Add Love and Mix by Sean Michael
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Re-read the book -
I love this story and the deep feelings between Jase and Scott as the story starts. We get to see all the raw emotions and concerns that Kerry’s arrival causes. It was a tough surprise. It was great to see them both committed to each other as well as Kerry. I also like how they were able to figure things out in the end.

Orginal Review
Jase and Scott have a life they love. They have work they love to do that allows them plenty of time to be with each other all the time. But when and ex shows up with a big surprise it changes everything. It will take a lot of work on their parts to figure out what their new normal is. And while it seems fragile at first their relationship to each other is still important. But finally they are able to get some advise and look at possibilities clearly and move on with a new life together.

I loved how these two just saw each other and felt something. Shiloh is so patient and takes things at Grayson’s pace. I also like exploring the different ways Grayson had of expressing his little and middle self.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another action packed story featuring both the desert fish as well as Jackson and Ellery. I love each of the stories seemed to be separate items until they start to be pulled together. Once again there is so much danger and injury. It was really cool to see how far into the action Ellery gets. The bonus stories at the end of the audio book were great.

Nick and Elliott doesn’t have a very good first meeting. And now two years later they are pushed together. It was interesting to watch Elliot's opinions change as he gets to really know Nick. They were both drawn together and with the kids are a family.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a short but very adorable story. Evan and Stevie crossed paths when Stevie was just a kid. And this left Stevie with a bit of a crush. But now Stevie is an adult and Evan is drawn to him. I love Stevie’s snark. I love the added elements of Stevie’s family as well. They are such a great couple and so glad to see how their life works out.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There are some very dark elements to this story with non consent for medical procedures including both adults and juveniles. We also get to learn more about Sam’s past and how it clouds his present. I love the effect of following different threads of action as you head to the conclusion.

I have been waiting for Adam and River’s story. You could see this coming from the beginning. Their friendship has been so solid over the years. It was great to see them really bonding all over again on the trip and while sharing an apartment.

Wooing the Librarian by Nora Phoenix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was such a sweet no angst story. Just what I needed this week. Pascal is the librarian who loves books. Enter Stanton who comes to read to kids and loves books too. They are just perfect for each other. I also love the reference to the Pengrooms as I bought this book for my granddaughter.

This book is hilarious. It was so much fun to see all the couples again. All the craziness of the cookie jar as a way to tie the stories together was perfect. Enjoyed this audio book so much.

Ezra doesn’t like Titan because of the way he treated his brother. But…he is hot so just once, right? Of course once isn’t enough. I love how we get to see both characters work through their feelings and emotions not just between each other but within themselves. There are also some wild twists and turns in this second book of the series. I really enjoyed the audio version.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story starts with Caulin struggling and finding the videos that Jones had produced gave him comfort. It also led to some hero worship. When a situation places Caulin in danger Otto gets a chance to be an actual hero. I loved that both men were unsure and learning as they were building their relationship. A sweet story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really loved everything about this story. There is so much humor but it also examines how expectations put on you by your family can shape the choices you make. It also is about embracing your dreams. I love the interaction between both the main characters. It was also fun to see how friends and family rally around and are there when you need them. The final chapter was a wonderful way to end their story.

It was interesting to see they way that Gabriel from the start had the thought that things were not what they seemed on the surface. My heart was breaking for Ronan. I also like that as their relationship developed that they supported each other through some tough emotional stuff. This is a love story but it is also a deep emotional journey.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As a lover of audio books I really loved this story and the wonderful meet cute between Spencer and Tony. Tony loves his audio books and hearing his favorite narrator makes his day. And of course things go better from there. I like how all the guys rally around Tony when there is some trouble in the diner. This is a sweet fun low angst romance.

On the surface Gavin is a spoiled rich kid. But Cooper notices him. As they story progresses we learn more about Gavin and it opens the door for a relationship between the two men.
