Review

Oooph, this gets better with book 2. As we get to know Aiden and Jamie better and better the more invested you’ll become. A lot is happening, there are a lot of moving parts, and it’s definitely not smooth sailing for our boys, but their love is still strong.


We get to see Jamie in action back in his old world of basketball when he goes undercover. But it’s not the only case taking place and in the course of it secrets are kept and revealed. 


I love them both. Both are stubborn in their own right which makes them amazing and disasters all at the same time.


There are plenty of surprises, and of course, it ends on a cliff hanger, so be sure to have book 3 on deck.


I’m still thoroughly impressed by narrator Christian Leatherman, he brings a great story to life with a great voice and a wonderful understanding of the characters and the story.

Synopsis

Aidan and Jamie go undercover—and under the covers—in this second book of Layla Reyne’s Agents Irish & Whiskey M/M romantic suspense trilogy.


FBI agent Aidan Talley has been hiding parts of himself since he was a teen. Thirty years later, he’s hiding his heart from his partner. He’s already lost the love of his life once, and Jamie could be that kind of love again. He won’t survive the loss a second time.


Cyber agent Jameson Walker left behind a promising sports career to keep his sexuality out of the spotlight. Now, he must return to his old life, as a coach, to bust an illegal gambling ring. He needs his partner, but after refusing to hide how much he cares for Aidan, they’re as far from partners as they’ve ever been.


Jamie struggles undercover. Not with the job, but with deciding which life he wants when it’s over. Aidan wants Jamie to choose the present, but to convince him, he’ll have to drop the act and stop hiding. And even if he wins Jamie back, even if he rescues Jamie after the case takes a dangerous turn, the secret Aidan doesn’t know Jamie’s keeping could blow his world apart.


Romantic suspense and sports romance collide in this swoony second book of three, now in its second edition with a new cover and formatting and extended content.

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.
