Review / Release Blitz: Blue Plate Special (Table for Two #2) by Layla Reyne



Blue Plate Special by Layla Reyne is now live!

Giving orders in the kitchen is chef Noah Becker's specialty. He's made a name for himself dishing up seasonal, farm-to-table comfort food at the local diner. A name that isn't really his.

The last person Ezra Rosin expects to find while he's on sabbatical in a small town is his son's best friend. The one he helped disappear thirteen years ago. The one who's grown into a hauntingly beautiful man.

Noah and Ezra grow closer, reconnecting over their shared love of food and wine until their friendship smolders into more. They agree to explore the unexpected dynamic, to enjoy each other while Ezra finishes the semester, but when past and present collide, Noah and Ezra must decide if their chemistry across the table and between the sheets is enough to cook up a delicious future together.

Blue Plate Special is a stand-alone M/M foodie romance novella in the Table for Two universe. It features an age-gap romance between mature characters, family finding their way back to each other, and lots of noshing.

MY REVIEW

The very last person Noah expected to see in his restaurant is his former best friend's father, Ezra, the man who helped him escape his abusive father years ago. Ever since, Noah has never allowed himself to get too comfortable, lest his past come back to find him. Now Ezra's here and he's finding it hard to resist the gorgeous ginger, even though he knows Ezra isn't going to be here permanently. But then again, perhaps neither is he...

Ezra's never forgotten his son Ty's best friend. Now laying eyes on him for the first time in more than a decade, he can't believe this gorgeous man is the young man he helped escape his abusive father. Though he may be more than 20 years older than Noah, there's something about him that calls to him. Now they're exploring their powerful attraction, exploring Ezra's desires and Noah's, and he's realizing he doesn't want it to end. How can he possibly make a relationship work when he's leaving town soon, and he gets the feeling Noah's own time here is about to end?

I will be the first to admit that age gap relationships are not always my thing, but Noah and Ezra's story works beautifully. Add in all the yummy culinary references, the light D/s, and what the reader gets is a wonderful story about found family, love, and healing, with a hot, hot couple at its center.

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...
