Reviewer: Cat

Review: Matthew Miller is a sharpshooter. Jazz has ridden him hard since he arrived and they both seemed to hate each other until one-night Jazz strode into his place he shared with another team mate and asked for a kiss to help him forget his girlfriend that just broke up with him. This adds a new heat to their relationship that soon becomes much more.

Then one-day tragedy happens and the story takes on a new light as Matthew tries to find Jazz and ends up mixed up on a mission to save a marine where he finds a man that will not give his name. How does saving this man change his life? You must read to see and who is it? If you have already been a fan of this series, you may know, if not I can’t say without spoilers.

I think this is such a poignant story with so much action, drama and romance. I also loved the connection between the guys in the Texas Soul series and this.

I do suggest that you read this series in order; however this one is a lot about Matthew so I think you could follow it if you really wanted to.

If you love lots of drama, military, special ops, men with secrets, and some really hot romance you will love this.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: As we get older we realize things about ourselves that can be shocking. Sam sees the different relationship but the pure love between Greg, Chris and Liam. He realizes though he doesn’t really want two men he is ready to face facts he wants a real relationship. When he meets Hudson he finds out more and more about himself every time they are together.

This is a very good story about a man finding out he likes to give over control at home to someone else. He deals with so much on a daily basis being a leader, he likes to submit and have trust in someone else. I find this highly relatable.

This story feels like two books in one since we start out with the ménage of Greg, Chris and Liam with the abduction of Liam by his family. This is where Sam comes in since he is FBI. They all become good friends. Then you have the story of Hudson and Sam’s new relationship.

There is a touch of angst and drama with the ongoing story of Liam’s parent’s and Liam’s emotional problems. There are lots and lots of hot sex. Just a little bit too much for me.

If you like FBI agents, angst, ménage and a lot of hot man-sex this is definitely for you.

Narrator: Jason Frazier
Genre: Contemporary
Length: 6 hours and 2 minutes
Publisher: Sara York (04-17-15)
Heat Level: Moderate
Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥4.5 Hearts
Blurb: When he was a kid, Jack Miller thought life would be a certain way, then he figured out he liked boys and not girls, changing the course of his future. Jack has spent the last few years learning that life doesn’t always give you what you expect, in both good and bad ways.

Lost doesn’t even begin to describe how Andrew Collins feels. Homeless and destitute, he’s ready to end it all. Thinking that Jack is dead, Andrew returns to Sweet to end his life on Jack’s grave. Instead, he finds lies were told that drove him to a path of destruction.

Product Link: http://www.audible.com/pd/Fiction/My-Big-Fat-Southern-Gay-Wedding-Audiobook/B00W8FRA5I

Reviewer: Tams

Review: Andrew is finally out from under his abusive parent’s control, but his life is in a tail spin. You see, Andrew has not only hit rock bottom, he believes his soul died along with Jack, so he returns to Sweet one last time to say goodbye to his love. I swear, angels were rejoicing when these two were reunited but time apart and life’s hard knocks have left lasting marks on both young men, both body and soul.

Andrew is honest with Jack about where he has been and what he has done. And while Jack understands the limited choices Andrew had, there is still a sting when he thinks about his beloved being with anyone other than him. Jealously leads to discourse and trust issues and Jack often misunderstands a situation as the two of them try to navigate the mine field they now call life. It’s a long, hard road to recovery and happiness, but by god they both know they deserve and very much want their happy ever after.

It was hard for me to listen to the pain in Andrew’s voice when he was away from Jack. But you could also hear the understanding, pride and love under the pain. Andrew understood that Jack had to go to college and unfortunately it caused them to live apart for a while, but I love how York explained all those thoughts and internal conversations Andrew had with himself while they were apart. It really showed how he was growing as a person, determined to make lemonade out of the lemons life had dealt them.

Then you add in Frazier’s narration and it was the perfect blend of thought and sound, really bringing the characters to life.

Jack though, he did the most growing up in this installment. He’s now in college, has the love of his life back, his hateful father is out of the picture and yet, he’s still suffering. His thoughts betray his heart a lot while he struggles to come to terms with everything that has happened to him and Andrew.

Again, York not only shown the growth with her words, but she wrote it in such a way that it was completely different from following Andrew on his journey. Jack and Andrew are obviously soul-mates; they literally went to hell and back to be together. But they stand on their own as individuals as well.

I had one teensy issue with this installment of the series, Jack’s father, Nathanial. He does this complete 180, like stopping on a dime and reversing course in the blink of an eye. No, sorry, I do not buy it. That man is evil incarnate and makes my skin crawl. Kudos to Frazier for having the ability to capture so much vitriol and disdain with just a tone of voice for this character, and perhaps that is why I absolutely loath the man. I did, however, love the scene where Andrew has to face his parents and does it standing tall and proud with Jack by his side.

A Southern Thing is one of the most emotionally wrought series I’ve read. But for all the darkness in these stories, there is light, there is hope and most important, there is love. I encourage everyone to give this series a chance; I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. York’s writing is intense and emotional while bringing this story and these characters to life. And Frazier only amplifies the intensity and emotion by giving them a voice.

I highly recommend this series, it is a must read but it also must be read in order.

My Marine by LE Franks and Sara York

Title: My Marine
Series: part of the Semper Fidelis Anthology
Author: LE Franks & Sara York
Genre: Contemporary / Men in Uniform
Length: Short Story (49 pages)
Publisher: Totally Bound Publishing (May 22nd 2015)
Heat Level: Explicit
Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 3 ½ Hearts

Blurb: For a man who made his career in intelligence, falling for an Afghani national in the middle of a war zone wasn’t the smartest thing a Marine could do.

Marine Captain Sean Kelley loves his country and the men he serves with, but when he meets Akim, he’s tempted to throw it all away for the mysterious man. He knows better than to chase after a local, but repeat encounters culminating in a moment of passion leave him reeling—he’ll do almost anything to figure out how they can be together.

Akim Bijan has a secret of his own—one large enough to get more than just himself killed if it’s revealed. But from the moment he first lays eyes on the handsome Marine, he’s tempted to do just that rather than hide his growing attraction to the man. Being a translator allows him access to the base and he finds Sean alone one night. They take things farther than he ever intended. If only he could tell Sean everything, but his lips are sealed.

When tragedy strikes, Akim is afraid he’s lost Sean for good and he’s forced to make a decision that will change both their lives. Will love win—or will Sean and Akim be separated forever?

Publisher’s Note: This story has been previously released as part of the Semper Fidelis anthology by Totally Bound Publishing.

ISBN: 978-1-78430-602-1

Product Link: https://www.totallybound.com/my-marine

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This story has previously released as part of the Semper Fidelis Anthology by Totally Bound Publishing. I love a man in uniform and this one was pretty good. Although for me it was way too short to truly enjoy.

Sean Kelley is one sexy marine. He has always loved it, but working overseas sometimes sucks. Especially when he falls for a local. It would destroy everything if it gets out, but their one time together has left him wanting forever. Akim is Jordan’s undercover name. He wants to protect his marines, catch the one killing and get promoted. What he does not count in is one sexy marine and a hot night together. Then Sean gets injured and Jordan will do everything to be with his man.

I really got a kick out of reading this. It gives you sexy marines, men in uniforms, danger, excitement and suspense.

I would definitely recommend reading this.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: OVERALL: This is a very interesting, fun, sexy collection of stories. Unlike some anthologies you only have three stories so you get more detail and characterization than in some Anthologies packed full of short stories.

Blurb: Some dream of fame and fortune, but it isn’t always everything one might think it will be. It doesn’t matter what entertainment industry you’re in, you have to sacrifice, and when it comes to love, well that brings on a million other issues.

Inside you’ll find three stories about men in the limelight. They worked hard to gain the fame they’ve found, but in doing so, they all have longed for one thing — Love. Some things might come easy for these men, but when it comes to sharing their hearts, things are never simple and either are the men they desire.

Time Gone By by E.M. Leya ♥♥♥♥ 4 Hearts
Jon is one of the biggest names in Hollywood. The fame and fortune he has is like nothing he ever imagined, but he left behind the only man he’d ever loved to achieve it.

Wyatt thought he’d put the past behind him and moved on, focusing on his career as he hides the truth about himself from those who are closest to him. Why should he risk his family and friends with being honest when his only reason left town six years ago?

When fate throws the two men together again, they are forced to confront things from the past that they both don’t want to admit, but the passion and desire for each other is stronger than ever, proving that no matter how much time has gone by, the heart knows what it wants.

Jon has made it big in Hollywood but even all his fame and fortune hasn’t made him happy. Deep down he still longs for the man he left behind 6 years ago. He throws himself into his work until he gets an emergency call from home that his dad is dying. When he arrives he finds the Wyatt the man he left behind and the reason he rarely comes home to be the nurse on charge.

This is an absolutely beautiful story! It really started out so good then sort of lagged a bit in the middle. The ‘I love yous’ became very overused and monotonous, otherwise this would have been a 5 Heart story.

The love these men still held over the years was priceless! It’s the type of love we all dream of!
Suck This, Neil Patrick Harris by H.L. Holston & Eleanor Bruce ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts

Dante Moretti has a big problem. His acting career has hit the skids and he’s desperate to land the lead role in the next Hollywood blockbuster. It’s his last chance to get back on the superstar track.

But, his personal life is a train wreck. No sane director will work with him any longer. Solution? Bribe his best friend and former co-star, Chris Parker to play the role of his long-term boyfriend. Showing the world he’s in a committed relationship will hopefully convince casting agents he’s reformed, stable and trustworthy.
Even if it’s a lie.

What Dante doesn’t count on is the public’s reaction to the announcement that Chris and he are a couple…and his own feelings for Chris spiraling out of control.

Under the merciless cameras of the paparazzi, Dante is forced to choose–his leading man status or the man he thought was just his best friend. Who ever thought that pretending to be in love would be this hard?

Oh wow was this an unexpected gem! The title did nothing for me until I saw the relevance. This story had me laughing and praying for these two men to get together.

Dante had a run in acting and is trying to get a big part. He overhears that his reputation as a bad boy is going to keep him from it. It goes home and enlists his best friend and roommate to be his fake boyfriend. Chris is straight. But he finally lets Dante talk him into this crazy scheme.

There is twist after twist, as thing go good or bad for them. I absolutely loved this story and these men! I highly recommend reading this story, especially if looking for a fast fun and very sexy read!

Center Stage by Sara York ♥♥♥♥4 Hearts
Country music is Slade Pepper’s first love and he can’t walk away from the stage, but being gay and in country music doesn’t allow him to have a personal life. Slade takes the month off to decompress and search his soul. He meets Corbin Branford and can’t say no to a passion filled night.

One night turns into more, but Corbin has no idea who Slade is, and Slade tries to keep it that way…until a fan blows his cover. Corbin is angry enough to leave, but Slade Pepper won’t give up without a fight.

Slade is a very famous country music singer and in his business being gay could be a career wrecker. After years of being on the road adored by fans, not able to go anywhere or do anything on his own or have a real relationship, he is close to burnout. He goes to a remote town beach town and meets Corbin, the owner of a small bar and grill, near the cabin he is staying in. They hit it off immediately. The only way for Slade to have a relationship would be to come out. Is he ready for that? Is Corbin up to all the publicity and also ready to be outed?

This is also a very good story. I loved both Slade and Corbin. I loved how Sara showed us Slade’s busy life and his softer side with his fans. I also liked the comradery and ease Corbin and Slade fell together. Of course Sara writes some really steamy sex scenes!

Overall, this is a very great book. You can read all at once or in sections to fill time. I highly recommend this book and that you read all three stories as they were all awesome!

If you’re like movie stars, country singers, lost love found, new love beginning, and some very hot man-sex this is definitely for you!

Review: Jens is in Boston for a writer’s convention and decides to stay at a friend’s rental for a few days instead of a hotel for the ambience. When he arrives, he finds a naked man emerging form the bathroom.

Elliot is a friend of Adam’s, Jen’s friend’s partner. Evidently, the two men didn’t communicate when renting out the room. With a huge snow storm approaching the two men decide to share the room and hit it off really well.

I have to say I expected more from this story. We were told that Jens was a writer and had a boyfriend that never answers his calls and that’s it. I would have liked more about Elliot, who he was and why he had such low self-esteem. I would have liked more conflict and more about the blizzard.

Having said that, the story is well written, the sex scenes were very hot and the ending very satisfying.
If you like, blizzards, writers, insta-love, and lots of hot mansex this is for you!

Blurb: Grady Madison thinks his goofy clown suit is a huge turn off for the hot bear, Paul Sessa. But sometimes goofy is more appealing than suave.

When Grady Madison was forced out of the closet, he thought his life would change for the worse, but he soon realizes he can date men without having to hide it from his co-workers. Attraction fires when he runs into Paul Sessa, filling him with fiery hot desire. Taking things slow is the plan, until they wind up with pants around their ankles before their first real date.

Paul Sessa wants a man of his own and not just another hook-up. But, that guy has to pass his daughter’s scrutiny, and she’s one smart cookie.

Purchase Link: MLR Press: http://www.mlrbooks.com/ShowBook.php?book=SY_FFFET

Review: Grady is at a function dressed as a clown. He likes children and hopes to have some someday, but first he has to find the perfect man. He is tired of hook-ups and has recently come out.

Paul is at the function with his daughter Madeleine. He has recently relocated from Hollywood to there and opened an Italian restaurant. He has had many secret lovers, even some very wealthy ones and stars, but he longs to have a life partner to settle down and be a family. His wife and daughter support him and want him to be happy.

This story had a great idea going. I just felt it was very rushed. I would’ve loved more back-story on Grady and more about him being a fireman, as the title alluded to. The only thing about his job was the thing they were hosting the day he met Paul. I also don’t mind Insta love but I felt it was too instant. It went from meeting to talk of marriage in what seemed like just days to me.

Having said that, I still absolutely loved the story. The characters were awesome. I love chefs and firemen. I loved that Paul wanted someone he could bring home to daughter, I adored Madeleine and I liked that his ex-supported him and let him be a part of his daughter’s raising.

If you like hot firemen, sexy chefs, cute kids, fast-paced stories, instalove and some very hot man-sex this is for you!

Andrew’s gone missing and Jack’s parents have split. He’s made it through high school, but the future is nothing without Andrew. To be complete, Jack knows he needs to find Andrew and bring him home. But Andrew has disappeared.
Lost doesn’t even begin to describe how Andrew Collins feels. Homeless and destitute, he’s ready to end it all. Thinking that Jack is dead, Andrew returns to Sweet to end his life on Jack’s grave. Instead, he finds lies were told that drove him to a path of destruction.

After not seeing each other for almost a year, Jack and Andrew come together, but their problems don’t end there. They must work hard to make it to their big fat Southern gay wedding or risk losing it all.

Review: This is the third and final book of this story. If you haven’t read the first two, I suggest you do. This series does need to be read in order. It could stand alone but you really wouldn’t get the proper feel of the characters.
Having said that, this is the perfect finale. It begins with more angst and emotion of Jack and Andrew. These two men sure went through all kinds of hell to get to where they are.

Jack tries to hunt down Andrew after his past ordeal, but his family moved leaving no trace. Jack is almost ready to believe that Andrew either is dead or doesn’t want anything else to do with Jack after all they have been through.
Andrew had suffered his own ordeal while Jack was away and thought Jack was dead. Since that is what Jack’s dad told him. He took rides form truckers, sometimes having to give blowjobs for food to survive. He finally gives up and decides to go back Sweet and end it all on Jacks grave.

I know sad isn’t it? The things these two guys go through in high school are horrible, but it makes you stop and think. Bullying isn’t always kids and school. Adults can be even worse. Child abuse can happen in even the best of homes. I loved how Sara dealt with the themes and in this book wrapped the story up in a nice neat package intriguing, package. I did cry quite a few times so I would suggest you keep tissues handy. I would love to see young Billy’s story…hint hint…

If you like awesome series, books dealing with difficult topics, such as child abuse, big families, angst, hot yet loving ManSex, interesting characters, and a satisfying conclusion to an intriguing series this are for you.

Blurb: Jack Miller has more than he could ask for with Andrew as his boyfriend, but it’s being taken away from him and there isn’t anything he can do. His father knows he’s gay, and his mother wants him to have sex with a girl to make sure he’s not mistaken.

Andrew Collins has found the perfect home in foster care with Cole and Melinda Kemp, but it won’t last. The DA thinks his parents have proven they’ve changed, but Andrew doesn’t believe the change will last.

Just when Jack and Andrew think it can’t get any worse, it does. Jack’s father sends him to New Life Christian Camp, a program that promises to pray the gay away. But Andrew has it worse as his father takes out his anger on him, leaving him near death.

Both Jack and Andrew are lost to each other, their lives in tatters all because their parents wanted to pray the gay away.

Review: This is the second book in the A Southern Thing Series, you really do need to read these in order. Sending Jack off to Jesus picks up where the last book left off with Jack now being under the watchful eye and threat of his tyrant of a father. In my opinion, Nathanial Miller should be the poster boy for family planning… and he has 10 kids… and a preacher to boot…Sorry about the rant. He has pulled the ‘if you don’t do as I say I will hurt your baby brother’ card to Jack. See what I mean? So, Jack is conflicted. He wants to hurry up and graduate, hoping for a scholarship so he can get on with his life and make a life for him and his boyfriend Andrew, but if he leaves he fears for Billy who at the tender age of 7 is very girly, and very proud of himself. Now I will talk about characters.

I will start with baby brother, Billy. At only 7, this kid is a dream. I absolutely love Billy and he deserves a story of his own (hint, hint). He is such a sweet thing, and confident. In this book, it is mostly Jack and Andrew, but there is one scene with Billy, that is a heart wrencher. I could just see him looking at awe at the photos of the two men and professing “How beautiful” then growling and yelling at his dad how ugly he is… yep, the 7-year-old is a scene stealer!

Jack is also a very great character. For only 18, he is one heck of a responsible boy. I can say the same for Andrew. Both are fabulous characters. So I will say if you like amazing characters as you can see here we have great main characters, supporting characters ( I didn’t mention Jacks mom she really steps up here and becomes a game changer) she is the epitome of character growth. (If Jack’s dad sounds like meanie of the year you should get a load of Andrew’s dad. he makes Jack’s dad look good.)

Ok, so let’s move on to the story. As I said it is a continuation of the last book and does end as a cliffhanger too, but if you’re a big Sara York fan you know what to expect… nail-biting suspense!! This story is full of angst, love, strong emotion, and suspense. I cannot wait for the next.

I highly recommend this if you like ongoing series that end in cliffhangers making you beg for more, boundless love, spunky seven-year olds, amazing character, sweet, but hot sensual mansex, stories that make you think, over-controlling parents, and nail-biting suspense and a heart-wrenching story.( be sure to have a box of tissue on hand).

Blurb: Star football player, Jack Miller, had it all. The perfect family, looks, girls hanging on his every word, and the respect of most people in his town. But one thing was missing–a man to be his own.

When Andrew Collins showed up in small town, conservative Sweet, Georgia, he looked more scrawny mutt than high school senior. Andrew’s plan was to keep his head down and graduate high school, leaving his family behind to start his real life.

When he meets Andrew, Jack thinks he’s found heaven, but reality holds him in check until one night when his lips gently slide across Andrew’s and fireworks go off.

As lust and something a little deeper brings them together, compelling them to take chances, people start to notice. Then the unthinkable happens, and Jack’s parents find out he likes guys. The battle lines are drawn and they vow to pray the gay away.

Review: This is another fantastic series from a fabulous author. Sara York has a way with series that can draw you in and leave you dying for the next book.

Praying the Gay Away is the first book in the A Southern Thing series. This book lays the foundation of the story, and introduces us to the characters, in a nail-biting, Angsty saga.

The story is based in a small town called Sweet, Georgia. It is a very religious community. Being from the Bible belt myself, I can really relate to this story. Jack’s father is a preacher and father of ten children. He considers himself as having the perfect family, the perfect life and perfect role models for the community. The man totally disgusted me and by the end of this book, I hated him with a vengeance. Andrew’s family is even worse. They came to Sweet after finding their son Andrew kissing a boy. They use fasting and praying as a punishment for Andrew and to ‘straighten’ him out. Trust me you will cringe a lot in this story.

Jack is a football star, popular, well-respected and well liked in town by his peers and the adults. Oh yeah, he is also secretly gay and trying to get a football scholarship to get out of Sweet and his father’s clutches so he can have a relationship.

I will also say that the book ends on a cliffhanger, as many of Sara’s stories do. I cannot wait for the next book to see what happens next.

If you like stories based in the Bible belt, of coming out, young lovers finding themselves, hot but tasteful sex, and a story with a climatic cliffhanger this is for you.

Review: I found this a fun read. It is a fairly basic romance of a closeted cop and an out and proud man. I think it’s a nice read for one of those nights you’re looking for something sweet and spicy. I liked the storyline of one cop standing up for a friend and lover and having to make decisions that would out himself.

The characters were also interesting. I liked Drake and loved Adam. I spotted Grady’s secret right away but for some reason, I liked Grady even more than Drake and am hoping he gets the next story…

I did read a review on Amazon for this author that they thought the book was a bit high for the length, I sort of agree but Sara is one of my favourites so the price didn’t bother me that much . I was not disappointed with the book.

I recommend this if you like sweet romance, fast-moving love, men in uniform (firemen and cops!) and some pretty hot man-sex.

Christmas Greetings from Sara York

I chose Sara mainly because her Texas Soul series http://sarayork.com/sarayork/392-2/texas-soul-series/ is one of my favorite M/M cowboy series. Hot cowboys, doctors, secret agents, mystery and super- hot sex (ménage…foursomes what more could you want.) I also love all of her other books, as well. Here is what Sara will be doing for Christmas this year, and she shared one of her favorite recipes. ~Cat~

Sara York

The holiday season is special for our family. We usually spend the week deep in family togetherness. I love our Christmas week. We don’t do the normal traditions. Sure, we have a tree and a few presents, but we don’t do a big meal. It’s not about the food without family, but more about the fun. We moved into our new house last year so our Christmas was abbreviated. This year, we’re happy to be focused fully on the fun part of our tradition. I’m planning on making red velvet cake, but no red food coloring. We’ll also be making a few cookies to share with other families in our neighborhood.

Our favorite Christmas cookie is snickerdoodles. I know, those aren’t the usual Christmas cookies, but they are for us.

1-cup butter softened

1 and 1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1-tablespoon vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoons cream of tartar

1-teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping

2 teaspoons cinnamon

3 tablespoons sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. If you have parchment paper, line the cookie sheets with parchment paper, otherwise use lightly buttered foil.

Make the topping and set aside.

Put dry ingredients in a small bowl and set aside until later.

In a large bowl, add butter, sugar, and mix well until blended and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla, mix well. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing well. Once all the dry ingredients are added, start having fun making the balls. Use enough dough to make 1-inch balls. Roll balls in topping and place on cookie sheet. Space at least two to three inches apart. Do not flatten the balls. Bake cookies for about ten minutes. You want the cookie to be spongy but not hard.

Enjoy- Sara!

Cherished by Sara York

Blurb: Scotty Fuller is a man who demands order. His job as a librarian gives him the solace he needs, and a BDSM club provides him with the kind of entertainment he craves. That is until a cute young college student threatens to unglue his carefully pieced-together life and rip open old wounds.

Wesley Reese is a shy college student with a problem: he’s crushing on the librarian. On a dare, he asks the handsome older man on a date, but dating Scotty requires more from Wesley than he can give. When the bondage restraints come out, Wesley knows he’s in too deep.

Will he change for love? Will he lose himself forever? Or will each man finally be… Cherished?

Reviewer: Tams

Review: Scotty is an accidental dominant. He lives the lifestyle because he demands respect and control, and the only place he’s ever found it is within the BDSM lifestyle. He is not cruel though, he believes in protecting the integrity of the lifestyle as well as the submissives. Wesley is an Art student that is crushing big time on Scotty. He finally approaches him and asks him out on a dare. He’s not exactly a submissive, but he would do just about anything for Scotty.

Wesley quickly breaks through nearly every barrier Scotty has built, finding his way to his heart. Scotty wages an inner battles between his heart and mind, afraid to give up the control his dominate side provides and let Wesley into his heart. The last guy he trusted betrayed him. His life has been a misery of misplaced trust and betrayal. Can he truly give himself to Wesley and not be broken, again?

Scotty and Wesley are complete opposites who could have a chance at happiness if they can find a balance of love, trust, and compromise. Each one struggles with the possibility of a relationship at different times throughout the story, and for differing reasons. Sex is never really an issue, aside from Scotty trying his damnedest to exert his control as a Dom at the start, but learning somewhere along the way, he’s just as happy to submit.

This was a very powerful read, I know that is a strong word, but it’s the only one that comes to mind at the moment. York managed to find a balance between the pain and grief inflicted upon her characters, leveling out that content with love and passion. Scotty is assured in his role as a Dom, being the caring boyfriend is new and dangerous territory for him. Wesley isn’t a virgin, but his inexperience mixed with his strong personality make it difficult for him to completely be a sub. Where do they find their balance; can they?

The violence in the story is appalling, possibly because I can see the reality in it. If you are a fan of BDSM and stories with a struggle that finds a conclusion, then this would be a book for you. There is some nasty, steamy, passionate sex peppered throughout as well. Bonus!

Blurb: Carlo has a problem, after years away he’s finally returned to his South Carolina roots – but instead of peace and quiet all he’s found are nosy wolves, romancing twinks, an out of control roommate threatening to expose them all, and a demanding Alpha who just won’t go away.

All his Alpha wants is to show Carlo who he really is, and where he belongs. But Carlo Montefiore is a man fighting his instincts, memories, and responsibilities. His beachside home was supposed to provide sanctuary, but pack politics, unruly roommates, and human neighbors at risk of discovering that shifters exist, are making life anything but peaceful. Twinks Kevin and Grady have their own problems. Two college freshmen are no match for a couple of hot wolves who like to play chase. If they don’t stop playing games they’ll miss the biggest thing to happen in their young lives—love.

Review: Carlo is an Alpha wolf but he was sent away from his pack when he was forced to go to a college, now he has returned but he turns his back on the responsibility of the pack like they turned their backs on him. Angelo has had to look after the pack as the only other Alpha, but now with Carlo finishing college he can hand over the reins and think about his career in the military, what Angelo never counted on was Carlo refusing the Alpha role and staying away from the pack. Kevin and Grady are humans who are reconnecting their friendship with a holiday at the beach, falling in with a couple of wolves proves to be an interesting time and forces them to confront their feelings for each other.

This is a very cool book that has a couple of different story threads that blend together to make for a very interesting read. Carlo is bitter, Angelo is angry and neither man will step back. While Angelo was following Carlo’s fathers instructions, he inadvertently drove the younger wolf away, now Carlo wants nothing to do with either him or the pack. Carlo has started his own small pack with two friends, living by the beach but his friends are still young wolves who can’t keep it in their pants. Joey and Ted set their sights on their new neighbors and nearly end up in sever trouble during a party.

Well, there is a lot going on in this story that grabs your attention, there are some mysteries that need to be solved and some very deep hurt feelings that might never be repaired. Okay, well… hmmm where to start, well for the last several years Angelo has been the Alpha of the Montefiore pack looking after it for the true Alpha while he is in college… unfortunately he didn’t handle it properly and Carlo thinks he has been forced out of the pack so Angelo could have it to himself. Angelo has an attraction to Carlo, and Carlo has an attraction to Angelo but Carlo is very bitter and their dealings are angry and bitter. Ted is a wolf from a different pack but his background is a mystery, Joey grew up with Carlo and is a complete horn-dog. Kevin and Grady are two cute guys who just happen to be staying next door to the wolves.

I found this story to be intriguing but packed with confusion as to what is going on. There is very little page time between Carlo and Angelo and what there is, is confrontational and angry, and you can’t help feel that if Angelo had handled things differently years before, then he wouldn’t be having the problems he is now dealing with. Carlo is bitter and it is blinding his future, you can understand why he felt abandoned but his hurt is driving him. There’s some pack politics that emerge that I am sure we will get a clearer picture of as the series continues, but for now we are left with questions and a rough direction of where the story is going. The only thing that I really couldn’t work out was the involvement of Kevin and Grady in the story, yes they made a great side story and their involvement produced some really hot sex, but other than their involvement with the wolves making them confront their feelings for each other, it didn’t really expand the storyline.

I recommend this to those who love shifters, confrontation, bitter feelings, pack politics, explosive sex, and a twisty ending that leaves you intrigued and wanting more.

Blurb: Dear Author,

It was supposed to be my dream honeymoon with my partner of five years. Yeah, I knew that he was reluctant to make our partnership legal but I thought that he would eventually be as happy to be my husband as I was going to be his. Nick tried to warn me, though I didn’t listen. It’s funny how my best friend Nick seems to be right about a lot of things lately… like how I should go on the honeymoon that I spent forever planning even though Mark and I aren’t together anymore. Taking Nick with me so that the extra ticket wouldn’t go to waste was another great idea. Just wish I knew how we ended up in bed like this…

Photo Description:
Two men are in bed with an empty champagne bottle and two glasses.

This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group’s “Love Has No Boundaries” event.

Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.

Reviewer: Tams

Review: Shane has been left standing at the altar, so to speak, by his boyfriend Mark. His best friend Nick who was already by his side is there to pick up the pieces. When Shane wakes up in his “honeymoon” suite wrapped up in the sexy giant that is Nick, all he can think is that he’s ruined their friendship for one drunken night of passion.

It’s been three days and he hasn’t heard a word from Mark, until now. Will Shane allow the man that he practically had to force to agree to marry him, that left him alone the day of back into his life? Or will he realize that the previous night of passion with Nick, a night like he never had with Mark, might not have been a mistake after all.

More of a synopsis than a book at only 14 pages, but I liked it. If you are looking for something really quick and fun to lift your spirits, grab a copy, it’s free right now through Smashwords. I’m hopeful that York will continue this story, the sneak peek I got was well written and I’m intrigued.
