Book Review: "Rebound Remedy" by Christine d'Abo

Rebound Remedy by Christine d'Abo

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


First Cole is on his way to a romantic trip for the holidays with his boyfriend. While in the airport, the boyfriend's ex shows up and PROPOSES. And Cole's boyfriend ACCEPTS. Talk about being dumped and in one of the most awful ways.

After Cole heads home and as Christmas draws closer, Cole decides to get outside and get some air. So he heads down to his favorite bar McGregor's for a beer and some socialization.

Owen Mcgregor, the owner of the bar, notices Cole and can tell something is wrong. So he proposes that he and Cole engage in some fun activities in the twelve days leading up till Christmas in order to cheer Cole up. With Cole still feeling the reeling pain from being dumped and Owen wanting to be a friend to Cole, even though he's attracted to him, the two embark on an extremely romantic journey.

Overall, the book is close to perfect. As in perfectly sweet. Cole and Owen are really adorable together. I picture Owen as more of the flannel wearing, rugged type and I picture Cole as more of the "wouldn't be caught dead in skinny jeans but fashionable" type.

I loved both characters. They're written with a ton of honestly. As in, this is something that could really happen. It wouldn't happen in the short time frame of 12 days but it could definitely happen in real life.

There's a surprise visit in the story and decisions need to be made. But which one has to choose and which direction will he go? That's part of the fun of this book.

If you're in the mood to read a sweet, romantic book over the holidays to get you into the spirit, then THIS book will do that for you. It's a definite four stars, don't miss this story, type of book.

Enjoy!!!!!

Reblog: "I SOMETIMES HATE THE LGBT COMMUNITY. AND I’M A MEMBER." by Amanda Kerry

"Recently, huge fights have spawned between different camps within the LGBT community. The fights are born around the use of certain words, different roles, opinions, outlooks, philosophies of life as an LGBT person, and quite simply wounded egos.

And I have had just about enough of the bullshit."

14 Reasons Why It’s Not Okay to Out Someone as Trans – A Public Service Announcement From Your Friendly, Neighborhood Trans Person

“Reblogged from AmericanTransMan”

"Recently, a well-meaning friend of mine disclosed my trans status to a friend of his, someone I hadn’t known previously. I don’t know that I ever would have found out that he had done so if his friend hadn’t slipped up and referred to me as “she” in front of a group of people.

He quickly corrected himself and moved on with whatever he had been saying, but for me, the damage had been done.

That one little pronoun ripped away my confidence and left me stunned and confused. Although it still happens once in a while, being seen as female has been a rare occurrence for me over the past six months, so I asked myself why this person whom I had just met would confuse me with a woman? Was it obvious that I was trans? Was I kidding myself, walking around in the world thinking that I no longer appeared female to most people?"
