Paid Leave Receives Positive Reviews

I don't normally like to toot my own horn, but I'm going to right now. Paid Leave has received some great reviews. I can honestly say this is the first of my novels to gain so many stars. I put a lot of love into Paid Leave, so I'm very happy to see readers enjoy it. It also really encourages me to finish the sequel!

-- Below are a few reviews I've seen and wanted to share --


4.5 Nymphs from Literary Nymphs Reviews Only.
"Paid Leave is a well written story that slowly brings the readers into Benji’s life and allows them to see how meeting the right person helps him become a stronger person. The personal and professional conflicts the men face help strengthen their relationship. This is a story that will find its way to many keeper piles. Fans of the M/M genre should really give it a try. "


5 Stars from World of Diversity Fiction.
"I loved this story! Benji could have been any gay man from any place in the world. He is the man afraid to come out, but will not let the man he loves go without standing up for himself and his relationship. I loved watching him grow as a character."
"I give Paid Leave, 5 stars! If you are looking for a law enforcement story that makes you want to turn the page and ask for more work from the author, then this story is for [you]!"


5 stars from Sid Love.
"The best thing about this story is that Hayley B James makes these characters so real. I loved that she avoided going down the route that most m/m romances take – making these two guys stereotypically gorgeous hunks with flowery descriptions of model style looks or perfect bodies - No! She gives us perfectly normal, everyday guys and that was what made this story so believable. "
