Expect the Unexpected was written for the M/M Romance Group’s 2014 Love’s Landscapes event. This is the story of Sam Gallagher and his best friend Josh. It’s told in third person through the eyes of both Sam and Josh.

Sam and his friends are looking after Sam’s uncle’s home for four days. Everyone except Sam and Josh catch colds. Josh tells Sam he’ll drive the guys home and will return later.

Sam decides to jerk off by the pool while Josh is gone. Josh returns early and Sam is deeply embarrassed because Josh now knows how Sam feels about Josh. Sam runs out of the house even though Josh wants to talk to him. Strangely, Josh doesn’t go looking for Sam right away and takes a nap. After some searching he eventually finds Sam.

There were a couple of things that made it so I couldn’t enjoy the story as much as I would have liked. The first half of the story was almost all telling us what Sam was thinking. The second half had too much dialogue and the dialogue was probably sweeter than it needed to be. I did however enjoy the scene where Sam jerked off at the pool and the scene where Josh searched for Sam at the beach and started to panic when he found the clothes in the water.

A fast, easy read about friends to lovers, I give this story 3 Stars.

Sonny James had no idea what to expect when Luki Vasquez wandered across his path - but he figured the man could bring something new into his life. Turns out that was an understatement. Luki can definitely ignite Sonny's passions, but they are together quickly pulled into a multi-state chase that leaves both of their lives in jeopardy.

I'd heard bits and pieces about this series before jumping in and now I can see why people have such great things to say about it. The reader is definitely taken on quite the adventure with these two men. This is also one of those books that keeps you guessing - assuming nothing truly bad can happen to the main characters or those close to them just seems like something you shouldn't do. I definitely like the feel, the speed, the pacing - and am very keen to pick up the second book.… (más)

After everything they have been through, one would hope that Luki Vasquez and Sonny James live happily ever after following their romantic wedding in Hawaii. But when you've crossed paths with organized crime and deranged men with fragile egos, it can be hard to shake what's occurred in the past. When one of those deranged men targets Luki's nephew, Jackie, Luki and Sonny find themselves spending their honeymoon tracking him down and hoping they can bring him home safely. It is not only a race against time--it's also a race against what can only be described as pure evil.
