My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a great story where an established couple who are clearly very much in love can still have some surprises. They find out there are more ways to explore a relationship. Jonah has to overcome his fear and be totally honest. But I love the way Lars shows his love and commitment to Jonah and their marriage.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story shows the way both main characters are trying to move forward. Ty has things to prove especially to himself. Emmett’s struggle is more about speaking his truth. There are times when things don’t run smoothly but in the end love does conquer all. The audio was enjoyable to listen too.

I enjoyed getting to meet Porter Sunday. Since he was away at college you really didn’t get to know him in the previous books. I think Theo was thrown off by his feelings and frustrated that Porter wasn’t listening. Once they really started talking things started to improve. Love the wonderful way Theo and Porter’s lives come together. The audio version is really well done.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book has a story within a story. You have Tanner and Cole who seem an unlikely couple yet they are drawn to each other. Then there is the mystery of what happened 70 year ago. The now and the present seem to be intertwined. There are some dramatic moments past and present. I don’t want to say more and give anything away. Just know that this is powerful story. The audio was very well done and really drew me in.

View all my reviews I Survived Seattle by J.K. Hogan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I bought this book at a convention on whim because of the title as I’m planning a trip to Seattle later this year. I wasn’t expecting so much deep emotional moments. We see Justice’s struggle with his mental health issues. We also get a peek at Nic’s baggage. This story does give you a HEA but it is hard fought and not at all a direct path. There are other emotional surprises as well. I’m so glad I gave this book a try.

I love how Sam helps Toby to see not only that he is worthy of love but that there have been people loving him already. It is a sad fact that sometimes the negative voices keep you from accepting something better. The audio was great to listen to.

Hand Picked by May Archer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was such a funny start to a relationship. They go from deciding to be friends to almost married. The townspeople seem so invested. When their families join in it gets even funnier. But under all the layers is a community that is willing to help out and care for each other. I found the audio pleasant to listen to.

I love the transition of Fredrick goes from caring for Ren’s plants to caring for Ren. It was amusing to see how Ren doesn’t even realize he’s being drawn in at first. The puppy was adorable. I was glad to see both of these men get their HEA. I listened to the audio and enjoyed the narration.

 

View all my reviews Cuddle Bug by Aster Rae
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had a hard time deciding what level to give this book. It felt like a 3.5 but rounding up to 4.0 for reviews. It is a very sweet story. When reading most Daddy stories you have the expectation that things will probably be less than realistic. But parts of this story just seemed a bit much. For example spending over 24 hours in the Cuddle Room at the Club. And there were other times where the story seemed to jump like visiting Waxley’s old teacher. But bottom line it is a sweet story of two men finding the right person. I picked up the bonus chapter and it was a fun addition.

Hideaway is a wonderful story of reconnecting. What was a girl’s crush is transforming into a woman’s love. There are obstacles and bumps along the way. I loved seeing Phoebe return to activities she used to enjoy. Taylor’s fears are reasonable but it was great to see the relationship grow. I listened to audio and enjoyed it.

I appreciate the way this story portrays Ellis. They don’t sugar coat the fact that Ellis made some poor choices to solve his problems. It is also made clear that he was not the same man that went into prison. The author makes this clear with every little interaction and how Ellis reacts. I also like the fact that we get insight into Jasper’s personality. I love how both men brought out the best in each other. Jasper has so much love to give and now he has someone to share it with.
