Review: Flirting with Disaster – Victoria Dahl

Review: Flirting with Disaster – Victoria Dahl

Sexy and hot, Flirting with Disaster has some great characters, mystery and a lot of romance. My Flirting with Disaster review: Flirting with Disaster incorporated everything I love in a contemporary romance novel! Dahl truly outdid herself with this story. The characters are mature, Isabelle is thirty-six years old, and Tom is a little older than her. Isabelle’s best friend Jill is lesbian, and it’s only mentioned because Jill and her girlfriend had recently broken up. Safe sex is very sexy in Flirting with Disaster, and that always makes me so very happy, condoms, are important and it is sexy to take good care of yourself and your partner! There is also mystery, Isabelle is living under an assumed name, […]

Review: More than Friends – Aria Grace

Review: More than Friends – Aria Grace

More than Friends is a short story, in which Ryan figures out he might like guys a lot more than he previously thought. My More than Friends review: More than Friends is quite well written, but I had a little trouble with Ryan’s complete turn-about that happened so quickly. At the beginning of the story, he’s a little sad because he and his girlfriend Brooke broke up, so he kind of hooks up with a girl in a bar, and comes with her to her cousin’s, Zach, place. He falls asleep on the coach, while she goes into a bedroom all alone. The next day, he is invited back to Zach’s for a party, and he is a little uneasy […]

Blogtour and Review: Outing the Quarterback – Tara Lain

Blogtour and Review: Outing the Quarterback – Tara Lain

Welcome to my stop on the Outing the Quarteback blogtour! This tour is hosted by Enchantress of Books Blogtours, and you can find the other tour-stops by clicking on the image above. My first reaction after reading this amazing story was just WOW, oh my goodness! Tara Lain has totally outdone herself – I loved Will and Noah, and Jamal and Eve were great characters, too. My Outing the Quarterback review: Secrecy, hurt and heartache are very much present in Outing the Quarterback. Will wants to be able to keep it together for just one more year until he finishes high-school, then he’ll go off and live his own dreams rather than his dad’s. Being the star quarterback, and dating […]

Review: Stripped Away – Ellis Carrington

Review: Stripped Away – Ellis Carrington

*I received a free ARC of Stripped Away from Ellis Carrington via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Stripped Away is hot, complicated and heartbreaking! Dave has a hard time dealing with his father’s passing away, especially because the late pastor has shown his true colors of womanizing, embezzling and having a secret family known only after his death. My Stripped Away review: Stripped Away is an amazing story about Dave, how he’s dealing with his dad’s death, and meeting his brother Greg for the first time at the funeral. Stripped Clean, the first book in this series is about Greg, and he as well as the readers already knew about Dave, and how the pastor had lead a double […]

Review: No Boundaries – Donna K Ford

Review: No Boundaries – Donna K Ford

*I received a free ARC of No Boundaries from Bold Strokes Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* No Boundaries is a sweet, tender contemporary suspense romance, sharing the budding relationship between Gwen and Andi. My No Boundaries review: While I really enjoyed the characters in No Boundaries, the story was so slow paced it felt like double the pages that were actually there. The story itself is quite good, but it took a long time for Gwen and me to figure out what had really happened to Andi. And while I can understand that Andi was hiding behind a wall o f indifference to protect herself, and also those she loved, I felt like it was a […]

Review: Stranger on the Shore – Josh Lanyon

Review: Stranger on the Shore – Josh Lanyon

*I received a free ARC of Stranger on the Shore from Carina Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* My Stranger on the Shore Review: Stranger on the Shore is a mystery m/m book, in which Griff wants to write a book about a young boy, heir to a fortune, who was kidnapped twenty years ago. A reporter for a small paper, covering crime, Griff has done his homework, but he’s not feeling so good when he arrives in front of the Arlington mansion on Long Island.

Sidekick Showcase #38 – LGBT Rainbow

Sidekick Showcase #38 – LGBT Rainbow

Sidekick Showcase, previously known as Sidekick Saturday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Jaclyn at JC’s Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn’t have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! I will post my Sidekicks on Saturday, and so will Jaclyn, then whichever day during the week that you would like to post yours, you can put your link in on Jaclyn’s page. Just do the following: • Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to […]
