Books I read in July : comments [rivers

I'm definitely going to have a care before reading Alex Beecroft again. Very good writing, but lots of dark looking plot summaries. I was not in a good place for that this month, idt.

I think my fave plumber books were one and three. I think I have now read 90% of her back catalogue, some of which I super loved, and some of which not so much, and one of which was so bad I kept laughing out loud. I really have to do this month's book post. Last month's. It's September now (HOW)

I don't mind the dark tone of some of Beecroft's books because I love her writing style so much. From what I know, she's focusing on a self-published space opera series. The first book has a romance between a bi dude and a close-to-middle age Latinx woman. The second book will have an F/F couple and the 3rd one will have an asexual dude/non-asexual dude romance.

As for Merrow, I've learned my lesson (3x now) to stick to the Plumber series only. :(

If you're looking for lighter fare, you might want to check out Tia Fielding's One Step Forward. It's a contemporary about a bisexual horse whisperer who is a widower and a gay dude whose horse the bi guy is trying to rehabilitate.

Despite a couple of somber themes (the bi guy's wife committed suicide before the book begins, the gay dude is severely depressed), the book is on the fluffier scale of things. Also, it has a handful of female characters and no misogyny!

To me, it's the kind of book that works well after an intense or angsty read. Although I didn't like it too much (gave it 2 stars on GR), I think the mellow pace and overall theme of healing will be something you:all enjoy. :)
