Under My Skin
My rating: 8/10 They're hot, especially the seme. He's mature and a good guy who manages to really seduce the uke without raping him (I know this should be the given, but in BL ...). It's interesting seeing the uke realise his own sexuality. HOT SEME, OFFICE WORKER, MIXER An successful office worker who doesn't admit yo himself that he's gay meets a hot guy (seme) at a mixer. The seme approaches him but the uke rejects him. But after he takes the drunk uke to a hotel, things take a different turn.
Tomodachi Ijou no Koto, Shitai.
My rating: 7/10 It's interesting cuz the uke is actually the confident one even though the seme is the popular hottie. They know each other inside out but are unaware of the other's love. U get a mixed pov so u can see them both struggle with their love. FRIENDS TO LOVERS, ROOMMATES The uke and the seme are childhood friends who go to the same university and live together.

Bokura no Tsuzuki
My rating: 7/10 The uke is so tsundere he didn't speak with the seme for years. The seme on the other hand is cheerful and actively tries to get close, I like him. They're cute together and the romance is thie first love kind. SCHOOL LIFE, NEIGHBOURS After an incident back when they were little the seme and the uke haven't spoken. Now they go to the same high school but the uke still ignores him. But then the uke moves in with his grandmother who lives in the shopping district and is neighbours with the seme. So like that they get close again.
Soutai Flight Sign
My rating: 7/10 It's a nice read. The seme really is as tactful as a brick and so straightforward it hurts but I like him for it. The uke has some character development from a sleazy guy to a man who chases his dreams again bc of the seme.

Since then they fight all the time but then the company forces them to become roommates.
Aiou Futari
My rating: 8/10 This is adorable. It describes one's longing for a loving family and the support we can give each other just by being there.

But then they get closer as well.
Raion Gotoki no Kuni Kara
My rating: 8,7/10 This is pure cuteness, overflowing with fluff. They hit off right away and are both pretty open minded even though it's their first time with a guy. The seme is cheerful and the uke is cute, caring and able to take the leas as well. And they love animals.

The seme first mistakes him for a girl but even when he learns about his gender his interest remains.
Maid Under The Mistletoe
My rating: 6/10 It's really corny, especially the end. And I don't think a child would act like that. But nevertheless it's a cute story and the angle-like FL heals the ML's broken heart. I like that she isn't clingy. HOUSEKEEPER, CHILD Bc a billionaire's live-in maid goes on vacation for Christmas she hires a young mother to be her replacement. But the billionaire has lost his wife and his son 3 years ago and gets tormented by his memories.
The Billionaire's Baby Swap: A dreamy royal romance (The Montanari Marriages Book 1)
My rating: 2/10 I know some might like this but I really didn't enjoy the story. Too corny, too much praising what a blessing babies are, I just wanted it to end.

Months later the mistake comes to light and they try to swap then back but the babies don't want the change so they decide to spend time together until they properly bond with their children.
