Featured New Release Of The Week Anchored Hearts By Priscilla Oliveras

04-27-2021

Solid Slow Burn Second Chance Finding Yourself Prodigal Son Story. Think I got enough tropes in that title? ;) But seriously, this was the second book in Oliveras' hyper-sensual stories of established adults finding love in the Florida Keys (Key West, specifically) while being bound by their Cuban immigrant parents and siblings. Here, we get the sister of our male lead from Book 1 (Island Affair) and the boy we already

Blog Tour: Up In Smoke By Annabeth Albert

04-26-2021

For this blog tour we're looking at the latest book in Annabeth Albert's year-long tale of MM romances set in the hyper-macho world of "hotshot" firefighters. For this blog tour, we're looking at Up In Smoke by Annabeth Albert.

Here's what I had to say about it on Goodreads:

Another Solid Entry In Series. This is another solid entry in the series Albert has created over the last year featuring MM romances set in the hyper-macho world of western US "hotshot" firefighters and smoke jumpers - the front lines of any wildfire containment efforts. Here, we finally get smokejumper Brandt's story, and it is at least as good from the romance angle as any of the other entries in this series. Maybe even better, since it runs a bit smoother with lower angst, minimal separation, both equally hoping for the other's success, etc. Has an almost A Star Is Born vibe to it at times, though without the more depressing elements of that tale. But the biggest thing that will be hit or miss depending on exactly what you feel about it is the baby stuff in particular. Even as a childfree married male who generally doesn't like babies (older kids are much cooler, though I'm always grateful that I can leave when I need to :D), I didn't find the baby aspects *too* det
