And maybe the way I’m starting to feel about the guy I’ve been anonymously chatting with online should concern me.īut CaulkyAF doesn’t want to meet, and Cole doesn’t want anything serious, so what’s the worst that could happen?Ĭaulky is book 1 in the Four Bears Construction series and can be read as a stand-alone. Okay, maybe meeting up with my hot contractor weekly is a little more than occasional. The last thing I want is another relationship or another broken heart.Īll I need are my bees and the occasional hookup to scratch the itch. Lucky for him, the smoking hot contractor he hired has just the tool for the job. Synopsis via GoodReads: Ren is in desperate need of a rebound fling.

She was a little too "I'm so shy and nerdy, and I don't realize I'm beautiful because I'm such a nerd!" if ya know what I mean. The female main character was not my favorite. Unfortunately, the couple was super insta-love, which is not my favorite trope, and they were both about to cum in their pants (literally) just after making eye contact the first time they met in a coffee shop.

It's loosely based on the 80s classic movie, Sixteen Candles (one of my favorite romcoms), which I thought was truly unique. This was a quick steamy contemporary romance that I liked. Ito's universe is also very cruel and capricious his characters often find themselves victims of malevolent unnatural circumstances for no discernible reason or punished out of proportion for minor infractions against an unknown and incomprehensible natural order.

Born in Gifu Prefecture in 1963, he was inspired from a young age by his older sister's drawing and Kazuo Umezu's comics and thus took an interest in drawing horror comics himself. His sometimes daring transgressions of conventional genre boundaries marked him from the first as a natural (and muscular) user of Equipoisal devices and assumptions indeed, he had regarded his first (and still most famous single) tale as a simple terror story but, on finding it praised as sf – it tells in affecting pidgin English of a terrifying Mutant child and of his break towards a kind of freedom (see Children in SF) – decided to cash in on the then-current sf boom, including most of his best early work in Born of Man and Woman: Tales of Science Fiction and Fantasy (coll 1954 with four stories cut vt Third from the Sun 1955), which was marketed as sf. (1926-2013) US screenwriter and author, initially thought of as primarily an sf writer, having begun to publish work of genre interest with "Born of Man and Woman" for The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Summer 1950 he was a creator of terror and fantasy in both fiction and film his Westerns, however, are mostly nonfantastic.
