Two Chicks Obsessed with Books & Eye Candy

Sharing our love of M/M Romance

Summer Heat by Jay Northcote: Release Day Review

June 10, 2017 by Denise

A summer fling is an ideal cure for a broken heart. But when it’s with your best friend, things get complicated.

When Adam is dumped by his boyfriend, a week away at a beach resort seems like a great opportunity to get over his ex. Sun, sea, and no-strings sex will be just the boost he needs to move on with his life.

Adam’s best friend, Finn, agrees to accompany him at short notice. Finn’s had a crush on Adam for years, but is determined to put his feelings aside and be the perfect wingman in Adam’s time of crisis.

A spontaneous threesome with another guy forces Adam and Finn to confront their attraction to each other. Having a holiday fling together wasn’t part of the plan, and as their trip heats up, they soon realise that one night of fun won’t be enough for either of them.

The passion might be scorching, but their hearts and friendship are on the line. If their romance is going to survive the flight home, they have to be honest about what they want.

Length: 47,000 words approx

Amazon

 

This is a fun and sexy beach read!

Almost the entire book takes place while Adam and Finn are on a week long vacation. So while the book wasn’t necessarily short, the time frame of it was. But in that time fame, he brought us a friends to lovers story that was sweet and super sexy and just left you with a smile.

Even though Adam was getting over an unexpected break up, he didn’t wallow. Of course there was the immediate get drunk thing- but who hasn’t done that? And while Adam and Finn could have changed their relationship that night over a bottle of Jack, it takes vacation and an unexpected matchmaker to bring them together.

I really loved the way Finn went from silently pining for his best friend Adam to being a super toppy in control guy in bed. And there is a lot of that. Some of it felt like filler sex- but it wasn’t the same thing over and over again so that was a big plus.

Watching them stumble over their feelings that they were both trying to hide was adorable. I both wanted to yell at them to admit their feelings, but also enjoyed the bit of awkwardness of “where do we go from here”.

No spoiler in that it is a happily ever after- and I thoroughly enjoyed one of the last scenes with Adam and his ex.

Delicious: A Second Slice: An LGBTQ+ Charity AnthologyParticipating authors:@beckgreyauthor ∙ @em.denning ∙ @kate.hawthorne ∙ @rhyswritesromance∙ @rory.maxwell.writes ∙ @authorkmcintyre ∙ @leeblairbooks ∙ @charlienovakauthor ∙@hipsterwriter ∙ @tobywisewrites ∙ @helenjwrites ∙ @kc_carmineWas every story in this anthology a 5 star read? No. But I am still giving it 5 stars because these were short, sexy and sweet. AND FOR CHARITY!There were a few by some of my favorite authors and some by authors I had never read. Each had their own unique voices and fun stories. We don't want angst in a short story!None of the individual stories are interconnected with each other. They may mention something from that particular author's previous books (a character here or there) but nothing that would leave you wondering where it all fit in.So sit down in a cozy spot and read a delicious story or two.5 pieces of eye candy ...

PreOrder your copy hereYou will love Alexithymia if you love… 🩺Surgeon x Motocross Racer/Patient🏍️Age Gap (20 years)🩺Forbidden Romance🏍️Forced Proximity🩺Grumpy/Sunshine🏍️Slow Burn, High TensionAlexithymia is a forbidden, age-gap MM romance between a surgeon and his patient. It is a slow burn with high tension and ends with a hard-earned HEA.CASEYBeing a motocross racer who can’t feel physical pain definitely has its perks.I take risks others won’t because I don’t fear getting hurt.Not even when an accident leaves me in a heap on the dirt track, fighting for my life.Which is how I meet Dr. Declan Porter,an emotionally stunted, sexy-as-hell, absolute asshole of a surgeon.Since I can’t leave this hospital bed for the foreseeable future, pushing Declan’s buttons seems like a great way to pass the time.But eventually, it’s time for me to leave, and all I can think about is seeing him again.He thinks we can’t cross that line because I’ll need him to stitch my body back together,but I’m more interested in convincing him to take me apart.DECLANI’ve never crossed a line with a patient.Not even the one who accused me of sexual harassment a few years ago.It’s never been an issue until hotshot motocross racer Casey McIntyre shows up in my OR.The kid has an ego the size of a jetliner and the boldest mouth anyone’s ever used toward me.I want to ignore him, or pass him off to my residents, but when the hospital CEO demands that I personally oversee Casey’s care, I know I’m in trouble.Nothing is worth losing my medical license for.Especially a patient half my age with a career choice and congenital disorder that will require my specialized skillset in the future.Casey is hellbent on getting under my skin, and the longer I’m around him, the more I start to think maybe I want him there.#jilliandwray #mmromance The Author Agency ...
