Lower animal content, higher angst for this sequel

Best Laid Plans by Roan Parrish

by 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.

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, […]
