Pet Me (The Toye Shoppe #1) by Angelique Jurd

4-stars

Pet Me was a book that I was instantly intrigued by, after reading the synopsis I knew I wanted to give it a go and I’m so glad I did. This isn’t my normal go to read but I’m happy that I stepped out of my comfort zone.

This story was well written with beautifully dynamic characters and great world building. I loved all of the detail as it made it easy to picture everything playing out in my mind and truly feeling all of the anxious emotions through the pages. This was truly a great experience to read from beginning until end!

I look forward to reading more from this author and would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next M/M read!

Bad Man on Campus (Big Men on Campus Book 3) by Stephanie Queen
4 Stars

This is more of a second chance to redemption story. Three years ago a tragedy occurred which separated Glory Rose and Kace. He went off to university and Glory got stuck in their hometown. His dad’s second marriage brought him back to town. Gaining courage, she meets with him and , to her utter delight, he’s happy to see her. She lets him know that she’ll be attending his university and he’s pleased that they’ll be together. Life isn’t exactly what they expected and university is fraught with difficulties. Life isn’t easy with one thing happening after another. Are they meant to be together or are the hurdles too high to overcome?

The story was interesting and well written. The characters were real and relatable. I was frustrated with Glory Rose. After everything that had happened, she was still making stupid decisions. I was so happy when she finally started to see the light. I enjoyed the story even if there was a little too much drama.

Sex on Fire: A Quickie Read by Ashley Bostock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story only comes up short in length. I wish there was more. My heart was in it the whole time. Poppy is your average nerdy girl who lives next to Turner, the sexy next door neighbor. In the short time it took me to read this book, I couldn’t put it down. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants a quick taste of attraction, lust, and nerdy romance. This would be a book I’d keep on my shelf for whenever I need a quick pick me up.

5 stars!

Obsessed! I am really into MM romance right now and this book definitely filled my needs for a sweet romance. Bailey is so cute, anyone would be lucky to have him, and Sam is the sweetest for being as patient as he is with him. He is just so romantic and swoon worthy. Even though there is an age gap, both of them feel like the other would have someone better than themselves or will find someone better. All of their interactions are sweet, sexy and I can’t get enough. Following along with the other guys Sam employs at the Pleasure Palace as well as some stragglers that always seem to hang around is a fun ride. I really hope to see more books in this series, I would love to see how Sam and Bailey are doing now and of course how Ry and Cade are making out, or Dominic and Zander. I look forward to more from this author!

Dark Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dark Bastard is a Dark Sparrow Novel by India Kells. India is one of those authors that is a must grab her book as soon as it appears. It is a fantastic series and Dark Bastard is another wonderful book in this series. You have to read the books in order, so you get the full background and understanding of just who these alpha men are. Trust me you will fall in love with them. India’s stories are compelling and enthralling due to her carefully woven threads that are full of fear, frustration, and angst which is palpable. Dark Bastard is another action packed read with you on the edge of the seat whilst we journey along with the men that India puts through their paces and we right along with them.

Bittersweep by Wareeze Woodson is a well written book that keeps you interested from the first page through to the last. This is a pretty new author to me still and yet already I am starting to get a feel for how she likes to write. Her books are descriptive and developed well while the characters all have a depth to them. I loved the characters in this book. They got so well with the story and just seemed to bring it to life. I liked how it felt like this book was focused on the story and what was happening, so you could really get invested.
This is an author I am pleased to have discovered and I am looking forward to reading more of her work.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. Its a really quick read but full of spice and passion. Even though it a short story you get a complete story so nothing is missing. The author does an amazing job with her character. It’s a relatable situation of the hot guy who ever woman wants and the geeky girl who thinks no one would want her.

The feelings from Poppy are so raw. You can really feel her fear and anxiety about her feelings for Turner and how she is going to progress with them in this state of constant anxiety.
Turner is totally in love and wants to do everything in his power to prove to Poppy she is everything he wants. All she has to do is trust and let him. However that isn’t as easy as it sounds.

Pet Me is the first book in The Toye Shoppe series by Angelique Jurd. This is my first read from Ms. Jurd, so I really didn’t know what to expect going in. I have found that most of my reads lately have been a bit on the intense and dark side- so, seeing this pop up on my recommended book list, I thought it looked like it might lighten things up and be a fun read- so I snapped up a copy and dove in.
This is a sweet, contemporary MM romance, with an age gap, kink, pony play, toys (of the adult kind), and beautifully quirky characters.
If you love sweet stories, MM romance, and a bit of kink- then this is definitely the book for you!

Thank you, Angelique Jurd!

Snowflakes and Holly by Jae Dawson – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

July 18, 2021/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

This book was a fun read. I enjoyed Holly’s humor and the banter between the characters. How they met wasn’t exactly the smoothest of introductions, but it put them in one another’s path. After learning their backstories you can’t help but feel for them. They both have had tragedies happen in their past that they are trying to put behind them, but that’s a lot easier said than done. I felt like this was a great fit in the series, a bit different than the first two books, but still great. I don’t usually like the dual POV as it seems unnecessary, but the author made it flow seamlessly. I can’t wait to dig into book four.

This is the first book that I have read from this author and she blew my mind. I have not read a male and male book in a long time but this story exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of The Toye Shoppe series. Once I started reading this book I could not put it down. It only took me a few hours to devour this addictive book.

Bailey Roberts is very shy when it comes to what he likes in men. He sees a new way to play online and he needs to try it. Bailey goes into a toy shop to buy what he needs but he sees someone instead. He is attracted to the store owner Sam. Bailey thinks he is so out of Sam’s league because he is all new to this type of world. He is shocked when Sam starts to show interest in him. Will they be able to see past the age difference or will it be too much?

Sex On Fire by Ashley Bostock was a very quick read. I honestly expected it to be a little more steamy, but for how short it was I was very impressed with the story. Less is more indeed. It was very quick and to the point, and interesting. It was also interesting to have a female lead interested and in the business of video games as that is usually a male dominated area. So I really enjoyed that small aspect. If you’re looking for a quick happy ever after story this is the book for you. I can’t want to read the next installment in this series.

Caim by T.S. Simons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caim (Antipodes Book 4) by T.S. Simons is a romance dystopia. What else can you be looking for?

The question is what wouldn’t you risk for love. Traditions should not always be forgotten. Returning to their Gaelic origins, the community places their safety in the Caim’s protective circle. Freyja and Cam are blissfully delighted as it envelops them. They finally feel comfortable and satisfied in their isolated village on Lewis, where they live with their family and friends. However, when old friends come with devastating news, they leave them alone. When old acquaintances come with frightening news, they risk everything to uncover the truth about why they were chosen and what evil schemes the scientific community has devised just for them.

I loved this story and the concept of it as well. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is the fourth book in the series and the stories keep on getting better

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Snowflakes and Holly by Jae Dawson is a wonderful story. Holly has deep rooted trauma stemming from her father’s untimely death when he was caught in an avalanche. Blake is a former Olympian who lost one of his legs due to cancer. They meet on the ski slope when Blake crashes into Holly in an attempt to save a child who veered into his path when he was snowboarding. Their first meeting wasn’t the best and wouldn’t you know, they very quickly find out they will be working together. These two had a somewhat bumpy start but find ways to crack each other’s walls. I loved this book as much as the other books in the Hartwood Falls series.

Awakening the Gods by Kristin Gleeson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow this novel is by far one of the best books I have ever read, and I feel like I have a consistent history of finding, picking and reading novels that turn out to be just fantastic reads. I sat down and finished this book in one session and let me tell you I could not put this book down! I have had a long standing interest in the myths and legends of Celtic, Gaelic and Irish origin. My maiden name is McCarty and my ancestors immigrated from Galway, Ireland leaving the surname McCarthy in Galway and switching to McCarty upon arrival to the United States. I got such a kick out of reading this book that was inspired by legends and myths of gods and goddesses that have always interested me, set in the parts of Ireland my family originated from. Then to top it all off Kristin wove this beautiful tale that just kept me intrigued and in love with the characters she created. Saorise is an amazing protagonist and I loved learning about this urban world seeped in myths and legends through her eyes and mind. I am eagerly looking forward to November to read the next book in this series because I can’t wait to see how this story and the characters continue to develop and unfold. In the meantime you will definitely catch me rereading this book! Awakening the Gods (Rise of the Celtic Gods #1) isn’t a book you can only read once for satisfaction, it necessitates the re-reading of it in order to surround oneself with the magic for a little while longer.

Pet Me: The Toye Shoppe 1 by Angelique Jurd is a sweet MM romance story. Unfortunately, there are a few problems that often stopped the easy flow of the narrative. But having said this it was still a fun and cute read. Our MC is a vulnerable and shy young man who is learning to explore who he is and what he likes. His vulnerability makes him so endearing to any reader because I am sure we all want to mother him. There is angst and anxiety and motions that tug at your heart.

I enjoyed this MM romance story. This is a newer author for me and I look forward to seeing what is next for her in the future. This is a well written story about two guys who are looking for something and they didn’t expect to find it in each other. Bailey and Sam made such great characters and their age difference just goes to show that age doesn’t matter and you never know what fate might have in store for you. They are connectable and made the story come to life. This is an engaging, fast paced story that kept me turning pages to the end. I was pulled into the story from the beginning and it was entertaining to read. I really enjoyed this book and I would highly recommend it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Age gap, MM, Pony Play romance, 4.5 rounded up

This book was my first experience with Pony Play and it did not disappoint. I really enjoyed reading about Bailey, an awkward and shy 25 year old who doesn’t have much in life, but has a desire to be a unicorn. I enjoyed reading about him coming into himself and learning who he is as a person, and in his relationship with Sam. Sam is an older gentleman, new store owner of the previously titled Pleasure Palace, and has taken notice of the awkward, clumsy, and shy Bailey, coming into the sex shop. I enjoyed that their relationship grew organically and wasn’t rushed. I liked that Sam was open minded in his “old age,” willing to research Pony Play for Bailey and to try something new.

I also really liked the supporting cast and their banter and wittiness. Even though not everyone was on board with Sam and Bailey’s relationship I enjoyed the extra tension that brought to the story.

This book seems to set up future stories with the others as the primary focus and I can’t wait to read them.

Despite this book being on the shorter side it didn’t leave me feeling like I missed something.

Note, I especially loved the “Road to el Dorado” reference :-p

Picked this book up on Kindle Unlimited and didn’t realize it was part of a series. There are a few parts that I was a little lost on, like why was there an issue between Alex and Will. Why are people calling Will to collect on his sister’s debts.
There are a few unanswered questions. However, I am enjoying the chemistry between Jessica and Will. They are trying to fight their feelings for each other yet seem to be losing the battle.
Jessica is really awesome with Will’s neice and nephew and includes them in everything. Love this story and I am truly going to have to go back and read the other books in the series to tie up the loose ends I have.

Pet Me is the first book in the The Toye Shoppe series. It doesn’t end in a cliffhanger but you can tell there are some lead ins to future books in the series… And I can’t wait!

I loved Bailey so much. He’s so relatable to me with his shy, personality and his clumsiness. Super sweet vibe to the story, which is not something I usually go for but it totally works with these characters. Even though the two main characters were fairly quick to fall in love, it didn’t feel forced or like there was insta-love with no foundation building.

I look forward to reading more in the series to discover how things play out between the other shop owners/employees and “the brats.”

A Cold Day in Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Cold Day in Hell is the fifth book in the series Life Is Hell. Naomi Valkyrie is an author that never disappoints me as a reader. When I see her book, I pick it up because I have to know what is going on with her characters. This book is a part of a series and it would be beneficial to get to know the characters. The story took me on a wild ride. There were some twists and turns where I was blown away because I did not see that coming. The characters are fully developed and full of personality. This book is about Hadassah’s story on probation from heaven for sharing her powers with her brother Malakhi. She is doing her best to stay on “good behavior” because she wants to return to Heaven. Hadassah stays out of her brother’s affairs to return to her paradise sooner. That is until Jezebel comes into the picture. What is going to happen now with Hadassah? Will she keep her good behavior going or is she going to make some sacrifices to prevent her from going to Heaven like she wants to? I highly recommend reading this book to see what Hadassah ends up doing.

Sex on Fire: A Quickie Read by Ashley Bostock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first read by this author, who certainly knew how to use words and how to play upon getting the readers eye and mind with characteristics, the characters looks, down to the undeniable chemistry between Poppy and Turner

I loved Poppy so freaking much. She reminded me of myself, a geek and dress attire was something I would totally do. And having a neighbor as hot as Turner…she certainly had a strong will as far as she made it I must say.

The scenes where they first talked before the BBQ, seriously the chemistry was leaping off the page and I wanted them just to give in so very much. The author knew what she was doing, she wanted us as the readers to wait in anticipation because we all knew it would be worth the wait in the end! And oh heck yes it was!

As the story progressed and the events that made Poppy insecure were also what bought them together knowing they had the real deal in the end. And lets not deny the amazing fun in the bedroom. They were both so likeable characters and both put on show that was steamy and I personally think all of us who read this book were left with our tails wagging.

Loved it. It was a short and hot read with lots of steam and feeling a little bit warm in here moments. I loved this first book in the series. I can not wait truly for the next one in the series. This is a great read to go at and read before bed especially if you have some time to yourself

And it wasn’t just the sexy aspects of the book I loved the two love interests and how well they meshed together. Truly enjoyed this book for everything it was 🙂

Bittersweep by Wareeze Woodson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This exciting historical romance begins and ends in Bittersweep, a small town in 1890’s Texas. Elizabeth returns to Bittersweep as the new school mistress, 15 years after a horrible illness struck the town and sent her family fleeing. As Elizabeth searches for answer to questions from her childhood, she stumbles upon more mysteries than she bargained for.

This contentedly old-fashioned country romance will make you fall in love with the main characters and the surprise plot twist will keep you guessing until the very end. If you have yet to read a novel by Wareeze Woodson, this one is an excellent place to start.

I’ve already grown to love the character Jezebel, as she makes an appearance in the other novels. So when I saw her name, I got excited. The new character that had to grow on me is Hadassah. She’s a low burn for me. She comes out hot but then slowly simmers into your heart.
These two, coming together, made one hell of a story that I couldn’t put down! If you haven’t already dived head first into this series, I would highly recommend!
