Ami's Reviews > On Board

This is my least favorite of Hogan's books that I have read so far. I think it is because I cannot suspend my disbelief about the whole Madden family being either gay (Judah, the youngest son, who is the main character for Off Balance) and bisexual (Cora, the mother, and now Leroy the older son). AND Leroy's love interest is Fox Carmody, who is also the son of Cora's current girlfriend. Yes... a bit too much coincidental situation for me to take.

In addition - this story is written from both Leroy's and Fox's perspective - while I loved Leroy's voice because grumpy prickly characters always won my heart, and I was so invested in him finding out how to deal with feelings... BUT, Leroy feels like a totally different person when he is written from Fox's 'chapters'. So much so that I WISH I don't need to read the Fox's chapters at all.

Those two things disrupt my reading pleasure, sadly.

But, Leroy's relationship with his brother, Judah, is deliciously complicated and I loved those moments so much. AND... I admit I'm still intrigued with Kane's book (his book will be the next one in this series). So yes, I look forward for that one.
