Også en rigtig god start på en ny serie. Ezra er en biperson i et par af CU hockey bøgerne, og her starter han så en ny serie.




EZRA

Partying, dudes, and hockey. What more could a gay NHL player want?

If it weren't for Anton Hayes, my life would be perfect.

Not that he affects my life in any way. At all. That would imply I care what the winger from Philly thinks of me.

Which I don't.

Not even a one-night stand with him can thaw his misplaced animosity toward me.

He says I'm the one with the ego, but he can talk. He rivals me for most egotistical puck boy in the league.

I hate him as much as he hates me. Even if I crave a repeat.

ANTON

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game.

I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids.

My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all.

He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known.

We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens.

That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Cameron Ansley’s Guide to How to Fake Marry a Not so Straight Billionaire:

*Sigh*

Just don’t do it. Nothing good can come of it. Trust me.
But if you do it, whatever you do, DO NOT have sex with him.
But if you accidentally have sex with him, whatever you do, DO NOT fall in love with him.
If you accidentally fall in love with him…
You know what? Please ignore me. I have no idea what I’m talking about.

Tate Collins, an all-American hockey phenomenon, was the highly marketable face of Dallas hockey. Loaded down with endorsements and playing his best game, he was a superstar and a household name. No one ever expected him to fail, but overnight, after the worst decision of his life, everything spirals out of his control. Abruptly, his reputation is in tatters, and he’s traded to the Arizona Raptors in a shocking move. Brushing off the wild and unfounded accusations that he faces on social media, and stuck on the second line, he keeps his head down and works hard to earn his spot. Tate knows he can make a difference if only his teammates would let him. Something has to change for him to earn their respect, but falling for the captain might not be his best move.
Vladislav Novikov has been called many things over his long and illustrious career, but the new nickname of Iceberg seems to fit best. Perhaps it’s due to his icy blue eyes, or the way he rams into opposing players as he defends his goalie. Or maybe it’s because of his cool demeanor when not playing the game he loves. Whatever the reason, it’s why he’s the perfect team captain for this wild bunch of puck-pushers. His perfectly controlled life is smooth as ice until Tate Collins rides into Tucson with his apple pie ways and those damn dimples. The young superstar immediately catches his eye. Despite knowing better than to start something with a teammate, the big, bad Iceberg is about to have that chilly veneer around his heart melted away by Tate one sweet kiss at a time.

FOSTER:

"Look out for Zach and don't hit on him."
My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself.
Easy.
Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my ... stick.
There's only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that's my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract.
The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice.
Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.


ZACH:

People confuse me.
And no one more than Foster Grant.
I've barely spoken two words to him in the whole time I've known him, but the second I step foot on campus, he's impossible to shake.
I can never anticipate his next move. And whenever we're together, my next move is a total mystery as well.
I want to give in to him, but that might mean coming clean about something I've never been bothered about before.
I'm still carrying my V-card.
And I think it's time to turn it in.

Rancher Martin Jamuson has a deep understanding of horses. He just wishes his instincts extended to his best friend, Scarborough Croughton, and the changes in their feelings toward each other. Martin may be the only friend Scarborough has in their small town, but Scarborough is a man of secrets, an outsider who’s made his own way and believes he can only rely on himself when the chips are down. Still, when he needs help with a horse, he naturally comes to Martin.

As they work together, Martin becomes more determined than ever to show Scarborough he’s someone he can trust… maybe someone he can love. Even if it risks their friendship, both men know the possibility for more between them deserves to be explored. But when Scarborough’s past reemerges, it threatens his home, horses, career, and even their lives. If they hope to survive the road before them, they’ll have to walk it together… and maybe make the leap from cautious friends to lovers along the way.

When Curt Townsend, a successful young DC lawyer, attends his first gay wedding, he doesn’t expect anything more than a great evening out spent celebrating two lucky guys willing to commit to one another. He certainly doesn’t anticipate meeting someone like Jack Farinelli. Fourteen years Curt’s senior, Jack owns two businesses: a gay bar and a motorcycle shop. He’s gorgeous and self-assured, but Curt is positive they have nothing in common.
Jack is comfortable in his own skin. He’s attracted to Curt’s quick wit and easy manner but most of all, to their unexpected mutual love of baseball. As they forge a friendship based on their shared enthusiasm for the sport, they begin a journey which reveals how their differences might be the catalyst behind a growing attraction. Both men have experienced their share of pain, but they realize they need to set aside the past and learn to trust in a future if they are to have one together.

Molly glæder sig til at få overstået 9. klasse. Hun tager sin håndbold seriøst, elsker sin familie men klassekammeraterne er sgu for mærkelige ind i mellem. Mone og Laura har bestemt sig for at være specielle. De klipper deres tøj i stykker, maler sig i ansigtet og læser Strunge. Drengene går mest op i at sidde foran en skærm og vil ikke rigtigt noget med deres liv. Atle holder sig for sig selv og siger aldrig noget. Da han finder på en helt speciel julegave til Molly, ved hun ikke rigtigt hvad hun synes om det.

Lix 17

  
Rigtig god og kort hverdagsberetning om livet som ung. Interessante personskildringer med flere forskellige typer. Et billede af en nok rimelig typisk klasse med håndboldpiger, de sjove, de anderledes, osv. og deres indbyrdes forhold. Den er skrevet i et letlæst sprog, men der er stadig plads til at lege med både form og ord

Det er en slags efterfølger til Superhero af samme forfatter, da de to hovedroller i den bog er biroller i denne bog. Jeg syntes ikke, at denne bog er helt lige så god som Superhero, men det er stadig en god og underholdende bog.


Journalism student Gabe Martin gets his first professional assignment—to write about a Christmas charity dinner that benefits a children’s home. It sounds like a total snooze-fest until Gabe learns that the event’s Santa is a mystery man. He shows up in costume and no one has a clue who he is. Uncovering Santa’s identity sounds like the perfect angle to turn a fluff piece into serious journalism.

Mack “The Mountain” McDonall, at 6’10”, is University of Wisconsin-Madison’s enormous star wrestler. When Gabe first claps eyes on him at a wrestling match, it’s lust at first sight. Gabe’s friend, Jordan, sets up the pair on a date. But when Gabe chatters on about his plans for outing Santa, Mack goes cold, and their first meeting becomes an epic fail.

As Gabe researches the children’s home, he learns that Mack has secrets a guy famous for being a brute wouldn’t want the world to know. Can Gabe find his holiday spirit, write a killer article, win the heart of a surly giant, and give everyone a very merry Christmas?

Den 19-årige Destan Tolvarsson er arving til tronen hos det mørke folk, der bor under jorden i landet Sikania. Tronarvingen til det lyse folk hedder Celina. Hun bor også i Sikania - men over jorden. De to folk har intet med hinanden at gøre og foragter hinanden. Men en dag møder Destan og Celina hinanden.




Jeg syntes det er en ret interessant verden bogen foregår i. Lys vs. mørke. Og hvad der kendetegner de forskellige folk.. De ser meget unuanceret på hinanden. De lyse er de blide (svage) og de mørke er de brutale. Men da Destan og Celina møder hinanden lærer de langsomt, at alt ikke er så let at opdele.

Jeg syntes, at det er en interessant og velskreven ny fantasyserie. Vil se frem til at læse de næste, når de udkommer

Summer camp is different from high school. Something about spending the night. Things happen.
Geography Club’s Russel Middlebrook is back, and he's going to work as a summer camp counselor with his best friends Min and Gunnar. He's sick and tired of being openly gay in high school, and a peaceful summer at Camp Serenity is just what he needs to relieve the stress that comes from being an "out" teenager
But he doesn't count on sudden new rivalries with Min and Gunnar, or having to chase after a cabin full of unruly campers. And he especially doesn't count on a fellow counselor as hunky as Web Bastion.
Things do happen at Camp Serenity, especially at night. Brent Hartinger's third novel is a story about Indian legends, skinny-dipping in moonlit coves, and the mysteries of a secret society called the Order of the Poison Oak.




En god efterfølger til Geography Club. Jeg kunne godt lide, hvordan at selvom de var der som ''voksne'' så var det i lige så høj grad udviklende for dem som for børnene der deltog i lejren.

Russel Middleook is convinced he's the only gay kid at Goodkind High School.Then his online Gay chat buddy turns out to be none other than Kevin the popular but closeted star of the school's baseball team. Soon Russel meets other gay students too. There's his best friend Min who reveals that she is bisexual.and her soccerplaying girlfriend Terese. Then there's Terese's politically active friend. Ike. But how can kids this diverse get together without drawing attention to themselves. Choose a club that's so boring nobody in their right mind would ever in a million years join it. Call it Geography Club


En rigtig god ungdomsbog med gode personskildringer. Man lærer de fleste af dem godt at kende. Men enten skulle den havde været længere eller der skulle skæres ned på personerne, for der er nogle af dem man kun lærer overfladisk at kende. Fx Ike. Så lidt flere sider til at komme rigtig i dybden med alle personerne. Men det er stadig en rigtig god bog, der beskriver det at være homoseksuel på en måde der føles meget rigtig. Som læser forstår man deres frygt og deres udvikling.
