Altri nomi: Franks, Linda E.
Sesso: female
Luogo di residenza: Bay Area, California, USA
Breve biografia: LE Franks walked away from writing at 17. Real life and travelling the world seemed fair compensation until the characters in her head demanded their turn. Now, living in the SF Bay Area, surrounded by inspiration everywhere, LE is finally taking off the filters and giving the stories free rein. These days, LE can be found frequently writing about sexy men who desperately need a happily ever.

LE writes M/M Romance in a unique mix of humor and drama with enough suspense to produce fast paced stories filled with emotion and passion and featuring characters that are quirky and complicated. Don't expect the typical rugged hero or sophisticated businessman with the world at their feet; LE's men are living in the margins--they're in the middle of their journey, doing the best they can while searching for a connection to something bigger than themselves. With a little effort and a lot of luck they may actually find their happily-ever-afters.

When not writing, LE wrangles an odd assortment of jobs (six - at last count), houseguests (including pro baseball players), family, and friends. Manifesting an odd combination of contradictory talents and traits, LE is tragically honest and personally deceptive, and makes the best piecrust - ever.

Currently LE Franks has several writing projects with author Sara York, including the Wolves & Waves series published by MLR Press.

6 Days to Get Lucky di L.E. Franks

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review

As much as Nick drove me a little batty in [b:6 Days to Valentine|20612615|6 Days to Valentine|L.E. Franks|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1390327100s/20612615.jpg|49936136], I was excited to see how Nick and Davis ("Fatboy") finally got together. Unfortunately, this book takes place a month later and they are still not really together. It sounds like mostly circumstance keeps them apart, but they haven't quite solidified themselves as a couple. Davis doesn't want to come out, but I don't really know why. His family knows, which makes me think it isn't a hiding in the closet thing. I wonder if he is waiting for Nick to grow up and take the bull by the horns and try to figure out if they are together, but it seemed more like he wanted to hide and Nick didn't. I typically like longer books, but being that this book takes place over 6 days, it seemed much longer with the amount of angsty wishy-washy. There were parts that were funny (Nick is ridiculous at times and I did laugh), but then there were times when I was confused. Perhaps it is real life and would really happen, but I was annoyed that Nick (while working and trying to stop things from happening) gets caught in a bar fight between patrons, but HE is arrested and no one would talk to him, even though they knew he was the bar manager. That made me mad. But, that is just me.
If there is another book (and I really hope there is because I want to see them actually get together!), then I would absolutely read it. I like the characters overall (despite Nick's cocky, arrogant, clueless attitude) and want to see them have a happy time.… (altro)

6 Days to Valentine di L.E. Franks

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

Nick is a bartender who seems cocky, arrogant, and self-absorbed. "Fatboy" (whose real name is Davis) is a bouncer who tries to be friends with Nick and eventually has the hots for him, but Nick doesn't give him the time of day. The story starts out with learning about Nick, and frankly I wasn't in love with him. His cocky attitude turned me off a little. I much preferred reading about Davis. When they finally got together, though, it was nice to see Nick become a bit more human. I'm interested in seeing more of them together in the next book with the hope that Nick gets his head on straight.

Typically I like longer books, but I think this book was the perfect length. The intent was to spread it
over 6 days, and this was a good length without getting to be too much.… (altro)

Of Nuts and Men di L.E. Franks

This had an interesting premise and a squirrel shifter, but it was not long enough to answer all of the questions I had. Sawyer is hiking and comes across a mountain lion. To get away, he climbs up a tree and gets stuck. Jamie is a squirrel shifter who finds him and helps him. I liked the interaction between Sawyer and Jamie in the tree. Jamie had to come out as a shifter, and it was cool seeing Sawyer learn about it all. I liked the rescue, and I thought they had a lot of promise as a stronger couple. For a short story, this was good.

What did bother me, though, was that this was a really short story and there were a lot of details packed in about Jamie’s background and family, but nothing was explained. We were left wondering about a lot of that, but a ton of page time was spent watching Jamie hunt for nuts and looking at trees and trying to find his cache. It was a little unbalanced in this way. I also wish we had more than one hook up scene with the guys and had a little more to go on to figure out if this was a one time thing or if these guys end up together.. With all of the family detail drop, I expected this to build up to more of a relationship, but it dropped off.

I am voluntarily reviewing an ARC provided by Booksprout. … (altro)
