  HIS HORIZON His - Book One by Con Riley Release Date: June 30, 2020 Audio Release Date: January 12, 2021 Review I have been dying to read this series, and utterly obsessed with the covers, for quite some time. Pretty sure I could retire now to read all day long and I’d never make it through my TBR! In part because amazing authors like Con Riley keep writing new stuff.  But I digress. Back to the incredible men of His Horizon… I was utterly entranced by this story. Two men who seem so different and their drive comes from very different purposes. When they are forced together in the aftermath of so much tragedy. Both are searching for something to set their lives right, and the journey they find themselves on is full of longing, pain, regret, and love. So much love.  Rob was this steady person who never stopped giving of himself. I adored him from the very beginning. And he was absolutely perfect for Jude who was often closed off and prickly (for good reason). This was the kind of stor

  STRINGS ATTACHED by Riley Hart Release Date: January 14, 2022 Audio Release: February 2, 2022 Review A sweet & sexy Best Friends’ Dad romance by my fav author Riley Hart and narrator Iggy Toma. I love how these two stumble around their burgeoning relationship. Between trying to keep things simple and sharing a mutual (ie. the BFF/son), they are struggling to keep feelings at bay. And watching them each discover themselves in their new life - Harrison’s son having left home, and Zander starting a new job and living away from home - well it alone made for a wonderful story.  But the two of them together were really wonderful. They each brought something wonderful to the relationship. And they were definitely compatible if you know what I mean *cough cough* Truly a lovely story/audiobook.

  UNWANTED by Marley Valentine Release Date: May 21, 2022 Review Such a powerful story.  Two very broken men who loved each other once and always, but had not seen each other in years. Until Frankie got a call to return home.  There was so much love and longing and pain. The love they have for one another was as strong as ever, but they have to learn to see each other as the men they are now. They have to choose this life. It’s a slow burn with so much hurt / comfort that makes you want to wrap them all up in your arms and keep them close. Marley always knows how to destroy you and put you back together again, and I adore her for that. And with dual narration by Jacob Morgan and Zachary Johnson you will be utterly entranced by this story. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis From USA Today Bestselling Author, Marley Valentine comes a brand new emotional, second chance, gay romance.
