Elaine White's Life in Books

The Author

 

 

Elaine White is the author of multi-genre MM romance, celebrating 'love is love' and offering diversity in both genre and character within her stories.

Growing up in a small town and fighting cancer in her early teens taught her that life is short and dreams should be pursued. She lives vicariously through her independent, and often hellion characters, exploring all possibilities within the romantic universe.

The Winner of two Watty Awards – Collector's Dream (An Unpredictable Life) and Hidden Gem (Faithfully) – and an Honourable Mention in 2016's Rainbow Awards (A Royal Craving) Elaine is a self-professed geek, reading addict, and a romantic at heart.

I’m an author and reader, who just can’t get away from books. I discovered the MM genre a few years ago and became addicted.

Some Kind of Stranger

Some Kind of Stranger - Katrina Strauss I loved this! It's my first book by Katrina Strauss and I was sad to discover her after her retirement from writing.

Saying that, this book was amazingly good. I wasn't sure about it at first, because the subject matter was quite dark and obviously not leading anywhere good, which is why it's only 4 stars. I did contemplate after the first chapter, whether this was the right book for me, but I'm so glad I kept going.

By the time I'd got to know Blue and Derek, I'd fallen in love with them. Make no mistake, this is no light and fluffy, sugary sweet romance. This is a hard core BDSM Dom/Sub relationship that was sometimes just a little uncomfortable, especially in the beginning. But the relationship and character development were gold! So well written, well plotted and presented that I literally couldn't put it down.

I also kind of love that both boys are damaged, in quite a bit way, because they come together and heal each other, over time. It's not rushed, it's not love at first sight. It's an instant attraction that blossoms into something intense and overpowering.

I'm so looking forward to book 2. Having read the blurb, I just know I'm going to love it.
