Out in the Open by A.J. Truman

This book may have been published in 2014 but it still feels fresh. At the tender age of 37 (yes I know ‘am vintage) I thought I had left the college romance books behind. But this book has made me intrigued and happy to read romances set in an era of my life that is long gone. One thing that I enjoyed so much is that you feel their age. The fact that they are in their early 20s and don't have everything figured out is refreshing. They are learning, evolving and testing limits both regarding themselves and others. ♥️

Ethan is a sophomore and could be described as a nerd with clear goals and a one-track mind to achieve them. But behind the scenes, he yearns for something more, something unexpected and exciting then he meets Greg. Greg is a fratboy and a cocky one at that and let's just say the first meeting did not leave a good impression.

But then a small incident during class turns it all on its head and they go from classmates to enemies-with-benefits to friends with an arrangement. The big question is can they make it to boyfriends? Because the more Ethan opens up the more Greg closes himself off and it will be a journey for them to get on the same page when it comes to love and being in a relationship.

This book is spicy and these two can’t seem to help themselves. I mean the Library, the cinema and then the CONCERT HALL. Holy Sh!t they do try it all.

ARC Review - Loving Leo by Cora Rose & Nicole Dykes

Loving Leo by Cora Rose and Nicole Dykes Behind the Camera Book 4 This was a fun quick read about Leo and Heath. Leo is an up-and-coming cam boy who wants the shot at becoming one of the stars on Carter's exclusive site. But in his quest to stardom he needs to take some risks, risks like filming content in an office that belongs to the man, Heath, he technically works for. But boy is it worth the risk when he is interrupted and the fans go bananas over him getting caught. This begins a cat-and-mouse game where they tease and taunt each other. But the taunting turns into getting to know each other and the connection they felt when they first meet turns into something more. This was a shorter read but oh so funny and steamy. Leo is a darling and Heath is a grump with heart and they mesh well. Even with the age gap and monetary imbalance, they find things in common and that makes them work. Heath is a jealous bean but also very supportive of Leo and I can get behind that. Leo is che...

Review - Humility by Lark Taylor

4,5⭐️ Humility by Lark Taylor Damned Connections Book 4 I have been patiently waiting to find out how Danny and Riley became a couple and I wasn't disappointed. We start with a bang (pun intended) and then we have a five-year time jump. In this book, the time jump makes so much sense. Throughout the book, we get tidbits on how their friendship grew and evolved to the place they are today. Without that, I think what happens next wouldn't work. We needed the stability and knowledge that these two were thick as thieves and know each other very well. We meet two people who are against entering a relationship for various reasons but when life happens Danny has to make that big decision that will change everything. Riley is so hes...

4,5⭐️ Temperance by Lark Taylor Damned Connections Book 3 This is the third book of the Damned Connections series and this book's story starts before the beginning of Patience. We follow Toby, a vampire and Blaise, a fire mage and their story towards love. We have had many interactions between Toby and Blaise, in both Patience and Justice, that in this book get explained.
