Review: When I'm Weak by Aria Grace (Mile High Romance #2)


Note: This ebook was provided by Enticing Journey Book Promotions in exchange for an honest review.

When I'm Weak is the second book in the Mile High Romance series from author Aria Grace and is the story of Jamie, who was briefly introduced in the first book, When It's Right. Jamie's life was changed forever when he was only eighteen, and even four years later, he's still having to watch what he does and is forced to distance himself from the first guy who has sparked his deeper interests. As much as he wants to get to know Reed better, Jamie can't risk tainting him with his past, and it's a past, that once revealed to those around him, may make them see him as a pariah. It's this interesting conundrum that makes this second in a series one that I finished in a single sitting. Jamie and Reed have chemistry, but with the former's past still haunting him, there may be no hope of a present for them, what more an actual future.

The story is fast-paced and isn't overly long so it can be finished in about an hour's time. It takes a while before Jamie and Reed are able to actually do anything about their attraction toward one another, and that mostly is due to Jamie's resistance to pursuing it. Of course, knowing the reason behind his actions makes it easy to understand why he would feel the need to do so and you can't help but empathize with him, all because of one thoughtless event in his young life. Having Shane and Alex play supporting roles in Jamie and Reed's story was a great touch, but my favorite supporting characters had to be Seb, Jamie's roommate, Lucy, Reed's sister because they provided some comic relief. I enjoyed the book as a whole, and the ending has me very curious as to what happens next in this series! When I'm Weak gets four stars. ♥

Review: Him by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy (Him #1)

Image
Four years' worth of meaningless sexual encounters flash through my head as I break the kiss and slide down his body again. All those guys I hooked up with in the past...they're a blur. They're faceless. Sometimes they were faceless even when I was with them. I got off, they got off, but I wasn't fully present. I always held something back from them. Not with Jamie. I can't hold back with him, and never could. Holy book hangover. It's confirmed: there's something seriously wrong with me to have waited as long as I did to read this novel, though I'm counting getting it on sale as an absolute bonus. I get it now. I seriously and absolutely get why Him , the first book in the series by the same name from the writing tandem of Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, has received and continues to receive the stellar reviews and accolades it's gotten since its release in July of last year. I've read many an M/M romance novel and yes, I've read...

He’s also my brother’s best friend, and so far out of my league, he's untouchable. But a few stolen glances turn into a welcome home that blindsides us both. The rules are clear. We just chose not to follow them. Now we’re sneaking around like we’re running a trick play, hooking up behind closed doors, and pretending our actions don’t have the power to blow up our lives. Knox is under my skin and tackling his way into my heart. Ready or not, it's time we make the play. Knox She’s the last girl I’m allowed to want—my best friend’s little sister. She’s all grown up and looking at me in invitation. The second Corie crashes into me, with her tanned, toned skin, in a barely there bikini, I know I’m in trouble. I shouldn’t look. And I sure as hell shouldn’t touch. My hands are already on her waist, one second longer, ...
