“I don’t need you to talk, Brian. I can hear you just fine,” Sway whispered softly, kissing his throat.
Ooh, I loved this. Badass bounty hunter, mute former special forces soldier with PTSD and his smaller, badass nurse boyfriend. My heart hurt for Brian so much, but got all healed up again eventually because of Sway who decided to stick with Brian, and who could understand him even though Brian doesn’t talk. He didn’t need to when they had such a great connection. And even though their story technically starts with a casual hookup (in book 3), the book is actually a pretty slow burn which I loved. It’s also refreshing to read about characters who want a relationship from the start. I just wanted to hug and comfort Brian.

“So. You drive the hottest black car I’ve ever seen. You wine and dine. You build and create.” Sway glanced around the kitchen and out of the large window. “You seem to be doing okay for yourself. And, you hunt down bad guys at night.” Sway smirked and gave Brian a hot leer. “It’s like I’m on a date with Batman.”

I kissed the top of his head, catching Zeke’s stare as I did so. Zeke gave me a warm smile. There was no trace of jealousy in his eyes, only gratitude that I was taking care of the boy he loved.
A very cute book that pulled on my heartstrings. Two of the MCs (the little and the middle) have known each other since they were small. They’ve dated, they’ve broken up, they’ve gotten back together, and they’ve tried an open relationship. They love each other *so* much, but they’re both submissive (mostly) full-time bottoms, and they can’t quite make it work. Something is clearly missing, and que Micah the Daddy as a last ditch effort to try to salvage their situation. It sounds quite angsty but it honestly isn’t as most of happened before the book ever starts. It’s sad and you feel for them, but the book is mostly cuddles and fluff (and sex). Edit to say that even tho Zeke and Rett have tons of history, Micah never feels left out. They are definitely a balanced trio.
“Is this a dream?” I asked. “Is this real?” Micah ran his fingers back and forth over the small of my back. “Can’t it be both?”
This is the second time I tried reading it. As with the first try, I kinda lost interest around the 60% mark. Nothing I can put my finger on and certainly nothing wrong with it, it just kinda stalled out for me. This time I finished tho, and it continued to be sweet till the end. Some issues with their situation are introduced after 60% which for sure helped, but still very easy.
There’s a couple of the sex scenes that are really erotic and intimate, not just smutty, which was really nice. You really could feel their connection and love. There’s also just lots of smutty smut, lol. Did I mention there’s a double-ended dildo?

“You went before me, so I asked him if he’d ever seen a dick as big as yours.” I shot him a look. “You didn’t.” He grinned sleepily. “Did. But he didn’t answer me. Did smile though.” “Oh God.”
I really liked that there was a bit more going on in this third and final book. There was obviously tons happening in the first book, but even though it’s just been a lovely love story since then, my brain needs something more to happen after a while. Stuff going down kept me interested.
I also didn’t expect the spice to be so damn hot, after the (understandable) slow burn in the previous books. Justin loves getting a good dicking, and it was fun to read, as well as very sweet in ways, because it was another way for Dallas and Justin to reconnect.
The found family aspect was so nice as well. I love reading about supportive and loving chosen family. These boys deserve all the good friends they can get.

Because when I fell in love with you, it was forever.

It gives me strength and hope, and it makes me realise there’s more to my life than just me. Falling in love with you, Juss, was the single best thing to ever happen to me. Ever. I was feeling kinda lost until you came into my life.”

He sighed and leaned against the back of the sofa, holding my hand and looking at me all gooey. It did crazy things to my heart. “You make it easy, you know,” he whispered. “Make what easy?” “To fall in love with you.”
I made the mistake of listening to book 3 before I reviewed this one, and then waited several days before starting the review. I don’t really remember what happens in which book anymore, lol. I do know that I really enjoyed the book. It’s a very heartwarming and lovely story about two people who are obviously meant to be together. Dallas is the most supportive and loving person ever, and would do anything for Justin.
I do feel like I would’ve enjoyed it if the books were a tad bit angstier honestly. They’re sort of heavy, but not angsty. Still great obviously. N. R. Walker does it again.
I don’t actually remember if this starts in book 2 or not, but I think so: the fact that Justin is a total c*ck-hungry size queen bottom was the nicest surprise, and when the spice started spicing? Oh boy. More on that in the review for book 3.

“Fucking hell, Dallas,” he said. “Your dick is huge. Should I . . . I dunno, should I get it its own pillow?” […] “It’s huge.” He was still staring at my dick. “I mean, it explains a lot, like why I spent four years with a Bulldogs supporter.”
“Can I get you anything? A juice or a cup of tea?” He smiled. “A cuddle. Always makes me feel better.” “I can do that.” “A proper lie-down cuddle,” he added. “And you can rub circles on my back and put your fingers through my hair.”

“[…]I don’t know you the same as you know me, but my heart does. This is the only memory I can feel.” He looked at me with tears in his eyes. “My heart remembers you.”
I cried a small lake while listening to this audiobook. It was surprisingly low angst, but man was it sad. It’s a rough story, but you can always trust N. R. Walker to do it well and get it right. The characters are absolutely beautiful and I just want them to be healthy and happy. They’re on their way there, but I’m going to have to start book 2 as soon as possible. A great friend said the three books read more like one continuous story.
I very much loved this. Excited for the next one.

He closed his eyes and leaned into me, letting himself be held. And even though we’d kissed thousands of times, this was our first. Our very first kiss all over again.

Being in his arms is home. I’ve never felt like I had a home until him, and this is one I never want to have to leave.
This book is very far out of my usual reads, but I have a good friend who loves the trilogy and author, so I wanted to give it a try. I’m glad I did. It’s the author’s debut, which you can tell in some ways, but the story is really good, and just super charming. There’s something about the vibe I really enjoyed. You can also tell the author has more than enough talent, and I’m looking forward to reading the next book and seeing the development.
Again, I can’t quite articulate what it is, but I think it kinda gave me the same feeling as I got when I was younger and watching teenage shows, but like an adult version, lol (it’s spicy). I very easily fell in love with the main characters, Harley and Ezra. They’re young men, figuring out what and who they want in life, and suddenly get thrust into fame and contracts and money and fans, etc. I can’t even imagine dealing with that at my age, let alone 19 and 20.
The book (and I’m assuming the trilogy) heavily deals with mental health and especially Harley’s anxiety. I thought the author handled it well, and I could see myself in Harley several times. Again, I’m looking forward to seeing how it all evolves in the second book.

They start in on teasing each other as Harley and I turn towards one another. His eyes are alight with excitement, and his gaze roams my face. I tell my heart to settle the fuck down as it starts racing. What. Is. Happening.
“Sorry,” I mumble. “You don’t need to apologize to me for having emotions.” He reaches up to rub his knuckles along my jaw. “You’re allowed to feel.”
He looks into my eyes and says softly, “I like you… like, a lot.” I smile back at him, “I like you, like, a lot too.”

Something about him just made me want to go full octopus and wrap myself around his leg and beg him to never leave me.
This book was super okay. Cute sometimes, funny sometimes, a sweet story with dad’s best friend. It was also just a little boring, I think. Maybe longer than necessary.
Not a bad daddy, but maybe not the best one either? After reading so much kink and different BDSM dynamics, not discussing anything stresses me out. Both MCs are pretty casual about the kink, which is fine, but they didn’t talk about anything else either. They just jerked off over skype all the time, then someone fell on their face, and there was a thanksgiving turkey.
When our eyes met, he smiled, and butterflies erupted in my stomach. Wasn’t I too old for butterflies? Maybe they were moths. That seemed more fitting.

This was some sort of fucked-up dream. Or maybe I’d crashed my pickup on the way here, and I was really dying on the side of a road. I wasn’t sure that wouldn’t be preferable to Matthew finding out that, after he suspected me of making moves on his wife, I had, in fact, fondled his son.
Without another word, I grabbed his waistband and jerked it down. I wasn’t gentle, wanting to get him back in the mood of our sexy game. But damn, his jeans were so tight they barely budged. I had to peel them down, rather than yank them to his knees in a show of dominance. “Oughta spank you just for wearing these ridiculous pants,” I grumbled.
Despite what it might look like from the outside, I’d never been a rebel. I only ever wanted to make people happy. I just wasn’t very good at it.

Both MCs are pretty casual about the kink, which is fine, but they didn’t talk about anything else either. They just jerked off over skype all the time, then someone fell on their face, and there was a thanksgiving turkey.
When our eyes met, he smiled, and butterflies erupted in my stomach. Wasn’t I too old for butterflies? Maybe they were moths. That seemed more fitting.

This was some sort of fucked-up dream. Or maybe I’d crashed my pickup on the way here, and I was really dying on the side of a road. I wasn’t sure that wouldn’t be preferable to Matthew finding out that, after he suspected me of making moves on his wife, I had, in fact, fondled his son.
Without another word, I grabbed his waistband and jerked it down. I wasn’t gentle, wanting to get him back in the mood of our sexy game. But damn, his jeans were so tight they barely budged. I had to peel them down, rather than yank them to his knees in a show of dominance. “Oughta spank you just for wearing these ridiculous pants,” I grumbled.
Despite what it might look like from the outside, I’d never been a rebel. I only ever wanted to make people happy. I just wasn’t very good at it.

Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.
He wasn’t sure he could cope with this. How crazy to be so attracted to a guy who looked down on him like he was a worm.
I’m a little conflicted about this one. I mostly loved it. It’s got plenty of the stuff I usually love, with suspense, a bodyguard situation, mental health issues, mortal peril, all of that good stuff. I do however think the book needed more chapters, because it didn’t feel fully complete, at least not in a satisfying way *for me*. I would describe it as a tentative HFN, and unfortunately no epilogue to really bring it home.
These guys really had to work *hard* to be with each other. They got in their own way, in each others way, as well as external fuckery messing everything up. They both struggled massively with being vulnerable, and when one of them did lower their walls a little, the other one freaked, and they were back to square one. It’s of course a little frustrating to read push and pull like this, at least it is to me, but it also made a lot of sense for the characters. It wasn’t meant to be easy or straight-forward. It was heartbreaking at times, the way they treated each other, and for the longest time I thought Logan was really cruel. He isn’t, but he’s not that nice either, lol. Not that Zak is perfect in any way, which is evident from very early on.
In spite of this entire mess, I liked them together. They were both struggling in their own way, but managed to find some peace and happiness together, and I wanted that for them. I guess that’s also why I wanted the book to be longer, and an epilogue was sorely missed. I wanted to see them have that happiness for a bit.
This all ended up sounding negative, which honestly wasn’t my intention. It’s Barbara Elsborg, so of course I devoured the book in a short amount of time. She’s a brilliant writer, and this book is 7 years old already. It had the trademark Barbara Banter of course.
It felt like there was possibly meant to be a second book, or at least could’ve been, so I’m not quite sure how to rate it.

“I haven’t had a cig—” “Forget the fucking cigarettes. You won’t see a shrink, you won’t listen to anyone. What do I have to do to make you see sense?” Zak felt himself drawing inward like a snail, pulling back all his vulnerable parts, which was just about everything, and hiding inside his shell. Trouble was he didn’t have a thick shell
“So where are we going? Assuming we actually make it.” “Kreigenmuir. Look in the atlas.” “How do you spell it?” Logan couldn’t resist. “A. T. L. A. S.”
Figuring he’d given Zak enough time to drift off, he emerged to see him wide awake and staring at him. Logan froze. Neither his feet nor his mouth worked. It was Zak’s heavy sigh that broke the spell. The guy turned away to face the wall and curled up on the bed. “Don’t say anything. Just go,” Zak muttered.
Logan needed someone to care for him, though he’d pretend otherwise. Breaking down his barriers would be a long slow process but every step and the more Logan fought, the deeper Zak knew he’d slide toward love.

Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.
“You threatening Fox will always be sexy. You’ve got him twisted into knots, little minx.” “I thought I was a lamb.” “You’re fucking everything, is what you are.”
I’m sad about this series ending, but I’m glad we got Colin’s story before it was over. Colin has been a quiet but endearing, grumpy-as-hell side character for a bit, and he deserved to get his happy ending. Of which he got many.
I didn’t really care about the twins going in, but they were good characters too and the book was entertaining. Although, I must admit, Jay completely stole the show. He’s my favorite character from the series, so 90% of my highlights are about him, lol.
Knowing there was no expectation—that Colin could say no whenever, ask for exactly what he wanted when he wanted it—made it easier to want in the first place. He didn’t have to overthink it all. He could go with what felt right.
There was one loose thread that unfortunately didn’t get tied up by the end, which was a little frustrating, but it was good overall. There was an adorable drunk scene (those are my favorites), and plenty of hot threesomes.
I’m looking forward to seeing what Grae Bryan does next. I think I saw something about summoning demons, which can only be highly entertaining.
This book summed up. Colin wants to be snacked on, and finds two golden retriever idiots who are snackish.

Colin had realized years ago that sex appealed to him more in theory than in practice.
Overall, it wasn’t exactly the gothic mansion of Colin’s vampire dreams. More like the crappy haunted house of his mediocre nightmares.
“Why do you need to work?” he pressed. “We’re not charging you rent.” “Rent’s not the only thing that costs money.” “We have money.” Colin looked at him like he was the biggest idiot in the world. “Good for you.”
“When were you two turned?” he asked. Dane hesitated. He was so used to keeping secrets from the humans around him that it felt weird to say it out loud. But what harm could it do? “In the sixties.” “The sixties?” Colin whirled around to stare at him. “The nineteen sixties?” Dane blinked at him. “Yeah, 1967. Why?” Colin was looking him over, studying him like he’d never seen him before. “So you’re not even ancient. You’re just like…old men?” What the fuck?

Gigi shuddered. “Stupid hormones. I’m sorry. I can’t possibly yell at you and then demand an orgasm right after.”
I very much need to be in the right mood for Roe Horvat, and I’m not sure I was this time. I found it quite repetitive, and even tho this author can write smut like few others, once I had read one scene with all three of them, the rest felt pretty much the same, which is a problem when 80% of the book is sex. I would’ve liked to see more of the relationship development, and especially how Gigi went from not believing in love at all to being in love with two men. That was an interesting part of the dynamic, but it kinda fell away. It wasn’t *not* there at all, but I guess I wanted more of that and less gaping holes, dripping slick and screaming orgasms. Great if that’s what you’re in the mood for, but not so much otherwise. And I’m sorry dear Mr Author, but what the hell is this quote?
The cum was all I cared for. The cum was everything.
The book gets points for having a balanced throuple and distinct characters. It never felt like anyone was left out or less important. I enjoyed reading my first DAP scene. Just maybe didn’t need whatfeltlikeahundredmore, lol. Anyway, cute MMM mpreg omegaverse. Short and spicy as fuckin hell, if that’s your thing.
“It feels like we shouldn’t have sex without Gigi here,” he whispered. “No. At least not until we talk it through among the three of us.” He gave one grave nod and rested his forehead against mine.
Gigi at any given time, full of baby juice:

“I’ve met someone,” Dad suddenly said. I sat up straight, stunned. He hadn’t dated since my omega father left us when I was twelve. “He’s a little younger than me.” He paused, still not facing me. Seconds ticked by. So I said, “Oh?” “He’s… um.” “How much younger, Dad?” “He’s older than you.” Oh Lord. “Victor Trevisan, stop stalling and answer.” “You don’t get to full-name me. I’m your parent.”
