Book 849: One Trick Pony (Clyde’s Corner #3) – Eli Easton

Book Cover of "One Trick Pony" with Amazon Affiliate linkNow, a novella and a book later, I’m able to read and write about the book that drew me into wanting to read the series 😀 I first saw this one come into my inbox from Gay Romance Reviews, but ended up not requesting it because Kindle Unlimited is a gem and I figured I would be able to get to it in my own time. Well that time happened sooner than expected and here we are.

The blurb of this one drew me in with bad-boy Henry from A Prairie Dog’s Love Song having cleaned up his act and started working for Joshua and Ben on the ranch and his awkward interactions with Ben’s friend and former gay-for-pay (but actually gay) porn coworker Micah. I mean come on how was I NOT going to read this one?

Book 846: The Lavender Menace – Tom Cardamone (Ed.)

Geoff W

Book cover of UGH. I wanted to like this so much more than I did. I remember the excitement when I stumbled across it seven years ago at PAX East in the LGBT lounge. I guess I either forgot the premise or didn’t really read the full premise of the book so ended up slightly disappointed.

Don’t get me wrong there were definitely a few stories I very much enjoyed (more the redemptive ones) and there was some great writing throughout the novel, but there were some larger issues with the collection that may reflect when it was originally published (2013) and how far we’ve come as a society, and also the background of the editor (cis white gay man).

Book 842: One Man Guy (One Man Guy #1) – Michael Barakiva

Book cover of "One Man Guy" with Amazon Affiliate linkI didn’t plan to read this in an afternoon, it just happened 😀 Started it on my lunch break and then just kept going.

At some point last year, I requested a copy of this via NetGalley but was either denied or never heard back and as I was cleaning up my account I saw it listed somewhere and was like “oh that one did sound interesting,” so I checked my library and they had a digital copy and here we are.

Book 821: Love Me Tenor (Perfect Harmony #2) – Annabeth Albert

Geoff W

Book cover of "Love Me Tenor" with Amazon Affiliate linkPicking up not long after where Treble Maker leaves off we find Trevor (Lucas’ friend and acapella group mate) struggling after coming out to his family and being disowned. A production assistant from the previous show has invited him to be on a new reality TV singing competition made of boy bands and he jumps at the opportunity because it’ll give him housing for a few more months while he tries to figure out his life.

What he didn’t expect was to meet and then fall in love with Jalen, the assistants adopted brother who can sing, but doesn’t have the training of the rest of the group. Jalen has his own anger issues and spends the first half of the book antagonizing Trevor.

Book 820: Treble Maker (Perfect Harmony #1) – Annabeth Albert

Geoff W

Book cover of "Treble Maker" with Amazon Affiliate linkI grabbed this one when Albert shared an ominous “these might be leaving Kindle Unlimited soon” on her Facebook. This was one of the few series of hers I haven’t read yet (and honestly had been avoiding for some unknown reason). I also grabbed it because we randomly re-watched Pitch Perfect and Pitch Perfect 2 recently.

I’m not 100% sure, but I believe this was her first published series. You can tell she’s definitely grown a lot as an author since it was published. Her writing has matured and her stories and characters are so much richer and more believable.
