Topping the Alpha

4.75⭐️3🌶

I finished the audio of Topping the Alpha yesterday. It was good, a little out of my comfort zone, but still good. Now I know I don't mind MM romances. The narrator was Sean Crisden for this one and I really liked him. It looks like this may be the only one he narrates though. This one took me just a little bit to get into. It jumps into the spice rather quickly and Jake is characterized a little differently in this book. I felt he was being overly aggressive and a little pushy toward Nick. Once I thought about it a little it made sense though. In the other books we only see Jake's intereaction with female subs of his Dom teammates. He was being about as aggressive as Ian was with Angie or Devon was with Kristen. Once I wrapped my head around it a little I got into the book more. I thought the spice was done well and I thought the suspense plotline was balanced well with the romance plot line. It was a gratifying story. It was hinted at heavily that Jake had a dark backstory. He does, so it was that much better to see him finally let go of some demons and find happiness with Nick. Overall it was a good story and I enjoyed it. I started the next book today.

YOP: Week 36

I didn't get any crafting done this week. I did receive my swap package from the My Favorite Things swap. Here's what I received: An ample stack of fabric squares. Most are knitting related, the rest coordinate well. A book that looks interesting, The Vampire Knitting Club, one of my favorite candies, a skein of Alpaca yarn in a glorious color and cat chair feet. My daughter commandeered a couple of them already. I'm going to put a set on the clothes chair in the bedroom. All in all it was a fun swap. I also signed up for the Halloween Mini and got my partner assignment. I've got some ideas brewing for that one. Since my knitting mojo still hasn't returned despite the change in weather, I picked up a book (kindle) series instead. About two years ago I read an excellent science fiction romance; The Viridian Priestess. I know I talked about it. It was my favorite boo...

YOP: Week 35

Not much to report this week. I didn't do much crafting. I finished the swap, got it packaged up and mailed out. It should have arrived to my recipient yesterday. I'll share what I made. The theme was Favorite Things. She likes the colors pale yellow and deep dark red and dragons, so I went all out with the dragons. I chose Dragon Scale Mitts for the handmade item. I used Madeline Tosh Sport in the Tart colorway. My camera doesn't really do this colorway justice. It has more depth in real life. I think they came out nicely though. I was able to find dragon fabric at The Quilt Shop. I made a reversible project bag. I paired each dragon fabric with one of her favorite colors. Liara really liked the dragon fabric as well. I'm probably going to get some more when I go again. I also sent some stationary items and a bunch of Swedish Fish, which were also things she had req...

YOP: Week 34

I did some crafting this week, but it was all for the swap. I was nearly out of interfacing so I ran over to The Quilt Shop in Watertown. I'd been there once a couple of years ago and thought their prices were very good considering they are independent and Joanne and Hobby Lobby were both in Watertown at the time. They have really expanded and have a tremendous selection. They have more novelty type fabrics now, which is what I prefer for my bags, so I will be going there much more often.... probably too much. I got interfacing and I found two prints that were perfect for my swapee. I really wasn't expecting to find what I did. I sewed a bag with those two prints and two of the fabrics I picked up from Walmart. The Walmart fabric was acceptable. Not groundbreaking, but decent enough that if I find cute prints I'll probably grab them. I finished the handknit earlier today. I want to steam block it yet, ...
