Give me more.
Heaps of Pearl - Seanan McGuire

Well it would get a higher rating if it had been longer!
As for the rest, I loved seeing how Dianda and Patrick met. Also, it was curious to see some other characters _ not revealing whom _ from another perspective.

A Gay Romance
A Gay Romance - 'Gina A. Rogers', 'Kyle Adams'

This book takes taking nothing seriously very serious. ( yeah, I had to read it twice to understand what I meant too)
It's a spooftastic, caricature laden, chocked-full of every trope under the sun, a hilarious parody that pokes good natured fun at all the things m/m books seem to love to incorporate over and over again in all the books.
In a friendly way it exaggerates everything from growling with a capital G by an Alpha with a capital A to the “Homosapia County police. The fact that, miraculously and very conspicuously, every single officer who worked there was gay made the Hall of Head a double entendre and funny as hell.”
Ram Rage and his partner Blake are the cops that are going to try and solve the murder that was perpetrated at the Sew What and Kory is the prime suspect.
Which brings Kory in to Ram's life and the Alpha (with a capital growly A) doesn't know what hit him.
Murder, mayhem, inept cops, lube, unicorns, applesauce, never ending hot water heaters, and a green-eyed man everyone ( and I mean everyone ) loves and puntastic craziness ensues. Oh and not to forget a freaky plant with his own POV.
To enjoy this story you have to just let go and take nothing seriously and love a jammed packed story of jokey silliness. It was fun seeing what OTT satire was coming next, every trope was covered, sometimes to an extreme. And the book doesn't just make fun of all the ever present and much loved 'typical' and 'stereotypical' things in the m/m genre and in the books I've read and loved, it also makes fun of itself.
“I’m in charge here,” Ram growled. “We’re going to do this by the book. You can’t just skip pages of the gay manual, we do all the steps, in order, so we get the full experience.”

I found myself nodding and smiling, thinking oh yes, that in every other book I've read and then I'd read on and nod and say OH YES riiight that is also a must-have in an m/m story. A lot of the things I complain about or bemoan in books were so cleverly exaggerated that I had to laugh at myself a little for usually being annoyed by them. I've also never read any of it quite like these authors portrait it, I can say despite reading a lot, but the way this was done is definitely unique. At times it was a bit overwhelming and it took me a chapter or two to really get what it was all about, but certain things were just so well done and impressively ridiculous that I just had to be amused. Plus there was one of my favorite things EVER in this book, I don't want to say what, but it's no wonder everyone loves Kory. I also have to add my vocabulary for the word 'butthole' has been expanded ( pun intended) by leaps and bounds..so many different ways of saying it. I'm in awe.
I really don't want to give anything away, this book has to be read to be believed.

He does a lot more than Kiss Joan Collins...
Kissing Joan Collins (Valentine's Day 2012 from MLR Press) - Lex Valentine
I won this as an audiobook. And it finally got me to venture over to audible ( popping my audible cherry, so to speak). 

I've had good and less than good ( sometimes downright awful experience with audiobooks) and this one was definitely good. The narrator was nice to listen to and I could tell who was who.

The story is a very sweet friends-to-lovers one. Logan has loved Chase since the first day he saw him at college, but Chase is perfect and Logan is sure he doesn't stand a chance. So he keeps his feelings well hidden and enjoys the close friendship they have.
Now, a decade later Chase is going to change the status quo and he picks a very interesting and sexy way of doing it.
This one really is sweet, very sweet, totally fluffy and great for a feel-good, no angst, lots of luv and sexy heels kind of read. ( or in my case hear)

No Fear In Love...really?
No Fear in Love - Jamie Craig

I think this short had a lot of potential, but at least for me, it was too short and had too much sex to really realize it.
Weston doesn't really fit in but God and his faith has always been there for him. 
He's loved his best and only friend Mark for many years but thought there was never any future for them as more than friends. So he became an Anglican priest and is content, mostly.
Now Mark is here to see if he can change that. Is Mark worth throwing his whole life over? 


“Nothing hurt when he woke up, surrounded by Mark’s warmth. Nothing hurt when they were children, playing together. Nothing hurt when they were sharing a pint and laughing over something stupid. Nothing hurt when they were just together.”

review SPOILER ALERT! 2014-03-19 09:49
This was a crash for me
Crashing the Comicon (Wolves of Stone Ridge) - Charlie Richards
need an intervention. Seriously, I can not stop reading these books even though I end up grumping about certain aspects.
I mean, it's not like I read vampire/shifter stories for the realism. I LIKE the mate/mine trope. The instant attraction and undeniability of the pairing in these kind of stories.
But *I spoiler here so go away if you don't want to know what's going to happen*

Dirk was abducted and sexually and physically assaulted by a group of shifters. I can totally get he's freaking the fuck out about this new guy saying pretty much the same lines to him as kidnapping/rapist asshole did, but Seb ( the vampire who lurves him) breaks in to his room and explains it all, he's just all, oh yeah, I trust you, awesome, I am totally over that and let's get on with the sexing. *sigh*
Then ( totally irrelevant, I know) how did all these other people/wolf shifters/ vampires etc manage to get rooms in the hotel a convention is being held at? LAST MINUTE. I know, I know, Mandy, let it go, but you know, it's in my brain the whole time.
Then how many homophobes does a short book really need? How many people need to get threatening or muttering fag? I don't know, but I guess you need quite a few of them. ( not to forget the bimbo chicks hitting on hot vamp) I don't mind per-names too much but cutie got old really fast.
Oh and did Dirk really refer to his abductor and rapist and abuser ( whiles he you know, trying to re-kidnapp him) as hisEX??!'
I know we all have ex's that were assholes, but referring to thisguy as an ex? Well..NOT ok. He's not an ex, they met had dinner, 4 days later he's in a cage being passed around as a sex toy and beaten. Although that does make all my ex's look really good in comparison. Who knew? 
Just for those of you who are worried, all the abuse is in the past on only fleetingly referred to, since you know, all Dirk needed was the magical Vamp and his bites and dick to totally get over any of that trauma. 
*sigh* I'm grumpy and I shouldn't be. I know this is how these books sometimes are and yet I can't stop, because when there aren't stupid characters in them acting, you know, stupid. I LIKE the mate-mine-growl-sex. Rinse and repeat. 
Just for the pure brainless fluff of it, but then sometimes my brain won't take a hike like I want it too and I end up grumpy.
