HELLO FOREVER

Hello Goodbye - Book Two

Release Date: July 14, 2017

Review

Another touching and emotional story by Sarina.  A little less crying  over this than book one, but still very deep.


I love a second chance romance. Especially one that involves a deeply closeted man who sees no path to being able to come out.


Cax and Axel were boys when they were caught kissing. They lost all contact after that. Until years later when they end up at the same college. Still feeling the same pull to the other as when they were kids.


These two walk a fine line between rekindling their love and trying to fight it. With a lot at stake if they are found out, tension is high.


I love when someone finds the strength to be themselves.

Synopsis

Basketball always brought them together. Now it might just tear them apart.


Axel


I always wondered what happened to my first love. But after we got caught kissing at church camp, his jerk of a father made sure I never saw him again.


Six years later, I’m streaming a college basketball game in a distant town, trying to decide if I should take a job with the athletic department there, when a familiar face in the crowd leaves me stunned. The school is a thousand miles away, in a tiny rural town. But suddenly, I can’t wait to get there.


Caxton


I can barely believe it when Axel turns up at the college where I’m a grad student. And I’m just as drawn to him as I ever was. But a few stolen kisses are all I’ll ever have. I can’t date. Loving Axel would mean letting go of my younger brothers who need me.


They can’t be together. But as far as their hearts are concerned, it's Hello Forever.

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...
