Fran | 12286 comments For our July m/m buddy read we will be reading The Once and Future Love The Once and Future Love by Ari McKay .

Anthony Davis, A-list Hollywood star, is adored by millions for his talent and striking good looks. Approaching fifty and feeling the pressure of competing with younger stars, he realizes that despite all he's achieved, he's alone and lonely. Then Anthony encounters Rob Harrison, who tutored him in college, at a fundraiser. Despite the chemistry between them back then, Anthony chose his career over love, and he recognizes the mistake he made at last. As he leaves the fundraiser, he glimpses a shooting star and makes a hopeless wish... asking for another chance with Rob.


This story also works for 7. July 2 – World UFO Day in the July Monthly Challenge! Sci-Fi/Fantasy

MountainKat | 31943 comments I read this one today, different sort of second chance romance. I liked it, it was good but not great for me.

MountainKat | 31943 comments Any ideas for the next couple of months? I think the only things on my radar are in series so not good options. I'm open to just about anything. I'll go look through the list we came up with before to see if there was one I was more interested in.

MountainKat | 31943 comments It looks like Masters & Boyd was one several of us were interested in. There were a whole bunch more listed and any of them sound good to me too. Here is the discussion with the books listed:

~KarenH~ | 11388 comments Masters & Boyd sounds great to me, I've had it on my radar for a long time. I'm happy with whatever everyone else wants for the other pick...I'm still brain-dead enough that suggestions are beyond me right now! =P

Fran | 12286 comments I'm good with Masters & Boyd for August :)


I stil need to get to this month's book!

Fran | 12286 comments What about Encore (Blue Notes, #5) by Shira Anthony ? They are all stand alones in a series and I think none of us has read it. Or the one before it?

Fran | 12286 comments I have both Prelude (Blue Notes, #4) by Shira Anthony and Encore (Blue Notes, #5) by Shira Anthony on my kindle.


*edit- I don't have Prelude. I really thought I did. I must be losing it.

MountainKat | 31943 comments I'm not quite there yet, but I can catch up easily if we do that for September! And I have been looking for a reason to read the next book anyway, so this could be it for me! =)

So do Masters & Boyd for August and Encore for September?

~KarenH~ | 11388 comments I don't really consider the Blue Notes books totally stand-alone because they do have some major character crossovers in some of the books, but they REALLY don't need to be read in order...in fact, the order the books were written (and are numbered) is not the chronological order. I would have no problem reading them out of order, and I'm generally more than a little obsessive about that. In fact, if I'd known before I started the series, I would have read them in a different order on purpose! =P Chronologically, Encore is the first book, so I'd be happy to read it next, even though I'm not that far in the series.

MountainKat | 31943 comments Yeah, I agree with you Karen! I would have read it chronologically too!

Fran | 12286 comments Great!
So M&B for August and Encore for September :)

Fran | 12286 comments I'm sorry I didn't get to this one in July!

The whole month kind of got away from me. August is also a bit crazy for me, but I am really going to try and get to that buddy read :)
