BOOK REVIEW:
“Stormy Weather” is a lighthearted, fun, and romantic story. Craig is adorable and Grant is a sweet guy too. They have great chemistry, and it feels like the real thing with them.

“Score Two for the Good Guys” is quite a little soap opera. While the story is emotional and romantic it’s a little too dramatic. It often feels as if the characters are acting. It has some good moments and hot sex but overall it’s a little weak.

“Fragments of a Fiery Sun’s” storyline is great. It’s intriguing and exciting, and the romance is sweet and hot. Not to mention that Kelan’s Irish accent is wonderfully romantic and sexy.

“Waves of Love” is a story with a lot of drama queens in it. It’s less about Dale and Jerry and more about Ken’s perception of Dale and Jerry so it doesn’t have a very personal feel either. Waves of Love is like a gay soap opera, it’s fun sometimes but a little over the top.

“Thirty” is a very cool story. It’s extremely romantic with some suspense and angst to enhance the plot. Mallick and Varr are charming men and their apprehension about their love being reciprocated is endearing.

Make Me a Match 2’s diverse collection of stories has something for everyone. While I liked some stories better than others, as a whole, Make Me a Match 2 is fun, sexy and romantic.
