A Gay Romance

A Gay Romance - 'Gina A. Rogers',  'Kyle Adams'

This book takes taking nothing seriously very serious. ( yeah, I had to read it twice to understand what I meant too)
It's a spooftastic, caricature laden, chocked-full of every trope under the sun, a hilarious parody that pokes good natured fun at all the things m/m books seem to love to incorporate over and over again in all the books.
In a friendly way it exaggerates everything from growling with a capital G by an Alpha with a capital A to the “Homosapia County police. The fact that, miraculously and very conspicuously, every single officer who worked there was gay made the Hall of Head a double entendre and funny as hell.”
Ram Rage and his partner Blake are the cops that are going to try and solve the murder that was perpetrated at the Sew What and Kory is the prime suspect.
Which brings Kory in to Ram's life and the Alpha (with a capital growly A) doesn't know what hit him.
Murder, mayhem, inept cops, lube, unicorns, applesauce, never ending hot water heaters, and a green-eyed man everyone ( and I mean everyone ) loves and puntastic craziness ensues. Oh and not to forget a freaky plant with his own POV.
To enjoy this story you have to just let go and take nothing seriously and love a jammed packed story of jokey silliness. It was fun seeing what OTT satire was coming next, every trope was covered, sometimes to an extreme. And the book doesn't just make fun of all the ever present and much loved 'typical' and 'stereotypical' things in the m/m genre and in the books I've read and loved, it also makes fun of itself.
“I’m in charge here,” Ram growled. “We’re going to do this by the book. You can’t just skip pages of the gay manual, we do all the steps, in order, so we get the full experience.”

I found myself nodding and smiling, thinking oh yes, that in every other book I've read and then I'd read on and nod and say OH YES riiight that is also a must-have in an m/m story. A lot of the things I complain about or bemoan in books were so cleverly exaggerated that I had to laugh at myself a little for usually being annoyed by them. I've also never read any of it quite like these authors portrait it, I can say despite reading a lot, but the way this was done is definitely unique. At times it was a bit overwhelming and it took me a chapter or two to really get what it was all about, but certain things were just so well done and impressively ridiculous that I just had to be amused. Plus there was one of my favorite things EVER in this book, I don't want to say what, but it's no wonder everyone loves Kory. I also have to add my vocabulary for the word 'butthole' has been expanded ( pun intended) by leaps and bounds..so many different ways of saying it. I'm in awe.
I really don't want to give anything away, this book has to be read to be believed.

 

Cowboy Sandwich? How can I NOT read this?

Cowboy Sandwich - Drew Hunt

An m/m/m and the title is Cowboy Sandwich! Seriously, how can I not read this?

Ok two cowboys and an Englishman walk into a bar…no really, that’s what happens.

Barry decides to try and fulfill his cowboy sex fantasy while traveling through the US. One evening he sees two hot cowboys and the idea surpassed his imagination and expectations. Jake and Jimmy have been a couple for years, but when Barry, the cute English muffin (or is it a scone? Or a biscuit?) volunteers to be the filling in their cowboy sandwich they jump at the chance.

Jake and Jimmy have the habit of sprouting cheesy dialog during sex and they have a weird fetish for wearing red and blue respectively and exclusively. They are also very competitive and love to insult each other, but I liked it. It was funny and silly and sort of juvenile. It was cute watching Barry try and keep them both feeling evenly appreciated and feeling like equally hot and sexy cowboy studs.

It’s also one of the few (very few) books I’ve read that gives a small peek at the less than sexy side effects of anal sex, which again, I thought was funny and original.

Barry takes over the household, cooking and trying to keep the red and blue cowboys in line. The ranch hands love him and he’s something of an animal whisperer and the sex is exactly what he’s always wanted. Barry is in cowboy-sandwich heaven.
This might also be a good book for foodies. There are quite a few cooking descriptions and holiday meal preparations. There are some of the typical issues and problems covered in this book, nothing really different or new but an enjoyable ménage book all the same.

I found this a fun, easy read, not angsty or difficult. The cowboys were fun in their sometimes OTT behavior and I liked British Barry quite a bit too.

All in all a cowboy sex-fest meal with a side of sweetness, a dash of silly and a cup of cuteness in puppy form named Rex. A good addition to my ménage story addiction.
