S.E.X. Review~ Stephen, Boy: ISO by Sean Michael

Bad boy ISO someone to make me behave. Punishments welcome. Strict Daddy Dom necessary. Will consider a pair.
When Champ reads the ad on the internet, the dragon shifter is immediately intrigued and contacts the boy who wrote it. When a quick phone conversation leads to the boy sharing his address, Champ heads over, unhappy that a boy would not only leave his phone number on the internet, but then just give out his address. When he knocks on the door, he’s ready to show this boy exactly what kind of punishments he can meet out.
Stephen would like to be a boy, but he’s been burned, and badly, in the past, so he’s not in the lifestyle anymore. All that changes when he answers the door and meets Champ. It doesn’t matter that Champ was expecting to meet Stephen’s roommate Marc, the big Daddy falls for Stephen immediately and insists that while there was an initial mix-up, Stephen is the one he’s actually there for
Patience, kink, and confidence may not be enough for this Daddy to win his boy over, but add in the magic of love and dragons and it’s a whole other story.

Stephen, Boy: ISO by Sean Michael was everything you expected in the author’s wheelhouse. Lots of sex, sexy characters, and a bit of magic. Happenstance brought Champ to Stephen’s doorstep; little did the dragon shifter know he would meet his fated mate. 

Stephen answered his door to a stranger answering an ad placed by his roommate and met the man of his dreams. Together the men embarked on a relationship journey that sizzled.

If it is one thing that Sean Michael can write, that is steamy, hot, downright dirty sex scenes, and Stephen, Boy: ISO did not disappoint. When Stephen and his sexy dragon came together the fires ignited. Although the relationship started fast the premise of fated mates fit the bill. But, the leisurely pace of the men getting to know each other was well done and gave more meat to the storyline.

The secondary characters, Marc (Stephen’s roommate) and Berny and France (Dragon shifters) added to the storyline and paved the way for the next installment in the series.

A fan of BDSM with a Daddy kink? Then this Sean Michael’s book is for you- especially if you appreciate the author’s writing style.

Darcy, Boyfriend for Hire by RJ Scott and Meredith Russell was short and sweet. The start to a new series introduced readers to Darcy, boyfriend for hire. Paired up with Abby, Darcy fell for her brother Adrien.

The first quarter of the book was slightly confusing, with twists to the storyline with little sense to this reader, as to why was the ‘big deal’ of not having a boyfriend. Once I got past that part, and the interaction between the characters became more apparent, the storyline picked up. The family dynamics was a bit contrive, with characters making mountains out of molehills- but not necessarily adding to the appeal of the story.

I’m a huge fan of Scott and Russell, but Darcy was not my cup of tea.

Excerpt

Another week passed, and Farrah had become an integral part of the household. He was everywhere. Working in the garden, eating with him, accompanying him when he left the house to tour around the estate, working with him with the shipping company, although he was still curiously resistant about that. Charles watched him apply himself to his evening meal with gusto. The man ate like a horse but hadn’t a spare inch on his frame. All the physical work meant that he had arrived in reasonable shape for someone who did nothing but gamble and drink, but now, now he was bursting with good health, humour, and a physique that made Charles want to weep with envy as he thought about his own skeletal frame. There was a warmth to his companionship that made getting up in a morning easier. He realised just how much he was enjoying having him in the house. As they talked, he hoped that he was helping Farrah to see that there were options open to him that didn’t involve him risking his life on the continent. To see that there were a whole host of things that he was good at. Farrah’s comment about the army being all he was good for had stayed with him and it surprised him how annoyed it made him that his family had allowed him to feel that way, and constantly surprised that Farrah seemed to believe it.

Coulson arrived with the tea tray and Charles smiled as he realised Farrah had lost that slightly frantic look he’d had on realising there was no port or brandy on his arrival. When Coulson had retreated, Charles raised his cup in a toast.

“Congratulations on another sterling week Mr Farrah.”

Farrah laughed and raised his cup in response. “Congratulations on putting up with me for another week. You deserve a medal, Captain Hawkins.”

“Nonsense. No medals required.”

Farrah tilted his head on one side and observed him. “You really are the best of men. I know I’m not easy to have around. Too loud, too ... much.” He laughed again.

And there he went again. He really seemed to believe that his company would not be valued. That he would be some sort of burden. Charles was stunned when he realised that in that moment he wanted nothing more than to take him in his arms and tell him in no uncertain terms that having him in the house was no hardship, and not only that, he discovered he wanted to hunt down the people who had told him that he was a burden, or a nuisance, and hurt them. It was a disconcerting.

He had to fight to retain his composure and answer in kind. “Piffle. You’ve brightened the place up no end. Once you’d sobered up, that is.” He kept his tone light, but his heart was thumping.

“Really?”

For a big, handsome, seemingly confident man sometimes there was a hint of such wistfulness about him, and it was there full force in that softly spoken word. It was filled with such fragile hope it hurt something inside Charles.

“Really.” Charles spoke softly and something in Farrah brightened. “Now, stop fishing for compliments and tell me what the plan for tomorrow is.” He had to resume his usual brisk tone because if he didn’t, he would have ... Charles' heart stopped in his chest. Oh God. Oh God.

He wanted to kiss him.

Ruby Moone’s Promises was everything I thought it should be and so much more. Charles returned from the war in the continent, a broken and troubled man~ his men butchered before his eyes, Charles felt survivors guilt. Sebastian sought to join the army to prove himself to his father and brother but first must do a month stint in the countryside with Charles.

Ms. Moone wrote of forbidden love in an intolerant time and transported me into a regency romance. I adored Sebastian. His wit, temperament, and his fierce love for Charlie all added to his appeal. Charlie was loyal, sensitive, and fiercely loved Sebastian.

Ms. Moone makes a reader connect with the characters and story line. The world building is genuine and realistic.

A wonderful book, Promises was a must read.

Last Chance by RJ Scott was an extremely short story of college hockey player Justin and math nerd Luke. One out and proud, the other ready to be out and proud. One shared kiss never left either man and the cusp of college graduation and new careers brought them back together. 

This novella moved quickly from shared kiss, interfering hockey players, to a new apartment and trying out for a professional hockey team. 

I felt as if I missed much of the story, albeit sweet and tender, with an abrupt ending and an HEA. Very little time to connect with the characters, as the story jumped in time. I would love to see this book as a series in order to connect with Justin, Luke and some interesting interfering hockey players.

Sweet story.

Excerpt

David hammered on the door of Charnley’s Grosvenor Street mansion and, finding the door unlocked, let himself in. He strode through the hallway, boot heels ringing on the marble floor, and was met by a flurry of agitated staff.

“Get me Charnley. Now.”

The butler emerged and addressed him in condescending tones, but David brushed him aside. “Where is he? Study?” he stalked across the hallway and headed for the study door with the staff flapping behind him. He threw open the door, but there was no-one inside.

“Charnley!” he bellowed. “Get out here now.”

The flurry of footmen was swiftly replaced by burly, determined looking grooms, so David pulled out a brace of pistols from the back of his breeches and aimed them.

“Hold it right there,” he said, and the men stopped. “I have no quarrel with you, but I will see Charnley. Anyone who tries to stop me will be shot. Those of you who know me know I will do it.” He raised the pistols and waited. No-one moved.

“So, where is he?”

“What in God’s name is going on?” Charnley appeared, leaning over the gallery balcony, then running lightly down the stairs wearing only his shirt sleeves and waistcoat. “Lambert, why are you causing ructions in my home? For God’s sake, man, put the pistols down.”

“First, call off your lap dogs.”

With a flick of a hand, the staff were dismissed, but David held onto the pistols. “Shall we?” he asked, nodding towards the study. He slammed the door shut behind them with his boot.

“Get him out. Whatever you want from me is yours, just get him out.”

Charnley frowned. “What the hell are you talking about?”

David stalked across the room, gun in hand and put the muzzle against Charnley’s chest. “You have until the count of three to tell me you will get him out. If you do not, I will shoot you and get him out myself.”

Charnley staggered back and held up both hands. “What … who are you talking about? Get who out of where?”

“One.”

“Lambert, I do not know what…”

“Two.”

“God… man will you … Oh Christ. Not Naylor?” A look of genuine shock on Charnley’s face surprised David.

“Three. Yes.” He pushed against Charnley’s chest.

“Yes, yes… of course I will help. Just put the fucking gun down.”

David lowered the pistol slowly, and Charnley backed away, one hand going to his throat. Sweat stood out on his brow.

“Get your coat, get down to Newgate, and undo whatever lies you told to put him in there. Now.”

Charnley lifted both hands. He was a little taller than David, and heavier having a few years on him, but he was treating him with a healthy respect. “Now, listen to me.”

“I’m listening. Get your coat.”

“David, I will do everything in my power to get Naylor out, but we have a serious problem here.”

“Which is?”

“He is not there because of anything that I did. I did not order his arrest.”

Treason and espionage, the ton and aristocracy, Ruby Moone’s Thief of Hearts took me back to my love of Regency England and all it entailed. As a prolific reader of Amada Quick, and my first introduction to time period romance, many, many years ago, Thief of Hearts reminded me why I was a huge fan.

Ruby Moone delivered a well-rounded and choreographed story of love and acceptance in a period where the gallows awaited anyone who was different. The writing superbly intertwined storytelling and reality with very likeable characters, both friend and foe.

David and Jeremy were wonderfully portrayed as they waded through forbidden love, treachery, and near death. Their ability to stand united, along with the family of their creation added credence to the tale and gave authenticity. I loved the narrations, dialogues, and creative descriptions, making this reader feel a part of the period and story.

Sensual and sexual, Thief of Hearts is a must read.

Clapham Common—a new pack with their own set of problems…

Shifter Aaron Harper gets drawn into illegal underground fighting to keep an eye on his best friend. The thrill of the fight keeps him coming back for more, but discovery could mean imprisonment and banishment from their pack. Without a beta to watch over them, common sense takes a back seat.

Michael Archer of the Shifter Crimes Task Force is investigating recent murders. Despite the brutal cause of death pointing to the work of a shifter’s claws, instinct tells him a well-known nightclub owner is involved, but they have no proof.

Aaron and Michael’s paths cross after another body with the same injuries is discovered. With Aaron finding himself on the wrong side of the SCTF and Michael looking for a killer, any attraction between them is both ill-advised and unlikely. But fate has other ideas.

Set in the world of the Regent’s Pack series, Annabelle Jacobs delivered a nice addition to the storyline. I would recommend reading the Regent’s Pack books first (even though this is a stand-alone) because you will have a better understanding of the dynamics.

Butterfly Assassin, aka Aaron was mixed up in nefarious actions which led him to be at the mercy of a shifter crime task force detective, his alpha, and the council. The book was faced-paced and well written, although I wanted a little more fleshing out. An explanation and plausible one was given for Aaron’s fight club nickname, but not a lot of details. Additionally, as a previous human, I would have liked to know more as to how he became a shifter and under what circumstances.

The development of Aaron and Michael’s relationship was well done and Ms. Jacobs wrote a slow burn that sizzled on my e-reader. As a new couple, Aaron and Michael were off the chart.
