THE PATHFINDERS

Pathfinders Lake - Book One

by Robin Knight

Release Date: August 20, 2021

Review

I enjoyed this taboo-light story. And I especially enjoyed it as the gateway to a new multi-author series.  Centred around a lake with a history of embracing any and all love stories.


Hux is a great big golden retriever with the biggest crush on Jack. Best friends and cousins, they have a long history of always being there for each other.  So when Jack needs to lick his wounds after his divorce, it’s only natural that he runs to Hux who’s out at the lake fixing up their cabin.


Jack is a good guy, but he’s also a bit of a jerk. When overwhelmed, he lashes out, which, given their lifetime history, seems unnecessarily cruel.


There’s a side story that encompasses the history of the lake and their uncle, which was pretty sweet, though also heartbreaking. But it also helps to center the beauty of Hux and Jack finding love.

Synopsis

♥ Friends-to-Lovers

♥ Close Proximity

♥ Gay Awakening


Hux has been hiding his real feelings for his best friend and cousin Jack for as long as he can remember. But at the secluded lake cabin they're renovating together, will Hux's desperate yearning for Jack finally lead to true love?


JACK


Hell, I knew the divorce from Sophie would break my heart, but I had no idea how lost and lonely I would feel once she was gone. Everything ended amicably, almost too peacefully, but now I’m facing a whole new chapter of my life. The only problem is, I don’t know what that chapters holds, or if anyone will ever be there to catch me if I fall again.


My only savior right now is my cousin and best friend Hux. We’ve known each other just about our whole lives, and his invitation up to the woods to help him rebuild the old cabin by Pathfinders Lake could be the one thing I need to figure out what plans the universe has in store for me… and the path I need to find.


HUX


Hell, I knew Jack’s divorce from Sophie would break his heart, but I had no idea it would bring to the surface all the yearning and pain and hopelessness I’ve felt over the years. The fact is, Jack’s the one and only person I ever want to spend the rest of my life with. But how do you tell your best friend—your cousin—how you truly feel? I know I need to help him through the dark days following his divorce, but will I be able to keep myself from betraying all his trust by letting my true feelings show? Will inviting him up to the woods to help me rebuild the old cabin by Pathfinders Lake be the end of our relationship? Or will we finally find our very own path in this world together?


The Pathfinders is a standalone friends/cousins-to-lovers romance that is light on taboo and big on heart-soaring romance. It is a sweet and sexy 50k-word story with emotional subplots, scenes that will make you laugh and cry, and a HEA that will touch your heart.

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...
