    To the Moon and Back by Melissa Brayden

    To the Moon and Back is the 7th Melissa Brayden novel I have read, and it quickly became one of my favourites. The relationship between stage manager Lauren Prescott and fallen movie star Carly Daniel was sweet, intense, and ultimately mature. I rooted for them throughout the story, and my heart ached for them as they worked out issues. There were plenty of plot twists, and while none were very unexpected, all worked perfectly for the story. The pacing was precise, and not once had anything felt rushed.

    Murder at Pirate’s Cove: An M/M Cozy Mystery (Secrets and Scrabble #1) by Josh Lanyon

    I wish I could say I enjoyed the book, but it was just okay. The storyline was fairly decent, but unfortunately, most characters (save Tommy and Nora) were flat and not interesting enough to keep me invested. Personally, I did not like the writing style in the beginning. It felt a bit of a drag before I got used to it.
