Review: "Shake & Bake" by Abigail Roux


Shake & Bake is the second "ficlet" in the Cut & Run series and the history behind has more to do with author Abigail Roux losing a bet to some of her fellow writers than with her wanting to actually come up with what she calls "bread porn". Hey, she may have lost the bet but Ty & Zane fans far and wide are the true winners with this quick and free read. ♥

Okay, I shall keep this review short but sweet. Shake & Bake finds Ty Brady and Zane Garrett having lunch in Zane's favorite Italian restaurant, Chiaparelli's. Lo and behold, Ryan Morelli welcomes them but directs all his enthusiasm especially for Zane. Fans will recall that Ryan has a thing for Zane, something Ty is very much aware of. Upon catching Zane looking at Ryan a split second longer than necessary, Ty decides to get his revenge with a bit of bread and a lot of dirty talk. ^.^

I laughed myself silly with this ficlet and if you don't find yourself snickering while reading it, then there's something seriously wrong with you. This so deserves a five-star rating for being compact, cute, and creative. You will never look at a loaf of bread the same way again. ♥

Note: I don't think there's an actual cover graphic for this ficlet but with a bit of Googling, I found one but there's no credit for who originally created it. If you have any idea who came up with the graphic, please drop me a line! Thank you! ^.^

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
