Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book
for review from Star Angels Promo and the author. I was not compensated nor was I required to
write a positive review. The opinions I
have expressed are my own. I am posting
this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of
Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".
It's all fun and games until egos get hurt. After a year of a seemingly happily-ever-after, Troy Babilonia throws a curve ball that smacks Larson Blackburn right in the head. When Troy's debut novel, "Bridge to Lonely," threatens to overshadow Larson's own success, inviting a past shadow into the light of their present, the two alphas must learn to adjust.
"Bridge to Lonely" has garnered an unexpected success both in the literary world and in the film industry, forcing Larson to accept that he is not the only successful author in the building. But as Troy's old flame decides to make an appearance, the two alphas are forced to test the strength of their love. Let the battle of the egos recommence; where sarcasm is the preferred weapon, and the testosterone levels go beyond the boiling point.

My Thoughts:
Please make sure to read the beginning and not skip right to
the Prologue. The authors have included
Playlists and you may also find their Acknowledgements enlightening.
I have to give kudos to the authors for starting their book with none
other than book reviews. I would think
it would be hard to write a review for a non-existent book. But this just shows how creative they
actually are.
Troy Babilonia is a man who’s both creative and opinionated. He also appears to be very
self-centered. As the story goes on he
also seems to be a little anal over a first love interest. Larson Blackburn is a man whose feeling a
little neglected. Don’t expect their story to be all hearts and flowers. They have issues just like any normal
couple. This was a story that I didn’t
feel lost not having read the first book.
But by the time I finished the book I felt as if I missed something not
having read Black Balled.
At times, I felt as if Troy was more of a primadonna who just seemed to
want to be just a little better then Larson.
There were times I forgot that this is a story about two men – it’s a
story of two people trying to find their way through a relationship. The authors do a fantastic job in creating a
relationship that seems so real that you forget that it’s fictional. There were times when things seemed to get a
little intense but we have a woman and some animals that will lighten things up
a bit.
The language is graphic and love scenes are hot. If you’re into sweet and vanilla then this is
not the story for you. In our history
there were certain things that were not talked about and I’m certainly glad to
see that things have changed. And that
authors are willing to write about them.
With these changes we have authors that are willing to show their readers
that two men can love each other.
Nothing in the book made me uncomfortable but left me feeling like I was
reading about two good friends. Because
of the way the story was written there are times that it felt like Troy and
Larson were talking directly to me. It’s
also a great incentive to go to some of the book events that go on during the
year just in case you can catch a glimpse of a Troy or Larson – and to see if
Ms. Smith and Ms. LeNoir are there just to say thank you for what they do so
well.

A true believer in the female cause, Eva's wish is to portray the women in her books as the leaders. She sees them walking hand in hand with their partners and not be the sheepish followers of the male gender.
