⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5
Riding High by @jrthomasauthor.bsky.social in Orlando is a cute, sexy, and hopeful gay romance I raced through. Luke & Brett’s chemistry is electric, the twist is wild but fun, and seeing Jaxon & Marty (and their Star Trek: TNG love!) again was a joy. A warm, feel-good sequel. #BookReview

It's always a fun afternoon. It’s in Old Louisville, which is predominantly Victorian mansions and big trees. Very cool place to walk around and look at stuff. My favorite part is the un-Fair, though. It's a couple of blocks away behind a bar. That's where the really cool, odd, filthy art is. 😄

My boyfriend finally started reading Catching Up in Cancun. Now he's convinced that the character Marty is based on him. He's not, except for the embarrassing parts. 😂

I wouldn't turn either of em away. But Henry is hotter as The Witcher, imo. That was HIS role. So sad when he left.
