Book 820: Treble Maker (Perfect Harmony #1) – Annabeth Albert

I grabbed this one when Albert shared an ominous “these might be leaving Kindle Unlimited soon” on her Facebook. This was one of the few series of hers I haven’t read yet (and honestly had been avoiding for some unknown reason). I also grabbed it because we randomly re-watched Pitch Perfect and Pitch Perfect 2 recently.

I’m not 100% sure, but I believe this was her first published series. You can tell she’s definitely grown a lot as an author since it was published. Her writing has matured and her stories and characters are so much richer and more believable.

Book 796: Cup of Joe (Bold Brew #1) – Annabeth Albert

Whenever Annabeth Albert releases a new book, I take notice. I don’t always read them right away, but with her being the one to beat when it comes to MM Romance novels that make feel all the feels I’m of course going to want to read them.

When she released Cup of Joe as part of the Bold Brew series focusing on kink-friendly romance novels written by 10 different authors and it was free on Kindle Unlimited I of course couldn’t resist. So here we are, and I’m not sure I want to be here.

2020 Year-End Recap

Goodreads year in review showing open book with total pages read (31,372) and total books read (113) in 2020Goodreads really is the worst isn’t it? They did such a good job with the cool graphics last year (see first photo) and then this year they just dropped the ball. And don’t even get me started on some of the ridiculous reviews on there, but that’s less them and more the users. Unfortunately, I still like them better than some of the others so I’m stuck with them for now.

2020 was a fascinating year. We all experienced the pandemic and most of us either didn’t read or read more and I was most definitely in the latter group. I set my standard goal of a book a week and smashed it out of the park this year! It is 100% thanks to the MM Romance spree I went on starting in April and continuing through the 14-book streak at the end of the year!

Book 758: Better Not Pout – Annabeth Albert

I grabbed this a few months ago when it went on sale and saved it for the holidays. I had every intention of waiting until December, but Thanksgiving happened and Lifetime/Hallmark movies started showing and I wanted more LGBT+ characters (I know there are a few this year but I haven’t had the chance to see them) and I remembered I had this one already so here we are.

The story starts off slower than many of Albert’s other works, but the characters are just as well written and the plot works for what it is. Nick, a beefy retiring military man, is cornered into volunteering with a local charity and meets Teddy, an over the top do-gooder, and fireworks don’t fly right away, but they slowly build until the grand finale.

Book 752: Rough Terrain (Out of Uniform #7) – Annabeth Albert

I knew I was going to love Annabeth Albert’s Out of Uniform series when I read Save the Date her military crossover with Wendy Qualls Heart of the South series and boy was I right!

I’m not going to spend this entire post waxing poetic about the series, but suffice to say the entire series was wonderfully written with great characters and engaging storylines. And this was a wonderful finale to the primary stories.

I’m sad that I’m finished, but only a little bit sad as I know I have SIX short stories that feature these characters to read at some distant point in the future.
