Shunned and cast aside by his faith and family, Jamie is left to do whatever it takes to survive.

He comes across a group of kids in the same predicament, braving the streets of Seattle due to circumstances beyond their control. Lost souls who’ve slipped through the cracks of the broken systems society forced them into. Yet they still offer what little they have to him, including their home.

As time moves on, darkness surrounds him and when one of their own fall’s victim to the streets, Jamie wonders if there’s anything left worth living for. When his savior appears out of nowhere, he finds it hard to believe its real because he knows he’s not worth loving.

This is Jamie’s story from the #1 Amazon Bestselling book, Greyson Fox.

Potential triggers:
Sexual and physical abuse by church and family members, cheating, drug usage, prostitution and thoughts of suicide. Flashbacks of the abuse are present throughout this book. These are the opinions of the characters and in no way reflect the author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was curious about Jamie and Butch in the previous book, Greyson Fox.
Forgive Me Father is a heartbreaking story about Jamie, Greyson and Daniel's best friend.
It was started with Jamie when he was a kid. My heart was bleeding for what he had been through.
Jamie's life was a torture before he met Marcus and Daniel, his savior (really).
After what happened to him (many times), finally Jamie started to arrange his life to be a better life. But not without any twist, even when he's actually feeling safe with Daniel and Marcus (no, there's no polyamorous relationship, Jamie is purely Daniel and Marcus's foster little brother ).
Then came Butch, and Jamie's life getting better with that man in his life.
Life happens, but what happened in the previous book came into this story again. I had to 'see' what happened to Marcus and then Daniel.
This should be easily a five stars, but near the end I felt like a downhill when the story from the previous book written again. Not that I expected.
But overall, this one is a better one than Greyson Fox.
But prepare for the warning!

ARC REVIEW : HALO Book One of the Fallen Angel Series An MM Rock Romance ELLA FRANK BROOKE BLAINE


HALO
Book One of the Fallen Angel Series
An MM Rock Romance

ELLA FRANK   BROOKE BLAINE

Massive world tours. Over a hundred million albums sold. Groupies galore.
Every day is a party for Viper and the guys of TBD, the biggest rock band in the world. But it all comes to a screeching halt when the lead singer walks out of the studio one day and never comes back.

Ear-blistering vocals. Butchered lyrics. Fame chasers.
After months of lackluster auditions, Viper, the lead guitarist and resident bad boy of the group, is ready to find solace in the bottom of a bottle. Time’s running out and the pressure’s on to find a new singer, but it isn’t until an angel walks through the door that the band’s prayers are answered.

Charismatic. Talented. Magic behind the mic. Halo is everything they’ve been looking for.
With a voice to match his stunning good looks, it isn’t long before Viper’s taking notice. But there are several reasons this is a bad idea:
  1. Interpersonal relationships in the band are discouraged

  2. Viper has already broken rule #1—big mistake

  3. Halo is straight


Too bad Viper’s body isn’t listening to his head—at least not the one on his shoulders. But you can’t fake chemistry, not onstage and certainly not off it, and Viper and Halo? They have it in spades.

As both men try to resist the fire blazing between them, and the band is forced to reinvent themselves, it’ll be a complicated rise back to the top. But from the ashes of what was, something beautiful is born. Something better. And when the world finally sees Halo stretch his wings, they’ll discover what it’s like to fall for an angel.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG OMG OMG! Halo is wonderful and sexy AF!

After Trent Knox A Little Bit like Desire left the band, TBD need a new front man for the band.
I'm not usually a fan of rock-star romances, but soon as I read the first page of Halo, I was hooked!
Halo is page turner, adorable and sexy with a frustrating slow burn! And I'm loving every words these two authors put on this book!

It was lust at first sight, the first time Viper looked at Halo, he gave Halo a nick name, Angel.
Viper wanted Halo, bad. But the bad news is, Halo is straight, or so he believed before slowly Viper came into his life, and he questioning his sexuality. I liked that this sexuality thing smoothly adjusted, no real conflict about it.

Halo is the first book of Fallen Angel series, ended with a cliffhanger happy ending. And I cannot wait for the next installment of Halo and Viper's new romance!

Recommended!

ARC REVIEW : Wild as the West Texas Wind (Love Across Time #3) by Jackie North

43787252 

Soulmates across time. Two hearts that were meant to be together.

In present day, Zach takes a road trip to Trinidad to find information on a missing friend.

In 1892, Layton Blue, outlaw, longs for hearth and home even as he treasures his life of freedom.

A freak rainstorm washes Zach's car into a ditch, sending him back to the year 1892. Searching for help, alone and on foot in the middle of the nowhere, he crosses paths with the famous Ketchum Gang. Now the gang’s prisoner, Zach’s fate is to be sold at a seedy auction for whores.

Layton is put in charge of making sure Zach does not escape, but as the chemistry between them grows, Layton finds himself wanting to help Zach.

Can Layton overcome years of being on the run? Can Zach accept help from an outlaw?

A male/male time travel romance complete with fast rides across the desert, campfires beneath the stars, cool water in the desert, wild rescues, and true love across time.

...but I'm telling you, the most powerful prison is the one you don't know you're locked inside of...





Jackie North has easily become my new favorite author for just two books of her. There's no secret that I loved Honey From the Lion to bits, because how adorable Laurie and John were.
This book should be read after Laurie and John, so we'll know what to expect from this book.

Started with a wish from Layton (pay attention with chapter one closely), the story begun.
This is a story of finding yourself and what you really want in your life. Layton had been an outlaw for five years after Tom took him under his wings, and like Zach said to him, he had been 'a prisoner without a door' for Tom. Never dare to take a step toward his dream of a peaceful life. Until Zach.
Layton irritated me at first with his cowardice to stand up for himself and Zach. But the situation was 1892, which understandable.
But Zach is a little spitfire that Layton needed in his life. Together with Tam, Layton's adorable pretty horse, the trio fought for life they dream of.


"I love you. If you want to leave and go roam the earth, we roam. If you want to stay and light kerosene lamp, then we light the lamps. I just want to be with you. I want to be your home"
"You are, you are my home"


Then came Laurie and John in the picture, my life is complete.
Will the four of them finally get their happy ending? In 1892, the happy ending is the most HEA after all.
Cannot wait for the next installment!
