WHIT

Release Date: April 21, 2022

Review

"It's you, Whit. Don't know why you can't get that through your super-smart brain. I'm obsessed with you."


These two were a delight to read/listen to. I love a straight man who eagerly embraces his interest in a man.  Seriously, Caleb is a really hilarious and pretty adorable golden retriever. A Whit is a mysterious and quiet man who has his secrets and does his best to keep his distance from Caleb. But really, I don’t think anyone could resist Caleb. 


There are serious undertones to the story and some heartbreak, but it’s beautiful too. The way Caleb wins over Whit’s trust, the patience he shows him, and the care he takes to give him everything he’s been missing is wonderful. 


Also, Caleb’s family is completely amazing, the way they take to Whit is something special, even if the brothers are a little wild with no sense of boundaries.


"This is my life now. I should have never talked to you at that coffee shop. Now I'm surrounded by big dudes who are slightly sociopathic."


Truly a wonderfully written story and a pretty stellar job by narrators Liam DiCosimo and Alexander Cendese. I was just as taken by the story as I was by their performance.

Synopsis

Straight guys don’t have crushes on other dudes, right?


Except my roommate, Whit, is intriguing, and I find myself watching him constantly. He’s a mystery I can’t figure out. And these feelings I’m having about him are confusing.

Then, one night, I find myself wrapped around him, and after that, I can't get enough.

But Whit has secrets. He doesn’t let people in, and the more I fall for him, the less I know.

I can't let him go, though.

Until I realize I’m going to be the one broken at the end of our story.


This is a sexual-awakening MM romance book with sexually explicit material suitable only for adults. It's generally a sweet romance, but some content is not suitable for some readers. Trigger warnings include mentions of abuse, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and the death of a loved one. Please take this into account before reading.

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.

He absolutely does not want Tristan Nicholson. His complete and total opposite. His teammate. His compe...
