I’d worked hard to earn my degree so when my best friend suggested we treat ourselves to a cruise for graduation, I felt like I’d earned it Fun, sun, and a good drink package… what more could a boy want other than maybe a Daddy of his own?
Adam
I hadn’t taken a vacation since I couldn’t remember when, so when my loving but interfering sister gifted me a cruise for my birthday, what could I do but accept? Of course, she chose well and picked a special cruise being hosted by a local kink dating app. Worst case, I could swim, read, and maybe find a boy to play with for the week.
This story features Daddy/boy mixers, a young man just striking out on his own, an older man who is ready to settle down, swimming with dolphins, some serious insta-love, sisters who know everything, friends who just want you to be happy, and two men who find out sometimes what was only meant to last for the week lasts a lifetime.
*Cruising for a Daddy was orginally published in the 2022 Pride anthology. The only change to this book is the addition of an epilogue.*
Cat gives this Book 4 meows with a 4 purr heat Index...
Cruising for a Daddy is a short, sweet and hot romance. It is fast-paced but good.
The characters are likeable, the plot sweet and fun and the romance hot. While it is a kink story it's not overly kinky, mainly just Daddy/Boy, so if you've been wanting to try this type of story but not real big on kink this is a good one for dipping your toes in the water.
If you like books about Daddys and Boys, cruises, age gap, vacation romance, and an allover sweet but hot romance, then this is for you.

Whiskey with Wolves Erica Spray Publication date: May 7th 2024 Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance
Sadie Crowe is a runaway hoping to make a better future for herself, but she soon discovers what it means to truly be on her own. While trying to survive bartending in the middle of nowhere, Sadie is swept away by promises of money and an easy life by an enigmatic stranger. The grown-up world makes one dark turn after another, and Sadie must find her way through torment into the light of her future.
Born and raised in Southwest Louisiana taught me how to spin stories naturally. The culture, the flair, and the people really made it a magical place as a child. In a lot of my writings I still use Louisiana as the location because in a place as wild and tight-knit as Southern Louisiana, the possibilities are endless.
I knew I wanted to be a writer since I was in middle school. When i was in my thirties I knew that writing was my true calling in life. Just for the record, if something is your true calling, it will never stop calling you. Writing never stopped calling me and i'm glad that I finally listened and decided to take that leap.
You'll learn pretty quickly that my novels are mysterious and thrilling. I hope to always bring that element of surprise in each book ending. Think you have me figured out? Think again.
Young phenom pitcher Connor Clark doesn't want or need anyone's help making it to the majors.
He's got a hot arm, and an even hotter temper.
So when his minor league team brings in seasoned catcher Jackson Evans to "handle" him, the two clash instantly.
But as the two battle for power, anger gives way to lust, and an awakening Connor didn't see coming.
If Jackson wants to be 'hands on,' they might as well enjoy it. But once again, the man makes Connor work for it. Just like he does on the field.
Only this time, the reward is so much sweeter. When Connor gives in to Jackson's coaching, and Jackson gives in to his attraction, they're instantly on a hot streak—on the field and in bed.
So hot that Connor finally gets that call to the majors he's always wanted.
But what's a pitcher to do without the catcher who owns his heart? Now all Connor needs is to convince Jackson they belong to each other forever, not just on a baseball diamond.
Cat Gives this book 4 Meows with a 4 purr heat index...
Connor is an up and coming pitcher in the minor leagues that could be great, but he's cocky and doesn't take direction well.
The league brings in Jackson, a great catcher and batter that, for some reason, just hasn't hit the big leagues. They figure if anyone can whip Connor into shape, it will be Jackson.
Jackson thinks his sexuality is what's kept him from the big leagues and, though he's only a few grand slams from setting the minor league record, he doesn't feel good enough.
Then he meets Connor and old feelings awaken. He's glad Connor is straight until Connor starts flirting with him.
The story is really good. There's this animosity at the beginning where they don't like each other, but this is sexual tension that creeps up and ratchets as the story goes.
As always, the characters are amazing and though this is supposed to be stand alone story, I hope we get more of some of these guys.
And if you're a Beth Bolden fan you will find an Easter egg. I loved this character from the Piranahs popping up and adding a touch of humor.
If you like Sexual awakening (gay for you) teammates to lovers, kinda enemies to lovers, forced proximity, opposites attract, a little slow burn but once they are together oh my!... and a fabulous age gap, then this is for you.
A lifelong Pacific Northwester, Beth Bolden has just recently moved to North Carolina with her supportive husband. Beth still believes in Keeping Portland Weird, and intends to be just as weird in Raleigh.
Beth has been writing practically since she learned the alphabet. Unfortunately, her first foray into novel writing, titled Big Bear with Sparkly Earrings, wasn’t a bestseller, but hope springs eternal. She has published over forty novels and novellas.
Genre: Mafia Romance (Lovers to Enemies, and back to Lovers)

“This story will take you on a roller coaster of emotions with scenes that are described in such detail that you may cringe. It’s not everyday you read a story that is so intense your heart palpitates!” - Goodreads Review
Being the princess and heir to the Rinaldi Family Empire was never my plan. My father groomed me despite my need for freedom. His path leads to death and destruction. My path leads to happily ever after.
Falling in love with the prince of the rival family wasn’t part of the plan. He was supposed to be my peace and way out of this life, but it wasn’t meant to be.
The tragic death of my father was the catalyst for the rise of my dark side. The part of me that I wanted to keep hidden.
Relentless, dark, and unforgiving.
My father’s killers have awakened the beast within and in the midst, lies and betrayal are uncovered. Hunting them down is only the beginning. The two paths collide and form a destiny where only their deaths will lead to my happily ever after.

This was a fabulous dark, New Adult Mafia Romance.
It's very gritty and does have some graphic violence.
The romance is sweet and there is some twists and turns.
Also, a pretty gripping almost tearjerking moment.
Very worth reading for dark romance or Mafia Romance lovers...like me.
I've enjoyed books for as long as I can remember. Reading allows you to expand your mind and make you say, what if? Six years ago, I became a part of the Book World as a Blogger and The Erotic Book Review was born.
I love reading and listening to all genres, but I'm very drawn to Romance on the kinky side of things. I believe pursuing your passion brings out your creativity and
allows endless possibilities to come forth. It is magic to take a reader on a journey that forces them to crossover into your world. My love for stories has inspired me to write and share my words. I hope readers enjoy them as much as I loved creating them.

Another fantastic story in Morgan Brice's supernatural worlds.
This is third book in the Treasure Trail series. You probably could understand on your own but would understand much more if read in order.
Ben and Erik are getting settled in their new relationship, but nothing is ever easy. Erik is running an antique shop and Ben is running his aunt's rental business. But it seems they can't stay out of the mob, or Ghosts sights.
The story is intriguing, the characters are lots of fun and the romance sweet with some heat.
You can never go wrong with a Morgan Brice mystery.
Excerpt
“This brings back memories.” Ben Nolan and his partner carried the last boxes up the stairs. “I spent too many Saturdays in my twenties helping my friends move in and out of apartments for free pizza and beer.”
“Look at it as a built-in fitness workout,” Erik Mitchell, his boyfriend, replied. “The good thing is that most days, you don’t need to go up and down more than once.”
“I’m sure I can come up with reasons to stay in.” Ben dripped his voice to a sexy growl and gave Erik a knowing look.
Erik shook his head fondly. “Sounds good—but we still need to go to work sometime.”
Erik owned Trinkets, the antique shop in the first floor of the old Victorian house where their apartment took up the second level. “Can’t beat the commute,” he added.”
“True—and mine’s still totally walkable unless the weather is foul.” Ben managed Nolan Resort Real Estate, owned by his aunt and uncle. Until recently, he had stayed in one of the company’s rentals. Ben had moved in with Erik a few months ago, but forgotten about a stack of boxes that were still stored in Trinkets’ back room.
The important stuff had already found a place in the apartment. Now Ben needed to figure out what in these last boxes to keep or toss. He’d packed long enough ago that he had forgotten what remained.
“Actually, I was surprised how fast I got used to the stairs,” Erik told him. “My place in Atlanta had an elevator, but nowhere near the charm.”
Both Ben and Erik had recently moved to Cape May, New Jersey to make a fresh start after their old lives went off the rails. Ben stepped away from being a Newark cop after a betrayal and a near-fatal shooting, and becoming a private investigator had left him burned out and bitter. Erik left his high-profile work stopping art fraud and antiquities smugglers when a bust gone wrong nearly got him killed—and his boyfriend cheated. Differing circumstances led them to Cape May and chance brought them together, but Ben thanked his lucky stars every day for how things had turned out.
“Now we just have to figure out what’s worth keeping.” Ben surveyed the stacks of boxes in the living room. “We already have an interesting decorating style.”
They had found a quirky way to blend his statues of Spider-Man and Optimus Prime and wall art of some of his favorite comics and sci-fi movies with Erik’s more traditional taste, honed by his work for art museums.
“Bring it on,” Erik said with a laugh. “It’s good to shake things up.”
Ben reeled him in for a kiss. “I can think of ways to get a whole lotta shakin’ going on,” he growled.
Erik kissed him and stepped away. “Hold that thought. We need to be able to navigate through the living room, so the boxes can’t stay—which means unpacking.”
“Spoil sport,” Ben grumbled good-naturedly.

I’ve been in love with Hudson Nash for years, but he’s too stubborn to admit he wants me too. For a whole bunch of stupid reasons.
Like the fact I’m too young. (What’s a twenty-year gap? Age is just a number, am I right?)
And a virgin. (Which he could easily fix!)
And maybe not the best choice, given he and my dad hate each other. (It’s not that ba— Okay, it is that bad, but our love could totally rise above, right? It would be epic!)
I see the way he watches me like a starving man. The heat in his eyes when I flirt with him. The longing that he feels too.
If Hudson won’t stop pushing me away, I’m just going to have to show him what he’s missing.
I’ll flirt with the pretty boy tourists who come my way. Or maybe the gruff but sexy boat tour operators. Heck, I’ll flirt with the dang fish if that’s what it takes for Hudson to make a move.
I’ll be a total dock tease—until Hudson makes me his.
Because I’m not a tease at all. Not for the right man.

This is the sweetest, spicy age gap! I love a good age gap especially a large gap like this. Plus, you have all the quirky characters; meddling best friends, a family feud, and a fun small town that's a character in and of itself.
If you've never read DJ Jamison you're in for a treat. This is Book one in the series, so it's a good starting place. If you are already a fan you know what I mean by how fun the stories can be.
The plot keeps you interested the characters really make you want more and tge names especially the stores and stuff are hilarious.
If you like romcoms, age gap, first love, first time, quirky characters, meddling friends, small town and some heat, then this book is for you.
DJ Jamison writes romances about everyday life and extraordinary love featuring a variety of queer characters, from gay to bisexual to asexual. DJ grew up in the Midwest in a working-class family, and those influences can be found in her writing through characters coping with real-life problems: money troubles, workplace drama, family conflicts and, of course, falling in love. DJ spent more than a decade in the newspaper industry before chasing her first dream to write fiction. She spent a lifetime reading before that and continues to avidly devour her fellow authors’ books each night. She lives in Kansas with her husband, two sons, one snake, and a sadistic cat named Birdie.
A few days in the jungle with her changed my world.
The grumpy, angry man who used to reside in my body was gone,
replaced with someone who knew how to smile.
But just as quickly as this new man emerged, I was replaced with my former self.
And that’s when I knew I would go to any lengths to find her again.
Yet, even as I moved heaven and earth to find her, danger was lurking.
I didn’t know who was after her or why.
The urge to protect her was stronger than ever.
And with the help of an old friend, we might just get out of this alive.
I’ve always believed that something good can come out of something tragic.
But as I stood in that forest looking over the cliff, I struggled to see how that could be true.

You do need to read this series in order.
Wow, you just never know what to expect or who the next book is about.
I find myself counting the original men and thinking... this one hasn't had a story, this one hasn't so one of these will be next... then a few new guys are added to the roster... yay more books to come.
It's been a while since we'd heard from this team, so I had to go to the glossary at the front of book that lists characters and their women, to figure out who this guy was. No, I'm not telling you, it's part of the fun figuring it out.
Not only was the main guy a surprise but the entire story was full of twists, nail-biting suspense and the humor we expect as well.
I'll tell you this much, we do get some Fox and Cash. Be prepared for one fast, twisty, mind-warping ride.
