I just finished Jessica Freely's Rust Belt. It was fun to read about David and Seth again. The ending was hard-hitting. I have very clear images in my head. Even if the scenes were rough, I love it when an author can create those pictures for me with just enough detail to make them "real".
Also, I have been slowly reading Torquere's Charity Sips.
Some Day Some Way by Slade and Wilde about two gay teachers is a nice read, though it could be better with some good editing.
If Wishes Were Horses by Julia Talbot is a well written and moving escape into the world of cowboys.
Mentor by Sean Michael -a Jarheads short- is everything you would expect from an interlude with Rig, Rock and Dick. God I love Rig!
Changes by AKM Miles is a romantic "rescue" story. In typical AKM style it is low angst and has lovely characters.
The Good Life by Vic Winter is not only is it well written, but it managed to send me down memory lane to my college days (and some of the challenges of being a penniless student). Better yet it managed to leave me feeling better than good in the end, which is always a good thing.
Do Over by Sara Bell is my second favorite of the bunch so far. In typical Sara Bell style the characters are awesome. The story about a man who is declared cancer free after a challenging battle with the disease is heartwarming. It has some funny moments and some poignant moments, but most of all it has that satisfying vibe that comes from reading about someone living life the way it should be.
Save The Last Dance by Kara Larson is my favorite so far. It is a beautifully written tale about a wedding photographer and a wedding DJ. It is hard to develop characters that the reader really cares about in a sip length story, but Larson managed that and more. The feel of the story is uplifting with a focus on new love and possibilities; it stuck with me for quite a while.
I still have a few more charity sips to read. I'll keep you posted.
