Like Breathing
by
Tia Fielding
A love as easy as breathing.
Life started out rocky for Devin Rice, but it’s turned out pretty well. He has adoptive parents and a brother who love him, and he works as a coder for his dad’s video game company. Romance is scarce, but a chance encounter leads to more than he ever expected.
While dropping off an assignment for his sick brother, Dev meets his mentor. Art history professor Seth Kent is brilliant and gorgeous, just what Dev has been looking for. Except that he’s in a long-term committed relationship.
Seth’s partner, Leaf, is older and sees the world differently due to his unusual upbringing. To him, the clear attraction between Seth and Dev isn’t a problem, it’s an unexpected gift. After all, Leaf is often on the road, going wherever rescue dogs need rehabilitation.
When Leaf meets Dev, all the missing pieces fall into place, and three men from different worlds and at different points in life fill each other’s empty spaces. For them, building a future together is the most natural thing in the world. But their unconventional love causes waves in their careers and family dynamics, and each man has his own doubts and fears to overcome.
Blurb: Noah Trevelyan has lost his moorings. Disowned over his sexuality as a teenager, he hasn’t been back to his home on the Outer Banks since his fisherman father kicked him out. But when he returns for the Old Man’s funeral, he discovers his father left him the house and boat in his will. Noah must choose whether to stay or go, but he won’t be alone. There’s Ian, working to overcome the emotional scars left by a domineering ex-boyfriend, and Ty, a cheerful housekeeper who’s struggling to take care of his Alzheimer’s-stricken aunt. There’s Joshua too, running from the destruction of his old life, and Gabriel, who was once beaten and left for dead, and doesn’t know how to survive on his own.
Will they find in each other the strength and courage to keep living—and learn, together, how to love again? A polyamorous relationship is the last thing any of them expected to find in the Outer Banks, but it might be what they need most, and it might even be their redemption—if they can keep their group from breaking apart under the pressure.
Review: I never expected to love this book as much as I did because polygamous relationships are not something that I can accept lightly; this was the first book I’ve ever read where five different people make a go of a very unusual relationship. The most I’ve ever dealt with in my reading experience are threesomes, and I can’t tell you how many times the relationship didn’t work for me for different reasons. Maybe I was wrong to start this book thinking it was going to be a fail, but I LOVE when I’m wrong and my mind is blown in the best possible way.
Noah Trevelyan has returned home after ten long years to bury his father; kicked out at a young age for being gay (in order to keep from tainting the whole family), Noah is now trying to make peace with his father’s death and the fact that he never got the chance to fix their relationship.
Ian has been living next door to Noah’s father for the past seven years and recently being dumped by his long-term asshole boyfriend, he’s still trying to recover from the heartbreak. Ian is a mother-hen, a doer, a caretaker who wants nothing more than to make those he loves feel happy and taken care of.
Joshua has spent almost a year behind bars for a murder he didn’t commit and even though he’s been acquitted, he ran far away from his hometown in order to start over. Joshua doesn’t think he has much to offer and knows that his past will more than likely put a shadow over any relationship he might form, regardless of his innocence. Joshua is plain and average, but he’s got a calming effect on those around him and he’s great to be around.
Ty is happiness, joy, cheer, and sunlight. He’s one of those people that everybody loves, who should never be anything but happy and smiling and shining bright. But Ty is dealing with his own problems; his great-aunt Lily, the woman who raised him after the death of his mother is suffering from Alzheimer’s and Ty’s heart is breaking day after day.
Gabriel might look like an angel but he’s definitely not one; his risky sexual behavior landed him in a dangerous situation that found him beaten, cut, scarred for life, and left for dead. Gabriel suffers from depression and has plans to take his own life; but why exactly has he traveled so far and how did he end up where he is now? He doesn’t know but plans to stay alive long enough to figure it out.
Five men who are not perfect, who are as different as can be, work together perfectly to get over the obstacles life threw in their path. Everything about them, from the way they met, to the way they interact, how they end up together, EVERYTHING felt as natural as breathing. I expected to feel overwhelmed by their polygamous relationship; I expected this book to feel more pornish than it did considering there are a lot of dicks in one bed; I expected the drama level and maybe the angst to be sky high considering the men’s backgrounds. Pretty much every one of my expectations was blown to dust. What I got were five men who become best friends, who complement each other perfectly. Yes, there’s sex, but the fact that it’s not overly descriptive or crude makes it natural and not overwhelming at all. I loved the support they offered one another, a make-shift family who had each other’s backs and never gave up on each other. I loved this book!
I can’t wait to read more from Max, I think they’re becoming more experienced in their writing; Five-Sided Heart is much better than Taking the Long Way, the writing has a nice even flow and the pace is perfect. Great book!
Blurb: Sander March is one season away from the pros, or so everyone tells him.
If only Sander had as much faith in his ability as the Cougar coaching staff does. Outwardly, he’s cocksure, borderline bitter, and slightly sarcastic. All that strut and sass hides a wounded soul though. Working to hide a brutal past filled with humiliation, abuse, and a family member who still haunts him, Sander has never found the kind of comfort and understanding he so desperately needs. Until he meets Mateo Castillo, a minor league baseball player for the nearby Elmira Egrets. Mateo and Sander click instantly, and a budding friendship develops between the two athletes.
Mateo then introduces Sander to his boyfriend, Noah Coombs, an aspiring manga comic creator. The three men find themselves bonding strongly, and that slowly gives way to sexual attraction. Eventually, Mateo and Noah invite Sander into their relationship. The path to happiness isn’t going to be easy for Sander as he faces criticism from his friends, teammates, and the press for his choices. The brash young star can handle all that, it’s when his abuser shows up in Cayuga that Sander fears not only for his own safety, but for the lives of the two men he has grown to love. Will Sander’s past tear him away from Mateo and Noah, or will he be able to leave the darkness behind?
Review: Sanders has had quite a harsh life growing up. His mother had od when he was around four years old, and his sister’s husband was an abusive asshat. The man had hurt both his wife and Sander’s since he was six years old. The man went to jail but was coming up to parole time. It pretty much sent Sanders into panic mode. He was having a difficult time with it, but the two men he had fallen in love with helped.
Noah had been attacked and brutually raped some time ago, and he knew all about panic situations. He had had Mateo to help him through each time. He was a shy young man but his heart was always a bit scared. When Sander’s came over to play games, he was attracted to him and he knew Mateo was as well.
Mateo was pretty much the glue that held them all together. Sander’s was getting pretty far ahead in his hockey career and Noah was making a name for himself with his art. The problem was baseball was not as progressive as they should be. Thing in their lives are going to change.
This is a very slow moving story that comes off a bit dry to me. It was harder to connect with the characters then it should have been. I just could not get into this story and that was more than likely mine. You get quite a bit of Sanders and Noah, but Mateo not so much. It was like he was just a add in, even though he had been with Noah longer. Then there was Sander’s relationship with Vic that made Vic the asshat, which he really wasn’t.
It has some hot and sexy times in it, and the support that they give each other rocked. Although it comes off a bit harsh in parts. I have always been a fan of m/m romance but not so much with menage’s. They never seem to flow with ease, but in this story it actually made it more believable.
The story has a darker tone to it that doesn’t really call to me, but it also made the story more believable. It was like you knew who the guys were and they come off more real. There is heartbreak, pain, guilt, abuse, love, and friendship in this story and more.
Overall this story was well told and gives you something that felt real to the readers. The problem was that it was just not my type of story and I will admit that I skimmed over quite a bit of the story. It just wasn’t my kind of book and there was no real pull to it that called to me.

Blurb: Gay and happily married, Leo has helped manage a large, influential nonprofit arts foundation over the past ten years. He has built a friendly rapport with the elderly billionaire who began it, but he has enemies within the foundation.
Leo’s birthday is on February 13, and that has always meant candles on heart-shaped cupcakes and birthday cards with “Happy Valentine’s Day” crossed out. To celebrate, Andrew, Leo’s mystery writer husband, arranges a tryst for Leo with Mel, a gifted violinist who is one of Andrew’s biggest fans.
What started as mere pleasure becomes a three-part harmony as Leo, Andrew, and Mel explore the ways their kinks and needs mesh—until Leo’s enemies attempt to use evidence of the liaison to force him out of his job.
Review: Leo’s birthday is the day before Valentines day. His husband has set up a surprise present for him. One sexy young man who can play the violin. Andrew has given him a gift but it turns out in the end the gift would be for them all. Mel couldn’t be happier to end up with these two guys and it sure does show.
Now I have to say that this one didn’t quite keep my attention like it should have. I am all for being married or even in a threesome relationship. My issues were the fact that Leo had not asked for it. He knew his husband was into that sort of thing, but his heart was not like that. However for him Mel was perfect. To me even if it is a gift given to you by your husband, it just seems wrong.
It was an interesting story, but it didn’t do anything for me. The story came off a bit dry and dull. Although the three of them was quite hot. It was different then what I have read before. I don’t care for open relationships and the fact that one of them did not do that sort of thing, it felt like Andrew was not that much in love. Now Leo calls them cheating and being together in the book, and that made the story even more off. To me it was a bad porno. Then there was the fact like it was pushed together fast, not slow to get to know each other.
However I am sorry to say this book was definitely not for me.
Leadership and setting an upstanding example are everything to Wisconsin Wendigos captain David Dickson. On ice, he’s got it all together. Off ice? Not so much. For years he’s been pining for not one, but both of the loyal alternate captains who’ve stood by him through thick and thin.
They’ve always had his back…
Sasha Ivanov and Bo McAllister have always seemed more into each other then into their captain. But when the stress of the season starts affecting David, they’re more than willing to step up and help him deal with it–by whatever means necessary.
He can’t resist…
When Sasha and Bo offer him everything he’s been wanting, David can’t say no, even though he knows it comes with an expiration date. But the more he finds himself fitting into their life, the more he wants what he knows he can’t have.
Can Bo and Sasha find room in their hearts for one more person? Will David let them bring him into their life? Or are these captains doomed to remain just teammates?
Find out in this steamy sports romance novel, featuring a team captain who’s too stubborn for his own good, a defenceman with a heart of gold, and a goalie who never has a problem using his words.
Three-Man Advantage is a standalone romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger! Also includes a sneak peek at Holding, Book 3 in the Tripping series, coming in October 2018!!!
Review: David is the captain of the Wisconsin Wendigos ice hockey team and he has it bad for both the alternate captains, defenceman Sasha and goalie Bo, who he thinks are in a relationship together. He longs for something with either one of them and when they make him an offer he can’t refuse all he can do is try to protect his heart.
Sasha and Bo have both noticed that David is extra anxious as the season progresses and decide to try to ease some of the tension. But Sasha soon realises that it just might be more than just helping out their captain for all three of them. Bo is determined to make his captains life easier, and sexing up the man is a bonus but when he gets the idea to find David his own boyfriend he soon realises that maybe his feelings for David have changed.
This is a great little story of a ménage romance developing into love. David, Sasha and Bo are three great characters, they fit together perfectly and you can see how they easily slide from friends into lovers. Sasha is a very perceptive man, he realises before any of the other just ow they all feel for each other and instead of trying to force the other two into recognising the feelings, and he has the patience to wait for them to realise it themselves.
Bo is quite a character, cheeky and loveable, he’s so desperate to make sure David is relaxed and not snarling at the team, he opens his bed to David not realising that he has also opened his heart.
David so desperately wants something special in his life and his attraction to both Sasha and Bo causes him some conflict. Getting involved with both of them might end up being a problem when he realises how deeply he feels for them but he can’t deny himself the joy of being with them.
This is a great story but I did find it jarring at first as we are plunged straight in without the characters being introduced (you know their descriptions and what positions they play etc), I just found it really jarring as though the author just expected me to remember them from the first book *shrugs*. The writing style is pretty easy to fall into although at times it felt slightly stilted but those moments are few and far between.
The characters are entertaining and likeable, you get pulled into David’s, Sasha’s and Bo’s lives and relationship from the start and you do hope that they realise without too much heartache how much they mean to each other.
I recommend this story to those who love ménage romances that feel fated, who adore great characters, love hockey and sexy men finding their happily every afters.
Blurb: Jules might be one of the only humans amongst a house full of paranormal being, but they’re his family, and he’s not giving them up for two mates who left him at the hands of a monster.
Jules Somerset has fought hard the past year to get his life on track after being kidnapped by an insane vampire. Since his rescue, he’s gained a family who loves him, has a job he’s good at, and has made friends with a lot of his fellow clansmen. He also holds a longing in his heart for two prejudiced jerks. Okay, to be fair, Hacen is the only one prejudiced. Tommy just goes along. Jules wants to be so over the whole mating thing already but can’t seem to stop wanting them both.
Review: Each book in the Saint Lakes collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.
Jules was mated to one evil vampire whose wife had made it impossible for them to mate. Thanks to a warlock, the bond was destroyed. To bad he was not bonded to the warlock and the warlock’s mate. A mate that didn’t want him, and to top it off they left him behind when they ran. Now time has gone past and he had been rescued only to be forced to live near them. Talk about a storm about to rise up.
Tommy knew that fate had a way of righting the wrongs. To bad his stubborn mate Hacen didn’t think so well. Tommy was the warlock that broke the bond and somehow turned Jules into their mate. Hacen was a prejudice asshat who is the most stubborn. Time is coming for them too, well if you want to know more read the book.
This story caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. I must admit that this was not my favorite of the stories, but it was still interesting to read. What is better than two sexy men, three with attitudes. The characters are quite feisty and sexy as hell. I will also admit that I didn’t much care for the beginning of the story, it just felt like it left a part of the story out. However it didn’t really take away from the story to much.
I had a lot of fun reading it and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Blurb: Cory has been crushing on Max since forever, but Max hasn’t made a move on him. Tired of waiting for something that may never happen, Cory finds himself in the arms of one of Wildfire’s investors. They both are scratching a carnal itch, but when it becomes more than just lust, Seoul isn’t sure he’s ready to become the man Cory needs.
Max wants Cory with every breath he takes, but his best friend was molested by his father, and Max is hesitant to step up to the plate. When he finds out Cory is having sex with another man, his jealousy just might push Cory away.
Seoul thinks owning a town comes with perks. He spots a sexy little laborer, and the heat turns up, but there is only one problem. In order to have Cory, Seoul must deal with Max.
Can the three make a go of it, or will their attempt at a ménage relationship destroy each of their lives?
Review:Each book in the Wildfire collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.
What is better then two sexy men getting it on, well you guessed it three. Welcome to a hot and tempting ménage. Max rescued Cory when he was a teenager and basically finished raising him. Cory had been abused by his father and needed a gentle hand. Which Max doesn’t really have. Things change for both of them and the explosion is about to hit. Then you add in one sexy millionaire who has had a taste of Cory, and things are going to heat up. To bad Max is closed off and Seoul has never been in love before. It is going to be an interesting run.
I wasn’t to sure about Cory and the guys at first. Just couldn’t figure out how he was going to get them all together but hey Lynn surprised me again. The heat and connection plus add in the passion and damn it was one sweet read. It wasn’t perfect but it ended pretty good. I can’t say this one would be my favorite of the series but it was still a good book.
I enjoyed reading this story and can not wait to get my hands on the next book. I also loved the danger and excitement, but really would have love to watch that beating jackal getting his just rewards. Guess will have to wait and see what happens. I had a lot of fun and can guarantee that you will too.
Blurb: Strength is found when surrendering to destiny.
Graham has suffered way too much at the hands of the Nall. Ever since he was enslaved after the invasion, he’s been raped and tortured by the Alasharian Supreme Commander and his cohorts. Condemned to die by hanging for his part in the human rebellion, Graham gives in to the inevitable, no longer caring if he lives or dies. But an unexpected event occurs and, at the last moment, Graham is saved.
Balor is a guard to the Nall, but he’s also a part of the growing rebellion among the Alasharians. When one of the Nall’s advisors enlists his help in getting a human prisoner to safety, Balor comes to his aid. Startled by the soul match hum that sparks to life when he touches Graham, but unable to do anything about it, Balor is determined to protect his human match at all costs. When Advisor Oman arrives on the scene to rescue Balor as he helps Graham to escape, it becomes clear that yet another alien/human triad is forming—even if Graham may never accept being bonded to two aliens after the trauma he’s endured at the hands of Alasharians.
The time has come to depart to the secret military complex where the human and Alasharian allies will stage their final assault against the Nall and the Void. Families are reunited and others torn apart as they prepare for battle. The allies fear what will become of them all if Chris, the special human Sha Sha Ar has chosen as their spiritual leader, is no longer there to guide them.
Reader advisory: This book contains scenes of battle violence, and mentions of rape and torture.
Review: I have really enjoyed this series so far. In this one Oman and Balor get together and begin looking for their third. Graham has been raped and abused by the Nall species so imagine my surprise when his mates save him and seems like the past abuse did not occur as far sex goes.
Although I liked the characters that one aspect threw the whole story off for me. I felt as though what Graham went through was irrelevant to what Oman and Balar wanted but maybe it was just me. Aside from that it was an intriguing story with suspense and mystery.
Blurb: Tai wishes Master Lucas wasn’t such an adamant Top, but he’s also crushing on the sweetly submissive Elliot. Could he have it both ways?
Tai has hit a wall in life. From all outward appearances, he’s the guy who has everything—looks, personality and money. But the modeling gigs are drying up and he still hasn’t found that special someone to call his own. The part-time work at Kiss of Leather is quickly becoming full-time to prevent the drain on his dream-business savings.
Elliot fell for the stunning Tai from almost the moment he met him. If he wasn’t so self-conscious about the weight he’s recently put on, maybe he could work up the nerve to make a move. However, not only is he a virgin who’s never done a scene before working in a BDSM club, but he’s also sure that Tai has a thing for Master Lucas. There’s no way he could ever compete with the handsome silver fox.
When Master Lucas confesses to Tai that he doesn’t only see him as a hookup and offers him a contract, there are a ton of considerations. They both realize that serious compromises would have to be made for them to have a relationship. But what if they found a third, a sub who could bottom for Tai and also do TPE with Master Lucas? Once the idea takes hold, Tai knows just the perfect boy for them both. Even better? He’s right there at Kiss of Leather, and Tai can’t wait for Elliot to turn them all into a throuple.
Reader Advisory: This book contains a scene of assault, and attempted sexual assault.
Review: Master Lucas has his eye on bratty model Tai but Tai is not sure as Lucas only tops and he likes both ways. Lucas offers a contract and Tai counter offers for a third, Elliot. Elliot has a few issues of his own.
I thought it was cute the way Tai got tongue tied at times trying to talk to Elliot. Good thing Lucas does not have the same problem. These three men were hot together. I especially liked how Tai and Lucas took their time explaining things to Elliott as the story progressed.

Blurb: Cullen is love-shy after a disastrous relationship nearly killed him. But then he meets Louis and Doyle and is intrigued by the two goofball bear shifters, who don’t seem to take anything seriously…except they appear to be serious about him. Shy and sexy, his suitors show him what loving is all about.
The town of Sage, as always, is under siege. Fortress, Flashpoint, and now a mysterious Russian all want to take shots at the residents. When a good friend of the bears is killed in an apparent suicide, there’s a race to find out what happened and stop another catastrophe.
With so many enemies on the loose, Cullen, Louis, and Doyle are hard-pressed to figure out what’s going on and have to rely on the skills of their friends to help eliminate the danger that seems an ever-present reality of Sage.
Review: Another exciting addition to the spirits of sage series as enemies hit much closer to home with the help of one of the kids. Cullen finally get his happy ever after, though not without danger involved. His mates are sexy bear shifters.
One thing I love about this series is that each story has several things going on at once that all combine to give a fascinating read that draws you further into the community.
I love reading about each person and how they impact or fit in the group. Such a diverse group and tightly knit. I am looking forward to seeing hat else happens in this series.

Blurb: Craig Mason is a rookie when it comes to loving, and the task of being mated to four sexy warriors is daunting…but he’s certainly up for the challenge. He finds himself embroiled in the delights of the claiming game–and then all hell breaks loose.
The Ruin Pack want supremacy and are prepared to go to any lengths to get it. Craig’s mates, Alpha Amos, Zane Finch, Brady Garnet, and Alfie Blaze are all Special Forces soldiers, and their duty is to protect their beloved heart, Craig, a special wolf shifter who possesses gifts that will unite the packs…only the ruling clans are against it, wanting power for themselves.
Craig is determined that he and his pack live in peace, not war. Alpha Amos Hartland must take a stand against Arnie Ruin, before his enemy exposes the shifter community and brings catastrophic consequences to their world. Can Craig’s healing powers stop the feud? Will love conquer all?
Note: This book contains double penetration and elements of FMF involve only secondary characters.
Review: I really enjoyed reading about Craig, Amos, Finch, Blaze and Garnet. The guys were seriously bad ass. Tough as nails and not afraid to fight for what is right. Danger comes in many forms to the group. Power hungry alphas tear down and abuse pack members at their leisure. On top of that the group learns of a facility were people are taken never to be seen again.
This was a great beginning to a new series. I was disappointed in the two m/f/f scenes in it as I’m an m/m reader. But aside from that it was a gripping tale of love, betrayal, deceit, mystery and suspense. This story had me on the edge of my seat.
But I do wonder what happened to Sharpie. He was mentioned several times as one of the people taken yet there was no mention of him being one that was rescued or that died, so I’m curious as to what happened to him on that island.

Fighting For You
(Lifesworn 02)

All Penli wants to be is left alone. After nearly a decade of blood and violence, and a lifetime of enduring his cold, ambitious family, it’s almost a relief to be practically alone in the middle of a desert kingdom with no way to return home because of the warrant out for his arrest.
The very last thing he needs is to be consumed by a fit of honor and nobility—but he would much rather die than ever see the two sweet, intriguing men who cross his path forced apart, one to be thrown to the streets, the other to marry a malicious bully Penli has despised for years.
Though he means only to free them, having no desire to marry after barely escaping one unwanted marriage, with each passing day Penli fears the only thing more difficult than throwing his life away will be resisting the urge to build a new one with two men he barely knows.

Out of Focus

For the last twelve years, Ryan “Angel” Morgan and Dante James have been partners in every sense of the word. They’re lovers, they run a successful photography business together, and couldn’t be happier. The only problem? They’re both dominants who crave submission. Solution? Bring in submissives for sizzling hot threeway action.
When Jordan Steele hires the photographers from his sister’s wedding to shoot some promo pictures of his stallions, the sparks fly. There’s something about them, something that’s anything but vanilla, and he wants a taste of it. He’s inexperienced, but curious, and Angel and Dante are more than happy to show him the ropes.
Jordan is exactly what they need and they’re exactly what he needs, but when emotions come into play, he may be more than they bargained for. After all, the one thing Angel and Dante can’t give each other is submission. If one of them can get love and submission from Jordan, will the other be pushed out of the picture?
Blurb: As far as Liam Lamont’s concerned, life sucks. His mate disappeared without a backward glance, he spends most of his time drunk and he has the worst case of blue balls in existence. Fighting his lion form is tiring and if it wasn’t for his brother Lucien, and the rest of the pack at Ra’s, he’d probably run off into the wilderness and never be seen again.
But even if life had thrown Liam a massive curve ball, the Fates hadn’t forgotten him. One night a mysterious stranger offers to buy Liam a drink and Liam starts to feel a glimmer of hope. But Theo, the mate who walked away, is still lurking in Liam’s heart and when faced with a second mate, Liam had no choice but to tell his new mate about Theo and give him a choice.
Beau Ferris had been told his whole life he would have two mates. All his kind did. His father warned him never to go after one until his pair already claimed each other. But when Beau’s animal spirit warns him of Liam’s despair and Theo’s anger, he couldn’t stay away. When he meets Liam he’s given a shocking choice – Liam or Theo – he can’t have both.
Stubborn shifters, a gorgeous fae toddler with magic flowing from her fingertips, demons, wolves, and even a visit from the Fates; Beau and Liam have to fight through fire before they get their third and the HEA they both dreamed of. But will it be enough.
Review:Each book in the Arrowtown collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and cross over characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.
Liam’s mate Theo rejected their bond and was quite nasty about it. It seems Theo didn’t believe that true mates existed. There were signs that something was desperately wrong with Theo, but it isn’t until Liam’s other mate showed up. Liam didn’t even know he had a third, but stranger things do happen.
Beau is a phoenix shifter and there were rules. One of the rules is not to look for his mates until they have already met, but something was telling him to go now. What he finds out, shocks him. But not as much as Theo’s reaction. Magic is spilling out, and there are some dark secrets. Fates have a big surprise in store for Beau and Liam, but if you must know read the book. It will surprise you, and in the best ways.
I wasn’t sure if this story was going to have a happily ever after to it, but damn if it didn’t give me a big shock. Not as big a shock as Beau was going to get, but pretty sweet. I did like the sweet and sexy third to the book. It caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. I love how this author threw in demon possession, that was a nice twist that ended in the best way. Trent was sexy and sweet as hell, a real big plus to this story. Lisa’s stories are getting better each and every time.
It has a serious tone to it, but there is some humor to be found in it. I will admit that you should go back and read book one first once more, because the characters are all tossed around. I can’t wait to see Luke and Lucien’s story. I felt a little bad for the rabbit though, he really needs to get a job, but damn if he doesn’t know how to use his assets. I had a lot of fun reading it and can’t wait to read the next book.
