Worth a Shot (FIT Guys #2) by Kim Dare (5 Stars)

Feb28

I adored this sweet and sexy romance with heavy character development. Tony and Donovan finally connect after admiring each other from afar. Donovan was struggling to move forward after leaving a somewhat mentally abusive and sexually pathetic boyfriend. Tony, who was protective without being controlling, was committed to helping Don replace those bad memories. There were plenty of extremely steamy scenes with lovely dialogue to help make the emotional connection. There was a bit of angst, since neither of these guys shared that they wanted to take the relationship further. This is the second book in the series, and I loved it as much as the first, Worth Waiting For.

My Subby Valentine by Amber Kell (3 Stars)

Feb25

I enjoyed this story at first.  It was a cute little romance with a sub who knew he wanted to belong to specific Dom even though they hadn’t actually met. However, when Mason’s past comes back to haunt him, the plot went over the top. Although serving as a way to bring Kit and Mason together faster, the story was too short for a kidnapping, violence against a dog, and a gunshot wound.  It caused the romance to fall to the wayside, and didn’t leave me convinced that these two even knew each other by the end.

Eight Days by Cardeno C. (5 Stars)

Feb24

Light-hearted enjoyable romance between two best friends. I adored Josh, especially since he recognized that he was often clueless about even the most important things in life. Maccabe and Josh both had some issues to work through on the communication side. I enjoyed the dialogue and watching these two deal with life and family. I also liked how the story took place over more than a decade, but each chapter focused on a day during Hanukkah.

Going Up by Amy Lane (3.5 Stars)

Feb23

This was a nice story, but I think it would have worked better if we were given Sean’s POV.  Zach was a bit boring. It was also hard to believe that Zach spent the majority of his life fighting for people’s rights, but managed not to have any friends.  There wasn’t much dialogue or relationship building taking place. Their meetings in the elevator started out cute, but then got weary. The highlight of the story was Zach’s secretary, Leah. There was also the treat of seeing Jace and Quent from one of my favorite Lane stories, Gambling Men.
