  RELOCATION Restitution Series - Book One by BH Lynn Release Date: March 29, 2024 Review The start of a four-part series following two damaged men who are going to have a bumpy path. The two detectives are assigned as partners when Adam moves temporarily to Peyton for a fresh start of sorts. Their personalities are different, but they both share a deep level of trauma and pain. Which is helpful and a hindrance all at the same time. While they work together to solve cases their personalities and stories are revealed. And while some secrets are revealed, there are more to come.  What is clear is that they have great chemistry and could definitely share something special. This isn’t going to be a quaint small-town story…think realism - somewhat gritty and dark, with difficult struggles and some terrible people. But we’ll also get to solve some crimes along the way, which is bound to keep things interesting. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Homicide Detective Adam Daw...

  MOVEMENT Stay Grounded - Book Four by BH Lynn Release Date: Sepbetmer 21, 2023 Review We’ve returned to our beloved Alex and Trevor. These two have been through a gamut of trials and tribulations. Married life is going well for them. Alex’s business is humming along. And criminals are still making Trevor (and his BFF partner Jules) work for it. The stress of the job isn’t always easy on either of them.  Especially now that a gang war and an extremist uprising seem to have their sights set on Trevor and other law enforcement officers. I love that even when these two are struggling, they still draw strength from one another. And ultimately they’re reminded that they are stronger together. It’s been beautiful watching these two grow and find their footing as husbands. Knowing that love isn’t the be-all and end-all, it takes a commitment to make it work and to love one another each and every day through all the ups and downs. I’ve also really enjoyed the mystery side of the stor...

  FOREIGNER’S GOD Stay Grounded - Book Three by BH Lynn Release Date: April 28, 2023 Review Book three of Alex and Trevor. These men are starting to feel like family. We’ve all been through a lot in three books! Trevor is a very human character. He’s been through a lot and hasn’t always been great at coping. And though he’s on the right track, thanks to the love of his life, Alex, and his best friend, Jules, he still struggles. Still has to work hard to feel deserving of Alex (and let's face it, most of us don’t deserve Alex).  Throw in a serial killer that’s hitting a little too close to home, and family who have made a reappearance, and you have a recipe for just a little stress. But these two were meant to be, well and truly. This is a great addition to this series. Following our boys and the mystery was engaging. I see there’s going to be a book four…not sure how much more these two should be made to deal with, but I’m sure they’ll come out stronger in the end!! Add to you...

  DINNER AND DIATRIBES Stay Grounded - Book Two by BH Lynn Release Date: January 7, 2023 Review One of the great things about a couple having more than one book is the ability to witness the ups and downs of the relationship. The work that is required to fight for a relationship. It’s in every moment. Figuring out how to always choose each other even through the chaos of real life. Especially when they also have to contend with personal demons and fears. We get that with Trevor and Alex. They are real and messy. And when Trevor’s job and a case blur the lines at home, they are both forced to come to terms with some of the hurt and pain of their pasts. Otherwise, it runs the risk of tearing them apart, and they’ve only just gotten started. “How long am I going to feel like a stranger in my own happiness?” I love a book that doesn’t make problems magically disappear with love, but rather shows us that love can give us the strength to endure and keep going.

Review: This has a bit of a detective noir feel in the beginning which had me hooked, as Trevor spirals into self-pity and his pain. You can perceive how alone he feels. The only thing keeping him going is his job. A job that is far from 9 to 5 and one that has him witnessing some of the worst life has to offer. When he meets Alex the Irish coffee shop owner, he feels a connection that makes him as scared as it does excited. He refuses to believe that Alex could love him with his baggage and job, but thanks to a criminal who seems to have it out for Alex the Detective can’t stay away from the gorgeous man. This is a novella, so it was set over a short period of time, but it didn’t feel rushed or lacking. It had everything it needed, character development, back story, interesting storyline, and two gorgeous men finding their happy ending. All in all, I really enjoyed this. 4.5 stars 🕮 It Will Come Back by @brittneylt89 🔖 Add to your TBR ➟ https://bit.ly/3Qnztdo Synopsis: Trevor: At th...
