Siden d. 4. august 1996 har jeg skrevet ned hver gang jeg har læst en bog, og er startet forfra med nr 1 hver den 4. august. Da det efterhånden er ved at være en del notesbøger, har jeg besluttet, at fra d. 4. august 2008 går over til blog i stedet for notesbog

Den er egentlig godt skrevet, men der var et eller andet...Den var lang tid om at fange mig sådan rigtig. Ved ikke lige hvad det var. Jeg har læst andre bøger af begge af forfatterne, hvad jeg blev fanget ind på en helt anden måde.

Ryker's heart has space for three things—his family, hockey, and Jacob. As their wedding grows closer, it seems that nothing can stand in the way of an idyllic celebration, surrounded by friends and loved ones. But things appear to be changing; Jacob is forging a future that might take him away from Ryker, and Ryker alternates between pride and fear when a new man comes into his fiancé's life. A hockey season from hell has him doubting his life choices, but worse, he's driving Jacob into another man's arms. How has their perfect life suddenly gone so wrong?
Life has certainly thrown many twists and turns in Jacob's path. Most of the goals he’d set for himself as a teenager had to change, but one has remained constant: finding his heart's desire and marrying him. That aspiration was reached when Ryker said, "I do". Planning their wedding was meant to be the best time of their lives, but Jacob unwittingly puts his trust in the wrong man and finds himself in danger. Is their love strong enough to survive the fallout?

Men en dag ser han, at en han kender kaster en brosten ned fra en bro. De næste dage andre alt sig.
Det er en god og velskreven historie. Man kommer ind under huden på Carl. Man forstår hans dilemmaer og hvad han kæmper med. Hvad skal han gøre med den viden han så gerne ikke vil have? Er det overhovedet muligt at gøre noget? Hvem vil tro ham loseren som han stadig føler sig som inderst inde?
Den er rimeligt let at læse, men er ikke en egentlig letlæsningsbog

Serien "Centauri" består af seks bøger, som følger Aliix og hans veninde Hannahs kamp for at lære den fortid at kende, som er blevet taget fra dem. Deres tid sammen bliver en lang kamp for sandheden og en flugt fra de onde mennesker fra organisationen "OPRINDELSER".
Den er godt og spændende skrevet. Jeg er egentligt ikke så meget til science fiction, men var godt underholdt her.
Bøgerne i serien ligger på lix 18-21, men man får alligevel en spændende historie med klassiske science fiction elementer. Med så lav lix og så få sider kan man selvfølgelig ikke få hele historien, men det bidrager egentlig bare til historien. Alt det skjulte og usagte øger spændingen.
Jeg vil helt klart anbefale at læse serien ud i et køre. Det øger også effekten af forsiderne, som virkelig bidrager til det indeni og viser udviklingen i historien
Jeg vil nok placere den som ung let, men de kan læse af lidt yngre også.

I was supposed to be partying with a bunch of celebrities in paradise this week, okay?
But then I made one teeny, tiny error in judgement before leaving New York, and suddenly the paparazzi expected me to give a command performance as “the other man” in their straight celebrity “outing” of the week.
Um, no, precious. So much no.
Instead, I did what any self-respecting, secret-keeping man would do in that situation: I cancelled my trip and fled New York to hide out in the last place anyone would look for me--a weird little Florida island where nothing exciting ever happened.
Or at least it didn’t… until I arrived.
Now I find myself shacked up with my fake boyfriend Beale Goodman, Whispering Key’s most adorable, most enormous, most virginal cinnamon roll—a guy who rescues feral cats, believes in soulmates, and talks about happiness like it’s free for the taking.
A guy who nearly convinces me, with every smile and kiss, that it is.
Stranger still? I find myself falling for the people on the island. Fitting in, instead of sticking out. Making, you know… friends. And for the first time ever, I think I’ve found something I want to run to, rather than from...
As long as I can keep my secrets from catching up with me.
En rigtig sjov bog med et rigtig charmerende persongalleri. Whispering Key bliver ved med at være et godt bekendskab. Glæder mig til den næste bog i serien.

Tyler:
Well, I’m back in Port Dale for the summer, staying with Elliot and Clay. Not my original plan, but that got busted.
I never expected to run into him. He looked good, even better than before. Nate had been more than just my best friend, he was my ‘almost’ first boyfriend. Then he was suddenly removed from my life. I’d thought it was for good but then, as I’ve recently found out, plans change!
Now we’re both back in Port Dale. Can we pick up where we left off? Should we? Well, the answer to that was out of our hands when the trouble started.
Nathaniel:
My life has always been determined by my father. He made me leave Port Dale, he chose my college, and he brought me back when my grades dropped.
Then I ran into Tyler and, wow, he’s changed…for the better! Getting together again could be a blessing… or a curse if my father ever finds out. Can I keep Tyler a secret from him? Should I? Little did we know, trouble was waiting right around the corner, and it would put all our lives in danger.
Can Tyler and Nate rekindle their old flame, or will Nate’s father win again? Or is there something else in play, something much more deadly?
En god bog i serien. Interessant at se Hit or miss hovedpersonerne gennem øjnene på to personer, der i sig selv er interessante

Clay: I’m an assassin, and I’m not ashamed of it. I’m good at what I do, and the people I kill deserve it. One more contract, one more hunt, one more kill. To be honest, it’s getting old. Until this latest job. Suddenly there’s someone between me and my target. What’s worse is he gets the better of me, twice! He’s a problem I’ve never had before…and maybe even more.
Elliot: After years in the Marines, and playing personal bodyguard, I thought I’d seen it all. An assassin coming after the philanthropist I’m paid to protect was a surprise, but not really a shock. The shock came later. The assassin is a killer with the most beautiful eyes, and damn it, I even trust him...and more.
Clay is paid to kill, Elliot is paid to protect…the same person. The two men stand no chance together. But things aren’t always what they seem. As Fate conspires to change the rules of the game, will she change the inevitable outcome?
En interessant og anderledes historie i serien og genren, da de to hovedpersoner er så anderledes fra normalen. Og historien var ikke helt så forudsigelig

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.

Roo
Five years ago, I walked away from Sunbury, Oregon, and left my best friend behind.
The move was supposed to get my life on track. I even had a list.
Life changing epilepsy surgery. Check.
See the world. Check.
Get over my straight best friend … Not exactly.
No matter where I go or who I meet, I can’t let Tanner go.
I’m back to tell him how I feel. To get the closure I need once and for all.
Only now I’m here and falling for him all over again, it’s getting harder to say the words.
Because once I have my closure, I’ll be gone.
And this time it will be for good.
Tanner
When my best friend, Roo, left for Australia, it was the worst day of my life.
I thought we’d have each other always.
But Roo needed the surgery so I let him go, thinking he’d come straight back.
Five years is a long time.
Now he’s here, all I want is to hold on tight.
I need to show him what he means to me.
The problem is, I’m not exactly sure what that is.
My draw to him has always been confusing and different—everyone in town says so. But I struggle to understand it.
All I know is I won’t survive him leaving again.
And I’ll do anything to make him stay.

After the Navy boots him out, Tristan is screwed. Without an honorable discharge or a college degree, his job prospects are grim. If only he knew a service member who was willing to get married, make Tristan a dependent, and transfer his GI Bill. Such as, say, a former coworker who’s single, gay, and wants his family off his back about his refusal to settle down…and who maybe feels guilty for his role in Tristan losing his career.
Casey has never liked Tristan, but the plan is irresistible. In fact, it’s perfect. Now Tristan has health insurance and a place to live, and he’s going to school. Meanwhile, Casey’s conscience is assuaged, and he’s still sleeping his way through town while his family is none the wiser. The guys stay out of each other’s way, and it’s all good.
Right up until a pandemic locks everything down.
Suddenly it’s just Casey and Tristan…and maybe that’s not such a bad thing. In a time when they’re both desperate for strength, support, and human contact, they find them in the most unexpected place: each other.
But when feelings come into play, is it something real? Or just two lonely men making the best of terrifying times? And how in the world do Casey and Tristan tell the difference?

Parrish Partridge’s True Facts:
There’s nothing hotter than a tall, gruff, bewildered, tattooed mountain of a man cuddling a sweet, orphaned baby, so you can tell yourself that you’ll resist him...
But that’s a lie.
And when that man asks you to do him a favor and pretend to be his very temporary, very fake fiance to help him get custody of that adorable baby, you can pretend you know better than to say yes…
But that’s a lie, too.
And when you actually get to know your kind, strong, pullet-loving prince of a fiance, and all his crazy, lovable, meddling neighbors, you can tell yourself you’re not really falling for Diesel Church and the town of Licking Thicket…
But that might be the biggest lie of all.

Licking Thicket er et rigtig charmerende bekendskab. Man kan ikke lade være med at smile, når man læser
Brooks Johnson’s Words To Live By:
When returning to Licking Thicket, TN, for the first time in ten years to reunite with your nosy neighbors, heart-broken ex-girlfriend, and matchmaking mama who never quite believed you were gay, it’s best to bring a fake boyfriend as backup...
Just don’t be surprised when your ex-girlfriend does the same.
And when her incredibly hot fake boyfriend becomes the one island of calm in a sea of bovine-based insanity, it’s best to exercise caution… especially when he pushes you up against the rough barn wall to check you very thoroughly for splinters...
Just don’t be surprised if you fall head-over-hooves in love with him.
