Book Reviews of The Tin Star
Book Review: HOT and Sweet
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm new to this Genre, and this is the tenth book I've read dealing with M/M love, sex, romance, passion...all the yummy stuff and I have to say that I LOVED every word on every page. I found myself laughing and crying with these characters. The author is gifted in a sense that she brought EACH of her characters to life, giving them all very different personalities. Ethan and Jamie are more than lovers, they are partners in life and that makes the plot more interesting.
Other books in this Genre fail to capture my imagination the way this one has done, some just don't go into detail in the love scenes, some have no sex at all. Isn't that why some of us read these? We want that hotness...
If you're looking for something to help you get through your day, something to add spice with amazing characters...Read this book...I'm off to buy another book from this same author...
Book Review: Sexy fun
Summary: 4 Stars
This story about two gorgeous, adorable cowboys in Texas in so engaging and the characters so well-developed you can almost forget it's basically a book of porn and convince yourself you're reading popular fiction - and I mean that in the best way! Jamie grew up as the little brother of Ethan's best friend, John, who is straight. Neither Jamie or Ethan knew the other was gay and when they discover it, and Ethan kindly offers Jamie a place to stay, the sparks fly. They have wonderful chemistry and lots of steamy sex- then their relationship blooms into a sweet, but not too mushy love story. Throw in some crime, drama, and major homophobia (it takes place in small-town Texas after all) and you have the making of an actual interesting plot. It's definitely a guilty pleasure that you will want to read over and over - in between cold showers - yeah!
Book Review: cardboard cutouts
Summary: 3 Stars
If you are looking for descriptions of hot guys having sex, you've certainly got that in this book. The regular spacing of this activity suggests that this book is meant to be read in short bursts, each punctuated with steamy action (bedtime reading?). Beyond this, the characters are cute cardboard cutouts, with the stereotype of an older guy/younger guy, and short hair/long hair. Don't expect a plot. Any potential threat to the idyllic relationship is quickly disposed of: jealousy is written off in a paragraph, a hot guy is noticed but is gone, no issue arises between the couple where one is liberal and out, and the other is conservative and closeted. The biggest threat is the homophobic violence, but the perpetrator is no mystery, and the events that ensue are almost a footnote.
Still, for hot steamy cowboy sex, it is a fun read.
Book Review: Engaging M/M erotica romance !
Summary: 5 Stars
The previous reviewer comments the romance is based on physical attraction but this is M/M erotica romance. Of course sex is the driving force! I do not expect or accept anything less. However Tin Star is not just sex. There is a solid plot and engaging characters and the lovers' relationship does evolve though more at the physical level which is where the fun is. And what is hotter than 2 cowboys/ranchmen in love! I read this first as a e-book from Loose ID and have no qualms about purchasing it in good old fashion paperback. In the past few months more M/M eroticas are available in print and I hope Torquere Press and Loose ID will continue to keep the printing machines busy. Now if only Changeling Press/Amber Quill Press/Samhain/Ellora's Cave will join in!Book Review: A wonderful love story
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished reading "The Tin Star" for the fourth time and I enjoy it more each time I read it. The main characters Ethen and Jamie are very well developed and by the time you finish the book, you fell like you know them and they have become friends. This is a beautifully written love story and it is such a pleasure to see the love and caring that grows between Ethen and Jamie. Love like theirs is something that is hard to find and the book leaves you with a very satisfied and warm feeling. The story line is well developed and the plot carries through the entire book. I highly recommend "The Tin Star" to anyone who enjoys m/m romances. This one is a real keeper that you will want to read over again.
