Oooooooh, Game Maker and Enigma…YES!!!! π
I thought Until You Come Back to Me was going to be for me as well, but I read the full blurb and…yeah, I already hate him. And I won’t be forgiving him no matter what. Because I’m judgemental with double standards like that. *sigh* And to think I’m missing out on all the angst it probably has…
YESSSS AMY! THOSE. Exactly!!! LOL!
And lol Amy… I knew that one was an iffy addition to the list. π
Amy, I have a mm rec for you if you ever venture into that sub-genre.
Wolfsong by TJ Klune
One reviewer explained it
“So, verdict? Awesome? Heartbreaking? Worth it? Wanna punch TJ in the dick? ;- )” … My only thought was “all of the above…”
Doesn’t come out until June 20th so you can ramp up. π
Maryse, you have Madelynne Ellis on your list. Her’s was the first erotica book I ever read. She’s branched out into other genres but her name always catches my eye. π
Which book was it Fabi? (The first one you read, I mean).
The Beyond series is beyond wicked sexy!!! BDSM dystopian… Totally sums up that crazy world. I shouldn’t like it, but, dang it, I do!!! It’s sooooo good.
Method 15/33 sounds awesome!…..click!
A Gentleman’s Wager
Actually Maryse, I believe it’s Bev who IS forgiving of the H when he cheats but not the h…total opposite of me, LOL! More proof that we have all types and tastes here, which makes it so FUN! π
Oooooh Fabi, you used one of the magic words…heartbreaking. I’m sure I’ll give m/m a shot sooner or later, and YOU, my friend, will be my go-to for a rec when I do. π
