I really enjoyed this book. The accents and environment really brought New Orleans back to me. The story was sweet and poignant; there really is no mystery or big explosion, just a love story.There is a lot sex, so if that bothers you then this book is not for you. But I enjoyed it and I will c...

maybe a 2.5, I liked the writing and the plot, but just some issues with execution and sexual situations

I think this book had great potential. I love books set in Louisiana (blame Anne Rice, if you must), so I was super excited to read this. And for a while, that excitement was justified. It's well-written and smoking hot but it moves too fast. I feel like the author tried to cram so much drama into s...

I have to stop breaking my rule about not buying books by authors I don't know.

3.5-4 stars. Very good contemporary m/m story with genuine and sympathetic characters. The sexytimes were really hottt and well done. Darcy's discovery of himself and his sexuality was pretty engrossing to watch, and so was seeing the hard-living tattooed bad boy Caleb fall hard for preppy seemingly...

I keep finding myself conflicted when it comes to books by this author! I find her style engaging and engrossing, so much so that my emotional reaction is to love her books. But they don't stand up to any sort of rational scrutiny, and that disappoints me.I got really confused by mentions of Darcy b...

I really don't know what to say about this book other than I loved it. It's very rare that a book catches my interest the way this one did. I fell in love with Darcy and Caleb almost immediately. They have great chemistry together. The book took me about 6 hours to read. I couldn't put it down, an...

Mercy Celeste's plots are pretty much the same: a lot of doubts, several sex scenes and someone who runs to the hills. Here, in my opinion, this formula does not work because the characters aren't strong(hot) enough to support it. In particular, if I had Darcy tied to a leg, I would cut it off just ...
