Let me start by saying: I loved the first part, Pink Triangle. This WW2 book had everything I love in this genre, so I felt honoured and absolutely thrilled when the author reached out and asked me if I would be willing to read her book before its official release. Getting back to one…

Love, peril, magic, paranormal – what else do you need?
Inheritance of Shadows by A.L. Lester I received an ARC copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. Matty and Rob from “The Gate” (1st volume of the Lost in Time series) are back in Inheritance of Shadows! The book picks up the thread right at where the original short story left the…

A lovely journey hand in hand with the paranormal
The Flowers of Time (3rd book of Lost in time series) by A.L. Lester I received an ARC copy in exchange of an honest review I first discovered A.L. Lesters books when I was looking for time traveller stories. I think the concept of time travel is fascinating and stories that use this plot device…
Historical gay fictions by Ruby Moone – I.
Regency Rouges series I really like to read historical fictions, and if it has a layer of gay romance in it all the better. As an amateur historian, I am really interested in the way of life of the marginal groups of society like courtesans, natural children and members of various LGBTQ groups. Their lives…
Reminder from the festive season through To Touch the Light by E.M. Lindsey
The book I chose for this post was among the Christmas themed novels I’d read in the last festive season. And to tell you the truth it’s quite stuck in my head since then. It wasn’t a fluffy story and unlike any other Christmas/Holiday novel which are filled with so much sweetness it’d make your…
Full Spectrum of an Adventure
Hell & Highwater (Thirds Volume 1) This post will be similar in structure to the Zero at the Bone full-review, I plan to summarize all the strong points, quality and the possible flaws you may come across in the different versions/adaptations of the book. So let’s get started.
One book for the Chirstmases to come
Glitter on the Garland and Sparkle to the Season by Helen Juliet If I had to choose only one book for the Christmases to come, it would be Helen Juliet’s Christmas series. I think it may be a bit confusing that in the title I said “one book” and I picked two, but it’s because…
Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol reloaded? Hell yeah!
Since when I was a little kid I loved Christmas novels and novellas. And as the title – not so subtlety – suggests Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol was one of my favorites. I’ve read the book countless times and watched all the films and animations. I even have read the Scrooge McDuck edition comic….
Spooky book choice for the spooky season
When the music stops from John T. Fuller Originally I wanted to choose a ghost story for this spooky post, but all the ghost books I read recently was Christmas stories, so they do not really fit in the Halloween season. Then it occurred to me that I’ve read a book with a story taking…
Eltévedt karácsonyi hangulat: A Frost of Cares
Nem tudom, ti hogy vagytok vele, de engem augusztus végén – szeptember elején általában elkap valami furcsa, megtévedt karácsonyi hangulat. Halkan azért megjegyezném, hogy nagyon szeretem a karácsonyt, szóval nem szoktam bánni. És szerencsére ez a fajta állapot viszonylag könnyen gyógyítható. Általában egy félig végighallgatott karácsonyi playlisttel és egy jól megválasztott karácsonyi regénnyel. A mostani…
Through someone’s eyes: novels written in 1st person POV
I think when we choose our next read, we let our decision to be made guided by some sort of preferences. It could be the genre, the writing style, the gender or other characteristics of the main characters, the historical period where the novel takes place etc. Furthermore in my opinion the point of view…
One step out of my comfort zone: novels taking place in Africa
Well, where to start? I think every reader have has a spectrum of books they like to read within. It’s also true for me. I mainly read romances with same-sex couples as main characters. My spectrum extends from WWI and WWII (or modern military romances) through time travel to sci-fis taking place in space or…
Full spectrum of an adventure: Zero at the Bone by Jane Seville
Jane Seville’s Zero at the Bone was my second M/M read right after I have finished the Cut and Run series (completed with the Sidewinder side-story) by Madeleine Urban and Abigail Roux. And I loved it from the first word to the very last. After reading this book I’ve accidentally found the audiobook version narrated…
Some thought-provoking stuff from Tal Bauer: Executive Office
If you are hunting for some larger scale, thought-provoking read, search no more, the Executive Office trilogy is exactly what you need. But before you start to read, I have to mention that you will need an above average understanding of American political and election system along with the American political approach of the Near-East…
Special Forces – Mercenaries I-II.
To start this whole review, I have to tell you that I had my issues with these two books, mainly regarding Dan as I mentioned before. I you don’t know what I’m talking about, take a look at the previous review here.
Marshal Series by Mary Calmes
So Marshals… And easy-going story with thrilling plots and twist from Mary Calmes. The books of the series are listed below: All Kinds of Tied Down Fit to be Tied Tied Up in Knots Together Tied (it’s a ficlet taking place between book 3 and 4) Twisted and Tied
Time waits (C.B. Lewis: Out of Time Trilogy 1)
Wow, how I liked this book! I felt like Dieter and Janos became my best friends. Blue princess and his grumpy soldier, I could so vividly imagine them. They were so real with all their emotions and characteristics. By the way, if you want to know their feelings and relationship better, don’t forget to read…
Special Forces – Soldiers
Opinion regarding Soldiers and first third of Mercenaries 1. Warning: Plot spoilers ahead!!! Ok, so where to start? I loved Soldiers, even if it was painful to read at times (especially the first 2-3 chapters) while I followed the 9 years of the Main Characters’ life. Vadim’s first appearance really made me think, if I…
Aleksandr Voinov: Skybound
Skybound was among the first novels/novellas I read from Aleksandr Voinov right after I have finished Soldiers. I read it along with Voinov’s other WW2 novels (I plan to write a thorough post about Voinov’s ww2 cycle). I can’t remember which order I read those books in, but it doesn’t matter to me, only the…
