Book 1,010: The Inside Edge – Ashlyn Kane

Geoff W

Book cover of "The Inside Edge" with Amazon Affiliate linkSo, if we’ve learned anything over 13 years of blogging, I enjoy most MM Romances tropes, but for some reason this past year I’ve been obsessed with hockey/figure skating romances. I don’t know why, maybe it’s that I’ve finally acclimated to New England, but they are just giving me life these days. This is the sixth one I’ve read in 2023 and I have at least 2-3 more coming before the calendar turns (but reviews won’t appear until early 2024).

Book 1,008: Out of Bounds (Browerton University #7) – A.J. Truman

Geoff W

Book cover of "Out of Bounds" with Amazon Affiliate linkThis is the classic jock and art/nerd student getting together trope, but with the added layer of said art student being the jock’s older brother’s best friend. Cliff, the jock, is a first year and making waves in the basketball world. He’s winning games and really making an impact on campus with his popularity. Brennan is the “failed” artist coming back to school to rekindle his mojo and find his inspiration.

Book 1,007: Outside Looking In (Browerton University #6) – A.J. Truman

Book cover of "Outside Looking In" with Amazon Affiliate linkThis is probably my least favorite of the series. Nathan is Eamonn’s ex (from Out of this World) and not only is he incredibly spoiled and entitled, he’s just a pain in the ass. Liam is an introverted loaner, recently off a breakup from his ex-girlfriend and best friend hooking up. There was a lot of unnecessary drama about Nathan’s mother that is what drove him to New Zealand, but honestly it just all felt so disconnected from the series that the book would’ve stood better on its own and not part of this series.

Book 1,002: Out in the Open (Browerton University #1) – A.J. Truman

Book cover of "Out in the Open" with amazon Affiliate linkI have no clue where this Kindle Unlimited book came from. I’m not sure if I saw the author on Instagram or someone else’s blog or (most likely) I randomly scrolled through Kindle Unlimited and saw it and thought oh university/college campus sure why not.

Out in the Open is the story of Ethan and Greg. Ethan is a second-year student with an itch to prove himself taking advanced classes and bee-lining his way to law school. In one of the classes he worked hardest to get into he meets Greg, a frat boy who is only attending the class because his dad is forcing him to. Needless to say, they don’t get along at first.

Book 1,001: Superhero – Eli Easton

Geoff W

Book cover of "Superhero" with Amazon Affiliate linkI kept going down the Eli Easton rabbit hole after completing the Nerds vs. Jocks series and stumbled across this in the Kindle Unlimited library. The blurb drew me in because childhood best friends to lovers is usually a really good trope, that’s usually with a gap in between after one comes out, but this one was different.

The protagonists of this novel are Jordan, a nerdy kid who loves to draw, and Owen, the big jock who becomes a state-wide wrestling star and has protected Jordan ever since he came out. It wasn’t until after I finished the novel that I realized some of the scenes may have happened when they were under age and that made me feel a little squidgy.
