Book 946: Just by Looking at Him – Ryan O’Connell

Book cover of "Just by Looking at Him" with Amazon Affiliate linkIf I’m 100% honest I first was drawn to this book because of the cover art, a cropped version of Henry Scott Tuke’s The Critics (Wikiart). Tuke does water like no one else and they pumped up the blues and greens on the cover.

Then when you add the title of the painting to what the main character does for a living: mind blown. So THEN I realized this was the same Ryan O’Connell who created, wrote, and starred in Special on Netflix, and of course, I requested a copy.*

Book 941: Dylan’s Dilemma (Maine Men #4) – K.C. Wells

Book cover of "Dylan's Dilemma" with Amazon Affiliate linkOn my trek to get to Aaron’s Awakening, I continued to make my way through Wells’ series. I did get sick while visiting Texas so quite a few of these are going to be back posted as I catch up on things. I was a little disappointed in the series with the last installation and all I can say about this one is the same.

For me, the problem with this one and the last one is the character development. There were such strong characters in the first two books who grew and changed within their stories, but in Seb’s Summer and this one the characters were okay, but they just fell flat for me.

Book 923: Lucky Match (Hearts for Hire #1) – Raquel Riley

Book cover of "Lucky Match" with Amazon Affiliate linkNope. Unfortunately, that’s the bulk of my response if you want to skip the overall review. When this landed in my inbox I said yes and had such high expectations because the cover looks well done and the premise was a great idea.* Unfortunately, the execution was lackluster at best.

Lucky Match is the tale of Lucky McGuire, a cocky student who started a dating service near his college campus, and Hayes Brantley, his recently divorced professor who’s decided to lean into his bisexuality and date a man.

Book 847: A Prairie Dog’s Love Song (Clyde’s Corner #1) – Eli Easton

Book cover of "A Prairie Dog's Love Song" with Amazon Affiliate link"This is what happens when you see one book with a cute premise, One Trick Pony, realize it’s not the first in the series and then you’re another book and novella down a rabbit hole to read the one you really want to read 😀

Don’t get me wrong, definitely not complaining, I’m going to have to start tracking MM Romances against non-MM Romances so I can actually pace myself, but will I actually do that? No, no I won’t. CAN’T STOP. WON’T STOP!!!!
