Come meet Harrison & Benny in this Bi awakening, opposites attract romance…

More about

Harrison
My life’s goal? Make plants fun!

I’m gonna be fighting for flora when I’m older and it all starts with auditing stats so I can level up for my masters, and lucky for me, the intriguing guy in my class is a math whizz.

He’s standoffish at first, but after a class where I bet my sitcoms can make him laugh, one bet leads to another and we’re hanging out all the time. Even though I know he’s interested in me, we’re easy friends, until I start to think I might be a little interested in him, too.

The only problem? He seems like a totally different guy in class to when we hang out. I brush it off as him trying to concentrate, but then I spot something I can’t explain away.

A scar. On his palm.

One I’m positive Benny has never had before.

Benny
Since we were little, my twin brother and I have always switched things up–literally. It started as funsies, and now we’re college juniors and still taking each other’s classes. I suck at Math, he sucks at English, and we both have a rule not to make friends in class as the other person. Our system is perfect.

Only Emmett has the audacity to get sick right before stats and I have to actually show up for my own class–where I meet my future husband.

Harrison is smart, weirdly into plants, and we instantly hit it off like old friends.

Only of course the gorgeous mountain of a nerd is straight.

Just when I’m telling myself to let my dreams of matching rings go, our text messages become constant, flirtier, deeper than I’ve had with any other guy before. My butterflies have butterflies every time we catch up.

And then I get a text from Emmett: I’m so sorry. I think I messed up.

Ahhh, I love hockey in the afternoons.

As a part of my physical TBR challenge, I decided to pick this one up, plus I really really REALLY wanted to read it. I don’t know what it is about Elle Kennedy’s hockey romances, but they just hit differently. I think it is the fact she is the reason I have been in my hockey era for YEARS. First she started me on hockey in general and then it was M/M Hockey Romances and it’s been all uphill from there.

: What author or series started your hockey romance era? Or what author have you read the most of so far in 2024?

On the night of Levi’s high school graduation party, Peyton & Levi meet, kiss & have a moment that will change both of their lives forever. Yet, they both pretend it meant & was nothing when in reality it was everything.

The Talon/Miller clan is a force to be reckoned with & I loved every minute of it. Although Peyton is the King of the FU campus, he does it with care & openness. He isn’t all jockstrappy, it’s a word! Or a vibe. His parents gave him such a great foundation; and he has built on it and he takes a piece of both with him in everything he does. He’s the blend of both.

Levi is quiet in a different way. His confidence is backed by the money his parents bestow and although he is attempting to break free it is easier knowing he can do it with the money he has at his back. He’s not the typical upper crust do**he. He wants to be better & do better.

It’s when they collide again that their story truly begins. Can you truly have everything you never knew you always wanted? Read on to find out if they can, and how their family plays a role in making or breaking their hearts.

The next season of Franklin U Shenanigans has begun!

Join .Romance.Reviews in celebrating the release of The Hookup Mix-Up by Today!

Come meet Perry & Theo in this hookup gone wrong, strangers to friends to lovers romance…

More about

Perry
I moved to San Luco to get to know my brother, and so far, it’s been great. Working as a bartender at Shenanigans, a bar close to Franklin University, there are beautiful men and women everywhere. When a hot guy falls into my arms at a party, I’m down for some naughty fun. Until I realize he’s way too drunk for anything to happen. Thankfully, we agree to meet up the next day.

One near kiss later, I discover Theo has no idea I’ve been hitting on him. He thinks we’re hanging out as buddies, and to my great regret, says he’s straight. How did I misread this situation when I thought he was giving me all the right signals?

Theo
Perry thinks I’m a nine…a nine! Sure, I’m not into dudes, but it’s flattering that someone as attractive as him thinks I’m hot. Despite the confusion, Perry and I click and agree to keep hanging out. The more time I spend with him, the more I realize there’s a part of myself I’ve been ignoring. One that’s super bi and wants Perry as more than a friend.

Trying to study with him makes things hard for me…below the belt. Unfortunately, his abandonment issues have him open to a fling and nothing more, while I’m catching feelings in a big way. Can I be satisfied with a hookup? Or should I find a way to convince him to take a chance on making this something real?

It’s the Monday after a holiday Monday and I’m annoyed it isn’t another holiday. I wish it could be another day of diving heart first into another amazing book.

These 4 books contain shades of blue and are from my ginormous physical TBR.

I accidentally read Billionaires & Bodyguards before the Addicted/Calloway Sisters series oops. At some point I will have to go back and read that whole series.

I’ve heard amazing things about Better than the Movies by Lynn Painter and Offside by Avery Keelan. Who has the 4-1-1 on the Shain Rose?

Apparently I’m going through a phase of being annoyed at myself for leaving books on my TBR for too long.

I am OBSESSED with Dalton and this book. He is everything I love in a character, full of sass, humor and heart. Also, he’s a dinosaur shifter with a penchant for pink and lives life loud.

I discovered this author and this series when I went to last year, and it has been sitting on my shelf staring at me, judging me, waiting for me to be ready. It’s been a while since I’ve read a shifter romance, and TBH I was kind of intimidated by it. I was worried it would be over my head because I am not my nibling and I am not well versed in dinosaur knowledge.

This is a fun, m/m romance full of snark, banter and fossil hunters and I can’t wait to get my hands on more books in this series at .

: What book on your TBR intimidates you most and why? Or alternatively, what color book cover draws you in?

I loved them. I loved that Chris wanted to give Aiden a glow up not because of his looks, but really to help improve his mental health and bring joy back to his life.

When I first read this AM Johnson was a new to me author and I fell in love. This is one of my favorites in the series and I love being a part of their story.

Chris is everything light and sparkly in the world. He sees things through a different lens. He isn't a himbo and he values people and experiences which made him easy for Aiden to connect to.

Aiden has the weight of his whole world on his shoulders. He's made a lot of choices out of obligation because he thought he had to and was unable to see any other way to fix what was going on his life.

Their relationship wasn't all hot and steamy, it was slow and tender which I loved.

Charlie is absolutely 10000% clueless. He's endearing, funny, giving and incredibly loving. In general he is a really really good person. One who ends up realizing he may have been inadvertently been hurting people. He has so much, love, money and time to give that he does so freely which causes him to be in need a little relationship guidance.

Enter Liam, Mr. Romance himself. Who is tasked with helping Charlie figure out how to not repeat the same mistakes.

What I love about this is that first impressions don't always tell the whole story. Also, I adore Charlie because he really does see people. He thrives on being a part of your life, and wants to know you. It's what makes him such an endearing and lovable character. The way he saw Liam immediately speaks to who is as a person and I love that only us readers got to know it.

The Dalton Twins. Bennett & Emmett. The perfect set, the dynamic duo, two halves of a whole. It’s always been them vs the world. The only problem is being a part of a pair doesn't give you the same set of coping skills. There is always someone there to pick up where you fall down. Also, no one truly knows either one of them. They keep everyone at a distance to protect themselves. This goes for family & friends. There is one notable exception; Harrison “Bowser” Dunn. He kinda slid into both Em & Ben’s world, without either knowing. To Em he is Bowser, and to Ben he is Harrison. I loved getting to see how Bowser’s story came full circle. When Bowser first met “Ben”, it was actually Em. The twins still trade places like they change underwear. It’s worked for them their whole lives, why stop now? When Harrison meets the real Ben, the connection is different. The chemistry has shifted & Harrison is finding himself drawn to Ben in a way he’s never experienced before. Ben is light, fun, charismatic & he brings something to Harrison’s life he didn’t realize was lacking. Harrison does the same for Ben, he has taken the time to actually see Ben, & get to know Ben. Although Harrison has been spending time with both twins unbeknownst to him, he notices the slight shifts in their personalities. He can feel something is off, but he doesn’t know why. Until one day, one scar, and one truth is revealed. This is a sweet story of self discovery on many different levels. It’s funny, it’s light, it brings the Daltons back into our life. . I”m looking forward to seeing how Em’s story unfolds & how the rest of season 2 plays out. Up next is Batting Style by Louisa Masters. #mmromancereader #mmromancelover #romancestagram #mmromanceauthors #loveislove #gayromance #mmromancenovel #discovermmromance #celebratemmromance #shadesofromance #shadesofromancefbgroup #mmreadersofig #readersofinstagram #romancenovels #mmrom

I don’t read a lot of military romance. It really isn’t a subgenre that I seek out, but my first book by Eden Finley was Iris. Iris is and always will be one of my favorites because he is the type of character I always fall for. The loud mouth, egotistical ones who love so big and so openly it’s hard not to fall for them. The Mike Bravo Ops series is about ex-military operatives who have formed a brotherhood because of their shared history of being gay in the military. Their unique experiences have forged a bond between them and built a safe place for them to land. As with most of Eden’s books, this is a low angst, high banter series full of larger than life characters and an almost obsessive love for things that go Boom. So on this Memorial Day and in honor or ALL the service people who sacrificed themselves for us all, I’m devoting this #MMMonday to this series. #QOTD: What is your favorite military romance? Bonus points if it is M/M or what was the last book to make you cry? #mmromancereader #mmromancelover #romancestagram #mmromanceauthors #loveislove #gayromance #mmromancenovel #discovermmromance #celebratemmromance #bestmmromance #mmreadersofig #readersofinstagram #romancenovels #mmromancenovels #mmromanceauthor #bookaddict #bookobsessed #booknerd #booklover #bookworm #shelfreflections #mmmonday #mikebravoops #edenfinley

Today is a day to remember ALL the service people who have protected OUR lives, liberties and freedoms with their own. Their sacrifice is one we can repay by making the World a better place. Spread love not hate. #memorialday #remember #lgbtqia+ #military #servicepeople #alwaysremember

Mars is life

Mars, Mars, Mars, Mars How is it that a man who says little can speak volumes? Even though this book was Tess & Ryan’s story, Mars stole the show for me, with his quiet friendship and steadfast love.
