Book 1,003: Out on a Limb (Browerton University #2) – A.J. Truman

Book cover of "Out on a Limb" with Amazon Affiliate linkThis book took a big turn for the series. I’m not sure if they’ll all be quite this disjointed, but I won’t be surprised. We got a brief interaction with Ethan and Greg from book one and a couple of others from later books I think, but no real connectivity as Cameron is a friend of friends.

Out on a Limb is a May/December romance with Cameron, a “can’t be bothered with relationships” graduating and heading to Hollywood senior, and Walker, a recently divorced father of one (Hodie) who’s tied himself to a boring desk job after graduating from Browerton.

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 931: Book Boyfriend – Kris Ripper

Book cover of "Book Boyfriend" with Amazon Affiliate linkAfter this landed in my inbox as part of a larger round-up of upcoming releases by Carina/Harlequin releases I jumped to request it.* Who doesn’t want to read a book about books and falling in love around the publication of a book?! It’s basically catnip for book bloggers 😀

Unfortunately, the premise was better in my head than the execution in reality. That’s not saying Ripper didn’t have two wonderful characters and a decent story, it just was a struggle to get into and stay engaged with until the very end.

Book 880: The Geek Who Saved Christmas – Annabeth Albert

Book cover of "The Geek Who Saved Christmas" with Amazon Affiliate linkYa’ll, I’m still not sure Annabeth Albert can write a bad book. I’m serious, she’s written books I was sort of meh about but they weren’t bad, they just weren’t for me and that’s okay. A few months ago I finally joined her Facebook group (Annabeth’s Angels) and have thoroughly enjoyed it and it was how I ended up with an ARC of this adorable Christmas romp.*

It took longer to get to than expected, stupid work, but as soon as I started reading I blazed through it. I want to note right off that I am so impressed with this ARC, it had fewer errors than many final books I read by self-published authors. I expect nothing less from Albert, but this was her first self-published ARC I’ve read even though I’ve read others via her publishers on NetGalley.

Book 829: Out of Character (True Colors #2) – Annabeth Albert

Book cover of "Out of Character" with Amazon Affiliate linkIf there’s one thing I don’t like about reading series as they’re released it’s all the small details I forget  between the books! I vaguely remember Jasper from Conventionally Yours, but only just. However, Annabeth Albert is the pinnacle when it comes to MM romances so when the opportunity arose I jumped for a review copy!*

Out of Character is the story of childhood best friends Jasper, nerdy gaymer geek with a heart of gold, and Milo, sporty problem child who hasn’t quite figured his life out yet. They stopped being friends when they were younger when Milo abandoned Jasper for his jock friends and Jasper held on to that hurt until this book. And I think second chance romances might be slowly climbing my trope list because this one was freakin’ adorable.
