Review: Love You a Latke

Love You a Latke Love You a Latke by Amanda Elliot
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading a holiday book in the middle of summer is always a bit of an interesting experience but I fell head over heels for Love You a Latke. Abby is a bit of a grumpy cafe owner who gets roped into creating a Hannukah Market for her small Vermont town as the token Jewish business owner. In her quest to find community, she discovers that one of her customers, who annoys her relentlessly is the only other Jew in her town. He agrees to help her if she agrees to pretend to be his girlfriend and go home with him for Hanukkah.

This book beautifully captures the secular Jewish experience. I related to Abby and her love of the Jewish community while simultaneously feeling disconnected from it. This book was so wonderfully Jewish and not a romance that had some sprinkled in Jewish elements. This story is a clean romance without spice, but I didn't miss it, because the characters and story development definitely filled my cup.

Review: WTF

WTF WTF by Cambria Hebert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From the moment in Wish when Win wakes up and says "Lars" I have been waiting and hoping for this book. This grumpy sunshine story had me on the edge of my seat anxiously turning pages as I devoured this book. Lars is so brooding and mysterious with many dark secrets, while Win is a total golden retriever, all sunshine and positivity. That said we all know that sunshine creates shadows and Win's do make an appearance.

The pacing of this book was fast and I felt like I was speeding through the story. There were many times I was anxious and panicked and worried about these boys that I fell head over heels for. Their was so much yearning in this book and I loved it.

My biggest complaint about this book is that I wanted more! I wanted more time with the rest of the Bro's and their partners. I wanted more of Lars and Win in Sweden, and I wanted more of them together at Westbrook.

Please check content warnings before reading. I will list some at the bottom of my review.

I love this series so much! I am thrilled to know Cambria Hebert will be continuing to write in the series.

Review: Parts of Us

Parts of Us Parts of Us by Cara Dee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Lucian, KC, Noa and Cam absolutely do me in. The emotional rollercoaster this book sent me on for every single one of these men was wild. This story addresses so many powerful topics in such a meaningful way. We finally find out what happens to Lucian after Cara Dee made us wait FOR-EV-ER! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. The way these characters are crafted they are so real and their decisions and actions are so authentic. The exploration of all the relationship parings in this book tested and strengthened this dynamic. Cam explored his bratty side, Noa was Noa, but also experiences some deep emotional changes. We get more background on KC and Lucian's friendship through the years. We get a game, and a lot of interactions with the tops and the subs. And a group scene that had so many people involved that I didn't know where to "look". I want to say so much, but I'm afraid of saying too much, because discovering this book is something you should experience without spoilers. 

Cara Dee crafts incredible stories! I absolutely loved this book and these four men.
