5 hearts from MM Good Book Reviews for A Wedding to Die For

December 19, 2014

Lisa, writing at MM Good Book Reviews, gives A Wedding to Die For 5 hearts. I really appreciate how she steps outside the genres she normally reads to give our troopers a chance to capture her imagination!

I can guarantee that if you read this story you will be captivated. I know that once I start reading I can’t stop until I get to the end. Xavier’s books are probably the only mystery and suspense stories that I read, and they are the reason I might check out others. Wonderful story lines and plots, gorgeous characters, lots of heart and soul added in and some very hot sex.

Thanks for the great review, Lisa!

A Wedding to Die For is available in paperback and e-book.

Release day review of A Wedding to Die For at LoveBytes: 4 Stars

December 17, 2014

Rhonda at Love Bytes is first out of the gate with a review of A Wedding to Die For, and it’s a great one! Here’s a snippet:

This book runs you through a gamut of emotions. I was angry, laughing, shocked and astonished at the ins and outs of the plot, by a major character loss and by what happened at the hospital and how the authorities handled the situation. I can say I was so angry I wanted to write a letter to my senator and complain about how same sex couples are treated when they are faced with a loved one being injured and not being allowed to be with them to comfort them. This full length novel is going in my permanent library and I will be reading it again.

Thanks, Rhonda!

GayListBookReviews puts Wrestling Demons on the A List

November 5, 2014

WrestlingDemons_FBThumb

Nina at GayListBookReviews gives Wrestling Demons a wonderful write-up. I always love seeing what people have to say about the Brandt & Donnelly Capers, mainly because this is the first time I’ve written a series and I hope I’m doing it right! Imagine how much Nina’s closing words meant to me:

I can only hope that Brandt and Donnelly will continue to give us awesome cases and loving romance for many books to come. I would love to be able to see more of Jonah and Casey as well, and of course Bryce and Nestor. I so enjoy this world and all of the people that I have met here. It is a sweet, charming, romantic, loving, emotional, insightful and funny time every time I come here. I think it is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to visit.

The entire review is available here–it’s a great read.

Nina, your review has made me a very happy man! Thank you so much.

Alex Akira finds Wrestling Demons “Sparkling, Spunky & Sweet!”

June 30, 2014

WrestlingDemons_FBThumb

Alex Akira has reviewed Wrestling Demons for Rainbow Book Reviews, and I love the way this review gets underway:

Xavier Mayne’s unusual but captivating style of camp, raunch, and sweetness beautifully captures this “outed before ready” tale of two best friends who are, as the title suggests—wrestling demons.

I don’t think I’ve come across a phrase in a review that I’ve loved more than “camp, raunch, and sweetness.” I think I’ll have that cross-stitched and hung above my desk! Alex’s review is lovely throughout, of course, and it ends just as beautifully, with

something else that Xavier Mayne’s writing imparts—at the end of a marvelous, stuff-of-dreams journey filled with tenderness, comedy, sweetness, and heat—I was left with ‘hope.’

Thank you, Alex, for the wonderful review.

Smitten with Reading: Wrestling Demons “had tears rolling down my face”

June 18, 2014

WrestlingDemons_FBThumb

Christi Snow, writing at Smitten with Reading, has reviewed Wrestling Demons and given it a B (not sure how Casey and Jonah would feel about getting a B in sexytimes, but these things are subjective…). Christi really nails one of the things that I really tried to accomplish in the book, and I’m delighted that she put it into such sharp focus in her review:

This was a book much like the first in the series…it’s a gay-for-you story. There were some beautifully written scenes about sexuality and how everyone is just as they are…there’s no deciding to feel one way or other about someone. It just is. Literally, there is a scene with a bookstore clerk and what he says about being gay, or straight, or anything in between had tears rolling down my face…just beautifully spoken and such an incredible “moral to the story” about sexuality in this book.

Thanks, Christi, for your thoughtful and beautifully written review.

4.5 hearts from MM Good Book Reviews for Frat House Troopers

June 16, 2014

FratHouseTroopers_FBThumbLisa at MM Good Book Reviews has given Frat House Troopers a 4-and-a-half heart rating in her recent review. I love that Lisa enjoyed the humor in the book: “This is one book that will make you laugh your ass off.” She hits on the plot points she’s most interested in, and then wraps up with this:

I am amazed with the way this story is told. It has its serious parts to it, but it has more humor than most mysteries have. I was quite pleased by it. I would love to get my hands on the next book in this series. It has already shown promise.

Thanks, Lisa! And you’ll be happy to know that Wrestling Demons, the second caper in the series, is already available, while the third (A Wedding to Die For) is on the way.
