My Rating- 4/5
My thoughts- Oops I did it again!
One of these days I will learn not to start a series from author Carol Lynne in the middle of the series. I did it with three or four other series of hers and Yes each time I have to go back and get all of the books before it.
The reason- because I enjoy the books so much I have to read about the characters when they were first introduced.
I am a fan of Carol Lynne. She is one of my favorite M/M authors and I will tell you why.
There is no other writer out there that can make me totally care for a character the way she can. She hooked me and grabbed my heart because the men in the books grabbed me.
Not sure how she does it but I know when I read about a character of hers I will love them.
So I bought the four books in the Refuge Shifter series. Started with book three then went back and read one, two, and four. Each book was well written and I liked the story lines. It’s been moved into my fav series folder. Will go back and reread again, probably soon.
Book Reviewed- Running Hot by Stephani Hecht
Book Blurb- A thrill of excitement always went through paramedic James Willson whenever he transported a patient to St. Michael’s hospital, but it had nothing to do with the rush of the job. It was one of the emergency department doctors that set his heart racing—the very sexy, very aloof Calvin Dane. For months now, James has admired Calvin from afar, but has never dared act on his feelings since the doctor didn’t seem to return his interest. Then one intimate encounter in the back of his ambulance forever changes things between the two men. But does the doctor truly care for James or is he just looking for a brief hookup? And can James’s heart survive the hurt if Calvin forever turns his back on what could have been?
My Rating- 3.75/ 5
My Thoughts- This is a hot quick book.
James and Calvin’s relationship goes from zero to off the chart quickly and is hot enough to leave everything else behind.
Good Read
Although I would have loved to read more about them. Their struggles and so on. If the book had been longer and we’d moved on further than the first step of their relationship I think I would have enjoyed it more.

My Rating- 3.5/ 5
My thoughts-
I was a little iffy about reading this book but it had really good ratings so I decided to give it a try.
I was curious about how the author would broach the subject about a man who lost his lover and falling in love with the now deceased lover’s brother years later.
The book was well written. I was glad that the author gave the characters good backgrounds and detailed on the feelings they had instead of just making the men jump into bed together.
I actually liked the characters in the book. I could see myself reading them in other books or situations. But in the end it didn’t work for me.
Maybe it was because we jumped a week in a chapter or a month at times but I still don’t see the reality of it.
Doesn’t mean it wasn’t good, however. Like I said the book was well written and I did like the characters. I am thinking about getting a hold of something else by the author to see if I enjoy other characters better.
