All Male 'Reviews' (leave a comment to enter the giveaway!)

I've read several really good M/M books as of late, so I wanted to share a few of them along with my reviews for my fabulous followers. If you aren't a fan of the genre, then you might want to skip this post from Tams. I have some really good Y/A and PNR posts in the history though, along with several giveaways, so feel free to browse, since you're already here!

 

First up let's visit with Andrew Grey for his 'Senses Series'

 

Caring for a loved one with cancer is tough. Doing it alone is overwhelming—especially when that loved one is a child. But ever since Ken Brighton’s partner left him, Ken has spent his days at the hospital with his daughter, Hanna, hoping for a miracle. Maybe the mysterious care packages that appear for Hanna don’t qualify, but they bring a spark of hope into his and Hanna’s tired life—and so does Ken’s neighbor, former singer Patrick Flaherty.

For two years Patrick hasn’t been able to focus on anything but the life he should have had. An injury robbed him of his voice, and the idea of introducing himself to new people intimidates him. But over the past months, he’s watched as his neighbor nursed his sick child, and once he meets Ken, Patrick starts to crave a life with him—a life he isn't sure he can have.

Ken doesn’t realize he’s fallen in love until the doctors send Hanna home, saying there’s nothing more they can do: Hanna will either recover or succumb. Ken’s heart is set on a new beginning—with both Patrick and Hanna. But Patrick's silence leaves Ken wondering what Patrick wants.

 

Tams review of Love Comes Silently

 

Howard Justinian has always had to fight for his freedom. Because he was born blind, everyone is always trying to shelter him, but he’s determined to live his life on his own terms.

When an argument with his boyfriend over that hard-won self-reliance leaves Howard stranded by the side of the road, assistance arrives in the form of Gordy Jarrett. Gordy is a missionary’s son, so helping others is second nature—and he does it in such an unassuming manner that Howard can’t say no.

Life is barely back on track when Howard receives shocking news: his sister died, leaving him her daughter to care for. Howard now faces his greatest challenge yet: for Sophia’s safety, he’ll need to accept help, but will he learn to accept it from Gordy, the one man who will not curb his independence?

Next up is the 'How The Light Gets In' series by Lily Velden.

 

He was like the only splash of color in a black-and-white photograph.

The man was beautiful.

At an exhibition opening in Sydney, jaded Hollywood heartthrob Jaxon Moncrieff lays eyes on publicity-shy artist Liam Lassiter for the first time and is immediately captivated. But he doesn’t get far into their first conversation before he realizes what he’s feeling is attraction, which brings him up short. Jaxon has always been a womanizer.

Despite his reservations, Jaxon makes a play for Liam, but Liam has his own issues. Unlucky in love and orphaned at sixteen, he is reluctant to open his heart to anyone, and dismisses Jaxon out of hand.

Driven by a need he doesn’t understand, Jaxon organizes a return to Sydney to film his next project. If he can’t be with Liam, maybe they can be friends. Of course, that creates a whole new problem. Now Jaxon is falling in love for the first time. How can he move their relationship from friends to lovers without destroying the trust he’s worked so hard for?

 

Tams review of Same Page

 

Hollywood heartthrob Jaxon Moncrieff and Liam Lassiter are finally on the same page: committed and in it for the long haul. Now they just have to prepare for the inevitable fallout when they reveal their relationship. Between Jaxon’s career and Liam’s need to prepare for a life in the limelight, they decide to wait until filming of Jaxon’s latest project has wrapped.

Unbeknownst to them, the relentless paparazzi photographer Rafael Cacciatore, aka the Hunter, notices a change in Jaxon and is determined to be the first to break the story of who has captured Jaxon Moncrieff’s heart. In the meantime, Liam and Jaxon have enough on their plate working out the not-so-little issue of how and when Jaxon will come out to his family. The paparazzi aren’t even on their radar. The race to out Jaxon is on, and Liam and Jaxon don’t even know it.

Next up is Kade Boehme, his book 'Don't Trust The Cut' was terribly beautiful, and I loved it!

 

Tucker Gray is a Baltimore, MD waiter, hailing from the deep south, whose mental health issues and past relationships have made it hard to trust more than the cut. After he hits what he thought was rock bottom Tucker decides to keep close to the ones who stood by him and keep his head down, until he finds something to prove it can get better.

Jesse Bauer is unsure what his future holds after an injury forces him to retire from the marines. With all of the decisions he has to make in his civilian life with all of its freedoms and possibilities, he feels staying closeted and keeping the people in his life happy will keep down the chaos.

Until the night he met Tucker Gray at a party he thought that’d be possible, but both of them are instantly and strongly in lust. As their relationship grows Jesse has to prove himself and Tucker has to learn to trust more than the cut.

And I'll end with Westbrooke Jameson's 'Unwanted' series. Oh so strangely good! Five short stories initially released one at a time, now available in one installment.

Tams review of The Unwanted

 

 

Three years ago, a race of aliens called Narsoreal made contact and gained asylum on Earth. In exchange for technology and medical advancements, the United States government allows the Narsoreal to collect and bond with the country's "unwanted" citizens. In one city, a Narsoreal bond-matcher has set his sights on a small band of male and female prostitutes in desperate need of salvation. Each of the five has unique needs, but it just might be that there is a Narsoreal ready and willing to meet every one of them.

SHANNON'S SOLACE
Every day is a struggle for survival, and Shots often feels like everything is out of his control. He longs for someone to come into his life and offer him some peace, be the one he can lean on, and maybe someday forgive him his past and love him anyway.

DEREK'S BLISS
His every breath a struggle, Derek attempts to live out the remainder of his life with some measure of dignity while also preparing his little family of misfits for a time when he won't be there for them. Then the alien bond-matcher who swept Shannon off his feet has a proposal for Derek: Bonded Narsoreal have been known to cure their matches of just about everything. Is Derek willing to bond with an alien to save his own life?

JOEL'S PROTECTION
The baby of the family at just eighteen, Joel feels useless, adrift, and like everyone's the boss of him. He jumps at the chance to match with his fairytale prince and live happily ever after. But though he's matched just like Shannon and Derek, Joel is still treated like a directionless kid. An opportunity for a hot public display of affection during a party just might guarantee that no one will ever think Joel's a kid from now on. He just has to step up and take one more chance.

AMBROSIA'S WORTH
Ambrosia is all woman despite being genetically male. She likes who she is, how she looks, and she's not changing for any man. Not even for an alien who's supposed to love her forever-if that's even real. To save herself from being alone and sinking even farther down the poverty line, Ambrosia consents to a match...only to have him turn tail and run at the sight of her. Proven right again about love being the real fairytale here, she decides to live a great life one her own. But then he comes back, determined to make their connection work, and Ambrosia has to decide if her stubborn pride is more important than maybe-just maybe-falling in love.

RENZO'S REDEMPTION
Renzo's bio-family life is...complicated. Amongst his chosen-family he's accepted as bisexual and, just like them, he earns his money on the streets. And, though his mother will take that money, she won't accept her son or his method of earning what keeps their house and food on their table. The local gang is also sniffing around again, wanting to control his income or maybe just own him. When he reconnects with his friends, he discovers they've hit the jackpot and he would definitely like to get some for himself. He just never expected his match could change in ways that would satisfy this bi boy's every fantasy and help ensure the family connections he's always wanted.

 



 



I am a hopeless romantic that thinks there's nothing sexier than a couple of men in love! All these books I've listed are love stories at their core, but there is a reality and struggle within to get to that ever elusive 'Happily Ever After'. But all of these stories DO have a HEA, so don't fret.

 

Now for the good stuff..................

 

Leave a blog post comment and tell me which one of these books/series you'd like to read and why. Have you already read some of these treasures? Share your thoughts in the comments as well. On August 17th I'll pick one winner through random.org and that person will get their choice of one of these books I've shared here today, compliments of moi'!

 

Thanks for stopping by, until next time!
