review 1: Sweet as all get out... and I mean SWEET. As far as romance goes, this one is almost perfect (too perfect some may say)... and I loved it. Steve is the classic "knight in shinning armor": flawless, strong and sensitive... and I loved that too. Chandler is a bit scared of his ne...

review 1: It started off strong but quickly went south. The first person narrator, Mallow came across as a fully developed, interesting character. Unfortunately his love interest, Crispin, was written so inconsistently that it was nearly impossible to connect to their love story. Crispen w...

review 1: I fell in love with Ben and Rafe. The story was so well fleshed out that there is nothing that I could find fault with. A thoroughly enjoyable read and I guarantee that it will not be my last time reading ZAM! As you can see I don't like to give away too much as we all seriou...

review 1: This book took me some time to read. I'd put it down then return to it, over and over again. Because even if sometimes I wanted to slap Jimmy for being so oblivious or just downright dumb, I still needed to know what happened to him. I needed to know if he found his way, figured ...

review 1: 4.5 StarsGreat little story, good characterisation! Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could all find our own St. Nacho’s: a place of acceptance, a place to heal the tired and world weary bones, a place to uncover love of yourself and for another…Yep it would be.Beyond that distinct par...

review 1: I found All Stirred Up to be an intriguing story at first. It had an almost slow pace in showing the start of the couple's relationship. Then after Dirk leaves, the story goes faster. The ending was too fast and too incomplete for me. I'd call it a HFN ending. The two haven't sai...

review 1: 2/5First time I've a) never finished a Maxfield novel and b) given one of her works less than 3/5. Why is that?Characterisation: flat. Sadly to say I can't find any other way of putting it. I found myself only reading and pressing on in order to hear and catch more glimpses of th...

review 1: 4/5A very good LGBT romance fiction by Z.A Maxfield.Hard hitting, often rather brutal as she confronts ingrained homophobia, and the damage it can reek on peoples lives. But also touches on romance, love and the impetus inside all decent people to seek out and do 'the right thing...

review 1: ok, what's not good here? there is too much plot convolution. there is some stuff i find hard to believe: would a paper specializing in outing gay men for the greater cause care whether a parody of a beloved classic is penned by a straight woman? i dunno -- i guess the lambda l...

review 1: The one shining star in this story is Cha-Cha. He deserved better. Here you have a character that is strong, sweet and sexy, and we pair he with a detached, self-centered character that I couldn't get into. There was good dialogue in this story, and the characters were likable en...

review 1: I don't think I've read a book by this author that I didn't like, until now. It's not that this is a bad book, it's just so not my cup of tea. If I needed any confirmation that I don't like BDSM, this book certainly provided it. The entire relationship between the main charact...

review 1: Ohhh, this is a good one. I don't know exactly why, but this one hit me just right.Maxfield is another writer who knows how to string words together, so I am predisposed to enjoy her work. In this one, she tells us about an out and proud high school senior, Caleb, who has been in...
