I still couldn’t figure out what I felt about him, other than that I wanted. Usually wanting equated to killing, but that wasn’t right with him. The emotion didn’t fit, and the desire to satisfy that need wasn’t there. Which meant I wanted for another reason, and that had never happened before."
I really enjoyed Lee McCormick's previous MM dark romance books in the Beyond series and was really excited at the concept of their standalone serial killer/mortician dark romance Under Your Skin.
Under Your Skin had great potential and I enjoyed a lot of the book, but there were several plot holes that bothered me and the MCs weren't always consistent in their behaviours - which I guess you'd perhaps expect from a young mortician with horrific past trauma and a psychopath who kills because he can!

Painful Love is book 2 in the co-written Kings of Aces MM romance series by T. Ashleigh and Addison Beck, which is set in a small town, and focuses on a group of trailer park friends/gang/found family. This is Whaley and Bunky's story and it is way darker and grittier than Hateful Love, so consider yourself warned!
What to expect:
❥Dark themes ❥Age gap ❥Mine ❥Toxic ❥Hurt/comfort ❥Forbidden ❥Co-dependency ❥Blood play
I'm excited for book 3 now, Sinful Love, which I'm hoping will be Raid and Landon's story!...more
"I like you Lev, and I think I'm falling for you, or maybe I'm addicted to you? I know you don't do feelings, and this is probably your worst night"I like you Lev, and I think I'm falling for you, or maybe I'm addicted to you? I know you don't do feelings, and this is probably your worst nightmare, but after everything that's happened, and before we go down there, I wanted to tell you I'm yours. You can do want you want to me, and I will do anything that you ask. But to be clear, you are mine too, and I won't let go."
Well now. Kill For You is the second book in the Kozlov Brothers duet and this one is Lev and Aaron's story. We first met Lev in Tied To You, as Dima's psychotic brother. And oh, he is soooo much worse in this one!
If you have any kind of triggers, I'd suggest you don't even pick this book up, because it has them all. This is a dark MM romance, with blood-play, dub con, abuse, murder and a whole lot more. It is not for the faint-hearted. Please don't read it and then 1 star it because it's not for you. You have been warned!
BUT if you like your MM books dark, dirty, dangerous and delicious then you've come to the right place! Syn Blackrose is carving out (quite literally!) a dark and demented niche for herself in this genre and I am totally here for it! ...more

This tall muscular guy with deeply tanned skin, those intense eyes, a short and perfectly-shaped beard around the plumpest lips I have ever seen on a guy. He is danger personified; it radiates off him. He exudes arrogant confidence and everyone with a beating heart wants him or wants to be him."
Well now, what can I say about this amazing debut offering from new-to-me author Syn Blackrose?! For starters, Tied To You has all of the MM tropes you know and love.....and then some that you didn't even realise you'd been missing...
Tied To You is Seb and Dima's story and it's an absolute rollercoaster ride!
Dima Kozlov is the brooding, Russian criminal/mob boss into all things dark and dangerous, with his equally gorgeous but rather psychotic brother, Lev.
Sebastian (Seb) is basically on the bottom rung of the life ladder, all alone in the world (apart from his not-for-much-longer) fiancée Katie and with barely a dollar to his name, until he takes a job as a barman at the Kozlov brothers' club, Starlight. Which is where he catches the eye of Dima, and his life changes in every way possible....

Say My Name by Ashley James started life as a novella in the fabulous MM anthology Anti-Valentine and it was completely obvious the MCs needed their own full-length book. And voilà, Ashley James delivers!
Travis and Mateo are next level hot AF.
It's all here - forced proximity, cheating ex's hook-up, mild BDSM, "submit to me", "mine".
You are going to fall hard for these boys.
"With my grin wide, I bring my mouth right by his ear, feeling a shiver rack through him in the process. Keeping my voice low, I ask, “But what if I want to tell you what to do, baby?"
