CHRISTMAS ON STARDUST LANE

by Garrett Leigh

Release Date: November 13, 2024

Review

Gorgeous.


Garrett manages to write the most fascinating characters. Biker turned calligraphy artist?! Stunning.


A critical nurse who’s always on the move and an ex biker who nearly died in an accident and is a bit of a recluse (okay a lot of one!).


Tam reluctant takes on a lodger, Bhodi, and though he does his best to keep his distance, the world conspires to through them together.  And slowly these two bruised souls come together in a heart-melting romance.


I love the combination of rough and real men set in the beauty of Christmas.

Synopsis

A scarred ex-biker with a hardened soul. The hot new nurse in town guarding his own bruised heart.


Tam Dubois is used to being alone. With a body that bears the marks of his mistakes, he’s grown to like it. But scratching out a living with pen and ink is tough, the numbers don’t work, and the only solution he can think of gives him the opposite of Christmas cheer.


A lodger.


It’s the last thing he wants, but like most things in life, it happens anyway, and the stranger he’s so keen to avoid turns out not to be a stranger at all,


It’s him.


Tam can’t believe it--and he doesn’t want to. But matters of the heart don’t play by the rules, and as Christmas approaches, love might just prove the greatest gift of all…


If they’re brave enough to unwrap it.


Christmas On Stardust Lane is a steamy, angsty MM holiday romance. Expect: forced proximity, hurt/comfort, and a chaotic canine with a bad case of little dog syndrome. If you love MM romance, holiday love stories, and the magic of two damaged hearts finding their way, Christmas on Stardust Lane delivers the perfect festive read.

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.
