Review: Freefall by Cat Porter (The Wind & the Roar #1)


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

Freefall is a novella that serves as a prologue of sorts to Cat Porter's new series titled The Wind & the Roar. This is a spin-off of Fury, which in turn, is a spin-off of Porter's highly popular and much loved Lock & Key series. This time around, we have Beck Lanier, a rock star soaring towards superstardom and guitarist, sometime pianist, and songwriter for his band, Freefall. His trip to Meager to see his mom was supposed a quick one, but when his path crosses with that of Violet, the daughter of his mom's best friend, all it takes is one open, heartfelt, and honest conversation to spark something between them.

This novella was a quick read, taking about half an hour from start to finish. But while the pages may be few, it does pack an emotional punch, enough that it piqued my curiosity and stirred my eagerness for more about Beck and Violet. Basically, the anticipation is real, and I'm already counting the days before I can get my greedy hands on the second book, which I'm guessing will be a full-length novel. There was clearly a connection between Beck and Violet, but it was also obvious that these two were headed in different directions. With a few weeks between now and the release of Whirlwind, book two in the series, I may do a re-read of Fury... Go read Freefall to see why! 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

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
