Friday Reads | Cheating Bastard

December 11, 2015February 13, 2019 ~ Ofelia Gränd ~ 1 Comment

Have you had enough of this year’s fluffy holiday reads yet? Want something dark and twisted?

A few days ago a couple of friends and I buddy read Cheating Bastard by Devon McCormack. I guess I only have myself to blame since I didn’t even read the blurb before I started reading, but the story wasn’t at all what I had expected.

It sure does provide some entertainment. A lot of people will hate it, I’m sure, but if you want to be horrified check this story out. It had me laughing which probably says more about me than the story because it isn’t funny—it’s disturbing. But sometimes it’s nice to hate the main character.

He can get away with anything…

Anytime, anyplace. Blake never has problems finding tricks, and he’s learned that half the fun is in doing it behind his boyfriend Todd’s back. But when Todd suggests a threesome to reignite their relationship, the opportunity to bring in one of his regulars and dupe his boyfriend right under his nose is too tantalizing to resist.

Todd loves Blake, but after Blake’s cancer treatments, it seems nothing Todd does can excite him. For six months, he’s waited patiently for his boyfriend’s interest to return, but it’s clear if he doesn’t do something drastic, nothing will change. In a desperate attempt to save their relationship, he suggests a threesome. He expects it to be difficult. He expects to get jealous. What he doesn’t expect is to have the hots for their new toy…and for both of them to want Blake out of the picture.

Friday Reads | Graham Ran Over A Reindeer

December 4, 2015February 13, 2019 ~ Ofelia Gränd ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes I see a title and think I have to read that one! That was what happened when Graham Ran Over a Reindeer by Sterling Rivers showed up in my feed on Goodreads. I laughed and thought I should go buy it. As it happened it was free on Amazon that day, so I picked it up. It’s not free any longer I’m afraid, but it’s still cheap, only 0.99.

It’s a short holiday read, a hundred pages or so. And apart from a great title, it also gets points for having reindeer shifters—I don’t think I’ve come across those before.

It’s a sweet romance that I’m sure many will love, it was a bit wasted on me though. Not that I didn’t know it would be one of those sugary reads, but for me, it was a bit too much. That, however, doesn’t mean that you won’t like it. Many readers love the gazing into each other’s eyes and swearing eternal love elements.

So, if you want something sweet to get you into a holiday spirit, why not pick up a little reindeer love?? If you’re on the hunt for a holiday story that isn’t as sweet, check out The Invasion of Tork! It’s free through December and shouldn’t be missed.

What are YOU reading at the moment?

Need a little spice with your sugar this holiday?

Rudy Snowden has been pining for Graham Miller since they were teenagers, but being a shape-shifter and in love with a human isn’t easy. After years of dancing around each other, Rudy decides to take the big leap and ask the guy on a date.

Truck driver Graham Miller is glad to be home for Christmas in Alaska. Road weary and suffering from the holiday blues, Rudy Snowden is the perfect pick me up—if Graham can summon the courage to ask him out. While picking up a Christmas tree from Rudy, Graham is unable to find the words, and leaves without the man he’s wanted for so long. Lost in a snowstorm sprinkled with misery, Graham hits a caribou—could his day get any worse? He rushes the animal to the Snowden vet clinic, where he quickly learns things can always get… stranger. The creature he nearly killed isn’t just any animal, and the Snowdens aren’t a normal family. With his secret finally revealed, Rudy makes his move. But can Graham accept Rudy’s inhuman nature and be the life-mate he wants?

Friday Reads| Peter and the Wolf

November 27, 2015February 13, 2019 ~ Ofelia Gränd ~ Leave a comment

I haven’t been reading for ages. Or I’ve been reading, but mostly non-fiction, and sad but true, the fiction I have read have been my own writing and I hate that. I don’t mind reading what I’ve written when I’m in the middle of it, but picking up a story that’s a year old—that’s just painful.

So I wanted to read something short, something I could start and end in one sitting without having to stop to go fetch the kids or make lunch or put anyone to bed. What I did was to go to Amazon’s 15 min read’s list and download one of the stories there. I didn’t even know what it was about, I just wanted something.

What I got was a short tale about Will and Peter called Peter and the Wolf. It was sweet and left me smiling. You can’t expect a novel in eight pages but what this story gives you is a little glimpse of a relationship that isn’t what you first think when you start reading. Cute!

I haven’t read anything by Fabian Black before but I might pick something up in the future.
