This is another wonderful instalment in the Maine Men series. This time Dylan gets his story told. He has been questioning his sexuality for a while and circumstances have him crossing paths with Mark who is rather well known in the world of adult entertainment.

So begins a wonderful story of self discovery, not just for Dylan but for Mark as well. It’s a real joy watching Dylan grow in confidence in the non judgemental and supportive environment that Mark provides. Not to mention the chemistry between them that sizzles along leading to a lot of heated steamy times!

My heart did hurt a bit due to the treatment Mark received from his family and also how Dylan’s parents were quite toxic towards their son. But my heart was also very happy when they got their HEA. I found this to be an easy and enjoyable read with a great cast of characters to hold my interest and I look forward to Shaun getting his story told next.

Dustin is a dragon who falls immediately in love with his college professor. A pining unrequited love that goes on for 2 years. Rob is aware of Dustin’s crush but is not prepared to cross the student/professor boundary.

After connecting at a function, Dustin and Rob set some boundaries - well Rob sets them, Dustin dislikes them - for their relationship. So begins a beautiful journey as they truly get to know each other and fall in love. It’s wonderful watching as Dustin grows into the responsible dragon he’s also wanted to be and realising his worth.

The road to their HEA includes meddling family members, Dustin being adorable, flirty, and a smidge dramatic and not to forget the hilarious and lengthy text messages the dragons send to Rob whilst he’s at work.

This is a well crafted, fun and engaging low angst read with a great cast of main and secondary characters, some steamy moments and some tender moments all wrapped up in a feel good HEA. I love the story telling ability of this author and cannot wait for more in the Here Be Dragons series.

Giovanni is a young and fun, flirty vampire who loves his job on the Beloved Gem. Just as he is about to leave for a week long holiday he is kidnapped. Lucius is much older and holds a very responsible position as the second for the created vampire. He learns that Giovanni is his fated mate so it’s all hands on deck to locate him.

Once Giovanni is safely returned the fated mates are finally together and the chemistry between them is red hot, as are the steamy scenes! With only a couple of minor issues regarding finding a balance between what they both need this fated pair get to relish their new life together.

This is an another enjoyable easy read in the Beloved Gem series with minimal angst, a great cast of characters and also some feels.
Be warned that the “unknown presence” in the woods sub plot is not resolved in this book so that element is a bit of a cliffhanger.
