“Sequel Lives Up to Great Original!” Review of Training Complex by Leta Blake #gay

“I was so excited to read more Matty and Rob, and this book did not disappoint. I was up half the night finishing it! It was great getting Rob’s POV (along with Matty’s), and seeing Rob have his own struggles while he tries to always be so strong for Matty, who is such a memorable and unique character. Even when they have problems, I always know things will be okay in the end because they love each other so much. I really hope there will be a third book as they continue their life together!”

BIKE BOOK REVIEWS!!: THIS CHARMING MAN REVIEW! @flickerjax #gay #amreading

“I just love a book that grabs you from the start, and the way this book starts, holy crap, you can’t help but know it is gonna be a hell of a ride! My first impression of Steven was that he was more than the club scene, and more than his best friend Adrian made him out to be. It is an author with real talent that can make you know that about a man in just a few chapters!

You will love this book friends, it is a story of one man’s determination to be more and better to prove to the man he is enthralled with that he is worth it! Thanks Ajax, for giving us a book that proves we can be who we want with a little effort and love!”

Blurb: To live through the zombie apocalypse they have to survive each other first.

College freshman Parker Osborne is having the worst day ever. He humiliated himself trying to pick up a cute guy, he hasn’t made any friends at school, and his stupidly hot jerk of a TA gave him a crappy grade on his paper. He’s going to drop Adam Hawkins’ film class and start fresh tomorrow after he’s had a good sulk.

But Parker’s about to find out what a bad day really looks like—if he can survive the night.

A virus is unleashed, transforming infected people into zombie-like killers. After these quick and deadly creepers swarm campus, Parker only escapes thanks to Adam swooping him onto the back of his trusty motorcycle. Now they’re on the run—and stuck with…

“Incredibly Satisfying Sequel!” review of Training Complex by Leta Blake #mmromance #gay

“Matty and Rob are back! Matty and Rob are back!!” I literally said that out loud when I heard there was a sequel in the works favorite book of 2014, Training Season. I just could not love these characters any more than I already do. Even more now that I’ve read the sequel Training Complex.

If you liked the first book, you owe it to yourself to read this sequel to see how the boys make it to their HEA. If you loved the first book, you’re probably already reading/read it. I HIGHLY recommend this one and am deliriously happy!”

NEW RELEASE: Training Complex by Leta Blake! Buckle Up! Matty’s Back! #mmromance #gay

Almost a year ago, Matty Marcus showed up in my head again looking pretty and saying, “Hey, I have a really fun idea for a novella! Wanna write it for me? It’ll be easy, fast, hilarious and you’ll have no regrets! I promise!”

Matty Marcus? He’s a little bit of a liar, guys.

The book turned out to be pretty intense and it required a lot of work. Not to mention it’s 121,000 words long! Far from a novella! More like a longish novel! But the good news is that I persevered and I’m pleased to report that Matty Marcus got his book! Yep! It’s officially released into the world!

It’s a little big thing called TRAINING COMPLEX and you can buy it now!

The River Leith by Leta Blake Kindle Unlimited Term Ends May 12! Borrow now! #mmromance #amreading

On May 12, The River Leith‘s term with Kindle Unlimited ends. I’ve decided not to renew the book for another term at this time, so this is your last chance for a while to borrow and read the book (um, if you hurry!) before it’s removed from KU! :D Head on over and cram this relatively short book in to your reading schedule before it’s time is up! :D

5 STARS. WOW. Just wow. I totally read this book in 1 sitting. It was just. Ugh. I loved it so hard. I couldn’t have spent a finer Sunday morning with the birds and my coffee. Well worth the 3.99. WELL WORTH IT. ~ Slits Read Reviews
The River Leith is a FANTASTIC book. It will immediately grab you, and hold you, and you won’t want the ride to end. ~ The Novel Approach Reviews
The River Leith is a delight: devastating, hopeful, sexy, romantic, and true. Leta Blake is fast becoming one of the most exciting new voices in the romance genre. ~ Hayley, I’m With Geek Reviews
I loved that this wasn’t a story of miracle cure but a journey of two men realising what is important in building a future. This may not be textbook amnesia treatment, but that wasn’t really important. What was important was the emotional connection I felt to the characters. I enjoyed the story from beginning to end. ~ Queer Town Abbey Reviews
Raw, beautiful, lyrical, painful, sensual, hopeful. This author gets inside all of it and then lays it open, exposed, for us. The writing. The dialogue. The characters. The love. They’re all here. I recommend this to everyone. ~ Prism Book Alliance Reviews

“Leta Blake’s writing sort of leaves me speechless.” Review of Training Season #gay #romance

“Leta Blake’s writing sort of leaves me speechless. Her story crafting is phenomenal, and I adore her characters. The emotions evoked are raw and real, and if you’re thinking of forging into the world of m/m romance, or are already a fan, I’d highly suggest giving this one or Smoky Mountain Dreams a read.”

“Not your typical amnesia story!” 4.5 Stars | Review of The River Leith #mmromance #gay

“I don’t normally get emotional with books, but I almost felt drowned after this book. I have a bit of a hangover from it. Great characters…Leith and Zach are beautiful people, and theirs is a great story. It was not your typical amnesia story. I think it even could’ve been drawn out a bit more, actually, but wonderfully written and I highly recommend!”

Memory is everything.
After an injury in the ring, amateur boxer Leith Wenz wakes to discover his most recent memories are three years out of date. Unmoored and struggling to face his new reality, Leith must cope anew with painful revelations about his family. His brother is there to support him, but it���s the unfamiliar face of Zach, a man introduced as his best friend, that provides the calm he craves. Until Zach���s presence begins to stir up feelings Leith can���t explain.
For Zach, being forgotten by his lover is excruciating. He carefully hides the truth from Leith to protect them both from additional pain. His bottled-up turmoil finds release through vlogging, where he confesses his fears and grief to the faceless Internet. But after Leith begins to open up to him, Zach’s choices may come back to haunt him.
Ultimately, Leith must ask his heart the questions memory can no longer answer.
