Review

Straight bestie, Beau, runs to his BFF when his life implodes. Now Gavin must figure out how to keep his feelings hidden and locked up. 


It was an enjoyable story from a world I’ve visited before. I love friends-to-lovers, especially a straight one who realizes he was never straight. 


I enjoyed the emotional push and pull between them as they struggled to come to terms with their feelings and potential HEA.


I always enjoy Linden’s writing, and I liked this prequel to the Mars Fitness series.

Synopsis

When your secret admirer is hiding in plain sight.

Gavin

I've been in love with my childhood best friend since forever. But he's straight and married and lives halfway across the country, so all I can do is try to get on with my life. Until he shows up on my doorstep one day, jobless and newly divorced.


Beau

My life has fallen apart and there's only one place in the world I want to be: with my best friend. But Gavin's being all weird and cagey and I'm suddenly feeling things I shouldn't be feeling.


I came to him because he's safe and familiar, and now we're standing on the cusp of something new and terrifying. We'll always be best friends, but do we have the courage to be more?


It's All You is a friends to lovers, bi-awakening, low angst MM romance between a workaholic who's harbored a secret love for years and his oblivious childhood best friend who is trying to piece his life back together. Expect couch cuddles, stumbling on ice skates, a packed subway car, and a kiss cam mishap. It's All You is the prequel to the Mars Fitness series and can be read as a stand-alone.


It's All You was previously published in the Candy Hearts charity anthology. No changes have been made.

REVIEW: All I Fear by Abrianna Denae (All's Fair #2)

  ALL I FEAR All’s Fair - Book Two by Abrianna Denae Release Date: September 19, 2023 Review protective, possessive and violent men.  Tennant and Hollis are an incredible pair. Kinky in the wildest way, they are everything and I adored them (even if slightly disturbed too).   Roman is heir to the Amato family and Tennant, as second in command, must shape him into the man he needs to be to one day takeover. Roman is a bit bratty and wild. Truthfully I don’t really care for him, but he certainly makes for an interesting dynamic to both Tennent and Hollis’ lives. I also love the addition of the odd chapter by other people’s view points, it adds a really interesting dynamic and keeps you tied to all the characters in the series.

He’s calculating and lethal, his antisocial personality disorder provides him with the perfect tools for the Amatos to turn him into their deadlie...

  NOT NOT NORMAL by Peter E. Fenton Release Date: September 11, 2024 Review I don’t read a lot of YA, but if they were all like this, I totally would. Not Not Normal was a touching and uplifting story that anyone who wasn’t ‘normal’ in school could relate to. Finding the tribe of people, friends or lovers, that appreciate you just the way you are.  Jordan and Nathan are both pretty special guys and they make each other's lives so much bigger and more interesting, while also supporting each other, in the ways they can, through the big emotions and frustrations they are experiencing in their lives.  It was such a warm and rich read, and I love the ease in which you could connect with the characters. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Jordan and Nathan couldn’t be more different, but when order and chaos collide, opposites attract. Jordan is a bit of an oddball at school. He likes rules, routine, old sci-fi novels, and is often the victim of his bully’s torment. Wh...
