Blue Steel Chain by Alex Beecroft (Trowchester Blues, #3) [ARC] Review

★★★★
GOODREADS SUMMARY: At sixteen, Aidan Swift was swept off his feet by a rich older man who promised to take care of him for the rest of his life. But eight years later, his sugar daddy has turned from a prince into a beast. Trapped and terrified, Aidan snatches an hour’s respite at the Trowchester Museum.

Local archaeologist James Summers is in a failing long distance relationship with a rock star, and Aidan—nervous, bruised, and clearly in need of a champion—brings out all his white knight tendencies. When everything falls apart for Aidan, James saves him from certain death . . . and discovers a skeleton of another boy who wasn’t so lucky.

As Aidan recovers, James falls desperately in love. But though Aidan acts like an adoring boyfriend, he doesn’t seem to feel any sexual attraction at all. Meanwhile there are two angry exes on the horizon, one coming after them with the press and the other with a butcher’s knife. To be together, Aidan and James must conquer death, sex, and everyone’s preconceptions about the right way to love—even their own. How disappointing that I didn’t know that it’s part of a series. I never read the first ones. But… that is not a prob. Because I found out that its part of a series after I finished reading it.

Note: Spoilers.

• It’s a good one… According to my reader I read it for about 4 hours…

• Sometimes, I felt like I’m at loss… like I was missing something.

• Both main characters… are pretty annoying. Annoying in the sense of… both of them being a giant fools. I want to… do violent things…. (LOL) GRRRR Nanggigigil ako ng sobra!

• I feel like I want to sit them both and talk to them… and asked them why are they still with “them”. Then after they leave the room… I’ll call them idiots. I know Im so bad.
*face… meet palm*

• The sensuality is up to the highest point. *Phew* I wish… you know, Aidan is not… #SPOILER

• I am the kind of reader who check who is the author before reading it. So the only chance I check out an author is by reading ARCs. Because I only read books for the authors I know… or if I saw it on Bestsellers. I think Im going to start reading Alex Beecroft future books! *thumbs up*

If It Drives (Market Garden, #7) by Aleksandr Voinov & L.A. Witt [ARC]

★★★★★

Goodreads summary: If it flies, drives, or fornicates, it's cheaper to rent it.

After driving James Harcourt, his wealthy banker boss, around for a year and a half, Cal isn’t surprised by much anymore. Not even James’s regular trips to Market Garden, London’s most elite gay brothel.

But when James leaves the Garden alone one night and turns to Cal instead, Cal’s floored. After crushing on his boss for ages, it’s his wet dream come true . . . until the awkward morning after. Cal still has a job to do, but he wants to offer more. Yet James doesn’t take him up on it; he keeps Cal at arm’s length and continues his chauffeured jaunts to Market Garden.

As Cal learns what James needs from the rentboys, he tries to fill that need himself. But there’s more to James’s penchant for rentboys than Cal realizes, and it may be one role that Cal can’t fill without overstepping his duty.

So… this is the first M-M book review here on my blogger, but it’s not the first M-M book that I’ve read. You can check my goodreads page so see them.
If It Drives actually is my first M-M ARC! YEY!
I love L.A. Witt & Aleksandr Voinov duo. I am a big fan of this series!

So when I got approved, I started reading it. It kept me up all night.
I love it. It’s beautiful, sexy and so hawt!

• At first part I thought it’s not connected to Market Garden besides James being an occasional client. Then James and his driver, Callum, got involved (I mean they had sweaty and so hot sex) so I start asking (asking my imaginary book buddy while reading. I’m cray cray! Wahaha!) why this book is in Market Garden series.

• So yeah… the story is about this sexy banker, who likes men to top him and his driver, who wants to learn how to dominate a guy much better.

• James is the sexy banker. (I mean very sexy, for real I think he’s the sexiest among the Market Garden Series characters from book 1) There is something about him that I instantly liked. Gawd!  I love him in bed. (well I didn’t exactly got to bed with him… so you know what I mean) He’s so “sub”, gah! I don’t know how to explain it! I like it when he do what Callum told, it’s like I can picture it in my mind. * fanning *

• Callum is the driver. I love this guy! I love him especially when he and James are in bed. (Well… not always in bed, I mean.. you know what I mean) Gosh! My stomach is full of fluttering butterflies when he says “sir” even he’s the Dom in the relationship! Hawt Hawt!

• I love the part when Cal compares himself with a car, it’s my favorite part.

• Is this the last Market Garden Book? I hope it’s not. I’m still wondering what happened to Rolex…
