Review: Cowboy Healing (Cowboy Wanted Book 1) by B.A. Tortuga

Review: Cowboy Healing (Cowboy Wanted Book 1) by B.A. Tortuga

Rating: 3🌈 Cowboy Healing has some good narrative elements to it. The basic storyline is good. The characters with the children are very well written. And while it took me a hot minute to connect with a cowboy whose sole aim for working for a overwhelmed widowed parent is to ingratiate himself into his good graces in order to get his family off the ranch, well, yeah. I bet I’m not the only…

Sunday reading recap (11-Jun-2017)

A Mended Man (The Men of Halfway House #4, Jaime Reese) tw: rape, violent assault. This was a good installment in the series but it definitely started with & had darker themes than the rest. And there was no magical ‘love heals’ - both guys still had jagged pieces but learned how to fit them together.

A Worthy Man (The Men of Halfway House #5, Jaime Reese)

Mr. Loverman (Bernadine Evaristo) - DNF - excellent narrative voice but the plot just didn't grab me. I really wanted to like it, we need more books with older queer romance but I could not get into the characters at all. 

Seashores of Old Mexico (BA Tortuga) - short, sweet, sexy story about a guy on the run who ends up finding home

DR. DOA (Secret Histories #10, Simon R Green) - this is a series I like, and when the most recent one came out, I realized I was one behind. Eddie’s a dead man walking in this one, trying to solve his own murder.

Catch and Release (The Release, #3)

Catch and Release (The Release, #3) by B.A. Tortuga

Dakota Landry just got out of prison after twelve years. If anyone can understand how that feels, it’s his new friend, Sage, who is determined to help him get used to life on the outside—and believes Dakota didn’t commit the crime he was in for. Jayden Wilson is a former prosecutor who agrees to look into the case at the request of Sage’s lover, Adam. He sets out to prove Dakota is just another “innocent” ex-con, but once they meet, Jayden is more and more convinced Dakota just didn’t do what everyone thinks he did. Trouble follows Dakota, and nothing is easy as he struggles to figure out how to live, now that he has choices. And Jayden isn’t sure how Dakota, or any lover for that matter, fits into his life. Their path from friendship to romance is a slow one, but Dakota begins to believe he deserves a chance at life, and Jayden falls a little more for Dakota every day. Now they just need to tell each other how they feel.

Sunday reading recap (21-May-2017)

2nd week in a row where I’m basically checked out of the news. I really needed the break. And this 4-day weekend isn’t hurting. I’ve been watching a lot more TV than usual too, so less reading.

Huntsmen (Michelle Osgood) - I really liked the first one in this series, and I don’t know why it took me so long to get to the 2nd one (except that I have this thing where I sometimes hoard the books I know I’m going to like best, in case I need an antidote from something, I guess). And of course, I did really like this one as well! Fun to get back to the lady-loving werewolves with action and danger and some angst and a lot of really really hot sex. Shout out to a decent amount of anal play between the ladies because why should that be restricted to just the guys. Also, how much do I love that the werewolf oversight/council thingy’s acronym is GNAAW. SO MUCH I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

A Summer For Scandal (Lydia San Andres) - historical (1911) het romance set in the Spanish Caribbean. Very fun, definite Pride & Prejudice vibe (which is a big compliment let me be very clear), our MCs are each writing under pseudonyms and irritating one another. 

River of Teeth (Sarah Gailey) - this was a seriously FUN ROMP! An alt-history novella where an assembled crew of miscreants (of a solid mix of sexuality/gender/race) is hired to get rid of feral hippos who have become lethal nuisance in the southern part of the Mississippi. I straight up expected everyone to die, but mostly they did not. Inspired by a real-life plan (never realized) to import hippos for ranching in the bayous of Louisiana.

Two Cowboys and a Baby (B.A. Tortuga) - This was just fun & ridiculous. It had so many tropes crammed in, I just kept laughing. I’m rather ‘meh’ on kids IRL so I don’t know why I kinda love accidental baby acquisition but I do. And my love for cowboy stories is well-known. So this was friends-to-lovers with the catalyst for the change being a baby left on cowboy 1′s doorstep. Also, the sheriff’s name is Pooter.

Knit One, Girl Two (Shira Glassman) - this was so adorable!!! Two sweetheart Jewish girls: Clara’s an indie yarn dyer, Danielle is an artist. Clara is inspired to do some yarn based on Danielle’s paintings, so they do some business together and then get together. Short & super sweet.

Fav book of the week: RIVER OF TEETH - I mean, c’mon! It’s basically a caper fic and It has people riding hippos!
