1, 2, 3... the last 3 books I read

I read these three books in the past few days and really enjoyed them. They're totally different but all well-written and entertaining. Recommended for your reading pleasure.



A Thread of Deepest Black by Finn Marlowe

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really enjoyed this story. I liked both of the protags and the storyline was very interesting. I had a bit of a struggle following along for the first part but once I caught unto the shifter vs. shifter theme I was hooked. Killian and Colton's love story was a pleasure to read and the added bonus of the well-done BDSM theme made this an entertaining and at times very sexy/hot read. I'd love to read more as they go forward with the changes to their world.



The Painting by Fiona K. Wallace

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


While this story has elements which may not appeal to all readers it is overall a great read. At times sweet and tender as well as hauntingly sad and violent. Stefan's journey from Berlin in the 1930s thru the horrors of concentration camp life, the loss of loved ones and his subsequent years surviving and then overcoming the horrors he went through are told so well that I was swept away completely into his life. While not the m/m romance I usually read it's a story I'm very glad I read. Stefan went thru so much in his life and even though the ending is not the fairytale ending I normally look for it felt right for the story.

***There are some very violent and disturbing scenes in this book however I found it well worth reading. Highly recommended.***




Winterlude by Tam Ames

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Entertaining story from beginning to end. Well-written, fun and very sexy. I loved how Eric and Omar are so at ease with each other. Great chemistry and oh boy, the hunt for piercings was hot!
