Like the queue outside, it was a younger crowd, mostly early twenties, but with enough around my age to drop the creep factor to acceptable. I watched the dancers for a bit, appreciating all the hot skin and tight muscle on display before scouting the bar.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“You wanna dance?” A warm body leaned close, and I turned to find an attractive dark-haired man just inches from my face.

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4824300138">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
I met Alec and Hunter on Rhys and Beck's story, and finally read their story. Honestly, I loved this one more than the previous book in the series.<br />Alec has been going through a hard time in New York. The reality of the glamorous world of fashion portrayed real good in this story.<br /><br />I hurt for Alec and what he had been through. I knew it's not easy, but I'm glad that Hunter the 'love them and leave them' was there for him.<br />And also the whole gang, including 'the scary' Kip, Rhys and also jack and Beck!<br /><br />Alec and Hunter started their relationship with lust, the hate, and stronger as ever after the revelation about what was going on a year ago in New Zealand.<br />There's Tim, Alec's model friend that I really need to read his story, like as soon as possible!<br />Overall, I enjoyed this story so much! Alec and Hunter has the best chemistry!<br /><br /><i>Trigger warning ⚠️ : sexual harrasment on page.</i>

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once upon a time, a bunch of authors wondered... what would happen if Heart2Heart, the dating and community app responsible for bringing together couples from all over the world, encouraged people to do something they’d <em>never</em> done before?</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">#NeverHaveIEver is trending on H2H, and fourteen authors who’ve never before appeared in a Heart2Heart anthology (and one who’s never left) have come together to show how funny, hot, and heartwarming it can be when H2H app users challenge themselves to do something outside of their comfort zones--from singing in public, to skinny dipping, to getting their first real kiss--while they manage to fall in love along the way.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">As always, all proceeds from this anthology will benefit LGBTQ+ charities to ensure that love in all its incarnations will be celebrated and protected every single day of the year!</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em>And don’t forget: this volume of the anthology will only be available for 90 days, after which time it will never be offered again!</em></strong></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once upon a time, a bunch of authors wondered... what would happen if Heart2Heart, the dating and community app responsible for bringing together couples from all over the world, encouraged people to do something they’d <em>never</em> done before?</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">#NeverHaveIEver is trending on H2H, and fourteen authors who’ve never before appeared in a Heart2Heart anthology (and one who’s never left) have come together to show how funny, hot, and heartwarming it can be when H2H app users challenge themselves to do something outside of their comfort zones--from singing in public, to skinny dipping, to getting their first real kiss--while they manage to fall in love along the way. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">As always, all proceeds from this anthology will benefit LGBTQ+ charities to ensure that love in all its incarnations will be celebrated and protected every single day of the year!</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em>And don’t forget: this volume of the anthology will only be available for 90 days, after which time it will never be offered again!</em></strong></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">🌈 <strong>Pflag Canada</strong> is a national charitable organization, founded by parents who wished to help themselves and their family members understand and accept their LGBTQ2S children.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The “<em>coming-out</em>” process can be a critical time for families. When the adjustment period is particularly long or painful, relationships can become permanently damaged, resulting in a lifetime of emotional scars. People cannot always rise above the challenge of accepting themselves or their family members, and the results can be devastating, even fatal.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4040025716">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
Felice has this new series I am sure will make (at least me) swoon over these guys she introduced in the beginning of this series. Elliot, Chess, Wolf and Spencer. These four guy's friendship reminds me to the Breakfast club guys I loved so much.<br />This is Elliot's story, with Spencer's intervene with his love life. <br />Trying not to make a habit to meet a guy on his duty, Win met Elliot in his bedroom when he catches a bad guy who tried to rob Elliot. <br />Well, you know the rest :)<br />Elliot and Win has almost similar stories with a different background that they're trying to lived with.<br />But they didn't know, in the end, they have to deal with it together.<br />Losing someone and losing the life that you should have been, Win considered not to have a serious relationship, until he met Elliot, someone who's starving for love and affection, who's easily falling for the first man he dated.<br />I was a little bit upset with how Win treated his relationship with Elliot, but he made it up with talking about it. <br />What I really liked about them is they talked it out and never leave the problem between them unsolved for too long. The help from Win's parents and Elliot's friends also made it easier.<br />I wanted to hug little Elliot for what he had been through in his very early life, that's not what we expected our life to be. Maybe it's to late to reach it back, maybe not. I liked it that Felice left it open between Elliot and his past. The decision is never easy when you have a complicated past.<br />The List is not just a story about two guys falling in love, but it also tells more about relationship in general. Lovers, friends, parents. <br />I cannot wait for the next two books in the series!

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>DADDY ISSUES</strong></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nightclub dancer, Dimmy Cirillo, is living a nightmare. He doesn't want to be the boy-toy his father is pimping him out to be, but he has no way out.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Construction-company heir, Liam McAllister, wasn't looking to become anyone's white knight, but he couldn't stop himself from helping the willowy, tattooed man who takes his breath away.

</span><blockquote>
<h3><span style="font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></h3><blockquote><h3><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Excerpt:</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Liam</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Ogle him all you like, Ralph Lauren, but Dimmy’s the pay-for-play type. And it’ll cost you a pretty penny—Gregory’s saving his ass for top dollar.” The bartender — a lanky woman with a tight platinum-blonde afro and a smoker’s voice —nods at the go-go boy I’ve been gawking at since I sat down. “How about another drink to replace some of that drool?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I nod, unable to tear my gaze away from the scene in front of me.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">The scenery I’m so eagerly soaking up is of the human variety. In particular, the barely legal go-go boy named Dimmy, who’s gyrating his unnaturally flexible body on top of a glowing lime-green cube set up dead center of the dimly lit, jam-packed dance floor. At the moment, he’s dancing—if you can call it that—to a smoky 80s tune. One I recognize about the singer’s desire to be his lover’s father figure, <em>and</em> a song that makes me think, thanks to my own daddy issues. Which my respectable, successful, and remarkably satisfied-with-his-perfect-life father has no clue about. <em>Long story.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Alva grunts and rolls her eyes. “All I’m saying is, if I was in your penny loafers, I’d keep my distance.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Perched on a torn pleather bar stool in the All the Feels Lounge, my elbows are pretty much glued to a sticky tile bar top that likely hasn’t been scrubbed down since the late 1980s. I’d be willing to wager my Salvatore Ferragamo Braided leather loafers—a <em>very</em> far cry from penny loafers—that the grout between the tired beige tiles houses colonies of yet unidentified bacteria. Shit, this place illustrates the essence of tackiness overkill. Death by campy décor—even the ceilings are mirrored.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I’m not going to lie, though. The sight of the dancer moving to the sultry tune makes up for the dingy surroundings. He’s something to behold— the essence of I-don’t-give-a-shit. A guy living outside the lines, whereas I’m freakishly respectful of them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Dimmy looks like someone more than the average hottie paid to dance half-naked on a pedestal in a gay bar. He seems raw, unashamed, genuine. In some ways, he’s over-the-top, though it has little to do with his septum ring and lip piercing. Bird tattoos fly over his skin every which way, across his stubbly chest, and right up his neck until they reach the dazzling mop of purple on his head. Between his gaping denim vest and black leggings, little of his lithe body is left to the imagination, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p>

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>About the Author:<br /></strong></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Award-winning gay romance author, Mia Kerick, knows that a satisfying romance novel is riddled with challenges. For true love to prevail, the leading men are gonna have to put in some effort. But the HEA is oh-so rewarding.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mia has a great affinity for the damaged teenage soul in literature. Her YA gay contemporary romance focuses on such tropes as hurt/comfort and dark secrets that keep them apart. In Kerick’s books, the course of true love never does run smooth.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mia’s books have been featured in Kirkus Reviews magazine. They have won a 2019 IPPY GOLD award for Juvenile/Young Adult Fiction, a 2018 YA GOLD MOONBEAM Children’s Book Award, a YA Readers’ Favorite Award, several Gold Rainbow Awards in YA and adult categories, a Reader Views’ Book by Book Publicity Literary Award, the Jack Eadon Award for Best Book in Contemporary Drama, a YA Indie Fab Award, a First Place Royal Dragonfly Award for Cultural Diversity, a First Place Story Monsters Purple Dragonfly Award, and more.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mia cheers for each and every victory made in the name of human rights. Her only major regret: never having taken typing or computer class in school, destining her to a life consumed with two-fingered pecking and constant prayer to the Gods of Technology.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

<b>I loved this story too much, Felice delivering the fun side of her through Morgan and Leo.</b>
</i><br><br>The day Leo met Morgan, everything went wrong, or so he they thought. Always in denial these two. But as much as they said they're wrong to each other, they're absolutely right for each other.<br>I loved the snark, especially when Morgan told Leo , " Seems like you have all my life planned" , when they're arguing :)<br><br>The Right One is the right book for you if you need something low angst from Felice, a fun one, with a snarky Morgan and grumpy Leo. What a pair huh?<br>Recommended!

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ethan,<br />About last night... I could blame the bourbon. I could say I let things get out of hand, that I should have never called you, but I'm done lying to myself—to you. I know what you're going to say. You're not very good at keeping your opinions to yourself, but this can't happen. It's inappropriate, at best. I'm your boss. Not to mention, you're clearly still hung up on him. I'm not a consolation prize.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anders,<br />You didn't think it was inappropriate when you had your tongue down my throat, but I digress. As for your accusation, I'm not the only one stuck in the past, but at least I'm not running from it. I can't believe I'm about to say this… Maybe you're right. You shouldn’t have called me. Especially if you never intended to own it. Own that you wanted it to happen. Admit that you wanted me.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

<h2><span style="font-size: large;"></span></h2><blockquote><h2><span style="font-size: large;">Release Blitz Excerpt:</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“You’re early,” he said, his voice smooth and bored.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">He didn’t spare me a glance as he pulled keys from his pocket and opened the door.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">My jaw ached as I gritted my teeth. “Early? You told me to be here at seven.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Did I?” he asked, and I could hear the fucking humor in his voice.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Yeah…” Asshole. “You did.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I followed him into the office, the lights automatically illuminating as we stepped inside. The place was nice, not as cold as I assumed it would be. Instead of glass and metal, everything was warm wood and earth tones.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Office hours are nine to four. Kris used to show up around eight-thirty,” he said, leaning against the only desk in the lobby. “This is your workspace. I’ll get your log-in information when you get back.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I took a calming breath. “Back from where?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“The Starbucks two blocks west from here.” His lips lifted more on the right side of his mouth, his grin crooked. He was enjoying himself at my expense. “Americano for me, and you can get whatever you want within reason. Here…” He reached into his bag while I seethed. No apology for making me sit in the damn cold for over an hour, nope, right to business. “This is the company card. I expect a receipt for any purchases you make for me or Lowe Literary.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I took the card from his hand. “Receipts. Got it.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">His blue eyes traveled over my body slow and disapproving. I had on the best pair of jeans I owned and borrowed one of Jax’s polo shirts. I didn’t have the money for bullshit designer suits, but I cleaned up okay.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“You’re the face of Lowe Literary, Mr. Calloway. I expect you to dress like you give a shit.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I huffed out a laugh. “Well, I expect a boss who shows up on time.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“I was on time.” Arrogant as hell, he slipped his hand into his slacks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Why did you tell me seven if we don’t open until nine?” I asked, ignoring his confident glare.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">He hesitated, and I wondered what bullshit excuse he was about to give me when he surprised me with the truth. “Initiation. Payback. Perhaps a bit of both.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I understood the payback part. I’d be pissed if I caught strangers fucking in my house too. But initiation? Like what? Hazing?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Look, I’m sorry about—”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">He raised his hand, silencing me. “You’re here because Wilder asked me to help out his friend. Apologies are unnecessary. This isn’t about you. It’s best if you remember that. Show up. Do your job. And there won’t be a problem.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Before I had a chance to reply, he walked away and disappeared down the hall. Furious, and feeling smaller than I ever had in my entire life, I contemplated quitting. I didn’t need to put up with his shit. I could be on site with Jax in an hour if I wanted. I slammed my eyes shut and tried to push down my anger and pride. This job would allow me the time I needed to do my schoolwork. And according to the nursing program advisor I’d spoken with last week, I had a shit ton of prerequisites I had to complete before I could even apply to the RN program. If it weren’t for Mr. Superiority Complex, this would be the chillest job I could find. And I’d never find a gig that paid me as well as this did. I groaned and pocketed the business credit card, hating the way Anders had me by the balls.</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p>

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3883700870">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
<br />This is my first ever book with this author, and she didn't disappoint me. I am now listening to Wilder and Jax story from the first book of this installment. Knowing Wilder had somehow disappointed Anders and made Anders the way he is now. <br />I wanted to hate Wilder for what he did to Anders, but I can't. He proved in this book, he can be a supportive friend for Anders.<br />As for Ethan, I loved Ethan, he's sweet, brave to say what he wanted, and he's a sunshine to Anders darkness.<br />Anders and Ethan were like yin and yang, they needed each other and they're definitely made for each other.<br />Not So Sincerely, Yours was rich with fun email banters between Anders and Ethan, to be honest, my favorite parts of this book.<br />I loved how easy they're to each other on the email, but kinda holding back in real life.<br />No thanks to Anders past with his ex. The balance between Ethan and Anders lives, and how they were supporting each other was the main body of this story.<br />Angst level was very low, which I needed sometimes in my reading.<br />It was a long book, but Anders and Ethan will surely entertain you.<br />I recommend to read the first book to get to know Anders life before Ethan.

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">“The madness of love is the greatest of heaven’s blessings.”<br />-Plato</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Day 1 of senior year at Denwin High was not supposed to end with my thoughts consumed by the new AP Philosophy teacher. I’d impatiently waited three years to take the course, but from the moment he strode in with his sad eyes that mirrored my own, I was intrigued by only him.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Sebastian Wicked.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Intrigue turned into obsession, and common interests set the stage for a tentative friendship with the enigmatic man. In time, every line put in place became blurred as what we shared sparked the flames of a forbidden affair. An affair that should've never been, a wrong that the universe sought to right.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was only one possible outcome—we were both going to burn. Would our love rise up from the ashes? Or would it smolder in the ruins?</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">My name is Phoenix Michaelson, and I am The Boy Who Loved Wicked.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

<h1><span style="font-size: large;"></span></h1><blockquote><h1><span style="font-size: large;">Release Blitz Excerpt:</span></h1>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“You’re worth the risk, Phoenix.” I said another silent prayer, swallowing around the dread lodged in my airway, and quelled the thoughts that said we needed to stop this now. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“I am?” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“You awakened something in me that first day with your passion and willingness to challenge me. In all my years of teaching, there’s never been a student that came to me not seeking knowledge but to exchange information and ideas. I’d become complacent, jaded even. You forced me to stand up straight and call on all the parts of my brain I no longer used.” My life before Phoenix mocked me now, tickling the back of my neck, calling me home. I refused to turn at the sound of its voice, and I smacked my nape as if ridding myself of a buzzing fly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“I’d been preparing all my life for it,” he said. “It’s the one area I’m completely confident in. I’m the most comfortable in my skin during your class.” He squeezed my straining biceps. “And here, like this.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“‘How many are the things a man can do without.’” I situated our cocks and began a slow frot.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Socrates.” His breath stuttered in his lungs, and his fingers dug in hard enough to leave marks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“You are not one of those things, Phoenix.” I kissed the corner of his eye, my lips soaking up the moisture that slipped from it. I bore my weight down on him, clutching him to me, inhaling from the spot behind his ear, wishing I could swallow him whole.</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p>

</span><blockquote>
<h2><span style="font-size: large;"></span></h2><blockquote><h2><span style="font-size: large;">Special Release Tour Excerpt:</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I managed to get upstairs at the Sigma Mu Tau house without encountering anyone or having to explain why I was covered in mud. I took a shower, using soap to clean a scraped area on my knee and palm, applied antibiotic from my first aid kit, and put on some comfy PJs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Then I sat on my bed. My roommate, Dobbs, was out. I should study, but I didn’t.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">It had started to rain again, and I stared out the window, unable to get certain words out of my head.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><em>“Well, I sure as hell hope not. Because if you were stupid on top of </em>that<em>, you sure would have been dealt a raw deal in life.”</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><em>That</em> being my body, which was woefully pale, weak, and pathetic, like the guy who gets sand kicked in his face in those famous old Jack LaLane ads. That was the objective truth, so why should Bubba’s words hurt me? He hadn’t even been mean. He’d been nice to me, in fact.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Did that make it worse? Possibly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Well, of course I was out of shape! Why did he think I volunteered to play ridiculous flag football in the first place? Yes, I wanted to help my fraternity meet Dean Robberts requirements so our house didn’t get closed. The dean told my frat, the Sigma Mu Taus, that we had to have two of our guys on the Alpha Lambda Alpha flag-football team to prove we could all work together or he’d shut us down. Of course, I wasn’t going to let that happen. But mostly, I volunteered because it gave me a chance to get in shape. I mean, those ALAs were buff. They were gorgeous, and I figured some of that could rub off on me.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I was a senior. It was February. I only had a few months left of my undergrad years. And I was still a virgin. I’d spent my high school years taking advanced classes and having no social life. My social life now consisted of role-playing games, video games, and watching TV with my SMT housemates.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I knew where I was going in life. My parents were both geneticists. They worked for the same company—that was how they met. Genome sequencing. They were bright and dedicated. They worked long hours at their research. That would be my life too. But before that, <em>until then</em>, I wanted to… to….</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">To live a little. I wanted to step outside the box, do something un-Sean McKinney-like. I wanted to party, to ride in fast cars, to have wild-and-crazy sex.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Or any sex!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">And to achieve that goal, I needed to be more attractive. Hell, <em>I</em> wouldn’t want to have sex with the limp noddle physique I saw in the bathroom mirror. I desperately wanted to increase my hotness factor. That’s why I’d made it my one and only New Year’s resolution to get fit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">My palm stung. I pulled back the dressing to peek at it, and my stubborn streak kicked in.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><em>Screw you, Alpha Lambda Alpha, you A-hoes. If you think a little scrape is going to discourage me, you’ve got another thing coming. I will play flag football. And I’ll get in shape, too, because I am going to get laid!</em></span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></p></blockquote><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Promo 2" class="size-full wp-image-3146 aligncenter" height="335" src="https://gayrmncereviews.files.wordpress.com/2021/03/promo-2.png" width="640" /></span></h2><span style="font-size: large;">

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3884259194">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
Bubba and Sean were just too adorable together. After everyone who were doubting them, they're surely worked hand in hand together to rove to anyone that Bubba is not as dumb as they thought, and Sean is not as lame as they wanted to see.<br />Also, the surprise with Bubba's father? I never thought that was coming tbh.<br />Parents were still their main problems beside the physical stereotyping from people around them.<br />But I can see that Bubba and Sean were strong together.<br />Coaching the Nerd was a bit lighter than the previous book, and I cannot wait for Jax and Rand's book to come.

</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Emerett “Lake” Lakewood has a healthy ego and a flair for the dramatic. After losing his best friend to marriage—completely crushing his heart—he deems it prudent to distract himself, and what better way than playing cupid?</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">He’s already got his eye on two young men desperately seeking romance, and he has a plan to hook them up.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Barbecues.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lake is killing it. Love is positively pulsing in the air. Anyone could see it.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well, anyone other than Knight, his best friend’s dad, who cautions Lake to stop meddling. To leave love to its natural course.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lake has always valued Knight’s frankness, but this time he’s wrong. Without him, two hearts might be doomed never to find love.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Besides, what does Knight know about romance? He’s barely dated in all the seven years Lake’s known him. He’s clueless. Though, there’s a thought. Knight has everything going for him. Sensibility. Kindness. Generosity. And for a forty-four-year-old, he’s—objectively—freaking hot.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><blockquote style="text-align: left;">
<h3><span style="font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></h3><blockquote><h3><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Special Release Blitz Excerpt:</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Knight stood at the fireplace, head bowed, brows sloped into a frown. Sunlight from the windows printed a large square of light over his T-shirt, jeans, and the heels of his naked feet. Lost in thought, Knight pinched the lily he’d left on the mantelpiece by the stem, shutting his eyes as he breathed in that creamy-clove scent. A weary sigh sagged his shoulders.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Tenderness thumped in Lake’s chest. At Knight’s fond smile, he pushed into the room.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Knight’s head shot up and he clasped his hands behind his back. “Lake.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Lake smiled softly. “You miss your son.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“My son?” Surprise—confusion?—flickered over Knight’s face.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Lake gestured to the lily behind him. “You don’t have to hide it from me. I like the reminder that you’re human.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Knight paused, and returned the lily to the mantelpiece. “All too human, I’m afraid.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Don’t worry. You hide it well.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“That seems the right thing to do.” After a beat, Knight looked over at Lake with practiced tolerance. “The barbecue is not until next Sunday. Why are you back?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Why do you think I left?” Lake dropped his satchel onto the armchair and draped himself on his favorite couch. “I promised to help at the food bank. I’d have been here an hour ago, but Philip needed a ride home. He hates being in his big empty apartment. He was reluctant to get out of the car.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“And you think the apartment is the reason?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“I invited him to the barbecue—you should have seen how fast he lit up.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Knight’s lips rolled into a half-grin, yet his voice resonated boredom. “I can imagine. Why are you back?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">A yawn pulled at Lake, deep in his chest. It had been a long day on little sleep. “You have two guestrooms.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“You have an entire cottage and your father’s old distillery.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">True. However . . . “Neither feel the same since he passed away.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Knight spoke tentatively, “It’s been years . . .”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Years practically living with you and your son.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Knight narrowed worried eyes on him. “Or years avoiding the past?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Lake waggled a finger at him, grinning over the lingering pain of losing his dad on the heels of losing his mum. “Shrewd man.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“My son doesn’t live here.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Shrewder still.” Lake sighed. “His and Amy’s new house isn’t the same. I feel like a third wheel.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“That would be an accurate assessment.” A pause. “You were a third wheel here, too.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Yes, but it was easier with you.” More comfortable. He could always be completely himself.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Lake fished for the remote on the coffee table, not quite reaching it, but not quite willing to work for it either. He threw Knight a cheeky wink. “I’ve taken your guest room upstairs. We’re sharing a bathroom.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Knight moved to the coffee table and offered him the remote. “Have you considered finding a more permanent living arrangement? Selling your inherited properties?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Lake took the other end, but Knight didn’t let go. Awaiting an answer, of course. “The cottage maybe,” Lake admitted, “but the distillery has been in the Lakewood family for generations. Even though it’s sitting there unused, it feels wrong to give it up.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Knight released his hold on the remote. “Start with the cottage, then.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“It’s an awful lot of organizing—” At Knight’s flattening lips, Lake started nodding “—which I will get on to, very, very soon.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">If Knight were inanimate, he’d be an actionable item list. Procrastination was uncharted territory to him. He screamed checkbox, and a smarter person would grab the nearest pencil and start checking.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Lake offered up his most charming smile. “And until I get around to it?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Knight sighed. “The guestroom downstairs has its own bathroom.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“So actually, about that room. I had a thought.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Why do I suddenly feel anxious?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Knight plucked up the remarkably preserved lily—all that hairspray, perhaps?—and hiked toward the archway that led to the dining room.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Lake rolled off the couch and skedaddled after him to the open kitchen. Door knobs, light fixtures, faucets, and hinges were all wrought-iron. Everything so charmingly rustic, a horse braying in the background wouldn’t have felt out of place.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Amy’s cousin Harry. Early twenties, cute face. Auburn hair and freckles.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“I recall. Very polite, very happy. Danced with his grandmother and his cousin most of the night. Seemed impressed with the wedding ceremony and reception.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“He did love the crostini.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Knight slipped the lily into a miniature vase and side-eyed him. “He wasn’t the only one.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Are there any left?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Knight set the vase by the vintage water pitcher Lake had encouraged Taylor to buy his dad for Christmas, and opened the pantry. He brought out a crostini platter. “Picked them up this afternoon. If you hadn’t turned up uninvited, I’d have tracked you down.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Lake grabbed a baked artichoke and parmesan crostini and moaned into a crunchy bite. “You’re the best, Knightly.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“I do try, Emerett.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Lake swallowed at his first name. It wasn’t something anyone else used, just Knight, and only on occasion. But when he did . . . it always jolted him.</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p>

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3838685567">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
Emerett Has Never Been in Love is a retelling of Austen's story, Emma.<br />It was a super slow burn romance and loads of misunderstanding on Emerett/Lake's side. Especially when reading signs. About who like whom, and about his own feeling, also about a subtle and not so subtle signs Knighley gave him for quite a long time. Maybe because Knight is also, his best friend's father :)<br />To be honest, I never did finish Emma, it was (sorry) too boring for my weird taste. But Emerett Has Neven Been in Love was captivatingly beautiful story about <i>'we found love just where we are'.</i><br />I love Knight and his patience facing and dealing with Lake on daily basis, also with his oblivious how much Knight wanted him. But I also questioning Knight, why didn't he just gave it a move to tell Lake how he's feeling, instead of just waiting for Lake to find out.<br />A lot things happened, mostly Lake always misunderstanding, and his lacking of ability reading people.<br />I laugh a lot, Lake is funny guy, and he's so entertaining, and Knight... he's the epitome of a mature patient wise man, especially when it comes to Lake.<br /><br />Emerett Has Neven Been in Love is an entertaining beautiful slow burn love story I enjoyed so much, I even ignored my gossip chats until I finished it :)<br />Cannot wait for the second installment of this series with Lake and Knight as cameo , I'm sure Lake will still be annoyingly adorable.<br />Recommended!

</span><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Outback Boys, Book 2</span></h3><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Standoffish Aiden is content keeping people at a distance and ensuring his boundaries are impenetrable. There’s safety in not opening up, but there’s also a loneliness he doesn’t realise exists until he meets Riley, a new member of the LGBTQI+ adventure group Outback Boys.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fascinated by the new guy, Aiden is quick to discover his flirtation skills are rusty and his sweet-talking is cringeworthy. But sweet and clumsy Riley doesn’t seem to mind so much.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even though Riley doesn’t quite know how to handle Aiden’s intensity, he’s willing to step out of his comfort zone and see how their tentative friendship unravels.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Between a surf lesson that resembles a kangaroo on acid and paddle boarding that is trickier than walking a tightrope, Aiden and Riley discover love may be a possibility after all.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Happiness relies on honesty and openness, though. And with both men holding on tightly to past struggles, their future together is at risk. Can the two Aussies bounce back and heal themselves and each other, or are some wounds too raw to recover from?</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Outback Boys is a sweet and sexy M/M romance series complete with bruised butts, rope burn, and overworked muscles… all in the pursuit of adventure, of course!</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

Mark said to Trey. “Speeding on ahead and giving even hardened adventurers a
run for their money.” He turned his attention to me. “Honestly, just get
through today, and you’ll find you’ll love it. Doesn’t mean you won’t feel the
burn tomorrow, though.” He grinned.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 12pt 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">A low groan tumbled from me. “Is it
going to be that bad?”</span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 12pt 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Mark laughed good-naturedly.
“Tomorrow we’re kayaking, so at least your legs will be given a break. You’ll
be fine.”</span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 12pt 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">I hoped he was right.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 12pt 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">“Great job, everyone.” I turned my
attention to a new voice. A guy called Frank had done a small greet and intro
when we’d set up camp this morning. The tall, brown-haired guy currently
holding my attention was most definitely not Frank—a smiley guy in his sixties.
Nope. The hunk of deliciousness was perhaps close to my age and had such
sculptured, toned legs that I doubted the measly eighteen kilometres from today
would be felt. “My name’s Aiden, for those first-timers.” He glanced around,
his eyes connecting with mine, a friendly smile forming on his lips. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 12pt 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Hot damn. </span></i></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

how to complete that simple action since my whole body reacted to the man. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 12pt 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">“We’ll stop for twenty minutes,
then continue the trail.” He looked at his watch. “We should be able to take
another pit stop when we’re on the last leg and be back at camp by five.”</span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 12pt 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Frank walked to his side, saying,
“Don’t forget to holler if you need anything, and we’ll let you know tonight
about the plans for tomorrow.” He turned to Aiden, who said something and
laughed. While I couldn’t hear the words, his laughter was deep and loud.
Goosebumps travelled up my skin at the sound. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 12pt 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">An elbow in my side had me whipping
my head around. My gaze landed on Pete’s shit-eating grin. “Pick your jaw up
off the ground.” While he spoke a little lower than usual, Mark and Trey
snorted, clearly having heard him. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 12pt 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Heat flushed up my neck, spreading
across my cheeks. I cleared my throat and narrowed my eyes at Pete. “I was only
paying attention.”</span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 12pt 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">“Uh-huh.” Pete nodded, amusement
dancing in his eyes. “And the drool?”</span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 12pt 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">I huffed and shook my head. “Piss
off.”</span></span></p>

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Trey has a problem he’s worked hard to manage. It involves not turning into a bumbling mess while around a gorgeous brown-haired man who’s way out of his league. Eight months’ practice from being part of the same LGBTQI+ adventure group, Outback Boys, means he’s perfected the skill.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">That’s until an epic stumble makes his head spin and he throws all caution to the wind. But there’s no turning back now, especially since a snow-filled trip means they’re forced to spend even more time together.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mark has no concerns about the changes unfolding between him and Trey, the giant of a man who’s adorably reserved. He’s been crushing on him for so long that he’s eager to explore more. But when their latest adventure is over and they fall back into the real world, balancing work, life, and a relationship proves more challenging than he envisioned.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Something has got to give, and neither man knows the best way ahead without upsetting the status quo. Can the two Aussies work their way through their new connection, or will they stumble at the first hurdle in their way?</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

I could say I let things get out of hand, that I should have never called you, but I'm done lying to myself—to you. I know what you're going to say. You're not very good at keeping your opinions to yourself, but this can't happen. It's inappropriate, at best. I'm your boss. Not to mention, you're clearly still hung up on him. I'm not a consolation prize.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anders,<br />You didn't think it was inappropriate when you had your tongue down my throat, but I digress. As for your accusation, I'm not the only one stuck in the past, but at least I'm not running from it. I can't believe I'm about to say this… Maybe you're right. You shouldn’t have called me. Especially if you never intended to own it. Own that you wanted it to happen. Admit that you wanted me.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><blockquote>
<h2><span style="font-size: large;"></span></h2><blockquote><h2><span style="font-size: large;">Cover Reveal Excerpt:</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">The city was awake with foot traffic and blaring car horns. People in business attire with cups of coffee buzzed by me as I leaned against the locked door of Lowe Literary. It was forty-five minutes after seven, and I’d been standing here since six-thirty, thinking it would be smart to arrive early. I’d been worried about parking, or worse, getting lost in the city. I didn’t drive much around Denver, and growing up in small-town backcountry Florida, I could admit I wasn’t adequately equipped for the big city. My hands were cold, even stuffed in my pockets, and my temper bordered on irate. I’d texted Anders about twenty minutes ago and he hadn’t answered. I was seconds from saying fuck it and walking back to my car when he finally rounded the corner. Anders was all confidence in a steel-colored suit with a deep blue button down underneath. His golden blond hair was artfully disheveled, giving him a casual appearance, but I’d bet my left kidney it’d taken him an hour to get ready this morning. Maybe that’s why he was late.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“You’re early,” he said, his voice smooth and bored.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">He didn’t spare me a glance as he pulled keys from his pocket and opened the door.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">My jaw ached as I gritted my teeth. “Early? You told me to be here at seven.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Did I?” he asked, and I could hear the fucking humor in his voice.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Yeah…” Asshole. “You did.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I followed him into the office, the lights automatically illuminating as we stepped inside. The place was nice, not as cold as I assumed it would be. Instead of glass and metal, everything was warm wood and earth tones.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Office hours are nine to four. Kris used to show up around eight-thirty,” he said, leaning against the only desk in the lobby. “This is your workspace. I’ll get your log-in information when you get back.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I took a calming breath. “Back from where?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“The Starbucks two blocks west from here.” His lips lifted more on the right side of his mouth, his grin crooked. He was enjoying himself at my expense. “Americano for me, and you can get whatever you want within reason. Here…” He reached into his bag while I seethed. No apology for making me sit in the damn cold for over an hour, nope, right to business. “This is the company card. I expect a receipt for any purchases you make for me or Lowe Literary.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I took the card from his hand, “Receipts. Got it.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">His blue eyes traveled over my body slow and disapproving. I had on the best pair of jeans I owned, and borrowed one of Jax’s polo shirts. I didn’t have the money for bullshit designer suits, but I cleaned up okay.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“You’re the face of Lowe Literary, Mr. Calloway. I expect you to dress like you give a shit.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I huffed out a laugh. “Well, I expect a boss who shows up on time.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“I was on time.” Arrogant as hell, he slipped his hand into his slacks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Why did you tell me seven if we don’t open until nine?” I asked, ignoring his confident glare.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">He hesitated, and I wondered what bullshit excuse he was about to give me when he surprised me with the truth. “Initiation. Payback. Perhaps a bit of both.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I understood the payback part. I’d be pissed if I caught strangers fucking in my house too. But initiation? Like what? Hazing?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Look, I’m sorry about—”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">He raised his hand, silencing me. “You’re here because Wilder asked me to help out his friend. Apologies are unnecessary. This isn’t about you. It’s best if you remember that. Show up. Do your job. And there won’t be a problem.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Before I had a chance to reply, he walked away and disappeared down the hall. Furious, and feeling smaller than I ever had in my entire life I contemplated quitting. I didn’t need to put up with his shit. I could be on site with Jax in an hour if I wanted. I slammed my eyes shut and tried to push down my anger and pride. This job would allow me the time I needed to do my schoolwork. And according to the nursing program advisor I’d spoken with last week, I had a shit ton of prerequisites I had to complete before I could even apply to the RN program. If it weren’t for Mr. Superiority Complex, this would be the chillest job I could find. And I’d never find a gig that paid me as well as this did. I groaned and pocketed the business credit card, hating the way Anders had me by the balls.</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Felice Stevens has always been a romantic at heart. She believes that while life is tough, there is always a happy ending just around the corner. Her characters have to work for it, however. Like life in NYC, nothing comes easy, and that includes love.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">She lives in New York City and has way too much black in her wardrobe yet can't stop buying "just one more pair" of black pants.

Her dream day starts out with iced coffee and ends with Prosecco, because...why shouldn't it?

<i>
<b>
<blockquote>“ Sometimes when we let ourselves go, we find ourselves exactly where we belong.”"</blockquote>
</b>
</i><br /><br />When you can ignored social media gossips and hooked on your sofa cannot stop reading, you know the book is doing great.<br />Mason and Jude did that to me. I was hooked from the first chapter and can not put the book down.<br />Great opposite attracts romance from my favorite author.<br /><br /><i>
<b>
<blockquote>"You’re the most fundamental part of who I’ve become. You’re a mystery to me, yet so familiar, like a song I’d never heard before, but whose words were right on the tip of my tongue. When you look at me, I see a reflection of us. And I hope you want to take a chance. With me.”</blockquote>
</b>
</i><br /><br />This story, Jude and Mason has become my new favorite from <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/8432880.Felice_Stevens" title="Felice Stevens" rel="nofollow noopener">Felice Stevens</a> .<br />Mason had my heart soon as I knew his struggle to prove that he's not what everyone's thought he was. Especially when it comes to his forever crush, Jude, his brother's best friend.<br />My heart was breaking after I read how much Jude denied Mason, for what? His pride? <br />I wanted to hug Mason all the time and I can feel his pain ( Felice does know how to make my heart weep ), and kind of a teeny bit wanted to slap Jude for his arrogance.<br />But then, knowing what caused it and how much he's willing to tear his wall down for Mason, melted me.<br />Jude and Mason trapped me in one sitting read, shed a few tears and sighing happily after I finished the book.<br />I adore Felice's writing and the guys she shared with us.<br />This is a heartwarming romance I craved every time I think the world is sucks and love's not exist. <br />That's why I read romance. <br />Recommended!<br /><br /><br />

</span><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Nerds Vs Jocks, Book 1<br /></strong></span></h3><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Only an unfair universe makes a guy who’s that gorgeous so damned obnoxious.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">A-hoe!<br />Poindexter!<br />Snarky, superbrain Dobbs and snooty football star Jesse stare at each other from their rival frat houses on opposites sides of the street -- and opposite sides of everything else.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Alpha Lambda Alpha and Sigma Mu Tau have been sworn enemies for decades. Then one disastrous prank proves to be the last straw, and the college dean blows his cork!</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Work together or lose both your houses.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Question - -How can Dobbs win his coveted Quiz Bowl championship with when he’s forced to put a dumb jock on his team?<br />Answer -- Lots of personal schooling.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">But when personal becomes very personal, Jesse risks causing his overtaxed family one more huge worry and the running back starts running.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Will Dobbs give up on the shocked jock, or show him that the answer to the big question is, Yes?</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>SCHOOLING THE JOCK is an enemies-to-lovers, opposites attract, campus romance – with one hell of a lightning round.</em></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

<h2><span style="font-size: large;"></span></h2><blockquote><h2><span style="font-size: large;">Special Release Tour Excerpt:</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em>Jesse</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Jesus. Hacking up a lung. “Ow!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I stepped back into the same attack holly bush I’d run into twice already, but the lawn of the ALA house was so crowded with people, it was hard to avoid. My too-thin-for-January-in-Wisconsin sleep pants now sported a rip while I was suffering a serious shrinkage factor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><em>Who the fuck set our house on fire?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Firefighters in bright-yellow uniforms pushed into the front door of our house, and the lawn was covered with my Alpha Lambda Alpha frat brothers and their dates in various stages of undress. It’d been a date night. Well, not for me, but still.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Coughing, I sidled over to Tray. “Hey. What the hell happened? Was it Bubba?” God knows it wouldn’t be the first time Bubba’d decided to dry his jock in the oven.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Traynor Blackstone, my best friend on the campus, shook his head. “No clue.” He turned his handsome face and really looked at me. “What happened to you? One minute, I handed you a beer and then poof.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Had to study.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Come on, my man. I know you’ve got tough-ass classes, but football season’s over, and date night’s sacred.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I shrugged and stared at the sneakers I’d managed to rummage from under my bed before I ran out the door. “Got an exam.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">He barked a laugh. “One of these days, Mr. Running Back, we’ll hook you up with a female so fine you’ll turn in your texts for sexts.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Could happen.” I smiled. <em>But not in this life.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“We’ve got to get you out of your ivory tower somehow, my man.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I just shrugged. Not much I could say. Tray was my friend. I loved the guy, but no one, even him, had ever gotten me to tell the truth.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">He shook his head, but it was friendly. “Come on.” He pushed through the masses of coughing people and trip-hazard hoses to Rand, the president and all-around phenom of the human kind. Rand was so perfect he made me antsy. I liked and respected him. Hell, he was the only ALA who’d ever had the nerve to come out as gay, and he was still so admired, the chapter put him in charge. Maybe I just couldn’t stand the comparison. Tray, however, saw everyone as his equal. One of the best qualities in a friend.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Rand, what the fuck up?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Not sure yet, but I’m getting a damned clue.” He spoke from the corner of his mouth and never took his eyes off the SMT house across the street. Like all the other frat houses on the block, their guys were out on the lawn staring at the chaos that was ALA. I’d never tell my brothers, but some of those dudes were seriously cute.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I crossed my sneakered feet.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">But then I’d never tell my brothers I thought any dude was cute.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Tray thrust his chin toward Rand. “Share.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Rand turned and lowered his voice. “JC and Rex say they saw a couple of the Poins sneaking out from behind our house like forty-five minutes ago.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">The Poins were what we called the frat bros at Sigma Mu Tau. Short for Poindexters, aka <em>nerds</em>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">The words shot out of my mouth. “The Poins set fire to our fucking house?” I bit my tongue because Rand really looked at me, and that made me want to go back to the holly bush. But damn, ratfucking with practical jokes was one thing. Burning down a frat house—my frat house—was way beyond. Just the thought made me breathe hard, and I had to suck air in through my nose. Hell, the cost of living in the frat house was doable for me—barely. If I had to move? I shied away from the thought.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Rand said, “I don’t know. But if they did it, Dean Robberts is going to eat their balls for breakfast.” He grinned evilly. “I’ll make sure of it.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Tray chuckled.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">All three of us stared across the street. The SMT president, Jax, stared back. He was kind of a hipster with a beard and wool beanie permanently attached to his head. Rand hated his guts. Next to him was that skinny guy, Dobbs, who was so obnoxious there should be a restraining order on his mouth. Our rivalry with the SMTs was tradition and kept the ALAs on their toes. But when it came down to it, I had way bigger things in my life to worry about than those douchebags. If the rivalry fucked with my house and my scholarship, then, hell yeah, the SMTs and I had a significant problem.</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p>

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3838683348">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
<br />The theme of this story is actually a cliché romance. A jock met a nerd, jock in the closet, the nerd is out and proud, but they fell in love and love conquers all.<br />But the way <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7020231.Eli_Easton" title="Eli Easton" rel="nofollow noopener">Eli Easton</a> and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4541791.Tara_Lain" title="Tara Lain" rel="nofollow noopener">Tara Lain</a> tells the story is captivating and beautiful. Especially when they added family and how much family will support you or kill your dreams.<br />This series can read as stand alone, thee couples, at the same time/event, three books but each book is telling a different story.<br />Started with a silly fight between the brain and the muscle, ended in Dean's office, and they had to mingle. It was a chaos in the beginning but ended up with finding out their 'other' talents, and romances.<br /><br />Dobbs is an out and proud geek, had to 'train' Jesse, the closeted jock to do Quiz Bowl. Not really a hard job, surprisingly, Jesse is smarter than they thought. It had to be a regular coaching, but when the coaching involved family and two autistic twins who liked Dobbs too much, it becomes a little bit personal. I won't elaborate why Jesse did that or why he's in the closet while his friend Rand is out.<br /><br />Schooling The Jock is a cute campus romance with an addition two adorable ten year old twins that stole my heart. <br />I enjoyed this story too much it was hard to put it down.<br />Cannot wait to read another two installment in this series!<br /><br />Recommended!<br /><br /><i>ARC provided by GRR ARC team for Lelyana's Reviews.

Now, as a uber-successful venture capitalist for eco-friendly startups, he doesn’t let anything get in his way—whether personal or professional. When a new fitness app schedules a site-wide cycle race, Greer’s competitive side won’t let him back down. Not even when his undivided attention turns to the one racer he can’t beat: Biker101.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Dallas Reigns learned a long time ago to keep his head low and his focus forward. He gives his all to a business he started with his brothers, BikeBro. But he worries his all might not be enough if they can’t gain traction before their financial ship sinks. A chance meeting with a hard-hitting venture capitalist is just what they need. Until his resistance is tested when the striking blond man shows interest in more than just his company, challenging all Dallas’s etched-in-stone boundaries.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When the illusion of Dallas’s life threatens to crumble under the weight of his own desire, can he find a way to fortify his iron will, or will Greer help him breakaway from the restraints of his past?</div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></div></div><div style="text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></div></div><div style="text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></div></div><div style="text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></div></div><div style="text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Find out more by visiting www.kindlealexander.com or email me at kindle@kindlealexander.com</span><div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><b></b></span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.kindlealexander.com/contact-us/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhivK6WOq4A1TbgF8s2IONh36OdYJne1AG029KWr6yyOlR7i1yT3H1u9OABq4jwuFfSf30vFdsXJXh-bPomOdnUNoYjgthq8u6YuEPfiDTTpi5KtUeC5Uil77hEPVjP8WWu8Rs1coG5ujwr/s1600/NEWSLETTER.png" /></a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/AuthorKindleAlexander/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaLxVJhXcqivtZmsj6mkURewReti480oceLs7px9tiY3i3rjL5q3clV6aIjFuHCmrVRF2Q4D52BHuAV_ED8FmIiVylVtTSkPtVrvHw5Fp_PxS_Ao2dIg8icQPfkaBaK9ocbqpmwDisIarr/s1600/facebook.png" /></a><a href="https://twitter.com/KindleAlexander" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYEKZvW-UHGZo7cESd59YxjgcdRACI9Pfx4LGsHRbd16aS-qqY7H_l7ZBa-g132TF1nUc8xagADuhXUDiPLE1GNlLO32D2oN6P1KZ2r_3ycGlhBGgZAi5Pk5lCl5LwP3jrFkNa8AgmoiV2/s1600/twitter.png" /></a><a href="https://amzn.to/2JXnKRF" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfJVkGxNiF1JirtOPA7ChRFN3xb8hx0xYJsBti3_6tlsPrxp-zKLS4JaVZpy65utQEceMxN_yfvjTzqXzFD-SFZ1vGtZqpxcjbhJVNiXveKAwCUXtsZG4KfSf0eCwConYR7kZO0kibIsoV/s1600/AMAZON.png" /></a><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6421828.Kindle_Alexander" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8MFgusSa20EJrb-kFfIvtPS8KTUEebKAwMuDiiYfqzLjGLuHL2Vhvj_X0eD3mo6kVe4ssXEAprflC4Ywu96kQcmhKZSzeRAFGv-bkO-DGdfIhMFd-mbnsYUwqqeeohf_qjAsbJjCnZWlN/s1600/goodreads.png" /></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/kindlealexander2.0/?hl=en" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbmf-fQBu1qV6KYkq8gvOY2cU5D2dCTDPD5yyIAFTvWgKVb4Vkyz2Rm4_oiu3IcK-dYSGh6oC7MHi1o9iMUvoB6qiwezpVc5W1T-Jr9E0cgvnVTwTlhcA5e42iiHLcUdiAOqNI8QDFsc6p/s1600/instagram.png" /></a><a href="https://bookandmainbites.com/KindleAlexander" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="72" data-original-width="72" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdu0-2WhK7YaVbWCscQIW9yHsMx7Xo33QaT8wokw4squVMEaG9EIuoDtrmoSh2itk0efUkVe9yRakkk83rZ8Lf12biFbH7_MJqlMb3zuw-Yx2ejIrkhPHn66IfXRUpdGXMwv56MGJ3deAe/s1600/book%252Bmain.png" /></a><a href="https://www.bookbub.com/profile/kindle-alexander" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="72" data-original-width="72" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvg9s5cxJBNM7d2FTGDTueOsVMlP7WIMJPWgq9iK4aksGhllpJeKECp22tl4WZgBHy9p9XupKuH40s3r_DGqmNHrzC0RavBoB3pn5h6HIetY2yUMOSux6f0OKQ9fehYsPWeBCE1sylQZt4/s1600/bookbub_circle.png" /></a></span></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvBJNvdCZk6nf1m4as1t6IslbnvwP2xDD9D9Y6qHnOlK3LRHytLqdL5p-7ePZW0Om-9vmV52DQ7Xn71ctdOKnyR4yuiBWJs6wz_Yjl1ikemflaouzgFTeaOV-lmlmARsg2VhqN7tWg3Sbs/s1500/Twitter-Breakaway.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="1500" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvBJNvdCZk6nf1m4as1t6IslbnvwP2xDD9D9Y6qHnOlK3LRHytLqdL5p-7ePZW0Om-9vmV52DQ7Xn71ctdOKnyR4yuiBWJs6wz_Yjl1ikemflaouzgFTeaOV-lmlmARsg2VhqN7tWg3Sbs/w640-h214/Twitter-Breakaway.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3808316614">3 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
I was debating myself before writing my review. I love Kindle and I was crazy about her book, <b>Always</b>.<br />Breakaway is a standalone story about Greer and Dallas who were met the business deal. I do not understand about online cycling business, just knew it from Will Morowski on Instagram. Probably because I had no idea about this, a little too much information and technical, bored me. Greer in my opinion is one of those clingy boyfriend that some people needed, but not me, I felt claustrophobic reading Greer's messages and how much he always wanted to be near Dallas all the time. It was exhausting. Also the too much telling didn't work out for me anymore. I have lost my patience too many time. I had to skimming and I hated it when I have to skim my reading. <br />I need to devoured every word written, but this one didn't seem hold my attention much.<br /><br />The story itself is simple. Greer met Dallas the closeted gay because his father is a homophobic b*stard and been on therapy, so he's kinda afraid to show who he really is. While Greer is out and proud. That's it.<br />This is a decent story if you're up for a long book and the telling not showing. <br />I knew I'm in minority with my opinion (kinda hold up a bit seeing all the five stars rating). But I have to go on with my opinion. <br />If you're a big fan of Kindle, please do read all the glowing reviews, you'll probably would have the same opinion with other reviewers in the end.<br /><br /><i>Ignore my bitter review</i>

And the absolute biggest mistake I could make right now would be to fall for Mikey Vining, my best friend, employee and, more importantly, Coach’s baby boy. I might fantasize about Mikey at night-—every night—but actually touching him would be a serious personal foul. <br /><br />And falling for him? That’s completely out of bounds. <br /><br /><b>Mikey</b>: <br /><br />I’ve learned my lesson about falling for one of my dad’s players. They’re a bunch of spoiled jocks with more muscles than brains. I’ve spent years learning to keep my eyes, and my hands, to myself. But resisting the temptation becomes nearly impossible when Tiller Raine and I end up together in a small cabin in a remote Colorado town. <br /><br />Suddenly, there’s not much to do but look at each other. And talk. And hopefully, hopefully touch. <br /><br />But what happens when our stay in Aster Valley is over and it’s time to return to the real world? Will Coach blow the whistle on our relationship? Or will Tiller admit there might actually be something he loves more than football after all? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><h4><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">Universal Link</a></span></h4><h4><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">Goodreads</a></span></h4></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"> <br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img height="512" src="https://gayrmncereviews.files.wordpress.com/2021/01/2-1.png?w=1000" width="640" /> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><blockquote><b><span><a name='more'></a></span>Excerpt</b>:<br /><br />I caught sight of Tiller Raine.<br /><br />No gay man on earth could catch his breath when faced with this guy.<br /><br />The team’s general manager began the introductions. “Mikey, have you met our newest wide receiver yet? This is Tiller Raine. Tiller, Michael Vining, Coach V.’s youngest boy.”<br /><br />I stared at the wide receiver like I’d never seen a famous pro football player before, which was pretty funny considering I’d been around them practically my whole life and usually didn’t give a shit one way or the other.<br /><br />But this guy? I gulped. This guy was freaking gorgeous. Like… melt your feet to the floor and make you beg beautiful. His body was muscled perfection, and his messy golden-brown hair made me immediately wonder what he looked like freshly fucked.<br /><br />I swallowed again, wondering if I needed a saliva gland checkup since mine seemed to be malfunctioning.<br /><br />“H-hi?” I managed to say.<br /><br />Tiller nodded and held out his hand for a shake. His reaction was all business, and his face was impossible to read. “Nice to meet you.”<br /><br />I reached for his giant paw hesitantly. Wide receivers were known for big hands and strong grips. But when Tiller’s hand clasped mine, it was gentle and kind. I stared down at our joined hands and wondered how much these hands were insured for. Incidentally, I wondered how much I’d have to pay him to keep his gentle, warm hand in mine.<br /><br />I jerked my hand back and hid it behind my back. “Can… can I help you with something, Mr. Lester?”<br /><br />Bruce raised his eyebrows at my formal language. He’d known me since I was a preteen, and I’d called him by his first name since I graduated high school. “Mikey, you okay?”<br /><br />No. No, I was not. I shook my head to clear it from the ridiculous baller-induced brain fog and focused back on my boss. “Yes, sir. Bruce. How can I help?”<br /><br />“Tiller here needs some help with his nutrition. I remembered this was an area of expertise for you, so I hoped you might be able to help us.”<br /><br />I nodded. “I spoke to Coach about it last night. I can’t think of anyone who would be a good fit. I’m sorry. You might—”<br /><br />Just as I was preparing to suggest he reach out to the department at UT to inquire about recent grads looking for work, he held up a hand to stop me.<br /><br />“You misunderstand,” Bruce said with a kind smile. “I was hoping you might help him directly. You can cook for Tiller through the season and start any new position afterward. That way he gets help learning how to manage his diet, and you have the freedom to continue your search without feeling rushed. What do you say?”<br /><br />Every square inch of my body began to sweat at once. “Oh.” I could have really used some of that saliva right about now. My throat clicked as I tried to swallow again. “Oh.” </blockquote></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img height="512" src="https://gayrmncereviews.files.wordpress.com/2021/01/1-2.png?w=1000" width="640" /> <img height="512" src="https://gayrmncereviews.files.wordpress.com/2021/01/4-2.png?w=1000" width="640" /> </span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Enter the Giveaway: </span></b><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">To celebrate Lucy's upcoming release, we are giving away 2 e-copies of Right As Raine! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Enter the Rafflecopter giveaway for your chance to win! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">A Rafflecopter Giveaway</a> </span><br /><br /></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Direct Link: http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/cc0f2a57118/</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img height="512" src="https://gayrmncereviews.files.wordpress.com/2021/01/3-1.png?w=1000" width="640" /> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><!--more--></span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="https://gayrmncereviews.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/lucy-lennox-logo.png" /> </span><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">About Lucy: </span></b><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">After enjoying creative writing as a child, Lucy didn’t write her first novel until she was over 40 years old.

<b>“That’s not how love works,” he said. “If you love someone, you don’t set them free like a damned butterfly. You chain them to your bed and use your mouth to convince them to stay.”"</b>

</blockquote><br /><br /><br />And that's what Mikey did :)<br />First of all, I truly happy visiting Gent and Winter again. And I was glad the story happened in Aster Valley, where everyone seems gay. Well not at first, but like Winter said, the place attracts the LGBT community for the friendly aura.<br />Mickey and Tiller have to face their internal problem, like a douchebag father who only care about football, and a closeted homophobic. I felt sorry for Mickey for putting up with that kind of parent. <br />Thanks to Tiller's accepting family, he's finally got a family who really loved him for who he is.<br />Five years of dreaming and wanting to be together, the NFL player and the PA/personal chef/housekeeper/bestfriend finally had a courage to be together.<br />This story focused on how much hurt your parents can do to you when they disagreed of your lifestyle. Especially when you are gay. And your parent is a narcissistic homophobic bullying a**hole extraordinary. There, I said it.<br /><br />I really enjoyed Mickey and Tiller. And I loved Mickey's BFF, Sam. Especially when he said those words I shared earlier :)<br /><blockquote>“That’s not how love works,” he said. “If you love someone, you don’t set them free like a damned butterfly. You chain them to your bed and use your mouth to convince them to stay.”</blockquote><br /><br />So according to Sam, when you love someone, don't let them go. Keep them. Do whatever it takes to make them stay with you forever.<br /><br />A little disappointment about the epilogue, but I think I'll let go. Cannot wait for Truman and Sam's story. April is just too long!

</span><p class="has-text-align-left" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">As the first openly gay professional football player, I can’t afford to make any mistakes, on or off the field. And the absolute biggest mistake I could make right now would be to fall for Mikey Vining, my best friend, employee and, more importantly, Coach’s baby boy. I might fantasize about Mikey at night-—<em>every</em> night—but actually touching him would be a serious personal foul. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="has-text-align-left" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">And falling for him? That’s completely out of bounds.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="has-text-align-left" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Mikey:</strong></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="has-text-align-left" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I’ve learned my lesson about falling for one of my dad’s players. They’re a bunch of spoiled jocks with more muscles than brains. I’ve spent years learning to keep my eyes, and my hands, to myself. But resisting the temptation becomes nearly impossible when Tiller Raine and I end up together in a small cabin in a remote Colorado town. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="has-text-align-left" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Suddenly, there’s not much to do but look at each other. And talk. And hopefully, <em>hopefully</em> touch.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="has-text-align-left" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">But what happens when our stay in Aster Valley is over and it’s time to return to the real world? Will Coach blow the whistle on our relationship? Or will Tiller admit there might actually be something he loves more than football after all?</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></h2><blockquote><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt:</span></h2><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I turned and ran right into a delicious-cologne-smelling beast.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Oh, fuck,” I blurted, windmilling my arms in an effort not to keel over.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Strong hands grabbed my sides and held me upright. I glanced up into Tiller Raine’s stormy-gray eyes and tried not to get a stupid crush on a cocky rookie football player which meant I jumped back with a choking grunt sound and almost fell over again.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The edge of Tiller’s mouth turned up the barest amount. I glared at him. “I’m fine, thanks,” I snapped before reminding myself this person was now my boss.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tiller’s nostrils flared. “Listen, Mikey. You don’t need to like this,” he said in a low voice. “And I don’t need to like this. But we both have a job to do, so let’s just focus on the job. Got it?”</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For some reason, that hurt. I wanted to be allowed to dislike him for no reason, but the same didn’t apply to him disliking me.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">“It’s Michael, actually,” I corrected, even though absolutely zero people used my full name outside of doctors and government offices. “And yeah, focus on the job. Fine.”</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">How many times could I possibly use that word in one day?”</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Fine,” he repeated with a nod.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Yeah. <em>Fine</em>.”</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">We stared at each other for a few beats before Tiller seemed to snap out of it and reached into his pocket for his keys.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Key to the apartment,” he said gruffly, handing it over. “I’ll get a copy of the house key made and bring it over to you after practice.”</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Thanks,” I managed before remembering what I’d been hired for. “Any allergies, picky eating, or health issues I need to know for your diet?”</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">He shook his head. “Whatever is fine.”</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Great. <em>Fine</em>. I’m sure I could narrow down the choices from about ten thousand options. No problem. “So… I’ll just… throw together anything?”</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The great Tiller Raine gave me a sum total of one word in response. “Sure.” Which suited me just fine. This time I’d made myself a promise. No sleeping with jackass ballplayers. No sleeping with players of any kind, in fact. And absolutely no sleeping with my boss.</span></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">After enjoying creative writing as a child, Lucy didn’t write her first novel until she was over 40 years old. Her debut novel, Borrowing Blue, was published in the autumn of 2016. Lucy has an English Literature degree from Vanderbilt University, but that doesn’t hold a candle to the years and years of staying up all night reading tantalizing novels on her own. She has three children, plays tennis, and hates folding laundry. While her husband is no shmoopy romance hero, he is very good at math, cooks a mean lasagne, has gorgeous eyes, looks hot in his business clothes, and makes her laugh every single day.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p class="has-text-align-center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lucy hopes you enjoy sexy heroes as much as she does. Happy reading!</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

<h3><span style="font-size: large;"></span></h3><blockquote><h3><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt From <strong><em>Hemlock & Thorns</em></strong> by <strong><em>J.J. Riley and Suki Gale</em></strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Welcome to Hemlock & Thorns,” I greeted the gorgeous, tattooed, and annoyed man standing near the door. “What can I help you with today?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"> The man in question looked up at me and while I could tell by the firm set of his shoulders that he was frustrated, it didn’t seem to be with me. Which I counted myself fortunate because he might be the hottest person I’ve seen in quite a long time. A black wide brimmed hat that hipsters were inclined to wear, a long, but well-maintained beard, a white t-shirt was visible under his black and red plaid button up, cuffed blue jeans, and black boots completed the look. As he stalked over to me I took in his warm brown eyes that took me in, with one quick look up and down.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"> “Hey man,” he gave me a brief smile. “I need your help and your shop seems like the perfect place for what I need.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"> Taken aback by his deep, rumbling voice and his words it took me a minute to respond. “What might that be?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"> “I know there is this whole language of flowers thing,” he waved his hands a bit, like he was too angry to find the words. “I need a bouquet that says ‘fuck you’ for my ex-girlfriend who isn’t taking the hint, something for her to leave me the hell alone. You have anything that can help me with that?”</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p>

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Living back in my small mountain town, in my childhood home, with my older brother, working at the library wasn’t as exciting as I imagined.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">That was until a stranger came to the library one night and turned my world around.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Night after night, month after month, I waited for him after dark.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">He never let me see his face but he always showed me how well he knew me. No one had ever read my needs so well or pushed me so far and I was in too deep before I even knew who he was.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><blockquote style="text-align: left;">
<h2><span style="font-size: large;"></span></h2><blockquote><h2><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt:</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I was in love with a phantom. Or maybe ghost was a better word for him. The love had come on like fire—nothing slow or subtle about it. One minute I’d been hot and the next I’d been burning. Ashes. Nothing more than the burn and aftermath he’d created. Reborn from his touch, to suffer until he decided to dote on me once more. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I hoped the snow wouldn’t keep him away. It had started falling after dark. The walk home would be long, even if it was only half a mile. I should have left half an hour ago but I couldn’t bring myself to.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Minutes ticked by, much too late for the library to be open, but I didn’t dare turn off the lights for fear of sending him the message that I’d given up hope. That I’d turned off the lights and walked home alone. To my empty cabin, to heat something in the microwave while I watched television. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I’d rather be here, with an old novel clutched in my hands. One I was only half reading, with one eye on the door. Waiting on my perfect stranger. On the man I wished I knew.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I craved him, missing all the ways I pushed his buttons, driving him to fuck me.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“My Prince.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">My back straightened and the book I’d been clutching fell from my fingertips, clattering across the floor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Deafening. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Yes?” My voice shook with the fear I felt the first time and ever. The gulp of terror, the bite of excitement in my gut. My breath hitched. I never wanted the panic to ebb. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">It swallowed me with its intoxicating allure. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“I’ve missed you.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">My heart nearly beat out of my chest. “I’ve missed you,” I whispered, scared my imagination played tricks on me. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Tell me, have you been good?” </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
I nodded before I realized he couldn’t see me and croaked out, “Yes, Daddy.”</span></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"></span></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;">

<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">All Zeke wants for Christmas is a Daddy for two. Can his wish come true?</span></i></p><b>Blurb</b><br /><br />Dear Santa,<br />If I could make one wish this Christmas, it would be for a Daddy with a big enough heart for two. We both want a Daddy who can be loving, but also firm when he needs to be, who enjoys spanking his boys and making their asses red, and with big enough arms to hold us both.<br /><br />We need a Daddy who can help us let go and relax.<br /><br />Lastly, but probably most importantly, we need a Daddy who can meet both our needs. I don’t have many boundaries as long as I can trust my Daddy, and I’m open to trying new things. Rett…well, he’s a little more reserved but he has a huge heart, and he’s the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet.<br /><br />Here’s the thing, Santa: I have a little over a week to convince Rett to stay. I don’t know if you can magic up a Daddy who can love us both, but I’m making this wish anyway.<br /><br />With hope,<br />Zeke<br /><br /><i>Dear Daddy, Please Hold us is an MMM Christmas romance, with a pair of army brats, an Englishman in New York who knows how to handle them, a purple triceratops teddy, and lots of sweet cuddles.</i><br /><b><br />This book is part of the Naughty or Nice multi-author series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but there are so many boys hoping that holiday magic will bring them their perfect Daddy, why not grab them all?</b><br /><br /> <br /><br /><b>Excerpt </b><br /><br />As they helped me clean up after dinner, I tried to work out what kind of scene would make them both feel cared for and wanted in equal measure.<br /><br />Then came a moment when we were all in closer quarters than we had been the whole evening. There wasn’t a lot of space between the kitchen counters and the breakfast bar, so while Rett was loading the dishwasher, I was drying the pots that couldn’t go in, and Zeke was putting the wine glasses away, both young men were within touching distance.<br /><br />I put down the pot I was drying and the tea towel, and as soon as Zeke had closed the cupboard door, I hooked my finger through his belt loop, tugged him close, and mashed my lips to his in a commanding kiss. He let out a throaty chuckle. When he pressed his body against mine, I felt the makings of an erection through his jeans.<br /><br />Rett was crouched down by the open dishwasher, eyes wide as he watched us. Had he ever seen his best friend kiss another man before? As I wrapped one arm around Zeke’s back, I wriggled my fingers at Rett, inviting him to join us. For a moment, I thought he wouldn’t, but then he stood, closed the dishwasher, and edged closer, one tentative step at a time. As soon as he was close enough, I put my arm around his waist and pulled him to me. They were standing shoulder to shoulder, their bodies tracing mine. I tore my mouth from Zeke’s and, with his saliva still damp on my lips, kissed Rett.<br /><br />“Oh, Daddy, that’s hot,” Zeke breathed as he watched the two of us kiss.<br /><br />Hearing him call me ‘Daddy’ sent blood pulsing to my cock. It was good to know Zeke felt comfortable enough to say it, and it made me long for the moment ‘Daddy’ would cross Rett’s lips too.<br /><br />Rett put his hand on my chest and gripped my shirt in his fingers. He relaxed a little against me, but there was still far too much tension in his slender body.<br /><br />“Now kiss each other,” I commanded.<br /><br />They didn’t hesitate. They kissed each other dirtily for me, sucking each other’s tongues as I held them. Then Zeke’s mouth was on mine again, and a few seconds later, I was kissing Rett once more. Zeke sought out Rett’s neck with his mouth, sucking and kissing in a way I was sure was going to leave a mark. Rett moaned as we both lavished attention on him, and his body became a little more pliant in my arms.<br /><br />I ran my hands down to their arses and squeezed, tugging them so I could feel every inch of their bodies against mine.<br /><br />“Let’s move to the bedroom.”<br /><br /> <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>About the Author </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Colette’s personal love story began at university, where she met her future husband.

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3692612913">3 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
<br />I was involved in a little drama almost similar with this story, but not really. It was just two twinks involved an a daddy. It's a bummer really, when in real life this situation is a little overwhelming, to make at least one of these three, struggled.<br />Not my drama, not my monkeys, but sure I know the clowns.<br />Beside that, if you're a fan of this author and the genre (Daddy kink, age play, and poly relationship), you'll probably love this story.<br />It was okay, though I'm not familiar with the writing and a bit struggled with the age play :))<br />My mistake is, I involved my heart a little too much while I red this story.<br />Sorry. This is an it's me, not you condition :( <br />

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ahhh... Christmas.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">A time for festive jubilation, peppermint-flavored drinks, savage games, and torture by song?</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Tyler<br /></strong>This holiday season I have it all.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">An amazing career. A growing bunch of family and friends.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>A fiancé.</em></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">A man who makes my life merry and bright.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Chance has made all of my snowflake wishes come true, and to thank him, I’ve created the perfect gift… here’s hoping I can keep the secret until Christmas morning. Even if his taste in music has become… questionable… I’m certain this is going to be the best holiday ever.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Chance<br /></strong>Tyler has spent years lacking all the good tidings and joy a big family can bring to the Christmas season. That doesn’t mean he’s never wished for it.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I see him watching those sappy movies with families rockin’ around the Christmas tree. I see the longing in his pine colored eyes for yuletide cheer.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The big man in red ain’t got nothin’ on me, because this year I’m determined to give him the mother of all gifts to make this Christmas the best one yet.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>Join Chance and Tyler after the epilogue of The B-Side in this holiday novella featuring two men more in love with one another every day. Holiday-themed puns, sappy sweet gift exchanges, steam so hot it will melt the stripes off a candy cane, and a snowflake-fluffy HEA.</em></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>Christmas Carols is a novella in the Perspective series following Tyler & Chance, the couple featured in The B-Side (book 1).

<h2><span style="font-size: large;"></span></h2><blockquote><h2><span style="font-size: large;">Special Release Excerpt:</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Tyler pulls back again, breathing a bit rougher, and drops his forehead against mine. “Good morning, my love.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Good morning.” Running my hand alongside his face, I push his hair back and peer into his pine colored eyes. “I’d much rather you wake me up like this than with that song.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">The edge of his eyes crinkle with mirth before he tips his head back with bright laughter, his entire body shaking above mine. Taking full advantage of his distraction, I quickly switch our positions, throwing him down against the mattress and using my hips to hold him in place. His laughter cuts off in surprise for only a second before I curl my fingers into his sides and tickle him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“You little shit. I <em>knew</em> you were doing it on purpose,” I growl as I take my revenge.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">“Damnit…Chance…okay…uncle…I call uncle!” he shouts out, the words broken up between pants of laughter.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I halt the movement of my hands but refuse to budge my body, enjoying the feel of him pinned beneath me. Over the past year, I’ve discovered and exploited how much Tyler loves when I control him in bed. That fact is further proven as I watch his breathing escalate and his pupils dilate, the color of his irises eclipsing with desire.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Collapsing my weight against him, I take him in a deep kiss, our tongues brushing against one another before I pull back and bite his bottom lip gently. Tyler moans and arches up against me, forcing me to release his lip as his erection makes contact with my exposed one.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
Sleeping naked has its advantages around here.</span></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"></span></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;">

King Tyler and Chance has been together for a year, and it's King Tyler favorite of the seasons.<br />Annoying Chance with his collection of Christmas carols is always his goals for his Chance. It was actually cute, because as much as Chance hates Tyler's choices of song, he can't say no to him.<br />This season is no exception, what Tyler wants, Tyler gets.<br />This is a heartwarming story with family Christmas Tyler always miss. And Chance didn't want it to pass. Because, he really wanted Tyler to be happy and getting his family together in this Christmas. <br />Sigh.

</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Arlo Wright’s introduction to his sexuality came when he saw his older brother’s best friend, Jack Cooper, in his sweaty football kit. Unfortunately, he didn’t have long to enjoy the revelation because he promptly knocked himself out on a table. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Relations between them have never really moved on from that auspicious beginning. Arlo is still clumsy, and Jack is still as handsome and unobtainable as ever.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, things look like they’re starting to change when Arlo finds himself sharing a room with Jack while on holiday in Amsterdam at Christmas. Will the festive spirit finally move them towards each other, or is Arlo just banging his head against a wall this time?<br /><br />From bestselling author, Lily Morton comes a warm romantic comedy set in chilly Amsterdam.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><hr /><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><blockquote>
<h2><span style="font-size: large;"></span></h2><blockquote><h2><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt:</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">He laughs and makes his way out of the coffee shop, the crowd obligingly parting for him like he’s Jesus with a bread roll. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I follow him, attempting not to ogle the gorgeous swell of his bum in his jeans. It’s a losing battle and one I’ve fought since I was eleven and eating soup in the kitchen of my family home. Young Arlo had looked up and seen a vision at the door—Jack in sweaty football gear that clung to his fifteen-year-old body like glue. And then Young Arlo had promptly had several revelations about his sexuality. He’d had to shelve thinking about them for a few hours, however, because he inhaled a crouton and, while choking, fell over and knocked himself out on the kitchen table. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Not my finest moment, but looking back, not my worst either. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">That summer, I spent several months following Jack and my brother around, much to my brother’s mystification, as we were at that point in our relationship where he frequently wanted to batter me. I ceased my youthful pursuit of Jack when two things happened. The first was that my brother threatened to pull off my arms and legs slowly and then tell mum, if I didn’t stop following him and impeding his wooing of his crush at the time. The second was that Jack got himself a girlfriend—Samantha Hampson. I’d wallowed in misery for at least a month, and then my natural optimism surfaced, telling me that he’d notice me soon and that Samantha was a total ho and unworthy of my beloved.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">He never did notice me, of course. Samantha went the way of many of his girlfriends, and then, after he came out as bisexual, his boyfriends. They were all perfect-looking, and they dated exclusively and generally looked like something from toothpaste commercials. But invariably something went wrong, and they’d vanish, only to be replaced by the next perfect specimen. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I curl my lips at the thought of his latest one. Steven, who is spectacularly good-looking but also a complete twat. He’s cold and deeply possessive of Jack’s time, but Jack never seems to notice. My stomach roils a little at the thought that Steven has lasted longer than anyone else. Maybe this is it. They’ll get married and settle down and raise children or penguins, or whatever people in perfect relationships do. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Not that I’d know. My love life is as scatty as my timekeeping, and my partners have all largely become the stuff of family legends—hilarious stories to be related at family parties to newcomers, like the time my boyfriend from university got stupendously drunk and refused to talk to anyone apart from our family dog. After a full weekend of deep and meaningful chats, Fee-Fee looked like she was glad to see the back of us when we went back to uni.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">I don’t think I ever expected Jack to look at me, though. I’m his best friend’s little brother. The nuisance whose knees he patched up after a fall and who he tried to teach how to fish until he had to give up when I fell in the river. He’d never look at disastrous me. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, even with this knowledge, I’ve never been able to completely shelve my youthful infatuation. Maybe because it was first love—intensely painful when it happens to you, like slamming your head into a kitchen table, but bits of it linger in lines on your heart. Maybe it’s also because he’s a genuinely lovely person, inside and out. He’s kind and thoughtful and clever and has never talked down to me.</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p>

Lily Morton never failed me with her stories. Merry Measure is one of my favorite trope, brother's best friend. And knowing that Arlo loves Jack since forever and ever. <br />Came holiday in Amsterdam where everything looks like in a holiday cards, Jack and Arlo had to be closer than ever. Like shared a room. Yeah. <br />You know what's going to happen when years of longing trapped in one room. <br />Arlo is clumsy and funny, while Jack is organized and all mister perfect.<br />But at some point, they're just like pieces of puzzles, completed each other. <br />Arlo the merry, Jack the measure. And no one is more perfect for Jack but Arlo.<br />I love the banters, especially with Jack's ex. Arlo is funny guy, and only with Arlo Jack can let go.<br />Merry Measure is just what I needed in this season. And I know wholeheartedly, I'll visit them again in a very short time!!!<br />And the question Jack wanted to ask.....<br />(Just a perfect ending!🥰)

Big plans. Still mourning the loss of his beloved father, he’s ready to sell the Forget Me Not ranch. He’s finally dusting off his boots, packing up his cowboy hat, and moving to New York City. Maybe he won’t have his horse to ride or a place to call home, but he’s taking his modeling career to the next level and making his dreams come true. First, though, he has to deal with a bunch of corporate types who don’t know the front end of a horse from the back.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Especially this one guy who can’t seem to stay out of trouble.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Or out of Shea’s mind.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jake Axelrod’s perfect family is shattered when his daughter stops speaking and his husband ends their marriage. Two years later, she remains locked in silence and Jake has closed himself off. His life is structured to the minute, and Jake is convinced he’ll be alone forever, until he’s forced to attend a company retreat at a dude ranch in Texas where he meets a cowboy who sends him spinning out of control.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jake can’t help falling…off his horse, out of a rowboat, and into Shea’s arms.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">And Shea is more than willing to catch him.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Neither man wants to let go, and the time they spend together—whether in New York City or Texas—only makes it harder to be apart. A decision needs to be made: work it out or say good-bye. Jake’s life is in New York, but he can’t walk away from Shea or the ranch, and Shea must decide if the dream of a lifetime will lead him right back to the place where he started, where his heart belongs.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Felice Stevens has always been a romantic at heart. She believes that while life is tough, there is always a happy ending just around the corner. Her characters have to work for it, however. Like life in NYC, nothing comes easy, and that includes love.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">She lives in New York City and has way too much black in her wardrobe yet can't stop buying "just one more pair" of black pants. Felice is a happily addicted Bravo and Say Yes to the Dress addict and proud of it. And let's not get started on House Hunters. Her dream day starts out with iced coffee and ends with Prosecco, because...why shouldn't it?

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3651121858">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
<br />This is the book that's so good, you want to finish it and don't want to finish it.<br />Forget Me Not is so good, sexy, heartwarming.<br />That's what Felice Steven's writing always do to me.<br />Another reason she's my favorite!❤️❤️❤️<br /><br />Forget Me Not is a proved that Felice and cowboys are a thing.<br />The chemistry between Jake and Shea, and the chemistry between Shea and Jake's daughter Stacey are off the chart amazing! Shea's acceptance that Jake has a daughter, and how he fell in love with Stacey and Jake at the same time, was like a dream comes true for Jake.<br /><br />It pained me reading what made Stacey didn't talk two years ago, a child shouldn't have to experienced such thing in their life. But thanks to Forget Me Not ranch, and Rambo the horse, and all animals there. Also the love and patience Shea gave to Jake's little girl, wins my heart.<br />Shea is the best and only one for Jake. No one beats that.<br />Like many of Felice books I loved, this one is about family and how important the family bond is.<br />Because at the end of the day, it's family that we comes home to.<br />Sigh.<br />Recommended!<br />
