The Pirate of Fathoms Deep is book two in the Tales of the High Court series by LGBTQ author Megan Derr. At the conclusion of book one, The High King’s Golden Tongue, High King Sarrica and Prince Allen of Gaulden have overcome their differences, averted a war, gotten married, and throughly annoyed the High Commander of the Harken Empire, Lesto Arseni, along the way. Lesto answers to no one but the High King, and even then politeness is not guaranteed. Most men would think twice […]

Tournament of Losers by Megan Derr
I stumbled on the works of Megan Derr by accident one day while searching for fractured (or twisted) fairytales. Since then she has become one of my favorite authors.

The […]

You can never go home again
This is book four in the Spires series but they are only very loosely connected and can be read in any order. This is my favorite of the series and actually one of my favorite romances ever, I’m not even sure why, but it connects with me on every level and it is just so stinking charming. From the Amazon description: Alfie Bell is . . . fine. He’s got a six-figure salary, a penthouse in Canary Wharf, the car he swore he’d buy when […]

His valet, David Cyprian, is the man who Richard has depended on not only to keep his wardrobe in order, but to handle other less savory duties such as blackmail or burglary when necessary. There has always been a simmering of desire between the two men, but Richard has […]
