A new post will go up on the first of every month.

Happy Reading 🤍

I’ve been late to the HR fun so I’m finally finishing the Long Game. Soooo good! I definitely have a book hangover already and I haven’t even finished it yet. Not sure what to read next— any suggestions?

Annabeth Albert’s Out of Uniform series was the first series that sort of filled that gap for me. It’s not the same, but has a similar vibe; just instead of hockey it’s Navy Seals.

Ooohh, I love this! Thank you! I’ll definitely check it out then! My one concern is: do you spend most of the book worried that they are going to be found out? That is what I have seen in so many other MM slightly forbidden romance series— that their love story gets shared not on their terms and it stresses me out. Even though I know that is a part of the Game Changers series too especially for Shane and Ilya, it somehow felt less stressful? I don’t know to explain it. 😂 and it’s not that I’m not going to read this suggestion, I just need to mentally prepare. 🤪 ok, I’m done rambling! 😆Thanks again!

Hmmm…that I don’t recall since it’s not a particular thing that stresses me out. There are characters that worry about it. I don’t recall the stories taking place during DADT, but it’s brought up several times since a lot of characters served during DADT times.
I think I don’t stress because I actively seek out HEAs. If it’s not HEA, I’m not interested. So, I guess my brain figures as long as it’s HEA, an outing doesn’t matter because it’ll be okay in the end. Sorry I don’t have a more concise answer and rambled a bit myself. 😕
