Review: The Girl in the Painting by Max Monroe

Review of The Girl in the Painting by Max Monroe


THE GIRL IN THE PAINTING

At the beginning of The Girl in the Painting, Ansel is an obviously angry man who's lost his sight. That alone is bad enough, but as he's a painter, it's even worse. So his bitterness is understandable. But then a visit to his doctor yields positive information. Cue 4 years later and Ansel is still a moody, broody man, but his vision has returned and he's been painting again and is on the verge of an exhibition of his work. And it's here where Indy sees herself in his painting. She's never met the artist, never even heard of him, so how is she so prominently displayed in his work?!


Guys, I LOVED The Girl in the Painting!! It's quite unlike some of Max Monroe's more recent stories, but it's soooo good! It's kind of angsty and heartbreaking in places, but honestly, Ansel and Indy (love those names!) are perfect together, perfect for each other. I do have to admit I love me some broody men, even if they do get on my nerves, but Ansel's broodiness is particularly attractive when paired with his artist mindset. And the little twist, although I sorta predicted it, is a great device in their story. I love how it moved the whole story forward and made everything make sense. I really cannot say enough great things about TGITP so I'll just leave here - it's a beautiful, slightly angsty, moving story and Indy and Ansel are a fabulous couple. Bravo Max Monroe!!

My book boyfriends go with me everywhere. I prefer them tall, dark, and handsome, but I don’t discriminate. They sweep me off my feet and are always there when I need them—in my purse, in my car, and even in my bathtub. Book boyfriends may not be real, but at least they won’t break my heart… or get another girl pregnant. I don’t do relationships. I get one whiff and run in the opposite direction. It took me seven years to mend my broken heart, and I’m not about to hand it over again. That’s why I can’t fall for Beckett. With his Clark Kent glasses and brooding stare, he’s a superhero in disguise. And his superpower? Melting panties with a single ...

Review: Winter Interlude: An American Revolutionary Novelette (American Revolutionary Tales 2) by Regina Kammer

Review of Winter Interlude: An American Revolutionary Novelette by Regina Kammer Captain Samuel Taylor and Lieutenant Patrick Hamilton recall their first steamy encounter, which was a MFM threesome in a brothel. It morphed into more and now the two are contemplating their futures with the women they love, and their futures with each other. If you think times are hard for the LGBT community now, think of how hard they were during the American Revolution. Winter Interlude is well developed, which is surprising given its short length. I am so interested in knowing what is to become of Samuel and Patrick's forbidden relationship. Do they stay together? Or do they go their separate ways, and live out their lives with their women? Now that they've admitted their love for each other, how impossible would it be for them to be without each other? I have to know, now! If you like MM fiction and/or historical fiction, I highly recommend you give Winter Interlude a read. It...
