Ann-Katrin Byrde

I finished out the #LoveWins series by Ana Byrde and I enjoyed this series more than I expected too. The characters were all very likeable and it was a fun read.

12 Days of Gay was the final installment of the series. It does not have physical version, I listened to it on audible. It is a Christmas story about two men who pair together for a video contest. The one thinks the other dislikes him but reality is he has a lot going on in his life and secretly likes the other the entire time. I’m not usually a fan of the holiday books, it’s a common theme in a lot of series where they feel they need to write one about the holidays but this one was okay. It flowed nicely and wrapped up the series well.

★★★★★ I would recommend this series. Each book is always carefree and has a good ending. It does not disappoint.… (more)

Game, S*x, Match was a unique story of two online friends who end up meeting in real life and compete in a series of competitive games for a cash prize. The one online friend knows that the other is his ex but doesn’t he keeps it hidden for fear of losing his online friend since their relationship years previous did not end well. This was a funny storyline and very lighthearted. The two main characters are interesting and this one was one of my favorites of the series.

Straight as a Cucumber was a fun story about a straight college guy who takes in his best friends little brother as a roommate. The little brother is gay and has secretly crushed on him for years. In the end he realizes he’s not as straight as he seems and he comes to build a relationship with his friend’s brother and faces several challenges along the way.

I’m combining these two as they were on the shorter side and I’m getting through the series fairly quickly. Ana Byrde’s #LoveWins series was recommended to me by Audible so I decided to give it a shot. I don’t mind a good LGBTQ+ Rom Com.
Fake the Date and Hook, Line, & Sinker are the first two books of the series. They have repeating characters and a chronological storyline so it’s not hard to follow. Each book so far explores different angles of the gay / bi community and the challenges they face which I support as representation in the community can be scarce.
The characters also have pets that are an integral part of the story and add an extra special charisma to this series.
Byrde does a good job at keeping things light and the characters likeable. The comedy is not too overdone and the storylines are believable. I will plan to finish books 3-5 in April.
★★★★ Recommend it if you need a light hearted read!… (more)
