Review: Julian by Michelle Heard (Trinity Academy #4)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Candi Kane PR.

I've been looking forward to reading Julian ever since Michelle Heard announced her plans for it, and I was a tad nervous because this book had huge shoes to fill, what with the great reads that Falcon, Mason, and Lake--the original Trinity Academy trilogy--turned out to be. Well, I'm happy to say that Julian was a standout, just like the three before it (and not just because Julian Reyes's book is the first one without any bit of delicious abs on display.

Jamie Truman wanted just one night to let loose and let go, and that's exactly what she did with the broody but downright gorgeous stranger. She had no idea she would see him again, only this time, the package came with a name: Julian Reyes, he twenty-seven-year-old business partner of her brother-in-law. The problem? Jamie didn't inform him she is a nineteen-year-old freshman at Trinity Academy--the same academy Julian is now chairman of.

Julian caught the attention of many readers as Falcon's older brother in the first book, and Michelle Heard made sure the wait for his own story was worth the wait. Jamie was the perfect partner for him, and the back and forth between the two of them was what made this book such an enticing read. Having the other characters from the first three books was an added bonus, so if you haven't read them, hop to it already! I'm awarding Julian five 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

Blue Skies (Blue Skies #1) by Marie Sinclair Release Date: October 11, 2023 About Blue Skies Greg loves his job as a flight attendant. If only his love life could make him as happy, he’d be all set. 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)

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
