On Shaky Ground by Andrew Grey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love reading a book about a character with a disability. This was charming.

Brock has finished college and can't find a job. When a financial trading company contacts him with an opportunity for a job interview, he jumps at the chance. It's not until he arrives that he realizes it's just an assistant position. When he meets the man he'd be assisting, he realizes it's more than just answering phones and taking notes. He'd literally be the eyes of the CEO and he can't pass up the opportunity.

I felt like the relationship between Brock and Martin had substance and made it so much more real. From the start, Brock took on his personal issues professionally, like ensuring his tie and collar were straight. It was sweet and went a long way to solidify their deep attraction.

This was a nice, quick, feel good read with two sweet MC's that deserve the HEA they got in the end.

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.
