eBook Review: Tap Out by Cat Grant

By

Tap OutTap Out is the third book in the Bannon’s Gym series from Cat Grant. I read and very much enjoyed the first two, so looked forward to seeing what was in store for the characters next.

While the switching POVs can be a little confusing, this book mainly tells the tale of Tom and Aaron, with lots of crossover between the two as their lives become intertwined. Without giving too much away, the storyline covers Aaron and his continuing struggle with injury and drugs, and Tom as he tries to get past his mother’s suicide and move on with his life. But, naturally, life isn’t simple and it throws plenty of curveballs at the characters, and what makes this such a good read is seeing how they cope and how relationships are made and broken by this.

Overall, this is another gritty read from Cat Grant, with some very emotional parts, as well as hot sex scenes. A good ending to an intriguing series – definitely recommended for those who like their M/M erotic romance laden with angst!

eBook Review: Takedown (Bannon’s Gym Book 2) by Cat Grant

By

TakedownTakedown is book two in Cat Grant’s popular Bannon’s Gym series. I read and enjoyed book one, Black Dog, and already have the third title lined up on my Kindle. This is a great series for fans of M/M, especially if they like plenty of angst, real life drama and an overdose of testosterone.

This book takes place a couple of years after the events of book one. Tom Delaney is back in Lincoln Beach to settle some family business. Almost immediately, the bad memories begin to haunt him, and he can’t wait to get back out of town. But some of his good memories, and the people that helped him make them, encourage him to stick around.

But, as always, life is never simple, and when Tom ends up back in bed with his ex, an already complicated situation becomes much, much worse. Will Tom cut and run, or is he strong enough to overcome his past in order to secure his future?

Packed full of fighting – both in and out of the ring – family feuds, troublesome ex-lovers and lots more, this is another edge-of-your-seat read from Cat Grant. Add in a healthy dollop of super hot sex and you have yourself a real page turner. I’m looking forward to what’s next.

eBook Review: Black Dog (Bannon’s Gym) by Cat Grant

By

Black DogBlack Dog is book one in Cat Grant’s Bannon’s Gym series, and based on this, I’ll definitely be checking out the rest of the books. This is gay erotic romance with some serious testosterone – and I’m not just talking about in the bedroom.

This book tells the story of Danny Bannon and Eddie Roscoe – two guys with an on-off relationship, a whole lot of baggage and plenty of stubbornness.

Their apparent stalemate is shaken up by the arrival of Tom Delaney, a teenager that Eddie finds living on the streets. Eddie, unwilling to let the kid carry on living that way, takes him in, gives him a job and a chance at a better life.

Tom gravitates towards Danny’s gym and shows himself to be a more than competent fighter, both boxing and martial arts. It seems to be an outlet for his anger, his resentment at his past, and Danny and Eddie seem to bond over looking after the neglected teenager, becoming stand in big brothers.

However, Tom’s past suddenly comes rushing back to him, and he doesn’t deal with it too well – can Danny and Eddie present a united front to help prevent Tom from crashing and burning?

This is an intriguing story and an easy read, despite some of the more heart-rending elements of the storyline. I found Grant’s writing style to be engaging, the plotting unique and very real, with some surprises, and the ending satisfying. I’ll definitely be checking out more of Grant’s work, starting with the next books in this series. I’d recommend this to gay romance fans – the heat level isn’t high, but the focus of this book is the storyline, not the sex.
