Enjoyable story of a ex-marine Cole, who was kicked out because of DADT and writer (moonlighting as a waiter) Marc.It was a rocky start, both with some baggage from past relationships on Marc's part and PTSD and coming to terms with family issues and changes in careers for Cole.It was nothing new or...
3.5 star. Nice story. I liked both Cole and Marc. Cole was so easy to fall in love with. Such a sweet guy who was going through some very real struggles in adjusting from his military life. He was symphathetic, easy to understand, and had a big desire to love. Marc was frustrating at times but I und...
Thank you, Cat, for a very nice afternoon! Couldn't stop reading, which doesn't happen very often. The story moved along very nicely, despite the rocky start. Marc and Cole had their problems, but managed to work them out - believable building of a relationship.
3.5 starsThis book should put a WARNING of 1st and 3rd POV switches. Everything from Marc's POV is 1st person and those from Cole's is 3rd POV.

Then we have a character who is a writer working in a dinner who has always had male ...
Very average story about a former Marine with PTSD and a new romance writing boyfriend, homophobic Dad and Alzheimer's Mom.The POV is constantly shifting between first person for Marc (the boyfriend) and 3rd person for the Marine.I never warmed up to either character at all. The fear of commitment,...
Very good m/m romance about a waiter who's always been really attracted to Marines, although it's never turned out well for him. But when an extremely handsome guy (obviously a Marine) sits in his section, he's drawn to the guy despite himself. There's more to both of them than what meets the eye - ...
I enjoyed it, but I didn't think it quite lived up to the (exceedingly high) standard I'm under the impression Riptide intends to meet. I cringed at the use of baby oil as lube with condoms and was surprised the characters didn't know better. And there was one Saturday night outing that suddenly bec...
