  FILLING THE VOID Devil’s Deal Duology - Book One by Sammi Cee Release Date: October 30, 2024 Review Takoda may have a dark underbelly, but it still has plenty of love and sweetness.  I love a good morally gray character, and Bosely is definitely that.  Breaking his rules for the quirky man running the boutique hotel he’s staying at. Cory comes across as naive, but he sees more than you realize and has plenty of life experience. But mostly it was losing his husband that has affected him the most. He’s never even considered finding someone else, until Bosely. A man he knows he probably shouldn’t fall for, but can’t help but do so. They are a wonderful pairing, and their story isn’t over yet.

  VIRGIN SKIN Ink Slingers - Book Two by KM Neuhold Release Date: November 1, 2024 Review Oops, I accidentally made out with my best friend's son!! KM gives us forbidden romance, tattooed bikers and an adorkable guy in need of some caretaking. Piston is the caretaker of the group, always dolling out wisdom and keep that others from go off the rails.  He’s also growly and possessive. Yum! It was a fun story, these to living together, hiding their fun, but ultimately finding exactly their person.  I enjoyed the storyline of Milo getting to know his dad and of course the other guys in the shop. It was all classic KM Neuhold.

  MY MOTHER’S RIDICULOUS RULES FOR DATING by Philip William Stover Release Date: October 24, 2024 Review I really like the author’s writing style. It’s cheeky and engaging, and the premise of the story is fun and endearing. Sam is likeable, and quite frankly, relatable. He hasn’t reached the milestones he expected to and he has a lot of self-doubts. It makes for a tumultuous time.  Made even crazier by his mother. Doesn’t help that he’s a bit of a doormat. Unfortunately, I wanted to set the mother a drift on a raft in the middle of the ocean.  She was over the top and never once listened to Sam's wants & needs. I would have left the country if she was my mother.  The story had a number of wonderful side characters that brought a richness to the story.
