Two Chicks Obsessed with Books & Eye Candy

Sharing our love of M/M Romance

What He Learns: Desires: New Beginnings by EM Denning: New Release Review

February 12, 2023 by Denise

A new dominant
A jaded submissive
What could possibly go right?
Sterling’s plan is simple. Learn how to be dominant, woo his crush. The only problem is he doesn’t know how to do either of those things. Getting a job at the local kink club seems like a good place to start. Meeting a kind and older submissive on his first night on the job throws a wrench into his plans.
Despite how hard he tried, Kelly was never enough for his ex-husband. Years after their amicable, yet heartbreaking, divorce, Kelly has come to terms with how things ended. Hoping to put all his doubts aside, he’s ready to get back into the scene.
Kelly’s first night coincides with Sterling’s first shift at Desires, and he can’t help his interest in the much younger man who has more questions than answers. It doesn’t take long for them both to realize they have something important to offer the other. Sterling needs practice and Kelly… well, after so long away, he does too.
Questions turn into scenes and scenes turn into more, and they’re just getting started when Kelly’s doubts creep back in. If he wasn’t enough for his ex, how can he be enough for a man like Sterling? Can Kelly learn to trust again, or will they lose everything they have built together before love can even be found?

This book what such a great combo of sweet and hot. And it wasn’t cheesy and I really, really enjoyed it.

First time Dom. Amirite? Especially since it seemed like he was going into it for one person. But it wasn’t something he really considered until he saw it. Someone kneeling.

This is where it could so quickly go off the rails. Baby Dom jumping in there, double fisting paddles, going way overboard. But nope. He eases into it so gently and naturally. Starting slowly with an experienced sub. Getting advice from not only his sub, but other Doms. He wasn’t a kid in a candy store. He was a kid with 50 cents standing in front of candy dispensers figuring out where he should spend his money.

Kelly was great. A experienced sex only sub who is divorced from a full time Dom. Or wanna be full time Dom with a sub who wants to please but ended up resenting him. I love that they stayed friends. Seeing each other for lunch once a week or so. What was a toxic marriage turned into a lovely friendship.

Sterling and Kelly are wonderful together. A great match who not only fulfill each others needs, but are a strong relationship outside of kink. The I love yous were a bit fast, but hey. Who am I to judge?

I’d love to see Sterling gain more confidence and expand his repertoire with Kelly. Hoping for them to pop up in coming books.

Vengeful Monster by JR GrayMy reviewWell. That book was a lot. Royalty in disguise, secret societies, families of assassins, "phyco-spicy" as one main character puts it and a whole lot more.From the beginning I didn't fully understand why Ash was told to do everything he could to secure a spot in the secret society that starts at his college. Just that it was needed to protect his brother who was next in line for the throne. Rurik is in the secret society and part of the trials for people to join. He sets his eyes on Ash immediately. I will say I didn't like how much Rurick was making sexual advances toward Ash who said no many, many times. Consent is a thing. So that really bugged me because it continued throughout a lot of the book before Ash relented and admitted he was into it.And that whole first act which was a back and forth between the two was really long and repetitive. Especially since I took issue with the consent thing.There also seemed to be huge swaths of time where nothing happened with the trials. It was even mentioned that the last part of the trials really weeds them out because it's so hard. But that didn't happen. And we never even met any of the other wannabes. But once we got down the the nitty gritty...then the book got good. I can usually suss out what is coming, but I was pleasantly surprised by the reveal.So the first 2/3 was a bit slow and a bit non-con with a lot of different characters, I did enjoy the last third.3 PEOC ...

✨TEASER: THE SPARE AFFAIR by @ellafrank1 & @brookeblaine1 releasing September 29th! #PreOrderHere geni.us/TheSpareAffair Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…👑Royal Romance👑Prince x Prince👑Rivals to Lovers👑Competitive Flirting👑Keeping Score👑Forced Proximity👑Slow Emotional Burn/Fast Physical Burn👑Golden Retriever x Black Cat👑Playboys👑Brother’s Ex-Fiance👑Secret RelationshipGabrielWinning people over has always been my greatest talent. One smile, one joke, one perfectly timed wink, and I have them eating out of my hand. But I don’t think that’s going to work so well on Prince Alejandro of Solterra. The man my twin, King Nicholas Valemont, cast aside for his footman in his pursuit of true love. Alejandro is infuriatingly handsome, impossibly stubborn, and determined to turn every conversation into a competition. Every move feels suspiciously like a trap designed to make me—the other Valemont brother—suffer.So naturally, I decide to make a game of it. No feelings. No jealousy. No falling in love. Simple.At least…it was supposed to be.AlejandroI’ve already been the world’s biggest royal headline because of a Valemont once. I have no interest in becoming one again. Then Gabriel arrives—charming, relentless, impossible to ignore—and somehow turns every argument into flirtation and every competition into something dangerously fun. We agree on one rule above all else: no falling in love.It should’ve been easy. Instead, every sharp word, every stolen kiss, every moment no one else is watching makes it harder to remember where the game ends…and where real feelings begin. Because the most dangerous thing about competing with Gabriel isn’t losing. It’s realizing I’d happily let him win. ✨INFLUENCERS: Sign up here to promote this awesome release: bit.ly/THESPAREAFFAIRSIGNUP#ellafrank #brookeblaine #royalromance The Author Agency ...
