So maybe I don't have long red hair. Or look like a girl. But if I was wearing headphones and going up a glass elevator, I'd be dancing like someone told me I won the internet. Or a date with a certain actor of my dreams. Anyways...Detective Roger Corso comes back to his home to realize a corpse has...

LA based murder mystery with some kink? Why, yes…I"ll take that.Perfect timing for this read. I was so in the mood for this story and gobbled it right up. It had a nice mix of nostalgia, mystery and this coming to accept the changes of time. So, emotional and a bit sad at times, but the kind that ma...

Look, 4 stars! I’m on a roll! I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I’m reading old stuff these days... Anyway, It’s my second read by A.M. Riley and I don’t know if it’s a habit I will find in her other books, but I like very much how the mystery and her detective’s personal life ...

Like being buried underneath an avalanche of mediocrity, that’s basically how I felt about my latest reads. So color me very relieved when The Elegant Corpse turned out to be a breath of fresh air!You won’t find overwrought flowery sentences and metaphors in this book. If you adore your m/m romance ...

I wonder if I’ve read the same book as everyone else, because I’m kind of looking about in disbelief. Surely I’m not the only one that found that this book was mediocre at best. Hmmf … perhaps I really have become a cynical cow... Oh well, just so you know that this is a minority opinion review befo...

I'm pretty tangled up about this thing. The writing is faultless, it has one of the finest examples of tautly maintained characterisations I've ever read (the MC is -- there's no other word for it -- spellbinding) and yet I came away feeling so ill and wrecked from the whole experience I didn't kno...

If you want to get a synopsis of what happens in a book, don't read my reviews. Synopsis writing has to be one of my least favorite occupations.I will tell you what I liked and didn't like about them though.First up. A.M.Riley's books all are non-predictable. In other words, whether writing a whodun...

I have to admit even though I've read a good amount of BDSM I'm still very wary about the genre. However, for this book I actually didn't even mind reading the BDSM parts and I wasn't even squirmish like I usually am when reading such parts. It's a good beginner book for those who haven't read a BDS...

I wish there were more MM BDSM books like this one!!! I loved it.. everything is perfect. The original plot, the mystery, the romance, the... BDSM scenes.Just a comment. There is not abuse in this book. At all. So if you are searching a BDSM with a strong, but lovely Dom and a younger partner (10 ye...

I forgot how much I enjoyed mysteries. Roger was one of the most persnickety characters I've read in a while. The mystery is good but the character driven story line caught me.
