Today’s book review is of “Talos” by D.G. Carothers. #MMRomance #GayBookReviews

The vampyr Talos has ruled over what was the western United States for over a hundred years, ever since the supernaturals wrested control of the planet from humans before they destroyed it. There is, of course, an organized human resistance to supernatural rule, but Talos’ spies are always at least one step ahead of them. It’s come to light that the resistance plans to assassinate Talos during one of the Roman gladiator style games the king enjoys. Talos is in no danger, but there is still a surprise when it turns out the assassin, Bayne, is actually Talos’ fated mate. The king will need to overcome a lifetime of indoctrination Bayne has been exposed to for them to share a life together.

I have a #Spicy #SaturdayShort review of “Tentacle Thrall” by Ryan DeVry. #MMRomance #GayBookReviews

Content creator Tayler is getting a little bored with his work lately, so he decides to shake things up by sailing around the world solo. Things go well enough for a few days, but then he is caught in a violent storm. Tayler fears for his life when the boat suddenly beached on a small island. The island appears deserted and Tayler has no way to call for help. However, it soon becomes clear that he isn’t completely alone. Some creature also calls the island home, a sort of half man, half tentacled monster. Tayler is equally attracted and repelled by the creature, who seems to have a hypnotic effect on the young man. Does it want to eat him, or use him for something else?

Two young men are thrown together on a space voyage full of mysteries in “The Darkness Outside Us” by Eliot Schrefer.
#SciFi #MMRomance

Ambrose 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.

Just posted a review of “Finding the Way Home” by Sean Michael. #MMRomance #GayBookReviews

Jim lost an arm in an IED attack, so after a long stay in the hospital to recover, he’s leaving the army. At least it will give him more time to spend with his long-term boyfriend, Andy. Unfortunately, Jim arrives home to find that Andy has dumped him and moved on. With nowhere else to go, Jim calls up his dependable old army buddy “Horse” to see if he can stay with him until he figures things out. Jim has always had a bit of a crush on Horse, but he doesn’t know if his friend feels the same way.
