Book 704: At Attention (Out of Uniform #2) – Annabeth Albert

Damnit Annabeth Albert and Boston Public Library, quit making me read these! [Maybe, sort of? I’m actually checking now to see if there are more I can request—maybe this is a little bit on me 😀 Looks like Arctic Heat the third in her Frozen Heart’s trilogy is available, if I must . . .]

As soon as I consider reading something that isn’t a MM romance the BPL pings me to let me know they’ve either re-purchased one of Albert’s books and I’m first in line for it or one I’ve had on hold for ages has finally come off hold. Seriously though, they need to limit me or I’m never going to stop!

Book 701: Staggered Cove Station – Elle Brownlee

Well my question about whether it’s the author, Elle Brownlee, that made Two for Trust so special or something else was answered very quickly when I started this.

Unfortunately, it is not the author, so the mystery remains. I’ve narrowed a few things down that I’ll get to eventually, but I’m still baffled at my obsession with Two for Trust. I’ll try another Brownlee novel later, I think there are more, but honestly I’m not sure anything will live up to Two for Trust.

Book 699 & 700: Two for Trust – Elle Brownlee

[I also read this again in February of 2023, again in October of 2024, and again in March 2025.]

Holy. Hell.

Apparently, this is the MM Romance novel I’ve been looking for. I had no idea it was what I needed until I read it, and then immediately turned around and re-read it again. I am not joking about this—I finished it in bed one night and then halfway through the next day I started it again and finished it in bed that night.

I mean, this isn’t even that wonderfully written. There’s nothing really wrong with the writing, but there are no surprises, the crises is laughable (miscommunication obviously), and the whole Cinderfella story line is standard AF. But OMG I want it all and I want it again. What is actually wrong with me? I am 100% debating a third re-read, but that’s just ridiculous right?

Book 698: Arctic Sun (Frozen Hearts #1) – Annabeth Albert

I can’t very well stop my MM romance streak, if the local library decides to repurchase/and or release extra copies of books I place on hold well before I started this streak can I? We’re all in agreement? Good, because there are more to come 😀

In her Frozen Heart series, Annabeth Albert takes us to the wilds of Alaska and it is worth it. She managed to capture the magic and vastness all while turning the heat up on a budding romance with two characters balancing mental health/addiction issues.

Book 697: Under the Covers – K.C. Wells

I’m not sure how I haven’t gotten tired of these yet—I usually have by the third or fourth book—whatever it is I’m blaming coronavirus and the brain stupor. (I mean I’m not complaining I’m loving these, this is just an observation.)

After finishing a review copy I’d held on for longer than I should, I grabbed a few more of these from my local library (thanks Hoopla). I stuck with books by K.C. Wells because I enjoyed the others I read by her (My Fair Brady and The Senator’s Secret) and then grabbed a couple toward the top of the list when I sorted by “most popular.”
