All of it had seemed simple in my brain but taking my life back at almost forty wasn’t just about changing zip codes. That was until one night in my favorite diner, and the more I was looking for asked to sit at my table. DaniI was a serial monogamist, but long-term hadn’t worked out for me. My fairytale didn’t exist. The woman for me wasn’t out there waiting, … Read more

Head over Feels - Bix Barrow

Genre: Contemporary LGBTQ+ Category: Gay, Pan Reviewer: Lucy Get It On Amazon About The Book Well, this puts the “ex” in “explosive”… Felix: What would happen if everyone you’d ever dated got together and plotted against you?

But a guy like that deserves more than a grouchy forty-something ex-FBI agent with a broken body and a screwed-up brain. I’m shocked when he offers a no-strings night together, though I don’t think twice before I’m … Read more
