Review: Unfinished Sympathy (Absolution #1) by Amélie S. Duncan

Review: Unfinished Sympathy (Absolution #1) by Amélie S. Duncan

UNFINISHED SYMPATHY (ABSOLUTION #1)
Aubrey has a past she's ashamed of. It's why she dropped out of Juilliard before finishing, and now works as a sound engineer at a gaming company on a temporary contract. When she first sees the gorgeous guy on the subway reading, she's instantly attracted. But it's when he starts working with her on her new project that their attraction explodes. Unfortunately, there are many obstacles in their way, including Aubrey's perhaps too stubborn independence, her past, and Paul's tendency to take over. Will they ever be on the same page?
There were parts of Unfinished Sympathy that I liked, but as a whole, it didn't really grab me. The chemistry between the two was flat, and they didn't make a very compelling couple. But really, the main problem I had with this story is Aubrey's character. She was a doormat, plain and simple. She allowed her sister to treat her terribly, she allowed her employer to treat her terribly, and she even allowed Paul to take over her life. Yes, she was independent and prickly, but she was also a huge doormat. She was my least favorite part of the story. Still, there were things I enjoyed - the musical aspect being the main thing I liked. It was by far the star here, and I really wished the couple at the center of this musical story was as good as the musical component.

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...
