➜ Christopher Rice’s latest M/M book release is LIVE!! <— HE IS OFF LIMITS!! "...Logan Murdoch is a fighter, a survivor, and a provider. When he leaves a distinguished career in the Marine Corps to work security at a luxury beachfront resort, he’s got one objective: pay his father’s mounting medical bills. That means
Connor Harcourt, the irresistibly handsome scion of the wealthy family that owns Sapphire Cove, is strictly off limits..."
And the author gives us a little "Behind the Book" insight:
"...When the darkest days of the pandemic descended, I needed an escape. A beachy, sunny escape where men fell in love — with each other — and we’re free to be themselves. Oh, and drink iced ginger tea because it’s the bomb. And trounce homophobic jerks who tried to keep them apart. That’s how Sapphire Cove and C. Travis Rice were born, and this week, on March 1st, the first sexy, emotional installment in the
series go on sale..."

Michele G: I definitely want to check out Aly Martinez’ The Difference Trilogy…wow! Also, I need to read On the Honey Side by Stacey Hart just because of that blurb!
Mony: I really enjoyed “The Bad Guy” by Celia Aaron. I think I should do a re-read. Will check out Mercy by Debra Anastasia. Thanks!
Linda: Mona I also just read The Second Life of Mirielle West. I was so intrigued with the synopsis! I love when I find a read that makes me step away from the same genres and not having a clue what or where the story is going to take me!! Oh my heart!! Couldn’t put it down!! Totally 5 stars!
Mona: I’m so glad you loved it too! It was nothing like I thought it would be and so glad I gave it a chance.
Tasha J: I finished Benny Lament! Simply fantastic. I love, love Amy Harmon’s writing.
