Retro Review: Doubtless by Cat Grant

Image
I am back to my review archive project. I read this back in 2012 when I was reading a lot of romances. I should really try to sneak more in these days. Have you read any of Cat Grant's work? Doubtless by Cat Grant Released July 2012 Romance   |   Goodreads     Source:  Netgalley Loving your best friend is hard . . . especially when he's marrying someone else. On the surface, Steve Campbell seems to have it all: a beautiful home, a snazzy car, and a dream job as one of the country’s top 3-D optics researchers. But underneath, he’s restless and dissatisfied, tired of empty encounters with leggy lab assistants and endless evenings alone. A chance meeting with a handsome escort lifts Steve’s spirits and opens his eyes to his long-repressed attraction to men—and his love for his best friend and business partner, Connor Morrison. Connor might’ve loved Steve like that once, but now it’s too late for their happily ever after; Connor’s about to...

Spun! by JL Merrow Book Review

Image
I am finally back to my review archive project. I read this back in 2018 but it never got posted because I was slacking. So here it is! Spun by JL Merrow Released July 2017 Romance   |   Goodreads    |  Amazon Source: Netgalley An ill-advised encounter at the office party leaves David Greenlake jobless and homeless in one heady weekend. But he quickly begs work from his ex-boss and takes a room in Shamwell with easygoing postman Rory Deamer. David doesn’t mean to flirt with the recently divorced Rory—just like he doesn’t consciously decide to breathe. After all, Rory’s far too nice for him. And far too straight. Rory finds his new lodger surprisingly fun to be with, and what’s more, David is a hit with Rory’s troubled children. But while Rory’s world may have turned upside down in the last few years, there’s one thing he’s sure of: he’s straight as a die. So he can’t be falling for David . . . can he? Their friends and family think they...

Nothing But Mini Reviews #2: A Bunch of Good Reads

Image
Recent Mini Reviews Because I am nothing if not lazy! Here's a bunch of other stuff I've read recently(ish).  Again, they are mostly audio. Stay Sexy & Don't Get Murdered by Karen Kilgariff & Georgia Hardstark I HIGHLY recommend you listen to the audiobook version of this book because it is narrated by the writers and you'll miss a lot of the emotion in the words if you don't hear them tell it. I also suggest that you only pick it up only if you are a fan of the My Favorite Murder podcast - otherwise you might not get what it is all about and you'll probably be very disappointed and will be left scratching your head at the title. It's not a guidebook instructing you how to "Stay Sexy & Don't Murdered" (that's the tagline of the true-crime comedy show), it's a book about the podcasters very personal, very intimate struggles with family, mental health and their careers. As a fan of the show, I found it both intere...

Image
Need some romance in your life? The Ruin of a Rake by Cat Sebastian Released July 2017 Romance   |   Goodreads   |   Amazon   Source:  Library Borrow Rogue. Libertine. Rake. Lord Courtenay has been called many things and has never much cared. But after the publication of a salacious novel supposedly based on his exploits, he finds himself shunned from society. Unable to see his nephew, he is willing to do anything to improve his reputation, even if that means spending time with the most proper man in London. Julian Medlock has spent years becoming the epitome of correct behavior. As far as he cares, if Courtenay finds himself in hot water, it's his own fault for behaving so badly-and being so blasted irresistible. But when Julian's sister asks him to rehabilitate Courtenay's image, Julian is forced to spend time with the man he loathes-and lusts after-most. As Courtenay begins to yearn for a love he fears he doesn't deserve, Julian...
