"Winter's Orbit" is a #SciFi #Mystery #MMRomance by Everina Maxwell.
Prince Kiem enjoys the life of a royal, even if some of his more outrageous behavior doesn't please the emperor. When the ruler summons the Prince this time, it's not for another dressing down. It's to tell Kiem that he will be marrying Count Jainan, the recently widowed husband of Kiem's cousin Taam. The marriage is necessary to maintain the fragile alliance between the empire and the vassal planet Thea. Jainan has been raised to do his duty, and that means being a good husband to whichever partner the empire chooses for him, however difficult that may be. Neither of the men knows just how dangerous their new alliance will prove to be.

Now on the blog: A review of the #Paranormal #Fantasy “Song of Oestend” by Marie Sexton. #MMRomance #GayBookReviews
Aren’s professor helped get him a job as a bookkeeper for a ranch in Oestend. It seemed like a favor at the time, but maybe it wasn’t. Oestend is about as far from the university in the capital as you can get. And, it turns out wraiths are real. If you go out at night, or even leave a window open, they will get to you and kill you. Deacon is the ranch foreman, and he keeps it running with an iron fist, if necessary. Although sometimes put off by Deacon’s harsh treatment of the men, Aren is still drawn to the dark and powerful man. The two become friends, and Aren is saddened to learn that he’s Deacon’s only friend, since he’s the only one on the ranch who isn’t a hired hand or one of the owner’s family. Aren is the only one Deacon doesn’t have to be strong around.

Fairy tale romances can be fun. “The Prince’s Consort” has a handsome prince, a wicked father and his son, who proves to be more than he seems. #MMRomance
Amory has never been able to please his father. When his older brother catches Amory kissing his best friend Tristan, things can only get worse, but Amory is surprised when his father informs him he will be coming with him to the palace the next day. Surprise turns to shock when Amory’s father makes a startling proposal to the prince. Crown Prince Philip is almost as shocked as Amory at his father’s despicable suggestion. Still, he feels strongly attracted to the young man, and wants to protect him from his father’s avarice. Philip offers Amory a room in the palace and the two quickly become friends, and then lovers. As Crown Prince, Philip has responsibilities, and some of those Amory can’t help with, or can he?

Obligatory self-promotion for my latest book, “Good Dawg.”
It took too long for Kevin to figure out he needed to be with a man who knew how to take control. He's not the young twink he sees submissives depicted as in the kinky stories he reads. Even if they were mostly fantasy, those books gave him a glimpse of what life could be like with the right dominant but also seemed to put it further out of reach.
Being a clinical psychologist in a big hospital keeps Theo busy. He's definitely drawn to men who are able to submit and give him complete control over their pleasure. Theo loves exploring the world of dominance and submission, but he doesn't see a full-time submissive in his future. He doesn't have the time to look after someone who needs that much attention.
When Theo's dog uses her wiles to introduce Kevin and Theo, the sparks certainly fly. Can two men who feel they're better off single really build a life together? #BDSM #MMRomance

The Archangel #SciFi #MMRomance series by C.J. Dragon follows the adventures of Raphael, a child of the Mars colony, the main outpost for humanity since Earth is no longer habitable. He is also a powerful empath, so while he loves his extended family, he sometimes needs time alone to keep their thoughts from overwhelming him. That's easily accomplished by taking his small scout ship Agatha out to look for minerals in the asteroid belt. It's on one of these trips that he encounters a Chi'NoSa ship that accidentally damages Agatha. Lord Commander Teo of the ship orders Agatha and Raphael to be brought aboard. Teo has never met a human, is fascinated by Raphael, and wants to keep him around. Thus begins a series of adventures as the two men become lovers and attempt to bridge a vast cultural gulf between their two races.

“Dublin Bay” by John Patrick is a complex #MMRomance.
James is a seventeen-year-old working-class Irish man just out of school and looking for his first job. He’s picking mussels from Dublin Bay one day to feed his family when he spots another young man his age on the dock. James is mesmerized by the blond youth, Otto, who also seems attracted to James. Otto is German, and he and his father are on the dock seeing off Otto’s mother. It’s 1939, and what will become World War II is just starting in earnest. Otto makes his father buy the mussels from James, and before he knows it, James and his sister Bella are employed by Otto’s father to take care of their home. Otto and James soon become more than friends and are committed to finding a way to be together. As if their relationship weren’t dangerous enough, the two young men do what they can to help refugees from Nazi Germany. It’s a course of action that could get the two killed.

"Davo" is a quirky #mmRomance between a big-city academic and a mechanic who likes to wear skirts set in the rough-and-tumble world of a #contemporary Australian mining camp by N.R. Walker
When academic researcher Fergus lands in a remote mining camp in the far reaches of Western Australia, he's expecting a change of scenery, but he's totally unprepared for the extreme conditions of the desert, as well as the quirky collection of permanent residents that call the town home. The biggest surprise of all is Davo. The muscular mechanical supervisor has a sunny disposition with a totally disarming smile, and likes to wear skirts. And, nobody bats an eye. Fergus is instantly attracted to the man, and the feeling is mutual. The two quickly form an intimate relationship, but both know there's a time limit on it, since Fergus is only there for a few weeks to interview people before flying back to Sydney.

Today’s review: “Farfall” by J.C. Owens. #fantasy #MMRomance #GayBookReviews
Andon is unique among the corps of elite griffin riders. He wasn’t born to a noble house. Andon grew up on the streets and then spent most of his youth in the mountains, where he met and bonded with a wild griffin. Griffins and their riders mate for life, so when the pair are discovered, they’re both sent to the training academy and then posted to the frontier fort of Farfall. Neither are really accepted by the troops, who see Andon as beneath them and are suspicious of a wild-born griffin. Andon’s only friend is killed when he and his entire wing are attached by the viscous wiverns. Daren and his four wing members are sent from a neighboring fort to reinforce Farfall. Daren quickly becomes fascinated by Andon, and when he witnesses the bad treatment the weapons officer is subject to, he becomes protective.

Somewhat bored with his current stable of pleasure slaves, Gaius finds his challenge in the form of Allerix, a Dacian prisoner put up for auction. Gaius decides to make Allerix his new boy toy, but taming the young man may be more of a challenge than Gaius bargained for.

General of the Roman army and nephew of the emperor Marius is gifted a pleasure slave by a twisted noble seeking favor. Although not into men, Marius has no choice but to accept the malnourished Celt, Kyle. As the two get to know each other, different feelings emerge, and the growing bond between them puts both men in danger. Omnia Vincit Amor by Maxime Jaz is an ambitious epic love story in three parts that doesn’t follow a typical #MMromance plot.
Kyle was captured at a young age in Britannia after the rest of his family were killed, and quickly “broken in” as a sex slave, trained to give pleasure to whoever he was given to. He has spent many years chained to a bed in the noble’s house, only released to “entertain” at parties. It’s a wretched life, but all he knows. When he is torn away from that and thrown in with a seemingly volatile Roman general, he feels totally lost.

“Release” is a #dystopian #SciFi #MMRomance by Marie Sexton.
Misha grew up in the “trenches” of lower Davlova, where the poorest citizens scratch out a living without technology while the high-born “purebloods” live in electrified luxury behind the walls of the inner city on the hill. Misha gets taken in by one of the clans, criminal gangs that run all sorts of operations in the city. Over the years, Misha learned the fine art of pickpocketing. Sometimes he also turns tricks to see if a potential mark had a lot of money, and where he kept it.
One day, the clan leader offers Misha a new opportunity. One of the most powerful men in the city is looking for a new toy boy and wants someone “exotic.” The clan leader isn’t just asking Misha to prostitute himself. She wants him to gain the man’s confidence and learn his secrets. The information may provide the catalyst that starts a revolution.

Two young men are thrown together on a space voyage full of mysteries in “The Darkness Outside Us” by Eliot Schrefer.
#SciFi #MMRomanceAmbrose wakes up on board his ship, and is told by the craft’s AI that he was injured during the launch and has been in a coma.

Today’s review: “Reckless Endangerment” by Crystal D. Budy. #kinky #MMRomance #GayBookReviews
Kip is taking a heavy load of classes during the summer session, trying to make up for several failed exams the previous term, when he almost fell into the clutches of a human trafficking ring. It’s hard, since the young man lacks discipline. His biggest wish is to find a Dom that will keep him in line, but his track record with men is pretty dismal. Kip is quite surprised when one of his professors has been replaced by a man he knows as police detective Baxter Griffin, using a different name. Griffin is working undercover, trying to gather evidence on another professor that may be dealing drugs. When that teacher is murdered in front of Kip, it puts the young man in danger, so Griffin is determined to keep him safe. The problem is, Griffin turns out to be just the kind of dominant Kip needs.

Next up this week is a review of the #SciFi story “Dark Space” by Lisa Henry. #MMRomance #GayBookReviews
Brady was conscripted at sixteen into the space force defending Earth from the Faceless, a highly advanced alien race. He left his father and little sister behind. Three years into his ten year term, Brady wants nothing more than to go home. Life on one of the military space stations defending the solar system is not nearly as exciting as the recruiting posters made out. Then again, the young man featured in most of the posters, Cameron, was taken prisoner by the Faceless five years ago, the only human taken prisoner rather than killed outright. Speculation over Cameron’s fate is one of the main topics of conversation among the recruits. When Cameron is suddenly sent back to the station, the story isn’t like anything the men imagined, and as a trainee medic, Brady is thrown right in the middle of it.

Today’s review is a book that isn’t your typical #MMRomance: “The Vow of Silence” by Elion Marr. #GayBookReviews
Aeren is finally ready to enter service in the Silent Court, a group of eunuchs that serves the royal family. They are trained and selected for their ability to be useful without being seen. Aeren is assigned to serve the crown prince, Irenus. Aeren performs his duties, perhaps a little too well. Irenus notices him. The court notices Irenus’ regard for Aeren and sees it as a threat. The Faith is the true power behind the throne and will not allow even the possibility that someone else is close enough to exert any influence over events.

Time for a spicy #SaturdayShort: “Bottoms Up for the Wide Receiver” by Beau Ranger. #Erotica #MMRomance #GayBookReviews
Mikey is a talented college football player, but lately he’s been dropping the ball, literally. After losing another game thanks to Mikey’s errors, the coach threatens to kick Mikey off the team, thus terminating his scholarship. When he gets to the locker room, three of his teammates are still there and they’re also very angry. In a desperate move to placate them, straight Mikey offers to orally service the three. He doesn’t expect his straight teammates to agree, but they do.

My latest review: “Tawny” by Chris Quinton. #Fantasy #MMRomance #GayBookReviews
Hal is a wanderer. He never spends too much time in any one place, but he’s been in the Lynn Valley for a while now. He works at the Black Dog pub which rents him a cheap room in the old carriage house. Hal has also made friends with lots of people, as well as the ginger cat that hangs around the pub and seems to have taken a liking to him. It’s tempting to stay, even more so when a handsome red-headed stranger checks into the pub for a few days. Gryff still carries an unhealed wound from a centuries-ago battle in an attempted coup that he was on the wrong side of. One of his comrades from that ancient war, Morgan, is trying to draw Gryff back into the fight to free their imprisoned leader. Will Gryff choose to honor his pledge to his old leader, or will the desire for Hal prove stronger?

Two young men are thrown together on a space voyage full of mysteries in “The Darkness Outside Us” by Eliot Schrefer.
#SciFi #MMRomanceAmbrose wakes up on board his ship, and is told by the craft’s AI that he was injured during the launch and has been in a coma. He remembers all his training for this special mission to rescue his sister, who was sent to see if Saturn’s moon Titan could be colonized, but he doesn’t remember getting on board the ship or the accident that apparently injured him. There’s something else that’s concerning: Ambrose’s ship has been joined to another craft, that of his country’s primary competitor, and that ship is occupied by another spacefarer, Kodiak. The two young men must work together to unravel the mysteries and contradictions that seem to cloud their real mission.
