Review: Just What the Truth Is


Just What the Truth Is
Just What the Truth Is by Cardeno C.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



3 stars. Very sweet story about a man just coming out of the closet. I enjoyed reading in Ben's POV, because he was, as he put it, bat-shit crazy at times. :)

Review: Bareback


Bareback
Bareback by Chris Owen

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



I'll give this one 2 stars because it did make me cry like a freakin' baby. I read this awhile back and never reviewed because to this day I still get ticked off thinking about this book. (which is kudos to the author, I guess)

The beginning of this book was good, though I have to admit, I started skimming the sex scenes. There is just so many. And then, of course, the big scene that everyone knows about happens; I'm sorry, I don't think Jake would EVER be able to forgive Tor for what he did. (and for how long!) And the reasoning on why Tor did it? Just pisses me off when I think about it.

This seems to be on a lot of people's favorites shelf, but I just don't see it. Not recommended unless your a fan of cheaters and loads of smexxin' before that.

Watching 'Masters of Horror' (though I've seen this one before) and messing around with blogger. I uploaded a really old livejournal banner that I made with a sexy cat!boy. (gotta love the yaoi!)

Really wish I had the time (and motivation) to play with photoshop more often. My skills are pretty rusty! Maybe I should do some fanart...

Blah, blah, blah

I started this blog because I'm such a lurker on other people's blogs (oh hi! *waves*). Thought I'd start posting about myself here and there. Not that there's much of interest, but whatev. ;)

So, I'm 33 and a voracious reader of m/m romance. I haven't read much m/f (or mainstream) romance in quite awhile. (The last one I read I kept wondering where the other penis was in the love scenes!) My favorite genre is cop or paranormal.

I have two beautiful kids; 9 year old son (we'll call him 'boy' heh) and 22 month old baby girl, (we'll call her 'baby'). Madly in love with my fiance. We've been together for 13 years. (yeesh!) Planned on getting married last year, but actually got preggo first, so that's been put on hold for a bit. I work at a family restaurant (with ice cream) as a supervisor, waitress, cook, all around slave to the dollar. I do like my job, but omg, you meet some crazy ass people working in the service industry. (which I'll blog about here and there)

I recently moved. We're now leasing a house...which I love, love, love. We have a real fireplace!! You can find me on Goodreads or on Google +.

Review: Wounded Cowboy


Wounded Cowboy
Wounded Cowboy by Jan Irving

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



3 stars. I'm enjoying this series. The characters are interesting and the smexxin' was hot. I did have a few instances where I wasn't sure which character was speaking at the time. I didn't connect with these characters like the others in the series, but I'm still looking forward to reading the next installment.

Review: Fairytales Slashed: Volume 3


Fairytales Slashed: Volume 3
Fairytales Slashed: Volume 3 by Megan Derr

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



4.5 stars rounded up to 5 because the good stories in this were just that good. :)

Rasnake - 5 stars (my favorite of them all)
Pretty - 2.5--3 stars. Started off good, but I didn't really like the last of it. The hero who changes also seemed to change his attitude (and not for the better).
He Shall Go To The Ball - 2.5-3 stars. Cute, but the just sort of ended. I would of liked to have seen what happened next.
Greenwood - 4 stars
Moth to the Flame - 4.5 stars. (this had some funny moments that were an unexpected bonus...the ninja's were awesome!)

Review: Destinies in Darkness, Part 1


Destinies in Darkness, Part 1
Destinies in Darkness, Part 1 by Scarlet Hyacinth

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



4 stars. When I first bought this, I just didn't get into it so I pushed it to one side (or in this case, archived it on my kindle and forgot I had it). I finally got around to reading 'Over the Edge' (the second story of this series) and thought maybe I couldn't get into this one was because you needed to read them in order. While you probably should read them in order, this could of been a stand-alone (by itself). I'm sure it will all tie together in the next two novels (You meet Keenan and Eric briefly in the previous novel), and I'm eager to see how it all does. I really want to know more about Jean Luc (and Aiden and the professor!).

I already picked up the next book and can't wait to read it.
