Racheal’s 2020 Favorites
Hood River Rat (Hood River Hoodlums #1) by K Webster
This is the first book in her series (Hood River Hoodlums) and the only MM but one of my favorite MM books from this author in 2020. Basically, between two seniors that are so different. One is from the area and not from money or the best family circumstances. The other has just moved to the area with his mother and two sisters after the divorce of his parents.
Eryx: A Spartan Tale (Axios Series) by Jaclyn Osborn
This is the second book in this series (The first book Axios) and comes from the point of view Eryx. His point of view of being a Spartan and his love for Axios.
Godfather Wars by Brittany Cournoyer
This funny rom com between Dolan Masters and Everett Henson had me laughing out loud on more than one occasion!
Taking It Slow (Code of Honor #4) by Reese Knightley
Although, this is the 4th book in the series you can read this as a standalone. I love military/secret service types of books and with all most of her books that is what you get. This book is about a Colonel and a captain with an age gap that have been fighting an attraction. When threats arise these two no longer have the option having staying away from each other.
Mr. Perfect (Sinister In Savannah #2) by Aimee Nicole Walker
Investigate journalist/Podcaster Felix Franklin finds himself having to work with Jude Arrow another journalist from his past. The last person that Felix thought would be back in Savannah.
Wood: A True Lover’s Story by A.E. Via
An age gap love story between two ex cons. Herschel Wood Jr. has just gotten out of jail after 17 long years. Trent Armstrong has always been the one left behind. When these two are forced to live together, hard truths are what both of them are forced to face.
Bad Stepfather (Guilty Pleasures #3) by Romeo Preminger
Elijah thought that being kicked out of college was the worst thing possible. That was until he meets Justin, his mom’s new boyfriend. Something is off about this man and his mom won’t listen. But with the help of his new boyfriend and his best friend maybe things are just not in his head after all. I loved this story with all the twist and turns and adored Elijah’s boyfriend!
Jamie and Dexter were absolutely phenomenal characters to read about. The character building was perfect. The twist at the end of this story was what made the storyline even better!
Wrangled (A Spruce Texas Romance #4) by Daryl Banner
This is a fantastic series and each book can be read as a standalone. Lance and Chad sure do spice up things in Texas. Each couple featured in this series brings a lot of laughs, love, and mishap to this tiny town.
Off the charts chemistry between both MC’S! Fantastic storyline! Incredible buildup!!
