Full Exposure is up at Amazon and some of the other vendors, although a couple of vendors are still processing. While I wait for Amazon to price match it to free (don't pay for it! it won't be at 99 cents for long, I hope!), any royalties earned will be donated to The Crib at the Night Ministry in Chicago, a youth homeless shelter whose population is about 80% LGBTQ.

Thank you Armi for the terrific prompt that sparked the idea for this story! I very much enjoyed writing about Riley and Evan. :)

I've not read many 'Don't Read in the Closet' stories, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Plus, if I'm honest, I tend to avoid books less than 100 pages long. That's kind of my random,' I consider this worth my time' length. But AJC posted a teaser of this somewhere and it did its job. It made me want the rest of the story. I'm glad of that because I really quite enjoyed it.

I love that it broke so many stereotypes. The rockstar who wasn't an alpha-Ahole, the sexually versatile Korean MC, the geek who gets the star. Plus, there was diversity in the cast, no unseemly penetration politics, and light D/s that was played instead of lived. Oh, and it was hot without resorting gratuitous sex.

I did think Even felt almost psychic in how he so immediately knew what Riley wanted and needed, unless there were coded clues I missed, there were no hints. The ending also seemed rushed. In fact, the rushing seemed to start with the change in narrative style at almost exactly 50%. But all in all, I had fun with it.

On a side note: I love that cover. I do, it's awesome. But as much time as was spent describing the album cover, I wish that it could have been used. Of course, I understand the reality of the cost of producing an original cover balanced against a freebie story. But a girl can wish.

A nice sweet romance. I was happy to see it building up and crumbling to be built back up. Great characters. Story line was well thought out. Bonus points for the setting in Chicago.

I'm trying to clear out my Kindle and read the too many gay romance/lite porn I've downloaded over the years.

I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy this author's work. This is the 2nd book of hers I've read. This one, like the other, is a fast read full of charming characters and hot guy on guy action. Sign me up for more.

This was a free novella written to a prompt. It had some lovely little moments, but I think having to stick to the year-long estrangement made that section a bit hard to believe. But, overall, I enjoyed it.

his story was way better than I thought it was going to be when I read it. There is real character growth, a love story, and nice hot sex, all within a small amount of pages. I really want to read more from this author. The read was really quick, like 4 hours, maybe - perfect for a nice steamy romance by the fireplace, or beach/poolside, if it is hot where you live.
