4 e 1/2 "Voleva stare con Quinn, sempre. Voleva ridere con lui, piangere con lui, proteggerlo da qualunque cosa lo facesse sentire minacciato. Non aveva intenzione di mentire a se stesso. Non c’era verso. Era innamorato"Dolcissimo e romantico, una vera sorpresa questo m/m! *_* Quinn incontra per ...
Audiobook edition (Robert Nieman). This was an excellent listen. The narrator hit a perfect note for Quinn’s voice: cynical, self-deprecating, yet warm. His speaking style is engaging and soothing.The novel starts with a simplistic premise: relationship virgin seeks experience, and jaded club boy...
Aaron and Quinn, I love you so! This was a great story and I have to go read the sequel immediately. One of my favorite types of stories is slow burn and, boy oh boy, this sure was slow. Quinn was so emotionally damaged with low self-esteem and his use sex and alcohol to fix everything attitud...
So this is an interesting situation. Normally, to review this – the end of a series, we would have previously been reviewing the earlier books. We didn’t here, but of course I read them. So in a nutshell here is what has happened:In book one we mostly meet each of the MCs. It is a long, long,...
Can Mark, an Anglican Priest who is at heart a good man who believes deeply in his faith and in forgiveness, find a way to deal with the hatred he holds for the man who killed his younger brother?That man, Luke, is released from prison early, after only 3 years. But he is not the hardened crimin...
This is the contiuation of the Dark Horse series and a short and sweet story of how Dan & Justin meet.Sadly, we know what the fates hold for Justin, but it's nice to read his perspective of events, and be introduced to this young man.Justin is everything that his parents, Chris and more important...
This was great! Quite unusual for a shortie, I thought, but that makes it even better because there were elements in this I really didn't expect.This story is like a little piece of life taken out and put on display - there's obviously been tons of stuff going on before this plays out and there's...
The wonderful thing about these novellas in the 'Dark Horse' series is being able to get more background and understanding of these characters. I've already seen a glimpse into Dan's horrific and traumatic childhood. Here, in 'Head Shy', the author gives not just me, but Evan and Jeff too, some i...
More Than Chemistry was perfect, totally cute, and really well written. I enjoyed it much more than I expected to based on the blurb. I was expecting to hate Jack but I actually found him quite lovable. Although I did exclaim "what a bastard!" at one point because, quite frankly, he was bloody st...
Well..hmm. Jeff & Evan and how they got together. It's been a while (I mean a while) since I read Dark Horse but lemme tell you, I remember every heartbreaking thing about that book. It's one I will not likely ever forget. Now, 33 pages you can't really expect everything you as a reader probabl...
'Rough Broke' is a short read set within Kate Sherwood's series, 'Dark Horse'. I can not stress the value of this story enough, however, I'll be the first to admit that it's not easy to read. If you've read this series in order, then you already have a hint of the childhood that helped to create ...
It was really nice to see the three men at their best for a change. Again, the short free stories seem to have the best communication between the men. The addition of the baby to the family is finally forcing them to make some decisions that they have been skirting. It was great to see Evan and...
3-3.5 starsI received a free copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.Poor little rich boy is the story of Nick and Alex, the rich boy and the housekeepers son, who grew up together and were inseparable, first as friends, later as lovers. In college Nicks recklessness almost causes Ale...
Okay so maybe cheating? I found a 101 page M/M romance. A nice quick piece of fluff that I took to the launderette with me and read in two hours. It was pleasant, simple plot but enjoyable. So that's it. 50 books in a year. I guess I should get back to writing so maybe my target next year wi...
He’d planned it that way, hoping that the tight schedule would keep him from having time to think about what was about to happen. His suit isn’t exactly crisp after his abuse of it the day before, but the steam from the shower has made it wearable, and Dan isn’t too worried. Justin had liked him ...
There's a subdued brass sign saying "Andre's", but nothing more to indicate that this is a public establishment. Evan sees Dan's confusion. "It's just that good." He explains. "They don't have to advertise; they get all the business they need just from word-of-mouth." He pulls the door open and h...
He opens the door wider, and you stumble inside, feeling stupid and clumsy as the adrenaline wears off. Your stagger brings you up closer to him than you would normally get, and you hear him inhale a little in surprise, but he doesn't move away, and you are done with being careful and trying to w...
I don't care if she's wearing a bucket on her head, it's too close." Evan considers the rule. "Okay, but…why would Tat be wearing a bucket on her head?" "Evan…" "Well, it's your rule that says I can't talk about what I really want to talk about, so…let's talk about buckets on my sister's head....
Just that same touch of wariness, as if Dan is almost as unsure as Justin. "You're a bit earlier than I expected—I've got another two hours at least to work." Dan bites his lip a little, then shrugs. "But I've got a ten minute break now…." He moves away, and Justin almost reaches out to stop him,...
"Have fun, okay?" Evan says, and there's something in his voice that makes Tat run a few steps back to him, edging Jeff and Dan aside in order to give her brother a huge, Kaminski-style hug. "We will, Evan. Thank you." Then she skips a little to the side, reaches up and gives Dan a quick peck on ...
"Unfortunately, we don't have the night vision cameras or the tear gas cannons." "Evan, tell me you aren't buying it." Jeff sounds wary. "No, uh…." Evan looks a little sheepish, and then glances over at Chris, who snickers. "I think… we're looking at maybe buying the company, though… it's a real...
He wished the technology worked that way. If he could just beam his thoughts to Joe instead of having to figure out the words, he had a feeling everything would go more smoothly. Even better if he could bypass the thoughts and send the pure emotions. Sure, there’d be frustration and anxiety and f...
He looks out of place but good. At least Dan appreciates it. As he walks across the bar toward them, Dan realizes that they still haven’t even worked out how to greet each other in public. He thinks back, frantically trying to remember how Jeff and Evan act together or how Dan and Justin used to....
He’d give the horses their hay, then go around with their feed, then check that the automatic waterers were working. And then nothing. He’d sit there and listen to them munching away, or he’d go outside and watch the farm wake up, the sun hitting the dew on the grass, the birds flitting around lo...
There was a pause, and a rustling noise. I assumed Danny was getting himself comfortable. “So, speaking of your sex life….” Yeah, that. “Uh—yeah, well, really you already know pretty much all there is to know. I had dinner with Ryan last night. I’m—I don’t know. I’m exploring my options.” “Seriou...
