My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Noah Steele's Visions of Love, the third book in the Cut to the Feeling series, is a sweet and tender story of healing. Although easily read as a standalone, it's even more enjoyable if you've read the previous books. 

Marc is attracted to Connor, the first time he's been attracted to anyone since his husband died. Connor reminds him of his husband, but there's so much more to this attraction. They may start off with a quick kiss, but theirs is a slow developing relationship in the long run, which is a nice twist to the typical insta-love storyline.

Both men have depth to them. Marc is a complex man who has a lot of emotional baggage. Connor, meanwhile, struggles with his fame; just wanting to be liked for himself, not his art. I absolutely love these complex characters. 

Their story also involves some crazy fans, horrific nightmares, and some hot moments. There is a whole lot of depth to this story, as Marc struggles with not only grief, but also with guilt and the pain involved with forgiving oneself. The author does a fantastic job, tackling the pain and fear involved with taking a second chance on love with compassion and care.

Visions of Love is a stellar story of forgiving oneself and embracing happiness. It's a lovely story, a total feel-good romance. I am once again impressed with Noah Steele's ability to write emotional characters.

Acts of Love is a fun and flirty college romance by Noah Steele.

A theatre nerd and a college athlete are partnered up for a project. Beckett doesn't trust the hunky Alex's flirting, but when they team up to perform a love scene, the chemistry sizzles.

Their story is one of forced proximity of just one week. Things happen quickly, including some fun first times, as Alex is a virgin.

The author's writing style is fluid and definitely keeps the reader's interest. A short story at just 120 pages, it's a fast read. Despite it's short length, the reader is easily pulled into the drama, as Alex has a controlling father.

And, hot damn, the feelings jump right off the page during the sketchbook scene. 

Acts of Love is a sweet story of a young man fighting to be himself. Noah Steele has delivered once again in this insta-love romance.

Fighting for Love is book 2 in the Cut to the Feeling series. It is a gay instalove romantic drama that is better read as part of the series.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Told in 1st person pov, Fighting for Love drew me right in, as this Noah Steele book is a great addition to his Cut to the Feeling series. Despite being part of the series, it is great as a standalone. 

First of all, I have to say that I absolutely love the name of the coffee shop. Seriously, it's awesome. 


This is a story full of insecurities, intense chemistry, and a sense of danger. The tone is mysterious and ominous, allowing you to really sense the fear, keeping you on the edge of your seat as the danger escalates.
An insta-love story, stay away from this one if you hate this trope. 

Seth's reserved and doesn't reveal much. He's full of fear and sadness. I found myself just wanting to give him a hug. As a couple, Seth and Oliver are so damn sweet together. Intense, sacrificial, determined, and full of love

The title is perfect, as these two have a long road ahead of them, fighting to be together. Their story is one of overcoming issues and finding love. It's about making sacrifices for those you love. Ultimately, it's a sweet, yet intense romance. 

Fighting for Love is great, with a storyline that's riveting and full of emotion. I definitely felt it all; the fear, the need, the want, the apprehension, and the love. A new author, Noah Steele is impressive in his writing style; the storyline, the character development, and the likeable characters all add up to a great story.

My Rating - 5 Stars!


It's exciting to discover a novel by a debut author that I absolutely love. And, in Racing Into Love, by Noah Steele, I found just that. 

Aiden and Derrek fall for each other quickly, after meeting in Aiden's bookstore. As much as I enjoy their insta-love story, it's the other stuff that left me really excited. There's emotions, drama, action, danger, and more. 

One of my favorite parts is actually Aiden's relationship with his best friend. It's written in a compelling manner, adds to the drama, and wraps up nicely.

Aiden's panic attacks are written with knowledge and care. They are realistically handled, with the readers able to feel the stress radiating off of him. 

And Aiden and Derrek, themselves, are a great couple who compliment each other. They are complete opposites who definitely make for a fabulous couple. They both are understanding, caring and willing to sacrifice things for the other. They are hot together, as well as sweet. 

I am definitely impressed with Noah Steele's writing in Racing Into Love. I know I will definitely be checking out his future books, hoping they are just as good. In addition, I'll be crossing my fingers that we get more of Aiden and Derrek.
