Sundays with oliver

My rating: 5 of 5 stars Kelly Jensen is the queen of older MCs! Her characters aren’t youthful 20-somethings, going out partying and getting wasted and making the types of decisions one makes at that age when there’s time to correct…

Contract Season

My rating: 5 of 5 stars I had low expectations going into Contract Season, as I had difficulty enjoying the first book in this series (Season’s Change). I was hoping for part two of Benji and Olly’s relationship because Nary…

Out of the Ashes

My rating: 5 of 5 stars Five star send off for the Ashes and Dust series! In Out of the Ashes I finally felt like Evan and Colin were connecting. The previous two book in this series left me wanting…

The Perils of Intimacy

My rating: 5 of 5 stars Caution: Do not read if you’re even a tiny bit hungry. Lin’s descriptions of food are mouthwatering and make me crave what the characters are eating. Short of reading a food blog or receipt…

Sink or Swim

My rating: 4 of 5 stars Book 2 in Albert’s Shore Leave series was a lovely read. Calder was not what I expected based on the glimpses I got of him in Sailor Proof. He felt very one-dimensional and not…

Season’s Change

My rating: 3 of 5 stars On the whole., Season’s Change is a decent mm sports drama. I wouldn’t call it a romance because the romance between Olly and Benji seems very much secondary to everything else going on. I’m…
