Review - Lonely Shore by Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen

Spoiler alert: If you haven’t read the first installment of this series, then you had best stop reading this review now, since we can’t really discuss the second book without reavealing how the first left off.

My rating: * * * *

The heavily closeted teacher and outgoiong young programmer seem like an unlikely pair, but there’s still an attraction, even with the odds stacked against them. “Status Update” is a tale of a very unlikely romance. The two men’s meeting may be an amazing coincidence, but their struggle to find a way to have a relationship seems very real.

book cover for Hector and Anatolius

Review - Hector and Anatolius by Vanessa Mulberry

My rating: * * * *

In Homer’s epic recounting of the Trojan war, the Iliad, prince Hector was Troy’s greatest warrior but, he tends to excite little interest from modern day authors looking for inspiration. “Hector and Anatolius” tells the story of Hector before the Greeks, or even Helen, arrive. Hector is the dutiful son and heir to king Priam in most respects, except in his resistance to find a woman to marry. His inclinations lie in another direction entirely.
