Book Review Monday- April 5th!



Another Monday sneaks up on us! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend. We had a blast traveling out of town. Spent way too much money but did almost everything we wanted!

Didn’t get much reading done but that won’t keep this woman down… just means I have a lot of time to make up for! Lol!

And speaking of reading… let’s talk books!

Book Reviewed- State of Mind by Libby Drew

Book Blurb- Grier Crist works for the Organization—a group of Gifted “agents” who use their powers to keep peace, help those in need, and combat criminal influence around the globe. When a suspicious bombing drives Grier to break his ties with the group and go into hiding, the head of the Organization sends model agent Alec Devlin after him, claiming Grier is a murderer and traitor to their cause.

Grier manages to turn the tables and take Alec hostage long enough to convince him that the Organization is lying and hiding something sinister. The two strike a bargain: amidst enemies who want them dead, friends with their own agendas, and the growing passion between them, they'll work together to bring down the Organization in order to protect the world… and each other.

My Rating- 4/ 5

My Thoughts- First time author for me!

I couldn’t be more pleased with how this book was written. Libby Drew created a unique world of powerful people who with special gifts that were just a little confused about right and wrong.

From the first page of this book until the end you will enter a world full of Hot men, fiest females, and one sexy scene after another.

If this is the kind of books this author continues to write I will have to get more.


Book Reviewed- Big Enough for Five

Book Blurb- Ryan and Baz and Marcus and Aidan figure they have it good. They have their own business, a thriving gay and lesbian publishing company. They have a huge bed. And they have each other. It works for them perfectly well, at least until Nicholas starts...watching.

Nicholas has been working at the press a while when Ryan notices that Nicholas is looking more, and looking with intent. But Nicholas is too shy to mention it, and the others haven’t decided what to do about it. They had enough trouble accepting the dynamic of four. So it takes a lot of dancing to admit that might want to bring in someone else.

The guys struggle through hurt feelings, misunderstandings, and lots of hot loving, all the while refining the relationships that make them what they are. Maybe they'll find that their bed, and their hearts, are big enough for five after all.

My Rating- 3.5/ 5

My Thoughts- This author is so hit and miss with me that I just can’t decide about the writing style.

Some books are just plain hot and naught enjoyeable can’t miss and others are just not for me. This book falls in the middle. It was an interesting storyline while the style seemed strange to me. While it was a little hard to get into it was really chapter by chapter book. I don’t think I could write five different points of view so I have to give the author the props for that. You get into the characters heads and know exactly how they feel.


Book Reviewed- Dar and Gregg (Jock Dorm 1) by Bobby Michaels

Book Blurb- If you think Jocks and Nerds have nothing in common, come to the Jock Dorm!

Cute, nerdish Dar has no idea what to expect when campus housing places him in the Jock Dorm. He certainly doesn't expect his Jock-God of a roommate, tall, hunky, muscular Gregg the champion wrestler. Nor falling head over heels for him. Workouts, friendship, a little hurt and comfort, and pretty soon Dar can't take being in love with his straight roommate.

But maybe Gregg isn't so straight. He's been keeping secrets of his own, like a murdered first love and a family that's pretty much disowned him for being gay. Though he vowed never to fall again, he's not figuring on Dar and how the cute little nerd unfreezes his fearful heart.

For once, the nerd gets the jock, but different interests are the least of their problems. They can't keep their hands off each other, but coming out is the hardest part.

My Rating- 4/ 5

My Thoughts- Surpised by this book! I always love that!

I wasn’t expecting too much and was happily intrigued and pulled into the story. Dar and Gregg are such great characters and the story went into depth about how their relationship built and carried them through the trials of being young gay althets.

There are other books in the series and they have been placed on my to buy books.


So I hope you find something to read...
