Blurb: The competition is on when two sexy players set their sights on one woman who has no intention of being anyone’s prize. Will the ultimate challenge be true love?

With too many relationships ending in heartache under her belt, the new and improved Symone Adams is loud, proud and on the prowl. She has removed the heart she’s normally worn on her sleeve and tucked it safely under lock and key. What she wants now is to explore the appeal of meaningless, mind-blowing sex. After six months of self-imposed celibacy hell, she heads to Menjo’s and directly into the path of two very determined players.

Zander and Marco are pros when it comes to seduction, yet each has grown bored with their conquests. When these two strangers set their sights on the same stunning beauty, the competition is on. Both embark on a full balls-to-the-wall effort to win not only Symone’s body, but her heart as well.

What none of them can predict, though, is where their chance encounter will take them, especially Marco and Zander. While the men focus on winning Symone, it’s the electricity arcing in the air between them that will be the real challenge.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Simone is tired of being cheated on and has decided to give up on relationships after catching her last boyfriend having sex with another woman. After six months of getting over its time, she decides to get on with her life and goes out with her friend. She meets not one but two gorgeous men. Either could be the man of her dreams. Zander is tall, lean and with dark hair and dark eyes. Marco, more compact, muscular and blond. Both men want her bad enough to fight for her. She decides, why choose?

I will just say this story is full of sex. It is well-written but pretty explicit. The story is the competition between Zander and Marco to try to win Symone’s heart. They each do some very romantic things to get her attention. I did think it hot that they decided instead of one give up they both hung in there even when she led them into sex together with her, both men are straight.

If you like lots of sex and multiple partners, this is for you. I am looking forward to the next book to see how this relationship develops.

Blurb: Know when to show your hand…and when to hedge your bets.

Randy Jensen can’t stand to just sit by and watch as a mysterious man throws money away on the roulette wheel, especially since Randy’s got his own bet going as to the reason this guy is making every play like it’s his last day on earth. The man’s dark desperation hits Randy right in the gut. Half of him warns that getting involved is a sucker’s bet, and the other half scrambles for a reason—any reason—to save the man’s soul.

Ethan Ellison has no idea what he’s going to do with himself once his last dollar is gone—until Randy whirls into his life with a heart-stealing smile and a poker player’s gaze that sees too much.
Randy draws Ethan into a series of wagers that leads to a scorching kiss by midnight, but he isn’t the only one with an interest in Ethan’s vulnerability. Soon they’re both taking risks that not only play fast and loose with the law, but with the biggest prize of all: their hearts.

This book has been previously published and has been revised from its original release.

Warning: This story contains high-stakes poker, gangsters with a weakness for kittens, foursomes, and kinky consensual sex.

Reviewer: GiGi

Review: This is a perfect second installment in the Special Delivery Series! I absolutely fell for Randy in Special Delivery and knew that spitfire of a man needed his HEA, I just wasn’t sure how, or who would pull that amazing feat off. Double Blind lets us get to know Randy in a different way, and for a while apart from Sam and Mitch. But don’t worry. This just wouldn’t work without the lovely newly married couple and a fun foursome!

Randy shows his submissive, yet assertive side, his hostess skills, and his heart in this sexy story. He takes a risk on a defeated heart, by laying out all his cards for Ethan Ellison. Ethan is the perfect angry, wounded man, in need of a wake-me-up experience and Randy surely gives it to him in the form of risky business and hi-octane sex.

As Randy teaches Ethan the skills he employs in his night job, that of card shark, he begins to see the strength in him come shining through. Problem is Ethan doesn’t trust, not the people he works for, not the stability of the job, and not that he would have a future with Randy. Thanks to some of Randy’s close and critically important friends, Sam and Mitch, Ethan begins to loosen up, see what a home could be, and trust.

While Ethan is regaining his confidence, Randy begins to worry he’s gotten too big for his britches and may get into deep trouble with the casino and the retired gangster he initially sought out for help. But when all seems to be tumbling down around them both, Sam, Mitch and the rest of the gang come together to lay it all down and gamble on a new future. Will it work, or will all be lost? You’ll just have to read and find out.

This book is fun, fast paced, hot and kinky, yet soft and sweet as a baby kitten. Hearts are broken and mended, and lives are saved and rebuilt! This whole series is a winner in my book!

Blurb: When secret service becomes not so secret servicing by not one, but two sexy soldiers, Ken learns that dreams can come true in explosive style!

Waiting for my SAS husband Jack to come home safe and sound is always a gut-wrenching, heart-twisting time. I have no idea where he is, what jungle swamp he may be lying out in or desert he might be marching across.

So naturally, when he returns to me, our emotions can’t fail to run hot and our lust for each other cranks up to sky-high levels. But the one thing about Jack is he lives for the extreme and seizes the moment. I really should have known what would come of me telling him my wildest fantasies.

Oh, yes, he’s a guy who gets results…and when he brings home his colleague Slider, equally tough, equally rough, the pair of them can’t fail to hit the target. That target happens to be lucky old me and I head off on the ride of my life…

Reader Advisory: This book contains D/s elements and a MMM ménage.

Review: A sexy little ménage story about a twink/sub and his Dom lover who decide to add a little spice to their love life by bringing in a third.

Ken is perfectly happy in his life with his long-term, live in boyfriend Jack. Ken is a submissive and Jack is his dominate. Every aspect of their relationship is mutual, including the decision to add something new. During his birthday Ken shares with Jack that it would be a dream come true to add a third lover to their mix. And Jack will do anything to make his man happy.
When Jack comes home from his latest mission with his colleague Slider in tow, Ken has no idea that his birthday wish is about to come true. After the threesome finish the dinner Ken prepared for Jack’s coming home, Slider and Jack decide they are ready for desert, and Ken is looking very appetizing to them.

This is a short on the lighter side of BDSM. Jack is an obvious Dom, as is Slider, but neither of them do anything abusive to Ken. It’s more in the wording of the story and the actual sex, the way it’s written and conveyed. Harlem did a great job of conveying the love between the two ML even with so few pages. You can tell that even though Slider is a welcome addition to this particular evening and fantasy, Jack and Ken are committed to each other and Jack is very protective of his sub. That aspect of the story was kind of adorable.

This would be the perfect dirty, sexy story to make your lunch hour fly by with that dash of romance for desert!

Blurb: In this sequel to the best-selling novel, The Oasis, Elias and Josh are celebrating their first anniversary. When Elias’s baby mama, Carina, takes their son, Julio, to the Disney resort in Hawaii, Josh urges Elias to organize a romantic vacation in Palm Springs. He wants some place private and cozy, and he wants to invite gay porn star, Samuel Colt, since they did promise the guy an anniversary threesome.

And then… disaster. From the start, everything goes wrong. The lakeside house Elias booked turns out to be a creepy, clapped-out, wreck of a trailer. He also has bigger worries. He can’t get Carina to return his calls. What is going on with her and why is Elias’s mom hiding in Carina’s hotel room closet? Why did Carina’s new boyfriend give Julio a weird animal for a birthday gift and why has some lunatic targeted Josh and Elias when this is supposed to be a fun-filled holiday weekend? And, uh-oh. Look who just showed up. Samuel Colt, looking less than impressed with the vacation house from hell…

Review: Once again, I was swept away by the beauty that was AJ Llewellyn’s writing. The book was so addictive. So amazing, I couldn’t get enough of it.

Elias and Josh want nothing more than some time alone together. When their buddy Samuel gives them a call asking if they could get together for another threesome, Elias wants nothing more than to deal with the drama around him. But when Carina comes into town, he lets his son see her mother and spend some time with her thinking nothing is going on behind his back. He sets up the vacation and heads out knowing his son will be watched over…even if it isn’t by good hands. God only knows where those nasty hands of Carina’s have been.

But when he finds out she’s in a sex ring while he’s on vacation, his mind is blown. Even after he finds out her boyfriend is bisexual and is getting services from his friend Samuel.

In a complex story of twists and turns, love always prevails. And it still does with this book. I found myself mesmerized from page one and couldn’t wait to find out more. It is so addicting you’ll crave another volume of AJ’s work.

I would highly recommend this to anyone that has read the first one. Trust me. You won’t regret it.

Zane and Kross have traveled across the galaxy to find their human mate. They’ve been searching for years, so when they find Caleb, they’re beyond thrilled. One thing they didn’t plan on was his reluctance to their abduction. But they won’t leave Earth without their human.

Caleb soon realizes he has nothing of value left on Earth. His gorgeous alien captors promise him love, excitement, and the best sex he’s ever had. Somewhere along the way to their planet, he decides their new ménage relationship is actually a blessing in disguise.

Review: I never really cared for short stories and novella’s. But this book was really cute. It caught my attention from the very start and kept my attention to the end.

Caleb use to love his small fishing town till the alien sightings brought more attention then it needed. Everyone from everywhere was visiting and Caleb was getting to the point of hatred. Then two very hot and sexy men drag his cute butt onto their spacecraft claiming to be his mates. Caleb is a cutie with a heart of gold and a love that is about to find its way out. Zane and Kross are hot, sexy and have bodies to die for. They want their mate and will do everything in their powers to keep him. He was beginning to wonder and ponder their lives together. However, he really was reluctant to go with them. However, they do find a way to change his mind, and trust me his mind was rocked. The excitement and passion over whelmed him.

The sex was hot and set the sheets on fire. I really wish there was more to this story however, because it was majorly hot. I love it and cannot wait to read it again.

Reviewer:   GiGi

Review: So much to balance, so many changes are coming quick for our newly formed threesome. Insecurities abound, mainly those of Jack’s: insecure in his job, his place alongside Gray, his goals for the future…all of these things are in limbo, distracting Jack on the job, and getting him hurt, causing him to fall into a dark depression. But hope and inspiration are around the corner in the form of a teen at a youth shelter in need of a mentor.

Jack winds up learning more from that young man than it seems. Maybe giving him a new goal, and a new understanding of how important his relationship with Gray and Mason are. That Jack should not be afraid to stand proud for who he loves and what he finds truly important.

Among all these unsettling developments, are plenty of sexual frustrations, steamy scenes, and adventures…Fitting In… has a completely sexual meaning!!!

Making room for two children in a busy household won’t be easy, but leave it to Nate, Ryan and Rio to do it with plenty of laughter and tears along the way.

At the age of eighteen, Nate Gills was forced out of his family for being gay. With hush money in his pocket and anger in his heart, Nate fled Washington DC for Chicago to start a new life. Although he eventually found love with two wonderful men, he buried his feelings of abandonment behind a façade of confidence.

When a horrific accident takes the lives of his younger brother and sister-in-law, Nate is forced to revisit the emotions he’d worked so hard to bury. In a twist of fate, Nate is named guardian of a niece and nephew he’s never met, putting him into direct conflict with the father who shunned him so many years earlier.

Will the threesome who have spent years enjoying sexual pleasure whenever and wherever the mood struck, be able to adjust to having two children in the house? Or will they lose their relationship along the way?

Review: This is book 30 in this series. Trust me this is my first one, and it stood alone perfectly. But, I sure do want to read them all. I just have to figure how to find the time since if they are like this one, you won’t want to put the book down once you start. Then you will want to read the next one. So, perhaps a week of reading vacation is in order.

Nate gets word that his brother and sister-in-law both die in a plane crash and that his sister-in-law has named him as guardian of their kids and estate. This opens some old wounds that Nate had let fester over and buried.  Being in a three-man relationship with two very different types of lovers can they survive bringing two young children into the fold and can Nate deal with the reopening of old wounds at the same time?

Oh wow, is this book awesome! I loved all the characters, main and supporting and can’t wait to get hold of this entire series to learn more about each of them. I found Nate, Rio and Ryan extremely intriguing and the small hints of their past made me really want to read the rest of these books.  But for now, I will focus on the present with these men.

I found this one of the best three men ménages I’ve read in a while. It doesn’t seem to focus on one person, yet it doesn’t seem overly easy, and shows a twinge of jealousy and real emotions. They have been together long enough to know each other’s quirks and needs.  They break off into pairs and make love; not always just the three, they change positions, and they do things alone, all of this made it feel more real for me.

I liked how it did cover all three men’s viewpoints and didn’t feel too jumpy and it showed the kids feelings and emotions also. I did think the kids accepted things a bit too easily, but Hannah not being super accepting helped there. I also liked that Ryan voiced his opinions and fears to Rio that he really didn’t want kids, but he wanted to try to make their relationship work. I loved the realism and realistic feelings, while still very sexy and hot. Speaking of hot, some of these sex scenes you need a fire extinguisher they are so hot, yet very tasteful. Kudos to the author for that!

I can’t think of a thing I didn’t like or would want different. This is definitely my kind of book, loving, heartfelt, emotional, yet real enough to be believable and extremely hot and sexy and tasteful.

I recommend this if you like long series, different characters, cowboys (yippee), mayors, sheriffs, (ah, men in uniforms) children, loving relationships, ménage and very hot sensual tasteful mansex.

Reviewer:   GiGi

Review: Sean Michael has quite a range of writing, and this one fits under the fun, almost fantasy stories of BDSM ménages. Where men who like to get their kink on build a family of sorts.

I have read a lot of Michael’s work, but not the first three books to this series, so I may not be giving the best impression. The book seems a bit shallow at times, all very playful, kinky of course, but not terribly realistic. However, the strong point about this book is in the support that Knight’s chosen family gives him through his rehabilitation and depression. In that, Helpmate is a tale of being there through sickness and in health, supporting your lover with kindness and tough love both.

Turns out the polyamory is not what Knight needs right away. His feelings of separation, depression, and inadequacy can best be healed by some one on one time with the original man in his life, and that means Bishop needs to take him away for some emotional healing, followed up by Jason’s insistence on the physical therapy leading to his body’s healing. Only once Knight has been healed can he let himself feel part of the pack.

Light reading, and probably best to read the series in order!

Review: I normally love ménage, and while this was a fun one to read when it came down to it, it wasn’t as engaging.

We have two characters that are 40 and 35 years old. That alone would have me read it with more enthusiasm, as I do love mature couples; however, they didn’t quite make me feel their age. There were times that I thought that their behavior was mostly that of people on their late twenties. The chemistry between the two was also nonexistent and it failed to make me get into them as much. As the main couple failed that, so did the trio when they met. The whole situation had a feeling as if the entire plot was worked around their threesome rather than the other way around.

So in the end as much as the read was not bad, it was something I went all crazy for or even got enthralled with, but if you like a nice, fast ménage story, then you might want to give it a try.

Review: So we have Bay, who tends the bar in a BDSM club but for all intents and purposes is a submissive virgin wannabe, and then Jai enters the picture one night. Bay, who is looking for a Dom, picks up Jai is also seems rather submissive, they hit it off for dinner and make desert of it later. When Storm, the big daddy Dom enters the picture they take things a step at a time in the sexual encounter direction, but by their second ménage, they are already claiming love. Really. There’s lots of spanking, wanking, and blowing, even some fun piercing, but that’s all I can say for the book. If you’re looking for some lighthearted, lightweight BDSM ménage reading, this has some. Other than that, nothing deeper happening here.

Reviewer:  Patrick

Review:  This story between Jack, Brady and Simon is beautifully written and presented. Long-time couple, Brady and Simon, meet Jack at a local club, and lust is born that turns into something else before the night is even over. A lot of people might see a three person relationship (polyamory) as wrong, but love is love, and what gives anyone else the right to say who you can or cannot love? I love the fact that neither of the two men make Jack feel like he is a third wheel, and enable him to join them without feeling guilty, though in the beginning he feels a bit insecure. He has a hard time believing either of these two men can genuinely like him, much less allow love to bloom for them. The sex is incredibly delicious and done with taste and no jealousy. A polyamorous relationship soon evolves, and in the end they all realize it was already there from basically the moment they met. As Jack helps each of the two men weather a crisis in their professional lives, there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that this is exactly where all three men need to be; in each other’s arms for the rest of eternity, as a unit.

Blurb: Rubbing a toppy sub, a submissive Top and a Dom with attitude together is guaranteed to send sparks flying — but what will they ignite?

Meet Tyler Kane. Ballsy and headstrong, he’s far from being the submissive type. Francis Hollister, Dom and proud owner of a BDSM club, couldn’t agree more — and yet, as Tyler carelessly suggests a bet, Francis sees an opportunity arise and decides to take him up on it.

Soon Tyler finds himself in Francis’ club and about to be trained as a sub. When Shae, the gorgeous Top Francis has assigned to teach him, doesn’t appear to be quite as dominant as his role would lead to believe and Francis turns out to be a rather versatile Dom, Tyler sees a perfect match just waiting to be made happen. Too bad though that he’s the only one who sees it. Or maybe he isn’t?

Curious to find out what happens when you rub a submissive Top, a toppy sub and a Dom with attitude together and what exactly the sparks from that explosive combination ignite, Tyler enlists the help of Pierce, Francis’ brother, and his partner Noah, and sets out on a mission.

While Tyler’s plan seems to work out astonishingly well, it seems that there’s more than one man in the club who is pursuing a hidden agenda…

Review: I absolutely loved this book, but if I ever had trouble writing a review then this is the one. I frankly don’t know where to start, how to continue and were to finish. That is perhaps due to the fact that this is a very complicated story in its simplicity. The complication comes to the fact that there is not one couple to focus on rather than triangles and couples within couples and… Oh! Let’s start with the main hero the way I see it.

Tyler is an ordinary guy, a car salesman who is at the moment in London for work. His sex life? Pretty vanilla. That all changes when he meets Francis, a Dom if ever there was one. Somehow Tyler manages to insult Francis’s lifestyle and in return Francis tells Tyler that he wouldn’t last a day in his world. That’s all it takes and Tyler finds himself in a situation where he willingly will submit for a month…

I think in this book the most straightforward character was Tyler, he’s that plain old good guy, with a heart made of gold and a strong sense of friendship. That “I can’t stand people suffering out of stupidity” kind of guy who tries to make thing better for all the people around him. It’s easy to love this character, it’s easy to follow him around and it’s easy to understand his motives. Even the stupid decision of getting himself into sub-training when he clearly isn’t one. J

Next comes Shae, a deeply submissive guy. Shae doesn’t “play” the sub part; Shae is a sub through and through. Unfortunately, a scene gone awfully wrong left Shae shattered, taking away his trust and leaving him incapable to submit. He then is offered the role of a “service Top” at the club and ends in training Tyler on how to be a proper sub… Get the picture? The role reverse is pretty wicked in my humble opinion and the author pulled that off astonishingly well. Shae’s submissive nature collides with Tyler’s domineering nature and the results are fascinating to say at least.

Now Francis is the club owner. He’s the first Dom to train Shae. The two of them go way back and their relationship is clearly deeper than they let on. Francis has tried hard to help Shae overcome his trauma and find himself again, with no results. However, he does not let go so easily. In the story, one would think that Francis is the character that hides the most, and then you’d get confused and think that he’s pretty transparent, and then you’d go back and change your mind again…

There is one thing I can definitely say about this book. It kept me on my toes and in anticipation for the entire duration. For me this book is one of the best to show the different faces of “BDSM”. A perfect example that you cannot label anything, a thing may have lots of meanings and in the end nothing can be generalized as we are all unique and tick differently.

This book is also very, very entertaining if you’re into “BDSM”. I loved all the scenes, I loved looking at them from Tyler’s perspective, I loved looking at them from Shae’s perspective and hell, Francis point of view was thrillingly hot. Their chemistry worked so well for me. I was enchanted with how the trio worked together and I wish there was more to it, it felt it ended too soon for me. Yes, I’m insatiable.

The beauty of this novel was that it was in the end a wonderful love story, a story of friendship and of life with the most unexpected twist. Talk about hidden agendas alright and lessons to be learned. I truly believe that even if you’re not into BDSM you will like this book and if you are into it, then you’ll adore it. Definitely recommended.

Blurb: The last thing Pauly expects during a simple night out is to wind up embroiled in a cab chase. Then again, if something weird happens, it made sense that it would happen to him. He can only count himself lucky that his cab driver is smart, attractive, and seems to like him, even with the drama.

Being involved in a situation that requires police attention isn’t something Randy’s ever aspired to, but he can’t resent it when it’s brings Pauly into his life. Pauly’s just about perfect, as far as Randy can tell, but that means he’s unlikely to be interested in anything more than friendship with a guy like Randy. That’s better than nothing, right?

James isn’t looking for a relationship. He’s not even looking for a ‘friends with benefits’ arrangement. That’s why he finds his obsession with two guys he picks up in a bar so bizarre. He’s too busy for love, of course, but becoming friends with the two men somehow leads to wanting things he shouldn’t. Even more complicated is the fact that he can’t seem to decide which of them he’s more interested in — the stunningly hot Pauly or the more quietly attractive Randy.

All three men have decisions to make, and choices to face, not an easy task. There’s no way the three of them could ever build a relationship together… is there?

Review: This was a cute look into the complications of three-way love. I won’t say threesome because this was so much more and that’s what I liked about it. You know me, I’m hopeless when it comes to a good juicy true heartfelt love, so add a second person, oh yeah, and I was hooked.  All three characters were so well-developed you couldn’t help but feel each one’s thoughts and feelings.

The story started with Pauly telling his story to a friend and the other two came out and joined them. Then it almost lost me when it went back to Pauly, before he met James and Randy. But, I finally figured out he was telling the story.  He was in a bar and some dude was hitting on him too aggressively, so he split. He caught a cab but the other guy caught one also. A chase ensued. The cab driver was watching him in the mirror and figured out there was a problem, called the other cab found out there was a real problem and called 911.   The next morning, Randy, the cab driver, woke on a strange couch; he had stayed at Pauly’s. They become friends. The 911 operator had felt a pull to the two men in the cab and worried. He goes to a gay bar and sees two men dancing provocatively and was just entranced. The next morning Pauly wakes up, naked in bed with two men, and can’t remember what was going on. So he ran home. Pauly is a trouble magnet, Randy is insecure about his looks and James isn’t use to relationships. So, is this the beginning of a beautiful three-way romance? Or does one choose one over the other? How can three men love each other? Well, get the book and see.

Recommendations:  I recommend this book to anyone that loves a good fun light-hearted romance, threesomes, and nice hot romance and fairies and craft fairs. (You’ve got to get the book, just to read this part it’s hilarious!!)

Review: Shane, Joel and Will are back and they face more than they ever realized. James Petrov is calling out to Shane trying to lead him to a trap; can Shane save his coven, James, Dr Obenweiser and Laurence before it’s too late?

This is a quite well written book with a great story-line and plot. This continuing story was great as we saw Shane discover new powers and become stronger with the love of his coven; embarking on an adventure that was fraught with danger and overcome obstacles with his coven’s love when it looked like all was lost.

Mark Alders definitely has a keen imagination and I love how he has his men undressed most of the time. The characters are still wonderful with the three young men still sex mad (thank god) and I love how even though there is a lot (and I mean a lot) of sex it is an integral part of the story and wouldn’t work without it… No I am not making it up or making excuses it really IS necessary to have that much sex… Honest. The adventure in this one is great and I think most people will like it. No, I won’t give you any hints but I will tell you that Dr Obenweiser joins them on this adventure but he won’t be quite as helpful as they had all hoped!

So great characters, great story-line and plot, fantastic magic, lots and lots of hot sex, a good adventure and a happy for now ending… really what more could you ask for?

 

 

 

Sing for your Supper by Jaime Samms

Title: Sing For Your Supper

Author: Jaime Samms

Genre: Cowboy/Western, M/M, M/M/M

Length: Novella (68pgs)

Publisher: Total E-Bound (15th August 2011)

Heat Level: Explicit

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥4Hearts

Blurb: Hunger can drive a man to do just about anything in order to satisfy it, but when it’s hunger of the heart, will past relationships keep three men wanting more?

Taylor has left home, chased out by his family because he’s gay, and pursued across the prairies by the man who violently assaulted him in his own home. Now he’s homeless, friendless and using his charm and skills learned on his knees before his father’s farm hands to pay for his meals.

Matt sees something more than a desperate whore in the young rancher who comes to his diner in hopes a quick blow job will buy him a meal. He sees past Taylor’s current circumstances to a man who just needs a clean break.

Matt sends Taylor off to his friend Jim’s ranch hoping the older man will see the same things in Taylor and give him the opportunity to start over. No one expects the visceral attraction between the rancher and his new hire.

When Taylor’s past catches up to him, and he realizes he’s put both men in jeopardy just for trying to help him, he thinks maybe he deserves to be branded the fool he is.

Reader Advisory: This story has been previously released as part of the Saddle Up ‘N Ride anthology by Total-E-Bound

Review: Taylor is running from his past and for the past six months he’s had to do things he isn’t proud of to keep going.  He is reaching a breaking point when he meets Matt.  Matt owns a diner and he takes pity on Taylor sending him to the ranch of his friend Jim.   Jim takes Taylor on and when Taylor’s past catches up to him a few secrets are revealed.

At first, I didn’t see where this story was going but I was pleased with the unconventional storyline, Taylor’s fear and hopelessness comes across clearly, Matt seems easy-going but a bit of a riddle and we figure out something unsavory happened to him in the past and Jim is like a solid tree; standing tall and true for these two hurt men.

I really did enjoy this book and I am sure you will agree that this is not the usual type of relationship that we see in the m/m genre simply because it doesn’t follow the unspoken rules of what a happy ever after should be.

I will recommend this to anyone who loves complex men, complicated relationships, hot sex and an unconventional ending.
