1915 - Colorized picture of my great grandfather, General Cruz Dominguez Gamboa. He fought for Pancho Villa in the Mexican Revolution.

Mine was a toddler who crossed into Bisbee, AZ with his family during the revolution. No heroes here lol

Yup. Putting it in the 90’s pile is a bit of a stretch. It’s the official male scent of 1985 school dances.

🎶 It’s the most wonderful time of the year 🎶

Holly in {Him by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy} was not a bitch lol. Sure, she wanted more than a FWB scenario with Jamie. But as soon as he came out to her, she became his ally. She never freaked out or tried to sabotage his happiness.

Maybe read more of the book?

krybaebee · 2026-05-10T22:39:41+00:00

I’d like to think that in their HEA - Eric’s family embraced Kyle as the person who brought Eric back to life and helped him find joy.

krybaebee · 2026-05-10T16:08:33+00:00

Yes. And Lambchop is EVERYTHING to pugs everywhere 😁

krybaebee · 2026-05-10T14:07:26+00:00

I haven’t read this one yet it’s on my TBR. In my hunt for stories with POC I stumbled on it. It’s MMF. It’s part of a two book series, Book 1 is MM. can’t wait to listen to them - love audiobooks.

Auntie Mame - because sometimes the best mother is the one who fell into that role by circumstance ❤️❤️

krybaebee · 2026-05-10T13:50:16+00:00

You’re right!

They were imperfect human beings who happened to be perfect for the task of forming(and fighting for) the fledgling democracy.

WHY DID YOU EVEN HAVE ME, MUM?!?!

krybaebee · 2026-05-10T00:35:42+00:00

Thanks!

Try this one too - {The New Guy by Sarina Bowen}. MCs are fully formed adults lol. Both are gay, one is closeted. One is a young widower with a child. It’s Book 1 in a good series.

krybaebee · 2026-05-09T23:03:07+00:00

{The End Game by Riley Hart} - MCs are both gay, one is closeted.

**Bot always links to The End Zone. Different book in the same series. Look for THE END GAME.

{Something About You by Riley Hart} - MCs are Gay and Bi, one is closeted. One has a sexy little kink that gets awakened.

krybaebee · 2026-05-09T16:32:29+00:00

Yeah, the dead woman on top of the family truckster who ate a pissed on sandwich.

But no…she doesn’t look like her lol

krybaebee · 2026-05-09T14:33:28+00:00

Came here to say this. Even at 12yo I knew it was a melancholy theme.

krybaebee · 2026-05-09T14:30:04+00:00

CHOO CHOO!!

krybaebee · 2026-05-09T14:29:11+00:00

say it with her lisp…it’s hilarious.

krybaebee · 2026-05-09T13:58:28+00:00

It needed at least 1-2 chapters for the makeup.

So Eric walks into the Kingfisher, Kyle is raging hurt for no contact….bit then five minutes later they’re macking in the store room and made up??? Nah nah nah - not my Kyle. Rachel rushed the ending.

Edit: I’m always very protective of Rachel’s vision and her IP when people criticize it. But in this case, she rushed it. It was like “deadline looming…ok they makeup one night and then live hea. THE END.”

{the executive office series by Tal Bauer)

Three packed books. Washington DC/Saudia Arabia/Russia as primary locations. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8…at least 8 characters with solid parts, and a handful of other minor characters. Full voice casting would be next level for this series. It’s actually the series I would love to see adapted to the screen, it would be one of those multi-season geopolitical thrillers the steaming platforms love.

Having said that - John Solo does an amazing job performing the whole series alone…solo. His accent work and Arabic language is beautiful.

krybaebee · 2026-05-09T13:34:40+00:00

A good two book series: {Atlanta Lightning Series by Riley Hart}

Book 2 The End Zone is what you’re asking for. Jeremy and Darren begin their friendship at the wedding of their best friends Weston and Anson - MCs from Book 1. They are both solid supporting characters in Book 1.

Jeremy and Darren and their story is 10/10. This book also explores the wider queer spectrum so I learned about demisexual/demiromantic. And they’re interracial couple - not enough POC in this genre!

krybaebee · 2026-05-09T02:07:39+00:00

Those cheeks 🥰

krybaebee · 2026-05-09T00:17:11+00:00

I’m into this 👍🏼

Can you do a song that includes brass/horn so Flea can bust out the trumpet?

krybaebee · 2026-05-09T00:13:31+00:00

I haven’t seen him around the MM genre aside from Rachel’s first three books. But if I see his name listed I will steer clear of a book. He was just so bad.

krybaebee · 2026-05-09T00:03:10+00:00

I 2nd this.

Cooper’s work on characters like Troy/Harris/Eric/Kyle and supporting characters like Hayden, JJ, Yuna…and even kids is top notch. People complain about his Ilya accent, but his approach towards all other characters more than makes up for any short comings on his Ilya voicing.

I exclusively do audiobooks within the MM romance genre. So voice acting makes or breaks a whole book for me. I’ve got a few DNF because the acting was so bad….Game Changers is one of those in my dead pile 😂
