A Funny Contemporary LGBT Romance

September 10, 2015 by Mrs. Julien 5 Comments

This is my first Australian romance, plus it’s about two men, neither of them are confused about their sexual preference, and it was written by a man. Huzzah! From Amazon: The most important things in Simon Murray’s life are football, friends, and film—in that order. His friends despair of him ever meeting someone, but despite his loneliness, Simon is cautious about looking for more. Then his best friends drag him to a party, where he barges into a football conversation and ends up defending the […]

Another Meh Contemporary Romance Novella

September 9, 2015 by Mrs. Julien Leave a Comment

This novella from the A Matter of Time series was a heightened reality ball of fluff that catches the two leads’ story in media res. From Amazon: After years of domestic partnership, Jory Harcourt and Sam Kage are finally going to make it official in their home state of Illinois. It’s been a long and rocky road, and nothing—not disasters at work, not the weather, not a possible stalker, not even getting beat up and having to attend the ceremony looking like he just got […]

Cool Contemporary Romance Title, Unsettling Content

September 2, 2015 by Mrs. Julien Leave a Comment

So, that’s a super cool title. I received this contemporary romance as a gift, not for an “honest review” as one so often hears, but because Katie71483 is lovely and knew I was looking for a good LGBT romance. The Sinner’s Gin of the title is a blues-rock band that experiences a horrible tragedy the same night they win a handful of Grammys. Glorying in their success, their limo is t-boned by a large truck and three of the four band members are killed. The […]

I’ve Never Said This About a Romance Before

September 1, 2015 by Mrs. Julien 3 Comments

There is a book, Take, that falls between Try  and Trust  in Ella Frank’s erotic romance trilogy, but I read them out-of-order and didn’t bother to read it because, and I can’t believe I am saying this either, and, please note, doing so for the first time in scores of romance reviews, erotic and otherwise, this book has too much sex. In Try, Logan* is a successful lawyer who very much enjoys his life as a good-looking, financially comfortable man about town. When he visits […]

Contemporary LGBT Romance and LOOK AT THAT TITLE!

August 5, 2015 by Mrs. Julien 6 Comments

Winner of Title of the Year. All other books need not apply. From Amazon: Shy accountant, Evan McCormick, is conservative with his money and tough on his body, yet the decent nest egg he’s amassed, and the toned physique he’s formed isn’t enough to fulfill him. Evan’s starving for affection. As an introvert, bonding with others isn’t Evan’s best quality. When Dillon—an impeccable-dressed and debonair ad executive—joins the firm, Evan lets his guard down. An office scandal and sexually-overt billboards popping up all over New […]
