MP Book Reviews on Instagram: "Review: Ornamental by E.M. Lindsey 5 of 5 stars Luke feels like the only one at Irons and Works still unlucky in love, convinced something about him must be unlovable. That changes when Tony introduces his older half‑brother — a single dad with Tourette Syndrome whose quiet intensity immediately focuses on Luke. Despite the age gap and their personal complications, the spark between them grows through practice dates, stargazing, and learning to trust, leading them toward a sweet, well‑earned happily ever after. This story is full of big, heartfelt emotions, and the connection between Luke and Raf is impossible to miss. Both men carry their own wounds, but Raf’s especially — losing so much because of his Tourette Syndrome — hit hard and added such depth to his journey. I found myself rooting for him from the moment he appeared. What made the book even more special was the way the Irons and Works chosen family immediately wrapped Raf in warmth and support. They didn’t just accept him; they gave him space, help, and belonging in all the ways he’d been denied before. Luke and Raf’s bond grows with tenderness, intensity, and a sense of inevitability, making their romance both moving and deeply satisfying. A beautiful, emotional read that left me smiling. This was an MM story with mature content. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09H1KBCYG" 0 likes, 0 comments - mp_book_reviews on April 4, 2026: "Review: Ornamental by E.M.

I was 8: I wrote an opening scene of a murderous man walking thru the fog of London. I read it from my notepad to my mother and she was transfixed. That’s when I knew I was a storyteller.

Ooooh do you know what makes me so angry?

People reading my pinned post.
Clicking the links.
Buying my queer book.

Just… awful behavior.

Please don’t support queer authors. I would HATE that.

MP Book Reviews on Instagram: "Review: To Touch the Light by E.M. Lindsey 4 of 5 stars Mario Garcia, a lonely, overworked head chef with no holiday spirit, has only one soft spot: Viktor Popov, the half‑blind Russian dishwasher hiding a mysterious past. Viktor once lived a life of privilege but now keeps to the shadows, hoping no one notices his failing eyesight or his secrets. When Mario pulls him out of the cold one night and shows him genuine care, both men begin to realise that, despite their hard lives, they might be exactly what the other needs — especially under the gentle glow of the menorah. This was a beautifully tender story built on a deep, undeniable connection between two men who both live outside what most people would call “normal.” What really stood out to me was the respect they showed each other from the very beginning — a quiet, steady recognition of the other’s worth, even when neither of them fully believed in their own. Their love and passion felt genuine and hard‑won, and I adored watching them slowly let themselves hope again. The emotional intimacy between them was wonderfully written, and it was easy to feel every moment of longing, fear, and warmth. I only wish we’d learned a bit more about Viktor’s past before he was forced to leave, especially something as simple as his surname. Still, their relationship was heartfelt and compelling, and I loved seeing them find exactly what they needed in each other.

MP Book Reviews on Instagram: "Review: Scarification by E.M. Lindsey 4 of 5 stars Miguel Ruiz believes his future is gone — he’s lost his dominant hand, his face is scarred, and he’s stuck working in a rundown club. Everything changes when a tattoo artist recognizes his talent and offers him a real chance to start over. Amit Baqri, bisexual, Deaf, and femme, has spent his life hiding parts of himself to survive within his conservative Muslim family while caring for his mother and sisters. Meeting Miguel — the scarred artist with a quiet strength — turns his world upside down. As their connection deepens, both men must confront the weight of their pasts and the expectations trapping them, hoping they can break free and build something real together. This was such a beautifully emotional story. Miguel and Amit’s connection is powerful from the start — two men carrying very different challenges, yet unable to resist the pull toward each other. Their chemistry feels both gentle and intense, and I loved how naturally their bond grew despite the weight of their pasts. The portrayal of their disabilities was especially well done: factual, respectful, and deeply human. It made their individual struggles — and their moments of joy — incredibly easy to feel and understand. I found myself emphasising so strongly with both of them, especially as they navigated family expectations, identity, and healing. I was genuinely thrilled to see everything work out not just for them, but for the people around them too. A heartfelt, moving read.
