Review - Pay It Forward by Nic Starr
My rating: 
Bailey works part time in a call center. He hates it, but it pays the bills, barely, and since he was forced to leave home after finishing high school, he’s hard-pressed to find anything better. In his spare time, Bailey also collects donated books for distribution to kids on the street. Tom is the owner and chief barista of Take Two, a coffee shop that’s his own second chance after a disastrous career in finance.

Review - Me and You Two by Ash Penn
My rating:
Spoiler alert: this is one of those books that’s hard to review without giving away a few of the plot turns. You’ve been warned! Dean is a young man with a very healthy sex drive as well as an strong aversion to commitment. His job at a holiday park is perfect for him. It provides an endless stream of men and women for him to choose from, all of whom will be gone in a week.

My rating:
Diego’s three year exile among the “wild fae” of the Otherworld is coming to an end, but as he and Finn prepare to return to the human world, Diego wonders if there’s still a place for him there. They might offer him his old job back as Consul in the Fae embassy, but he’s not sure he wants it. The human world has moved on since Diego was gone. Some countries accept the Fae and magically-affected humans as equals, while others seem them as demons and lock them up, or worse.
