Book Review Monday- May 31, 2010




BOOK REVIEW MONDAY MAY 31, 2010.

I’m back this Monday with three new reviews to share with you. Sadly with me being so sick the last few weeks, the craziness at the day job, and working on my new house I haven’t had tons of time to read.

But I have been able to fit in a little reading every week and I am happy to share my thoughts on the latest books I’ve picked up!

Book Reviewed- Jumping into Things by Julia Talbot

Book Blurb- What are the odds that two different brothers will find the man of their dreams in one summer?

What are the odds that those two brothers will both like men?

The Thatcher brothers will make you forget the odds. In this double novella, each brother tells his own tale. There’s Jed, pilot and all around good old boy, gets more than the one night stand he bargained for with an adrenaline pumped smoke jumper who makes him as horny as he does crazy. And Ross, Airborne jump instructor and man’s man, finds a sweet young thing he can’t resist, and follows in his big brother’s footsteps.

Likeable men, hot sex, and a great sense of detail make these brothers believable, even when you think the odds are against them.

Review Rating- 4/ 5

My Thoughts- Jed and Eli were one hot, sexy, and oh so yummy couple! The story read very smoothly and I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. Between Eli getting injured, feelings not talked about, and misunderstandings you have to pull for the two guys while wanting to scream at them to get it together!

Ross and Kevin were just so easy to enjoy and I really liked this story also. Ross is straight? Was straight? Has tried strap-ons but not men- oh it is just so funny when he shares that with Kevin.

Two books in one! Gotta love that! These stories are well written with characters you’ll enjoy. I would suggest you add Jumping into things to your library!



Book Reviewed- Freeze Frame by Mia Watts

Book Blurb- Dill Harper can freeze time, but unfortunately, it's a faery gift that only works at the most inopportune moments. Now he's on a case for Harper Security, watching the very delectable ass of Mason Haliday-a man worth having, but one who doesn't want to be had.

When an unknown enemy puts a hit on Mason, Dill is worried. Despite their chemistry under the covers, Mason knows that Dill will not be easy to bring around. How can he convince Mason trust his heart to the man who's been spying on him?

Review Rating- 4.5/ 5

My Thoughts- The blurb does not do this book justice! This story had it all! Characters that I thought about after I was done reading, comedy, hot scenes, and a mystery.

Turns out this is the second book of a series and I have already added the first to my TBR pile. I am so glad that I found it! And Dill’s family is so outrageous and wonderful that I will be going back for more books as they come out!


Book Reviewed- Tempting Sin by Amber Kell

Book Blurb- No Blurb available- SORRY!

Review Rating- 3.75/ 5

My Thoughts- This is an author that I like to read when I need to relax and just want a quick read. As I get into her more recent stories I have enjoyed them more than the first ones I bought. The editing has improved a little but still no where close to where it should be.

Sin may just be every man and women dreamboat. Or fantasy. Callum is someone who you just want to read about.
Their story is hot and intense. Sin owns a security business and Callum is a chef. They get together and after one night Sin knows he has to have more of Callum. By the end of the book as Sin’s men and Callum’s brother arrives I was really into the book. And then it ended. I would have loved to read more about this group.

Book Review Monday- May 3rd



BOOK REVIEW MONDAY- TWO MORE BOOKS FOR YOU THAT I FOUND, READ, AND THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT.

Book reviewed- Security Issues by Morgan Hawke

Book Blurb- Rory has a rather intimidating personal problem: Teradyne Corporation's chief of security, Jin. Despite his attraction to the dark-haired elite, Rory knows better than to get involved with someone who's first love is their Job. Unfortunately, Jin doesn’t seem to want to take ‘no’ for an answer


My Ratings- 4/ 5

My Thoughts- What a surprising good book.

This story had it all! Comedy that is so rarely seen, hot man on man love, and great written characters.

In all honesty I wasn’t expecting much. I was bored and the book was cheap. Oh how glad I am that I got it.

I loved loved how Rory dealt with security. Even better was how Jin turned the tables.

This does have some spanking, being tied down, and out in your place scene and they were awesome. Highly recommended.



Book Reviewed- Boystown: Three Nick Nowak Mysteries by Marshall Thornton


Book Blurb-

A former police officer turned private detective, Nick Nowak is haunted by his abrupt departure from the department, as well as, the traumatic end of his relationship with librarian Daniel Laverty. In these three stories set in Chicago during the early eighties, Nick locates a missing young man for a mysterious client, solves a case of arson at a popular nightspot, and goes undercover to prove a dramatic suicide was actually murder.

When he isn’t detecting, and sometimes when he is, Nick moves through a series of casual relationships. But his long suppressed romantic side surfaces when he meets Detective Bert Harker. Will he give love another chance? Or, will he continue to bury himself in the arms of strangers?

My Rating- 3.75/5

My Thoughts- Three books in one, you gotta love that.

These stories were very entertaining. I actually read the first two rather quickly. The third was just as good but took me awhile to get into at first.

I like cop turned detective books, always have. The fact that he is no longer a cop because he’d gay, added to it.

These books are heavy on the sex. Lots of sex with lots of different men. That’s usually not my kind of books and I didn’t change my mind here.

It’s a good read.


There you go- another week of what I've been reading- because there is always something to read.
