4.5 starsUs is a sequel to one of my favorite romances, Him.The story starts a couple of months after Him ends. Wes and Jamie live together now; Wes dream has come true: he is having a terrific rookie season at NHL, and he is also having the man’s heart he loved in his whole life. But his happiness is not spotless. Wes doesn’t believe he can have both the most important things in his life at the same time. In fear of coming out would damage his career, Wes and Jamie decide to keep their relation...

4.5 Wes & Jamie STARS“Love is friendship set on fire.”I fell hard for both Wes and Jamie in Him and anxiously awaited this release. I'll start off be saying this one is completely different from the first book. And you know what? That’s one of the things I really liked about this. I totally thought that it should be. Us is about the relationship phase. It made sense to me for these two to have to learn to navigate being a couple like all couples do but then they also had the added pressures of W...

Third re-read: 30.04.2021 This time around I actually liked book two more than book one. Strange how my ratings keeps changing back and forth with my re-reads. That said, I wish we had gotten five or six books with this couple. Second re-read: 19.08.2019 This book has much more depth than the first book. It's so interesting to see Jamie journey from such a happy, laid back man, too angry and then depressed. I know how depressed feels like and so I could easily relate to him. I also love see

It was a shaky start but finished strong.I was kind of hesitant to start Us. I really enjoyed the first in the series Him which was surprising at the time as I’m not really into M/M books. For me, I normally put myself in the shoes of the main character which is a little hard to do when there are two heroes and no heroine. I can’t relate. It’s that simple. In this case, I have to be a voyeur and observe…like watching a movie. When there was talk that a second book was coming, I couldn’t help but...

“It’s us. And it’s perfect.” Gah - I love Wesmie 🥰 ❤️❤️This is an MM story. You must read Book #1 first. HimMy review of Him:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...🔸Synopsis:🔸After finally professing their love in Book #1, Jamie and Wes are back for another installment with “Us”. Wes is now playing professional hockey for Toronto and is having an awesome rookie year. There’s just one little problem, the world does not know Wes is gay and living with his boyfriend. So, Jamie and Wes must keep

“There's an old quote my mother once painted on a ceramic platter. Love is friendship set on fire. I get it now.” I loved the continuation of Wes and Jamie's story as much as the first book. We get to see them learning how to be a couple in this one and though you feel the love, their relationship is not always hearts and flowers. Five months into it and - Wes's hectic schedule as a rookie in NHL, Jamie's new coaching job, them hiding their relationship and additionally not having too

4 stars Us is the highly anticipated sequel to the book Him by two of my favorite authors. After two childhood friends reconnected and fell in love, Wes and Jamie are living together in Canada pursuing their dreams. Wes is playing for an NHL team and Jamie is coaching a youth hockey team. Wes’s schedule is rough on them both, he’s constantly traveling at away games and Jamie is often left behind due to his own job commitments. On top of the crazy schedule, Wes and Jamie aren’t really “out”

**4/10/2017 - A little Wes & Jamie reread, via audiobook, before I jump into Good Boy later this month. The narrators are perfection! -----------------------------------------------***4.25 Stars*** Love is friendship set on fire. Alright, I'm going to start this review with a confession....I was REALLY hesitant to read this book. You see, I loved the ever loving crap out of the first book. And well, when I heard there was going to be a sequel....more Wes and Jamie, you say....it was a...

Oh, dear... I had high expectations for this book after thoroughly enjoying the first one, but this one fell flat for me for multiple reasons. So book two starts shortly after the end of the first one. Jamie is coaching, and Wes is having a fantastic rookie season. All should be great except they have to hide their relationship. To make matters worse Wes's teammate moves into their apartment building and he has no qualms about stopping over at any time uninvited.Why this didn't work for me:1. Bl...

I was so excited to hear that Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen were giving Wes and Jaime a sequel! Him was a 5 star book for me, has a 4.36 average rating on GoodReads with over 7k ratings, a 4.8 average rating on Amazon.com with over 400 reviewers and came in at #3 for our Reader's Choice Awards for 2015. It's just an absolutely outstanding story. And it's also a pretty tough act to follow.We enter the sequel 6 months after the end of Him. Jaime is coaching a hockey team of promising teens and Wes...

4.5 STARS[image error]This is the continuation of Jamie Canning and Ryan Wesley’s love story and is the sequel to Him. The authors did a terrific job showing the two living together, while struggling with keeping their relationship under wraps just for Wes’ rookie season with the pros. Jamie had decided to not pursue a professional hockey career but is working with a local teenage team. ”I promised Wes I’d keep up appearances at least until the end of his rookie season. Coming out now would o...

4 'US' Stars!After finishing Him yesterday I wasn't sure how Sarina and Elle would extent this story but I am happy to say I really enjoyed it! Jamie and Wes have such an amazing relationship and this does not change in the sequel. However, it does get difficult for them and I found Us even more emotional than Him. I don’t know how to make things better. I love this guy, I really do. But I didn’t anticipate how hard this would be. Him remains my favorite of the two books because even though I...

6++ stars ☆oh damn, i thought the first book was amazing, but the sequel was even better imo. i loved how, in this particular book, not only do we see Jamie and Wes face problems in their relationship but also how they manage to work it out in the end. it's more emotional than the first book, but i could understand (view spoiler)[where Jamie was coming from with his decisions in the second half. i had a feeling, because of everything that was happening, it was leading to that point (hide spoiler...

An angsty sequel to one of my favorite books, Us packs an emotional punch.I listened to the audio for Us during the Covid-19 crisis, and I would highly recommend waiting until this time period is over before starting this one. Let's just say that the story hit a bit too close to home... Theses narrators alone make the story worth listening to. They are my dream-team, and I'd listen to them narrate just about anything. They elevated the story and made the angst bearable. Though this couple gets

Re-read 2/2021: I accidentally deleted the wrong edition of the book, the one with my original review and rating, so I'm keeping this short. The first time I read this book, I gave it four stars. I think I was comparing it too much to book 1, and they are very different. It wasn't until I read it for the second time that I really came to appreciate it.I think I've read it at least five times so far and I feel it just gets better with every reread. I also listened to the audiobook more than once

*** 3.5 Stars ***Well,it's no secret that Him is one of my favourite M/M books, I even recommended it to my gay postman(I'm not joking). I was so excited to read this.I didn't know what to expect but more of Jamie and Wes,there was no way I wasn't reading this.Unfortunately it ended up just being ok for a few reasons.So it's eight months on and Jamie and Wes are living together.Their relationship is still secret with Wes wanting to wait until his rookie season is over before going public.Their w...

Sequel of "Him" Coming 2016!!! --->>>OMG...I CAN'T WAIT!!

Goddamn, I'm now binge listening to SB!These narrators are so good! They bring heat, feels and have oodles of chemistry to Wesmie. Love is like friendship set on fire. Blakey is still amazing as are the Cannings. Every scene between Wes and Cindy just killed me, especially when he calls her the mother he wished he had. I'm so so glad he has her and the Canning family now who have embraced him as part of their family.The romance is the stuff of watery knee syndrome and, yet again, I felt more c...

Us is book two in the Him series by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy. This is the continuation of their story, beginning a few months after the first book left off.Ryan Wesley’s rookie season playing professional hockey in Toronto is off to a fantastic start. He’s breaking all kinds of records. And the best part is coming home to the love of his life, Jamie Canning. He’s loved Jamie since they were kids. Only it took him nine years to tell him. Now they are together and his life is complete. Except...

Ever since I found out that there was gonna be a second book in this series, I have wanted to read this one. It has been on my tbr list since the moment it was released. I chickened out on reading it when it was published though...The first book about these two made me so freaking happy and I was scared that this happiness I was feeling was gonna be screwed with, in this book. My worries only became worse after reading some reviews.I finally found my "big girl" panties though and jumped in. Turn...
