Warm Heart by Amy Lane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Soft and fluffy and heartwarming. It was pure Amy Lane.

Tevyn Moore is a world champion snowboarder and Mallory Armstrong is his finance backer, but really, there's more to their relationship than that. Even though Tevyn finds his way into a different bed each night, Mal is always there.

Tevyn's grandmother is dying and he's got to get to Colorado to see her one last time. When Tev and Mal get into a helicopter with Damien, things get rough in the snowy mountains and their copter crashes into the trees.

Now, for the three of them, it's all about survival. Damie's injured and both Tev and Mal lean on each other to figure out a way through this to survive. And quite possibly to start living a life they'd been pretending didn't exist.

After reading this inspiring story, I will say that if I was ever trapped on a mountain I'd want Tevyn and Amy Lane with me. I literally wouldn't have known half of what they came up with for survival. And the tenderness between the characters as they each tried to save the others... it was beautifully written.

With this story, nothing was vague. The words were clear and heart felt. The dialogue was proud and poignant. Hearts sat on the knitted sleeves of colorful sweaters, to be seen and felt throughout the story. I loved it. It's one I will definitely read again and I'm hoping the next book in the series is Damie and Preston!!

Ramen Assassin by Rhys Ford
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I always enjoy a fast paced suspense with lots of action and a side of romance.

Trey Bishop was a former child actor from a very affluent home. Both his mother and father were married to each other, but had other relationships and he had older siblings that looked down on him because of former wild child days. But he's turned a new leaf and is sober. Unfortunately, when he sees a couple of guys hauling a dead body to a van he's caught in the middle of a shootout, then caught up in a tangled web of lies and deceit.

Kuro Jenkins owns a ramen restaurant in K-town since retiring as an assassin. He's happy to be serving others and takes his new job seriously. But he's forced out of retirement when Trey is almost gunned down in the alley behind his place. Bringing his friends and allies into the drama, he's got to rely on them to keep Trey safe.

I really enjoyed the start of this story. There was a lot of great world building and description and the action started immediately. I was completely drawn in.

I really enjoyed the friendship and trust that blossomed between Kuro and Trey and how much open communication they had in their relationship. It felt genuine and organic and I loved their dialogue.

As much as I loved the suspense, it all sort of went off the rails for me by the end with the suspect list. I also ended up only really liking a handful of players in the book. The rest of the supporting characters were just not very likeable at all.

The writing was engaging and quick and the story was original. I enjoyed the read, just wished for a bit more from Trey's family in the end.

String Boys by Amy Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars

I loved this and I hated this. I loved it because it was pure Amy Lane. The words just flowed and the love was beautiful and raw and elegant and real. I hated it because it was heartbreak after heartbreak. But I hated it in the best way, I guess.

This is the story of two boys who meet as children, realize they love each other, then spend the next decade apart, trying to find their way back.

My heart was in a vice the entire time. When I finally made it to the end, it felt like I'd run a marathon. This is one of those books that will stay with you for a very long time. There was so much hate, but so much love that counterbalanced it woven through the entire story.

For a bonus, there were a couple of cameo's towards the end from Amy Lane's other works that put a freaking huge smile on my face.

Overall, this was a wonderfully painful read. I cherished it, wanted to throw it, choked up while reading, but mostly fell in love.

The Color of Summer by Anna Martin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Overall, the story had a good cast of characters, likable MC's and some fun times, but I just felt like it was lacking along the way in plot.

When Max Marshall decides to move back home to his semi-small town, he runs into his best friend's older brother, Tyler Reed. Things between them heat up a bit, but there are some bumps along the way before they can have any sort of HEA.

First of all, a tattoo artist is one of my overall favorite kind of character, so I will admit that I loved Max's job. He was a really nice, fun loving guy who got along well with kids and was super supportive. It felt strange to me, though, that he was a such a strong force in his business life, but his personal life he was so wishy-washy. It didn't really fit with his character in my opinion.

Tyler had a hang up about being gay. In the beginning he said he wasn't. Then he was. Then he was okay with talking about it, but didn't want to be seen. Then he could lose his job. It didn't flow well, to me, and then all of a sudden it was just never brought up again.

I really enjoyed so many parts of this story, but they just didn't seem to come together well enough for me to have been super excited about the characters and their outcome.

Fire and Agate by Andrew Grey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really, really enjoyed listening to this book. It was interesting and sweet and very well done.

Pavle had dreams of coming to the United States to get away from Serbia and find a better life. Instead, he got caught up in a sex trafficking ring and spent 4 years in hell. He managed to escape and is in protective custody, but he won't be safe until his captor is caught.

Chris is a deputy officer and is asked to take on the role of protector of Pavle. He's brought to his home where he is terrified of everything and can barely communicate. But, in finding ways to include Pavle in various chores and activities, he gets to know the man that he really is. They were the perfect blend of hesitant and innocent and it was fun to hear their relationship progress.

I found the story to be well written, engaging and full of heart. Greg Tremblay presented a wide array of talent in his performance. I was impressed with his version of Pavle with his broken English and the grief and hope in his voice. Chris was both very sweet and protective and came across as an overall nice guy who was compassionate and loving.

I would absolutely recommend taking the time to enjoy this audio experience.

Larry Boots, Exterminator by John Inman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This wacky romance between a bow-tie wearing nerd and a hitman just really did it for me. The characters together just swept me up in their story and I had a great time enjoying their banter and wit.

Larry Boots is no stranger to tragedy. With his twin brother murdered, he vowed revenge and has taken to a life of payback for sins committed by the worst of society that have skirted the law.

During an afternoon of surveillance he meets Ken, a very sweet, docile, dorky blind man with a heart of gold and hair to match. It doesn't take long for them to become close, but at some point Larry will have to tell him how he makes a living. And hope it doesn't scare him off.

Honestly, this was so easy to read and easy to love. It was fun and fresh and the MC's had charisma and heat in spades. Larry was a lovable crusader of evil and Kenny was impossible to not fall for. His sweet vulnerability was touching and made the story soft around the edges.

I absolutely recommend this read and give it a solid 4.5 stars.

The Little Things by Jay Northcote
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had read this in ebook format a while ago and while I enjoyed it back then, I have to say... I really enjoyed hearing it in audio.

Starting with the story, it's just so sweet about Joel's journey through a really rough time in his life. He's a single dad to his 3 year old daughter Evie. He's dealing with loss, coming to terms with fatherhood, and feeling his way through his emotions and what he wants for Evie.

While there was romance, the story centered more on Joel just living through the every day minutiae and coming out a good father and brother. His love interest, Liam, was introduced halfway through the story and was merely a supportive role in his quest to find his happiness. It was well written, very descriptive and enjoyable.

The narration by Matthew Lloyd Davies was, in a word, soothing. His mellow voice really added character to Joel and I thought his little Evie voice was spot on. With the tone set as smooth from the start, it was easy to keep up pace and the chapters flowed nicely. In my opinion, the narration added to the overall experience and I enjoyed listening immensely.

Torn by Rick R. Reed
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The thought of having to pick between two vastly different, both perfect loves gives me anxiety. Fortunately, by the time I reached the end of this story, I was happy with the 'choice' as well as the ending.

The first section of this book follows Ricky as he plods across Brighton with his best friend, partying and sleeping with every bloke he makes eye contact with. It's set in 1995 where you were more concerned with getting off, not as much with what you'd end up catching. And there was some of that as well.

So our Ricky keeps running into Walt, who's hot and fun and studious. They get on well and decide that they want to see where it goes. After trading addresses and phone numbers, Walt walks away and Ricky lets him go...sadly.

Back at home in Chicago, Ricky meets Tom. He's everything that Walt isn't, but they just seem to fit. After spending weeks together, Walt calls and pops the bubble around him and Tom.

As much as I would love to go on there is no way I'm spoiling this read for you. You have to read it yourself to find the treasure at the end, but it was well worth the read. Rick R. Reed knows how to spin a story and give just enough information to hook you in. The specifics of each relationship unraveled at their own pace, giving way to understanding by the reader as you go.

I felt this was well done and a charming tale of a few months of Ricky's life in which he hoped to find Mr. Right and ended up with some options for the position as well as a few tough decisions.

Effortlessly fun and charming, I really enjoyed this story.

The Doctor's Date by Heidi Cullinan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This series is turning making me mushy!!! I loved this addition.

Erin is the HR director at the Copper Point medical center and is known for being his father's pawn, but also for being the antagonist in Owen's life. In the previous book, Erin let his true honor out when he removed the ban against interoffice dating, but he never got the opportunity to explain HIS reasons.

When the committee sets up a bachelor auction, Erin schemes to finally have a chance at Owen. But his dad has other plans. This leads to a mystery to solve and some deep dives into both Erin and Owen's pasts. Ghosts come out to play and it's both haunting and healing.

As much as I enjoyed The Doctor's Secret, this was more my style. There was more mystery and romance than politics and it had a sweet young love vibe. I'm a sucker for a good enemies to lovers as well as hurt/comfort and this perfectly satisfied both as well as the added bonus of a first time.

Heidi Cullinan's quality of writing holds your attention from the start and the effortless way the characters fit together is inspiring. I loved the glimpse into their lives, their pasts and their healing. This was a really solid story filled with wonderful characters and a perfect nod to Scooby Doo mystery. Very much recommended.

Promises by Marie Sexton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I've heard so many wonderful things about this book so I was super excited to have a chance to read it for the first time as the second edition is set to come out.

I loved so many things about this story. The relationship that started as a simple test drive that created a strong bond of friendship between Jared and Matt, then ended in so much more was honestly so inspiring to read. I loved the turmoil that went through each of them at different times while they were together. And then when everything finally clicked, it was so worth the wait.

Stories like this remind us that no one is perfect. No one has all the answers. There are always going to be people who don't agree with you or don't approve of what you do. But you have to live your life for you and what makes you happy. This was a great reminder of that. I loved the way they loved each other.

I had wished for a bit more of a neatly wrapped ending, but there was an HEA regardless. It was a sweet, emotional and delightful read with a short prequel in addition.

A Cordial Agreement by Ryan Loveless
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars

This book is somewhat difficult to rate/review because it doesn't exactly follow any rules and basically flips the BDSM trope of dark and sexy on its head.

Grant Jessup is the billionaire mogul and head of a family business and all of the stress associated with it. But what's really giving him heart trouble is his son, Bennett. His constant partying and rash behavior has him making the headlines more often that not. Looking for a way to relieve some stress he decides he needs a 'whipping boy'.

Jim Sieber is a stripper and Ace. His roommate/best friend went through some rough times and he bears the guilt that it rendered. When he's offered a load of money to be whipped on a weekly basis, therefore assuaging his guilt, he's all in. And he's received a promise that it's not and never will be sexual. But then promises are broken all of the time...

The whole premise of the stripper, whipping, BDSM club was a little confusing to me as both parties agreed that this would be purely physical, not sexual at all. It was stress relief for one, punishment for the other. I've never read a situation in which this has unfolded this way, so it caught my interest. With the aftercare involved in D/s relationships, I feel like there's always going to be some level of intimacy, and it eventually plays out this way.

The feelings that took place and the dual understanding was hard for me to get excited about. I wish more had been explained regarding Jim and his asexuality. I'm not sure what either one was receiving from the other, just that they planned to make it work.

Overall, the story moved along well and kept me interested. I enjoyed the banter and quick assertiveness of both Jim and Grant and how well they settled and discussed their disagreements. It was definitely an interesting spin and kept my attention through to the HFN.

Coming Up for Air by Amanda Meuwissen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book totally made me happy dance!!

It was sentimentally romantic. Romantically sentimental? It was super sweet and cute and there were mermaid tails and mobsters and cops and robbers and learning sign language to ask out a crush and monsters with claws. In short, it was perfect.

When Leigh is fitted with concrete boots and thrown into the water, he's pretty sure it's over. Then he sees a man swimming towards him, then kiss him. And then he's laying on solid ground again. And now he's got a merfolk named Tolly who has legs and/or a tail. And he's his. To own and to have forever and ever. At least, if the mob doesn't kill Leigh first. Or the spell isn't broken that will take Tolly's legs away forever.

I'm seriously so hyped on this story. I am amazed and astounded and aflutter at how much this moved me to feel. I fell in love with Tolly instantly, then with Leigh about 2 minutes later. I never once questioned the story. I never once questioned their feelings. It was all there, laid out, plain as day in words and dialogue and gestures and glances and sighs.

I loved Alvin. He's the best friend/mob boss son/brother from another mother to Leigh. He was so damn sweet and funny and awed by everything.

There was humor and action and suspense and explosions and sex. There was fun dialogue...

"I'll bring the forks. Do you know what a fork--"

"Yes. I am not the little mermaid."

This was like nothing I've read before and I just want to read it again for the first time. Magical and whimsical and an utter delight.

Burden by K.C. Wells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sweet and soulful. The pairing of these two MC's was inspired.

Randy is a Vice cop who spent over a year undercover working a sex trafficking club. He's lived his life straight as an arrow, but when he spends his days watching Jesse, he's wondering if maybe he's not a straight as he thought.

When Jesse had to testify against Richards, his secret was out. His parents learned that he was earning money for school as a rent boy and cut him off completely. Now, he's got no choice. He needs money for rent and he's had to quit school. But he can't stop lusting after Randy. Straight Randy.

I loved that Randy had his neighbor Owen, the psychologist, in his corner. He worked out so many doubts and was able to truly put himself out there. He was such a great, giving and loving character.

The story just really flowed, with minimal angst and maximum romance. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and can't wait for the next in the series. If you want a sweet, sexy, GFY romance, look no further than Burden.

The Doctor's Secret by Heidi Cullinan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely story of two professional men trying to have a relationship in a small town.

Dr. Hong-Wei Wu left Houston, Texas to transition into a position as a general surgeon in a small town in Minnesota. He left behind his family, shying away from the guilt that manifest at letting them down. He was going to start fresh, make something of himself, and finally get his father's approval. But things didn't really go according to plan from the minute he gets off the plane.

Simon Lane, an OR nurse, has no plans to ever leave Copper Point. He's lived there his entire life and his friends stayed and took positions at the local hospital to be with him. Nothing could take that away.... except the new addition.

The hospital hierarchy is a bit muddled. To say the least. The board runs the show. Or does the CEO run the show? Or are they related? Yes, to all. When news of inter-hospital romance will result in the loss of a job, the staff is ever watchful. So, starting something new is a very bad idea.

The flow of the story was perfect. I loved how the relationship grew organically and how so many friends helped hide their affair. It was slow and sweet and wonderful. The supporting characters in this story were so fun and invested.

I think my favorite character was Hong-Wei. He was just so free, yet caged. His burden was heavy, being in the spotlight and new. His family was always on his mind, yet he just wanted Simon so badly. I really felt the need in the writing and he was so sweet and tender.

Awesome story, great feelings, a bit high on the politics for my taste, but I'd recommend the read.

Borrowed Heart by Andrew Grey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love a book that features main characters that have known each other a while and something changes where they finally see the other. This was so good I couldn't stop reading.

Robin was born with a bad heart. A lifetime of surgeries and a transplant later, he's a tour guide for a small gay tourist company in Germany. After being left by Mason, his ex, five years into the relationship, he's destined to be alone. And since he figures he doesn't have much time left, he's resigned himself to that fate.

Johan takes chances. He likes to live and be happy. As the driver of the tour bus, he's watched Robin and knows he's holding himself back, but he doesn't understand his motives. So, he makes his interest known on this special tour and hopes to change both their lives for the better.

I loved Johan's lust for life. He was just so present in everything he did. All of his actions were thought out and caring. Robin was more sweet and somewhat innocent. He was the type of guy who could read a situation and add fun or reduce drama in an instant. They were a perfect match.

Their story was sweet. The romance took off, and while most of the intimate scenes were off page, Andrew Grey's writing left you with an obvious feeling of the growth of their love and relationship. It all flowed very well and was low on angst. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire story.

A Model Escort by Amanda Meuwissen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was so much better than a Pretty Woman story or a fake boyfriend trope, even though it had a bit of both in it. There was so much more to this, though. It was smart. It was thoughtful. It was exciting.

Owen left a tumultuous relationship, his home, his friends, and his family to start over in another town. He was on his own for the first time and afraid of being lonely. After being given a business card for an escort service, he made the call. He didn't want a boyfriend. Or sex. He just wanted someone.

Cal was high end. He picked who he wanted to spend his time with and he chose how much he gave of himself to his clients. When he picked up Owen on his calendar he wasn't expecting the innocent, cheeky, smart man who was broken and alone. And he didn't expect to want to be the guy who put him back together.

So much went into this little story. Age gap, hurt/comfort, friends to lovers. It was a pleasure to read and get to know Owen and Cal. They were both so very independent and smart, giving and loyal. These were the kind of characters you'd like to meet IRL.

The story was sweet, the romance was slow and satisfying. I had wished for a bit more interaction between Cal and Owen on page, however. It felt like most of their bonding and friendship happened off page and we were just told of it. Same with their intimate moments. Given there are times when it's too much for the story, I would have liked a bit more here.

Worth the read entirely if you like a sweet story with a smart couple and a happy ever after.

Familiar Demon by Amy Lane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book two in the series and it was magical.

This time, Edward is risking it all, with the help of his brothers, to bring his beloved, Mullins, back from hell. He was sent there 4oo years ago after making a deal to save his sister.

I was surprised at how funny this was. All of the brothers running around in a minivan. Three of them turning into cats, one into a dog. Hoping Mullins will make it more even when he's turned.

I loved how Amy Lane can write a story and can go from funny to witty to super romantic to hell fire. I love how she can be so descriptive, yet not get overly wordy. I loved how much love and romance and sweetness was in this story. And magic.

It's always fun to experience sweet exchanges between the MC's in her stories, like this one:

"I'm not going to hell. Hell is without you."

If you love Amy Lane and you love romance with a twist, you need to read this series. Another win!

Love You So Special by Tara Lain
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Okay, this cover just blew me away. This was a fantastic visual for me. While I really enjoyed so many aspects of this story, there were some things that just really bothered me as well. Overall, it was a very sweet romance that proves that opposites attract.

Artie is a blue collar kind of guy. He's the first in his house to graduate high school and he's built his life around hiding the fact that he's gay. From the clothes that he wears to his profession of plumber, no one knows. Well, that's not entirely true. His fish know everything about Artie.

Francois is a musical genius. He's a composer and he's a world class pianist. But he's got a crippling anxiety of crowds and well, most people. He lives in a huge mansion with his mother where he's safe. But when he meets the plumber who's working on his home addition, he can't believe how easy it is to talk to him. And he can't understand what it is about him that makes him feel comfortable.

The romance between Artie and Francois was so sweet and a very slow burn. I really enjoyed how their feelings were laid out so well by Tara Lain. It was very well written and fun to read.

I didn't love the homophobic aspect of the story. It was saddening how great lengths Artie went to to stay in the closet and how the story made his parents seem like awful, uncaring people until he brought home someone like Francois.

This audio version was narrated by Ry Forest, who I really enjoyed listening to. With all of the French accents, it was fun to hear his vocal range. I did get confused at times as to who was talking when Francois was conversing with his mother as they both had accents, but overall I really appreciated what the narration brought to the story.

If you are looking for a sweet, slow burn with MC's that are clearly meant to be, this is for you.

Educating the Professor by Sean Michael
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I have some serious mixed reviews on this one and I'm trying to wrap my head around them. On the whole, the story was engaging, the characters were true to life and enigmatic, but I found the dialogue between them lacking and sometimes even bordering on weird.

At the start, Kenn is portrayed as a somewhat reclusive history professor who was admired by his colleagues and cherished by his students. In his small college town, he was well known and had a quite large set of groupies following his lectures. When his best friend and fellow professor guilts him into attending a school mixer, he meets grad student/professor Dave, and he's overwhelmed by his feelings towards him.

Here's where I started getting confused. Kenn had a past and it was brutal. He told Dave from the start that he wasn't ready to start anything, yet he spent all of his free time with him. He constantly spoke of being an introvert, yet was always with people, going out, wanting to spend time with Dave.

Another issue I had was the way Dave spoke to him. At times it felt like he was talking down to a child. And the responses from Kenn were always short (yes, okay, no). Most of the middle of the book continued on like this. It wasn't really until they found their groove, finally, in an unexpected way that Kenn finally got some confidence and actually articulated his feelings and wants as well as needs, but at that point I just felt like Dave had steamrolled him. It very much felt like an uneven relationship to me.

As I mentioned, I was intrigued enough to see where the story would take me to read it fully and it ended as I'd expected, so there were no surprises there, but I just got a wholly weirded out vibe from the entire relationship. Again, this is just me and my humble opinion.

Typhoon Toby by R.L. Merrill
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was definitely a whirlwind, but it was also refreshing and the best kind of hurt/comfort.

Toby is a genius. He started college at 16 and grew up fast. Relying on his advisor, he trusted where he shouldn't have and ended up very emotionally and physically scarred. He just wants to block out the past and move forward, the more nameless the hookup the better. But when he takes a well needed vacation in Bali, he finds that after spending a week with the same man, he feels lost when they part.

Spencer is a therapist and an advocate for LGBT+ youth. He own his own practice with his friend and he's been working himself too hard. When he leaves Toby after a week in Bali, he can't get him out of his head. And when he sees him on TV promoting his new show, he realizes he can't miss an opportunity to see him again.

I'll be honest, I didn't really get into this story until about halfway, but then I was consumed. Toby started out a reckless, lost and frankly annoying character who finally realized that in order to get past his pain, he had to confront it. It was honestly very gratifying to see Toby take the steps to becoming whole. I had to give him credit for his maturity and willingness to 'fix' himself in an effort to have a relationship with Spencer.

At first Spencer annoyed me as well because he acted so victimized and small, but with the promise of love from Toby, he too became more confident and less guarded. Once they found a place where they were grounded the story was so tender and raw.

I really enjoyed all of the friends in this story and their drama as well. It's fun to see the beginnings of other stories building up in the background to keep the series moving.

The last half of this was done so well. There were so many triggers for Toby that he was able to weather with Spencer at his side and I really felt the relationship as it morphed into a tangible feeling of love. This was definitely a book that I'm thrilled to have read and I'm excited to see the next story, hopefully with Javier.
