Explanation Toward Books Slide (Roads #1)
RAINBOW AWARD WINNER 2014 -- Best Bisexual Debut Don’t look back. Don’t you ever look back… Shy tattoo artist Ash has a troubled past. Years of neglect, drug abuse, and life on the streets have taken their toll, and sometimes it seems the deep, unspoken bond with his lover is the only balm for wounds he doesn’t quite understand. Chicago paramedic Pete is warmth, love, and strength—things Ash never knew he could have, and never even knew he wanted until Pete showed him. But fate is a cruel, cruel mistress, and when nightmares collide with the present, their tentatively built world comes crashing down. Traumatic events in Pete’s work life distance him from home, and he doesn’t realize until it’s too late that Ash has slipped away. Betrayal, secrets, and lies unfold, and when a devastating coincidence takes hold, Pete must fight with all he has to save the love of his life.Rating Epithetical Books Slide (Roads #1)

3.5 starsThe writing is quite lovely, and the characters are well-drawn. The chemistry between Ash and Pete was great. Side note: I loved Pete's job. He's a paramedic. I loved how he was sleep deprived, short tempered after night shifts, and sometimes went to such unbelievably shitty jobs that they stuck in his head for days or weeks. Because sometimes you're coasting along in life, and then the sheer realisation of how fucked up people can be to one another hits you right there in the guts... I5 stars! <3 Intense, heartbreaking and full of hope!I finished this book about a week ago and I was trying to formulate a review ever since. However, I'm unable to transform into word what this book made me feel. It's a rollercoster ride full of mixed emotions and I felt incredibly connected to the main characters. A beautiful piece of work, Garrett Leigh!I can only recommend this story to all m/m romance readers that aren't afraid to take an angsty ride. It's so worth it and I can't wait to
***This is not a series, this is a single novel divided in two volumes.***Last night I dreamt of Ash and Pietro... "For the first time in my life, home was where my heart was, and I'd left my heart in Chicago." Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world... It's hard to get by just upon a smile...I hate reviewing books I love. I hate it, because I don't find the words. Not even in my own language. I hate using the terms "perfect", "awesome" or "wowable". I'm glad I can't say this book is perfect because
This was a frustrating read. There's lots of filler here, a lot of scenes that seemed pointless, that didn't advance the plot but were included just to show the passage of time and to prolong the eventual reveal of Ash's past trauma. I never like books where a momentary lack of communication between the MCs leads to a "big misunderstanding" and that's what this entire book is. Ash is weird and moody and uncommunicative and Pete doesn't want to push him so he lets it go, right up to the moment
This one seems to average out at around 4 stars judging on previous reviews, and I agree with that. 4.25 from me with a big , a very promising start to a new series.There were lots of things I liked in this story....the fact that the author's British for one, woohoo!! I loved Ash as a character, and yes, Mrs Weepy had the tissues out on several occasions for him and what he'd gone through AND what he'd yet to discover about his past. I could have kissed Pete sometimes and then throttled him at
***4.5 Stars***This is probably my most eloquent review ever...Me = wrecked and drained, but happy! I ❤ it!
I take full responsibility for this. I didn't really read the blurb. I saw a slew of my friends have loved it and pounced when the request came through.My mistake.I usually avoid books that center around mental illness but the catch-22 is I love damaged characters triumphing over hardship and finding happiness against all odds. Sometimes I take a chance and it works out fantastic like with Lucky or Rat Park but other times I end up here, feeling badly for not being more circumspect.Slide started
