Its been hot
This could be a start of a review, but it really is not. Like the rest of Europe, Denmark has been hit by a heatwave. It hasn’t really been that bad here in the eastern part of the country where I am, but still hot enough. One of my favourite places to be in the heat is under our cherry tree in the garden, reading of cause, shadow and a cold breeze, what more could you want.
I don’t have a kindle, I’ve been thinking about getting one, but then I looked and I couldn’t really decide what to get, any recommendations? I usually just use my Iphone to read. I do have a kindle app on it so I can read mobi-files, but mostly I read books on Ibooks (the app that comes with Iphone). I mostly buy my books from there as well, but some authors don’t sell via Apple, so if I can I’ll buy them form the publisher. I can’t explain why I’m not a kindle fan, maybe it’s because Amazone don’t sell here in Denmark. That doesn’t mean that I can’t buy, I just can’t get the prices in DKK and I have to do the math myself – I know lazy-ass me 🙂
Home Improvement by Tara Lain
Home Improvement by Tara Lain
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
WHAT an amazing story. I LOVED IT.
Gabe works at a home improvement store. Jerry comes in to buy supplies for his home renovation. Gabe gets persuaded into helping the lost Jerry and oversee his home improvement project.
Gabe has to juggle his time between his daughter (teen dad), his job at the store and now the new project at Jerry’s.
On the mention of Jet, and the fact that Jerry disguise himself, you kind of easily guess that they are one and the same person. However that doesn’t really make the story bad, you kind of just start to wonder when Gabe and his daughter will find out who he really is.
The story is so beautiful, the development between the MC’s are great. Gabe and Jerry are both loveable personalities, you easily fall in love with them. Gabe being the gentle giant and Jerry trying to hide his true identity but he is so nice, maybe at time a bit naive (not sure that’s the right word to use about him), but still cute.
HEA, of cause, did you expect anything else. This is just my kind of story.

My First Blog Post – not really :-)
Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.
— Oscar Wilde.
Ok let me be honest. This isn’t really my first blog post. Well technically its my first post on this blog, but I’ve done it before. I had a personal blog for some years (ended up deleting it) mainly because I couldn’t keep it up to date, I was simply too busy in my life. In the end it seamed kind of lame to return a year or more later and try to update it.
You might find flaws, errors, typos ect. some of it is beacuse I’m not native English speaking, though I would like to pride myself being both speaking and reading English, and some is just what it is errors and typos.
If you look at my Goodreads profile, it might seam like I don’t read much. So not true, it’s just not up to date, I read tons of books, to many if you ask my husband. But once I get started I just can’t seam to finish.
This is Me
This is me always makes me think of the movie “The Greatest Showman” But no kidding – This is me
I’m forty five and fabulous if I may say so 🙂
Who am I?
I am a MM romance reader by heart. I don’t really remember how it started, but I think I accidentally came across a MM romance book and BINGO I was hooked.
Questions?
You can ask me anything you like. I might not want to answer, I’ll tell you 🙂
As you should know by now I’m 45 years old. I live in Denmark (Europe), if you don’t know where Denmark is. Germany to the south,, Sweden to the east, Norway to the North and England to the west.
I live just outside Copenhagen, the capital of this magnificent country, with my husband, dog and our stolen cat *LOL* Ok, I guess the stolen cat deserves an explanation.
The neighbour had a cat, a big fat ginger cat and a dog – things were great for the cat and dog. But then they got another dog. Cat and new don’t get along great, so basically the cat packed it’s stuff and moved in with us, and what a life he has. We have our own dog (labrador) but she’s shared of him, so no problem there.
More about me 🙂
I work as a secetary that my day job, evening sometimes, I work far too much if you ask me, but I like it. I have a huge caring heart, I used to work in retirement homes, nursing homes ect. so caring for other people is in my blod. Unfortunately I can’t do that anymore due to an illness in my feet that makes it impossible for me to walk for longer periods aka I can’t be on my feet all day, I’ll get an inflammation in the tendons in my feet.

What I don’t read and why
Do you remember reading a review for a movie or a concert or something else and thinking, did we go to the same place? I certainly do. I’ve been to concerts, plays and before or after reading a review thinking – did we actually attend the same thing. That’s why I don’t review books I don’t like. You can se it as a respect for the work the author has put into the book, I respect that, I really do, so there is absolutely no reason for me to trash it just because I don’t like the genre.
- Shifters or paranormal
- I don’t undertand gost or men who can change from wolfs, cats, dogs into a human form
- Hard BDSM or SM
- I don’t mind a smack on the ass during sex, the the whole robe and whip thing, not really my scene. I will, blushing, admit that I did read one or two books that I liked.
- MMM, MF or MMF or what ever.
- I’m a vanilla guy when it comes to what I like to read. Please just one guy falls in love with another guy. I can’t get the whole dynamic of more that two people falling in love with.
- Short stories (I try to avoid them)
- Short stories can be ok, I’m not saying I avoid them, they are what they are, short. I tend to find them forced, like to have to put too much info into too little space. But I won’t say no to reading them.
