I’ve been gone for a bit (no books read or reviewed in all of May), but I found my reading mojo once again. All I needed was a little break, and a kick start with a book very likely to be right up my alley. The Lawrence Browne Affair is the second in a series by Cat Sebastian. Like The Soldier’s Scoundrel, it is a historical m/m romance set in Regency England. This time around we’re following Georgie Turner, brother of Jack from The Soldier’s Scoundrel, as he is on the […]
The 50 You Didn’t Know You Needed
How to Bang a Billionaire by Alexis Hall is like 50 Shades, if 50 Shades were Gay (do I have your attention now?) Actually set in the UK (no real American uses the word ‘clamber’) Main characters are both into BDSM (though this book doesn’t have much of it) Laugh out loud funny (intentional) Beautifully written (really) Profound (proof to come) Arden St. Ives is about to sit for his exams at Oxford (for Americans: he’s about to graduate from university, not just end the […]
This book is yes.
This was FUN. I liked the first one, but it was missing something for me. This one, perhaps because its central characters weren’t so quiet and unassuming, intrigued me right away and didn’t let up. Nathaniel Roy is a crusading journalist who is determined to expose the secrets of two big name spiritualists currently practicing in London. He sees what they do as an abomination, taking advantage of naïve and grieving people’s trust and pain, and making money off of it. Nathaniel is also sensitive […]
When rivalries turn into smooching.
Well, I’m not quite to the level of reading all this author’s stuff (it is very aggressively male, which I can tolerate in a sports romance, but I’m not sure about elsewhere). But I am very much in for the rest of this series. I hope it’s longer than three books. This time around, we follow Simeon Boudreaux, who we met last book as one of Gavin Brawley’s best (only) friends and teammates on the Barons, a fake New York professional football team. Simeon is a […]
“There was something reassuring about the realness of outright hostility.”
I mean, this was definitely Written By A Man. This is a sports romance between a famously aggressive NFL player (Gavin, bisexual and in the closet) who is under house arrest for a brawl that was caught on camera, and the personal assistant (Noah, openly gay former social worker) he hires to help him manage his life while he can’t leave his house. There is much personality clashing, discussion of power dynamics, class issues, football, and sex. It is smart, also, and doesn’t give two […]
Bury Me Fathoms Deep
The Pirate of Fathoms Deep is book two in the Tales of the High Court series by LGBTQ author Megan Derr. At the conclusion of book one, The High King’s Golden Tongue, High King Sarrica and Prince Allen of Gaulden have overcome their differences, averted a war, gotten married, and throughly annoyed the High Commander of the Harken Empire, Lesto Arseni, along the way. Lesto answers to no one but the High King, and even then politeness is not guaranteed. Most men would think twice […]
