6/10/2023 0 Comments Jet by russell blakeIf you haven’t read any of the JET books, read it first. If you have read any of the JET books, read Ops Files next. JET: Ops Files has no number because it is the much-needed and long-awaited prequel to the original story JET, which kind of started off in mid-air. I mean, it is the identification with Maya – the ultimate kick-ass super-woman – that makes each book so unputdownable and the series so addictive. Because, in a nutshell, there is less Maya: there is more hopping to other (frequently depressing, extremely bad guy) points of view, when all the reader wants (or at least all this reader wants) is to stay with Maya throughout the story. Which was bit disappointing judged by the high standard set in this series four stars rather than five. Then, later, came JET V: Legacy, another 5-star thriller if ever there was one. It was when JET IV: Reckoning first came out that I discovered Maya and this series, and read JET I, II, III and IV straight off, back to back. 6/10/2023 0 Comments Stars & Stripes by Abigail RouxThe series was recommended to me on social media by a friend of a friend who said it was different from most male/male books as the focus was on the plot, characters and story-line rather than the sex.

Knowles denies these claims and has called on media outlets to retract articles stating as such. Shortly after Knowles’ speech, social media lit up, and prominent advocates for the trans community and several media outlets criticized him for wanting to eradicate the transgender community.
