Purple Method by Victoria Milne: Release Day Review

July 9, 2019 by Denise

An up-and-coming heavy metal singer and a martial artist desperate to join a top MMA gym must decide how hard they’re willing to fight—for their dreams and each other.

Max Diaz is firmly in the closet, and as unbearable as that’s becoming, he can’t risk his only remaining family—his brother, Tony—or his band Purple Method’s chance to make it big.

Rick Bernstein dreams of rising in the ranks of the MMA circuit and securing a training career at a top gym, but with rejections coming thick and fast and his financial future in dire jeopardy, starting a relationship is the last thing on his mind—especially with someone who isn’t out.

But when Purple Method returns to Elfinbrook after a six-month tour, one kiss changes everything. Now Max and Rick face decisions that will change both of their lives forever.

Title: Purple Method
Series: Purple Method

Sorry, this book was just a mess.

Max is the lead singer to a up and coming heavy metal band. And he is in the closet. And he is only 20.

Tony, his older brother, plays drums in the band and pretty much knows Max is gay, but is fearful that if he comes out he will be so miserable he will kill himself as a few other guys in bands he knows of.

But Tony isn’t concerned at all at the amount of drinking they all do. Especially Max who is only 20.

But then Max meets Rick, an MMA fighter. Max denies it for a bit, but then jumps in with both feet with a relationship with Rick. Who really doesn’t want a relationship. Oy.

And omg the pages and pages and pages describing the MMA fights…

And then someone in the band quits. But no big- Max can take over that instrument. Because if he can play guitar, playing slap bass is no big, right?

And then they get invited to play at clubs in England. But only Max knows and doesn’t tell the rest of the band until like 3 days before. WHAT???

Ooops, sorry, there was also some kind of jamboree where Max and his bff entered the bbq contest.

There’s more, of course there is. But seriously, this book was such a mess. I kept finding myself scrolling through Facebook when I should have been reading because it was just boring.

Don’t waste your time.

✨Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for PARALYZE by @jj_asher_writes! Grab it in KU!#OneClickNowmybook.to/paralyzeWhy you need to #ONECLICK this book…🔥Forbidden🔥Brother's Best Friend🔥Age Gap (21/34)🔥Forced Proximity🔥Opposites Attract🔥Grumpy/Sunshine🔥Bi-Awakening🔥Hurt/ComfortThis is everything I’ve ever wanted, exactly what I’ve spent the last thirteen years denying myself of, and it’s happening in a filthy alley with the kid I swore I’d never touch.*Carey*—twenty-one, flirtatious and sun-kissed, chasing a place that feels like home. His latest bright idea? Fly halfway across the world to a town he hardly remembers, to crash for the holidays with his estranged older brother who he's scarcely seen in the past sixteen years. Only to arrive on his doorstep to find that brother AWOL and the entire contents of his apartment strewn across the front lawn.*Tek*—thirty-four, exhausted, and barely holding it together. Deserted by his best friend and business partner, he's left to carry the weight of a tattoo shop in the aftermath of an affair that sent staff numbers from four to one in the space of a single afternoon. He keeps his world small, and his hookups controlled on purpose. Then Carey walks in like a damn storm, making Tek question everything he ever knew about himself. Including why he can't stop thinking about the golden tan of another man's stomach. Tek turns Carey away but desperation rewards his persistence with a job offer, and boundaries start to blur. Tek knows better. He's spent the last decade with the world at arms length with iron clad rules that he breaks for no one, especially not the sunshine-smiling younger brother of his runaway best friend. But the more Tek resists, the more Carey leans in, and the line between right and wrong starts to look too appealing not to cross.Abandonment may have brought them together, but loneliness is what keeps them close. And the onething Tek swore he'd never reach for again might just give him the extra strength he's always needed.#newbookalert #jjasher #mmromance The Author Agency ... See MoreSee Less

✨ Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for THE GEEK AND THE GHOST by @cambriahebert! Grab it in KU!#OneClickNowa.co/d/07PLBaC9Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…🔥Hero with a villain complex🔥Pocket-sized Geek🔥Over the top possessive🔥MC Rescue Fantasy🔥Banter🔥Chronic illness rep🔥Touch him and die🔥Size difference🔥Dude in distress (suspense)🔥Hurt/Comfort🔥Homeless MC🔥MM Romance I’m about thirty seconds from a toe tag and my own freezer at the mortuary when he materializes from the shadows and fights like hell to keep me breathing.I had no idea homeless disasters like me got guardian angels—or that guardian angels punch people and smoke—but suddenly, there he is: a hero dressed all in black who ghosts me so hard I consider calling a medium.But that would be a waste of money I don’t have.I thought I’d never see him again, but just as I’m about to eat a bullet, he appears, using his body to protect mine. I might have swooned—okay, fine, I do but only on the inside—if it weren’t for the fact he thinks bleeding is an adequate apology for implying I’m a prostitute and running off with my heart.Spoiler alert: It’s not.Now the man with a PhD in vanishing, a tattoo that totally offends me, and eyes with their own force of gravity is suddenly stuck to me like glue and being wildly inconvenient about it.And he won’t stop calling me a pipgeek. What even is that?He insists I trust him, but I can’t trust anyone, not even my own body. Unfortunately, when the resident drug lord calls in that favor I foolishly owe, things go from bad to catastrophic with alarmingenthusiasm.On the upside, having a villain with a hero complex for a stalker means staying alive will be easy.But not getting hurt again is a whole other story.#newbookalert #cambriahebert #mmromance The Author Agency ...

My review of: The Geek and The Ghost by Cambria HerbertI enjoyed book 1 quite a bit. And since we met Ghost and Rett in book 1 I couldn't wait for book 2. But I was...underwhelmed.The book starts with how they had met 2 years ago. I liked that bit a lot and was excited. But then we jumped back to present and picked up pretty much where book 1 left off. But it got...boring.Rett being a martyr ("I'll leave. I know you don't want me."), Ghost going crazy possessive of someone he hasn't seen in 2 years and there was almost no plot. There was a weak thread of a plot until more than 2/3 in and then something started to happen. Even then, one guy wasn't the least bit scary or intimidating-nor was the mobster we met at the end of book 1. It just seemed like an after thought. Ghost is supposed to be this complicated guy but, meh. And even though I loved Haz in book 1, Rett is too similar to him. Tiny, no family, broke, a bit chaotic and clutzy. Too similar.I am assuming there will be a book 3 because there was set up for it. But if the younger guy is a copy of these two, I will be even more disappointed.3 pieces of eye candy ...
