Against the Grain - Jay Hogan - Auckland Med

Genre: Contemporary, Romance LGBTQ+ Category: MM Gay Reviewer: Maryann Get It On Amazon About The Book I don’t like labels and I’m happy that way, but it’s taken a long time to get here.

Suffice to say, my faith in men runs a little thin.  The last thing I need is a gruff, opinionated, fiery, closeted, Paralympian jock messing with my hard-won peace. Miller Harrison is a wrinkle in my life I could definitely do without. I have a job that … Read more
