Two Chicks Obsessed with Books & Eye Candy

Sharing our love of M/M Romance

Grounded by Teodora Kostova: New Release Review

February 12, 2019 by Denise

A chance encounter.
A passionate night.
An intense connection.

When medical student Shane Sanford and RAF pilot Greg Becker meet the air between them sizzles with mutual attraction. There’s nothing holding them back as they give in to their desire. But once their paths lead them into a different direction, neither of them can forget the intense connection they’d shared.
When fate brings them together again a year later, they have a choice to make: try and make a long-distance relationship work or let this be a one-night stand again.With war, tragedy and fear standing in their way, can Shane and Greg overcome the challenges life keeps throwing their way?
Is their bond strong enough to survive?
Is love enough?

Amazon – Kindle Unlimited

It’s been a while since Cookies (the precursor to Grounded) came out. Like almost 3 years a while. I had been waiting and it did not disappoint.

There are tons of military books out there. I don’t know if I have missed them or what, but it seems most are US military. This is set in England with Greg being an RAF pilot. He meets Shane at a bar and then again by chance a few weeks later.

What was so different about this book was that we witness this couple go through deployment and visits home, etc. So we get the highs of them reuniting and the lows of the separations. And with those, all of the emotions and feelings that go with them.

We also see the effects of PTSD while someone was still in the situation causing PTSD. War is destroying Greg. Following orders to bomb various places without regard to civilian casualties. His everyday job is giving him PTSD and he has to continue doing his job.

And even though this is the follow up to Cookies, there are parts that happened before, during and after Cookies took place. Again, it was different. And I like wandering from the beaten path.

All of these things together kept me really engaged with the story and the characters. The only thing I was missing was real closure with Greg and his parents.

Excellent book, you don’t have to read Cookies before this but you will want to because it is so good as well.

✨EXCERPT: BLUEBIRD DAY by @ryecoxauthor releasing November 16th!“You’re not wrong in what you said. Your freedom definitely doesn’t include dicking all around town.”Jensen snorts, and the lightheartedness is back in his eyes.“I have a feeling that’s not the kind of freedom you need,” I tell him.He nods and continues to wring his hands together. “I wasn’t the perfect boyfriend, you know?”“Nobody’s perfect.”“No one is,” he repeats, then adds, “He’s an idiot for ever giving you up.”“Because I’m perfect?” I tease.He shakes his head and offers me a small smile. Grinning back, I turn my body and reach out a hand for his. He doesn’t hesitate to slide his warm palm against mine.He’s smiling at me like we’re sharing a little secret. And maybe we are.We’re two lonely, imperfect men finding comfort in each other. Two practical strangers in a ski lodge filled with family. Yet right now, he’s the only person who can see the real me, beyond the disrepair of heartbreak and betrayal.In the past six months since my life has blown up, he’s the only person who makes me feel a little bit like my old self. The one without the thundercloud hanging over my head all the time. The one who hadn’t sworn off all men.The one without a broken libido.Because with Jensen’s green eyes burning into mine, a kindling stirs in the pit of my stomach. He’s not stingy with showing the desire he has for me, and maybe that’s what does me in.Being wanted.It’s a dangerous thing.I’m not sure who moves first, but soon our faces are inches apart. A breath away from doing something my past self would definitely have a freak-out over.Right now, though, it’s completely taken over my mind. My gaze flicks to his lips, and the kindling in my belly is set ablaze.#ryecox #mmromance #holidayromance The Author Agency ...
