Vol 1, which contains book 1 and book 2. Really good. I loved the main character, the same way that everyone in the book falls in love with Jory too. His on again/off again relationship with his almost-out-of-the-closet boyfriend would normally annoy me, but is so well written and with such engag...
As I've said in my review for Bulletproof, this book and the last just seemed like a stepping stone for Aaron and his new love's story. However, this book also seemed like a giant epilogue for Jory and Sam's story. I liked how Mary Calmes integrated all the children into every part of the book an...
It looks like I'm jumping on the Mary Calmes bandwagon. The first book I read of hers, "A Matter of Time," I didn't like much. But the next two -- "Mine," "Floodgates" -- I liked a lot. And now, "Steamroller" goes into the "like" pile too. These boys were adorable. Although everyone fawned over C...
After being shot Jory ends up in hospital and Sam leaves him to find all the villains that are involved. Three years later, Jory is still the model-like beautiful man, all gay men are after but he only has one-night-stands because his heart was broken once by Sam and he doesn’t want that ever to ...
It has been three years since Jory Harcourt deliberately took a bullet meant for Sam Kage. And it has been three years since Sam Kage walked out of the hospital and walked out on Jory, ostensibly to work undercover to find the cartel leader who ordered the hit. But Jory was conscious, though unab...
Ohhh I like. Hot gay marshals. Partners. Miro loves Ian, but thinks he can't have him. But of course, all Ian wants is Miro. I totally fell for this story. The in your face chemestry. Why Miro did not see the need in Ian I did not know. The signs were all there. The posessiveness. The attention. ...
A funny romantic/sexy read. Stefan is the gay BFF of Charlotte and when he goes back to Texas for her wedding he dreads seeing her brother Rand as Rand seems to hate him and the feeling is mutual. On this visit though Rand seems to want to do more than torture him! Their hate/hate relationship...
This was my first Mary Calmes, but I've read the reviews. I know the formula, and I saw it throughout this story. Recognizing it, this was an enjoyable fluffy read. There were dark moments, but they didn't pack the punch that they could have. I wasn't frustrated though. There was sweet, and it wa...
After 50% I only skipped through the pages. There was way too much dialog. Not that it wasn’t good, but it was just A LOT. And the jealousy, which I usually love, was a tiny little bit too much for my liking. I think it actually bordered on possessiveness o.O I liked the pairing (detective and bi...
Tough one to rate. Compared to other two star ratings I've given recently, this book was better. I had still issues with it, though. Lots of issues.First and foremost, Jory is too perfect. Everyone loves him. Guys meet him and want to jump his bones. He sleeps with them once and they're suddenly ...
Classic Mary Calmes with a twist of paranormal.I quite enjoyed this sweet romance. The sweetness that Calmes is famous for is noticeably toned down for which I am grateful. The pacing is fairly quick and the paranormal aspect is not prominent. This story is heavily on the romance side but it was ...
I love me some MC but I just couldn't jump on board with this book. I loved the boys but I just thought this book was, dare I say, boring? I just thought there could be more action, a bigger battle with Ray or adding another element with the hunters on Roman's property...more suspense. The rel...
When I finished this book, I closed it, opened it, and immediately re-read it.I'll be honest. I'm a born skim-reader. When I reread a book, I usually find entire swathes of paragraphs which I've mindlessly skipped over.I didn't skim this one. Which is why it has shocked me that in the week follow...
I loved this story - Charlie is a wonderful hard-working man with a painful past. He falls into a job with a construction company owned by Leo Foster, who is "a nice guy, just ask my mom". Leo is a little tired of Charlie flinching and shying away from him, so he literally takes Charlie to meet h...
It took me a while to get back into this universe. I read the three previous books a while ago and I had forgotten many things, so I was quite lost on the first chapters I read. Eventually I managed to get back into the universe, which made the story more enjoyable. I remembered how I liked this ...
Wow. I really love it when a sequel is just as good or even better than the first book and Mary Calmes succeeded here. Stef and Rand are back and it's lovely to come home to them. Knowing the writing is going to be fabulous, that Stef will still be snarky and funny. That Rand will be so hotly pos...
Whoa. This one hurt my heart a lot. There were parts of this that were very difficult to read but I just couldn't stop. I was very scared and very anxious for a lot of this book. But, this is Mary and I knew without a doubt that the beautiful that would come would make up for all the pain. And ye...
Okay, I decided to give the second book a chance and I'm happy to say that I liked it a lot more than the first book.while the first book seemed repetitive and lacking in climax, this second book's plot was a lot more developed and there was more attention paid to the details and settings.I felt ...
This was a fun romp of an installment to get us by until the next book in the series. Jory is just supposed to enter a bank and make a deposit, but instead he gets held as a hostage for a bank robbery. The robbers find themselves confounded when they learn that it is just not their day. They'v...
Cosa posso dire di questo breve romanzo?E' sensuale, erotico e "caldo".Fin da subito veniamo catapultati in un mondo di calore, tenerezza, coccole e sesso. Ma anche di combattimenti, demoni e lotte.E' il primo libro di una saga incentrata sul paranormale, sui demoni e sui guerrieri che li combatt...
Ici Mary Calmes nous offre une petite romance en rapport avec un univers paranormal qu’elle a mis en place et que j’espère Dreamspinner nous traduira.Le départ de cette romance est assez sympathique, seulement la fin est trop rapide et les sentiments sont vraiment trop stéréotypés.Julian est un h...
Not really a whole book. This feels like the opening few chapters to a much more complicated paranormal novel.The setting is interesting - fireman discovers secretive Gargoyle community, but I honestly had no more idea of what was going on with the gargoyles at the end than I did at the very mys...
This is a nice little short story, I really wish it was longer! Mary has given us a great world, family, characters, and a good story, but not enough! I get it was meant to be a holiday novella, and I'm really not criticizing, I would have liked to have more!Nothing really surprising in the chara...
Oh I loved this! Kind of upsetting at first. The way Dylan seemed to be taking Malic for granted. And Malic just supporting Dylan no matter what. Ugh. Love him. It was nice to see a little more of these two. Nice to get more backstory. I wouldn't mind more backstory on all of them, actually. LOL ...
Can I just say that I LOVE Mary Calmes?! I always love her books, and this was no exception. I have trouble with some short stories because you don't get to see the relationship develop, or you don't feel the chemistry between the two MCs because the story is too short, so the characters experi...
Three and a half stars because Mary Calmes can write a hot, sexy love scene with lots of emotion. I was panting. Some of the problems included Davis suddenly wanting Cam after rejecting him for the past twelve years. Cam has loved Davis forever. Now Davis insists they start immediately on fore...
While I liked the character of Evan, I hated Dixon. Are you kidding me? You are with the so called love of your life for four years, then randomly eavesdrop a conversation between your super rich dad and super rich gramps,methinks they are discussing said love of life's unsuitability and you ju...
Those who have read any of Mary Calmes works will instantly recognize this story as hers. For those of you who find her writing repetitive, well, this falls into the same category. But for those of you who, like me, find reading one of Ms Calmes's stories like catching up with an old familiar fri...
Ok...I've read the reviews and I'm kind of iffy. I liked the first book and waited for the sequel...but no Tucker? I thought it was gonna be a threesome, which would have been hot. Now I'm confused...but I'll read this anyway and judge for myself cause I liked these characters in the previous boo...
