(view spoiler)[This one I considered boosting to 4 stars as I am weak for anything dance related. Add that Dane and Landon have a stunning hands on teaching moment in front of the mirrors, just all of the heat and that first glimpse at their chemistry. I was obsessed!

However the second half ruined a lot of what I enjoyed in the first half. Since it involved a deception and break up with a time skip, which is a major pet peeve for me. Also the fact they first sleep together, while Dane is planning to break up with Landon and he has no idea just ruined a lot of their relationship for me.

It just seemed unnecessary too as Landon already shown to be supportive and took him to the audition in the first place. He held my heart and I loved that he made Dane say it to his face, even if it hurt he deserved that at least.

I hated Dane for a while in those parts, just awful but made sense to an extent from his pov later and suppose had to have some angst eventually. But personally I wouldn't consider it low angst for me, even with fast pace and short read... They spend months apart with no contact, more time apart then together.

Still for the majority I enjoyed and Landon is my new favourite, which shocked me considering how he acts in the first book. It was great to learn about his family, why he acts certain way and trying so hard. The showing off and such made sense, he had a lot of character growth and i loved him.

The ending is so cute, gives a glimpse into possible future pairings and books. I'm excited to see the next story 💕 (hide spoiler)]

Review: A perfectly good book, just missing that extra oomph to be a great book. Ryker and Jared come from two different world socially and economically. The attraction is their in this rivals to friends to lovers book. I recommend reading it though it is not a book I will gush over.

Professor and student . Dom and sub. One out other is not.
Tristan and Sebastian meet during summer classes. Sebastian was at the beginning think very little of Tristan which is kind terrible because that was kind of his classes about not gudge people. But he did that with Tristan everything was okey at the end they had this crazy ass affection toward each other. Good thing that they didnt start anything while they were student/teacher.

One of rare book where I found both MC being bisexual. Almost always its Gay/Bisexual or ofc Gay/gay romance. So I was kind of happy for reading where they are both bisexual. Anyway I did like book mostly characters after all its character based book. Both of mc have kind of difficult past and are in pain but they find comfort with each other and it was just too cute.

Dragon/werewolf mates. Avery is omega and he just turned 100 years and on his birthday Warwick came to collect his money from Avery's father. Then he sensed Warwick as his mate. Since Avery's father didnt have money Warwick took his three most profitable business and Avery. Yes he took him too but his dragon want Avery so does Warwick and they cared about him and want him to feel good. Avery was put off at the beginning when he found out about arranged mating from his father but end up doing it in some exchange. I did like how they worked together and how Warwick treated Avery and his servants. He is poverful ancient dragon but he is not stick in the butt but respectful.

Laura - I thought I'd start with some books for you, since you're working on the rest of us :)


- on KU


on KU - this is by far the oddest book I've ever read and it is long (at least it felt long) so I recommend it a little hesitantly. That said, I'd love to see what you thought of it - approach with caution.

[Michaele]

I'll read I'll Be Your Man. Thanks Laura!

I'll try to come back later and recommend more if need-be, have to get back to work for a while...
