2020-2021 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: Hollywood To Horses

Hollywood To Horses by Dez Schwartz

This book was a lot of fun! I appreciated the sharp, concise writing style and the twisty, turny relationship development between the prickly Mateo and still-waters-run-deep Christopher, particularly the gradual reveal of what exactly Mateo's hangups were. The side characters Emily and especially Cameron were delightful. I could have used a little bit more with Douglas (I felt some inconsistency with his characterization), but the plot was well paced and cheerful, not to mention exciting! I broke out cackling several times over some absolute gems of one-liners. My piny bone (like the funny bone, only it goes off when there is a delicious amount of pining going on somewhere) was aching wonderfully. A short, sweet read with a romantic finish.

Although I felt at times as if i was entering into the middle of a series, I really enjoyed this book. The authors had a way of pulling me into the world they created and left me wanting more. I can not wait to see what the next book has in store for us.

The guys from the Lucky Cat are back and this time they are on the hunt for buried treasure. Landry and Gage have become one of my favorite couples. I love the chemistry that exists between them. Hope to see them back for more.

2020-2021 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: Harvest Moon (Wolf Moon Rising #2)

Harvest Moon (Wolf Moon Rising #2) by W.M. Fawkes & Sam Burns

I loved this book. I rarely give this high a score but the only possible “hit” I could give was I felt the description of farming showed the authors had little knowledge of farming but did a good job of researching the tidbits needed to make the plot fit together.
