Book 970: Heartthrob (Honeywood #1) – Noah Steele

Geoff W

Book cover of "Heaththrob" with Amazon Affiliate linkOMG, ya’ll this is an author to keep an eye on. That’s not something I usually say when it comes to a self-published author I come across via Gay Romance Reviews.*

More often than not I’m complaining about the quality of either the story, the writing, or the editing (or all three or some combination), and don’t get me wrong there were a few issues with this one but Steele can definitely write and I’m already looking at his back catalog to see what I want to read next.

Book 968: Henry Hamlet’s Heart – Rhiannon Wilde

Geoff W

Book cover of "Henry Hamlet's Heart" with Amazon Affiliate linkI picked this review copy up a while ago and due to school and work being a bit much recently, I’m posting this almost two weeks late.* I really try to have my responses published the week of publication but that week was also the week my first big paper was due, which I did great on, but still better luck next time.

Henry Hamlet’s Heart is the story of Henry and Len, best friends that have been in each others’ orbit forever. Henry has existed as the non-sexual know-it-all brainiac and Len has existed as the sexually fluid footballer who does what he wants when he wants with whoever he wants.

Book 964: The 99 Boyfriends of Micah Summers – Adam Sass

Geoff W

Book cover of "The 99 Boyfriends of Micah Summers" with Amazon Affiliate linkI requested and received this up back in June in a NetGalley binge when I went through and looked at all the upcoming Young Adult LGBT fiction.* I loved the cover and the concept so thought why not? I missed the review deadline by a few weeks even though I started it with plenty of time. Thanks, school and life for getting in the way.

This is the story of Micah, Grant, and Elliot. Micah is the protagonist who has a really popular Insta account where he draws fantastical versions of the boys he crushes on around Chicago. One of those boys ends up being Grant and the first half of the story is Micah trying to find Grant again, his Cinderfella who disappeared off the train. He’s joined by his BFF’s other BFF Elliot, who has his issues but brings joy, light, and support to Micah’s journey.

Book 962: Art Therapy (Rooms for Romance #1) – Tag Gregory

Geoff W

Book Cover of "Art Therapy" with Amazon Affiliate linkWhen this one landed in my inbox I wasn’t 100% sold on it but when I realized Gregory took a hotel I’d stayed at (Kennedy School in Portland, OR) and turned it into a romance novel I decided I had to read it.*

This is the story of Jayce and Ryan. Jayce suffered a stroke and some brain injuries that haven’t affected his mental capacity but have affected his speech and ability to do certain things including slowing down the art he does for the hotel as part of a rehabilitation/work program, and Ryan is a hot shot sex machine that’s been brought in to help with PR for the launch of the new hotel.

Book 961: Levi’s Love (Maine Men #7) – K.C. Wells

Geoff W

Book cover of "Levi's Love" with Amazon Affiliate linkFinally! The culmination of six books and we have every store of the group of friends 😀 Honestly, it wasn’t that long of a wait, but you know I snapped this up the second it appeared in my inbox.*

This final installment of Wells’ Maine Men series gives us the story of the remaining two singles in the group of friends: Levi, the pining virgin abandoned by his mother and raised by Grammy who created a home and a safe space for the band of friends, and Noah, obsessed with trains who thought he was asexual (but ends up demisexual) and was oblivious to Levi’s unrequited love.
