Review: Epic by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy (Him #2.5)


His teammates swarm the ice and I lose sigh of him in the massive show of celebration, but I know he must be over the fucking moon. And I'm glad for him. He deserves every bit of praise that's going to be poured on him tonight. 
He deserves the world.

I'd originally read Epic when it was part of a multi-authored Christmas anthology last year, and well, this sort of fabulous story deserved a re-read. Written by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, this novella features one of my all-time favorite couples, Ryan Wesley and Jamie Canning from their Him duet, AND appearances from another favorite Bowen-Kennedy couple of mine, Blake Riley and Jess Canning from Good Boy.

Bowen and Kennedy certainly do not disappoint and give fans and readers of this series an extra bit of HEA. Wes and Jamie are still very much happily married to each other and are making names for themselves as a player and a goalie coach, respectively. Change could be imminent, however, and may not only find them in different cities but also opposing sides.

Bowen and Kennedy gift fans who have been clamoring for more from WesMie with a story guaranteed to leave everyone smiling. I honestly couldn't stop grinning while reading this. Epic had me giddy with much satisfaction and was truly an epic final chapter (gasp!!!) to the the story of Wes and Jamie. Le sigh. Five-plus 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)

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
