Taking Chances: A Male/Male Novella Collection by Robin Covington
Taking Chances is a set of three novellas, all dealing with love where you have to take a chance. All three of these stories are only quick snippets as they are novellas. I do think (and it could have already happened!) that all three could go onto to be a fully fledged novel, rather than a novella.
The stories are all heart-warming in their own way, although there is angst and suspense within each one. The characters are well-rounded, and have their own foibles. There isn't much world-building involved as they are all contemporary, but that just means the focus can be on the characters rather than the scenery.
I enjoyed each story and would definitely read more by this author. Definitely recommended by me.

A romcom that isn't a romcom
Contains spoilers, click to show
Natalie is an architect at a business where nobody respects her, and is looked down on except for a male colleague who unbeknown to her has a big crush on her. One day Natalie is mugged and hits her head causing her to wake up in an alternate universe. In this universe every male is being nice to her which makes her feel uncomfortable, however she thinks the way to get back to reality is to make a guy fall in love with her. This movie is definitely a big middle finger to romcom, it has every cliche you can think of from a spontaneous singing and dancing scene to kissing a gorgeous bloke (and boy is he gorgeous) in the rain to which as a romcom hater, Natalie comments on every time. Just like I am pretty, the movie has a strong message to women to love yourself for who you are. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and would definitely watch it again.

The claustrophobic feel (2 more)
The CGI of the female robot
Mixing technology with a back drop of utter paradise
Better cast and screen writing required (4 more)
Quicker pace required
Feels a little cheap in places
Female characters were there to aid the male
A bit trashy
Seen it all before, or since
It didn't have me flying by the seat of my pants. There were some moments of anxiety felt for the main protagonist but nothing really memorable. It was neither here nor there.
Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Dirty Little Secret in Books
May 7, 2019
This is the first book in this series. This book has a cliffhanger ending to it so be warned. The main characters are amazing with very hot chemistry between them. This book is about opposites attracting, on one hand you have a mysterious, dirty male then the other a sweet and sexy female. I cant wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.

Always watch this with my boyfriend and we find it completely hilarious. Each series contains a selection of 5 comedians (some better known than others) competing to complete various tasks. Always hilarious & interesting to watch. The variation between male and female comedians, as well as some being better known than others means we get to see these people being more themselves and means we can discover new comedians. Highly recommend as it is so funny, it never fails to make me laugh

Brilliant vocals (2 more)
I love the guitar work
"In Stasis" is my stand-out track
Melodic rock
I got into Of Allies last year, and speak to them often on Twitter - their latest album, Epoch, is an ethereal-sounding triumph of rock.
If you like your rock with a slightly prog feel to it, with powerful male vocals, and melodic guitar work, definitely check it out
My favourite tracks from the album so far are "In Stasis", "Play Dead" and "One19".
