THE WAY HOME

Pathfinders Lake - Book Five

Review

I’m with Riley; I would have run too, poor guy. That heartbreak of moving somewhere new as a teenager and finding someone special, only to feel like it’s impossible to be together.


Now they are stuck at the cabin on Pathfinder Lake, thanks to a meddling mom (not cool by the way). 


Suddenly finding themselves alone 24-7, it’s hard to keep those feelings locked away. And Jeremy is relentless in trying to embrace the bond.


It’s a sweet story of second chances and acceptance, and I love the future they found for themselves.

Synopsis

Ten years ago, when Riley met Jeremy, he fell hard. Jeremy was his first kiss, first love, first…everything. It started as a summer fling after Riley moved to a small town, but the fling came crashing to an end when Riley’s mom announced her impending marriage to Jeremy’s dad.

Riley forced his own feelings aside to put his mom’s happiness first. Being so close to each other but unable to act on it drove a wedge between him and Jeremy.

Now, as adults, Riley and Jeremy have a nonexistent relationship, avoiding each other at all cost. Not knowing their history, the parents decided enough was enough and devised a plan to get the two to spend time together at the family cabin.

Will they be able to move past the connection they once had to form a new kinship, or will their feelings ignite anew?

The Way Home is a second chance, nerd/jock MM romance. It is part of the Pathfinders Lake multi-author series that features forbidden romance. Each book can be read as a standalone but is better enjoyed as a series.

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...
