Review: The Other Side of Green by Anna Bloom (The Other Side of Us #2)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) as provided by the author via Give Me Books Promotions.

Ah, the angst! Goodness, but how this continuation of Lyra Lennox and Jack Cross's story gave my heart a workout. Because The Other Side of Green picks up where The Other Side of Blue left off, suffice it to say that these need to be read in order. After all, Anna Bloom's The Other Side of Us duet features one couple and a continuous story line, but since both novels have been published and released, you won't have to wait after you get to the evil cliffhanger found in the series starter if you're either new to the author or to this duology.

I'm going to make a really serious effort to NOT mention any details or information in this review for fear that it could turn out to be spoilery for anyone who has yet to read the duet. Let me instead focus on what was going on in my head while I was reading the conclusion to Lyra and Jack's story. These two went through A LOT in order to get to their happily-ever-after, so that if anyone really deserved that HEA, it was them. I loved how devoted these two were to each other. There was no question how much they loved and were extremely protective of one another. The twists and turns had me super anxious most of the time, but that's what happens when everything comes together as well as Anna Bloom has written this epic romance. I'm handing The Other Side of Green 4.5 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)

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
