Two Chicks Obsessed with Books & Eye Candy

Sharing our love of M/M Romance

Unsettled by Zach Jenkins: Quick Review

June 22, 2017 by Denise

He’s a cop who looks like a cowboy and I just have to see his gun.

I’ve refused second dates for years because I’m too much of a mess to hope for any relationship to work out. After one wild, impulsive, and let’s face it, pleasantly filling night with James, I’m ready to throw all of that out the window.

Men are for drinking buddies and dirty jokes… and now, so much more.

Evan is the first man I’ve ever slept with. If I get my way, he’ll be the one I’m with forever. I’m not sure how I’ll tell the other guys at the police station, but I’ve got bigger problems to worry about.

Someone is attacking people on The Strip in August, GA, and they are working way too close to the club where Evan is a DJ. I’ve got to catch whoever is responsible so that I can protect Evan, the man who taught me everything about love.

Unsettled is a steamy, standalone, first time with a man, romantic thriller novel with no cliffhangers.

Amazon – Kindle Unlimited

The prequel to the book is out on insta-freebie, if you want to grab it.

Where to start….

Okay, first, the epilogue really confused me… I kinda got it, after a little bit, but I was wondering why and when it would come into relevance. James is a cop, a beat cop, actually… just figuring out that he’s not so straight when he goes to a gay club and see’s Trey…. you’re probably not gonna like him, I didn’t from the very beginning, even though Evan seemed to.

Evan is a DJ at the club who has a not so great run-in with James at first, but knows who he is, because he’s his neighbor. That opens the door for something to happen between them, which seeed to happen at warp speed. Like, one night together, Evan was set on it being a one nighter and then BAM… relationship without even talking about it.

Now, people are dying left and right, people from around the club, meaning gay people, but some how, even being on the force… James seemed really out of the loop about… Seems like he would’ve been better informed, especially being that it’s somewhere he hung out with his boyfriend and they all knew and then at work, they all knew… especially his best friend O’Brien.. who I was mad that I liked in the beginning because from the first time he “chased two perps down the alley” …. that he wasn’t to be trusted either. It all seemed a bit predictable and I hated that it too so long for it to be known… Though I still don’t know what the motives were and I’m aggravated that nothing happened to Trey… nobody even busted him in his mouth for being so mouthy.. we couldn’t at least get that kind of karmic justice? He just kinda disappeared…. I didn’t like that.

Other than that, I really liked Evan and James together. It was cute and corny and I liked the way they were together. I liked the mechanic friends, I wish we would’ve seen more of them… I liked that James’ family was so supportive, though I hated that Evans wasn’t. I’m not sure if I’d ready anymore in this series…. I have a thing about bad guys getting away with being terrible and although one gets caught in this one, nothing is explained and I didn’t get any closure…. sigh….
I also found myself liking Rick, kind of… which also aggravated me lol I hope, if he’s mentioned in other books he gets himself together for his son.
Alls well that ends well for Evan and James though… I was happy about that. Good for them 🙂

Overall, 3 pieces of eye candy from me!

✨TEASER: ASYSTOLE by @jillian_wray_author releasing September 24th! #PreOrderNowa.co/d/0duS4TrN Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…🚁Friends to Lovers🩺Surgical Resident x Helicopter Pilot🚁Bi-Awakening🩺F*ck It🚁Workplace Romance🩺Cheating (not between MMCs)LOGANI excel at running from my problems and my past.Unfortunately, I’m also really good at running straight into trouble.While trying to get as far away as possible from the man who broke my heart, I ended up sharing an apartment with his fiancé’s best friend.I’m determined to keep Chase at arm’s length, but Chase is determined to get inside my skin. Who knew straight guys with long term girlfriends were so into platonic cuddling?Chase’s stressful days as a medical resident have me doting like an eager housewife—which is ridiculous…Until we cross a line, and I’m left wondering what’s crazier: Chase still thinking he’s straight, or me thinking this could end in anything other than heartbreak.CHASENinety-hour weeks as a general surgery resident leave me hollow and mentally fried, so when running into an old acquaintance offers me a break I desperately need, I jump at the opportunity.As the Life Flight helicopter pilot for Boston Memorial, I expected to see Logan from time to time.What I wasn’t expecting was to become his roommate so soon after reconnecting.Nor was I expecting my platonic feelings for him to turn into something… more.I blame it on my need for physical touch and the long-distance relationship I have with my girlfriend.Until a kiss with Logan at the stroke of a New Year’s midnight changes everything.I need Logan in ways I never imagined, but by the time I figure that out, it may be too late.Asystole is book one in the Boston Memorial series. It can be read as a complete standalone but does feature characters from—and contains light spoilers for—Avalanche (Part of the Ricochet Ridge series).✨INFLUENCERS: Sign up here bit.ly/ASYSTOLESIGNUP#jilliandwray #mmromance The Author Agency ...

Allegiant (The Firm Book 4) by Cora Rose and Lark Taylor. My review:Another winner for this series. Listen, you definitely have to suspend reality. But at the same time it seems so normal. Maybe because we don't see a lot of the "wet work" of The Firm. And these brothers are just so funny. They all have serious trauma from their father and they aren't the greatest at expressing emotions. But they love and protect fiercely. Even when they are threatening each other with daggers, torture and imminent death. Ahh fratricide. Must like one of the other books, Samson is tasked with killing someone they believe killed his best friend. But then he met him. Lust came first.Rowan is still grieving his best friend who was killed almost a year ago. He throws himself into work as a dancer and preparing for an upcoming show. But this handsome giant of a man helps him forget as well.Until, yanno, Samson figures out that Rowan didn't do it. And he has to convince his brothers of the same.Besides the regular cast of characters, we also meet Larry. Rowan's neighbor who he considers old and invalid and he kind of forces friendship on him. And helps him out around the house. The more we learn about Larry, the more interesting he is.Rowan also helps Samson come out of his shell a bit with dance. Something Samson loves but only does in secret. Never in front of anyone. Until Rowan. I was a bit perplexed why Rowan was able to forgive one person for something but not Samson. And He does grapple with that himself. But I appreciated that Rowan really stuck up for himself and wasn't going to just accept what happened.These two were so great together. Rowan defending Samson to Samson's brothers made me want to stand up and cheer. And Samson refusing to just go away after the big fight. He was fine in the shadows. He just needed to keep Rowan safe. Swoon.If you've read the others, you'll really enjoy this.PS: as someone who grew up going to dance classes who also had a some who went to dance classes for 10 years, I wish more research was done so those parts of the book were more accurate.PPS: THAT EPILOGUE!4 Pieces of Eye Candy ...

Being dumped by his almost-boyfriend doesn’t make it any easier. And the hit that just might finish him off? His new teammate is also his long-time hockey idol, Jed Grant.Still, Remy’s not about to make waves by crushing on the goalie—even if Jed’s so hot that he melts Remy’s brain. And if Jed’s known for anything, it’s being rock-steady both on and off the ice. So it shouldn’t be a problem when Jed takes Remy under his wing.It turns out, though, that Jed’s not so rock-steady when Remy’s around. Remy’s smart and hardworking and eager to please, and for the first time in his life, Jed can’t help himself.Mentoring the gorgeous new rookie?Part of the job.Offering him a place to stay?No big deal, Jed’s done it before.Letting Remy fall asleep in his bed?That one’s a little harder to explain.Jed knows he’s getting in too deep, too fast. But Remy’s the first guy he can actually see a future with. He just hopes he’s not the only one who’s been knocked sideways.Knocked Sideways is a spicy, slow-burn m/m hockey romance between a gruff veteran goalie who thinks he’s happiest on his own and the sweet, sexy rookie who might just change his mind.
