So is this a rule to live by? This review by @spike382 of a great story, I'm partially into and I would highly recommend the read!! Good Guys Don’t Date Bad Boys by Laura S. Fox Reviewer: spike382 Status: Complete Word Count: 227,576 My favorite genre of story to read here on GA has always been Romance. But a particular flavor of Romance I particularly enjoy is that of the College Romance. Maybe because I wasn’t lucky enough to have a romance of my own in college? A particular story that caught my interest late in 2022 was one such college romance, Good Guys Don’t Date Bad Boys, by Laura S. Fox. In Good Guys Don’t Date Bad Boys, we’re introduced to Jonathan Hamilton, a young college student who has changed schools in his junior year, fleeing undisclosed “drama” that has left him guarded when meeting new people. Apparently , trusting new people previously was partially the cause of his current predicament. It soon becomes apparent that Jonathan comes from money and privilege, and yet he brought none of that with him when he started at his new school. Shortly into the new semester Jonathan encounters a seemingly rowdy group who, in his mind, are stereotypical frat boys. One in particular stands out, Maddox Kingsley, a tight-shirted, perfectly sculpted, perfect specimen, emitting nonchalance. Or, in Jonathan’s first impression, a douche. Maddox is the apparent BMOC, with a reputation of girls throwing themselves at him, and competing in some form of “illegal fighting.” He comes with a requisite nickname “Mad Dawg.” Yet, upon seeing Jonathan, takes an inexplicable interest in him, and determines to get to know him. To which, in what might be one of the funnier introductions of all time, Jonathan simply replies “not interested.” After all, Maddox is an obvious bad boy, and Jonathan has determined good guys don’t date bad boys. Thus begins one roller-coaster ride of a romance with twists and turns, and revelations you’ll never see coming. I had a great time reading this, and a great time interacting with the author as she posted. It’s a fun, sweet story and I highly recommend, if you haven’t had the chance, check it out today.

Silverwolf by Wayne Gray Reviewer: chris191070 Status: Complete Word Count: 43,705 Well let's dive into the world of the supernatural this month. We are treated to something very different from Wayne. We meet Jed, a man with many talents who is used to life in Northern California. But things begin to change for him, when he meets the mysterious Wolfgang. Wolfgang has come to town to investigate a string of suspicious murders. But not all is as it seems as we are introduced to his many talents. We are introduced to the world of the supernatural, where you will meet many different creatures in this very different take of the supernatural. Of course you will also find plenty of erotic sex amongst the murder and mystery. It is fast paced and will leave you wanting more.

For our first new review of 2022 we need to thank @chris191070. Take a look, if you are interested give it a read and make sure to like, comment and recommend! Spirit Wolves by Kbois Reviewer: chris191070 Status: Complete Word Count: 125,766 Kbois has successfully tackled the shifter world and brought us her variation, which introduces us to Kappa and Lambda wolves. What happens when you take six wolves, messed-up families, corrupt council members and just a few bad guys for good measure. Then throw into the mix, Sebastian, Reilly, Ben, Zev, Kellan and Hunters, you have this group of wolves called The Sentinels. Then mix in love, treachery and betrayal and you have the beginnings of one fantastic adventure, where they must deal with missing pups, amongst other surprises that will make you laugh, cry, sad and angry. Of course as with all lycan stories you can throw some hot steamy sex into the mix and as with all Kbois stories plenty of cliffhangers. As MrsGnomie says, you can feel all the emotions in this story.
