The Lonely Drop (Love’s Landscapes) by Vanessa North (5 Stars)

Jun7

A very touching story about two people who mistakenly walked away from each other when they were younger. Now they are trying to reconnect, but both are struggling to take the final step. Excellent writing and dialogue, along with two characters I really cared about, made this a very compelling story.

Merry Gentlemen by Josephine Myles (3 Stars)

Riley was a fun character with a quick wit, and the story is basically focused around him figuring out what he really wants out of life. I really didn’t get to know Stan at all, and I didn’t understand their relationship. There was very little dialogue between them, and we really didn’t see them spend any time together. We were just told about moments of time in their past, but it still didn’t paint a picture of a relationship.  The bulk of this story wasn’t very happy, but instead was a little sad with too much angst for my tastes.
