Praise for Some Place Like Home
“There was a level of trust that these men developed in one another that was actually really beautiful to read. I would consider this one a hurt/comfort/trust with a side of kink vibe that essentially turns into a really sweet love.”
— Goodreads review
“I liked how Daniel soothed him. The trust Carver developed was beautiful. BDSM played a huge role in Carver’s healing.”
— Goodreads review
“All the role scenes were beautiful....wonderfully written. I could see how Carver was soothed by their play.”
— Goodreads review
“This is the first book I have read by Gin Vane and I know it certainly will not be my last! Such an excellently written book, all the characters are so very well constructed that I could feel them.”
— Goodreads review
“Love love love this series and universe. Even though Carver and Daniel are the main characters here, you still see cameos of Everett and Colt from book 1 *swoooooon*”
— Goodreads review
“So much more than 5 stars! I didn't want this book to finish!”
— Goodreads review
“I read this without reading book 1 first, and it worked well. It was written well enough that any required background knowledge was shared without being overexplained.”
— Goodreads review
“Such an underrated series from a debut author. Everyone should give this series a chance! I can't say enough praises for the writing style and characters and plot. So good!”

Praise for From Bad to Worse
“I found myself very invested in our men. I shed tears and I cursed at them. It was a book I rarely put down until I was done.”
— Goodreads review
“If you like a page-turner mystery with intrigue and a compassionately told M/M romance, try this book.”
— Bookbub review
“Two men being so alike and stunted emotionally makes them coming together a hard earned victory.”
— Goodreads review
“If you like your books gritty with characters with depth then this is for you.”
— Goodreads review
“Southern poetic, fascinating and creative M/M romance. Beautiful writing and beautiful ending.”
—Bookbub review
“The way Vane chose to put this story together drove me crazy, but in a good way. Like, why are you torturing me like this but it doesn't matter I can't stop anyway, type of crazy.”
—Goodreads review
“The romance between Everett and Colt was so riveting and I enjoyed reading about them (so much so that I did a reread immediately after finishing--which also brought more clarity to the whole book).”
— Goodreads review
“I found myself living for their stolen moments together.”
— Goodreads review
“Chemistry that is to die for, a plot you want to not blink while reading. Can't wait for the next.”
