clean, for a MM romance!

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is book 2 in the Spirited Encounters series (although some sites have other series titles!) You don't need to have read book one before this one. They are linked only via the theme, or I didn't get any other link.

Freddie is heir to his father's title and needs to learn how to manage the estate. This is why he's moved back home. The gentleman's dressing case was an impulse buy but now he thinks the case comes with a ghost. Researching the case's history brings him into contact with Marcus, the antiques dealer he bought it from. But Marcus triggers a chain of events Freddie kept hidden for so long, he doesn't know how to get out of it. And just what is going on in the gallery??

I liked this, a lot. It's different to what I usually read and that is never a bad thing!

I liked that the secret Freddie was keeping wasn't immediately clear. I liked that it crept up on me. I wasn't overly keen on the way he treated Marcus in places, but I think given Freddie's history, it was a little understandable.

I liked the way the story of the new ghost unfolds. It took a darker turn, but I think, as the history between Treen and Kitto becomes clear, it was really the only thing that would separate them.

I wasn't sure who the gallery ghost was, not til it became clear in the book, and I liked how that was dealt with.

What I LOVED though, was Freddie's family reaction to his big reveal! They were like, "And? So long as you're happy!" Kinda took the wind out of his sails, to be honest, and I loved that. And then, when Freddie's dad has his big reveal?? I did not see that coming, nor everyone else's reaction!

This book is clean, for a MM romance. It is all closed door, even the kissing. Not my usual read, but I loved that it was. I did find the romance bit somewhat rushed. The three little words come early, and I wasn't feeling the emotional connection between Freddie and Marcus.

Again, single POV from Freddie. And of course I wanted Marcus.

The ghost storyline follows a similar plot line to the one in the first book. Timelines are different but the general story line is very similar. Just need to share the book feelings, folks.

Merissa (14175 KP) rated Traitor's Moon (Gladstone Shifters #2) in Books

Jun 8, 2021

TRAITOR'S MOON is the second book in the Gladstone Shifters series and it does follow on from book one so I definitely recommend you read that book just to get the full picture.

Ben and Evan are still trying to make their Pack a safe home but Wilburn still has other plans. Jack and William are 'on tour' trying to bring the reality of True Elders to other packs.

There is so much intrigue in this book, making it fast-paced and full of action without it being rushed. As a reader, you daren't blink in case you miss anything. And yet, there is still time for romance, for love, for hope. And not just for MM couples either. Personally, I think this is one of the best parts of these books - instead of just one romance, you get a couple or more!

The world-building is excellent and you also get the political structure and problems too. Although there are a host of characters, each one is fully fleshed out, making every single one of them completely believable.

This is a fantastic addition to the series and I look forward to carrying on with their stories. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Jonah!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Heart of Texas (Texas, #1) in Books

3.5 stars.

This is the first MM Romance book I've read where the couple got married, and it was at the beginning so seeing "his husband" every so often seemed a little strange to me. I'm sure the next time I read one where they're married that it wont.

Let me say that if this had just been from Riley and Jack's POV's I would have gladly given this five star because of the hot scenes and the romance between them. There was one scene early on in the book at a party that gave me shivers. *Fans self* Jack Campbell...phew!

But the book kept switching view point and I wasn't entirely a fan as sometimes it could take a bit to figure out who's viewpoint it was. (There must be at least seven different ones.) I know they helped us see every part of the story come to a head but it drove me crazy at times as I was more interested in what was going on between Riley and Jack. Therefore I've rated it down a star and half.

I was not a fan of Riley's dad or brother. Neither came across as very nice and the brother, Jeff, was the worst. Ugh! I wanted to punch him in the face several times from his comments and actions. He was so not a nice guy.

Nevertheless, it was a good book and I look forward to reading other books by the author!
