Review

OMG, shattered. Pure and utterly shattered!


I love both the guys, full heartedly love them. I’m rooting for them every moment. That being said, I want to smother Ollie with a pillow on the regular.


He lets the fear win, over and over, and hurts himself and Rafe. Especially Rafe. At EVERY turn he chickens out, and no matter how much you want them together, you also want to tell Rafe to walk, maybe run, away.


This is an emotional story, part 2 of three. And I’m not happy that I have to wait for the final book because I am entirely invested and I NEEEEEED to know how they find their way.

Synopsis

Ollie Marshall has spent his entire life being composed. On the court, that control makes him dangerous. Off the court, it’s how he survives.


Now a rookie in the basketball league, Ollie is fighting for minutes, reputation, and a future that depends on staying flawless under pressure. The League doesn’t care who he loves—or what it might cost him if they ever find out. It definitely doesn’t care that the man closest to him is a rising rock star with cameras constantly in his face.


Rafe Ortiz is chasing momentum—tour dates, sold-out venues, and an industry that doesn’t slow down for anyone. He loves Ollie fiercely, completely… but loving him quietly is starting to feel like another kind of fracture.


They live in stolen hours.

Hidden touches.

Carefully edited truths.


Until one night cracks everything open.


As media scrutiny tightens, family expectations turn cruel, and mistakes become headlines, Ollie and Rafe are pushed toward a breaking point that changes everything.


SHATTERED HOOPS is book two in the Chords & Courts trilogy—an angsty, deeply emotional MM romance about love under pressure, ambition with teeth, and choosing each other when it would be easier not to… ending on a cliffhanger that carries straight into the final book.

REVIEW: Resting Beach Face by DJ Jamison (Swallow Cove #4)

  RESTING BEACH FACE Swallow Cove - Book Four by DJ Jamison Release Date: February 20, 2025 Review Declan is so beautiful. Quiet, a little grumpy, a little withdrawn, and maybe a little lost and lonely. Then there’s Cash - outgoing, sexual, and completely obsessed with Declan.  It’s a slow burn. One that requires both of them to shift their understanding of each other, and time to truly learn and understand both themselves and the other. I love both the trajectory of the relationship as well as the life and home they build.  It’s a truly wonderful pairing that may be my favourite in the series. Sure I see a bit of myself in Declan, but I also just adore the way Cash grew and how they balanced each other. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis He could have anyone he wants...so why is he so interested in me? Cash is a gorgeous chaotic bi guy with a reputation for getting around. And me? I'm the antisocial grump, closed off and lonely. We should be like oil and water....

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. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Tennant Mason is the Amato Family’s Second in Command. He’s calculating and lethal, his antisocial personality disorder provides him with the perfect tools for the Amatos to turn him into their deadlie...
