This story gives us two older main characters Danny and Eddie who have a shared history and a previous somewhat closeted relationship They are estranged from each other but begin to get closer to each other when Eddie gives Tom a young runaway a job Tom is interested in martial arts and boxing and starts training at Danny s gym Eddie who is a retired boxer reluctantly agrees to coach Tom at the gym and the stalemate between Eddie and Danny eventually comes to an end The two men find themselves drawn to one another once again as they work together to train and support Tom through some tragic circumstances. Black dog pdf The story is told from the perspective of all three men I enjoyed the fact that the main characters are older men but I found the story a bit difficult to follow at times mostly because of the parts told from Tom s perspective I felt that Tom was given too much focus and this watered down the romance I wanted to focus a lot on the dynamics and history between Danny and Eddie I felt there was a long story there and a rich history between the two which could have been given focus. Black dog books and records There was a strong anti Roman Catholic feeling in this story Eddie had trained for the priesthood in his past but then joined the marines instead This is interesting but we aren t given any story about this and what might have happened to support the anti RC feelings which come across in the book The reader is left with the religion is bad trope which does get overused in the mm genre In the end I felt the story was good and this is why I have given it four stars but at the same time it isn t one of my favourites from this author It felt as if there was a lot going on under the surface which wasn t yet being told Hopefully since this is a series we might get to explore some of this in future books I think as a first book in the series there is enough here for me to want to read the next one and i did enjoy the story.

Book black dog 5 starsBlack Dog takes place in a small California coastal town and is divided between Bannon s sports gym and the diner owned by Eddie and his moms When eighteen year old Tom shows up in the diner alley beaten bruised and fighting another homeless person for his belongings Eddie steps into than just breaking up a fight He sees a lost boy and takes him in offers him a job in the diner to get him off the street Tom carries hurts deeper than his bruises though and it s clear he has an inner anger that he needs to burn off. Black dog books and records Eddie an ex Marine used to train at Bannon s gym but he and Danny gym owner and trainer had a falling out a few months back When Tom gets interested in training at the gym this brings Eddie and Danny back together Maybe they ll clear up the guilt and anger they ve both been carrying Maybe three guys in need will be able to help each other out I have to add that this is not a menage story Ed and Dan have a long history and Tom who is gay is purely under their mentorship It becomes clear that Tom has a talent for mixed martial arts and with good training he could amount to something in the sport. Black dog coffeehouse This is well written The depiction of the constant damp gray days colors the mood and the action moves along at a good pace Eddie and Danny are the typical communication phobic guys and Eddie comes off as a bit melodramatic at times If you can accept that they pretty immediately focus on helping Tom then the story will work from that viewpoint they are two nice guys who know about life s knocks and want to help someone in need Basically this is a story about domestic abuse some violence is depicted and as it unfolds we find out alcohol abuse factors in too It is about the fight to overcome the stranglehold of these abuses It is about making a family where you can For these issues I d recommend this I did have some problems though the changing POV s between Eddie s first person and Tom and Danny s third person is weird I can t figure why the author chose to change Eddie s vantage the first person didn t really help things imho and it all just felt awkward Eddie s and Danny s romance is not really central to the story though they have their hot moments there is a lot going on in the plot Also the plotting is fairly pat everything is sketched out neatly and there is a predictable and welcome resolution at the end But this is a feel good story with some cool martial arts action thrown in for good measure I like how the training is shown to teach confidence and control fighting for it s own sake is not condoned This is a lesson that Tom has to learn as he deals with his anger I m rounding my rating up to 4 stars for this alone but this is really somewhere between 3 and 4 stars for me A good start to a series based around Bannon s gym I ll gladly return for For this review and much 9781619222885 I would have liked Black Dog so much if it weren t HALF a book This didn t so much end as stop with many plot points left dangling Despite the shifting POVs first person for Eddie and third person for Danny and Tom the writing was strong I really liked the three MCs as well as Eddie s awesome mom Gloria Danny and Eddie were high school lovers but following the death of Danny s brother a death both Danny and Eddie feel responsible for they ve grown apart Eddie left home and his relationship with Danny is strained at best Danny runs a boxing gym Eddie runs his family s diner One day Eddie finds 18 year old Tom bruised and battered fighting off a drunk in the alley behind the diner Eddie offers Tom a job and place to stay Tom has a natural talent for fighting and begins working out at Danny s gym This is as much a story about Tom and his abusive past as it is a story about Danny and Eddie Indeed it s Tom s story We have just a couple scenes with Danny Eddie alone together the sport is Mixed Martial Arts MMA and that only added to the enjoyment of the story There is grappling and ground fighting between sweaty fit and strong menneed I say That said let s get down to business The first thing that struck me was the style of writing It felt reminiscent of an old Bogart movie or some old comic where the narrative was dark and heavy with an air of skepticism It s fast paced funny gritty and quite often very touching Dare I say it hooked me in straight away. Black dog jacket Next this story hit me below the belt I think I was in heat for approximately 80% of the book cause lord have mercy I was on FIRE I was down for the count on the ropes I needed someone in my corner cause dammit it was incredibly sexy The descriptions of these skilled men while grappling for each other was bloody brilliant Indulge me for a minute I m thinking dreaming of Tom Hardy and Eddie Redmayne wrestling and licking and playing and well you get where I m headed right And jeezuz chrai one of ems a ginger It was Off The Charts Hot. I had a black dog book It s not all sexy groans and body slams though There are struggles of the emotional kind A push and pull between three characters no m nage who understand each other implicitly They have bridges to build and get over They have opportunities to pay it forward and they even get a shot at their own redemption Each of the characters were likeable but I really didn t get a sense of knowing the characters incredibly well Maybe I m asking too much from 130 pages Maybe my expectations were too high or maybe I just wanted MORE So now the gloves are off My biggest bone of contention was in the alternating point of view It was difficult to decipher who s point of view I was experiencing for a few paragraphs Going back and rereading was frustrating and threw me off course It was a low blow but it didn t make me want to throw in the towel In fact I won t hesitate to read the next book in the Bannon s Gym series Denotes boxing idioms FYI there were 8 in total I m such a lightweight Make that 9 9781619222885 Really enjoyed this one It s as much about Danny and Eddie and their relationship or lack thereof as it is about Tom and his life issues I loved how Danny and Eddie and Gloria took Tom under their wings and made him a part of their family The guilt etc causing problems between Danny and Eddie seemed to drag on for so long but I guess that was the point They made a great match when they were both on the same page Another well written interesting and enjoyable read 9781619222885 This started with lots of promisea bout of angry martial arts type sex and two broken guilt ridden men in need of healing I wanted the angst I was ready for it Practically salivating But it sort of fizzled like a damp squib and the story became Tom s the young runaway. Kindle black bookmark how he finds martial arts and a new family Blah The characters stayed pretty two dimensional except Tom perhaps and I wish the author had invested in a bit time with the two MC s especially Eddie I felt the way he got closure riiight at the end but I do wish a bit had been explored in this one 9781619222885 This book made me cry In a restaurant Over pancakes It takes a lot to cry while eating pancakes But this book did it Which is not to say it s a sad book it just has one or two sad moments In fact it runs the entire emotional spectrum from sexy to angry to joyous to hopeful Cat Grant takes her readers on a real thrill ride It s m m but if your expecting a bunch of sex scenes tied together this isn t it It s a real story It s hot and it s fun and it s meaningful But it s been a very long time since a book made me cry I can t wait for book 2 in the series Thanks Cat 9781619222885 4 StarsI picked this mainly because it was relatively short and I needed a sport themed book for a challenge Well imagine my surprise when I found myself actually liking the story quite a LOT. White cat black dog book Despite the length we get a lot of characterization for not just 2 MCs but also an additional character Tom Loved the emotional turmoil the angst and guilt the pain and fear Made the resolution that much enjoyable. Black dog harness no pull That said I really wish there d been explanation for Eddie joining the Seminary later the Marines Reading between the lines could lead the reader to think it was guilt and self hatredbut I would have liked to read that hear it from Eddie maybe explaining to Danny why he left. Black dog harness no pull I m hoping of that will come out in the subsequent novellas 9781619222885 Short MMA themed gay romance Hell to the yes It s sexy full of tension and lots of hot guys grappling and fighting on the mat and in the ring just don t read the blurb because it pretty much tells you the course of the story There s only so much left to discover Also while the ending is somewhat satifying it came kind of abruptly I wanted to know about Danny and Eddie because as much as I liked the two of them and their dance around one another they stayed a bit one dimensional in my opinion However the third point of view we got here was Tom s and I am looking forward to learn about him in the second book maybe it ll give substance to Eddie and Danny too I surely hope so 9781619222885 Look who read a real book. Black dodge challenger A really great story about family love friendship and forgiveness The characters were well developed and the relationships strong and relatable I love when a story is about than just two people falling in love and when friendship and the family you make for yourself are just as important A nice read for a rainy stretch of days Pretty sexy too which never hurts in my book 9781619222885 .
