Two Chicks Obsessed with Books & Eye Candy

Sharing our love of M/M Romance

Honey from the Lion by Jackie North: New Release Review

October 13, 2018 by Denise

Soulmates across time. A love that was meant to be.

In present day, Laurie, tired of corporate life, takes a much-needed vacation at Farthingdale Dude Ranch.

The very first night a freak blizzard combined with a powerful meteor shower takes Laurie back to the year 1891. When he wakes up in a snowbank, his only refuge is an isolated cabin inhabited by the gruff, grouchy John Henton, who only wants to be left alone. His sense of duty prevails, however, and he takes Laurie under his care, teaching him how to survive on the wild frontier.

As winter approaches, Laurie’s normal fun-loving manner make it difficult for him to connect with John, but in spite of John’s old-fashioned ways, the chemistry between them grows.

Sparks fly as the blizzard rages outside the cabin. Can two men from different worlds and different times find happiness together?

A male/male time travel romance, complete with hurt/comfort, true confessions, a shared bed, fireplace kisses, the angst of separation, and true love across time.

Amazon – Kindle Unlimited

Honey from the Lion is a time travel that follows modern day Laurie, a guy who needs a break from his fast paced life that has him burned out. Laurie falls back in time to 1891 and meets rugged mountain loner John. Being a modern guy, Laurie has no idea how to fend for himself in the Colorado mountains and at first John is grumpy with this unexpected nuisance who’s shown up at his cabin’s door. But Laurie coaxes John into teaching him what he needs to live in the wilderness and the two soon fall for each other. Being snowed in is wonderful, but 19th century Colorado isn’t going to be kind to two men who are in love. Will the two be able to make a life this way? Or can Laurie get back to his own time? Will he even want to get back to his own time now that’s he’s found love?

This is a sweet story. I liked how Laurie knew how to navigate John’s grumpy self to uncover an excellent frontiersman willing to share his knowledge. It hurts me how John suffers from PTSD from his time during the Indian wars and that he has had to fight his attraction to men all his life. I love that they find peace, love and comfort with each other. I found the writing style a little bland; where that, and then this, and then that happened. But it seems this will be a series, and I might give the rest a try. The author has left a few areas that could be explored and I want to see how our heroes fare in the future.

Final Edit by EM DenningMy review:Fun, easy read with just a tiny touch of drama to spice it up. And oddly enough for one of the mian characters being a former porn star and current producer of adult films, there wasn't a lot of sex in the story. And it wasn't missing at all.I love that Lukas was unapologetic of his life. He did what he did and he made no apologies. But at the same time, he knew there were very unscrupulous people in the business, having been part of it for so long. He also had no ego. Didn't care that his body wasn't perfect any more or that he might have some gray hairs. He was who he was and he was proud of it.And Sawyer. I loved that he was the totally buttoned up professor type. So the opposite of Lukas. But that is part of what made them work so well together. And after Sawyer got over the mild shock of Lukas' profession, he didn't judge. Not Lukas or any of the performers he came in contact with. The whole story just felt like a nice, normal two guys meeting and falling for each other. They both seemed mature beyond their years, but that really worked for them.All in all, I really enjoyed it.4 Pieces of Eye Candy ... See MoreSee Less

✨TEASER: MELTDOWN by @jillian_wary_author releasing February 24th!#PreOrderNowamazon.com/dp/B0FRTYCNXM Why you will love this book…🔥Best friends to Lovers🔥Opposites Attract🔥Oblivious MC with zero awareness of personal space 🔥Forced Proximity 🔥Virgin MC🔥Bi-awakening 🔥“Fuck it”🔥“It’s always been you”🔥Low Angst🔥MM RomanceWE WERE INEVITABLE.In the thin air of Ricochet Ridge, the truth isn't just a revelation—it’s an epic meltdown thirteen years in the making.LIAM I’m at my breaking point. After losing my mom and being deceived by my dad, I’m heading to Ricochet Ridge for my annual ski trip feeling untethered and carrying a heavy burden of pain and anger. My only anchor is Damon, my "ride or die," who famously chose me over his own twin brother when forced with an impossible decision, thanks to my father. Damon is the only person in my life who has never lied to me, a fact that makes our upcoming two-week trip the only thing keeping me grounded.DAMON I’m living a lie that has lasted thirteen years. I’ve protected Liam by staying silent, carrying a crushing weight of secrets to shield him. I preferred causing myself pain rather than risk losing the friendship that means everything to me. But I can no longer hide the truth about what really happened between Liam’s father and my twin brother…and worse, I’m not sure I can hide my feelings any longer either.THE RETREAT The romantic tension is amplified by the sheer history between them. For thirteen years, their bond has been defined by a loyalty so fierce it bypassed blood relations. As the truth about their families comes to light, the boundaries of their friendship incinerate. Liam must decide if he can forgive Damon’s deception, while Damon must learn to trust Liam with his own vulnerabilities instead of just acting as his shield.Meltdown is an interconnected standalone with a guaranteed HEA. You can start here or read it out of order without spoilers for the rest of the Ricochet Ridge series.✨INFLUENCERS: Sign up to review this awesome release: bit.ly/meltdownsignup#jilliandwray #mmromance The Author Agency ...

✨EXCERPT: BURNING ENEMIES by @authorminaelwood releasing February 3rd! #Preordernow: a.co/d/dCVZeQDJack prowled forward as I stepped back. His face held an expression I wasn’t familiar with, and I had no idea what his intentions were, but my dick was about to make it obvious what I hoped his intentions were.The room wasn’t very big, and his sneer made him seem twice as large. My scalp prickled with awakening instincts as he crowded me more and more with every inch we moved. In seconds, my back hit the tiled wall, and Jack was in my face.“Hey, Cal.” His citrus breath teased across my mouth and nose.I blinked and glanced over his shoulder at the closed door. God, anyone could walk in here.“Jack, we should—”“Shhh. Nothing to talk about, remember?”He moved closer and closer, his face inches from mine. My heart hammered in my chest with either fear or anticipation. It could go either way.I wiped my wet, shaking palms on my jeans. Would he kiss me again? I swallowed and huffed out a breath, lips parting to betray my hope. The prick grinned, lowered his thick lashes, then …Jack kissed me.Again!Holy fuck.He moved his lips slowly over mine, teasing me until the tip of his tongue curled behind my top lip, trapping it against his. This was nothing like the time before. Actually, I wasn’t even sure this was a kiss at all. Jack could be messing with me, fucking me up even more. The thought of that, of him using this type of offensive attack against me, had my ever-present rage rising in readiness.#minaelwood #mmromance The Author Agency ... See MoreSee Less
