Lesson: The best way to get someone’s attention is in a bathroom stall at a club.
Main Thought: At the beginning I did not like Jaxson, but once he opens up to Dante, you start to feel badly for him. The story was difficult to deal with at times because unfortunately some of these events still happen today. Overall, I really enjoyed the book.


Warning: violent hate crimes


Jaxson is the local sheriff and his father is the mayor. Jaxson it’s gay, but breaks up with his best friend/boyfriend, Kian, because he wants to come out, and Jaxson it’s too afraid. Dante moves to Brigs Ferry Bay with his brother and sister to open a B&B. When Dante tries to make a move on Kian, Jaxson becomes protective. The tension continues to increase until Dante finally takes charge and gives Jaxson what he thinks he needs. While Jaxson and Dante keep their relationship a secret, will they be enough for Dante? Will Jaxson ever decide to come out? As more hate crimes begin in the town, will Jaxson be able to protect the LGBTQIA+ community?

Lesson: If you haven’t dated in a while, check out your best friend, that might be the answer.
Main Thought: I loved the book. Before I started it, I thought it was long for a romance novel, but it moved at a good place and really showed the questions and hesitation about coming out.


Zane and Ryan met in college since they played on the same team. Then they were drafted by the same NHL team. After Zane’s breakup with his college girlfriend almost cost him his career, they decided that they both wanted to focus on their hockey careers before they dated anyone. They were best friends, roommates, and teammates. Another player in the league held a press conference and came out as bisexual. This made Ryan start thinking about Zane differently. Ryan finally mentioned it to Zane, but Zane was hesitant. What will happen if they choose to explore this relationship between them? How will their teammates, franchise, and families react?

Lesson: If you want to escape from your life, make sure the man that saves you had an inheritance and is a famous millionaire.
Main Thought: It was slow moving for the first half of the book, then it got really good. However, towards the end there was a lot of repetition. I definitely want to read Knight’s story when it comes out. I also don’t like a woman that lies about a man forcing himself on her which could be why it took me a while to get into the book.


Solene grew up in a Mafia family and Declan saved her twice, once from a group of men and then again from an arranged marriage. Declan becomes a famous actor and promises to take her to LA and introduce her to people that can help her start a singing career. Declan wants revenge on Solene for everything that happened to him because of her choices. Once Declan gets Solene to LA and she’s living in his house, he has trouble resisting her. Both Declan and Solene value their careers and put them ahead of their relationships. Will they be able to figure out what they want before it’s too late?
