Strays

This sweet story put a smile on my face. The time line seemed a bit skewed but I don't care. Both Mal and Jory were interesting and entertaining. I enjoyed the was that the author slowly peeled away the layers of the story. I'd like to read more.

Strays by A.J. Thomas

I sped through this novel. I loved it. I sighed when I checked & learned it's not the first in a series. Then I came to Goodreads to write this review, and see it's average rating is four stars, and many people were apparently confused by the plot and "too many characters"? Well, okay. I didn't have any trouble picking up what was happening - not necessarily in the moment, but quickly thereafter. It probably helps that I've been reading sf and fantasy for decades. And, this being a romance, I was focused where I wanted to be, in the attraction and complications surrounding Mal and Jory.

I really enjoyed this novel.… (more)

The Way Things Are by A.J. Thomas

One-word review: Satisfying.

Characters, plot, details, and in particular, the way the guys are with each other despite the crap life throws at them, this is a really good book. There's less-passionate writing for the sex parts, as opposed to the oh-god-he's-hot parts, than I would've liked, but writing is hard and I can't deduct stars for it. This is a solid, worthwhile romance. All the characters are well written, and the plot kept me well and truly hooked.

Pins and Needles by A.J. Thomas

DNF at 39%, because while this is well-written and engaging, the denial, this far in, of overwhelmingly obvious mutual attraction was very poorly executed, destroying any trust I'd had in the story. Lawyers should be more articulate, just for one thing.
