Rookie Mistake (On the Board, Book 1) LA Witt & Anna Zabo

Very Spicy MM Romance. Loved it!

This book combined two loves of mine – Ice Hockey and LGBT romance. Be still my beating heart! 

There are very descriptive, off the chart spicy scenes of consensual sexual activity between two men. Very well written. I want more of this!

There’s a lot of hockey talk, so if ice hockey isn’t your thing, you’ll learn about it on the way through. Who knows, it might even inspire you to check it out. It does have a healthy following, even here in the UK.

I also really loved the introduction of BDSM themes in the book and how the main character learns about and explores this new aspect of his sexuality along with the reader. Beautifully done. Absolutely superb.

The characters are well written, have depth and show growth over the course of the book. I fell a little bit in love with both of these men.

Be warned though, towards the end of the book there is discussion of historical sexual abuse of a young man. It is essential to the story arc and is discussed rather than described in any great detail.

So… if very descriptive LGBT sex and a bit of sports talk is your thing, you will love this book.

There is a second book which I must buy immediately.

The Venetian and the Rum Runner: LA Witt

A forbidden love affair in the time of Gangsters and Prohibition set in 1920s New York

This is a romance with M/M relationship and scenes of sex and gang related violence.

I loved this tale of forbidden love between an Italian gangster and an Irish rum runner during a time when society believed there were few worse evils than being homosexual. 

This book is filled with all the action, secrecy and violence that you’d expect during the time when organised crime ruled the streets and courthouses and the local speakeasy was the only place to get alcohol. When the poor starved to death and for many, a life of crime was the only way to make ends meet.

The writer has clearly researched the language and social structure of that time and the story is well written. The historical tensions between the Italian gangs and the Irish gangs, which frequently led to bloodshed and death, is well documented and comes to life in this book.
