Confessions: Bailey
By Ella Frank

Black and white. Right and wrong.
That’s how Craig Bailey has always lived his life.
The son of a fallen, decorated police officer,
he’s had no choice but to follow the rules.
Until he met the ultimate bad boy
and decided to follow him instead.
Henri Boudreaux is everything Bailey never knew he wanted.
Mysterious, sexy, and hiding more secrets than friends.
He’s exactly the kind of man Bailey knows could break his heart.
But there’s a vulnerability to Henri that calls to Bailey.
A longing for a connection that Bailey is unable to resist.
And while Bailey has always lived his life on the straight and narrow, he is now
beginning to understand that falling in love is never so black and white.







 Bailey by Ella Frank
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"My problem isn't being around you, Bailey. It's leaving you that now seems...unimaginable"

Bailey was a delicious way to end this series. And Henri deserved all the happiness he wanted with officer Bailey.

When I red Priest's story, I didn't really know what happened in the past between Henri and Priest. But along the way, while I really loved the dynamic among Priest, Robbie and Julien, it hurts me that Henri felt that for Priest and didn't get the same feeling ((view spoiler)[I also hated that actually, Priest cheated on Henri with Julien. Grr... (hide spoiler)]) . I was kinda hated Priest at the moment when Henri revealed about his past relationship with Priest.

It was actually, a very heartbreaking. At least, on my side.

But then, Bailey happened and everything about his past forgotten.
Henri had easily became Bailey's solid rock when something unpredictable happened in his life. And Henri did that happily with an open arms.

'And as Bailey fell apart in his arms, Henri was right there to catch him'

Bailey was a very romantic story about lost and found, about losing your past life and finding it in a way you never thought you would.
Henri and Bailey never thought that in the middle of their 'confusing life', love find the way to their heart. And I believe they'll keep it forever. And they're deserved their own happily ever after.

ARC REVIEW : RUNNING FROM MY HEART BY FELICE STEVENS

 



People say six years is long enough to mourn the death of his husband but for Ross Miller, the pain is as fresh as if it happened yesterday. He’s left his glittering Hollywood life behind, yet guilt still dogs his steps, no matter how far he runs. Trapped by his past and needing to escape his well-meaning friends, he rents a cabin in the secluded Adirondack mountains. A reclusive man moves in next door and piques Ross’s interest, but his persistent attempts at friendship are rebuffed. That doesn’t stop him because the one rule Ross Miller has always lived by is to never take no for an answer.

Novelist Arden Wainwright has given up. He can’t pretend a happiness he knows he’ll never find again. Solitary days turn into years, and he remains frozen, unable to take a breath. At his wit’s end, he retreats to the mountains, but it does little to stir his creativity. He continues to hide from life and avoids his overly nosy neighbor, who insists on planting himself at Arden’s doorstep at every turn. Making friends is the last thing Arden wants, but annoying or not, he can’t get the damn man out of his mind.

Finding peace in their isolated surroundings, the two lonely men forge an unlikely friendship where they realize they’re more alike than different and better together than apart. With Ross’s help, Arden begins to rebuild the shattered pieces of his life, while Arden gives Ross the strength to face his fears and find his way home. When love comes calling you can choose to hide from hurt, loss, and pain, but if you take a chance and open the door, you might discover that running from your heart is the last thing you'll want to do.


  Running from My Heart by Felice Stevens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Losing someone you loved dearly and your whole life could be devastating. Unfortunately it happened with Ross and Arden. Running away from their life, they met in the middle of a nature where once they're expected to find peace.
Almost like love at first sight (or grumble), Ross and Arden found their life's back in each other's hands, rearranging back their shattered life back to (almost) normal.

Once again, this book hit close to home for me, and Felice wrote it like I wanted it to write down. The whole shattered dreams, the grieves, the hope, and finding a reason to keep on going and move on.

“People talk about their lovers being an anchor, but anchors weigh you down. You kept me afloat. You’re my life preserver. You lifted me up and kept me from sinking back into the darkness. You not only saved my life and showed me how to live it, you gave me something worth living for.”

Running From My Heart touched my heart in every way possible, and what Arden had been through before and even after years later, got me crying and wanted to hold him to my heart. But he got Ross,the bad boy with a tortured pastwho's willingly loving him with all his heart.

Running From My Heart was a beautiful story about second chances, and finding love again in a place you'll never thought you'll find.
Ross and Arden will stay with me for a very long time. Thank you Felice Stevens !

RELEASE BLITZ AND REVIEW : Best Man Close Proximity Lily Morton

Best Man

Close Proximity

Lily Morton

M/M Romance

Release Blitz: 10.03.19

Blurb

Zeb Evans doesn’t do messy.

The product of a disorganised and chaotic childhood, Zeb likes order and control, and as the boss of his own employment agency he can give that to himself. Life runs along strict lines and he never mixes business with pleasure. Everything in his life lives in neat, alphabetized boxes. Until Jesse.

Jesse Reed is Zeb’s complete opposite. He’s chaos personified. A whirling cyclone of disorder. He’s also charming and funny and a very unwanted distraction.

Which is why it comes as a complete surprise to Zeb to find himself asking Jesse to pose as his boyfriend for a few days in the country at a wedding.

Zeb doesn’t do impulsive, but as the time away progresses, he finds himself increasingly drawn to the merry and irreverent Jesse. But can he bring himself to break the hard-won lessons he’s learnt in life? And even if he can, how could Jesse be attracted to him anyway? He’s so much older than Jesse, not to mention being his boss.

From the bestselling author of the Mixed Messages and Finding Home series comes a warm and funny romance about one man’s fight for control and another man’s determination to circumvent it.

This is the first book in the Close Proximity series, but it can be read as a standalone.

Excerpt He looks at me and sighs wearily. “Do you think you could possibly behave?” he finally says. I bite my lip. “I don’t think it would be entirely honest of me to promise that,” I say slowly. “Especially if people keep treating you like you’re some sort of desperate stalker. It’s not fair.” I frown. “You’re doing bloody Patrick a favour. They should be thanking you, not treating you like an unexploded bomb from the war that might go off in suburbia and wreck someone’s lavender bush.” He blinks. “Where the hell did that come from?” He pauses. “And why am I the unexploded relic from the war?” I smile at him sympathetically. “You have a lot of pent-up aggression,” I inform him.

Lily writes contemporary romance novels, and specialises in hot love stories with a good dose of humour. Lily lives in sunny England with her husband and two children, all of whom claim that they haven’t had a proper conversation with her since she bought her first Kindle. She has spent her life with her head full of daydreams and decided one day to just sit down and start writing about them. In the process she discovered that she actually loved writing, because how else could she get to spend her time with hot, funny men! She loves chocolate and Baileys and the best of all creations – chocolate Baileys! Her lifetime’s ambition is to have a bath in peace without being shouted by one of her family.

Best Man by Lily Morton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is why Lily Morton's book has easily becomes my favourite comfort read. The banter are stellar, and hilarious.
But never cheap, because Lily also put some twist, right to your heart.
Best man is about all I love in my book, age gap, funny banter, right portion of twist and a tiny bit of angst.
And Jesse! OMG I loved Jesse, while I wanted to punch Zeb sometimes, because his too stupid to realise that Patrick used him.
Best Man was a fun, unputdownable read I always craved from Lily Morton.
Highly recommended.
