Sweet Filthy Boy (Wild Seasons Book 1) by Christina Lauren

We’re married for the summer. Summer marriages don’t get dragged down in heavy stuff. ― Christina Lauren, Sweet Filthy Boy “Which was your favorite? Living room, or bed, or floor, or bed, or wall, or mirror, or bar, or floor?” “Shhh,” I whisper, lifting my cup to take another, more careful sip of coffee.

Mastery: Sex Wizards Book 2 by Alethea Faust

by 2 Comments

This book has no right to be as good as it is. If Sex Wizards: Initiation introduced all of the rules of magic and forced Dominai to accept his power, Mastery shows his progression as he decides to improve his skills and learn how to slow down and let things come on their own. At the end of book 1, Olbric, Dominai’s closest friend and lover, was captured and tortured by two rogue wizards. Olbric and the other members of the crux were rescued, but […]

Matti was so likeable. You could cut him in half like fresh bread and he’d be warm all the way through.

Swordcrossed by Freya Marske

“Matti,” said Luca, breathless, “if there’s a man alive who would not be responding like this, who would not be going insane looking at you, with you doing that, then he’s either tragically committed to women or so lacking in taste that there’s no helping him at all. ― Freya Marske, Swordcrossed Luca balanced the words in his mouth, enjoying the anticipation. He looked Matti in the eye and said, with the pure heat of honesty: “I’m fairly certain I want you to wreck me. […]

This novella is the sequel to A Taste of Gold and Iron, and takes place immediately following the events of the first book. It is told from Tadek’s perspective and switches between his present role as friend, confidant, and personal armsman to Kadou, and his backstory of growing up in the slums of Arrast. The immediate threat of the attempted coup has passed, and Tadek accompanies Kadou and Evemer to a royal estate far from the capitol. Away from prying eyes, Kadou and Evemer can […]
