REVIEW: Against the Grain – Jay Hogan

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.

Miller Harrison is a wrinkle in my life I could definitely do without. I have a job that … Read more

Edmund Robert was mostly thinking ‘well I’m buggered’ because he had no papers to display, no one was speaking in English, and the sign language he’d relied on for years wasn’t getting him anywhere. Then the … Read more
