Well this one definitely required suspended belief - mostly in this specific case, bc the story is about angels & the heavenly realm. I did greatly appreciate the Father saying what he did about one’s relationship with the Most High. Happy that the MMCs relationship carried on in hel & not just on earth. Listened via Hoopla Sac

Best Friends to Lovers *superior trope/subtrope in my opinion* Mark’s story!!!! OMG I just wanted to alternately smack Mark & smother him those 2 awful days. I’m sad to leave Boston but it’s ended on a high note & I am happy. Listened via Hoopla Sac

Wow. This trilogy isn’t the first I’ve read that has a blind MC & while Issac is very good at playing that he’s great most of the time, he’s also an a-hole to the tenth degree with Carter & his sister Hannah (Hanna?). Anyway, by the end I’m really glad the author wrote Carter’s vehemence about therapy for Issac & for their relationship. I’m sorry if that’s a spoiler but the more I read of gay fiction in any genre & subgenre this isn’t the case. I haven’t (to my knowledge) had the pleasure of meeting a blind person, but as an empathetic person I can definitely imagine the struggles I’m sure many go through including a circumstance like what was depicted in this book. It makes my heart hurt. Anyway, on to book 3 with these two & who knows what might lurk between the pages 😂 listening via Hoopla Sac

Oh my. I have so many thoughts. Excited to read the next book & continue Issac & Carter’s story. Listening via Hoopla Sac 

This was fun! Dad was expectedly made out to be the villain if you will but that was resolved well & this girl loves epilogues, especially when they indicate a HFN (though not my favorite with single stories) or show on page either a proposal, wedding/commitment ceremony or HEA.

Ok. So this is not the first book that I’ve read that has addressed asexuality. What did surprise me about how the relationship is written was that while both MMCs identified as asexual, it was strictly in only one section or whatever of the spectrum. I also didn’t care for the  group (at least those whose names were listed as speaking during share time) to seem like they were all this one number on the spectrum that the MMCs were, which is only interested in the companionship aspect of a relationship which seems very polarizing to me as I briefly thought asexual might fit me. Lastly, my brain battled with all my knowledge about the human body, especially how sensitive our hormones are male or female & how we can be deceived into thinking “we don’t like sex” as being something that just is, rather than looking into how a low libido & sex drive can be naturally & safely corrected. Ugh. 😑 so many thoughts. This story feels a bit rife with errors & not inclusive IMHO & I’m surprised that while Walker’s great character banter & side characters were fantastic, this is another big ball drop for me. Take that as you will. Listened via Hoopla Sac

Blue Collar MC!! I love when I find an author who can write a short story well, by giving enough context, a little relationship angst due to MMC2 having previous negative events happen. These guys are meant for each other & boy do I mean that. Now on to the next Walker book ☺️ listened via Hoopla Sac

This is a gay awakening (for MMC1), cosy, small town story. There is a bit of angst between the main characters but it’s resolved fairly quickly. Loved the dog Bentley & thought he was a great addition to this story. Listened via Hoopla Sac

This is a story about an abused Sub when his Dom “disciplines” using his hard limit. Then being transferred to a house with a soft Dom & Sub. I felt great care was used in writing this book & enjoyed it immensely. First book narrated by Nick J Russo & he did a fantastic job bringing it to life. Listened via Hoopla Harrison Memorial 

😅 this was a fun & great series to read. Loved the prolonged epilogue & it was okay that they only had one kid. Personally, would have liked to see them have two but…I digress. I really loved the “ranch” setting, as I grew up watching The Man From Snowy River & the 2nd movie & then as an adult falling in love with the McLeod’s Daughters series. Joel Leslie was a surprise for me as I’ve only heard him read a couple American English books & didn’t care for the narration. Listened via Hoopla Harrison Memorial/Carmel.
