Finished The Fire Beneath Azura today. I had to pause to finish up the Wheel of Time but I immediately picked it back up because it was AWESOME. The plot is so interesting. The story has a bunch of super unique POVs. My fav was Tunis, least fav was Cade. Nadim seems like his story is going to be the most interesting content wise. Wynn was interesting, but not the most exciting. The world building slowing unraveling was my favorite part. It’s great. I need book 2 like, ASAP

God damn this one was good. Fuck. I loved this ending. I love this entire plot. The story just did not stop going nuts. The best one I’ve read yet.

I liked this one better than the first one tbh. I liked the MC better. I think he was a reflection of the author. Frank discussions about erectile dysfunction in this one was surprising. But seeing as how it was an older man and younger cub, it could definitely be a real hurdle in a relationship. I really liked Austin. He was so damn cute. This series makes me wanna own a gay camp ground.

Well ain’t that just the sweetest thing. This is based off of a real place called The Rivers Edge Campground here in North Georgia. It was cool seeing and hearing places I know in real life. The plot was a little slow. It needed a smidge more speed. I was very disappointed that it was a skinny surfer boy twink at bear week and not a chubby cub. I just like chubby guys ok? I want all them to be chubby. This book makes me want to open up a gay campground

Ugh. Immensely better than the last one. The plot went somewhere! Elaine’s and Perrin’s plots were the best ones
