I really wanted to like this fake dating romance, but I just couldn't get into it. I listened to this book on audio and I don't think it was the narrator André Santana. They were engaging. I just don't think I connected with Joaquin or Felix. I listened to this book twice, because the first time I thought I just wasn't in a good place to receive a romance between step-brothers, but yeah I couldn't do it. I know above it says godson, but he lives with her mother and I listened twice and I'm pretty sure it was more in the role of stepson. Joaquin lives out of the closet and Felix lives down-low. For me it just could have been the too close in the family at a young age factor. You read it and tell me what you think.

I got this book from my library. I love my local library and you should check out yours too. Request LGBTQ+ books and they will stock them! #freethebooks

I think this would make a great addition to a high school reading list. Diversity matters and Rae Garringer just brought a great conversation starter to the table.

This book can be read as a standalone. There are other characters from what I assume are the other books in the series with their current life updates. Spear lays down the groundwork for a possible future romance for another couple. All and all, it's a holiday romance so there is plenty of mistletoe and cheer.

Overall, One Last Shot is a sweet romance.

I really liked How to Help a Hungry Werewolf. It's fun and who doesn't need a little fun with their romance.

Hanukkah by Lesléa Newman is a must read for any home. It's a great learning tool for all kids to learn either about their own or their fellow schoolmates' culture.

The Hunt for Artemis is a clean sweet romance that concentrates on the friendship and foundation part of the journey. I truly enjoyed it. No worries if you haven't read any of the other books in the series as this can be read as a standalone. The author says they are taking a break from the series for now so this is the perfect time to read Hunt for Artemis.

I love this story. I laughed a lot. I love the romance and banter between Lexi and Will. The secondary cast is fun. This is your Fall read for romance.

Ares does a great job of creating layers to set up the next book. The ongoing changes and twists kept the story moving along. Love and Other Cages can be read as a standalone, but to get the full picture of the main characters I would recommend reading the first one before tackling this one.

Born of the Sea is a quick read with a glimpse into the past.

I just love everything about Honeybloods. I can't wait to read the next one.

Thank you to the Author for putting this book in #KindleUnlimited otherwise I could not have afford to read it. Thanks again!

This is a heavy read. It's about the loss of a close friend and lover and how no one has moved on. Get some cookies or whatever comfort food you need and get ready to sink into history, both personal and historical.

The ending actually surprised me and you gotta love that in a mystery. I have a new crush and his (yes “his”) name is Porter Beck. I can't wait to read the next one.

Overall Agony Hill is a decent mystery. Warren is a good detective to invest in. I'm a fan of Taylor so I'm looking forward to seeing where they take us with this series. See you next time in Vermont.

I love the illustrations by Daymel J. Garcia. They are bright, colorful, and engaging. It reminds me of watercolors and the colors change enough to keep a young reader engaged. The text is simple and the message is clear. Garcia explains why a bully may behave the way they do and why Onion Boy should ignore the negative comments. This section is full and done beautifully.

Chronically Dolores is written with sensitivity, humor, and the realism needed to tell their stories correctly. I freaking love this book and I would love a sequel of the ladies in their college years. This one is a must read.

Noah Grigni illustrated The Every Body Book of Consent. The drawings are clear and engaging. They correspond to the text perfectly. The characters are diverse across all spectrums.

That Prince Is Mine is a quick read romance filled with culture, humor, and steam. The perfect way to end the summer.

Knit, Purl, a Baby and a Girl is a little deeper than your usual Carina romances due to the pregnancy of the main character. It's still a sweet romance with a happy ending and we can always use one of those.

It's not often that I rave about a clean romance (chuckle, we all know how I like the steam). This one is funny, sweet, and relatable. Love at 350° made me smile and hungry (chuckle).

Victoria Vo manages to give Sarah and Petra a solid foundation, intrigue, and lust in just over twenty pages. This story is meant to be erotica and it does the job.

I liked this romance. I do know that this book proved me right: never go to your five-year-reunion. (chuckle).

Bronze takes photos of cheating partners. His current client is higher up on society's food chain when suddenly a body connected to the photos ends up dead. Soon after Bronze is in the hitman's crosshairs as well.

I rarely talk about language in my reviews, but when I do it always seems to be regarding crime noirs. Maybe they have a language all of their own that immediately entices the reader or I just got lucky with Colin Krainin's Blood and Mascara. I was immediately sucked in.

Blood and Mascara is a crime noir that will have you flipping the pages to see what happens next.

Fall for Him made me laugh. It also made my heart hurt in empathy and shared experience. Fall pulls on the heartstrings and the funny bone. It's a sweet romance to while away an evening with.

Josh Lanyon did an excellent job on describing the times and taking me on an adventure.
