A five star review for Storms & Sacrifice, a book by Dominic N. Ashen, overlayed on an image of an old temple in a forest. The review reads: "I am really getting entwined with David and Khazan’s relationship. They just fit together so well. It has all the nuances of a true relationship and it makes both of them extremely relatable. The supporting characters are also great and so much to the story... There was plenty of intrigue and surprises. I like where this series is going and the ending of this book definitely caught me off guard."

A five-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "The Crown and the Collar." The review reads: "Dominic N. Ashen is fantastic in his fantasy world-building. I loved the characters, their growth during the story, the heat and plot twists... The side-character are lovely, and the banter was great. It plays in the same universe as Storm and Thunder. I can't wait for the next book. Maybe they'll come across an Orc ranger and his warrior partner?"

A five-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "Distance & Dragons." The review reads: " It’s hard to find a high fantasy/TTRPG based queer romance novel, let alone one that is written so good, with such enjoyable and well written characters, and with a story that is so fun to follow. The writing, its comprehension, the pacing. What can I say that isn’t 10’s across the board? I feel like anything I say can’t compare to how much I am enjoying this book, words can’t articulate how much I’ve enjoyed it so far."

I am eagerly awaiting future releases for the series."

A five-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "My Three Orc Dads," written by Gideon Hupp on Amazon. The review reads: "This little novella somehow manages to pack in so much kinky, steamy, passionate encounters while making me laugh all at the same time. I seriously couldn't put the book down for more than a few minutes. It's just so good! And poor David, he doesn't get a break, except for dinner. Not that he was really complaining by the end, though."

A five-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book Storms & Sacrifice, written by Ryan Jansen on Goodreads. The review reads: "If you're into romantacy and like pairings of different races (ie human and orc), this book is right up your alley... I don't really read/listen to a story more than once because I know there's so many other stories I haven't gotten to yet, but this series is so good, I've started to listen to it again. If you listen to the audio book, the narration is great, and doesn't take you out of the story."

A five-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "Distance & Dragons" from Akilah O on Goodreads. The review reads: "I need a million more moments with David and Khazak, every book I think I've been taken for a ride and the next manages to blow me even farther away. I read through this book in two days and the twists and turns left me elated, confused and frustrated. Not as much spice, but the plot more than made up for it."

Watching them grow, both personally and in their relationship, is always a highlight to me...

A f-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "Distance & Dragons." The review was written by Suzanne Irving on Goodreads and reads: "This series just keeps getting bigger and better and there is much more focus on the adventures and less on the “relations” that they have, although there is a kink club in the town (of course there is!). I do think it’s the first club like that that I have seen in a fantasy book. Ashen regularly includes bdsm in his books and I think he actually does a good job of working it into the stories."

A five star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "Distance & Dragons" written on Goodreads by la review bleu. The review reads: "Every book of this series is a 5 star read for me. I can't say it enough. It's definitely one of the best fantasy mm books out there!!! The character development is amazing, the plot and world-building chefs kiss! I loved, loved, loved this book. It focuses more on surviving, action, and fighting - I mean there are Dragons, and an undead army, which I absolutely loved! ... Khazak and David are just perfect."

A five star review for the book "Distance & Dragons" by Dominic Ashen, written by L H on Goodreads. The review reads: "I have been reading along with David and Khazak for several books and stories and find myself continuing to enjoy their journey. There is action and adventure and steam as always and the author is skillful at witing about an interesting collection of familiar and new characters. These stories are well written and the evolution of the main characters relationship makes me want to read more about them."

Ashen, showing an expanded image fo the book's cover and featuring the following text: "Khazak and David have been together for three months now, and seemingly nothing can keep them apart. Now that they've finally reached Manamequohi, they can start to find the answers they seek. Or at least that was the plan. Maname is a big city, filled with all sorts of magic—from its people to the items for sale. In other words, a tantalizing target for a mysterious necromancer. Separated by their circumstances, David and Khazak must fight their way back to each other, no matter the distance."
