LET THERE BE LIGHT BY A.M. JOHNSON: AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

Image
  SUMMARY His world was water and rhythm. Hard work and drive kept Royal O'Connell one step ahead of his competition. His spot on the swim team, keeping his scholarship, was the only plan that mattered.   His world was ebony and ivory. Natural talent and ambition set Camden Morgan apart from the other music majors. His dedication scored him a full ride.   Normally, their paths would have never crossed...but when Royal meets his best friend's new roommate, his big plan and Camden's controlled environment faces a variable that could destroy it all: attraction.   The world they live in had no room for error. That undeniable pull between them was dangerous, and neither one of them could've prepared for the choice they'd have to make.   Love isn't always an easy road, and when everything they've worked for is on the line, they'll have to decide if being together is worth the risk.   REVIEW This was a sweet opposites attract, low angst, c...

Image

In the blink of an eye, a simple game plan forms in the young scholar’s mind.    Pulling over, the student offers the sexy older man a ride…with conditions.   Mike accepts the conditional offer from the very handsome and arrogant rich boy. The deal was a simple one…at first. REVIEW   This was a quick steamy read, which I ended up finishing in a single sitting. I was expecting this to be a one shot, sexy erotica, but this is so much more. The characters are real, relatable and well fleshed out. Daniel wants to explore his carnal desires with another man, and Mike provides him the perfect opportunity. Mike is a family man, who didn't expect a simple deal to go that far. But Daniel is sinfully domimating and is willing to pull all the stops to make sure Mike complies. As the characters explore their themselves and their need...

PRETTY THINGS BY CHARA CROFT : BOOK REVIEW

Image
SUMMARY BODHI: I like to wear pretty things, but I hate that they cost me my brother. My twin. My other half. I hate HIM. Kai. I hate him so hard. And I especially hate the way he mocks me by leaving me presents, like the one I find waiting for me on our eighteenth birthday and can’t resist trying on... KAI: When our parents split up, the only way I could protect Bodhi from our dad’s fucked-up attitude about all the pretty things he likes was to temporarily cut him out of my life. It killed me to do it, but it would have hurt more to let him hear the things Dad said about him. But now it’s finally time to get my brother back. I’ve been planning it for years, but there was no way I could have planned for how I'd feel when I walked in on Bodhi all dressed up in the lingerie I’d given him. I just wanted to be with my twin again, but now I want so much more. I want to make him my girl. I want to love him the way a brother shouldn’t. And I never, ever want to let him go.  REVIEW This wa...

UNDERCOVER BY ELIOT GRAYSON : AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

Image
  SUMMARY   Gabe wants Alec between the sheets...too bad Alec's undercover already.... Rich kid. Party boy. Gabe is tired of the labels. He's a smart guy, but ever since he got kicked out of grad school, people are only interested in his no-limit credit card and his pierced ears...and other places. Tall, dark, and scowling Alec hates Vermont, with its artisanal-freaking-everything and its irritating people. To be fair, most people irritate Alec, including the FBI director who sent him here to investigate a smuggling scheme involving yoga mats. When one of the cutest twinks Alec's ever seen takes an interest, Alec knows there's an ulterior motive. No one with multi-colored hair, piercings, and an ass like that would want boring, serious Alec. The kid must be up to no good. Either way, Alec can't blow his cover. If only he could keep his hands off of Gabe long enough to find out what he's up to.... Can they ignore their explosive chemistry long enough to foil a sm...

Bad Habits Wages of Sin, Book 1: Audiobook Review

Image
  SUMMARY   Jonah taught Cas a million ways to protect his body, but not one to protect his heart. Smart-mouthed hacker Caspian escaped an abusive home at 16. Now he's one of the most sought-after black-hat hackers in the world. Jonah is a ruthless contract killer with only one weakness: the vibrant runaway he took in years ago, Caspian. But Cas bailed when he turned 18, and Jonah has maintained a steady diet of eat, kill, sleep since then. A threat to Cas' life brings him back years later - not as the boy Jonah remembers, but as a hardened computer hacker with a price on his head and a list of names everybody wants. The chemistry between them is as undeniable as it is dangerous.  In a world of secrets and murder, trust is a liability and feelings can get you killed. But Jonah let Cas go once, and he's not willing to do it again.

SOLD FOR THE NIGHT BY M.D GREGORY & KI BRIGHTLY : BOOK REVIEW

Image
SUMMARY  He is a predator, and I am his prey . . . .  Prey: The Rabbit Mark Fenton, assistant to the mayor, never regretted opening his mouth more than he did when he insulted Madam Winters’ establishment, the Courtesan Hotel. Now he’s being sold off for a night in the summer auction. It’s small comfort that part of the proceeds benefit charity. The man who buys Mark’s time, Camden, is wild and unruly. He’s not Mark’s type, from his giant body to his rough nature, but the more time Mark spends with Camden, the more he finds himself having fun. Predator: The Wolf Camden Wolf knows what he likes—redheads who want to be pursued—and Mark appears to be exactly that. When Madam Winters tells Camden about the feisty man she has ready for the auction block, he can’t resist putting a claim on Mark. Chasing him has Camden’s inner primal nature excited, and he can’t get enough of Mark. But as much as they are having fun, Mark is skittish. Attack and Capture Mark fits into Camden’s life l...

HEART OF THE HOLIDAYS BY PAT HENSHAW: BOOK REVIEW

Image
  BLURB  Everyone hopes his road to happily ever after will be carefree and smooth, but too often hair-pin turns and detours seem to get in the way.   Having thought he was on the road to forever before, former Silicon Valley programmer Dan Lassiter is leery about pedaling down it again.

THE WICKED STEPBROTHER & OTHER STORIES BY WARREN ROCHELLE : BOOK REVIEW

Image
BLURB Fairy tales. Prince Charming fights evil, wins the princess, lives happily ever after. Three sons, three wishes, witches, dragons, a quest, and happily ever after. These stories are part of our cultural fabric. The stories change in retellings to reflect contemporary culture, such as Princess Charming, or heroes and heroines as people of color. In this collection, queer characters take center stage in stories that grew out of questions: What if the prince falls in love with Cinderella's gay stepbrother? What if Rumpelstiltskin doesn't really want the Queen's child but rather the King himself? What if Beauty and the Beast are two men? These stories explore metaphors of magic and the magical, this time, with a gay perspective. What price must be paid for happily ever after? Duty or love? Is love worth great sacrifice? Once upon a time . REVIEW  I absolutely adored this brilliant collection of diverse fairytale retellings put together. These retellings are dark, realisti...

Image
BLURB  Brian  You’ll make it out of here, Brian. I swear.  I had everything—school quarterback, popular with girls, and my dad was proud of me. I told myself it didn’t matter no one knew the real me. And then I nearly died. Landon saved my life. He’s the bravest guy I know. He came out a few years ago, proud and fierce, and he ran into gunfire to help others. Me, I’m a mess. Can’t even stand to be in a room with the curtains open. But here’s the thing about losing it all: You get a chance to start over and be someone new.
