Loved it 🥰 

Skylar and Kit are wonderful characters who snuck into my heart and will be there for a while. Skylar lives his life the way he is - out, proud, flirty and femme. Kit is a cowboy and is a very successful rancher with multiple businesses. He’s always identified as straight until Sky has him questioning himself. It’s not a smooth transition as he processes this revelation and it does cause some angst for himself and for Sky. Fortunately they weather the crisis and through patience, communication and understanding get their longed for HEA after a couple of hiccups along the way. 

I found this to be a very engaging and enjoyable reading experience. There’s a bit of spice, plenty of feels, and wonderful characters. I adored Kit’s son Reed whose autism is written in such a beautiful and sensitive manner. His witty repartee had me in fits of giggles! There’s also some cameos from familiar faces to add into the mix. 

Fantastic romantic suspense. 

Every now and then I find myself reading a book and thinking “how do I write a review that gives this masterpiece the accolades it deserves.”  This is one such book. Jay Hogan has written a brilliant romantic suspense novel that kept me turning the pages wanting more. More of the story, more of the grieving irritable grump Nick and the introverted bibliophile Madigan, more of the intrigue and more of the bits that made me laugh and the bits that gave me so many feels. 

Circumstances have these two wonderful mid fifties silver foxes crossing paths and so begins a page turning story with intrigue, drama, suspense and romantic tension as Nick and Madigan navigate through these elements to get what they both want, a chance at love. It’s certainly not an easy pathway with plenty of external and internal angst filled bumps along the way but rest assured, Nick and a Madigan do get a very satisfying HFN. Nick and Madigan have more adventure heading their way and I will try and be as patient as possible waiting for the next instalment. 

Enjoyable fated mates romance. 

Sometimes you just need a little bit of fluffy sweetness in your life and this book certainly hits the spot for that. Beau does have a tiny smidge of angst when it comes to his brother Evan but otherwise his mating with Roman is pretty much all smooth sailing. Expect the usual steam that happens when fated mates find each other and the resulting pregnancy. As Beau runs the reopened bakery there’s not only plenty of sweet treats but also a couple of new faces to add interest. Roman excels in his role as the attentive Alpha to his mate revealing his softer side and also reconnects with his twin brothers after finding his place amongst their mates and families.  This is an enjoyable easy to read feel good book which was just the palate cleanser I needed. 

Once again the story telling ability of KC Wells gifts us with a beautiful romance and two wonderful main characters in Gio and Nick. Due to writers block Gio takes the opportunity to go to Bora Bora for inspiration where circumstances have him meeting and spending a lot of time with Nick. Their friendship blossoms and begins to morph into something more with a delightful balance between sweet and steam. Although Nick is holding back from Gio when it comes to one vital piece of information. That particular family situation leads to a bit of angst and drama both external and internal but nothing can derail Nick and Gio from a very swoon worthy HEA. 

The author’s description of Bora Bora made me feel like I was there watching the water and listening to the waves roll back and forth. I felt the need for cocktails from the bar and the desire to be with Nick and Gio as they explored this idyllic island. I was very much invested in their relationship which had me smiling one moment and feeling some feels the next. This is a very engaging and enjoyable feel good romance about love and acceptance with an ending that left me with a warm heart and a smile on my face.  

Lots of steam 🔥 

Kane is sweet snarky and just a teensy but bratty whilst Archer is arrogant, smug with a smirk that he often puts to use. Having formed a situationship as a means of escaping their child stardom, a decade later the situationship boundaries are beginning to blur. These two wonderful men have started to become friends who open up to each other. Before they know it feelings are shared, real conversations become a thing and a true relationship, not just amazing chemistry, between them blooms. There’s some external angst for them due to Archer’s career but nothing can derail their HEA. 

Having seen Kane and Archer in previous books it was an absolute pleasure getting their origin story told and watching them grow as a couple and individually as their relationship develops. There’s plenty of steam which is balanced with plenty of sweet, lots of appearances from previous books characters and a heartwarming HEA that made me smile. 

Want an absolute joy to read! 

It was so much fun catching up with the wonderful characters from the imagination of Lily Morton. Each of these short stories brought back happy memories of the books they related to and also created new memories for me as I laughed at the antics of the couples. From Gabe and Dylan to Mags and Laurie ten couples get to entertain us whether it’s from previously published newsletter stories to brand new ones - think Henry having a camping experience! I laughed so hard much and sighed at the love that all these men have for their partners. It was a very enjoyable and relaxing way to catch up with some favourite friends. 

Jax Calder certainly knows how to weave a beautifully engaging story that made me laugh out loud and cry. This is a story that pulled me in and wouldn’t let me go. Justin and Andrew are two wonderful characters that are strongly developed, flaws and all. Andrew endured an horrendous time at High School, a time in which Justin played a major role. When circumstances have them crossing paths again Andrew decides to infiltrate Justin’s life to exact revenge. So begins a remarkable journey of revenge and redemption, personal growth and healing which leads to a well earned HEA. An HEA that Andrew and Justin have to work hard for and an ending that left me smiling widely with a heart warm and happy heart. 

There’s some sweet and steamy times, cybersecurity plots involving trolls, two cats seeking world domination, the questioning of and exploration of British culture and a certain side character that makes me desperate for their story. 

Dante is perfectly unhinged! 

Mobster Salvatore has had a thing for Dante ever since he first saw him, unfortunately the feisty confident and full of sass dancer Dante doesn’t return those feelings - yet. Circumstances lead them into a quickie marriage where slowly but surely Dante learns that he can trust Salvatore with not only his love but also his secrets. Secrets that are about to come back and haunt him but this time he has Salvatore and all the Moretti’s at his back. There’s plenty of steam as Dante slowly lowers his walls and learns who he really is under the care of Salvatore. Rest assured though that the unhinged little angel still remains fiery! 

There’s some sweet moments, an interesting plot that kept me fully engaged with the rest of the Moretti men playing their parts and an HEA that left me feeling so very happy for for the wonderful main characters. A very enjoyable read that has me eagerly awaiting for more. 

What I loved about Matt (don’t call me Mattie) and Nick’s story is there’s just the right amount of spice perfectly balanced with just the right amount of tension and drama. There’s plenty of people that could be Matt’s obsessive stalker which keeps Nick very busy doing his computer and security magic. He also finally gets Matt to stop avoiding him after an embarrassing moment and the chemistry between them sparks to life. I did have an inkling regarding the stalker but wasn’t at all prepared for the twisty turn moment that made look back on the interactions with a different view. 

All the Saint brothers and partners from the previous books are of course involved and play their parts perfectly. There’s also some side characters that provide some interesting moments so all this combined with an intriguing plot meant I was fully immersed from start to finished and read this in one sitting. Once again the story telling ability of this dependable author didn’t let me down and I can’t wait for more of the brothers getting their stories told. 

Took me by surprise in the best of ways. 

I’m not really a big reader of books with characters aged in their teens as I find that I can’t connect with them easily. I put my faith in the story telling abilities of these talented authors and they didn’t let me down. I certainly didn’t have a problem connecting with Matt and Jacob as I just really like them. Matt is moody and prickly with a vulnerability that few people see whilst Jacob is a popular all round nice guy who sees the real Matt and not the person presented to the world.  

The road trip is filled with adventures and misadventures, good times and some moments that gave me all the feels. I smiled at the banter between Matt and Jacob and laughed out loud at some of the road trip antics. My heart felt heavy at times but I was all warm and sappy with a big happy smile at the end. 

It was an absolute joy going on this road trip with Matt and Jacob and watching their platonic friendship morph into more. There’s a bit of spice, some external angst and a very “happy boyfriend’s in love” ending.
