Sharing our love of M/M Romance

Freckles by Amy Lane: Blog Tour, Review and Giveaway

November 18, 2016 by Denise

freckles_600x900synopsis

Carter Embree has always hoped to be rescued from his productive, tragically boring, and (slightly) ethically compromised life. But when an urchin at a grocery store shoves a bundle of fluff into his hands, Carter goes from rescuee to rescuer—and he needs a little help.

Sandy Corrigan, the vet tech who helps ease Carter into the world of dog ownership, first assumes that Carter is a crazy-pants client who just needs to relax. But as Sandy gets a glimpse into the funny, kind, sexy man under Carter’s mild-mannered exterior, he sees that with a little care and feeding, Carter might be Super-Pet Owner—and decent boyfriend material to boot.

But Carter needs to see himself as a hero first. As he says good-bye to his pristine house and hello to carpet treatments and dog walkers, he finds that there really is more to himself than a researching drudge without a backbone. A Carter Embree can rate a Sandy Corrigan. He can be supportive, he can be a hero, he can be a man who stands up for his principles!

He can be the owner of a small dog.

denise review

OMG! The cuteness factor on this is HIGH!!!!

I love Amy Lane books and this one is no exception. Between Freckles, the cutest dog ever, and Carter being the sweetest, sincerest man ever, this book was made to be a comfort read.

I enjoyed how Sandy wasn’t put off by the fact that Carter really had no concept how to socially engage, or flirt, and just went after what he wanted, Carter. Meanwhile, Carter took a few times meeting to open his eyes and see Sandy as a person, and not a vet tech who was helpful. Then he was all in. Carter fell in love with Freckles on first sight, and did the same with Sandy…once he saw him.

This is such a good re-read book. Made to just sit back, laugh a lot (and between Freckles’ antics and Carter’s lack of awareness sometimes there is tons of laughter!) and just want to soak up the enjoyment.

And if you are a Johnnie’s fan, like I am…you might recognize one of the snarky side characters. 😉

Grab this, read it, and laugh it up!

meet the author

Amy Lane exists happily with her noisy family in a crumbling suburban crapmansion, and equally happily with the surprisingly demanding voices who live in her head.

She loves cats, movies, yarn, pretty colors, pretty men, shiny things, and Twu Wuv, and despises house cleaning, low fat granola bars, and vainglorious prickweenies.

She can be found at her computer, dodging housework, or simultaneously reading, watching television, and knitting, because she likes to freak people out by proving it can be done.

    This new book from Amy Lane is in my want list. I read her “Beneath the Stain” and immediately after I finished reading it I purchased a couple more of her work. Beneath the Stain had 2 elements I enjoy reading: MM romance and musician/band theme.

    Thank you all so much for your comments! This really is a lighter book than Stain– but I do hope it’s got a high cute factor 😉

✨TEASER: MY MERRY MÉNAGE by @lex.ambermm & @authorbecbenson releasing November 1st! Why you will love this book…❄️MMM holiday romance 🎁Established couple adds a third ❄️Cozy 🎁Very low angst ❄️Hookup Turns Into More 🎁Friends to LoversScottyIn my mid twenties an attractive couple moved down the hall from me and I was never subtle about my interest in them.On an amazing vacation fifteen years ago, I was lucky enough to actually live out my fantasy of hooking up with them and it was even better than I’d imagined.Shortly after, I met someone and we ended up moving across the country. Over the years, I lost touch with Joey and Patrick, but I’ve never forgotten that night with them.Now I’m forty, single, and back living in New York City. The last thing I expected after running into them was an invite to a cabin for the holidays or that their vacation hookup rule would still be in place.I’m definitely interested in reliving the best hookup of my life, even if I’m not sure how it will go after so many years apart, but there’s no way I’m turning down their offer.Looks like I’m packing my bags and heading to a snowy cabin in Vermont for what’ll probably be the steamiest Christmas I could ever agree too.My Merry Menage is a cozy, low angst MMM holiday romance where an established married couple adds a third to the relationship.#lexiamber #becbenson #holidayromance #mmmromance The Author Agency ...

The Lockdown Mann by Riley HartMy reviewRiley Hart can write a yummy football player.I loved that both main characters were Black men. I really don't think that is represented nearly enough. They knew each other for 2 short weeks one summer. And they both went on to be pro football players. We don't see it on page, but it is mentioned that their teams had played each other. But then Des moves to the other pro team in LA. Oakley plays for the other. And they have mutual friends. And Oakley is separated from his long time girlfriend and mother of his daughter. And they still can't keep their eyes off of each other.Oakley really wants to explore his bisexuality so he signs up for a dating/hook up site. And starts chatting with someone anonymously. Guess who is on the other end? MmmhmmDes has been hurt badly and Oakley still hasn't made his separation public, so they dance around each other a bit. Until they finally give in.In classic Riley Hart style, there isn't much angst, but there is a lot of heat, a lot of fun times and a good story. The conflict at the end was wrapped up a little too neatly and quickly, but it was still very readable and fun.3 1/2 pieces of eye candy ...
