    [Book Review] Finding Their Way By A.M. Arthur & CoffeeAM Heart Of Gold Coffee

    Riley McCage, bartender at gay hot spot Pot O Gold, ran away from his abusive, homophobic, alcoholic father 5 years ago at the age of 18 - and he’s been looking over his shoulder ever since. Now twenty-three, things are looking up for Riley, that is until his boyfriend of seven months, whom Riley mistakenly thought he could trust, takes him to sex party without his prior knowledge of what was going down and then drugs him without his consent. Luckily Boxer, a regular at Pot O Gold, recognizes the bartender and how much he in not consenting and gets him the heck out of there.

    The first two books of the In The Kitchen series, In The Raw and In The Fire, followed bad boy chef Ethan and “Golden Boy” chef Jamie on their journey to a hard-won Happily Ever After. In The Distance, the third book in the series, has Ethan and Jamie stepping back into secondary character roles, giving center stage to the developing relationship between Jamie’s best friend Trevor, a New York-based Entertainment Manger/Trust-Fund Baby/playboy, and Tyler, a young culinary student and sous chef at Ethan and Jamie’s restaurant in Seattle who dedicates all his free time to volunteer work and giving back to the community.

    [Book Review] Renovation By Lane Robins & Aroma Ridge Cinnamon Mocha Twist

    JK Lassiter can pick up psychic atmospheric readings just by walking into a room and with the touch of his hand, assimilate memories, good and bad, along with the overpowering surge of physical and emotional feelings attached to them. These gifts have proved to be more of a curse to JK, one he has to manage with medication and protective gloves to stop from being completely overwhelmed by. Now 28 years-old, he’s tired of his life being ruled by his abilities – which is why he’s excited when a new career path flipping houses opens up, offering a road towards independence and a chance towards a new, normal life.

    Sam Anderson cuts a fine figure in his perfectly tailored power suits. A high-powered CEO, Sam commands respect in the boardroom – sadly he feels he has to hide the fact that he’s gay to keep that respect.

    [Book Review] The Circus Of The Damned By Cornelia Grey & Bean Devil Coffee Co. Oblivion

    The Circus Of The Damned is set in a shadowy Victorian-esque world sprinkled with a few steampunk elements (I pictured it with kind of a Tim Burton goes to the circus kind of vibe) and populated with a cast of unique circus performers with unusual abilities, highly organized street thugs, and one frustratingly debonair devil.

    [Book Review] In The Fire By Eileen Griffin And Nikka Michaels & Van Houtte Crème Brulee Light Roast

    Not going to lie, when I first read the description of this book I was more than a little surprised and thrown off.

I almost didn’t want to even read this book, worried that it would break my heart as I really loved these two guys together, but I had…
