Two Chicks Obsessed with Books & Eye Candy

Sharing our love of M/M Romance

Wake Me Up Inside by Cardeno C: Quick Review

April 29, 2017 by Denise

A powerful Alpha wolf shifter and a strong-willed human overcome traditions ingrained over generations and uncover long-buried secrets to fulfill their destiny as true mates.

Regarded as the strongest wolf shifter in generations, Alpha Zev Hassick is surprised and confused by his attraction to his best friend. His very human, very male best friend. A male shifter has to mate with a female shifter to keep his humanity, so shifters can’t be gay. Yet, everything inside Zev tells him Jonah is his true mate.

Maintaining a relationship with the man he has loved since childhood isn’t easy for Jonah Marvel, but he won’t let distance or Zev’s odd family get in their way. When unexplained ailments begin to plague Jonah, he needs to save his own life and sanity in order to have a future with Zev.

Zev and Jonah know they’re destined for each other, but they must overcome traditions ingrained over generations and long-buried secrets to fulfill their destiny.

I love a good shifter book and this one takes the cake.

Zev has grown up being groomed to be the Alpha of his pack. A very powerful Alpha at that. Shifter lore states a wolf mates with another wolf of the opposite sex. It’s the way it has always been, so Zev is very confused when he is attracted to his male, human best friend Jonah. Something deep down tells Zev that Jonah is his mate.

Jonah and Zev have grown up together, been best friends forever so it only seem natural that things would progress romantically. Jonah is determined to keep their relationship strong, even when he’s away at college. When Jonah is plagued with weird ailments that can’t find a reason for, he tries to stay away from Zev until he can figure out what’s going on. In the end he runs to Zev because they are always stronger together than apart.

Together Zev and Jonah work to uncover what could be going on and discover that the Fates are never wrong and Jonah was made just for Zev.

Sigh. I love this story. Their connection is so beautiful,so pure and full of happiness and love. I have read this story so many times, their aren’t many authors that can pull off this level of chemistry and make it seem so effortless.

The story itself is entertaining and I couldn’t put it down. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve read it, each time is like the first time.

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 ...

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 ...
