Thanks goes out to the CBR romance crew for introducing me to this sweet book. Orleanas introduced it, and it kept getting good reviews, so I had to try it too. What can I say? I’m easily persuadable. It’s a very light, contemporary M/M story. So light that I have very little to say about it, but I’ll give it a try since this is a pleasant story and I’m happy to recommend it. Henry Beckett is 35 and recently dumped by his long-term […]
“If you stop running, you fall.”
So again this is from the publisher that went under so if you want to buy this book on Amazon hurry there are only a few left (she may independent publish these once she has the rights back from the publisher). I loved this book so much. It is a Magpie Lord linked story but it is pretty standalone (you will enjoy the cameos and understand the story a bit more if you have read the Magpie trilogy ((which is excellent so you should do […]
Rodents of Unusual Size
This is the second book in the Charm of Magpies series and a tiny bit of a let down. The plot is just as tightly wound and well paced. The characters are still funny and sexy. I think my discontent comes from the lack of POV switch, we do not get anything from Stephen Day’s point of view. I am not sure why the author made that choice because it is actually Stephen that has the most at stake in this one and I would […]
“Neither Skewton nor the Thwaites offer the charm of your company, and I’m saying that to a man who spent the night disembowelling cats
First a quick housekeeping note, the publisher of this book went under and the author is working on getting the rights back so she can republish them. Amazon has a few copies left though. I took the gamble of buying the series because I was afraid they would run out and I am glad I did because the first book was fantastic! I read a review for this book here, so thank you cannonball community for another great recommendation. This is a m/m romance and […]
This book was SO MUCH FUN. I want to read it again.
I started this book at lunch yesterday, got sixty pages in, and then read the rest of it in a frenzy as soon as I got home from work. I even forgot to eat dinner. Guys, I NEVER forget to eat dinner. I’m thinking about what I’m going to eat for dinner immediately after lunch is over. Sometimes lunch the day before. I mean, I did eventually remember to eat, but only after I finished the book around 8:30. Only the really good books make […]
A book I would never would have found without CBR.
After I read emmalita’s review (which in turn was inspired by Orleana’s), I immediately downloaded this book. I was just super in the mood for it. The premise, the descriptions of food, smoochies, clichés . . . just the whole thing. And it didn’t really disappoint, though the writing style isn’t my favorite. Said premise: Henry is thirty-five years old, and has just been dumped by his boyfriend of eight years, who left him stating that Henry had become old and fat (even though they are […]
