Two Chicks Obsessed with Books & Eye Candy

Sharing our love of M/M Romance

Like I Needed by Charlie Novak: New Release Review

February 27, 2023 by Denise

.                                       .

One night isn’t supposed to lead to love.

Jamie Stone is rich, beautiful, and bored out of his skull. The past few years have been an endless round of parties, and the decadence has lost its lustre. When a late night decision to get away lands him in the small seaside town of Heather Bay, Jamie’s convinced he’s made a mistake.

Heather Bay is no Ibiza, but it does have Will.

Will is stressed, stretched, and doesn’t have time for anything but work. He’s too busy trying to keep his head above water to focus on the London party boy who keeps ending up in his bed. Jamie is nothing but a distraction, but Will can’t resist coming back for more, especially with the harsh realities of farming nipping at his heels.

With the clock ticking on Jamie’s stay and the chaos of lambing season fast approaching, both men will have to look beyond themselves and let go of their fears. If they can, they might find the one thing they’ve always needed.

Like I Needed is a steamy and sweet hook-ups to lovers contemporary MM romance featuring a city boy with a hedonistic reputation, a gruff farmer in need of a break, endless amounts of snow, friends with no boundaries, terrible scrambled eggs, and the breathtaking beauty of the Yorkshire moors.

It is book three in the Heather Bay series and while it can be read as a standalone, it’s best enjoyed as part of the series.

Amazon – Kindle Unlimited – All Regions

This series just has my heart. This is the third book in the Heather Bay series, and I hope that it goes on for a while. It is not high angst, has lots of happy endings (of all kinds) and the characters are such varying personalities, but yet all have something to contribute to the group of friends. I can imagine hanging out with them on one of those Friday nights and having a blast as they all harass each other.

Jamie, a rich boy who is mostly ignored by his parents, and partied and slept with anyone and everyone finally decided he needed something different in his life. So, he heads out to Heather Bay, and finds what he was looking for without knowing that was what he needed. He transitioned slowly throughout the book, going from never having seen a sheep to having one give birth in his hands, and bottle feeding baby lambs. It was gradual, but he just slotted himself in well at the farm, and into Will’s life.

Will, a workaholic by necessity as much as desire, really didn’t have time for Jamie, but he made time. First with a little fun in Jamie’s hotel room, then as Jamie came to the farm showing him how he could help Will with some of the farm’s needs. Will grew as well, learning to trust that Jamie wasn’t on his way out of town, and finding ways to show him that he was needed on the farm.

This was a low angst book, there wasn’t a huge breakup and makeup, no angry words. It really was just two men slowly falling in love, while learning to trust and feel, something they never knew how to do before.

I loved this, and can’t wait to read the next story, and (hopefully!) get to listen to this one on audiobook, as well.

My review of:Don't Fall by EM LindseyI liked this book. I enjoyed the fact that one character is a virgin at almost 30 and the other is a widower with a TBI at 27. Both have trauma inside and out and they just...belong together.North is a nurturer. Leo wants to be independent. North bought a foreclosure fixer upper without much time or money to fix it up. Leo bought a turn key house with money he got from life insurance and a legal settlement. North is always trying to help his family. Leo and his brother basically have no relationship with their parents. North befriended crows. Leo has fish.See where I am going with this? But somehow it works. After they get past all of the assumptions each made about the other.They had fun banter, a lot of chemistry and I just really liked both guys. The best friend's brother angle is always fun too. Waiting for the protective older brother to find out. Tee hee.There was a bunch of set up for other stories with the different characters we met in the book. And honestly, they all sound interesting and fun. If they go where I think some of them are going.So yes, jump into this new series in a small town outside of Boston.*quick aside because you know I am picky AF. At the beginning, the alarms go off at the firehouse and North takes his damned time going from the parking lot talking to someone to inside and suited up ready to go. Not cool man, not cool. Basically I didn't find most of the firehouse stuff all that believable.4 pieces of eye candy One click here: a.co/d/03n5SDglThe Author Agency ... See MoreSee Less

✨Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for DON’T FALL by @authoremlindsey! Grab it in KU!#OneClickNowa.co/d/00RZxM7KWhy you need to #ONECLICK this book…🔥Enemies to Lovers🔥Forced Proximity🔥Only One Bed🔥Praise Kink🔥Grumpy/Sunshine🔥Grumpy falls first🔥Hate Sex🔥Best Friend's Brother🔥MM Romance That’s it. My neighbor has to die. There’s no other way around it. The man must be killed—and I’ll even find a way to do it gently, but this cannot go on.Okay, maybe I’m a bit dramatic, but living next to my brother’s best friend who decided to befriend the crows that spend all week spreading garbage across my lawn is not what I signed up for.I wanted quiet.I wanted peace.I wanted to stop fantasizing about the gorgeous man I couldn’t stand.Unfortunately for me, North is a big presence with an annoyingly sunny smile and a way of making life sound like it’s worth living. And as a widower who wants to spend the rest of my life wallowing, the last person I want around is one who makes me question my new life’s purpose.But these feelings can’t be real, can they? I had my great love, and I lost him. So that’s supposed to be it for me.Isn’t that the way things go?I can’t seem to stay away from North, even when I know I should. And when he starts to make me feel like maybe there’s another happily ever after out there, I find that as cautious as I’ve taken each step, I’m on the verge of falling once more.Don’t Fall is the first book in the small town, enemies to lovers, heavy yearning, MM romance series, Storm Season. It features a virgin EMT whose smile is hiding a lot of things, a disgruntled, grieving writer who just wants solid sleep and a good meal, neighborhood crows wreaking havoc, cooking lessons, hurt/comfort, and a toe-curling happily ever after.#newbookalert #emlindsey #mmromance The Author Agency ...

✨EXCERPT: DON’T FALL by Author E.M. Lindsey releasing July 1st!#PreOrderNowa.co/d/00RZxM7K “Leo,” I murmur. I have no idea what I’m doing. I have no idea what’s meant to come next. All I know is that he wants me and that he fist-fought his own brain to admit it.And I don’t think the moment will last if I hesitate for even a second.This is my first and only chance with him.“Lean back,” I tell him. I have no idea where any of this is coming from, but the way he obeys me is fucking heady. It’s going to ruin me for the rest of my life, for any other person I ever sleep with after this.I’m going to leave most of my heart and part of my soul on this bedroom floor, and I won’t be coming back for it.Leo stares up at me under his long, dark lashes. He’s the same man I’ve always seen: shattered, exhausted, shaped by injury and grief. The man who doesn’t believe he deserves a second happily ever after. But he’s also something else now.Not quite mine, but I’m allowing myself to say he is, only for this moment.Lifting higher onto my knees, my hands creep along his thighs and I begin to tug the robe open. He doesn’t stop me. He watches with fevered eyes, one turned in slightly, but still so fucking focused on the way I’m touching him.I’m terrified something I say or do is going to break this spell and he’s going to banish me from this space, so I take my time drawing the tie on his robe open so I can see all of him.And every inch is fucking gorgeous.#emlindsey #mmromance The Author Agency ...
