Book 708: Hotline (Murmur, Inc. #1) – Quinn Anderson

Along with Walker’s The Weight of It All and Throwing Hearts, I picked this up as part of my Kindle Unlimited download spree after Tim got me a new Oasis for our anniversary.

If I’m honest, I picked this one because it didn’t have the traditional half-dressed/watermarked/super-model handsome cover model on it. Even with the super-hokey heart as an “o”, I liked how clean and simple the cover was. And maybe more importantly, I liked that I got to envision the characters without constantly thinking their descriptions are nothing like the cover models (which yes, I spend WAY too long thinking about this).

Book 707: Arctic Wild (Frozen Hearts #2) – Annabeth Albert

I am rapidly running out of Annabeth Albert novels to read. Probably not as fast as I think, she has a few newer series and standalone novels, but I really do feel like I’m running out of the ones I would probably prefer.

Arctic Wild finds us back in the Alaskan wilderness, this time with Toby, an indigenous Alaska Native who works as a pilot with Griffin from Arctic Sun, and hotshot New York attorney Reuben. Reuben and his friends were supposed to go on a private Alaskan tour, but his friends back out and that leaves Reuben and Toby alone for the trip and the simmer starts to build immediately.

Book 705: The Weight of It All – N.R.Walker

For our anniversary Tim got me a new Kindle Oasis (so freakin’ fancy) and a Kindle Unlimited membership. I’d avoided the unlimited membership because of the rumors that it’s flooded with self-published works and knock off copies of popular works, but I am definitely going to take advantage of it and see if I can find out if it’s worth the rather steep price when I can get 95% of what I want from my local library.

My first stop, was of course MM romances because why not? I liked the premise of this one, a larger guy dumped because he gained weight and become complacent in his relationship slowly finding himself and falling for his hell-a hot trainer who has his own backstory. What I didn’t realize was that I had previously read a book by N.R. Walker, Upside Down, that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Book 692: My Fair Brady – K.C. Wells

I’m not even going to lie to you, there are three (definitely, because they’re already queued up, but maybe four, maybe more) coming to you back to back. And I won’t even pretend that I didn’t pick them because of the eye candy on the cover, I mean that’s why they’re there right? (I will diversify if I keep going into the series though—promise.)

Apparently all I want to read are feel good stories with minimal conflict and the Dreamspun Desires imprint of Dreamspinner Press has apparently got me covered for at least 100 books. I can’t promise I won’t read all of them, but I can tell you I won’t read them all back-to-back at least 😀

Book 688: Level Up (#gaymers #4) – Annabeth Albert

Who doesn’t love a meet cute involving a mistaken identity and shock factor? If you don’t, then don’t read this book 😀 This is the final book in the #gaymers series by Annabeth Albert following: Status Update, Beta Test and Connection Error.

The protagonists of this book are Landon, a bisexual university professor who is tangentially related to the characters in the series (and is mentioned in passing at a LAN party or two) and Bailey, a photographer from Portland, OR, donating his services for a nude calendar for charity.
