The latest book review is for “The Pillar” by Kim Fielding. #MMRomance #GayBookReviews

Faris is the village herbalist. He dispenses the teas, tinctures and salves he makes to help cure the various ills of everyone in the town. Faris was taught by the previous healer who has since passed away. Among his most distasteful duty is tending to those punished in the town square, where criminals and misbehaving slaves are tied to a stone pillar, lashed mercilessly, and left to die. He hates the memories each trip to the pillar brings up. It’s how Faris met his mentor. Boro is the latest victim Faris rescues. The former slave is near death but strong enough to recover. As he does, he’s revealed to be a kind, handsome man about Faris’ age. The two are attracted to each other, but they live in a world where relations between men are officially frowned on.

“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.

"Hybrid Incubator" is a darkly #erotic #SciFI #MMRomance story by Meraki P. Dark.

Alex has been an avid ecologist since he was a young boy picking up trash in the woods that people carelessly discarded. Unfortunately, even with a doctorate in environmental science, his passion doesn't pay the bills. After another fruitless day of interviewing for jobs he is over-qualified for, Alex feels the need for a drink. Slightly drunk, he agrees to a road trip with another patron who is also a bit down on his luck. As soon as they're on their way, Alex realizes he's been drugged. When he wakes up, he's in a warehouse, naked and restrained, along with several other men. When an octopus-like creature takes Alex to a room to be subjected to a humiliating medical examination, things go from bad to worse.

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

"Dominus" is an epic series by J.P. Kenwood about forbidden #gay love between a Roman general in line to be emperor and an enslaved captured Dacian who isn't what he at first appears, set in the first-century Roman empire.

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.
