Two Chicks Obsessed with Books & Eye Candy

Sharing our love of M/M Romance

Medley by Layla Reyne: Exclusive Excerpt, RDB, and Giveaway

April 26, 2018 by Denise

 Sebastian Stewart was never Mr. Dependable; he was more the good-time guy who only wanted to swim, party, and ink tattoos. Until he cost his team the Olympic gold four years ago. Bas is determined to do right this time around—by his medley relay team and his rookie mentee.

Jacob Burrows is in over his head. The Olympic experience—from the hazing, to the endless practices, to the unrelenting media—makes the shy nineteen-year-old’s head spin. He’s trying to be everything to everyone while trying not to fall for his gorgeous tattooed teammate who just gets him—gets his need to fix things, his dorky pirate quips, and his bisexuality.

When Jacob falters under the stress, threatening his individual races and the medley relay gold, he needs Bas’s help to escape from drowning. Bas, however, fearing a repeat of his mistakes four years ago, pushes Jacob away, sure he’ll only let Jacob down. But the only path to salvaging gold is for Jacob to finally ask for what he needs—the heart of the man he loves—and for Bas to become the dependable one.

 “How can you be your best when you’re not sure if your best will measure up? That’s the dilemma facing Bas and Jacob, as they deal with the immense pressure of swimming for Olympic gold while also trying to sort out their tangled hearts.” –Layla Reyne

With Medley, Layla Reyne combines love, self-discovery, swimming, and the excitement of the Olympics in to one stellar event. I loved Jacob and Bas’s story. –Anna Zabo, author of Syncopation

Jacob.

Not kid.

Not Pup.

Jacob.

Bas had called him by his name, together with a gentle hand on his back and a soft question that had sounded more like a promise.

“But who’s looking out for you, Jacob?”

As good as a carrot dangled in front of a starving rabbit. A carrot that came with a two-letter caveat—JE—whoever the hell that was. Jacob was still starving, regardless.

From the first touch of the needle, he’d been hard.

No, that was a lie.

He’d been hard since Bas had stripped off his shirt and sat on the stool next to him in just his jeans, but Jacob was trying to ignore all that.

The blond dreadlocks piled atop of his teammate’s head. The striking blue eyes and laser-cut cheekbones. The tattoos decorating his fly-swimmer’s massive upper body. The powerful thighs Jacob had dreamed about straddling him every night since meeting Sebastian Stewart at Trials.

Failing to ignore, clearly.

My review: Chase by Raleigh RuebinsI fell in fast with this one. WhewI feel like I've known guys like Chase. Just kind of a mess because of ADHD, family trauma, drugs, alcohol, etc. And so many of them are artists. Like Chase.And when he first meets Logan...things are interesting. The hot and heavy affair- no labels- continues while Logan is in NYC. But eventually he goes back to LA. But a year later...We don't see what happens in that year they are apart but Chase does some serious growing as a person. So when they meet again, Chase is more the man he was meant to be. Their story was deep, complex, full of feeling and growth. I absolutely loved them together. Logan was afraid of Chase getting sucked into the social media celebrity machine like he was. Chase thought he wanted to be there. Have people recognize him. Get his art out there. They both need to find a happy medium to the chaos.4 stars instead of higher just because there were continuity issues that bugged me. Especially something fairly big that happened toward the end.4 Pieces of Eye Candy ... See MoreSee Less
