Review previously placed on my blog:

I have read Book boyfriend by Kris Ripper. I listened to the audiobook. Read this one to stay on top of reading LGBTQ+ books for my goals. Have also had this one on my TBR for a while. This is an adult romance book with LGBTQ+ characters.

Probably gave this a higher rating then was probably the case whilst reading, but I just think this book needs to be shared more. The author is super cool and this book just needs to get out there more. I really liked all the characters in this book. It was very queer, which is awesome. The plot was fun. The only thing that wasn't for me was the miscommunication in this book. But in the end I did understand why that happened, so therefore gave it a higher rating.

Review previously placed on my blog:

I'm currently reading The bromance book club by Lyssa Kay Adams. This is the first book in the Bromance book club series. I'm reading a Dutch ebook. Reading this one because I want to try more of this genre. This is an adult contemporary romance book.

I'm liking this a lot so far. I love the concept. I love that we are following a married couple, feels very original. The men in the book are great, really like how the author wrote them. I also like the women in the book, they are written very well. The only thing I don't like is a certain character. This would have been a new favorite if it wasn't for him. 

This was great! I really enjoyed it. Laughed a lot and was just a fun time. The ending was also well done.
