Bay City Paranormal Investigations #6
Where The Heart Is
Falling in love is easy. Holding on to it can tear your life apart.
A Bay City Paranormal Investigations story.
When Dean Delapore takes a break from Bay City Paranormal Investigations, he doesn’t expect his work to follow him to the eclectic town of Carrboro, North Carolina. The chance to investigate a haunting at the Blue Skye Inn and Winery is more than he can resist, mainly because of the inn’s owner. Deceptively shy and gorgeous, Sommer Skye is not only fantastic company, he’s the best lay Dean’s had in ages.
As Dean probes the misty secrets of the haunted inn, he unexpectedly peels away the layers hiding Sommer’s private pain. Pain Sommer’s not sure he can withstand. By the time Dean realizes just how deep his feelings for the innkeeper run, it’s far too late to turn back.
Now if only he can convince Sommer that falling in love changes everything, maybe for the better. If the bones of the past can be laid to rest…

I won't get to much into this one because there have been so many great reviews written about it by my friends here. I will say I loved it and would rate it higher than 5 stars if I could. The storyline and chemistry between Dean and Sommer lept off of the pages and kept me interested until late in the night.
The only thing I would have liked different is, I would liked to have read Sommers point of view. Although, it is NOT in first person (thank goodness) it is written all with Dean's perspective. I really would have loved to see what was going on in Sommer's mind, too.
I liked Dean but I loved Sommer. In some ways he reminds me of Hell of Heaven Sent. Like Hell, he is sweet and somewhat angelically shy to the outside world, to Dean he was sexy, sexually aggressive and for no other better word an Imp, just like Hell. I LOVED HIM!

My opinion of this book is kind of confusing, at least for me. I really enjoyed it, primarily just because I love Ally Blue's writing. Her style and her characters are always great. (She's always good at secondary characters which I feel like a lot of m/m writers skimp on - Ron and Kerry were awesome!) But for some reason I just wasn't feeling the connection between the two leads for most of the book, until the very end. The end was very sweet.
I really don't know why. The story was well written, the sex was hot. I just wasn't feeling it. I do think I would have liked to get to know Sommer better, maybe that was the problem. I probably would have given it 3.5 stars except the end bumped it up to four.
Warning to some, plug for others: Contains a fisting scene! It was the first one I've come across in my m/m adventures and I decided I liked it. ;)

My fav BCP book yet! Of course, that might be because I absolutely adore Dean. *g* I loved the pacing in this one and the intensity of the relationship between Sommer and Dean. I was a wee bit worried about how it was going to end, but trust Ms. Blue. She knows how to do it right. :D

Loved it, I have always liked Dean and this book just makes me love him even more! Also, who could not like the sexy Inn owner, Sommer Skye.

OMG Dean I am so happy you finally found someone!!! I loved Sommer he was such a sweetheart. The only thing I would have liked answered was, where was his Dad?

This was an ok story. I enjoyed it but it didn’t wow me. I really liked the mystery of the apparition; this could have been a really good ghost story if more attention was paid to that part of the plot. While the main plot line was a romance between Dean and Sommer, the long sex scenes and Dean’s constant thoughts of sex, were more of a distraction than anything. And the whole fisting scene just felt out of place.
The story didn’t give much page time to a lot of supporting characters; mostly Dean’s friends, Ron and his wife Kerry. I liked Ron, very laid back and calm. Kerry, eh, not so much. She was a bit too overbearing and intrusive. Her behavior was explained briefly by what happened to her sister, but to me, that didn’t justify anything.
There appeared to be a few inconsistencies in the storyline such as in the first sex scene, Dean is evidently going commando but a few pages later, he’s dropping his underwear. There were other instances, mostly timeline issues, but they didn’t affect the story.
While Dean and Sommer appear to get their HEA, it would have been nice if there was an epilogue.

I didn't like this book. It was full of clichés and sappy romance when I think the storyline needed more horror and action. I was so relieved when it ended, I don't think I could have gone on much longer.

disappointing
I’m a little disappointed in this book. I was hoping to have Sam and Bo and all the rest of the BCPI and more portals. I like Dean but the whole reason I kept reading Is cause of Sam and Bo and Sam’s abilities

Where the Heart Is follows Dean Delapore, one of the characters in the Bay city Paranormal Investigations series. In this spinoff, we follow Dean as he visits his college friends in Carrboro, North Carolina. On his first day, he and his friend go to a local coffee join and fate steps plays her cards in the form of Sommer Skye, a handsome man with shoulder-length red hair and a body that bulges and curves in all the right places. A self-proclaimed easy lay, Dean immediately sets his sights on Sommer as a pleasant extracurricular activity partner while visiting his friends.
Very quickly, he is drawn into a paranormal investigation of his own. Blue Skye Inn and Winery, once owned and run by Sommer’s parents who have mysteriously disappeared, is haunted. As Dean investigates the inn, he also faces demons of his own; demons of the emotional kind which are just as powerful and destructive.
Throughout the story, dean struggles with his desire to find love and his fear of opening up to the pain of being rejected. The tension in the investigation rises in tandem with the rising tension within Dean and Sommer. When events lead to a shocking discovery, both men are rocked to their core, struggling to hold themselves together. The question resonating throughout is: can they allow themselves to take the risk of opening up to happiness, and potential devastation?
As usual, Ally Blue delivers a story in which the action flies, pages turning fast and furious as the story rages forward until the ending. The sex is far more exploratory and extreme in this book than in the Bay City series. Each encounter searing hot and deliciously written, leaving no nerve ending or emotion untouched. She also delivers paranormal activity in a believable manner, seamlessly maintaining her world where supernatural events do in fact occur and making the ability for her readers to suspend their belief easy and fluid.
Unlike in her other works where the relationship between the characters develops organically and the tensions arise in entirely believable ways, Dean and Sommer’s relationship feels a bit forced. As I read, I felt I was following Dean’s struggle to allow himself to love, rather than following the two men and their developing relationship. The issue that drives a wedge between them seems to be a bit unrealistic in that Sommer’s reaction is a bit extreme. Once can understand why he reacts the way he does, but his lack of action after his initial anger doesn’t ring true. The ending also seemed to wrap up all of the loose ends a bit too nicely.
All in all, this is a pleasant read, but does not measure up to the level of emotional impact as many of Ms. Blue’s other works. However, her style, humor, and narrative, remain of the high quality. I think I was spoiled by reading several of her other works before reading this book.

I’ve been waiting for this story since I read the first BCPI book
Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.
Rating: 7/10
PROS:
- It’s about Dean! Yay! I’ve been a pretty big fan of Dean’s ever since BCPI Book 2, What Hides Inside. And it was about halfway through Book 3 that I started wishing Dean could have his own happily ever after. And now here it is. Sigh.
- I found the sex pretty hot…more so than in the other BCPI books. Dean and Sommer are both out, for one thing, so there’s not as much timidity with regard to displays of affection. And Sommer is just a hint on the dominant side and Dean just a hint on the submissive side, which I’ve discovered I think is rather sexy. (see cons below also)
- The plot isn’t just absolutely fantastic and hair-raising and breathless, nor is it terribly involved, but I did enjoy reading about a paranormal investigation that had something other than interdimensional portals at its center. (I know, I know…I harp on this.)
CONS:
- The guys sleep with each other the same night they meet, which I’m never a huge fan of. I’m all for emotional, loving sex rather than the hormone-driven, back-scratching kind, and much of the sex in this book is the latter. (We do see Dean starting to fall for Sommer pretty much right off the bat, though, which lends a degree of emotional intimacy to the sex scenes.) Sommer also says something before they sleep together for the first time that led me to believe something would happen in their sexual relationship before the story ended, but that thing never DID happen.
- There’s a period of angst that’s just long enough that it made me a little anxious but wasn’t long enough that I became really uncomfortable. I do think that the wronged guy forgives his lover a little too easily/quickly, though.
- I thought the ending was just a little disappointing. The grand gesture made by one of the guys is touching, and they’re together at the end and everything, but there’s no frantic “I’m so glad we’re together and I must make love to you (or even just REALLY kiss you) now” scene. The final scene is very…controlled.
Overall comments: This might be just sort of an okay story if you’re not already familiar with the character of Dean from Blue’s Bay City Paranormal series. I was hard-pressed not to like this book because a) Dean’s the star of this one, and b) he and Sommer are sweet together and have a decent amount of pretty hot sex.

Read
May 18, 2009Where the Heart is a spin off of the main series Bay City Paranormal Investigation; the main series is the story of Bo and Sam and it has five books all about them, but if you haven't read them, no problem, this last book is loosely connected and you can read it as stand alone.
Dean Delapore is Bo and Sam's colleague, a bisexual man that believes in forever love but has no problem to enjoy also a for now fling. And so, when he is visiting a couple of friends in a charming small town USA, and spot an interesting young man, Sommer, he is all for an enjoyable short adventure. Dean has no problem to admit when he sees a very handsome man, cute and pretty, but probably at first, he doesn't believe that Sommer could be something else other than a fling: Sommer is shy and cute and Dean prefers his men to be a bit forceful.
But Dean is on for a surprise: even if in public Sommer is all bushes and not direct glances, in private he is a total top; he likes to order around and Dean likes to be ordered. Plus Sommer has also another merit: he owns an haunted house, and for a paranormal investigator, this is too much of a bait. What started like a nice fling is becoming more and more an important story, and neither Dean or Sommer are sure to be ready for that.
I like this last chapter in the series since it's more romance than drama; the paranormal sub-plot is nice but not too creepy, the paranormal investigation evolves in a nice way without too much angst, and it ends in a rather tender way. What emerges more of the story is Dean and Sommer's relationship, it's rather interesting to see apparently shy Sommer turns in an almost sex slaver, with Dean playing the role of his willing toy boy.
There are also two nice supporting characters, Kerry and Ron, the couple Dean went to visit, and I liked very much Kerry's reaction when she realized that Sommer practically kidnapped her friend, who was expected to visit HER and paid the due respect to her mum in waiting status: she is jealous and she has no problem to express her feeling, but then she is pregnant, and no one can argue with her.

The writing is good, the characterizations fun--I really enjoyed the relationship Dean has with his friends, it rang very true for me--and overall it's a good story. Sommer's denial of the possible source of the haunting was realistic, but heartbreaking more for Dean's behalf than his. I did not expect the ending, I hoped for something like it, but the actual execution was not what I was expecting. I liked it but would probably give it a 2.5 because of the relationship Dean strikes up with Sommer.
SPOILERS--it's all spoilers and complaints from here
I wanted a Dean book, I did, and I wanted a happily-ever-after for him, or at least a chance for it, but this was a case of be careful what you wish for. Were there hints that Dean was submissive? He seems pretty aggressive and dominant in his interactions. I know he's a bottom but that's not the same thing as submissive. And capping? On like the 3rd day you know someone? The descriptions reiterated how hot Dean found it in such a way that I found myself wondering who the author was trying to convince, me or her. Until it went there, I was pretty okay with the toppy Sommer "instinctively" knowing just how to talk to and treat Dean to turn him on the most, without any discussion or false starts. But on such short acquaintance, I found myself calling bullshit. And leaving the cap in after they'd broken up? Really? No. Just, no.

I like that they know it's unsafe to ingest someone else's semen and that they refuse to have sec without condoms even though they trust each other in other ways.
I like that it's said that coming at the same time with someone else isn't common.
Cool that the 6 month pregnant woman says she can do housework, that's pregnant not an invalid. How does Dean have underwear when he didn't have any the night before?
Skipped a day or two. Guests were coming the next afternoon but be evening enough staff could get there so he could go to dinner. After dinner, they spent the night and he had to call Kerry to let her know. Now they're investigating and it's night and Dean thinks about how he had spent last night and gone home in the morning. But now guests aren't coming into the next afternoon.
It's odd that Ron didn't go with Kerry to the doctor appointment for the baby.
How can a man have an orgasm with a penis plug in? What happens to the semen?
Sommer never apologized. He said he shouldn't have done that but he never apologized.
Some of the guests would have stayed. I would have.
Oh god, fisting is so dangerous. So are enemas if done at all often.
Way too much sex but there certainly was variety.
Cool that the DNA tests are taking weeks.
I hate that the mystery of his father is never solved.
Very romantic.

I liked this book. The mystery was a little weak and like some of the previous books, you don't quite get all the answers. But clearly this book is not really about the paranormal mystery. It is about Dean and Sommer. Dean goes to visit his two friends from college, who are pretty familiar. Their characters seem kind of like David and Amy from previous books. And if you all will recall, I really didn't like Amy. So I was glad the least amount of time he spent with Kerry.
There are no big surprises in this book. You pretty much can figure out who is causing the haunting right away. And you know in general what will happen between Sommer and Dean. Maybe not the specifics but you know Be warned the sex is a little kinked in this book, more so than in previous ones. Overall not bad.

What can I say about Ally Blue! If you are looking for some socially relevent material, or politically charged writing, you are seraching in the wrong place! I LOVE ALLY BLUE! If you want nothing more than a quick read full of sex and mystery and thrills that you don't have to labor over - she is your author. Her books are rarely very long, but she packs quite a punch! you immediately are drawn into her characters and taht is what makes reading her books so fun. I have rarely spent more than a couple of days with her books. It sounds strange, but I like to read her books inbetween bigger more complex novels, sort of like clearing your pallette before tasting the next item. Do Not Get Me Wrong, I am not trivializing her writing, in fact I am celebrating the fact that she writes exactly what her readers want to read, nothing more nothing less.

It was an ok read, but more a standard love story. The mystery/ghost part was redundant for the story, and not very well done imho. The MCs were both nice enough to read, but it somehow didn't move me and was quite chliched.
There was a lot of detailled bedroom scenes, but somehow I felt that I knew all the moves from the other books already. There is one scene at the end that goes beyond what you normally read in anything that is not specified as porn (and special porn at that)
Not sure what that should add to the story, but ok. For me the series about Bay City paranormal investigations ends here - I skipped the 4 books in the middle, and will not pick up the any others.

OMG! I couldn't wait to hear Dean's story. I was jumping with joy when I read that this was Dean's story. I still do have complaint though. Why did it take so long?! He was one guy who never irritated me. Like all the good stories' characters you can see a certain amount of pig-headedness in the characters. But here the paranormal side of the story wasn't as dark as the previous books. This book is all about emotions, baby! I loved Sommer and his effect on Dean along with Dean's effect on him. I would have liked to see more if this couple and their interactions with the BCPI members. Whatever the author gave was good but I wanted more!
April 8, 2016
3.5 stars
This one really bummed me out. It was ridiculously hot, kinky, emotional, interesting until about 80%. At that point it felt like the author just gave up. The MCs had a weird fight which was never really resolved then Sommer fisted Dean, Dean left, Sommer followed him, "I love yous" were exchanged and then it ended. Fucking weird. I don't know how else to describe it.
I'm so disappointed! This one was 5 stars until 80%. The last 20% was a disaster. If you just want hot, kinky sex and don't care about a messy ending, I can recommend this one. If you have a long pet-peeve list, I'd skip this one. *shrugs*

really this is more like 2.5. this is nothing in comparison to the rest of the series. I found it more like porn with plot and the was weak.
My main problems:
1.
2.
I just started skimming the sex scenes as I got bored. The next book is just so much better than this one!

I truly enjoyed this sixth book in the BCPI series. I have been waiting a long time for Dean's story, and it didn't disappoint me. I only have two complaints--one is that a small part of the mystery was left unsolved. I won't go into detail about that because I don't want to give away too much. The other complaint is about the overuse of the word "Y'all." I am a southern girl who loves that word, but all southerners know that we don't use it in practically every sentence. That got to be a bit annoying.
Warning: There was one "ouch" moment in a sex scene near the end.
All in all, this book is a keeper.

Finally readers get to see what's behind the charming and outgoing Dean Delapore, and I, for one, was not disappointed. Dean has a fragile side hidden behind his chase any tail that wiggles by attitude; he wants to fall in love, but it frightens him at the same time.
When he visits some friends out of state he not only meets a sexy man, but this sexy man has a ghost that Dean can't help but offer to investigate.
Between steamy hawt sex, a ghostly mystery, and seeing a new but perfectly appropriate side of Dean, this was a great addition to the BCPI series.

I was lucky to win this book on Goodreads and Thank you to Ms Ally Blue for the opportunity to read this book M/M Erotic Love Story. I do not read this type book but was very excited to learn I won the drawing I entered for this book. I wanted a good Paranormal story with some Male love and boy did I get it! This book had me constantly aroused by Dean and Sommer and the scenes played out behind doors. Very well written story line and worth the read especially if you are open minded with M/M events.

Dean gets his story! Although this is part of the BCPI series, it can be read on its own because it focuses on Dean and Sommer. Liked this story because I always found Dean to be a fun character, and it was nice to see him with his story told and falling in love. It was also nice to see a change of pace with a "regular" ghost story being told. There is still just the right amount of angst, though, to make you wonder if everything will end happily or not. Fantastic story.

This book is one of my favourites, edpecially due to the focus on Dean, a character who simply deserved his own storyline! There is just so much sexual tension between him and Sommer, which makes the sexual scenes unbelievably hot. The one with fisting actually convinced me that this technique might be something sexy. Other than that, the book is well written and balanced, I liked the investigation and the ending was just too good;D

The plot was a bit weaker than the other books and this book was really just more focus on Dean and Sommer's sex life. There's nothing wrong with it, just not what I was expecting for Dean's story. The one fight between Dean and Sommer was also a bit weak and I found myself just wishing Dean would make Sommer grovel for being a bit cruel when faced with the truth about who the ghost was.

April 29, 2012I'm having a really hard time just getting through this book. I'm on page 155 and am now looking for something else to read. The dialogue is a bit juvenile and filled with the typical romance book lines like "it feels so right" blah blah. Other than the sexual situations, the characters don't really feel like men to me. I commonly find this problem in Gay romance novels written by women.

I received this book from Goodreads First Read Giveaway. The story is easy to read and the romance between Dean and Sommer works well and clicks from the first. The paranormal aspect of ghost hunting was good, but the end was left a bit hanging. This is a series that can be easily become a favorite.

Ok, Spoilers alert!! This made me laugh by the end, even though it was very sad. But while they were doing it in the bedroom, the ghost sometimes watched them. By the end of book you find out the ghost was the owner's mom. I am not the only one that's kinda laughing at this and wondering why the mom was watching them.
