Tracey Livesay

This was my first Tracey Livesay novel. That being said, I was in the mood for a good romance, and Livesay delivered just that! The book starts off with the girlfriends relationship and then focuses on Caila who has to got to a small town and make a determination on whether to shut down the factory in town or not. Of course she immediately comes in contact with the wonderfully handsome Mayor Wyatt. Otherwise know as Mayor McHottie! Cheesy, but I will roll with it. I love Hallmark movies, and this novel follows the Hallmark algorithm to a tee. The setting was perfectly described, and I wish I could read more about the characters.
Thanks to Goodreads, HarperCollins Publishing and Tracey Livesay for the ARC of this book.… (meer)

This final collection in the Rogue series has proven to be another lovely addition!

This LGBTQ book is full of sweet (and sometimes sexy!) stories. F/F, M/M, poly and more, with each having a different focus. Some of the stories center around politics, Hollywood and even just good, old-fashioned relationships.

I can't get enough of these short stories, because they are so easy to slip into. They aren't difficult to follow, they make me smile, and I just love these authors. Since every story is different, you get a really good mix of romance and erotica.

I focused on three stories from the collection, but all of them were marvelous.

Hudson Lin's Ipso Facto ILU follows Jonny and Brandon, who are OMG levels of cuteness. Brandon is a political science PhD candidate and Jonny is a famous podcaster. Following their super sweet love story was such a treat! Brandon's shyness and adorable nature made me love this couple oh so much! Throw in some funny lines about Zest body soap and Canadian references and you've got me totally engaged in this story. Honestly, it felt like a fan girl's heaven. This story was definitely a 5 out of 5 stars for me!

Ainsley Booth's Love Your Love was a lovely poly romance which following Win and Penny (and Tanya, you can't forget about Tanya). Cute crushes, spooning and fun quotes about beaming and blooming flowers fill this little story up. I like Ainsley's way with words - it somehow felt so elegant yet so natural! This story moved very quickly and felt a little shorter to me, but it was still super sweet. 5 out of 5 stars!

And to top it off, Tamsen Parker's Starlet Struck shed some light on causes AND included some super sexy F/F romance. Archer and Hadley make one wild pair - an activist and a Hollywood actress. The characters bring up causes dear to their heart, like the Rivera House which helps homeless LGBTQ teens, and I have to say that made me respect this book even more! At the end, we get the hottest ending that will rock most erotica fan's socks off. The tension that built up to that part made it even better than I expected! Five out of five stars!

Overall, this is a great anthology for romance and erotica lovers. It's definitely an R rated book, but it's worth the read if you love some sexy scenes.

Five out of five stars.

Thank you to Tamsen Parker for providing me a copy of this book to review.… (meer)
