A Stella Review: Three Cakes by Kim Davis

RATING 1,5 out of 5 stars

When Chicago ophthalmologist Patrick Holt meets transplanted southerner Clayton Teal at a dinner party, the attraction between them is immediate and mutual. Two men bond over Patrick’s love of food and Clay’s love of cooking.

But Patrick and Clay soon realize tasty dinners and delicious desserts sometimes aren’t enough to make a relationship work. Can Clay and Patrick keep their romance from falling flat?

Three Cakes by Kim Davis really didn’t work for me, although I’m a huge fan of short stories; but only when they are well done and this one wasn’t. I have nothing to say about the writing, the problem was the plot, the development of the romance and the characters. The first two were non-existent, the last one pretty useless and boring. I wasn’t able to feel Patrick and Neal, no chemistry, no love, almost two strangers, no emotions involved. I knew nothing about them. The development of the plot left me speechless and bewildered. I didn’t like at all they way they acted with each others.

This is not how shorts should work, I’m truly disappointed by the lack of everything that should caught my attention and let me spend some time in the good company of well done words.

The cover art by Written Ink Designs is lovely and cute, I like it.

An Alisa Review: The Pirate’s Cove (Portland’s Men #2) by Michelle King

Rating:  3 stars out of 5

 

The Pirates CoveJamie loves Morgan and he has for years. He just couldn’t tell anyone about it. Now he’s finally free, and he wants to tell everyone. Starting with Morgan. But what if Morgan doesn’t want to commit? After all, he’s been keeping Morgan his dirty secret for years.

Morgan DJs at The Pirate’s Cove on the weekends. It’s the perfect place to meet up with his lover. At least… so Jamie hopes.

 

Jamie has been meeting secretly with Morgan at pre-arranged times for years.  They both have loved each other just as long, but never expressed their feelings.  When Jamie is finally free to be with Morgan his ex wife begins to cause problems.

 

It’s easy to see how Jamie and Morgan feel about each other when they are together.  I liked this book because it shows how far some people will go to get their way and how it affects others.  My only complaint is that most of the story was spent on the search and work for Jamie to get his children back and for a short story it didn’t leave much room for Jamie and Morgan’s relationship.

 

Cover art by GD Leigh is eye catching and is part of what made me interested in the book.
