LOVE & MONSTERS

Book Club Boys - Book One

by Max Walker

Release Date: October 27, 2022

Review

What a fantastic start to a new series by Max Walker (this could turn out to be my favourite). I thoroughly enjoyed Love & Monsters. It was fun and jovial. A suspense mystery that was a little camp, a little insta-love, and a whole lot of steam.


Sometimes you meet someone, and everything just clicks. The only problem is a stalker who is definitely not happy that Noah is ‘friends’ with Jake. But Jake is not going anywhere. In fact, he’s determined to help solve the identity of this mystery person, along with the other members of their book club.


These two are pretty adorable together (and pretty hot), and I love how well they fit together and support one another.  No matter how crazy things get, these two have each other's backs. And not just when it comes to the stalker.


The other members of the book club are also pretty fun and intriguing, and I look forward to seeing more of all of them. It all just goes to prove that book friends are the best friends.

Synopsis

Noah Barnes

A trip to the grocery store changed my life.

That’s where I bumped into my ‘straight’ co-worker and good friend, Jake Perez.

I decided to invite him to my book club night, not realizing the chain of events that invite would kick off.

Immediately our chemistry became too explosive to contain, making our friendship and work relationship complicated. That same night, a bloody package addressed to me lands on my doorstep.

Falling for Jake was never in the plans—then again neither was being targeted by a dangerous stalker.

This was going to be interesting.


Jake Perez

We were supposed to stay just friends—but how was that going to happen when all I wanted to do was kiss the guy?

Joining his book club sounded like a perfect way to spend more time with him. I wasn’t counting on liking him more and more with every passing second.

Then came the targeted threats, throwing a wrench in our budding ‘friendship’.

One thing was certain, though. Well, maybe two.

I was going to help Noah figure out who was behind making his life a living hell and I was going to do it while staying as just friends.

Friends who liked to hold hands and kiss and…

Yeah. This was going to be harder than I thought.

REVIEW: Breakthrough by Ana Ashley (Dads of Stillwater #2)

BREAKTHROUGH Dads of Stillwater - Book Two by Ana Ashley Release Date: October 11, 2022 Review Glad to be back in Stillwater, where the number of gay/bi single dads is high (must be something in the water)! Ana always writes lovely and thoughtful stories of beautiful men with depth. Milo and Ellis are no different. Milo is young and sweet but also strong and resilient. He’s been dealt many blows in life but never gives up. Especially when’s got an infant to care for. Ellis is an older kindergarten teacher. Steady, caring, and always ready to help out. He’s been hurt though, so he’s shy about the idea of dating, especially a much younger man. I loved both of them. They were both kind-hearted and wore their hearts on their sleeves, even if they didn’t think they did. I also loved that despite their ages and the imbalance in their financial situations, they also felt like equals. They both had something to bring to the table. The story has enough twists, turns, and emotions to feel comple...

REVIEW: 7 Minutes in Kevin by DJ Jamison (Games We Play #3)

  7 MINUTES IN KEVIN Games We Play - Book Three by DJ Jamison Release Date: November 10, 2022 Review I’ve really enjoyed this series of young friends finding love at the hands of party games. This third book has been teased in previous stories. That of Kevin and his immense crush on his friend's dad. With a significant age gap, Kevin’s insecurity over his gender fluidity, and Garrett’s job that has him on the road 3 weeks out of 4 every month, these two have a few hurdles to navigate if they want to get their happy ending. Though Garrett accepts his bi-sexuality with relative ease, there is still the need to come out and face how others will feel about it. I didn’t connect as well with these two as I have the others, but they still make for an enjoyable story that I have no doubt folks will love.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis 7 minutes in...holy heck, what have I done?! What happens when I return early from a work trip to find my son throwing yet another party?...

  PLAYING DIRTY Miami Piranhas - Book 0.5 by Beth Bolden Release Date: January 12, 2023 Audio Release Date: April 26, 2023  Review Oh my, these two are the definition of cute. Not animosity or rivalry. Just nice guys who want to see someone else do well. In the process of them lifting each other up and supporting one another, they find not just a friendship but a strong love. If you’re looking for something low-angst with two really adorable guys being young men, living their dreams, and finding love, then you can’t go wrong with Playing Dirty. It was also a fantastic audiobook. Narrated by Darcy Stark, he made it highly enjoyable, capturing them both so well. It really made my work day pass a lot faster.
