Review: A Christmas Outing: A Veterans Affairs Story by A.E. Wasp
Rating: 3.25š A Christmas Outing is a wonderful heartwarming holiday story whose narrative gifts are tarnished by the errors and mistakes that are found inside. Continuity issues, once again, thy name is A Veterans Affairs. The most striking example is Troyās best friend growing up, Leo. A closeted gay himself, it was his death that… Continue reading Review: A Christmas Outing: A Veterans Affairs Story by A.E. Wasp
Review: Incoming : A Veterans Affair Novel by A.E. Wasp
Rating: 3.5š Incoming, the beginning of Waspās Veterans Affairs series, is a terrific book marred by poor editing and continuity issues, things that unfortunately continue into the next story, Christmas Outing. Released in 2016, it dates itself with elements that I regard fondly. Music, a car with actual paper road maps in the passenger seat,… Continue reading Review: Incoming : A Veterans Affair Novel by A.E. Wasp
Review: Foxed by Jay Hogan
Rating: 3š Foxed, Fuddled, Swallowed a Hare, and Other Words for āDrunkā. Right from the title, Jay Hoganās new release and I just couldnāt connect. For me, foxed always has meant drunk. Hogan goes with a different definition. FOXED: To be thrown into a state of uncertainty-flustered, bamboozled, bewildered, puzzled, vexed. Thatās how I felt… Continue reading Review: Foxed by Jay Hogan

Itās not that the writing has been… Continue reading Review: Rocky Start (A-List Security Book 4) by Annabeth Albert

Review: Heppel Ever After (Learning to Love #5) by Con Riley
Rating: 5š Charles and Hugo. I should leave it at that but once more Con Riley has written a deeply emotional multi layered story thatās only supposed to be about a coupleās journey to get married. With this author and couple, itās never that superficial. Honestly, Charles and Hugo might not even have gotten married… Continue reading Review: Heppel Ever After (Learning to Love #5) by Con Riley
Review: Charles: Learning to Love #1 by Con Riley
Rating: 5š I backed into Charles by way of several of Con Rileyās free holiday stories. Each offered glimpses into this now established coupleās lives and most intimate moments. The first revolves around a foster child that had been returned to them numerous times. Itās a beautiful story about a imperfectly perfect baby and a… Continue reading Review: Charles: Learning to Love #1 by Con Riley
Review: Stephen’s Translator (Shadow Elite #0.5) by Jocelynn Drake
