Review: Crazy by Adriana Locke (Gibson Boys #4)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author.

I stand on my tiptoes and bring my lips to his. God, I love kissing this man. And I'm in awe that he didn't want my knees first, pleasuring him, but wanted to kiss me before. First. Like it was more important. 
What sort of man does that? 
This one. The one with a massive heart and a beguiling soul. And it's at this moment that I know, without a doubt, there aren't walls big enough to save me from him, If he wants to break my heart, I can't do anything to stop him.

Step aside, Walker, Lance, and Machlan Gibson. Wesley Ward has snagged my heart. Who is this Wesley--sometimes called "Wes" by his...special someone...who shall remain nameless through this review!--I speak of? Well, he's none other than Peck Ward, fellow lovers of the Gibson Boys series, and the one male character that many a reader and fan have been itching to get to know even better. There's also been A LOT of strong feelings and debate regarding who Peck should end up with. Could it be the girl everyone loves to hate--Molly McCarter--or the feisty bartender at Crave--Navie (whose last name I don't recall being mentioned)--or someone completely new? I'm not telling because, hello, I'm keeping this spoiler-free AND I don't want Adriana Locke coming after me if I do!

Peck Ward is the guy who would give the shirt off his back if someone needed it and wouldn't even think twice about doing so. That's just the sort of person he is, and he makes no apologies for it nor does he have some sort of hidden agenda. He's simply a good guy with a giving heart and a gentle soul. Oh, and he also happens to be one hell of a dancer once he hops atop the bar at Crave and shimmies and sways (and let's not discount those pelvic thrusts either). He's loyal to his family and cares deeply for his friends. Peck is, without a doubt, one of the best guys around, but happily-ever-after is something that may not be in the cards for him because he's never been enough for anyone outside of his Nana to stay...to love...to come first and love beyond measure. Even if he's found the perfect one for him--the one he'd want forever with--the question remains: will she think he's perfect for her?

Le sigh. I absolutely, undoubtedly, resolutely ADORED every single thing about this book! Peck has always been this peripheral character who stood out for all the right reasons, piquing the curiosity of readers from the get-go. I already knew the guy deserved his own happy ending, but after details of his back story, particularly his childhood, came to light, the more clearly it became how much someone as good as him should be blessed with that special person to spend his life with. I had my guess as to who he'd be paired with, and well, I'm happy to say I was right. Wink, wink. Go read the book, people. Crazy receives five-plus stars. Vincent next, please? And I need more Nana! ♥

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

Release Blitz: Blue Skies by Marie Sinclair

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
