While I liked the writing in this book, and the characters the authors created, especially Akshat, Navashen's younger brother, the romance part didn't work as well for me.Navashen returns to Lexington, where he grew up with his parents and younger brother in rather poor circumstances, after sixteen ...
“In life, unlike chess, the game continues after checkmate.” ~ Isaac AsimovTeodoro Ciéza de Vivar of 'Checkmate' by Nicki Bennet and Arial Tachna, has one main concern—supporting his son, Esteban. Anything else, including his own pleasure, takes second place. His occupation as a mercenary is a dange...

3.5 starsI think this is probably the FINAL book of Lang Downs series? Because it seemed like it tied up all loose ends, including 'matching' up Jason and Seth, who have been together as best friends since early in book #2. Cherish the Land had two major plots. One is Seth and Jason. The other one i...
2.75 rounded upI had to agree with most of what my friend, Veronica, thought of this one. This is definitely my least favorite of the series so far. The attempt to kill the fire was good enough action though; it gave something more adrenaline worthy compared to the usual day-to-day life of the ranch...
3.5 starsI approached this book with a LOT of trepidation -- mainly because the blurb stated "emotionally abusive wife". I have come into that phase in my MM-romance-reading life, where I got strong dislike with women being portrayed as villains in the process of the two men getting together. Howeve...
3.5 starsI enjoyed this more so than the first book, even if the story did feel a little mundane in the middle. I could feel Chris and Jesse's connection much stronger than Caine and Macklin (I was surprised when Caine and Macklin had their first kiss, but I was anticipating Chris and Jesse's here)....
It was a nice, okay read, nothing remarkable but still able to get me through the end. I liked the setting in Australia. It was good to read a different setting from the USA once in a while. I liked that Caine's stutters to be constant, not suddenly disappear; I liked that it was part of him. I did ...
I always think that horses are majestic animals. I admire them from afar because being up high on their back is kinda scary. I have only two experiences in my lifetime of riding them. So in terms of Luke and his connection with King of Hearts in this book, I really enjoyed it. I liked that there wer...
3.5 starsI wasn't as emotionally invested to Benicio and Alberto as I do with other couples I love better, although I did like them. I also wish for less sex scenes at the second half of this book. I mean, it felt like those moments were stretched out to fulfill a 'sex-scene' quota, or to reach a no...
