    REVIEW: How (Not) To Conjure a Boyfriend by Jordon Greene

      Standing at the foot of my comatose crush’s hospital bed is not how I envisioned becoming Hayden’s partner. First I needed to find out if he’s even into the theys, then hopefully some flirting, a cute date up in the valley or at Taco Bell, a kiss. The normal cutesy stuff, but this? No!…

    REVIEW: Hansel and Gerhardt by WH Lockwood

      Oh look! A house made entirely of sweets! Things finally seem to be looking up for Hansel and Gerhardt… Dropped into a lonely cottage deep in the woods as a boy, Gerhardt would give anything to escape. He hates his life, he hates his abusive step father. He’s sure his irritatingly handsome step brother…

    REVIEW: Worth The Fight (Worth It #2) by C.F. White

      It was never going to be just one night. Not when it burned this hot. Firefighter Reece Morgan is the station flirt. Tattooed, reckless, and always up for a laugh or a hook-up. He’s made a name for himself across Worthbridge, and he’s fine with that. No strings. No drama. No need for more.…

    REVIEW: Zel by Amanda Meuwissen

      An assassin in disguise is not meant to fall for their target… but Rapunzel’s life has never gone as planned. Twenty winters ago, before the Great Famine, Zel’s parents were caught stealing the fabled sorcerer’s rapunzel, the magical lettuce that grows around the base of his tall tower in the wood. He released them…

  • REVIEW: The Question of Us by Jay Hogan

    REVIEW: The Question of Us by Jay Hogan

      The nightmare is over. Or so I keep telling myself. Bruised and battered, we’d narrowly escaped with our lives. I should be grateful. Grateful that my captors are in custody. Grateful that the chilling, roller-coaster of events, actually brought Nick and I closer. Grateful that we’ve finally taken a step toward something more than…

    REVIEW: Little Red Riding Hood by T.J. Rose

      Getting eaten by a wolf wasn’t exactly what Red had in mind when he finally escaped the palace walls. Abandoned as a babe and raised in The Queen’s court, Red has always been an outsider, with his mismatched eyes and sharp tongue keeping most at arm’s length. When he ventures towards the Dark Forest…

    REVIEW: Thirteen Winters by Jay Heron

      Some winters never end. But this one might lead them back to love… Thirteen winters ago, Remi Hendricks and Isaac Williams burned too hot, too fast—and their whirlwind romance in Sweden ended in heartbreak. With an entire ocean between them, it seemed the perfect way to keep the past in the past. But now,…

      A gentle and informative guide for parents of trans youth As a full-time public speaker specializing in spreading awareness and understanding of the transgender community, what Ben Greene hears most from parents and loved ones is the phrase “I’m sorry.” They’re sorry for using the wrong word, sorry for asking an offensive question, sorry…

    REVIEW: Dying Light by Jay Heron

      To say Joe and Trevor are sworn enemies would be the understatement of the year. Their feud began with Daniel—Joe’s brother, Trevor’s partner. When Daniel relapsed, Joe walked away. Trevor stayed. And when Daniel overdosed, the fracture between them only deepened. Years later, they’re forced back together by the last person either of them…

    REVIEW: Worth The Wait by C.F. White

      It was never over. It was just waiting. Nathan Carter didn’t return to Worthbridge looking for a second chance. He came back for a roof over his head, a job that pays, and maybe, if he’s lucky, a way to connect with the teenage son he’s barely known. Life in the army taught him…
