I love how the chance meeting in 1982 played through to now. I love the idea that Andy and Carlos might have been meant for each other but they also had to have the timing right. The wrap up was perfect.

End Game by Sean Michael

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



It seems things are shifting around these four guys. Lives are changing and as Knight has healed he is still finding his own place back with his art. Jason is growing and while he doesn't want to give up his new family he wants to know he is pulling his own weight and earning his own way. We get to see all four of them be a bit scared with the changes, we see different relationship develop. Love the wrap up to this story where we seem them all reconnect and be strong than ever.

Carol wants a baby but she starts everything off on the wrong foot. It takes work but when two people really love each other they tend to be able to work things out. I like how this installment in the Corbin's Bend series really show how very important the mentor system makes all the difference.

My rating: 0 of 5 stars



Mark is a caring person who wants to give back by working on the help line. Ricky is a trouble young man who has much to sort through in his life. The years march on with them forming a sort of relationship but not as a couple. In the meantime Mark has the love of his life in Ian that ends much too soon. Ricky also begins to branch out to others and grows in his own ways. Time seems to help them both develop what they need to truly have a chance at their own relationship as better and stronger men as things shift from a caregiver/needy to equals.

Shane and Dimitri have history and now work throws them together. It was fun to see if they can work things out without the past getting in the way. What was sweet that while they worked at building their relationship they helped out others in need and helped them to also settle.

Review: Ana Adored: Mistress of the Castle


Ana Adored: Mistress of the Castle
Ana Adored: Mistress of the Castle by Anastasia Vitsky

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Meranda has always come off as so in control and when she invites Ana it seems that this will firmly continue. But with all that is going on in the background it seems to be upsetting the flow. Most important message that comes through this story is communication and honesty is a two way street. Being in charge doesn't mean having to to do all the giving. Domme's need help and comfort, too.
