First, let me say I purchased this book out of those random wrapped blind dates that you get a Barns & Nobles, so this one took me by surprise.

I'm no stranger to gay reads. They're my go-to, but I never picked up a lesbian romance and didn't know that's what this is, holy crap, have I been missing out?

If you want a cute, light, fantasy read and like coffee, this is for you.

This book is bad. This book and the first are full of ridicules dialogue that I struggle to get through, with the exception that this book had some improvement. That being said I couldn't put it down and it might be 11 o'clock at night where I am but that's not going to stop me from picking up book 3 before sleep.  

Split by J.B. Salsbury

 After being fired as a news anchor Shyann has to move back to her hometown, a hometown she resents ever since her mother died and she's just biding her time until she saves enough money to leave. Lucas has a troubled past who so happens to work for Shyann's dad. Then they meet. 

I really liked this story, however I'm pretty sure it's one of my guilty pleasures and not because it's a brilliant work of literature. I enjoyed reading about Lucas and his character development and how strong-willed Shyann was in her convictions. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys guilt pleasure reads with hunk of angsty romance. 

"There’s something about him that’s impossible to walk away from. Like an injured boy being held captive by his abuser. But Gage isn’t his abuser; he’s his warrior kachina. His real-life protector made of muscle and bone and capable of inflicting damage on anyone who stands in his way. Pushing anyone who has the potential to hurt Lucas away, but also everyone who has the potential to love him." -J.B. Salsbury, Split, Lucas
