Review - Nothing Left to Lose by N.R. Walker
My rating: 
Brody and Miller have been best friends since high school. They remained so even after Miller came out. The two are often so close that people mistake them for boyfriends even though Brody is straight. The problem is that Miller has been in love with Brody almost since they met, and it has become torture to be around him. Sensing the distance Miller has started to put between them, Brody enters them in a contest for newlyweds, partly as a joke.

Review - Touch the Lightning by N.R. Walker
My rating:
Tully and Jeremiah are dealing with the aftermath of the cyclone that heavily damaged much of Darwin. Jeremiah’s office is in ruins, so there’s not a lot for him to do, but the head office wants him to visit a remote island where another weather station has also gone offline. It seems like a great opportunity for the two men to have another adventure, alone on a deserted island.

Review - Dearest Milton James by N.R. Walker
My rating:
Malachi is a fun-loving young gay man with a sunny outlook on life. The only blemish on his fabulous life is work. His inability to keep a job is driving his father crazy. Dad has arranged one last chance. He's arranged for Malachi to work at the “dead letter” warehouse. Things are not looking good, even less so when the young man meets his new boss, Julian. The slightly older man who always dresses in shades of brown seems the definition of dull.

Review - Davo by N.R. Walker
My rating:
When academic researcher Fergus lands in a remote mining camp in the far reaches of Western Australia, he's expecting a change of scenery, but he's totally unprepared for the extreme conditions of the desert, as well as the quirky collection of permanent residents that call the town home. The biggest surprise of all is Davo. The muscular mechanical supervisor has a sunny disposition with a totally disarming smile, and likes to wear skirts.

Review - Pieces of Us by N.R. Walker
My rating:
Kindly note: This book starts directly after the ending of the second, and picks up with the same characters right where they left off. If you haven't read the first two installments of this series, be prepared for spoilers. Justin continues to recover from the horrific traffic accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury as well as a broken arm and leg. There are good days, when more of Justin's personality emerges from the mist surrounding his cognitive capabilities, but there are also bad days, when the stress of an unwelcome visitor sends him back into an unresponsive fog.

Review - Pieces of Me by N.R. Walker
My rating:
Kindly note: This sequel starts directly after the ending of the first book, and picks up with the same characters right where they left off. If you haven’t read the first installment of this series, be prepared for spoilers. When last we left our two lovers, Justin had just had a sort of breakthrough. He still has no memory of Dallas, but the meaning of the dreams his subconscious has been giving him is finally clear: Dallas really is where he is supposed to be.
