Entangled (Love is Always Write)
by
Lex Valentine (Goodreads Author)
A rainy night brought him to me. Now, he sits nude, (wrapped in the smallest blanket I found) nursing a brandy and telling me his life story. Which I’m not really listening to, since I’m busy planning the way to make this straight buddy bend for me – or vice versa, I really don’t care, as long as we end up tangled and satisfied. Please, don’t think I’m a selfish jerk, beca...more

Adorable little M/M friends to lovers story with hot sex. What more could you ask for? Okay, in the M/M romance world, my het male friends; they don't need a woman to make it fun. Fine, you don't get it. It's a girl thing. The vast majority of M/M writers and readers are straight women, did you know that? I've been in the closet all this time...

This one was just okay for me. The much-used friends to lovers plot only works for me when it offers something a little out of the ordinary (to some degree a rock band has that), or if the characters are really wonderful. These two didn't have me overly enthusiastic. And yes, the sex was hot, but it lacked emotion and the sort of passion that I really like. Taking all of this together, I have to conclude that this one just wasn't for me.

It is hard for me to rate this one, because to be honest I didn't like the MC's.
I thought Daren was very callous in his thoughts/behaviour towards Wes, and Taylor's admission of what he did with Daren and Stone didn't make me like him either.
It might have been different if he hadn't waited 5 years to make a move.
And I could be wrong but no one knew about who Taylor really was? I can't imagine that being a secret anyone could keep with press and Internet all over the place.

3 1/2 would be my actual rating...
This one was short and sweet, which is probably why I didn't give it a higher rating. Lame, I know, but things got tied up and resolved a little too neatly and quickly. I liked the romance and loved the characters, I just wanted more story... I suppose that's one of the dangers of picking up a novella. It did make a great late night read though, so if you're looking for a filler between books, Entangled is the perfect choice.

Love is Always Write - Volume 3
Otro friends-to-lovers, tema que me encanta. Daren y Taylor son amigos hace 5 años. Daren está fuera del armario, y tiene un novio rockero, al que presenta a Taylor, y estos crean una banda en común.
Daren está durante todo ese tiempo enamorado de Tayler, pero éste es hetero, por lo tanto no le dice nada y vive infelizmente. Hasta ahí, la historia es bastante normal y parecida a muchas otras.

Hmmmm , not really sure about this one, I liked the concept and to be honest the opening couple of pages seemed quite promising but as the story progressed I found myself doing the questioning and eye rolling that comes when it all starts to get a bit far fetched! For a freebie its not awful but I don't think I'd want to read it again. Sexy scenes but lacking emotion and chemistry, I thought. 2.75* rounded up.
I always love it when unrequited love turns into unconditional love! It is a heart warming thing to read. This story was no different. It was also incredably hot and sexy. The only issue I had was how simple and easy the virginal penetration was. I am pretty damn sure it takes more than a brief 2 finger insert to prep for something like that. Other than that small incorrect description, I enjoyed this story a lot.
I really liked this short story about Taylor and Dare. Even as a short story (Yes, I know I'm not supposed to say that like it means something is bad) the reason I normally find short stories inadequate is because most of them aren't long enough for me to become emotionally involved with the characters. Not so with this one. IMHO that is rare. Good job and highly recommended
One star is for it being a freebie.
Unfortunately this does not encourage me to buy a book of this author. I found the story boring and sappy - the end was so WTF for me.
The dialogues were not good and the whole plot was basically a collection of cliches.
I don't mind some stereotypes in a story - it's more the execution here that sucked for me.

Good build up to a surprising friends-to-lovers conclusion.

This story made me laugh, made me smile, and even made me get a little teary eyed in a sappy good sort of way! I really liked the relatively angst-free nature of this story and loved that the author gave us so much substance around the MC’s happily ever after. I secretly hope to see some take offs for other characters from this story – they deserve for us to hear more. Thoroughly enjoyed this one!!!
This was a free read so it was pretty good considering it was free. This was a short story with a common theme of two friends in love with each other but both of them thinking the other was unobtainable. It was cute and I enjoyed it
I'm just going to point you all to Mandy's review because she says everything I want to say. Almost word for word.
~ yep, I'm being very lazy. thanks :)

2.5 -- I don't really know how to rate this. The writing was fine and all, I just... Daren was so dang flippant in the face of something that should have floored him. The deepest sense of anyone I got was Stone... and I mostly just ache for him. I will read the follow up because I desperately need him to get his HEA.
What a sweet story. Lots of sugar, but just what I wanted at the time. I never say no to this type of story. I love a story that makes you feel good when its finished.
3.5 stars
Wow! This one made me smile; loved Daren and Taylor together, while Wes and Stone were great supporting characters. Thank you for writing it!

An adorable read with delightful characters that make the simple contemporary premise move fluidly. This short story was an enjoyable experience.
Love me some rocker boys! This one is a friends to lovers scenario as well as some marriage equality kudos. Would love to see an expanded story of Wes and Stone sometime in the future.
Started out nice, but the end was too fast, too easy and really sappy. I love Happy Endings but this was too much.
Not bad for a freebie, but only OK...didn't get too wrapped up in the characters
An enjoyable read. Great plot and characters, I'd like to read more about the others in this
Some really lovely writing, but the story didn't gel for me. Left me a bit flat.
Pretty little thing, moderately hot, with strong taste of Earl Gray tea.
2.5 stars.
