, the littles are under lock and key, and the ultimate villain is about to get exactly what she deserves.

What starts as a Halloween gala turns into a house-wide hunt as the Mulvaneys, Jericho’s Boys, and the men of Elite close ranks to end a monster’s reign for good. One brother takes a hit but refuses to stay down. Asa proves why psychopaths deliver the sweetest revenge. Mac and Archer demonstrate exactly what they teach at the Watch. Jericho, Atticus, Lucas, and August bond over a little creative torture. And in the heart of Aiden’s workshop, a righteous invention guarantees permanent justice.

Between traps, taunts, and vigilante vows, this anthology serves dark humor, feral family, and heat—plus bonus stories from the night before the party and an exclusive masked hook-up that lights the fuse for a future Jericho’s Boys couple. Cameos abound, couples get spooky and spicy, and the Mulvaney littles prove the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Perfect for readers who crave found family with teeth, Villains & Vigilantes delivers a cathartic, high-octane coda to a long-running evil—and a reminder that when the Mulvaneys say they’ll keep you safe, they mean it.

Review by Roxanna M.

The Mulvany’s are up to their misfits selves for their annual Halloween bash at the homestead and everyone’s invited. From Jericho s boys, to a few new faces this one is gonna be epic and its about time for this person to pay the ultimate price.

#twinsieforthedayroxanna #review #wotr26 #attendingauthor #mmromance –Killer Crush by: Onley James

Cade Carpenter doesn’t believe in fate—he believes in timing, precision, and clean exits. Killing people is easy. Keeping feelings out of it is even easier. When a dating app ping interrupts his latest job, he doesn’t think twice before answering. One bad date is the perfect cover for a hit.

Tris is a walking diagnosis wrapped in a pretty face and borrowed confidence. He talks too much, laughs too loud, and blurts out every intrusive thought that crosses his mind. He’s used to being “too much” for people—too awkward, too intense, too everything. So, when a gorgeous stranger actually says yes to his ridiculous question about the world’s worst date, Tris can’t help but hope, for once, that he won’t be the punchline.

But what’s supposed to be an ironic night out turns into something out of a true crime documentary when Tris stumbles upon Cade mid-kill. Now, there’s a body, a locked ship in open water, and two men with dangerously bad timing.

It was supposed to be easy. Get in, get out. But now, they’re trapped on a Titanic replica with a dead body and no place to run. Can Cade convince Tris that just because he’s a killer doesn’t mean he’s not the one?

Killer Crush is the first in a series of interconnected dark romance shorts, each featuring a new couple brought together—and blown apart—by the infamous Heartstopper app.

Welcome to a new world of psychopaths and I am here for it. This was such a fun read and for anyone who is a fan of the Mulvany’s and their brand of chaos, killer crush is the beginning of a new world of fun and games

#twinsieforthedayroxanna #review #wotr26 #attendingauthor #mmromance –Murder & Mistletoe by: Onley James

Snow. Santa. And one not-so-silent night.

Welcome to the most chaotic Mulvaney Christmas yet. The roads are iced over, the mansion is packed with littles, and one very overdue baby has decided that now is their time to shine.

When Cricket’s water breaks in the middle of a snowstorm, she skips the ambulance and drives herself straight to the Mulvaney Mansion where her midwife is supposed to meet her. The problem? The storm has other ideas.

As family members fight the weather to make it home, everything spirals beautifully out of control. Mac and Archer are trapped in a Christmas village nightmare. Adam and Noah are up to their usual questionable-but-consensual shenanigans. Arlo and Dimitri are stranded roadside. Atticus and Jericho are stuck in a car. The core four are enjoying some rare alone time. And the littles are warm, fed, and absolutely thriving under Thomas and Aiden’s supervision.

Then the midwife doesn’t show.

What follows is a full-blown holiday free-for-all: Atticus steps in to deliver the baby, the feelings faction dances Cricket through labor, Archer teaches the kids how to gamble using cookies, and the Mulvaney household does what it does best: closes ranks and handles the chaos together.

Murder & Mistletoe delivers snowbound mayhem, feral found family, soft moments, filthy humor, and love in all its unhinged forms. Cameos abound, couples steal moments wherever they can, and the next generation proves they were absolutely raised in this madness on purpose.

Perfect for readers who like their holiday stories loud, loving, and a little unhinged, Murder & Mistletoe is a reminder that when the Mulvaneys say family comes first, they mean it—especially when there’s a baby on the way and a storm at the door.

The family is at it again. I am an absolute sucker for everything to do with this series and this family and their extended family. Onley delivers mayhem and malarkey with the best of them, and we are here for it every time with the twist of Christmas and a chapter 4 every group, including our little favorites of the core four signed me up for every single one

#review #MMromance #comedy #standalone #audiobook 10 Ways to Accidentally Fall in Love by: Emmy Sanders Narrated by: Nick J Russo

Wingman 101: Make him fall head over heels in love.

Brad
What’s a straight guy to do when he accidentally goes on a date with his brand new gym-bro? Offer to be the best wingman ever, of course! It’s foolproof.

Joey needs a man? I’ll find him one.

He wants someone who looks, well, kind of like me? No problem!

Not into watersports? I’ve got him covered.

The issue is, going on all these dates with Joey makes me realize I want more of his time to be spent with me. I like the guy. And his smile. And the way he makes me feel like anything is possible.

Except… I can’t possibly be who Joey needs. He wants his forever person. His great big love.

And no matter how perfect the dude’s abs are or how skilled he is as a cuddle-bro, the two of us will never be more than friends. Because I’m straight.

Right?

10 Ways to Accidentally Fall in Love is a lighthearted romantic comedy with disastrous dates, more innuendo than is probably healthy, an oblivious sweetheart, the gym-dude who falls for him swiftly, and a HEA loaded with firsts. It has characters who originally appeared in Himbo (Elite 8 Studios Book 4) but is set as a standalone.

Goodreads

Brad is so blissfully unaware of his adorableness. Hes straight. Or so he thinks. But hes just so friendly that he may have inadvertently led his bro Joey on and he really didn’t mean to. Like seriously. This man just goes with the flow. He definitely lights up every room. He wouldn’t hurt a fly, let alone his new best friend.

Joey has been friend zoned! He knows he shouldn’t do this to himself but he agrees to stay friends. The more he gets to know Brad the more he wants him. But Brad is straight, right? Right! Moving on. How does he move on when the more he gets to know Brad, the more he wants to be more than just Brad’s gym bro.
Talk about a predicament.

I cannot recall ever laughing so much while reading or listening to a book. Nick did a terrific job. All the sound effects and stuff. He really brought the story to life and played the 2 men well.

Emmy Sanders, author of sweet, steamy, swoony MM romance, would describe herself as a lover of love.

#review #darkMMromance Under Your Skin by: Lee McCormick

You’re the only one who can get under my skin.

 

Levi

Trapped in nightmares from my past, the only comfort I find is in gifts from the man who killed my mother’s killer—presents wrapped in a body bag and delivered to the morgue for me to examine.

From the first time I saw his mark, I knew I had to keep my Killer safe, had to keep his work a secret for me and me alone. Every body is a love letter, and I’m the only one who can read them.

 

Jonah

When I accidentally leave evidence behind during a kill, I have to go to the morgue to rectify my mistake. I didn’t expect to find a young mortician admiring my work.

Relishing in it. Studying it.

Covering it up.

I have no idea why someone would want to hide my crimes, but I’m determined to find out. What I discover is a man named Levi—a man obsessed with the idea of who he thinks I am.

A man who threatens to change my entire world.

~~~

Under Your Skin is a dual POV dark romance set in a world where a corrupt town lets a serial killer walk free, and a young mortician is determined to make sure it stays that way. Expect high heat, intense emotions, and two men who find their own way to define what love really means.

Goodreads

Amazon

Levi believes theres a killer in town leaving him little “gifts” and Levi is collecting all of them. Jonah learns about this when he goes in search of something he seems to have lost during his last kill. He finds a whole lot more than his lost thing that day. Life as Jonah knows it will never be the same.

Oh. My. Word! Jonah is kinda absolutely perfect. I know, I know hes a serial killer but that is just one part of who he is and shouldn’t cancel out all the things that make him perfect. His attentiveness and obvious instant, more than just attraction, to Levi were one of his many perfections. Jonah would question himself in his head about the things he was feeling towards Levi and it cracked me up. I would imagine it would freak out a psychopath if they started having feelings of happiness and dare I say love.

Lee McCormick has been writing since they were very young, and they’ve finally found the courage to offer up some of their favorite ideas to the world. Parent to two amazing kids and three pretty fantastic dogs, they have always been fascinated with dark romance and love that transcends time and reason.

When they aren’t busy working on their novels, you can usually find them browsing queer romance recommendations or playing a video game.
