REVIEW: Waylon's Awakening by Quinn Ward

-



Review:

This is definitely a sweet, loving, slightly kinky, very steamy book. It was a really great story where one man gets to reimagine his life and figure out how to make himself happy, not just everyone else.

Though they have a lot of possible obstacles, ex-student/teacher, age difference, one is straight…but they fit together so effortlessly. They are sweet and kind to each other, giving each other the attention they hadn’t received in the past.

Thanks also to a host of lovely town characters and friends, whom I’m sure we’ll get to know better, this was a lovely and sexy story.


Stars: 4

Synopsis:


A divorced teacher. His former student. Are they about to be taught a lesson in love?

I’ve always been the nurturing type. I mean, I’m a teacher, I’ve got three kids – the very model of responsible, mentoring manhood, right? Well, now my wife has divorced me and my mother needs surgery, so I guess I’m moving back home in my forties.

It’ll be a good chance to figure out what comes next.

I wasn’t expecting the answer to that question to be Jasper.

He’s a former student running his own salon, and apparently thanks to me, he’s so far out of the closet he’s not even in the house anymore. Mom is one of his favorite customers, and after her surgery, she suggests I rent the apartment over his studio. It seemed like a good arrangement.

But things start happening.

When we clean out the place, we grow close. It’s obvious he needs someone to take care of him. And I’m feeling things I never believed I could.

I can’t do anything about them, though. He’s half my age. What would my children think? And to the outside world, I’m straight.

What will the citizens of Harmony Grove say when they find out I’ve been keeping a secret most of my life?


Waylon’s Awakening is the compelling first book in the Harmony Grove M/M romance series. If you like tender characters, bisexual discovery, and finding love in unexpected places, then you’ll adore Quinn Ward’s soulful, steamy story.

REVIEW: Hateful Love by T. Ashleigh & Addison Beck (King of Aces #1)

  HATEFUL LOVE King of Aces - Book One by T. Ashleigh & Addison Beck Release Date: February 1, 2024 Review That was a freakin’ fantastic story! This book is on the longer side, so when I went to bed to read at 8 pm I knew I wouldn’t finish it all.  Well, that was a lie I told myself because let me tell you, I barely even noticed when the clock chimed midnight and I was still reading. I was so utterly engrossed in this story that I could have been on fire and not noticed. Firstly, the prologue…wow, so touching, and gave such a fantastic incite into Silas. It’s a common story, two guys from different ‘sides of the track’ hate one another. Prejudices run high, assumptions are made. It would be difficult to imagine them ever being civil to one another, let alone falling in love. When I reached 50% I was thinking, okay, this is good, but I can’t imagine what’s left to cover over 200 pages…but let me tell you, that is when things really heated up and you knew you wouldn’t be put...

REVIEW: Resting Beach Face by DJ Jamison (Swallow Cove #4)

  RESTING BEACH FACE Swallow Cove - Book Four by DJ Jamison Release Date: February 20, 2025 Review Declan is so beautiful. Quiet, a little grumpy, a little withdrawn, and maybe a little lost and lonely. Then there’s Cash - outgoing, sexual, and completely obsessed with Declan.  It’s a slow burn. One that requires both of them to shift their understanding of each other, and time to truly learn and understand both themselves and the other. I love both the trajectory of the relationship as well as the life and home they build.  It’s a truly wonderful pairing that may be my favourite in the series. Sure I see a bit of myself in Declan, but I also just adore the way Cash grew and how they balanced each other. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis He could have anyone he wants...so why is he so interested in me? Cash is a gorgeous chaotic bi guy with a reputation for getting around. And me? I'm the antisocial grump, closed off and lonely. We should be like oil and water....

REVIEW: The Burnt by Peter E Fenton (Declan Hunt Mysteries #3)

  THE BURNT The Declan Hunt Mysteries - Book Three by Peter E. Fenton Release Date: August 5, 2025 Review I wish there were more mystery romances out there.  I love the mystery-solving, both the entertainment value of the cases, but also as a plot point to a developing relationship. And Declan and Charlie are a dynamic duo. They have great banter, but are also caring people. Book three, and Declan and Charlie are still finding their way as boyfriends and colleagues, but it’s clear they could be amazing. And now Charlie is learning to become a detective, too. They each take on a case, but before long, they find their cases connecting. Which is perfect, because they do their best work together. They put to bed a case that Declan worked on as a police officer, but it also uncovers some things that I’m sure will cause them both some headaches in the future!!  Peter is a great writer, and I especially love this series.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Book th...
