The App by J.P. Sayle – Not a story for me 🌈

Posted on by mmromancereader

The App by J.P. Sayle

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


Maybe I should have read the description before I started to read the book. But to be fair I was intrigued by the daddy and the age gab, so I thought the book was for me, turned out I was wrong.

The layout for the story is actually ok. The archenemies becoming lovers, that could work, however its a bit thin in the description when you read the book.. You only get that Luke was rude to Scott when he was at the restaurant where Scott works. The story, or the sex, takes place in an elevator and that’s kind of it, there is a bit more story before, but sorry not much.

I like a story with development, where you get the full story and not just bits and pieces thrown in randomly when it fits. The lace thing is not really my kind of thing, but I won’t fault the author for that – thats on me. More story and less sex would have made the book a thousand times better. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not opposed to sex in my romances, but when it takes over the story I kind of get bored (no matter how hot it is).

One star only from me, some might like it better than I do, great for them. I’ll be sure to read the description next time.

The Mating of Michael

Posted on by mmromancereader

The Mating of Michael by Eli Easton

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I been thinking really hard about rating this one. Two ore three stars, I ended on three starts because I really do believe it’s an amazing and beautiful story.

Michael is a sex surrogate (we’ll get back to that in a minute) and a nurse. James is a writer though somewhat failing you could say. He hasn’t been writing anything good in years and is still hung up on his first publication witch was very succesfull. James has polio and is bound to a wheelchair and extremely self conscious. James agrees to do a book signing where the two meets for the first time. Michale being shy (you don’t really see that much in the book, but the author says that he is). James is the affection of Michal and with a bit of help the two are brought together. But with that also the drama.

Now I loved the story, I really did, I think it’s well done and the story line is amazing, but:

1) Michael is a nurse. You do NOT and I repeat you do not disclose who your patients are. I don’t know the American law on this, but I’m pretty sure that it’s a breach of confidentiality it you tell their names and what’s wrong with them. Now if you did that with a partner you have been with for years I could understand that, but they only just met, so that’s a no go.

2) The sex surrogate – sorry I don’t get it. I actually had to Google it to find out if it was real. Call it with you want, but to me it just glorified prostitution. Maybe I shouldn’t fault the author, maybe I’m just being a prude, it just doesn’t set well with me.

3) Cheating. It’s kind of funny how some people try to justify cheating. No you and I may not be in a relationship, yet, but if this is going anywhere you don’t sleep with others. When Michale does his surrogate “work” and is not telling James about it, sorry guys that’s cheating to me. You can tell me a millon times it’s not, but unless you talk about it and decide on an open relationship it is cheating to me and I just can’t let that go.

I wold have liked a bit more drama with Jame’s mother, it was over a bit too fast, what she did is not easy forgiven.

The story is great and I really and truly loved both characters, but see above why it only got three stars.

The Enlightenment of Daniel

The Enlightenment of Daniel by Eli Easton

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I actually finished all three books in the series before writing this review. This one is my absolute favourite. A beautiful lovestory between two men, Nick and Daniel who has known each other for a lot of years – since high school.

Nick has had a secret crush on Daniel since high school, but he got over it and moved on. He married his wife and lived in a loveless marriage for years but with two beautiful kids. Daniel himself was married but now divorced. While Nick knows he’s bisexual, Daniel has a HALLIJUA I’M GAY moment – he’s never been with a man and has never even thought about it, but with Nick that changes. They own a company together, runned perfectly with their different personas.

The story is so beautiful and well written. I love Daniel and his caring heart not just for Nick but for the kids as well. He such a great guy. There’s no doubt that Nick is marked by his mariage and his wife, to me most of the time he come out as spineless, I would have liked for him to have a bit more back bone especially with his daughter, it just hurts to see how she is treated.

The flow of the story is great, and you get to revisit some of the characters from book one in the series – kind of makes it complete being a part of a series. It has good parts and sad parts and even kind of a wauuu part (you’ll need to read it to know what I’m talking about). Love every part of it.

The Trouble with Tony by Eli Easton

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Tony is an undercover PI who works on a case that has been closed by the police due to lack of evidence. However Tony can’t let it go, he needs to find the truth. In order to do that he goes undercover as a patient at a sex clinic where the deceased was a patient. Tony does have a problem that needs to be addressed. As a patient he meets the gorgeous Dr. Jack Holloran and the status between patient and doctor changes.

I loved the story, the language and the fun. I’m not going to pretend to get the whole sex clinic thing with the ‘assistance’ That Michael charter is just weird. Maybe it is happening in the real world and I just never heard of it, but to me its some kind of glorified prostitution. I also kind of don’t get why Jack doesn’t get angry when he finds out that Tony basically has been lying to him all the time, I know I would. I can kind of see that he didn’t totally lie because he did actually had a problem, but he lied about the reason for going. Ok let it go…

But the story is amazing, well written and so much fun. I especially love the dr. patient lingo where Jack is professional but Tony is introducing him to a few new terms that probably wouldn’t be used with other patients. I’m so going to read it again.
