I want to give this book 10 stars that’s how much I loved it. I’m a huge fan of E. M. Lindsey. I love a lot of authors, but E. M. Is right up close to the top of my list. It’s funny that I love her stories so much because I usually try to avoid too much angst. I know her books have a lot of angst, and this one is right up there. After I quit crying happy tears in the end I had to sit and think about it before writing a review.
As far as I know all of E. M.’s novels deal with people with disabilities. This book is no exception. Kane was abused by his ex lover who was hit by a truck after raping him. Soren had an abusive childhood followed by breaking his back so badly that he was left permanently damaged. In addition he has to deal with an ex husband who uses their son to punish him. It sounds daunting, but it was beautifully written. ...more

However, I am a big fan of T. J. Klune. I’ve been thinking about this book for some time and decided to finally read it. I’m so glad I did. This story is just delightful. I loved it from the first page. The children on the island kept me smiling and sometimes laughing out loud. I loved all the children especially Lucy. Who would think you could make the Antichrist adorable? Apparently T. J. Klune can and did. Highly recommended. ...more

I loved this story. I couldn’t believe how awful Hudson was in the beginning of the book. Even though I wanted to hit him I knew E. M. would have me loving him by the end of the story. I read Affogato some time ago so I was delighted to have a chance to visit with Caleb and his crew. ...more

Liam and Matthew have been enemies since their first meeting at 8 years old. All throughout elementary school and high school they took turns playing pranks on each other. Imagine their surprise when Matthew accidentally hires Liam to pretend to be his boyfriend for a week. These two hated each other so much it took an incredible author to make them fall in love with each other. Oh, and they do and it’s beautiful....more
This was a sweet low angst read. I enjoyed it,as I do most books by Aria Grace. I enjoy her Omegaverse stories the best, but this was a nice book. KylThis was a sweet low angst read. I enjoyed it,as I do most books by Aria Grace. I enjoy her Omegaverse stories the best, but this was a nice book. Kyle is in an abusive relationship and Jonathan and his mother come to his rescue. My only complaints are how quickly they went from Kyle not wanting to impose to declaring their love for each other just a few weeks later. And how quickly Kyle bounced from one relationship to another. ...more
2 and 1/2 stars. This really didn’t work for me. I didn’t care for Daniel. I didn’t think he was a very consistent Dom. He doesn’t want to get involve2 and 1/2 stars. This really didn’t work for me. I didn’t care for Daniel. I didn’t think he was a very consistent Dom. He doesn’t want to get involved with a student so he agrees to be his Dom but there is a no sex rule. I’m sorry, but dominating a student at your college and having him beat off and beating off on him is sex. ...more

Ellis and enjoyed most of them. This was a really sweet story. Leighton was the type of person you either love or hate. He’s unapologetically out and proud and I loved him. This was a very sweet low angst love story. My only complaint is that there is simply too much inner monologue. It was pretty much the same thing from both Jett and Leighton. They both constantly worry that they have fallen in love with the other one and it will not be reciprocated. That cost the story a star from me, but I still enjoyed it....more

There were several major problems I had with this book. The biggest was how repetitive it was. The second was the sex. If Ryland and Brendon weren’t having sex they were talking about or thinking about how much they cared for each other, but it was only for a week. I thought if they said that one more time I’d scream. I found this book buried in my kindle. I should have DNF....more

In fact, I thought I’d found a new must read author. Then the over the top and unnecessary drama with the biological father and I almost DNF. I would compare it to the break up at 80% that some authors use when they can’t seem to think of anything new.
I went ahead and rated this 4 stars because even with the drama can a really wonderful story. I loved Conner and Will. I also thought little Vicky was adorable. So if some unnecessary drama doesn’t bother you I recommend this book. I know I’m planning to read Jack’s story in the sequel....more

It was free and it was short, so there’s that. It was also strange and didn’t really make a lot of sense. I finished it, so it obviously kept my attention. I just never felt invested in either Nate or Vee. This is not the author for me, but others seem to love her work so I’m happy for that. ...more

I actually borrowed it by accident but decided to read it anyway because I’ve enjoyed Ava Olson’s books in the past. I love a big strong man like Lennie. Payton is certainly a fun character as well. I never had any desire to dress so provocatively, but I admire someone who does. My only complaint was it’s too short. ...more

Jamison is certainly one of my favorite writers. I love her characters, her stories, and the way she writes. To make this book even better she had Izzy Toma as narrator. He is my all time favorite male narrator.
The story is a fake boyfriends with Hunter being straight, but needing a way to keep the ladies of Granville at bay. Clark needs to keep his grandmother from setting him up on any more blind dates like the one with the mortician. Of course love ensues. It normally takes me more than a week with an audiobook because I prefer to read my kindle. I started this book yesterday morning in the gym and finished last night. I started the next book in the series today. ...more
