Going to do something different today. Over the past many years, I've been reading gltb romances but rarely do I talk about the books I read. But I want to do that today!

Btw, I'm not really one to read historical novels, but if anyone is interested in that genre, check out Speak it's Name and Bosom Friends for recs! There's some really awesome authors rec'd on both sites!

Now for the recs!

American Love Song by Ashlyn Kane: A few days ago, Reviews By Jesse Wave offered this as they're daily free book and I was lucky enough to win a copy after reading this review here.

Here's the blurb: Jake Brenner has too many wild oats to sow to fall in love—or so he claims. Besides, he’s much too busy with his band, the Wayward Sons, to go looking for romance. His reticence has nothing to do with his embarrassing crush on Chris, the band’s lead singer and Jake’s erstwhile best friend. But that was before enigmatic wanderer Parker McAvoy signed on as the band’s new lead guitarist.

He can only deny his attraction to sweet, dorky Parker for so long before the urge to do something about it becomes impossible to ignore. The trouble is, Parker knows all about Jake’s philandering ways—and oh, yeah, he’s not gay. Or so Jake thinks until a string of related events provides encouraging new insight. Can he convince Parker to overlook his colorful past and give him a chance? Or will this love song fade out before it even begins?

Review: The review I link to says it much better than I could but OMG! This is such a wonderful story! Which I really wasn't expecting as it turned out to be a 1st POV story. But by the end, I loved Jake and Parker and everyone of the secondary characters! Also, I HIGHLY recommend this story to any bandom fan. Don't get me wrong, it's not like reading a MCR or PATD fic, but it has a flavor of those things I loved about the genre (energy, a type of innocence, wonder at life's possibilities, love, and hot sex) exist all through this story. Now, don't get me wrong, no one is perfect (and one of the most powerful scenes in the book for me is based on this imperfection) but all the characters fill fleshed out and interesting and, add the sex and creative formatting and well, SERIOUSLY READ THIS! :D

Change of Heart and Trusted Bond by Mary Calmes: I didn't win a free copy of these books but got them based on the reviews here and here.

CoH Blurb: As a young gay man—and a werepanther—all Jin Rayne yearns for is a normal life. Having fled his past, he wants nothing more than to start over, but Jin’s old life doesn’t want to let him go. When his travels bring him to a new city, he crosses paths with the leader of the local were-tribe. Logan Church is a shock and an enigma, and Jin fears that Logan is both the mate he fears and the love of his life. Jin doesn’t want to go back to the old ways, and mating would irrevocably tie him to them.

But Jin is the mate Logan needs at his side to help him lead his tribe, and he won’t give Jin up so easily. It will take time and trust for Jin to discover the joy in belonging to Logan and how to love without restraint.

TB: Blurb: Jin Rayne is having trouble adjusting to the new life he’s supposed to love. Instead of adapting to being the mate of tribe leader Logan Church, Jin can’t get past the fact that his lover was straight before they met. He’s discovered the joy in belonging to Logan but fears his new life could disappear at a moment’s notice, despite Logan’s insistence that they are forever, end of story.

Jin wants to trust Logan, but that desire will be put to the test both by a rival tribe leader and by a startling revelation about Jin’s existence. At stake is Jin’s life and his place in the tribe. If he’s going to survive to see Logan again, he’ll have to release his fear and freely accept the bond, for only then can he truly trust.

Review: I love this series! As the reviews say, the world building is awesome! Like American Love Song, the sex is HOT! This is not a 1st POV story and we really only see things happening when Jin is around. However, we do get to know all the characters through their words and action, so in some ways it felt 1st Person, if that makes sense. The characters are wonderfully developed and the world they inhabit is very fascinating to me (I SO want an Inception Fusion for this series. :P). However, I had to view this series as yaoi so I could get past the bits of seme-uke-ish and slight mary-suishness that flashed at me faintly at times. Not that that actually took away from the story, btw! I literally stayed up late two nights in a row (and knowing I had to be up at 6 am the next day both times) to read both of them. I really couldn't put it down. So, I highly recommend this series to everyone too!

Ok, I was goofing off last night and came across The Carnalli Complex. It's an original m/m story about Alain and his four brothers, Quentin, Condor, Cobryn, and Ven.

OMFG! So hot and incestous and at times dark and OMG! HOT! HOT! HOT!

This is truly a fic that is NOT for everyone (incest, rape, violence are some major themes) but at the same time its not too dark (not a deathfic or lots of torture) and, though they're all fucked up, I sorta, kinda love the Carnalli brothers..maybe because they are all fucked up.

I think I saw someone reviewing it says its a bit like a long PWP with some plot. Still very good, imo. And, if you give it a try, I hope you like it!

What do you get when you add Inception and The Princess Bride? This freaking fantastic AU!!

Summary: "Any objections?"

"Not really," the pirate said. "I've been in weirder situations than this. At least we have gravity."

Cobb thought that was very profound and made a note to tell his children.


*chortles lots and lots*

In WoW related news, Lady G is ALMOST at level 30!! woohoo!! Be chipping away at those levels. Go Me! Go Me!

Course I know I'm not gonna be near L80 before Cata but that is OK!

I also have some backstory for her! Her mother was from a titled family that had fallen on hard times just prior to Greyce's birth (so she really is Lady G! :P) and her father, a warrior from Lakeshire, had once been in Stormwind's military but decided he could better support his family by being a merc. When his time for re-enlistment came up, he declined to do so, and moved Greyce and her mother back to Lakeshire. 

Her father died when the Orcs invaded and her mother has become a recluse in their family farm. Um, and that's it so far.

Now off to try to reach 30 today! woot!

ETA: um, story is now linked. D'oh!

OMG! this just read the FUNNIEST H/D crack fic!

Five Times Draco Malfoy's Cowardice Saved the Wizarding World by [livejournal.com profile] kantayra

Summary: And that set Draco off all over again. There would be no more haunted symphonies. There would be no more Quidditch games. There would be no more outings to bakeries or knitting tea cozies or afternoons spent at his mother’s favorite hairdresser. Instead, there was going to be killing and blood and gory stuff that made Draco’s stomach upset. “Ohmigod!” he squeaked. “I don’t think I can be a Death Eater! I think I have an allergy!”

Gasoline Days by Josei Asakura - X-Factor (Age of Apocalypse AU) Rictor/Shatterstar rating: R

Summary: Even now, in this place they'd called home for so long, that's how it always began - tentative, never quite certain, even though it always ended up the same way.

Has anyone read A Year Like None Other by Aspeninthesunlight, yet?

OMG! First, this is a genfic, not a slash, at all, but OMG! SO SO SO good!

It takes off from the end of Order of the Phoenix (I believe) and is about a letter from home that changes not only Harry's life, but everyone else's as well. And, I cannot say this ENOUGH it is FABULOUS! Great characterization, the plot is unbelieveable, and it swept me up and kept me reading it for days and days! It's very long, btw, like over 700,000 words, I believe. But don't let that throw you off at all!

If you're looking for a great story to read (really great!) then I highly recommend this fic to read.

so, awhile back, [livejournal.com profile] merricatk asked for fic prompts for fics involving characters from two different fandoms, I submitted Agent Cooper (Twin Peaks) and Sonny Steelgrave (Wiseguy) and she gave me the FABULOUS The Ballad of Mr. X in return and OMG! *lmao* This is so, so, so very perfect!

She has both Sonny and Cooper down so well and, if the two fandoms ever did cross, this is how I believe it would go!

Note: The fic is flocked so you'll have to friend her to read but it is worth it!

Son is on a Midnight Run Like DiNiro...by [livejournal.com profile] hackthis (NC-17, John/Ben: Southland) - Honestly, even if you never plan to watch Southland, this is a fic I highly recommend you read! Hackthis so brings life to John and Ben and it's perfect and wonderful and I just love it to bits.

Ruffles and Flourishes by [livejournal.com profile] alichay (NC-17, Kirk/Chekov/Bones: STXI) - Found this one via [livejournal.com profile] toestastegood's journal and OMG SO FREAKING HOT!! it's also, as toestastegood says, "vey NC-17", so NSFW. But OMG SO HOT!

so, if you have any interest in McCoy/Kirk, y'all should give [livejournal.com profile] inell's Two Men & a Motorcycle series a read. OMG! SO VERY VERY GOOD!

You're A Mile Away And You Have Their Shoes by [livejournal.com profile] mad_maudlin

Summary: An elaborate hoax implicating Merlin, Gaius, and a tailor (as the clothes were so much like Merlin's, but cut to a size that made Arthur feel awkward and skinny) that involved drugging him, moving him to another room, changing his clothes and then pretending he was his own manservant, with no obvious punchline in sight--that was illogical.

You know the body reversal story line? Well this is not that at all!

Dudes! OMG! Dudes! Y'all need to go read [livejournal.com profile] airgiodslv's How Sir Brendon of Urie, a knight of the realm, along with his faithful companions, did quest to slay the fearful dragon of the mountain, and other adventures!!

It is so made of win! Knights and magic and kidnappings and humor and dragons!!! SO SO SO SO SO good!

OMG! People this is great! Action, adventure, characters who are fleshed out and who I adore!

Dudes, if you want a good, no great read, and all for free, mind ya, go read Shadow of the Templar now!
gweneiriol: (Default)
OMG! Y'all REALLY need to read [livejournal.com profile] aggybird's sparrow through the heart which is full of wonderful characters and, even though it is a WIP but SO worth reading!
