Haha sweet, I hope you enjoy it! Its one of my old favourites, I'm pretty sure I put as a rec last amazing race too 😂

Oh thanks! I shall give them a look and am curious for Lovequake. I'm aware of the authors rather unique/quirky writing based on trying The Tools That Ran Away a while back, so has me intrigued. Will see how feel as longer read, but going on tbr either way xx


Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 2042 comments Michaele since you already picked your book will you want recommendations from me?


Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 2042 comments I will wait for more recommendations before I pick.

I found it a pretty funny book - it's not my favorite in the series, but it is a good start.

Michaele | 6546 comments Recommendations for Roger -
Eagle Man and Mr Hawk by Dawn Sister - it's been a little while since I read this, but I remember liking it.
Smash & Grab (RELIC #1) by Maz Maddox - I don't usually enjoy shifters, but this was surprisingly sweet.
When One Door Opens by J.D. Ruskin
Family Camp (Daddy Dearest, #1) by Eli Easton

If none of those appeal I can try to come up with more.


Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 2042 comments I am leaning towards Family Camp but will wait and see what darkness recommends.

Review:
From best friend's to lovers. Sport romance. Gay/Bisexual romance. Sign me in.
I did have ups and down with this book. The beginning was good with engagement who was out of blue where we found out about Kelly and its mention of his love with his childhood beat friend. Then at some point it was meh and ending was okey. I did like how charcter vere made and some of his actions. Over all it was good read. Not the beat bat okey gay sport romance.

Task 7 - 23. Each teammate reads a book that has been read by one of the RRRC moderators. No pass for this task.

To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be marked as read by one of the RRRC moderators. There is no date requirement for this task, but the selected book must be marked as read and rated. Please include a link to the moderator's review or read shelf in your completion posts. To make your searching easier - Fran, Jane, Karen and I all read MM Romance, but Jane reads MM exclusively. Fran, Karen and I read both MF and MM.

Fran's profile is private, but I'm sure she will accept any friend requests. 😊

Another mixed feelings book, omegaverse are always hit or miss for me and this one was redeemed somewhat by Harry. Nate and Harry both being outsiders finding the way the dragon society works rather ridiculous in ways.

I hope that it changes across the series because the treatment of omegas, obsession with purity, wealth and such really annoyed me. Although not surprising as common in these type of stories.

I'm excited enough about Harry to read his story at the least. So will see how it goes.

MountainKat | 31599 comments Here is your next task!

Task 8 - 36. Read 6 books with animals on the cover.

Books selected for this task need to have an animal on the cover, real or mythical. Any edition’s cover can be used to qualify. Please include the qualifying cover in your completion posts. Shifters count, but must be in animal form on the cover. The depiction on the cover needs to represent the actual animal - so a dragon on the cover works, a statue or tattoo of a dragon does not.
