Breaking Up Is Hard To Do... But You Could've Done Better by Hilary Campbell

This book is full of short true break up stories and simple corresponding cartoons. At first glance, I didn't think much of it, but after reading for a few minutes, I couldn't stop. I was almost late for work because I kept wanting to read just one more. Many are ridiculous and most are funny. I continued to feel relieved that I did not have these experiences. It was definitely worth my time and gave me a few laughs which made my day better.

The Hockey Saint by Howard Shapiro Review

The highly anticipated sequel to "The Stereoypical Freaks" and the 2nd book in the "Forever Friends" Trilogy, this is "The Hockey Saint"

Twenty-one year old Jeremiah Jacobson is the world's best hockey player, but he wasn't prepared for the frenzy and scrutiny that came with that title. Tom Leonard is an average college sophomore... just a guy trying to find his place in the world as he sorts through issues that are both very real and seemingly insurmountable. 

Through a chance meeting, these two strike up an unlikely friendship. Their bond is tested when Tom discovers that his idol isn't as perfect up close as he seems from afar. With Jeremiah living a little too much in the moment and with his past catching up to him, will Tom be able to help him before it's too late?

Review

The Hockey Saint by Howard Shapiro


This is perfect for young adults. The Hockey Saint is relatable and covers real life issues. It also has a friendship between a hockey sports star and an average kid, the everyday and something that would be a fantasy for many. The artwork is great, and the message a good one.

EXPOSED by Bey Deckard Review

Novel (80,000 words)
Themes: age gap, daddy kink

With middle-age looming, Greg offsets his boring day job with what truly feeds his soul: photography. The camera is an extension of himself where he exposes his passion for the intersect of pleasure and pain. However, the lens also acts as a barrier, protecting his subjects from the shameful mistakes of his past, and Greg is left isolated and lonely.

Emyr stands on the cusp of fame, but adulation and abuse are both eroding his confidence, and one night, at the river’s edge, he seeks solace in the rain, hoping to hide his tears.
The photographer and the virgin rock star share an accidental connection on that dark, drizzly night. When Greg invites Emyr back to his hotel room, no strings attached, the young man should have bolted. Instead, an odd sense of trust allows him to follow Greg’s lead.

When the camera comes out, Emyr learns the stage isn’t the only place he loves to perform as Greg touches something inside him that rarely awakens. Faced with a beautiful, talented boy whose soul is as lonely as his own, will Greg be able to face his past and come to terms with it, or will he run from the connection he so desperately desires?

Review

Exposed by Bey Deckard

Greg does graphic design and photography and is old enough to be Emyr's father. Emyr is a young break out rockstar. In the bedroom, Emyr likes to call Greg by the term Daddy and Greg is a little Dom-ish, but mostly this is a chill romance. The relationship is exactly what both need. When Greg photographs Emyr, each learns more about himself. Anyone who likes M/M romance or BDSM-lite should check this out. I really enjoyed how they travel all around. All the countries outside of the US and the Welsh dialogue were interesting to me. Exposed is a sweet book that will probably broaden the reader's horizons in many ways.
