Daddy's Saving by Pepper North
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love the fact that Knox is clear about how long he's cared but was never going to do anything while Sharon was with her husband. This story has some very dramatic moments that advance the story. I love all the feels this story has to offer.
I listened to the audio version and enjoyed it very much.

I love how the fact that both of these men have complex personalities and problems. I also like how the meeting was during the event but there wasn't an easy or insta everything works out. You see Austin begin to take care of himself and make choices that are best for him. Mateo is also really exploring himself. This story moves over a larger arc of time which gives it a much more realistic feel.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not sure what I expected when I picked up this book but it was so different than what I expected. This book is full of so many feels. It is hard to put anything more to the review without there being a spoiler. There are plenty of twists in the story as well. It was such a rich story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a strong story. Hudson and Yannick are both well rounded characters that have a lot going on in their life. They both hit it off quickly but there is a lot to unpack on the way to being together. I like the effort Hudson goes to for his boy.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I like how these two guys get together and they click quickly but then things have to be put on hold as Jeff is deployed. I also like how his friends know him well enough to know to give Scott some tips on the care and feeding of your military man. This is a sweet romance and the dog is adorable. Listened to the audio version and it was well done.

View all my reviews Ranger by K.M. Neuhold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is full of feels and some hard moments. I love that this story doesn't just gloss over how hard recover from PTSD is. There isn't an insta healing just by meeting Julian. There is ongoing hard work and there are missteps. I also love that you see both men supporting each other. I also like the fact that even when Ranger is in a crisis situation he takes the time to help out someone else who has a relative in need.
I really enjoyed the audio recording of the book.

I love seeing Eloise and getting to hear her story. I love the fact that these two men are drawn to her and Master Derek only helps get things moving.

I also like the fact that they understand where Eloise is coming from and do their best to make sure she has all that she needs to build trust for her future.

View all my reviews Red Wolf Thrall by Amy Bellows
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story examines the theme of starting over in the many ways that people have to start over. With everything going on in my life I appreciated the low angst. There are some big moments but the relationship for Noah and Ari despite circumstances feels pretty solid.
I listened to the audio version and really loved the bonus story included.

View all my reviews Unexpected by Felice Stevens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love the look at these two men. Colin is set in his way with his baggage from a hard past. He has such a bad attitude at the beginning of the story that he has a really bad reaction to Walker. Walker has his own difficulties and kind of gives the vibe that Colin isn't all wrong in his negative assessment. BUT and this is where the story starts to take the wonderful turn both me start to see the other as more than their assumptions. There are moments when they begin to dive deeper and that is where the relationship truly begins. Both men have the other's best interest at heart and that is what develops and drives the conclusion of the story. There are parts of the story early on that both me frustrated me with their attitude but getting to the end was so satisfying. I listened to the audio version and it was well done. And frankly I think that was what help me get past the part of the story were you just want to thump both men in the head.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love the way these two get together. These two really connect for the beginning. I also love the kids and how they just love each other. This is a sweet story with only a couple of angsty moments when dealing with the exes but even that isn't as bad it could be. This is a sweet love story of two men who deserve a great life and find it with each other.

I also read Ray of Sunshine by Casey Cox 

This is a short story but packs a lot of happiness inside. I love the fact that these two men had been friends for a long time and are reconnecting. It gives the feeling that now the time was right for them to be together.

Charlie had to make some hard decisions in his life and hasn't really done much for himself for years. Daniel is just getting settled.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There were times when I got frustrated at both of these men and the way that neither one of them was being honest about their feelings. But you could also respect their history both personally and the interaction with each other. The road to a relationship was rocky and put to the test but I love that in the end they worked it out and were strong for it.

I also love the fact that Omar is willing to make the changes necessary to be a part of Nigel's life. A great addition the Destination Daddies series.

Weeks 26 and 27

 I was traveling for the last two weeks so I had a bit more reading time.  But, all my walking steps were taken with others so no audio books were finished.  But back to work on Monday so I should soon be back to "normal" so lots of audio book listening while doing my morning walk and driving back and forth to work and a small amount of time for reading books before I fall asleep at the end of a tiring work day.  

Crazy Little Thing Cold Love by Colette Davison
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love the way these two men both go in not necessarily looking for long term or even being sure of what they were looking for. I like how Jude decides to be honest with Kasper from the start. I also like the way that Kasper makes it clear that there is nothing wrong with the boy helping out his Daddy. I like how you can see the romance build between the two of them. I also like the reality that just being together doesn't magically make Jude's nightmares and flashback's go away.This story really has some depth to it. Very enjoyable.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love the connection these two have really from the beginning. We see that Patrick's story starts out with a bad situation. Work also continues to bring trouble. I like how Akker wants to be there for Patrick in what ever ways he can. This was a great story of two men finding their way together and building a life together.

Week 24 and 25

Mate by Piper Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love how feisty Matthieu is from the beginning. He really is the catalyst for so much change not just in the lives of Geoffry and Ian but also for dragons everywhere. I love all the new characters we got to meet in this story. There is so much to love in this story and I’m glad there will be more stories involving this world.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This story is pretty low angst. Brooke is there to help out and her friend and runs into Lawson pretty much literally. They hit it off and things move quickly. This story is a easy ready and fun. It focuses more on the dungeon side of the ranch instead of the littles side. You also get to visit with old friends in this story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love the arch of this story. Archer cares for all the members of the band but has concerns especially for Jude and his destructive behavior. He is willing to bring back his past. I also appreciate how Bennett is willing to put his feeling out there. I also like how Jude’s needs are always taken into consideration. These three blend so well together. It is a very strong story on it’s own and blended into the series as well.
I listened to the audio version and it was very enjoyable.

Week 22 and 23

In the Morning Light by B.A. Tortuga


I really love the fact that these two really had a relationship even if they hadn’t given it a name in the past. I also like how Austin can freely admit that he hadn’t really listened to what Jim was really saying at the time. This is a sweet story with the building of a family.

View all my reviews A Daddy for the Omega by Anna Wineheart


This story was interesting to see how these two sort of end up together. Wesley has his reasons for distrust based on past experience. Drake is drawn to Wesley but is willing to be patient and give him the time he needs to be ready for each next step as they building relationship. I love this story as it was very sweet romance.

View all my reviews Omega in the House! by Ava Beringer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

These two are so funny as they both try to dismiss what are they filling for their won reasons. Scott has his rules but at some point rules need to be broken before it’s too late. You can also get the vibe that once the rules are broken there will be a whole lot more changes that will come to the Mansion. Fun story and a great introduction to the series.

View all my reviews Hired: Hadley by Nora Phoenix

Another great book in this series. I love the way that Sebastian is drawn to Hadley from the start. Hadley is allowed to be strong and show how good he is at his job as he helps Sebastian figure out how things should really work. I like how they are able to develop their relationship.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jax is drawn to Ember from the beginning but she has to learn if she can trust. I like how she called him when things were going badly. He was also willing to go out on a limb to help her out. There were lots of changes in her life all at once but you can see how happy she is. I also love the scenes with the older lady they added a special touch.
I listened to audio version and enjoyed it very much.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I like how very subtly the relationship builds between Rhett and Calix. They have a struggle to figure out what they are building. This story also has the ongoing elements of backstory of the bombing and assignation with more threats.
I listened to the audio version and it really add a layer of drama.

View all my reviews Perfect by Felice Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The moral of the story is there is no perfect but you might just be the best for each other. There were times were I got a bit upset at both of these guys and felt like say "oh, gosh" just talk to each other already. It took these guys a while to finally work things out with each other. The angst in this story is internal. But overall I was happy with the story and the end was worth the journey.
I listened to the audio version and enjoyed it very much.

Brad really is at the end of his rope. You can see that he has been triggered and is unable to get a grip. Tajj is also down on his luck. I love how these two come together and begin to support each other. Both men are allowed to be strong both for each other and together. I love the progression of things as you move through the story. This was a wonderful love story.

Week 20

Rabi and Matthew by L.A. Witt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is very intense. There is so much action and hard moments to get through. Even though I was sure it would all be okay there are some really tense moments in the story. Sometimes the person who comes through isn't the one you were expecting which continue to keep you on your toes.
I listened to the audio version and I think it made it seem even more dramatic.
