Review: what happens when your nemesis.....really isn't your nemesis anymore. How do you take him out of the frenemy zone and is he flirting with you?!?!? What's a guy to do - poor Percy has lost his Aunt Abby and is having a hard time dealing with the loss of another loved one...everyone he loves leaves him including his recent ex. He certainly can't deal with Cal being nice to him or can he?? Man, this was a loooonnnnggg sllllooowwww burn. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it but a little too slow for me. I loved the snark between the two MC's - they were hilarious. Was sweet with how long they knew each other before anything really happening.

Week 2How To Save A Life
Date Read: 9/21/17
Rated 4 stars
Nice to be back in Mad Creek. This time with Sammy and Rav.
Rav has followed Sammy to MAd Creek because when he was a dog, Rav recognized something in the dogs eyes.
Interesting story. Quite funny in places. Sammy was so naive.
I hope there might be further books.

Well, that was just the cutest! I've loved this whole series. It's such good adorable fluff reading. Sammy was a little too juvenile at times. But it wasn't enough to keep me from loving their story.

I don't even know how many times I've re-read this. But I still love it. Nate is just such a fun character and his family & friends are equally interesting. Dreo is a mystery for much of the book, but we do get to know about him through the course of the book.

Review: I enjoyed the world building and characters. The camaraderie among the men was believable. I had to chuckle with Kendras' reaction to being betrothed, lol. Loved Kendras and how he just kept keeping on. I'm wondering how well Kendras will deal with the politics coming his way.

It took me a little time to get into this book but that might be me being in a bit of a funk rather than the book itself.
I enjoyed the mystery, although you really knew who did it from the beginning, I liked Jackson and Ellery together I think its going to be good reading book 2 to see what happens next.

Week 4Complete Faith
Read 9/30/17
4 stars
It had been quite a while since I read book 1 but I did not have any problems picking up the story.
This story focuses on Tommy and Noah. Tommy is still in the closet and 23 and a virgin. Noah is the pastor of the local church.
It was nice to be back with the men on the ranch after the troubles in book 1.
I did think it was funny the way Tommy went from virgin to virtually wanting sex every minute.
A nice story though.
I finished my Redhead book. I'll get my completion post up tomorrow.

Do I read Imago for Option 1 or That Alien Feeling for Option 2?"
I loved both.
Imago is good but That Alien Feeling had me laughing.
Go with That Alien Feeling?
