REVIEW: Against the Grain – Jay Hogan

by
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. A jerk of a father, too many bullies to name, and a string of dipshit boyfriends whose interest in me rarely made it past the skirts I sometimes wear. 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

Genre: Contemporary LGBTQ+ Category: Bi, Gay Reviewer: Linda, Paranormal Romance Guild Get It On Amazon About The Book When JUDAH MADDEN flees his tiny suffocating home town in New Zealand for the dream of international ballet stardom, he never intends coming back.

A multi-talented musician with the ability to play the electric violin, electric cello and even the bass, he’d be an asset to any group of musicians, if only the bands who’d hired him over the years had truly thought that way. Instead, he’s singing for the dishes in an upscale restaurant, bitter, pissed off and unwilling to entertain the offer to replace the front man of the world-famous Deviant Angels because why the … Read more
