CLAIMED WITHOUT MERCY by Dulce Dennison
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3852

“Two men, a love that neither saw coming. This was dark and beautiful. Ian and Kellen was everything. An enforcer and a guy who’s to be collected for a debt. Power imbalance, but they both found the perfect connection in one another. I loved these two so much.”

— 4 Stars from Ssirren, Goodreads Review

“This was an intense read. Emotional, captivating and at times darkly poetic love story.”

— 5 Stars from ArtTeaBooks, Goodreads Review

“…this story has great characters, plot, and everything else you can expect from an M/M dark romance. The dynamic of Ian and Kellen’s relationship and how it morphs them both is so good!”

— 5 Stars from Jadeetheroyal, Booksprout Review

“This isn’t a soft or easy romance—it leans fully into its dark themes: control, survival, power dynamics, and the blurred line between captivity and connection. If you’re drawn to darker romances where love isn’t clean, choices aren’t easy, and redemption is anything but simple, Claimed Without Mercy is a journey worth taking.”

— 5 Stars from C Luna, Barnes & Noble Review

“This is dark, manipulation, abuse, enemies to lovers and so much more… I did really enjoy their story.”

— 4 Stars from S. King, Goodreads Review

“Ian may [have] had the upper hand but Kellan’s timidity and sweetness worked in his favor.”

— 4 Stars from R Keebler, Amazon Review

“This dark M/M romance is intense, gritty, and strongly character-driven. Overall, a dark, emotional read with strong chemistry.”

— 5 Stars from Dawn Greaves, Amazon Review

DEVIL’S MAN by Kira Stone
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-1323

“Each story was unique and had a touch of steam and horror. It was an interesting read.”

— 4 Stars from Ladnamal, Goodreads Review

“This was a great collection. I loved how each one was so original to the others. Spice, love, mystery, horror. The blend was perfect.”

— 4 Stars from Ssirren, Goodreads Review

“This collection of LGBTQ+ stories definitely gets five stars from me. Dark and more than a little unsettling. This was an interesting blend of desire, horror, with a touch of romance.”

— 5 Stars from ArtTeaBooks, Goodreads Review

“I really enjoyed the short story and it did have a lot of heat…”

— 4 Stars from Nicole, Kobo Review

— 5 Stars from Shell R, Goodreads Review

“This is a flaming compact read with storyline and plenty of quality smut. The ending is great… Wonderfully short and packed with heat.”

— 5 Stars from JennieL78, Goodreads Review

“A dark, steamy enemies-to-lovers romance, Mira and Elias are consumed by power, control, and desire. As their chemistry grows more irresistible, both must decide how much they’re willing to risk to have everything they’ve secretly craved.”

— 5 Stars from Kymagirl, Goodreads Review

“Elias and Mira heat up the pages in this sizzling BDSM read where power plays leads to erotic surrender. It is a well written book that kept me glued to the characters.”

— 5 Stars from Merry Jelks-Emmanuel, Goodreads Review

“Respect, heat and spice.”

— 5 Stars from Siobhan D, Goodreads Review

“…a very enjoyable spicy read. One of the things I appreciated was that Elias showed respect for Mira at every point in their interactions, and neither Mira nor Elias were one dimensional characters. In fact, I was looking forward to the next chapter when it ended. Alas, I had forgotten it was less than 50 pages, but that’s just a sign of how well written it was.”

— 5 Stars from GenevieveReads, Goodreads Review

OKTOBER (KISS OF DEATH MC 12) by Marteeka Karland
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3855

“Everything about this book was so good and well-written. I enjoyed every moment and could not put it down. Be prepared to let those dishes sit or laundry be half finished. This book captures your attention from the very beginning and even when you are finished it won’t let you go. I laughed and cried my way through and loved every moment of this book.”

— 5 Stars from Lyndsay L, Goodreads Review

“Loved the characters and the story line. It kept me engaged, which is hard to do. I laughed, cried, and yelled. I was drawn into the story from the first page on. Loved the mix of languages. Can’t wait to read more books in this series.”

— 5 Stars from Nadine B., Amazon Review

“I really enjoyed getting to know Oktober and Mia. Mia is finding out that her heart isn’t as broken as she expected. Even as she learns to trust in the goodness of people, rough around the edges they may be. I laughed and I cried as Ms. Karland showed us Mia and Oktober’s growth together and apart. I cannot wait to see where she will take us next.”

— 5 Stars from Titania, Amazon Review

“I love that throughout the book Mia didn’t cut herself off from fun and new friends… She didn’t shy away from her feelings towards Oktober but also showed him respect by not wanting him to be a “rebound”. Oktober didn’t shy away from his feelings for Mia but gave her the same respect she gave him by allowing her time to think and reflect. I love the show of brotherhood the men gave Oktober and Mia.”

— 5 Stars from Nina Vee, Amazon Review

“This is an emotional roller coaster, but very engaging. You can bounce back from betrayal and sometimes this best is yet to come.”

— 5 Stars from AnotherDayInParadise, Amazon Review

“An emotionally powerful, perfectly unexpected and unflinching ride to go on. Oktober and Mia are perfect together. They may have started out as a fling but you could feel their chemistry and soon the deep intoxicating connection they were developing. I will not give anything away but the twists in this story had my heart clinch but at the same time swell. I enjoyed every single thrilling moment of this fantastic story.”

— 5 Stars from A. Fernandez, Amazon Review

“This story is incredibly intense, very emotional, raw and consuming. It’s all about healing, found family and forgiveness. There’s surprises and plot twists that kept me on the edge of my seat especially that little twist toward the end. Fantastic story!”

— 5 Stars from GKP2460, Amazon Review

“This was a great book.”

— 5 Stars from Brenda, Kobo Review

“I enjoyed this read… Mia and Oktober are locking in.”

— 4 Stars from Sheridan, Goodreads Review

“I really liked this. Wasn’t expecting it to be so emotional. And it was nice to read about a MC that actually likes women, and doesn’t treat them as second class citizens.”

— 4 Stars from Rah, Goodreads Review

“Mia is betrayed, but doesn’t let that stop her. I love her bounce back attitude and I loved her and Oktober together. This is an emotional roller coaster, but very engaging. You can bounce back from betrayal and sometimes this best is yet to come.”

— 5 Stars from Karen, Goodreads Review

“This book was so good. Good characters and storyline along with good twists and turns and suspense and action. Keeps your attention from the start. Very enjoyable.”

— 5 Stars from Carol, Goodreads Review

PARA SCHOOLED (BOX SET) by Emily Carrington
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3848

“All three stories are wonderful. They have a lovely feeling of acceptance and tolerance in the end, though it took a while for them all to get there, but in a good way, they were just as long as they needed to be. I recommend the set wholeheartedly.”

— 5 Stars from PhoenixJo, Goodreads Review

“This paranormal romance collection is set on a campus for supernatural students and teachers who all have different kinds of disabilities, which makes for a unique and engaging premise. The added conflict of external forces trying to eliminate anyone with disabilities gives the story higher stakes and an emotional edge.”

— 4 Stars from Suserla, Amazon Review

“All three stories are awesome and heartwarming.”

— 5 Stars from Stardragon, Amazon Review

“This is a great world full of paranormal intrigue, along with werewolves living a pack life.”

https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3847

— 5 Stars from Andrea, Amazon Review

SHADE (COTTONMOUTH MC 2) by Jamie Targaet
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3858

— 5 Stars from Siobhan D, Barnes & Noble Review

THE SNOB (ROOSTERS) by Megan Slayer
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3850

“This is delightful and unexpected romance about Carley and Dacre. I enjoyed their story and the journey that lead them to more. it is a sweet blend of passion and emotions. People don’t see the real her, just what they want to believe. He sees her for who she is. This was a quick and fun read that had me glued.”

— 4 Stars from Mary, Goodreads Review

“This was a quick read that had me turning the pages. It was well written and I think it was great. Recommend!”

— 4 Stars from Mylene, Amazon Review

“The characters were very complex and compelling and complicated and perfectly steamy together. Plot was intriguing and intense and well paced. World building was solidly drawn and impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend!”

— 5 Stars from Itsthejo, Goodreads Review

“…full of drama, danger, romance and love.”

— 5 Stars from Stardragon, Amazon Review

“Carley’s growth throughout the story is one of my favorite parts. Watching her slowly lower her guard, take a chance, and believe that someone might care about her for who she is—not what she represents—was incredibly satisfying.”

— 5 Stars from BC Luna, Barnes & Noble Review

“…a masterclass in the “bodyguard romance” trope, blending high-stakes tension with a deeply emotional slow-burn. This is a must-read for fans of romantic suspense who love a hero who would burn the world down to keep his lead safe.”

— 5 Stars from Rane Sterling, Goodreads Review

TERRAS FIVE VOL. 1 by Anne Kane
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3853

“There’s something especially fun about getting two stories in one—especially when both deliver strong characters, undeniable chemistry, and a sci-fi world that keeps pulling you in. This collection featuring Her Cyborg Lover and Taming the Cyborg gives you exactly that: two romances that feel connected in tone, but unique in the way each relationship unfolds.”

— 5 Stars from bcLuna, Barnes & Noble Review

“I LOVE me some good space smut! It jumps straight in and gets to the plot which I appreciate, it was super easy to pick up/understand the setting… I just really really enjoyed this one, it’s a good time!”

— 4 Stars from Ash Casey, Goodreads Review

“…dual POV, well written, and fast-paced, steamy, romantic erotica pieces between a human female and a cyborg male, both active duty military. I enjoyed the cultural challenges and the way the characters worked to find balance. I enjoyed the steamy intimate scenes. I enjoyed the banter.”
