RevieWednesday

Wow, I finally read something I can review! (as opposed to author submissions I can't talk about until they are released, that is...)

Today's review is for Say It Again, by Jasmine Black.

This is a m/m romance (m/m means it's 2 dudes, so if that's not your cuppa tea, then, well... this might not be your cuppa tea) about a fireman --yum--who has just come out, and his first romance as a gay guy. Gay factor aside, we can all relate to the conflict: he's been totally crushing on someone for ages, someone who he imagines is completely out of his reach (the crush is crazy-rich). And of course, that someone has no idea he's crushing on him. This is a well-written novella--an hour of reading, max, with characters who have realistic conflicts and some deep emotional issues. The guys both do some totally frustrating, totally guy-like things, which made it seem all the more real to me, and also made me wonder how two dudes ever communicate well enough to have a lasting relationship. LOL Huge kudos to guys in longterm relationships with other guys. They've clearly overcome a lot!

I rate this novella a Keeper (see legend at lower right). It's a fun, fast read with a rewardingly happy ending.

Jas's interview

This is one of the best author interviews I've read! It was done by Lori at Coffee Time Romance, and her questions are so interesting, including responses she has to the book. Jasmine did a great job with her responses, and the book, in case you haven't read it, is great. Check it out:

Things That Suck Less Than Mondays...

...Winning a drawing!

This weekend, I won a copy of Jasmine Black's newest release, Say It Again. She's a CP of mine (we go way back, was it 'Nam, Jasmine, or before that?), but I haven't read this story of hers yet. So I was diligent about commenting on her blog last week--each comment was an entry. :)

What else doesn't suck? Moving when you want to--especially into a better place. That's just cool.

That's all I got this morning. Have a great one.
