Sole (Christmas Magic) by Ana Raine
“I loved the fact that I ended up as surprised as Finley. If you like traveling theater troupes and their backstage drama, if an angsty guy coming into his own is your thing, and if you’re looking for an entertaining read with a nice twist at the end, then you will probably like this novella.”

Chasing Christmas (Christmas Magic) by Dulce Dennison
“Fun, sweet, and practically drama-free, this story about two shifters finding their mate in each other contains lots of Christmas cheer, family events, and more than one scene of passion in the bedroom. If you like Christmas romances, if watching two guys create a new family is your thing – never mind the age difference, and if you’re looking for a cute Christmas story with lots of traditional activities, then you might like this short novella.”

A Kiss in the Dark by Shelby Morgen
“I loved the characters in this story… Both Jen and Tom felt realistic to me – with normal problems, worries and relatable lives. I found myself very quickly attached to them both and invested in their getting together and rooting for them to build a lasting relationship. As a happy, sexy and quick read this story really did cover almost everything I could want.”

Forging Krampus by Crymsyn Hart
“This dark humor is right up my alley. I love Krampus because he is pansexual with a devious mind. His open and honest loving is refreshing. His partners are all varied and alluring. He is the anti-hero with a heart of gold and a sex drive like the Energizer Bunny. What’s not to like?”

Rory and the Alien Groom (Intergalactic Brides 9) by Jessica Coulter Smith
“I sure did love this story. As usual, it was wonderfully written with engaging characters and an entertaining plot. I enjoyed the hot sex scenes but most of all I truly liked Rory and Zwyk. I love strong heroines who know what they want and go after it. Jessica Coulter Smith has become one of my favorite authors.”

Shaalon (Married to the Aliens 3) by Ashlynn Monroe
“This book was a great short read that filled my afternoon with pleasure just reading it. It was a nice romantic, passionate and exciting story that flowed easily and left me interested in the coming war on planet Xerra. I loved the hope and romance that was at the heart of this story.”

Peck of Pickles by Lena Austin
“If you like your romances hot and spicy, if you enjoy watching three men go at it… and if you’re looking for a read that is amusing, sweet, and very, very hot, then you will probably like this short story.”
http://www.rainbowbookreviews.com/book-reviews/peck-of-pickles-by-lena-austin-at-changeling-press
“I found this to be a really fun short story. I loved the old-school, country town feel of it and found it to be quite realistic. The three men… are smoking hot once they finally get all on the same page and I really loved watching them all come together.”

Unknown Desires by Jax L. Kramer
“New to me author Ms. Kramer pens a sweet kinky erotica. It is a lovely journey for a young man awakening to his sexual desires as well as his submissive tendencies… recommended to m/m readers looking for a Gateway to BDSM book.”

Taming the Cyborg (Terras Five 2) by Anne Kane
“Taming the Cyborg was a fast paced book that had me completely immersed in the plot that flowed smoothly from beginning to end. It was exciting and romantic with characters that I adored… the author had me craving my very own bossy Cyborg to sweep me off of my feet. I really enjoyed this short story and absolutely recommend it to anyone.”

Izumi (Neko) by Ana Raine
“…character driven with an undertone of erotic power exchange. The sexual heat in this story is hawt and kinky, just how I like it. Added to this slightly anime/manga feel, it hits all the buttons I enjoy. Ms. Raine describes this story so beautifully, I can see it in my mind as a Japanese anime.”

Silver Fox (Faster Bobcat) by Julia Talbot
“Short little glimpses of a world and characters, a little sex, a little fun, and done. Julia Talbot is good at writing books like these, and they are enjoyable! If you like a little bit of kink, a little bit of paranormal, and a little bit of fun, give this one a try.”
http://lovebytesreviews.com/2017/09/24/book-review-silver-fox-faster-bobcat-3-by-julia-talbot/
Celeste and the Alien Bartender (Intergalactic Brides 8)
“This was a great Sci-Fi/ Fantasy romance. The way that Jessica Coulter Smith was able to bring the characters to life in my imagination had me hanging on every word until the end. The best part of this short romance was the emotions and amazing characters. I loved Zanar the sexy alien bartender.”
http://www.longandshortreviews.com/book-reviews/celeste-and-the-alien-bartender-by-jessica-coulter-smith/
A Wolf’s Hunt by Echo Ishii
“If you like your romantic heroes to be combative, yet passionate, if you enjoy imaginative stories of the fantastical kind, and if you’re looking for an entertaining “battle of the wills’” with an ending that is as passionate as it is happy, then you will probably like this short novella.”
http://www.rainbowbookreviews.com/book-reviews/a-wolfs-hunt-by-echo-ishii-at-changeling-press
Grizzly Affair (Bureau of Paranormal Affairs 1) by Dulce Dennison
“…I certainly enjoyed the pairing of these three very diverse personalities. I would be interested in reading the next installment in the series. I’ll be curious to see if the author stays with this triad or brings in new main characters. All in all, an entertaining, very hot, quick read.”
http://www.rainbowbookreviews.com/book-reviews/grizzly-affair-bureau-of-paranormal-affairs-1-by-dulce-dennison-at-changeling-press
“…I really felt the connection between the three men, even in this short time the author had to devote to things. I never really questioned the connection and when all of them ended up in love, it was believable and satisfying. I really hope to see more of these men in future books. I highly recommend it for a short HOT tale.”

Calling the Clutch (Dragon Mesa 1) by Julia Talbot
“If you like fantastical stories with a somewhat vague threat on the horizon, some ominous prophesies, and sudden visions, if you want to watch two strangers and their dragons bond faster than you can say “romance”, and if you’re looking for a read that is set in the same world as the ‘Desert Dragon’ series, then you will probably like this very fun and entertaining short novella.”
http://www.rainbowbookreviews.com/book-reviews/calling-the-clutch-dragon-mesa-1-by-julia-talbot-at-changeling-press
Three Uncaged (Shifter Rescue) by Sean Michael
“All three shifters need time to learn to trust the people taking care of them. Getting rid of their fear is not an easy process, and having faith that the future is better than the past takes quite a while. If you like stories where the abused learn to trust again, if you think that sticking together is safer than going it alone, and if you’re looking for a read full of sweet three-way discoveries and lots of loving, then you will probably like this novella.”
http://www.rainbowbookreviews.com/book-reviews/three-uncaged-shifter-rescue-7-by-sean-michael-at-changeling-press
“I found the sex to be deliciously hot and caring, it’s clear the three shifters are healing emotional wounds and building themselves up as well as sharing the physical intimacy between them. This came across to me as a gentle, loving and soft style of romance.”
http://www.longandshortreviews.com/book-reviews/three-uncaged-by-sean-michael/
And One Makes Four (Shifter Rescue) by Sean Michael
“If you like shifters new to the human world trying to find their place, if you believe that a triad can turn into a quartet, and if you’re looking for a read full of discoveries, physical pleasures as four men learn what they like in bed, and a determination to stick together from now on, then you will probably like this short novella.”

By Design (Southern Cats 1) by BA Tortuga
“I loved how Casey and Travis knew exactly what they wanted – Robin – and just went for it with him. Fun and sexy, this was a great read and one I thoroughly enjoyed. I will be totally keeping an eye out for any further stories in this series.”
http://www.longandshortreviews.com/book-reviews/by-design-by-ba-tortuga/
Cyclops (Watchdogs 1) by Gale Stanley
“If you like stories about assassins learning the error of their ways, if you want to see a man who thinks he does not deserve a normal life find out he can still have it all, and if you’re looking for an intense read full of suspense and discoveries, then you might like this short novella.”

Master of Seduction (Merlin’s Legacy 1) by Angela Knight
“Ms. Knight’s brand of erotica is easy to visualize and so sexy. Her characters are designed to have chemistry, even when they are being contrary. She is one of my go to authors when I need a paranormal erotica fix with vampires, witches and shifters – oh my. This latest book is a lovely addition to this universe. I look forward to the next one in this series. Recommended to paranormal romance readers who enjoy a bit of heat between their characters.”

Joel & Brent (Shibari Auction House Duet) by Sean Michael

Joel and Brent were interesting and vibrant characters who quickly stole my attention and I found myself eagerly reading wanting to know what would happen next. A passionate and intense read.”
http://www.longandshortreviews.com/book-reviews/joel-brent-by-sean-michael/
Free to Run (Reclamation 3) by BA Tortuga
“I instantly fell in love with Rafe – almost broken but still strong and firm in his own way. My heart broke for how Rafe had needed to build certain aspects of himself up and hide others, but it was delightful to watch him and Gil reconnect and be able to enjoy their love once more.”
http://www.longandshortreviews.com/book-reviews/free-to-run-by-ba-tortuga/
Absinthe (Spirits 2) by BA Tortuga and Julia Talbot

http://www.longandshortreviews.com/book-reviews/opportunity-knocks-by-julia-talbot/
Robin & Sam (Shibari Auction House Duet) by Sean Michael
“I’m all about escapism in my romance fiction, but the fact that the guys had to work even just a bit to make the threesome click properly together really helped sell me on what a great story this was… a hotly written, steamy BDSM story and well worth the read.”
http://www.longandshortreviews.com/book-reviews/robin-sam-by-sean-michael/
Jack, Alec & Ben (Shibari Auction House Box Set) by Sean Michael
“I loved the mix of teasing and hot sensuality that crackled between them. Reading about them getting their happy ending was just a delight. Three deliciously hot short story compiled together into an amazing book that I thoroughly loved. Highly recommended.”
