Review: Two Guys by L.P. Lovell & Stevie J. Cole (The Game #2)


Note: This ARC was provided by the authors in exchange for an honest review.

Two Guys is the second novella in the seven-part series entitled The Game penned by the writing duo of L.P. Lovell and Stevie J. Cole, and it picks up where the series starter, One Contract, left off. Ella Taylor is in the second day of her written contract with business associates Tobias Benton and Preston Lucas. She's agreed to their demands, but she's beginning to find it difficult to control herself from asking some necessary questions. She also wonder what it is that's actually going on between the two men, who appear to be more than just business partners. The second game she's made to play forces her to make a choice, but it's as if she never really had much of one to begin with. Just how far will Ella allow herself to be pushed for two million dollars and what lengths will Tobias and Preston go to in order to push Ella to see exactly what she's made of and if their lamb is equipped to win every single game?

I'm torn between wanting to knock Tobias's and Preston's heads together in frustration and wanting to shake Ella so that she realizes she's getting closer and closer to the point of no return. I get why she still continues to feel so drawn to the two manipulative men, and that's exactly what they are: manipulative. Like I mentioned in my review for the first book, I have this feeling that there's a puppet master or an unknown player in this whole game. Now I'm wondering if Preston actually knows or if it's just Tobias. Between the two men, Preston may seem like the one who's more...ummm...well, "affectionate" is the wrong word. Let's call it "receptive" when it comes to Ella, but there are comments made that make it seem that Tobias is the one who's into Ella more than Preston. Gah, this book has the conspiracy theorist in me working overtime! I need book three today! I'm giving Two Guys four stars. ♥

Release Blitz: Saved by Hazel James

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Image
Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
