Review: Let's Do This by Loren Leigh (IFU Hockey #1)


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

I fell in love with Loren Leigh's writing while reading her debut, Always, which is the first book in her Indigo Falls series, so when I heard that she had a new series starter in the works, I was counting the days until I could get my greedy hands on it. Basically, my expectations were high, and my hopes were even higher, and suffice it to say, Let's Do This, book number one in Leigh's IFU Hockey series, met every single one of those, making me a very giddy-with-happiness, M/M romance-loving, unapologetic bookaholic.

Let's Do This introduces readers to Shaw Keenan and Eden Burkehammer, the main characters of this IFU Hockey series starter. Shaw is a college junior on a scholarship and the goalie for IFU Wolfpack hockey team. On the other hand, Burk is a senior and a defenseman for the same team. They've been best friends and housemates over the past couple of years, with Shaw thinking he knew everything there was to know about his Burkie. But then the arrival of a package for Burk has Shaw realizing he needs to get to know his bestie much better...and maybe get to know himself even more in the process.

There was simply no resisting Shaw and Burk and their swoon-worthy love story. This had a lot of humor to it, with lighthearted moments, not just between the two, but also when it came to the interactions within the Wolfpack, as well as with Shaw's family. But there was also a dash of angst, enough to satisfy even an angst addict like me. I loved seeing Shaw and Burk's relationship evolve, going from teammates and friends to lovers and then far more than they probably expected. Once they had decided to cross that proverbial line, they were committed to seeing things through and figuring things out. Let's Do This had romance, hockey, and all the good stuff in between. This gets five 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
