Lower animal content, higher angst for this sequel

Best Laid Plans by Roan Parrish

April 10, 2021 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

I was intensely curious about Jack’s brother Charlie after reading Better Than People, so I was very pleased to see that this book would be about him. Alas, the animal content of this book isn’t quite as high as the previous one in the series – only two cats. But gosh, Jane and Marmot are pretty amazing cats. When Rye inherits a house from a grandfather he never met, it seems too good to be true. But given he’s been couchsurfing in Seattle, he makes […]

Soft and angsty romance

Best Laid Plans by Roan Parrish

February 13, 2021 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

There are three thing I know about a Roan Parrish book before I open it. It will be queerly m/m. It will be rich in emotion. The two main characters will be messes who make each other better people. My only consistent critique of her work is that I wish her characters went to therapy more often. In real life, I would insist on it, but in fiction I can sink into their emotional lives and become mushy with them. Rye Jannsen is at the […]

“There’s Hope Left in These Dusty Chords”

Raze by Roan Parrish

May 14, 2019 by Emmalita 1 Comment

Raze is the third book in Roan Parrish’s Riven series. I have not read the first two, but when I saw Raze offered on NetGalley I remembered ctkat1’s very positive review and decided to request it anyway. I’m glad I did. Raze is out July 2. This was in many ways a sweet book to read. There are times when I need a heavy dose of emotional angst in my falling in love story. Raze had some good angst. Felix and Huey are both messes who […]

“Even things that needed you could hurt you in the taking.”

Riven by Roan Parrish

February 26, 2019 by ctkat1 3 Comments

This book surprised me. Ostensibly it’s a contemporary LGBTQ romance, but I’ve read quite a few m/m romance novels and this one stands out, in a good way. Riven is about two musicians, Theo and Caleb, falling in love. Theo is a 25(ish) year-old rock star, the lead singer and songwriter of a popular rock band. Theo loves music but hates everything about being a rock star- his bandmates were a group long before he showed up and while they need him to be successful, […]
