Rec: To Target the Heart (Spellster Series #2)
Title: To Target the Heart (Spellster Series #2) Author: Aldrea Alien Format: Kindle Published/Free: Published. $2.99 (until the 15th of April) Length: 598 Status: Complete book of on-going series Rating: Mature Warnings: Suicide attempt. Violence. Homophobia. Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0834FL7QG Summary:
How can he win with the odds stacked against him?
Prince Hamish has no interest in fulfilling his duty of marrying. Not to a woman, at least. That doesn’t stop his mother, Queen Fiona, from presenting him with every eligible noblewoman that enters their castle. He’s certain it’ll be no different with the representative of the Udynea Empire.
So when they do arrive, Hamish is relieved the imperial prince, Darshan, is not the woman everyone expected. Until the man kisses him and Hamish is confronted by the very emotions he has been forced to conceal or be punished for. Emotions he is eager to explore.
But the kiss proves to be a little too public and leads his mother to take drastic measures to ensure Hamish adheres to her family vision. The contest of arms will force Hamish to make a choice: give up his happiness for convention’s sake or send the kingdom spiralling into civil war for the right to love his own way.
Review: Entertaining read. Really liked Darshan and Hamish. Excited for what happens next!
Rec: Fourth Point of Contact (Legends of Lobe den Herren Book 1)
Title: Fourth Point of Contact (Legends of Lobe den Herren Book 1) Author: AJ Sherwood Format: Kindle; Paperback Published/Free: $3.99; $13.99 Length: 335 Status: Ongoing series Rating: Mature Warnings: Death Link: https://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Point-Contact-Legends-Herren-ebook/dp/B07JJZR6H9/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3866HGLRLJ0XZ&keywords=fourth+point+of+contact+aj+sherwood&qid=1560636918&s=gateway&sprefix=the+fourth+point+%2Caps%2C158&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1 Summary:
“Renjimantoro.”
Ren’s head snapped up, as Brahms only used his full name when being completely serious.
Those dark blue eyes met his levelly, penetratingly, as if he could see every thought going through Ren’s head. And he likely could. The man was exceptionally good at seeing through people. “Come with me.”
Oh hell. He really had no defenses against that plea. Brahms rarely asked anything of him, and every time he had, it turned out to be for Ren’s own good. “You realize that if I go, your reputation is never going to recover. People assume I’ve seduced you over to my side as it is.”
Brahms just stared at him.
“Right, you don’t care. Of course you don’t, silly me, why am I worrying about it?” Relief filled him, making him a little giddy with it, and he had the strangest urge to giggle. Which wasn’t manly, he stamped that out immediately, but still a grin took over his face. “Alright, alright, I’ll go home with you.”
—
Not once in the past five years has Castle Warden Sho Renjimantoro regretted following his best friend to Aart. How can he regret it when he finds open acceptance regarding his sexuality from everyone around him (even if they don’t understand it), and he gets to be with the man most important to him?
No, finding someone in this country is a fantasy best forgotten.
General Arman Brahms, finally home from deployment, has waited over two years to show Ren he’s wrong, that fantasies can come true. Unfortunately, his plans get put on hold to help Ren solve the crisis unfolding in the castle.
Someone is doing their level best to make sure the engagement of Prince Charles and Princess Alexandria of Scovia falls through—by fair means or foul. In addition, they’re trying to make Ren deemed incompetent and dismissed from his position. While hunting for the perpetrator, Ren and Arman do everything in their power to protect those they’re sworn to before the irredeemable occurs.
And along the way, prove that even an ordinary life can become extraordinary.
Review: A nice entertaining read. Really liked Arman and Ren. Excited to see what happens next!
Sesame But Different
Title: Sesame But Different Author: Chia Format: Webcomic Published/Free: Free Length: Currently on episode 11, ongoing with new episodes every Sunday. Status: Ongoing Rating: Everyone Warnings: None Link: https://sesamebutdifferent.tumblr.com/ Summary: Slice of life lesbian webcomic featuring Chia and Poppy – two girls named after seeds who also happen to be dating each other. They are same-same (or sesame), but different.
Review: This is my own comic, so I’d rather not provide my own (generally self-deprecating) feelings about my work, but would love to hear feedback on how I can improve.
Rec: Can't a Guy Visit a Friend?
Title: Can’t a Guy Visit a Friend? Author: TheCaliMack Format: Short Story Published/Free: Free Length: 2779 words Status: Complete Rating: T Warnings: Mentions of Attempted Suicide (though not graphic at all) Link: AO3 link GayAuthors link Summary: Miguel comes to visit his friend Tristan, but notices something is amiss when the man opens his door to him.
Intuition has never failed him before, but it never prepared him for what he’d see.
Review: Reviewing my own story seems sort of moot, but the comments and reviews I got from the websites all tell me that my work was quite the tear-jerker. It’s a cathartic piece that is a great blend of sweetness and angst, ending on a heart-warming note. Read and you’ll see what I mean.
Rec: Like and Subscribe
Title: Like and Subscribe Author: Jay Bell Format: Short story Published/Free: Free Length: 79 pages Status: Complete Rating: Teen Warnings: None Link: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/382598 Summary: Evan Hansen has been in love with YouTube star Tony Taylor since they were in high school together. Now Tony seems to be interested in Evan. There’s just one problem – Tony’s boyfriend, Orlando Logan doesn’t seem to be as cool with an open relationship as Tony says he is.
Review: People aren’t always who they seem, and love isn’t always where you expect it. This is a charming story about letting go of old dreams in order to form new ones. It also has cupcakes and a three-legged rescue dog.
Rec: More Than You Know
Title: More Than You Know Author: ColdCoffeeEyes25 Format: Novel Published/Free: Free Length: 114k Status: Complete Rating: Teen Warnings: None Link: https://www.fictionpress.com/s/2457343/1/More_Than_You_Know Summary: She’s an incognito pop star trying to break away from her white-supremacist family while fighting off paparazzi, homesickness and forbidden romantic feelings that could sever her family ties once and for all.
Review: This is a unique and gripping story, different to all the romances out there, through the white-supremacist angle that has shown exquisite research and knowledge into the area. Each individual character are spot on with their dialogue and their progression throughout their story, allowing for you to build a rapport with them and feel a range of emotions. Alongside Liberty, I could easily feel the confusion, the conflict and the pride as she slowly seeks her independence from her controlling family and becomes her own person.
P.S. Don’t let the length scare you! It’s worth it and you won’t even notice it.
