Book 993: Fire in the Ice (Bethesda Barracudas #2) – Ryan Taylor & Joshua Harwood

Geoff W

For book two (or book three if you believe Amazon and not Goodreads) we get to revisit Nick’s (from Nice Catching You first love, Tyler. He’s a winger/forward and has recently been traded to the Bethesda Barracudas where he’s come face-to-face with their younger teammate from high school, Kevin, a big beefy openly gay defenseman who has had a crush on Tyler since high school.

The story starts with Kevin and Tyler at each others’ throats. Even though they’re both openly gay (Tyler had a scandal where he got caught hooking up at a club at his last team) rather than being friendly they’re constantly trying to one-up each other and grind the other one down.

Book 991: Nice Catching You (Bethesda Barracudas #1) – Ryan Taylor & Joshua Harwood

Geoff W

Book cover of "Nice Catching You" with Amazon Affiliate linkI started this book on the plane home from vacation in the Dominican Republic. I wasn’t ready for vacation to end and had shockingly finished my school reading. I decided to check this book out after reading The Chrismukkah Crisis, also by Ryan Taylor & Joshua Harwood. I’ve always been a fan of MM Sports Romances so I figured why not give it a go?

This is the story of Nick, the superstar of the college’s hockey team, and Jacob, a nerdy third-year law student at the same college. They meet on a trip when the bus driver somehow flings Jacob through the air into Nick’s arms and the story goes from there. Of course, they end up having to share a room and fall madly in love with each other over a ridiculously short amount of time.

Book 971: The Christmas Leap (Festive Fakes #2) – Keira Andrews

Geoff W

Book cover of "The Christmas Leap" with Amazon Affiliate linkWe all knew this was coming . . . the MM Holiday Romance extravaganza. Honestly, I thought it’d be later but realizing just how little reading time I have these days and how quickly I got through these when they started to arrive on Gay Romance Reviews of course I started looking.*

I grabbed this one because it’s set in the same universe as Andrews’ The Christmas Deal that I read last year and thoroughly enjoyed. We get a brief check-in with Seth and Logan who offer some savvy advice to Will as he’s figuring stuff out because he works with them and they encourage the fake boyfriend caper.

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 967: Our Dreams at Dusk (Our Dreams at Dusk #1) – Yuhki Kamatani

Geoff W

Book cover of "Our Dreams at Dusk Vol. 1" with Amazon Affiliate linkI found this one on a list of manga to read after really enjoying My Love: Mix-up! along with I Hear the Sunspot. So when I saw my local library had a copy of this I put it on hold and grabbed it before our weekend away earlier this month.

At heart, Our Dreams at Dusk is a coming-of-age and coming-out story. Tasuku has moved to a new town and he’s been outed and has to come to terms with either being open about it or trying to continue to hide it. So this one is not as light and fluffy as many of the other BL Manga I’ve read.
