AITA: Am I the asshole?
Five years ago when she left, she broke my heart. No warning. No hey, this isn’t working out. No nothing. Just poof. One day she’s there, in my bed, and we’re talking about our futures. The next, she’s gone.
So when she shows up five years later and acts like she didn’t leave me with a broken heart, I get angry. So. Freakin’. Angry.
Of course, this is where I spiral. When we went through medical school together, we were on equal footing. Not anymore. Now I’m her attending, and I’ve made it my personal mission to make her life hell.
She wants to finish up her residency and finally become a doctor? Well, she’ll have to go through every single bad thing I can throw at her, first.
Seeping, maggot-infested, pus-filled bed sore? Yep, that’s hers to take care of. Man shitting every three seconds uncontrollably? That’s also hers. Man and woman having a baby while also in the throes of a divorce? You guessed it. Hers.
If I can make her leave after what she put me through, I’ll feel accomplished.
Only problem is, I forgot how determined Valhalla Singh was. Guess she’ll be reminding me.
Because Valhalla wasn’t named that for nothing.


MY REVIEW

Valhalla "Val" Drew formerly Singh, has returned to the medical career she left behind when her father's will dictated she and her sibs go back to their family circus. She didn't know her ex, the one she had to leave, would be her attending physician aka her boss, and just knows she's in for it because the man is apparently really mad at her. No matter, she'll get through it because she's a strong woman even if Felix doesn't think so or even care.


Felix never got over Val, nor has he ever stopped being angry at her for leaving him when he knows the could have made it work. Now that she's back, he's not determined to claim her heart again. Nope, he wants the opposite, to make her feel his wrath, his pain. Except...somehow she's wiggling past his defenses and back into his heart again. Once they have a conversation and revelations come to light, he's back to where he was before and realizing he never stopped loving her. Now he just has to keep her, withstanding interference from his "friend" and even outside forces they have no control over.


I love this series! Val and Felix are probably two of the sweetest of the bunch so far - their story isn't quite as crazy as some of the previous, but it's just as entertaining and their chemistry is just as spicy. I love a good second chance, when the characters put in the work to deserve it, and damn did Felix and Val do everything possible to deserve finding each other and love again.

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...
