Second Chances
This is a subject I’m very torn over. I want to say, everyone deserves a second chance. But when does it become too many second chances? Two very personal experiences in my life tell me that second chances aren’t always a good thing. I gave someone second chances, over and over...
Saturday Recs
Happy Saturday!!
At least I hope you’re having a happy Saturday. I am because I’ve just read a terrific book and THERE’S A SEQUEL! I’d heard of the first book and had always intended to read it but, somehow, never got round to it. Luckily, a few days ago, it popped up amongst my recommendations on Amazon so I got it and read it and WOW. I owe Kirby Crow a huge apology for leaving it so long to read Scarlet and the White Wolf.
This fantasy novel is set in a complex world where cultural mores, re...

Saturday Recs – on Sunday again
This weekend sort of crept up on me. I knew it was Saturday but forgot that I should be doing something special – specifically whooping about a particularly good book on my recently read list.
Better late than never, eh?
My choice this week is the first part of a 2 novel story that won Best LGBT Novel in the 2014 Rainbow Awards – Greenwode by J Tullos-Hennig.
Just look at that book cover!
I’m only halfway through the story – the other half is in Shirewode – but I am very impressed with it.
The pre...

New Release – The Red Sheet by Mia Kerick
Description:
One October morning, high school junior Bryan Dennison wakes up a different person—helpful, generous, and chivalrous—a person whose new admirable qualities he doesn’t recognize. Stranger still is the urge to tie a red sheet around his neck like a cape.
Bryan soon realizes this compulsion to wear a red cape is accompanied by more unusual behavior. He can’t hold back from retrieving kittens from tall trees, helping little old ladies cross busy streets, and defending innocence anywher...

Saturday Recs
Last week I was singing the praises of a romping sexy tongue in cheek historical series – the Magpie Lord by K J Charles – this week I am whizzing far into the future to talk about science fiction.
This week’s recommendation was plugged by Lisa Henry as being a good read. Thanks Lisa!
The Silvers by Jill Smith is set in two worlds. One is an ethereal realm on a far planet where life is incredibly simple and calm until a research team of scientists arrive. The other is Earth, not so different fr...

Saturday Recs
Another weekend, another recommendation.
There are times when I derive great delight in poking around the darker corners of the not quite M/M genre for things to read but there are others were I happily follow on with all the other readers in the pursuit of excellence. This is one of the latter cases.
K J Charles’s Magpie Lord series is taking us all by storm. Set in a Victorian England where Dickensian excesses of luxury, decadence, rectitude and squalor vie with the extremes of magical powe...

Saturday Recs – posted on Sunday!
Time for a very late recommendation. But since the reason I’m late is that I was READING I don’t suppose anyone will mind too much.
This week’s rec is a funny one. Have you ever read a review and thought ‘phwoar, that looks good’ but then had a good hard look at the book cover and title and thought “Yes but that looks like it’s going to be wall to wall erotica”? Yes, that’s what happened here.
The Naked Hero: The Journey Away by J K Brighton has all the trappings – broody looking nude with tat...
