Review:Stranded by Jessica Frances

I just created a new account on NetGalley because I forgot about my last account up there. Hahaha. Yes, I didn’t that active back then so I often been rejected when I request a book. Honestly, I didn’t how it works completely so I just playing around, hoping my luck will make some authors/publishers approved my request. I’ll change it now. I’ll be more active from now on.

And, thanks to NetGalley, Jessica Frances, dan its publisher which approved my request on this book in exchange for an honest feedback.

At first, I don’t have high hope for this one because at this point I just love reading fluffy-sexy-cute-erotica-contemporary romance with no in-depth topic, moreover some mystery-detective kind of plot. But, in the end I’m kinda drowning on this story.

I love Jessica’s writing: easy to follow (for non native-English speaker, like me), not too flowery, good dictions, and nice characters. Well, some of them are not in a good description, but mostly lovable. Of course, thorough out the book I am imagining to have a partner such as a big-sherrif guy like Rocky (I already picturing myself as Conner Sherwood) or a handsome-movie-star like Henry Prince. I do also love having Love Fuller as a best friend.

I’m no interest on instalove, but in here, I am quite understand why there is an instant spark between the two at just earlier chapter. If you like me, please… keep reading, and you’ll get enough explanation about it. And, dang… the F scene at this part is amazing, but in general, I need more of that but this book doesn’t provide more. I hope for the next book, there a lot of steamy scenes on it. Especially, when it become more intense of possibility that Henry Prince really back to the story.

Like I said before, I am lil bit nervous about mystery-murderer case-detective part on this book. Thanks God, it doesn’t that much. Maybe for you who is expecting it as a big part of the story will end up disappointed. I still suggest you to read it, though. It is worth a try.

Lastly, it is an open ending (at least, for me, I am hoping the book will be closed by a phenomenal F scene… but, unfortunately NO) so I really want to read the next book of this In Midsummer series.

4 out of 5 star for this cute-and-smokin hot story.

1. Equation For Love by Fae Sutherland

amberquill.com

Sex + money shouldn’t = love, but since when does the heart follow any laws but its own?

Recent college graduate and mathematical genius Skye McCord is determined that this summer he’s going to do something he’s always wanted to try—living. And, as a scientist, he’s not leaving anything to chance. He’s got a new job in Las Vegas, a signing bonus burning a hole in his pocket, and what else does a brainy geek spend his money on but an education? But this time, it’s one of a carnal variety.

Liam Maddox isn’t your ordinary gay male escort—he’s actually gay, and he really loves his job. Especially when he meets his newest client. Skye’s cute and awkward and sort of odd, and when he informs Liam that he wants to hire him to teach him everything about being gay, well…Liam’s too intrigued to say “no.”

Except what starts as lighthearted lessons in sex and seduction quickly becomes more as Liam taps into a submissive side of Skye the young man never knew he had. Also, Liam’s never been this drawn to anyone before, and he’s beginning to wonder if he can walk away when their time is up. Or does happily-ever-after exist for someone like Liam with someone like Skye?

1. Double Flip by David Connor

http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com

Description:

Gymnast Ben Thornton is beginning to accept his sexuality, but in the charged atmosphere of the London Olympics, sex is easier to find than the love he seeks. Ben is so desperate to recapture something he felt long ago that he’s too blind to see the man he shared it with is looking for the very same thing, hiding in the shadows with the love notes he’s too afraid to send.

Then a gossipmonger threatens to distribute a sex tape Ben didn’t even know existed. Feeling betrayed, he considers leaving the games, afraid for the team’s morale. As his friends rally around him, Ben discovers they don’t always make good lovers—but a lover you know like your best friend is the best kind.
