Always Eli - Charlie Novak
Forever Love Series Book #1
Genera: M/M Romance/Drag Queen
4★
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
NOTE: The 4 stars was not in any way about the book not being "recommendable"...the rating came from the length of the story that could/should have been longer...and issues that could have been better handled.


The cover might be a bit drab, but the stories in the "love" collection hold much magic. A great option for short story readers.

Bully & Exit - Brigham Vaughn - (Kalamazoo, Michigan/last few chapters in Chicago)
Midwest Series Book #1
Genera: M/M Romance - 4.5★
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...


Lady Tan’s Circle of Women – Lisa See – 4****
See based this work of historical fiction on a real woman physician in 15th century China, Tan Yunxian. What a fascinating woman, and a marvelous story! I learned much about the lives of the wealthier, highly educated class in this era of Chinese history, in particular the secluded lives of the women in this class. See gave us glimpses of the world outside the compound’s walls through the experiences of a midwife who lived in the town and was free to travel.

my review
See How They Hide by Allison Brennan, Quinn & Costa #6, and found the focus on cults highly insightful.

A great historical crime fiction based on an actual gang of female thieves. Had the final quarter been better, this would have rated even higher for me.
