<— DARK & EDGY M/M ROMANCE ALERT and a few of my fellow book-buddies are LOVING it!!! Or loved it. Er… you know. 😉 There’s lotsa love for this series! LOL!
Kandace: “I read the most amazing book this week, ‘Slide’ by Garrett Leigh. I cannot believe people are not talking about her books more. I started ‘Slide’ and was hooked from the very first page. As soon as I finished it, I immediately dived straight in to the second book (Rare). I realize M/M is not for everyone but this is book is so amazing and beautiful. The first book is a standalone but there is so much more of their story to be told. This is more than a story about two men! … I loved watching their relationship progress and at times fall apart. I could go on & on about this book. I highly recommend everyone read Slide! 10 STARS for me! There was just something about it that I connected hard with. I will never forget them.”
Lisa: Oh! Don’t forget Slide and Rare by Garrett Leigh! Wonderful story about Ash and Pete (m/m, mental illness, drug addiction) but a beautiful story. Highly recommend!
Kandace: …Ash is so messed up. It’s a dark edge read. My favorite MM books of 2014. If you liked Varian’s books I think you would like Garret’s Slide series too…
About book #1:
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.

I read Slide and Rare and they are really good. Intensely romantic and the subject of mental illness and addiction is treated with dignity and knowledge.
These sound awesome, Teri… thank you for your feedback on them! 😀
CALLING FABI – hello Fabi – this sounds like it was written for Fabi – don’t you think?
Michelle I think Fabi is the one who recommednded it when I read it!
I had no comments from Fabi on this one.. (in the past). At least not that I could find. I don’t think Fabi has read this one…
Hmm. Then she definitely needs to check it out. 🙂
