Husky and Heartfelt by Jole Cannon
Rate this book
Clear rating
Husky and Heartfelt is a second-chance MM romance that, for me, landed somewhere in the middle. It’s not a bad book at all, but as someone who has read a lot of MM romance, it felt a bit lukewarm overall.

The premise itself is quite strong. Hugo, a mu

“Focus, Bernard!”
Naito Diamond

“Biorobots should not behave this way.”
Naito Diamond

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

“Biorobots should not behave this way.”
Naito Diamond

“Focus, Bernard!”
Naito Diamond

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
