I completely get why people love this book, but I needed more interactions instead of the 5-years time skip. Without it, there's no chemistry and only dubious consent

My fault for starting it when not in the mood

The MCs clearly had sexual chemistry, but I couldn't believe their romantic chemistry, we barely see them interact that way. Also, very 2014 in the way one MC keeps being annoyed at the notion that the other MC is in the closet at work. Just really not interested in continuing it
On Silver Shores by V.T. Hoang
5.0
This author is by far one of my best discoveries in queer romances. An original settings, angst, pining, and a set of queer characters of color. Can't wait to continue this series
The Amazing Alpha Tau Self-Improvement Project by Lisa Henry, Sarah Honey
5.0
This is such a comfort read for me
You're Ours by D.C. Emerson

There aren't that many romances out there with aro MCs, and this novella was great
On the Edge by J.J. Mulder
5.0
J.J. Mulder is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers of MM hockey romances. All books are different from one another, with MCs that have original backgrounds and stories.
In this book (and also in the previous books in the series), Henri completely steals the scene. His neurodivergence is never officially stated in the book or by the author, but he spoke to my autistic heart. He was genuinely a good person with a heart of gold, and the way he never gave up on Atlas was perfect.
We only see a glimpse of why Atlas has such a prickly persona, but from what we see, it is pretty understandable. Together, they create the perfect black cat/golden retriever pairing.
It didn't affect my enjoyment of the book, but I found it a bit unrealistic that Henri speaks 5 European languages but he is struggling with English after living 4 years in the States (and presumably after years of English at school in Germany).
I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews, and this is my honest review.
