Book 1,026: Snow Way in Hell (Snow Way in Hell #1) – Charlie Novak

Geoff W

Book cover of "Snow Way in Hell" with Amazon Affiliate linkI read this because Novak’s novel Up to Snow Good caught my attention and I realized this came first and introduced some of the characters in the second, so figured why not. Plus, when you add in it’s a short story/novella and it includes a protagonist of color, I grabbed it and blazed through it.

Snow Way in Hell is the story of Tarquin, a PhD pursuing academic, and his older brother, Max’s best friend, George, an Olympic snowboarder. Max drags them and a couple of asshat friends (thankfully they bail pretty quickly) on a three-day mess of a vacation.

Book 1,024: Planes, Trains, and Hurricanes – Eli Easton

Geoff W

Book cover of "Planes, Trains, and Hurricanes" with Amazon Affiliate link.I grabbed this one over winter break from Kindle Unlimited, because I wanted to read a MM Holiday Romance and Eli Easton is one of those MM Romance authors who writes good stories, they’re not the best, but I do enjoy them. And growing up in the hurricane belt (Southeastern NC) I was interested in finding out WTF was happening in this novel.

Planes, Trains, and Hurricanes is the story of Joe, NYC hotshot with a rich future father in law trying to navigate the world of money having grown up relatively poor, and Remy, a southern do-gooder who has dedicated his time to educating and housing orphans and making the world a better place in general.

Book cover of "Long Time Coming"I’m not sure how I stumbled across this one, it was probably a random email from Prolific Works that I just happened to actually open and they happened to profile a MM Romance novel in it.

It’s the story of Chase, a news anchor, and Ashton, a nonprofit CEO, college acquaintances who reconnect later in life at a gala event hosted by Ashton. There’s drama and office gossip and Ashton’s adorable kid, Trent, calling things like they are even when the adults won’t.

Book 992: The New Next One (Bethesda Barracudas #1.5) – Ryan Taylor & Joshua Harwood

Geoff W

Book cover of "The New Next One" with Amazon Affiliate linkIf there is one book in this series that I am not happy with, it’s this one. Not because it’s poorly written or anything, it’s the same as all the others. I’m grumpy that Amazon doesn’t allow for half-books in their series listing resulting in me reading this thinking it was book two of the series when in reality it’s book 0.5 of the series that tells us Nick’s backstory.

Some of that is on me because I could’ve (and should’ve) looked at Goodreads to see the series’ order, but I didn’t. So, I just blazed into this one and then immediately was like wait WTF is happening?
