Book 722: His Horizon (His #1) – Con Riley

When I saw this come through from Gay Romance Reviews I wasn’t sure about it because so many abs and self-published, but then I read the synopsis and was on board with it so requested a copy.*

I loved my time living in England, so when a romance novel set on the south coast with a little bit of mystery and rivals to lover story line comes around, sign me up. That being said, when, not if, we buy a pub and/or bed and breakfast in England (or maybe Spain, Tim and I are still negotiating on location) I will 100% be blaming this book. Okay, maybe not blaming, but isn’t that a picture: a book blogger buying a pub/B&B so they can read and blog (and of course interact with the locals/travelers to an extent) because of a book? Swoon.

Book 721: Forgive and Forget – Charlie Cochet

This was a weird novel. I checked it out because of the cutie on the cover and the whole baking thing (there’s apparently a newer, hotter cover on Cochet’s website). It ended up being an amnesia spy thriller romantic comedy serendipitous mash-up that mostly worked.

Joe owns a pie bakery in NYC and has a traumatic past and when he finds “Tom” knocked out in his garden with no memory, he takes him in and trusts that he’s not a crazy person who is going to kill him in  his sleep and the story goes from there.

Book 719: Wheels Up (Out of Uniform #4) – Annabeth Albert

I’m not sure if this is Albert’s first foray into kink, but honestly it was a little underwhelming on the kink front. The only reason I mention this and start my review with it is I feel like there was a warning or a mention of it in the front matter and I was like oh this should be interesting.

Maybe I’ve just read works with a lot more kink in them, even though it’s not my usual fare, but this one just seemed so tame. Either way, Albert continues to bring beautifully written character driven romances to my world, tugging at my heart strings will making me blush constantly.

Book 717: Mr. Right Now – Annabeth Albert

I had NO intentions of reading another Annabeth Albert book right after that, I fully planned to jump into Eric Cervini’s The Deviant’s War (or one of the other half-dozen ARC/galleys I’m trailing), but when I saw this flipping through Kindle Unlimited I of course jumped at it.

This is a holiday novella and comes in at just over 120 pages and I’m honestly mad at myself for not saving it for the holiday season so I’ll have to keep an eye out for other options.

Book 716: On Point (Out of Uniform #3) – Annabeth Albert

Hell-lo Sailor!

Although, are you allowed to say that if they’re Navy SEALs? I mean they’re still technically Navy right and that means sailor, but aren’t there also pilots in the navy?

That’s neither here nor there. This is the third installment, after Off Base and At Attention, of Annabeth Albert’s Out of Uniform series. It features Ben and Maddox, who we met in the last book, in a friends to lovers story that has been building for over a decade.
