At twenty-one years old, Richard Lewis Bancroft was on the fast track to fame and fortune. An award-winning start on the Broadway stage led him to the silver screens of Hollywood, where his star began to rise, and his heart fell hard for professional baseball sensation, Manuel Guzman. But there was no script for living out loud with the man of his dreams in the world of 1964.

Then Richard disappeared without a trace.

Forty years later, Michael Spencer discovered a journal in his grandmother’s attic that would change his life forever, and quite possibly, solve the mysterious disappearance of Richard Lewis Bancroft. – via Goodreads

I really enjoyed reading this FREE novella. It’s one of those stories that lingers with you days after reading it. I loved its nostalgic vibe with Michael discovering journals of a famous Hollywood actor which led him to unravel the truth about his family and getting a glimpse of love at its purest. I think I even cried by the end of the story. This is a special book with a fairy tale ending – another great piece from Taylor V. Donovan.

Book Review: Six Degrees of Lust (By Degrees #1) – Taylor V. Donovan

Now, I’ve to tell you how I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. At first, I was hesitant to give it a go because of its awful book cover but when I started reading it, I can’t seem to stop until I reach its last page. There’s obviously so much about this book having like a gazillion secondary characters which made me almost confused at times. Although sandwiched by tons of supporting characters, I loved that the central characters still have the spotlight for themselves.

Sam’s character can get pretty annoying at times but the funny thing is how he almost always contradicts himself when it comes to Mac that it’s almost adorable. Mac on the other hand is a wet dream personified. I just wished that he’s not such a power bottom for Sam. Oops. LOL

Anyhoo, this is the first book from the “By Degrees” series and yes, the book ain’t finish and sadly – no resolution was concluded with all the amazing characters in it but it was still a very nice read of course. It’s like am appetizer to the main course. Now I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
