  HOPELESSLY BROMANTIC Hopelessly Bromantic Duet - Book One by Lauren Blakely Release Date: May 31, 2022 Audiobook Release Date: May 31, 2022 Review Gah, cliffhangers!! The worst torture to ever torture a reader!! TJ and Jude are the swooniest, funniest, most lovely guys ever. The brief meeting in London some years ago was packed with pinning and flirting, but before they get to figure themselves out, they are pulled apart by their careers.  Their memories remain fond, and their pact to meet again when they’ve each made it remains present in their minds. So when they get the chance they jump at it. There are nerves, but the deep attraction and simple ease at which they connect is as strong as ever. Leaving them wondering if this is it. If they’ve found the ‘one’. Until miscommunication and hurt feelings tear them apart. No joke, TJ and Jude and both amazing, and you’ll want to ring both their necks for their destruction. I loved the reverse enemies-to-lovers trope.  Looki...

  LET THERE BE LIGHT Twin Hearts - Book One by AM Johnson Release Date: November 16, 2018 Review AM Johnson writes such a beautiful story. She has a lovely poetic style that lulls you in and makes you want to live inside the book. This was me finally making my way into her backcatalog, and boy it’s a treat.  "This world is such a big place, and most of the time we never find the people we're looking for. People look all their lives for the one person who understands their heart. We search, and hope, and I think... it's a blessed few who find it on their first try." Royal and Camden were so real and stunning. Two young men who are trying to figure themselves out, make their own way, all while feeling an intense pull to each other.  It was powerful and sweet. They found strength in each other. As reality and tough choices swirled around them, they held on to each other. And thankfully they had some amazing people around them to make it all easier. Really you couldn’t as...
