Marked by Fire by Mia West

Rating: WARTY!

"In medieval England," Um, Arthur was Welsh.... "Arthur is hopelessly drawn to his older brother’s shieldmate, Bedwyr." Bedwyr? BEDwyr? Seriously? "But after Arthur’s recklessness leads to a battle injury that might end Bedwyr’s warrior days, the two men discover an unexpected passion." Unexpected by everyone except the reader this blurb is aimed at, apparently. Yawn. Mia West appears to be obsessed with turning the entire Round Table into a gay club, which means all of her stories are essentially the same. Now, maybe one or two of those guys were actually gay (assuming any of them actually existed), but all of them? Seriously?

Tempted by Ruin by Mia West

Rating: WARTY!

The title alone is enough to make this a non-starter. Why not just call it 'Restless Knights'? Or 'Sheath Your Sword'? "While on an unexpected mission, Gawain, one of King Arthur's warriors, is joined by none other than Palahmed - the mercenary he has long desired." Can you say "Brokeback Mountain"? Or someone's mounting, anyway. And Palahmed? Is that some sort of a muscle relaxing medication?! Just no. If you're going to wrote a serious LGBTQIA sotry, then go for it, but this has to be a joke.
