Auggie was adorable, a typical clutz, and I just wanted to bundle him in bubble wrap. His awkwardness was endearing and he would get so cute and flustered around Leon. And Leon. So wonderfully kind and tender. I loved how he saw past Auggie's clumsy exterior and fell for his clever mind, and his sweet and loyal heart.
What I enjoyed most about their story was seeing how they influenced each other, changing their lives for the better. Auggie grew from the timid, anxious man I met at the beginning into being more secure of his worth, and Leon allowed himself to trust Auggie with his heart and his business.
Getting Friendly was a hugely entertaining, light and heart-warming story. Guaranteed to make your hearts smile.
This book was an absolutely delightful story about crushes, friendship and the flush of first love... with a brilliant horror and save the world twistThis book was an absolutely delightful story about crushes, friendship and the flush of first love... with a brilliant horror and save the world twist.
The book is told from Emory's perspective and the author gave him a witty, ironic and humorous voice that made me laugh all through the story. He was so adorable in his crush for Connor and I loved seeing how their relationship bloomed. It was amazing, so heartfelt, sweet and sexy. They laughed so much together, they teased just as much as they supported each other. They also shared a love for horror movies and books... until their lives became a nightmarish reality that surpassed Stephen King's fiction.
Emory had to improvise himself first a detective and then, with Connor's help and all of his friends', find the strength to save the day. While gruesome and thrilling, the story never stopped being hilarious, with sprinkles of sweetness thrown in. I went through so many emotions at once and, especially in the second half of the book, Emory and Connor's cuteness together filled me with tenderness, while the story also made me laugh and shiver in fear and dread.
It was immensely entertaining. Sara Dobie Bauer's skillfully crafted a narrative that combined romance, comedy and horror in a way that humor always prevailed. Emory and Connor were utterly charming and the supporting cast was funny and helped carry the story forward. I never had a boring moment reading this and I absolutely recommend it.

Even if it has a short page count, Nell Iris managed to make it feel like a fully fleshed out storyline, in a way that helped me really know Peter and Isak, with their pasts, present and hopes for their future. I felt the magic of their first meeting, the sweetness of their connection and made me smile at how cute they were together. And that epilogue...swoon!

Bobby J liked his life just the way it was. He had plenty of pickings for bed partners, so romance wasn't something he'd contemplated. Until Cody. The cute guy turned out to be a tempting morsel and Bobby couldn't stop from wanting more than just a teensy taste. I totally believe he couldn't resist Cody. He was so adorable and sweet that I would have grabbed the chance to snuggle with him myself.
Bobby J and Cody hit it off from their first meeting and their interactions made me smile, blush and swoon. They both had their doubts and I rooted for them. I hoped they'd hurry up and go get their guy, grab the man who filled them with fuzzy feelings and made their blood boil with passion.
Needless to say, I was smitten with Cody and Bobby J from the get go. They were the best fun and I enjoyed seeing them fall in love.

A super cute Robin managed to conquer my heart from the first pages. For an inexperienced young man he surprised me with how well ke knew what he wanted... or who he wanted. He turned out to be very mature, cool and sexy in addition to silly, sassy and quirky. And Dean, the older man, wasn't anyone to sneeze at either. He had his moments of simply letting go, showing glimpses of his inner goof, and I just adored him. It cannot be denied, these two guys formed a very special and gorgeous couple, so much alike and with a lot in common, despite the age gap.
I'm glad they got their happy ending and I'm thankful for K.C. Wells's magical ability to write wonderful stories. I really needed this light, sexy, sweet and fun festive tale in my life right now and I can't recommend it enough. ...more
For the most part, A Boy Made of Sunshine was charmingly light and funny. The beginning, in particular, was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing at LiaFor the most part, A Boy Made of Sunshine was charmingly light and funny. The beginning, in particular, was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing at Liam's irritation every time Felix got into his space or was purposely mischievous, irreverent and bratty. Liam was like a hedgehog, protecting his privacy and isolation, until Felix proved to be what the retired detective really needed in his life: the perfect boy to take care of, or to punish if need arised. And Felix, he'd never expected that moving to his new house would eventually mean finding someone to belong to and a home.
As always with this amazing author, this story is incredible. Felix and Liam's romance combines explosive chemistry, raw need, sensuality and a heart-warming emotional depth. I loved everything about it: all the feelings, the laughs, the sexiness. Absolutely recommended....more

This is a very humorous fantasy tale. The author has written an incredible unconventional dragon, because, if in other books dragons are big, roaring and daring, Fiora was everything but. As a matter of fact, he was small, awkward, reserved and self-conscious of his rather petite stature...and I absolutely adored him.
I'm trying so hard not to give too much away. I'm just going to say that Fiora and Deven together were incredibly cute. Both had secrets, both had reasons to not allow their relationship go beyond friendship. Yet, slowly, those pesky feelings of butterflies in their bellies and utter infatuation got the better of them, and love sneaked up on them anyway...even at the risk of heartbreak or worst, death.
Is falling in love worth it? Read and find out. Because this book is delightful, full of laughter, teasing, just the right amount of tears and drama, a surprising hoard and a swoon worthy romance... I loved it!...more
If someone should ask me which is my favorite thing about romance books, the answer would be the first touches, like the barely there brush of fingersIf someone should ask me which is my favorite thing about romance books, the answer would be the first touches, like the barely there brush of fingers. And the wonderful thing about Gay On A Train is that K.C. Wells made it a beautifully written story about firsts for so, so many experiences.
It was awesome to live everything through Lee. Since the initial lock of eyes with Daniel on the train, Lee's life took a complete, surprising turn. He tried for a bit to find a new label for himself, until the moment he realized he couldn't fight the fuzzies of excitement and warmth he felt every time he tought about Daniel. I adored seeing Lee learn that sexuality is fluid, and he described it in a humorous manner and also brilliantly sensorial. For him each new encounter with Daniel was filled with the greatest intensity, every moment highly sensual and electrifying.
I absolutely loved this book, every breathtaking second of Lee and Daniel discovering each other. They were cute, sweet and incredibly steamy together. I devoured this delicious treat in one sitting and I found myself smiling all through reading it. Perfection!...more

At the beginning, Jerry waGabe's way to see Jerry made me laugh, because it had one constant description for almost half of the book: weird and cute. At the beginning, Jerry was the weird and cute guy on isle sixteen, looking for ten doorknobs. Then he was the cute and even weirder guy who entrusted his home's renovation into Gabe's hands, to ultimately became all of the above with the added effect of being a constant feature of Gabe's thoughts.
Gabe had no idea who Jerry was, although the author made it pretty easy for me to figure out his identity almost from the beginning. Being in on the secret made witnessing their interactions more interesting. They were completely adorable together, both shy, awkward and undeniably besotted with each other. I was curious to see how Gabe would react to the revelation of Jerry's roch star status, especially when Gabe and his daughter Ellie got involved in a media circus.
The odds seemed against their relationship, but fear not, of course there's a happy ending...an incredibly romantic one that made me swoon. So, if you're looking for a story that'll keep a smile on your face from beginning to the end, Home Improvement is the book you need....more

Range witch Griff took pride in being a scowling, rude, mean brute when it suited him. It kept unwanted attention at bay, allowing him to be just by himself and only with the company of his equally mean, bad tempered guardian(familiar) horse, Walt. Traveling all those miles from home just to fetch what he'd expected a prissy, fancy, greenhorn dandy heir has only increased his fowl mood and filled him with dread imagining the ride back. But, the heir turned out to be the complete opposite of a snob dandy. Augie Ambrose, in fact, was unpretentious, earnest...and dangerous to Griff's peace of mind.
If I ever imagined someone to portray the saying "the bigger they are, the harde they fall ", I found it in Griff. Augie's sweet smiles became the big guy's kryptonite, and I laughed every time he went out of way just to keep the younger man happy. One look at those wide, innocent green eyes and he'd have done anything in his power to keep them sparkling with joy. Especially when someone was trying to dim that sparkle for ever.
Angie, on the other hand, was immediately attracted to Griff's casual confidence, stunning body and wicked smile. And he liked how safe Griff made him feel, how, for the first time in his life he felt wanted and appreciated for himself, as opposed to only being taken advantage of and ridiculed.
Their journey towards The Lost Ranch started with a first attempt at Augie's life, causing an overall tone of wariness and fear to their departure. But the close proximity also allowed them to act on their attraction, and while their chemistry was steaming hot, what I enjoyed most was their moments filled with tenderness, and the downright cute ones when Griff would kiss Augie's cheek or the latter would cuddle close to Griff's bigger body. Whatever gestures of public affection they might have shown were never met with censure or disgust, which I really appreciated... mostly because it allowed Griff to state his claim to the sweet man who has become "his Augie" and no longer only his boss.
I admit that books with grouchy, tough men turning soft and caring when in love are my catnip, and this one is incredibly well written, heart-warming, sweet and entertaining. The Wild West atmosphere didn't hurt either and the attempts to Augie's life and who was behind them added danger and suspense to the story. I loved Griff, Augie and their romance, the light, humorous writing style and the laughs, many of which thanks to the opinionated fourlegged companions. But, if I were to make an observation, if would be regarding the use of magic, or lack thereof, in the story. I wish the author had given a better understanding of range witches and their powers, and of Augie's magic as well. Apart from that, I found Ruby Run an absolutely lovely, charming reading experience....more

So, it wasn't only a matter of the two men trying This story was particularly exciting because Luke came back into Grant's life with two kids in tow. So, it wasn't only a matter of the two men trying to see if they worked as a couple, but also of Grant forming a bond with Mila and Jordan. Obviously, it wasn't easy, and hey had to find their way around enough obstacles. The kids were charming, Grant and Luke amazing men, and it was fun to see them eventually click together as a family unit.
Also, visiting the Joy Universe is always a delight. I can never have enough of its people, their interactions and how they care about each other. Recommended....more

You have muscled, in love with hockey Logan and the typical bespectacled, geeky Ned. By all accounts they shouldn't have anything in common, especially when Ned not only wasn't athletic but had no interest in learning about any sport. In addition, their personalities were completely different, Logan quirky and full of energy as opposed to Ned's reserved, tranquil personality.
Yet somehow they just clicked, and I had a lot of fun seeing their relationship develop as they spent more time together, from just a crush to love and happily ever after.
Recommended.

As first meetings can go, Doug and Tripp's was one of the top most hilarious I've read about. Maybe it wasn't that hilarious for the two men involved As first meetings can go, Doug and Tripp's was one of the top most hilarious I've read about. Maybe it wasn't that hilarious for the two men involved in the scene, but it did start off incredibly the high quality of humor for the rest of the book.
Doug and Tripp couldn't have met at a better, or worse?, time in both their lives, with Doug recently left at the altar and Tripp at the last treads of his relationship with Liam. So, neither was looking for a fling on the cruise and definitely didn't expected to connect with each other as strongly as they did. They'd only intended to spend time together, just to not be alone and lonely among the other laughing, joyful passengers. Because really, after the embarrassment of Tripp flashing his backside and Doug ugly crying on Tripp's shoulder, and with seeing each other at their worst out of the way, it meant that everything happening next was bound to be only fun.
And it most definitely was fun. When I didn't laugh out loud, I had a smile plastered on my face, because even when Doug and Tripp were having their moments of insecurities, or were questioning their life choices, the author soon followed with some joke or shenanigan... or with a kiss or rump between the sheets, just to lighten the mood. I liked the fact that, even while the two men enjoyed the romantic locations of their trip - and each other, of course - they took the time to look inside themselves, to try to build their self trust and consolidate their self esteem. It made it so that when they disembarked the cruise ship, they might have been insecure of the possibility of a future together, or questioning how long-lasting their feelings truly were, buy they never doubted how much they were worth or deserved. And, of course Doug deserved Tripp, and Tripp deserved Doug.
Honeymoon Sweet has a healthy dose of lightness to it, with amazingly weaven moments of sadness, introspection with fun, tenderness and the most steaming chemistry. I loved how Doug and Tripp found each other and how their relationship developed, and I absolutely loved every page of this sweet, funny and emotional story....more

But it did happen, and it was life altering to him, because that person was a man. I found it so incredibly sweet to see Mike's first impactful look at Beau turn into a full blown crush. His feelings were confusing and exhilarating at the same time, bringing forth doubts while making all his senses alight and overly sensitive.
But what I appreciated most about this story was Mike's wonder at how strongly he felt, at the jittery excitement he was going through for the first time in his life. He had to reevaluate the way he saw his future and sexuality, of course, which was hard, and I cheered when he realized that most of all, the cared about pursuing a relationship with Beau. And I loved seeing that Beau answered with the same powerful emotions, equally nervous and hopeful. He was older and experienced, and he treated Mike with patience and tenderness. I enjoyed witnessing each of their tentative touches, every new step forward into their relationship, their incredible connection and steamy chemistry.
This was a amazingly written romance. With some secrets and mystery thrown in, a bit of drama and a whole lot of humor, it kept me intrigued and entertained from beginning to the end. Loved it....more

I was completely charmed by Roman, and could just picture how adorable he must have been with his fluffy hair, old fashioned hats and his mannerism.

This book is so,so much fun.Mark's way of describing his woes is hilarious and I don't remember the last time I laughed so much as I did while readingThis book is so,so much fun.Mark's way of describing his woes is hilarious and I don't remember the last time I laughed so much as I did while reading his story.
Mark is,by his own definition, "a mumbling fool consumed by misfortune ". A 39 years old,accidents prone paper pusher,he's resigned to having a boring existence with only one passion:tea. But then Bradley comes into his life. The beautiful Aussie is sweet,kind,fun-loving and turns Mark's dull life into a sunny,joyful one.
Watching Mark get swept off his feet is amazingly entertaining, although there's also a slightly sad undertone to the story. Mark has given up on all his dreams and now he's settled in his monotonous ways. That's why wanting Bradley has an earth shattering impact to his soul,and it's disheartening to see how scared he is of giving a chance to new beginnings or how terrified he is of falling in love. But...fall in love he did,and let me tell you,watching it happen is a delightful experience: at times comical and at times sweet,absurd,light-hearted and silly.
Love&Tea Bags is awesome, each phrase,each page made me cry with laughter and the characters are so cute,kind-hearted, witty and funny that I'm definitely and irrevocably enamoured with them.
