Review: Paper Airplanes by B. Harmony (Perspective #2)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Gay Romance Reviews Tours & Promo.

B. Harmony's The B-Side was one of my favorite debuts from last year. Since then, she's added a holiday novella, Christmas Carols, to the Perspective series, and now, the second full-length novel. Paper Airplanes is the story of a two men, one who no longer believes in relationships and the other who believes in happily-ever-afters. Just a quick FYI: This book can be read as a standalone, but there are recurring characters from the series starter and one of the main characters was introduced then, so if you have plans of reading that book, be forewarned that there may be potential spoilers in the second book.

Everett Sawyer has always put his work as an accountant first. He's worked hard at laying the foundation for his business, R.G.S. Capital Services, and at twenty-five, he has no plans of settling down anytime soon...or ever. When he returns to town, his best friend hopes Rhett will be able to help out the owners of Wicked Thorne Landscaping. He doesn't expect, however, to be as attracted to one of the Thorne bothers as much as he is. Thirty-two-year-old Damon Thorne ticks off all his boxes, but the big bear of a man has "forever" written all over him. Rhett doesn't want strings attached, but being with Damon slowly feels like more. Will Rhett be able to cut the strings if his heart's already attached? 

This book was so adorably sweet! That doesn't mean that there wasn't any steam, because there was and a whole lot of it. I loved getting to know both Damon and Rhett, and even though I knew they were going to end up together, I was curious to see how they would overcome their issues, particularly Rhett's hang-ups regarding relationships. There isn't a whole lot of drama--thank goodness!--but there is a dash of angst alongside some appreciated wit and humor, making for a fairly lighthearted read. The supporting cast of nosy but well-meaning characters was a hoot and bonus points for Barkley! With two couples already getting their happy endings, I'm definitely looking forward to reading the third novel, this time featuing Rhett's best friend, Dylan. Five stars go to Paper Airplanes.

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

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
