Review: How to Raise an Honest Rabbit


How to Raise an Honest Rabbit
How to Raise an Honest Rabbit by Amy Lane

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



How to Raise an Honest Rabbit is Jeremy´s story. How he grows into and honest man, and learns that even tho he has a past that he is not proud of that doesn´r have to determine his future.
And along the way, comes Aiden. To hold him, and help him become the man Aiden knows Jeremy can be. The man that will own his heart.
Absolutely adorable, sweet, angsty.
A total bonus, we get more Rance Crawford. His "coming out" scene is a highlight.
As a whole the Knitting series is a great collection, with charming love stories for everyone to get their happy ending.

Review: Something Like Winter


Something Like Winter
Something Like Winter by Jay Bell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Something Like Winter is one of those books that makes me wish my English was better and I could be more articulate and eloquent about it.
As it stand, I will do my best with what I have.
When I read [b:Something Like Summer|10213367|Something Like Summer|Jay Bell|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1294956195s/10213367.jpg|15086656], it feels like a lifetime ago, was one of the first M/M books I ever read. I remember liking it, I remember Ben & Jace's love story and wanting them to be together till the end.
Ben's book was a romance, pure and simple.
Now Tim's book was so much more!
Something Like Winter is Tim's story, the same as Ben with told from a new point of new, with new eyes.
Everything Tim did makes so much sense now. Not that it didn't before but seeing it in first person was absolutely amazing.
I cried and cried. And I wanted to hug Tim, so much.
It was so easy for me to go back to these characters I loved so much.
Everything was in my mind, and it was hard at times to read because I knew what was going to happen. I didn't want their hearts to break, but I knew it was coming.
Seeing Tim's journey, his regrets, the lessons learned in the hard way, his coming out...if I didn't love Tim before I would love him now.
How life will test you to the limit, and how you have to make choices that will affect not only you but the ones around you.
Tim learns to be brave, I lesson Ben tried to teach him when he was still a teen. But I guess Tim just wasn't ready.
I have to make a separate note for Eric. This character that we never got to see in SLS, the mysterious man behind Tim's money. Getting to know Eric was without a doubt a highlight in Something Like Winter. Their relationship, their love for each other, was so strong.
And the fact that even without being intimate Eric manage to be the closest person to Tim's heart (apart from Ben of course) A love so pure, that help Tim come out of his shell and work hard to be the man Eric knew he could be.
Even Marcello is a likeable character. I despise Ryan, all over again. But he had a purpose in this story and it worked. Allison was as adorable now as she was before, and it was nice to see how they interact.
I loved the Prologue, and Im glad Jay still gave us a little glimpse into their future. Happy couples are boring (maybe) but we still want to see them live HEA.
After everything these two went trough is the least they deserved.
I am ready to read it again! Crazy, I know.
If you haven't read Something Like Summer yet, please do so before joining Tim in Something Like Winter, it will all make more sense that way.
THANK YOU, Jay! for giving us Tim's story...such an incredible journey.

Review: 72 Hours


72 Hours
72 Hours by Clare London

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



WOW! never s dull moment with these two amazing characters.
Tanner and Niall have some serious communication issues, that puts them is a very uncomfortable situation.
Forced to be together after months apart, they will have to talk about their past even if they don´t want to.
But, even if their attraction is a constant during the book, the main plot is not the relationship itself and is interesting and fast. It is not your typical romance.

Review: Power Play: Awakening


Power Play: Awakening
Power Play: Awakening by Rachel Haimowitz

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



There are still a few things I didn´t like about Jonathan and the way he handle their relationship but I guess we got to a point where they both found what they needed.
The collar scene was a major WTF! moment for me, the communication issues between them, I mean talk first, collar after.
And the ending felt rushed, all the loose ends tied up together in like 2 pages.
All in all better than book 1 and more interesting to read, more complicated scenes.
The writing is so descriptive that you feel the pain in your skin.

Review: The Party Boy's Guide to Dating a Geek


The Party Boy's Guide to Dating a Geek
The Party Boy's Guide to Dating a Geek by Piper Vaughn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



This book deserves all the stars!
I love it. The whole opposites attract theme. The geek and the party boy.
There isn´t a more perfect match than Fee and Ash.
Seeing Ash, the cute boy who´s never been turned down, struggle to understand WHY Fee was resisting him and how to work around his tactics to get Fee to go out with him.
I laugh out loud, literally.
And I want to hug Fee! So adorable in a very nerdy way...
This book has everything, is funny, is sweet, has just enough drama/angst to keep you going. But above all is about falling in love. *happy sigh*

Review: More


More
More by T.M. Franklin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I’ve been waiting to read this book for so long!
Finally arrived and took me two evenings to read it, enjoying every bit of it.
Ava Michaels is not your typical stereotype heroine. She is the average college student, with a part time job, a scholarship and failing physics. She has this feeling sometimes that she might be special, but it´s not something that really worries her. She likes her life, her friends, and her family.
Still she has a recurrent dream, a man chasing her. She feels like someone is watching her.
Caleb is appointed as her physics tutor. In appearances he is just another nerd, but he is the one that will show Ava how special she really is and help her accept who she really is.
They have a connection, there are moments between them but the romance is not the main focus of the book and I think at one point that makes it even more interesting. Yes, you kind of hold your breath for the kiss but there is so much going on around them than the kissing can be put on hold.
Ava learns that she might be part of a superior race, one Caleb is part of.
What the superior race was not expecting was to find a very strong minded, very stubborn your woman who will fight them for her freedom. A woman who is not afraid, that will challenge their order of things.
More has the right felling to it when it comes to paranormal, the characters all well plotted and developed.
I really enjoy this book, I look forward to read more from both Ava and Caleb and see where Mrs. Franklin will take them next.
