Magpie: Lucy Lennox

OH MY GAWD.

Lucy Lennox is keeping us FED. Magpie was AMAZING. Kit and Robbie were just what I needed tonight. I loved them so much. 

• father's best friend
• age gap
• pining LORD, THE PINING
• down bad man who treasures his treasure

I loved everything about this. The romance. The yearning. These two were just so good. The settings in California and South Carolina, perfection. All the little details were great, and I was invested from the beginning.

While this does feature side characters from other stories by Lennox, you can absolutely enjoy on it's own. This is definitely gonna be a reread for me. I loved the devotion. I loved that it wasn't easy and perfect. Kit wasn't perfect and neither was Robbie. But they were perfect for each other!


Thoughts just for this blog, and you, if you're reading this FEARURING SPOILERS:

The sex scenes were good, and perfectly suited to these two and their story. There was a bit of push and pull from Kit, but again, it fit these two. Kit was so so scared of not being good enough for Robbie. Maybe that's the worry in his mind over the age gap? It didn't matter. I totally understood. I also felt Robbie's frustration. Just a dummy trying to make choices for the one he loves.

Also. The I love yous at the beach. My bastardization of what was said "I thought love was a whirlwind, but you're really the tide. Calming and grounding." 💕 "You were always my stars." I LOVED THEM.

A Midsummer Night's Fling: Kelly Fox

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S FLING was a shortie little novella that was available for the prolific works summer freebie giveaway. I scooped this one up so fast because you know Kelly Fox is an autobuy author for me.  First off, the idea for this story is epic. There are two conventions in the same hotel, and they very obviously do not go together. CHEF'S KISS. We were lucky to be blessed with the gym bros and the literature nerds.  All hail the impeccable jock/nerd trope. It's such a wonderful & classic choice. Always hits the spot like a diet coke on a summer day.  And Kelly Fox did not miss. There was a lot of story packed into 93 pages.  Gavin, our Shakespeare nerd, has an intense insta-lusty-eye contact vibe with Kai, the bulky & well-off gym bro-ey guy he ends up sharing an elevator with. And oh, their rooms are right next to each other. And oh! Let's go get tacos, and you can ride in my Maserati... sigh. It's what romance novellas are made of.  So, the che...

Kiss My Axe: May Archer

Image
This book was perfection. May Archer always finds a way to make her stories so incredibly heartwarming and hilarious. KISS MY AXE had me laughing and crying (they were happy tears.) Big moments and an entire cast of characters kept me enjoying the story, but the romance between Griffin and Beckett ... ✨️sighs dreamily✨️ these two were absolutely wonderful. How to share without giving away the story? • adorable "enemies" to rivals to lovers • quirky town and gossiping residents • THEMES and puns galore • a set of brothers who will find love • city boy marketing man/small town lumberjack • magical tree houses • matchmakers • town festivals • big moments • adventurous sex I am not kidding about the magical tree house. Beckett is a grown man but he is also a disaster gay. 😂😂😂 the man is an absolute mess and Griffin turns him into a lunatic. Griffin knew he was in trouble before Milo even left Vermont. Becoming dickmatized is a thing, Taylor Swift even wrote about it. Kiss My A...

Angel: Linden Bell

ANGEL is book 3 in the Camboy Network series. And boy, howdy was it spicy. You should know that going into it. In Angel, we get Rhys' story. One of the original four characters that kicked off the series. Rhys is the self-proclaimed "sassy" one. He's a camboy (obviously) and a pole dancer. At his parents' house for a birthday dinner, he reconnects with Angel, the very straight & very bear like exfootball player turned construction worker. Angel may be a big burly man, but he's soft and sweet, and the nickname "teddy bear" fits for a reason. The attraction is instant but confusing for Angel since he assumes he's straight. But he can't deny the need he has to be around Rhys. The conversation drifts to Rhys' profession, and the "gay for pay" conversation happens.  But let's be real. It was never about the money. Angel needed time to figure himself out, and Rhys spent all the time falling head over heels for Angel. While I l...
