MY Reviews:
My Rating: 4 stars
Stripped Bare is a sweet little romance. Sev and Ty are sweet together. I love how determined Seb is to get to know Ty, as well as to help him. Both men have had tough lives and finding love helps them, making them stronger. I really enjoyed this story.
In Far Water, Amir and Avery are escaping bad circumstances. They meet on a bus and instantly connect. Avery makes a quick decision to try to look for Amir. What she finds is not what she expects. It is a sweet, sad story.
Until My Dying Day follows Francis' tragic life. Alone in his own family, beat and bullied, then abandoned by his family. Stuck in a bigoted, homophobic place with no hope. Sometimes it just takes one person, one friend to turn your life around.
I love the quote of ""People wear the scars of living in this world every minute of every single day.'" This is a sad, yet sweet like story of finding a better future.
Bedsitter Christmas is a short, sweet romance, with reflections on a special Christmas for Nicky and Raoul.
Something To Hold On To features two best friends, in their teens. Jenny is in love with her straight best friends Lucy. It is a sweet romance. Sometimes, at that age, you have to take risks, even if you can't predict the future.
In Broken Defences, Beni is attracted to his new student, Kyle. This is set in a magical world. When Beni tells Kyle that he can't train him anymore, Kyle begs to stay his student. Why? Kyle reciprocates the attraction. Beni has never been able to find someone willing to put up with his work. Now, he wants to risk dating Kyle, hoping not to get hurt. Kyle might just be the man for him. This story is very sweet!
