Everyone is taking the opportunity to stretch their limbs before we get back on the road. Even Sona stretches out on the grass, enjoying the warm sun. My own waterskins are filled, and I hop back into the back of the cart to wait for the others. Then someone screams.

Happy Tuesday-Reviewsday! This one comes from la review bleu on Goodreads. I'm really happy to find that even five books, I've still got loyal fans hungry for more!

la review bleu's full review:
www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
A five star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "Distance & Dragons" written on Goodreads by la review bleu. The review reads: "Every book of this series is a 5 star read for me. I can't say it enough. It's definitely one of the best fantasy mm books out there!!! The character development is amazing, the plot and world-building chefs kiss! I loved, loved, loved this book. It focuses more on surviving, action, and fighting - I mean there are Dragons, and an undead army, which I absolutely loved! ... Khazak and David are just perfect."

“So that’s the guy you’ve all been chasing?” Onas asks about Redwish. “Small world.”

“Not small enough,” I grumble. “As much of a shock as it is, I’m not surprised someone like him would be connected to—”

Before I can say more, the red dome above us suddenly flickers out of existence.

A five star review for the book "Distance & Dragons" by Dominic Ashen, written by L H on Goodreads. The review reads: "I have been reading along with David and Khazak for several books and stories and find myself continuing to enjoy their journey. There is action and adventure and steam as always and the author is skillful at witing about an interesting collection of familiar and new characters. These stories are well written and the evolution of the main characters relationship makes me want to read more about them."

Nothing can keep Khazak & David separated... But that won't stop an evil necromancer and his army of the undead from trying. Forced apart, they will fight their way back to each other, no matter the distance.

Ashen, showing an expanded image fo the book's cover and featuring the following text: "Khazak and David have been together for three months now, and seemingly nothing can keep them apart. Now that they've finally reached Manamequohi, they can start to find the answers they seek. Or at least that was the plan. Maname is a big city, filled with all sorts of magic—from its people to the items for sale. In other words, a tantalizing target for a mysterious necromancer. Separated by their circumstances, David and Khazak must fight their way back to each other, no matter the distance."

I look behind me as I row, trying to find lights on the coast that will point me toward Lorana. Up ahead, a glowing green line sits on the surface of the water—the border of the city's security dome. As my boat passes through it, I’m bathed in the dome’s green glow, normally invisible on the inside.

“Over there!” I point ahead with a shout, already running toward someone in trouble.

I spot a man being backed into a wall by two assailants, one of them menacingly swinging a rope lasso above their head.

Today's review post is from Grey Orion on Goodreads!

They've got the right idea: Come for the smut, stay for the story! I'm glad that even for a newcomer to the series, everything was still understandable.

Grey's full review:
www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
A five star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "Service Duty," written by Grey Orion on Goodreads. The review reads: "This book was a 5/5 on the stars but a 7/5 on the spice scale! I have read any of the other books in this series which was confusing at first but the way it’s written I was easily able to pick up on the dynamics, world building and all the things I missed by not reading the series first. If you live for spice read this novella its back to back but with the perfect amount of story that it’s not overbearing!"

The Crown and the Collar

Living on a farm in the quiet town of Weston, Peter spent a lot of time daydreaming about a different life. So when Prince Makseka Blackwood, a werewolf, comes to town and sweeps him off his feet, how could he say no? But they say the prince's bite is worse than his bark...

The promo reads: "Peter grew up working on his family’s farm, but life in Weston can be a little boring at times. So imagine his surprise when the crown prince of Litkalaa sweeps him off his feet and makes him an offer he can’t refuse: wear his collar and become the next royal consort. Easy choice, right? Of course, that means moving into the castle and joining the royal werewolf pack. And they say the prince’s bite is worse than his bark..."
