When you see the world through the eyes of a child, there’s magic everywhere.

And crumbs. Lots of crumbs…

But that’s not going to stop Mike and Bryn Kneller from traveling with their nephew Liam at their side. Not that deciding to take the lad to visit Bryn’s homeland was an easy decision for the two recently wedded men despite how much they adore the boy. This trip was supposed to be a romantic anniversary trip after all.

However, life, as it does, tends to lead us down a path of its own choosing. Combining an unexpected announcement from a family member with the not-so-subtle pleadings of Bryn’s parents, the decision was made. With lots of hand sanitizer and a heaping helping of patience, the journey begins, leading Bryn and Mike to discover a great deal about themselves, their marriage, and their plans for the future.




My Rating - 5 Stars!

The World According to Liam is the fourth book in the According to Liam series by VL Locey. It's an amazing feel good read. 

If you've been reading this series, you know how funny, precocious, and talkative Liam is. I can always count on him for a pick me up! 

As for Mike and Bryn, it doesn't get much better than them. I love their relationship and every moment with them is like a gift. They are truly in love and their relationship is inspirational. I appreciate every moment I get with them. 

In this part of their lives, we get to learn that Kelly is pregnant, Liam's being bullied, and the men are off for a work trip/vacation. Taking Liam to Germany with them leaves the readers with a lot to be delighted about. Liam's non-stop chatter is fabulous. Good god, I felt like I was there, listening to him in person. And omg, all his bathroom issues and comments are hysterical. He never fails to entertain.

Since the trip is due to a hockey thing in Europe for Bryn, there's a little bit of hockey talk as well. The author does a great job illustrating how often and how far hockey players travel. And taking Liam on the journey allows us to see the world through Liam's eyes. Thus the title is perfect.

Of course, there is much more to this story than just their trip. There's also a lot going on once they return home.

The transphobia against Liam's best friend Peter is heartbreaking. And the family issues for Bryn continue to be a large part of  their journey. It's a heartfelt aspect of the tale and a beautiful reminder to know one's worth and focus on those who appreciates you.

The writing is great as usual. Written in alternating first person pov, both men fully come alive. They're both lovable, funny, and their chemistry is smoking. And yes, I fully adore them taking advantage of their time away from Liam to get naked.

I love The World According to Liam. Every single moment of this VL Locey tale is wonderful. I can't recommend this series enough. This is a part of their ongoing story that I never even knew I needed. I will definitely be re-reading this one often.

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!


The Romantic Pact is a sweet friends to lovers romance by Meghan Quinn. The second book in the Kings of Football series, it's easily read as a standalone. 

Hazel is given a trip through Germany with her former best friend, Crew, someone she's falling for. They've know each other their whole lives, but after some years apart, Crew's grandfather final wishes include a trip for the two of them.

The trip is a wonderful time of healing and closure for both of them. 

And then there's Hazel's worries. I appreciate the way she fears the unknown and worries about her future. 

In the end, it's a beautiful story. The overall theme is inspirational and well executed. And dear lord, I could list a whole page of meaningful quotes, 

"...there's plenty of gray in the world. The choices you make in life can't always be clear-cut decisions. You're going to have to open your eyes to see all the colors in between when making a choice."
"Please don't be so consumed with the black and white that you forget to learn to love in the gray."

Overall, The Romantic Pact is a sweet friends to lovers tale. Meghan Quinn created a memorable love story with this one. I just wish I could have met Pops!
