by
A Kiss to Revive Me - Michele Notaro

Genre: Fantasy, Gay Romance LGBTQ+ Category: Gay Reviewer: Maryann Get It On Amazon About The Book A prickly mage has me under his spell, and I think I kinda like it. The first time I met him, I knew I was in trouble, but I hadn’t known just how much. I hadn’t been looking for a relationship, hadn’t wanted one, but it seems that a stubborn little mage did it for me because he’s impossible to resist. When the NHSO goes on a manhunt for an unregistered mage, I can tell it’s upsetting for Mads and Jude. It’s upsetting for … Read more

The Scars That Bind Us - Michelle Notaro

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Romance LGBTQ+ Category: Gay, Bi, Demi, Non-Binary (secondary character) Reviewer: Maryann Get It On Amazon About The Book What kind of mage would be crazy enough to crush on a shifter? Me. Apparently me. The world is a messed-up place. Especially for those of us who have magic, and I know just how terrible it can be firsthand. Which is one of the reasons I try to stay away from people… humans and shifters especially. Unfortunately, the NHSO forces magi to work alongside shifters to help protect the humans from taragorians—scary beasts from another realm. Which means … Read more
