Season's Greetings, Christmas Meetings by LiesLoveAndLullibies

Season's Greetings, Christmas Meetings by LiesLoveAndLullibies

After reconnecting with his childhood friend on Thanksgiving, Connor cannot wait to spend more time with Oliver. Discovering that they both now live in the same city is a bonus...that and finding out Oliver is gay AND a great kisser!

I was so happy to discover this sequel to Home for the Holidays so I could find out what happened to Connor and Oliver after their monumental Thanksgiving holiday reunion. The story is still in it's early stages, but I look forward to seeing how Connor and Oliver's relationship grows and strengthens!

I ❤ Yaoi: Together with Dad! by Harumitu (Free! Doujinshi)

Hello fellow yaoi lovers! The final yaoi recommendation of 2015 is the Free! doujinshi, Together with Dad! by Harumitu!

Even as children, Makoto and Haru shared a close bond, but their fathers also forged a silly friendship during their adventures watching their sons.

This is such a silly story! I've only recently become aware of Free! fans not only shipping MakoHaru, but also their fathers! You will chuckle to yourself as you read about all of the hijinks these two men get into! Check it out!

Grand Pas de Deux by Shaples

Grand Pas de Deux by Shaples

Nagisa is an incredible dancer and is studying to become a professional at a prestigious dance academy. However, in order to pay his tuition, he works as a stripper. It's good money and he gets to show off his dancing skills. Things get
a little complicated when a new, blue-haired bartender catches his eye.

I adore this story! The fact that Nagisa is a stripper may turn some people off, but it's a really interesting premise. Rei is not just the intellectual dork we've all come to know and love from the anime. There is a dark side to him AND he has tattoos! The development of Rei and Nagisa's friendship definitely brought a smile to my face, and their burgeoning romance warmed my heart. Check it out!

I ❤ Yaoi: Let's Eat Together by Hakutou Noriko

Good morning yaoi lovers! This week's feature is Let's Eat Together by Hakutou Noriko.

While in high school, Sonoda and Matsumoto had a brief relationship. When his classmates questioned Sonoda about the relationship, he denied everything, effectively hurting and alienating his boyfriend. Now, many years later, Sonoda finds himself in a troubling situation. Matsumoto is his new roommate!

This is a pretty cute story. I thoroughly enjoyed the culinary aspect, but I also felt there were a lot of holes in the story. I wish we could have learned more about Sonoda and Matsumoto's relationship in high school and what happened after Sonoda effectively ruined everything between them. I also felt things moved a little too fast, which often happens in one shots. If the story had been fleshed out more, this could have been a really great read.

Itty Bitty Nagron (volume 3): Marvel's Agents of Spartacus by figbash

Agron arrives home to his boyfriend engrossed in the latest episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. because a certain character looks quite a bit like himself...

The newest comic from figbash is 100% hilarious! She shows us how Agron and Nasir would react to watching shows that feature Dan & Pana, and I enjoyed every minute. I dare you not to laugh while reading! Check it out!

Title: Indigo Road
Author: R.J. Jones
Genre: New Adult, Gay Romance, Contemporary
Length: Novel
Cover artist: Meredith Russell


Synopsis

Two best friends take a year off to find themselves… and end up finding each other.

Indigo Road CoverJoshua Simpson has just finished four years at Purdue University, but that’s not why he’s buzzing with excitement. Once they’ve said goodbye to their families, Josh and his best friend Alex are taking off to discover America in an old but reliable VW van, planning on not seeing snow for an entire year.

Josh has always considered himself straight—except for that one time in college—so when he and Alex are living in such close proximity on the road, he’s unsure what these new feelings mean. Is it because they’re spending 24/7 together, or is it something deeper? And does it really matter since Josh has only ever seen Alex with women?

While in Oregon, Josh meets Johnno, a sexy but confusing Aussie surfer. While having an impromptu surfing lesson, Johnno helps Josh realize who he is and what he wants—but Alex’s reaction leaves Josh confused.

From a Montana ranch to the bright lights and dangerous streets of Los Angeles to a dark and lonely deserted highway in Alabama, join Josh and Alex as they drive around the US, discovering not only who they are, but who they can be together.
