Maddox

I’m not a fan of Christmas. I’m happy to stay up in my mountain cabin and let the silly season pass me by.  But when a friend asks for a favor, I can’t say no.  Now I’m stuck in my cabin during a snowstorm, trapped with the most beautiful man I’ve ever met—who can’t wait to get away. He just might break my heart when he goes.

Ravi

I’m racing to get home for the birth of my goddaughter when mechanical troubles force my plane’s emergency landing. There are no beds at the inn due to a horrendous storm, but a friend says she knows a guy who won’t mind putting me up until the bad weather passes.  Now I’m trapped with that man, and I must decide if I stay, hiding from the rest of the world, or go and face my past to earn a shot at my happily ever after.

This is a 72k word, hurt/comfort, lumberjack/nurse, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity MM romance novel with a moderate amount of angst.

My Rating - 4 Stars!

Ginger Snapping All The Way is an emotional holiday romance by Gabbi Grey. I feel into this one easily and couldn't put it down. 

This story starts off with some insta love between Mad and Ravi. They're likable from the start and it's easy to root for them. 

This is a story of opposites, both of whom have some tough times in their pasts to deal with. This story has some serious moments and some difficult situations. But it's also wonderfully sweet, with lots of heart, and some major heat. 

Their story takes place over a short time period, with some forced proximity pushing the two to deal with things quickly.

The writing is wonderful, with some fantastic characters and a riveting storyline. I enjoy the dialog and the sensitivity the author brings to their writing. 

Ginger Snapping All The Way is a great read. Gabbi Grey certainly puts them men through some tough times to get their hard fought happy ending. But rest assured, it's all worth it. This is definitely worth a read when you're in the mood for a hurt/comfort holiday romance.

All of a sudden, the mechanical whirr of a window descending sounded through the cabin, and within moments, a blast of cold air hit my neck.

“Jesus, Sofia.”

I glanced in the side mirror, and damned if the dog didn’t have her head stuck out the window. She must’ve climbed over my bag and, apparently, knew how to lower the window.

Impressive.

“I’m rolling up the window.”

More whirring, and an indignant yip.

I didn’t speak dog, but I knew pissed when I heard it.

“I don’t care.” Maddox gripped the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles were white.

Another yip.

“Okay. One French fry. But that’s all you’re getting. Zephyra said no more treats.”

I hesitated. None of my business, but I couldn’t help myself. “Uh, if you don’t mind me asking, who is Zephyra?” I probably didn’t need to know, but this was the first conversation in about fifteen minutes, and even if I was interrupting dog/human communication, I wanted in on the discussion.

“Dr. Zephyra Dixon is Sophia’s veterinarian. Her clinic is across from the A&W, and she might have spotted me giving Sophia a French fry.”

Two quick successive yaps.

Ah, now the truth was coming out.

Sofia placed her front paws on the center console by my elbow and nuzzled my ear again.

“Holy crap, dog, you’re all wet.” And cold.

“Hence the reason I don’t want her rolling down the window. Doesn’t have the sense God gave her.”

I glanced over my shoulder to find a grinning pup. Oh, she was mighty pleased with herself.

“At least she’s strapped in.” I’d noticed that. Some kind of harness system. She could go back and forth between the two back windows and come up to the front console, but was clearly secured.

“There’s a reason for that.”

I waited, but no further elucidation came. “Care to share?”

A grunt. “Not long after I got her, we were driving home from town. When I arrived at my place, the back seat was empty.” He shot a quick glare at the dog who didn’t appear the least bit cowed. “She won’t tell me if she slipped or jumped, but she’d gone out the window when I’d slowed down to make a left. Took me two hours of walking the back roads. Finally, someone stopped and told me where they’d seen her. Little shit.” That last bit was muttered, but clearly audible.

I turned to face Sofia. “That must have been traumatizing.”

A snort. “Little dear was lapping up the luxury in someone’s backyard, sunning herself after a dip in the kiddie pool. Damn lucky no one shot her.”

“Shot her?” I pressed a hand to my chest.

“Plenty of my neighbors have guns. Wouldn’t be legal, but that wouldn’t stop some of them. She lucked out.”

I tweaked her nose. “Did you hurt yourself?”

A snicker. “She was just fine. Shaved a couple of years off my life, but she was no worse for wear.”

Ah, so he did have a heart.

For his dog, at least.

If Only for Today (Deerbourne Inn) by Gabbi Grey

 





He came looking for solitude. He might leave after finding love.



Jared Langford is a happy man. The desk clerk at the Deerbourne Inn knows everyone in his cozy town in Vermont. He is accepted and loved by the community, but he's missing someone special in his life.

Devastating news has brought journalist Xander Fortier to Willow Springs for some much-needed rest. He's photographed every major conflict in the world for the last ten years, but being stateside has forced him to reassess the solitary life he's been living.

Something in Xander's gruff demeanor calls to Jared's caring nature. Soon the men are spending time together, but Jared's kisses might not be enough to keep Xander from leaving. Can the men find a happily ever after if they only have today?




My Rating - 4.5 Stars!


If Only for Today is a heartwrenching romance by Gabby Grey. Part of the Deerbourne Inn series, it's easily read as a standalone. 

This one has all the feels. If you aren't in the mood for a tear-jerker, stay away!

Jared and Xander's romance is far from ordinary. They meet when Xander comes to spend a month at the Inn where Jared works. 

Xander's job is a big part of his past. He's a famous, award winning photo journalist who works in dangerous situations. His stay starts off with a little suspense as to what he's dealing with. 

The men are complete opposites, yet also share some of the same fundamental problems. Both are running from something. 

Their story includes an adorable dog and cat, with a bond so beautifully strong. I can't help but to fall in love with Marshmallow and Lady, enjoying every moment of them. 

The overriding theme throughout is that "Circumstances can always change..." And damn, isn't that the truth? I love how the author handles this, taking both the characters and the reader through some twists and turns, and ending with a fantastic ending for these two.

The small town setting is wonderfully established and felt throughout. Xander's attitude about the town is a perfect way to explore the feelings and charms of small town living.

If Only for Today is a great read by Gabbi Grey. This story will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. It's heartbreaking, it's depressing, it's funny, and it's sweet. I highly recommend it and can't wait to see what Gabbi writes next. 






Xander reached for Jared’s hand resting on the table, only pulling back at the last moment. “You’re very expressive, as I’m sure you know. You hide nothing. I like that. I’m tired of artifice and people hiding their genuine feelings. My best work is when people are at their most vulnerable. When they’re raw.”

Now Jared cocked his head. “Isn’t that taking advantage?”

The other man glanced out the window.

The sun had lowered to below the trees, but the light still shimmered. It illuminated Xander’s face but also hid part of his profile in shadow. When he turned back, the expression was nothing short of haunted.

“I suppose you could say that, if you were so inclined.”

Before Jared could respond, he continued.

“There are two kinds of photographs I take. The first are the spontaneous heat-of-the-moment shots. In the midst of a battle or the immediate aftermath. The photos capturing the urgency and danger of the moment.

“Then there are the more intimate shots. Showing the toll human suffering takes. Laying bare people’s souls. Sometimes I have permission, and sometimes obtaining it is impossible. Many of those people want their pictures taken because they want the world to see their plight. To see the suffering wrought by conflict. To see the injustice and the depravity. Man’s inhumanity to man, if you want.”

Talk about raw. “Your work is amazing.” No point in hiding his awe.

“My work is necessary.”

Jared hesitated before nodding. “Doesn’t say much for the state of the world, does it?”

Xander swiped his hand as if swatting a fly. As if trying to push a memory away. “I’m a downer tonight. Sorry about that. You didn’t ask me here to opine about the state of geopolitics.”

Catch a Tiger by the Tail (One Scoop or Two) by Gabbi Grey



Tagline:  Breaking the rules can be so delicious…



Thomas Walsh knows the number one rule in the film industry. Don't get involved with the talent. But resisting the urge to take the big screen to the bedroom can be hell when the lead actor on the set looks good enough to eat...one slow lick at a time.
Peter Erickson's latest role as a gay man hits a little too close to home. He's still in the closet and secretly grieving the death of his lover. Then an enchanting production assistant catches his eye, and he's surprised by the instant attraction that stirs more than his wounded soul.
When the two men are caught on camera in a very intimate pose, both Thomas and Peter are afraid they've caught a tiger by the tail.



My Rating - 5 Stars!


Catch a Tiger by the Tail is one of those books that intrigued me immediately and consumed me throughout. This Gabbi Gray One Scoop or Two book is fabulous. I love it all!

Fun from the start, Thomas and Jason are perfect together. Thomas is a PA on a movie set who's dumb struck the first time he sees Jason, the movie star. Jason, oh how I adore Jason. He's a closeted actor who comes with a whole lot of baggage. His ex kept him firmly in the closet and he's never recovered from the pain. 

Despite a 14 year age gap, Thomas and Jason can't fight their attraction to one another. Both men have their issues. Thomas is closeted due to his homophobic family, and Jason is still struggling with his past relationship. They also have to deal with outside forces that come with being famous, including the paparazzi.

This is an insta-love Hollywood romance. It's a story of sexual exploration, first times, and coming out. And I couldn't get enough of it.

The writing style flows well, and the storyline is pure delight. Told in alternating 1st person pov, the reader is easily brought into the character's minds and motivations. 

Catch a Tiger by the Tail is a sweet and easy going read. This Gabbi Grey gem is angst free and completely heart-felt. These men and their whirlwind romance could be cheesy, but it's not. It's truly delightful!






Gabbi lives surrounded by trees, racoons, deer, and other woodland creatures, on a mountain in beautiful British Columbia where her fur baby chin poo keeps her safe from nasty bears. 
Working for the government by day, she spends her nights writing contemporary, gay, sweet, and dark erotic BDSM romances…and while she firmly believes in happy endings, she also believes in making her characters suffer before finding their true love.
