Two Chicks Obsessed with Books & Eye Candy

Sharing our love of M/M Romance

All He Needs by Ann Grech: Release Day Review

February 10, 2019 by Denise

When a former pro-snowboarder finds himself caught between two men who have stolen his heart, it takes heartbreak and a hit of reality for him to start believing love is truly all he needs.

I didn’t think it’d turn out this way: my life story in a nutshell. Life, Karma, whatever—it was testing me. Pushing me to the limit of what I could endure and beyond.

But in the steaming pile my life had become, I felt it. The spark. Like my soul met its counterparts, or whatever the corny saying was. I didn’t think it was possible. For a closeted guy, falling for not one but two men was never going to be easy, but I couldn’t deny its truth. Mace and Rick were….

Then I had to leave. My sister needed me. Having a baby alone was out of the question and I couldn’t wait to be an uncle. But going to stay with her in Florida meant leaving them. New Zealand and the USA couldn’t be further apart.

I’m not a saint. I’ve screwed up more times than I can count. But I was trying to redeem myself. Gracie, my niece, needed me to be a better man. If only there was a way I could have both—men to love and a family close by.

This is my truth, and this is all I need.

A MMM Romance.

Amazon

Okay, so, first things first, I did not read this blurb before I started reading it. I saw a guy with a baby, and thought, this is all I need… Hot guys with baby’s, they’re my kryptonite. However, I’m not a fan of menages, so I was a little hesitant when I found out that the story would be between Mason, Rick, and Caden. I’m telling you now, that if you, like me, don’t care for the trios… get over it! Lemme explain why.

Caden was a pro-snowboarder….which okay, I’m also not a fan of athlete’s or musicians or just rich people in general. I like my heroes to be blue-collar dudes with real-life problems and realistic obstacles… not, omg, my life suck, but I have all this money and great looks, and adoring fans and blah blah blah….again, Jen.. get over it!

When Caden was suspended from his sport for having an illegal drug in his system, he was at a loss of what to do. Falling for his two straight friends has also got his head jumbled up… so when his single pregnant sister is about to give birth.. going home to her and helping her out seems like the right thing to do…. To get away from his feelings and his failures, it’s as good of a plan as any, right? Unfortunately, life sometimes has a way about kicking us when we’re down, and when tragedy strikes yet again, Caden feels so alone, trying so hard to raise his sister’s new daughter. He’s a mess, he doesn’t know what he’s doing, but he loves that little girl so much already.

When Mason and Rick find out, they’ll stop at nothing to do what they can to be there for the guy they’ve also fallen for. Unfortunately, it’s a rocky start with Mase, having had a hand in some of Caden’s failures, but don’t worry… it gets worked out quickly. There isn’t a lot of drama and angst in this one, and I like that. These guys were going to have to juggle quite bit to get to where they all wanted to be…

First, I loved Riccardo. He seemed to be the more decisive one in the group. The way he just loved both of his men and wanted to take care of them was hot. He was the more dominant one, and not just in the bedroom, although that part was hot too. And the way he loved his guys and Gracie was sweet…I kind of fell for Rick myself.

Mason was the sweeter of the group. He loved big and fell in love with Gracie the second he laid eyes on her. He was confused, at first, why he was having feelings for both of his guy friends, but, he worked it out himself, fairly well. He was the softer and sweeter of the group, and all he wanted to do was love his family…the family that he wanted with Cade and Rick. It’s why I fell a little bit in love with Mason.

And Caden… having lost so much in his life already, and was losing his dad in the middle of trying to do what was best for his sister’s daughter… well… he was a big ol mess that just needed a little saving. Everything that could go wrong, was going wrong and he was barely holding his head above the water….You know how I feel about the wounded bird… and he fits that to a T. He was doing the best that he could, but he needed his guys to hold him up until he was able to figure out what to do and where to go with his new daughter. .you couldn’t help but fall in love with him too…. And together, they just work. I honestly couldn’t imagine two of them without the other. I couldn’t even pick if I had to… they all needed each other, and they all just fit together so perfectly.

So, I got the blue-collar guys with the pretty little baby, and the real-life problems and the realistic obstacles… throw in the really hot bedroom stuff and it’s a book you won’t want to pass up. I laughed a little, cried a little, and loved a whole lot! A perfect HEA.

Allegiant (The Firm Book 4) by Cora Rose and Lark Taylor. My review:Another winner for this series. Listen, you definitely have to suspend reality. But at the same time it seems so normal. Maybe because we don't see a lot of the "wet work" of The Firm. And these brothers are just so funny. They all have serious trauma from their father and they aren't the greatest at expressing emotions. But they love and protect fiercely. Even when they are threatening each other with daggers, torture and imminent death. Ahh fratricide. Must like one of the other books, Samson is tasked with killing someone they believe killed his best friend. But then he met him. Lust came first.Rowan is still grieving his best friend who was killed almost a year ago. He throws himself into work as a dancer and preparing for an upcoming show. But this handsome giant of a man helps him forget as well.Until, yanno, Samson figures out that Rowan didn't do it. And he has to convince his brothers of the same.Besides the regular cast of characters, we also meet Larry. Rowan's neighbor who he considers old and invalid and he kind of forces friendship on him. And helps him out around the house. The more we learn about Larry, the more interesting he is.Rowan also helps Samson come out of his shell a bit with dance. Something Samson loves but only does in secret. Never in front of anyone. Until Rowan. I was a bit perplexed why Rowan was able to forgive one person for something but not Samson. And He does grapple with that himself. But I appreciated that Rowan really stuck up for himself and wasn't going to just accept what happened.These two were so great together. Rowan defending Samson to Samson's brothers made me want to stand up and cheer. And Samson refusing to just go away after the big fight. He was fine in the shadows. He just needed to keep Rowan safe. Swoon.If you've read the others, you'll really enjoy this.PS: as someone who grew up going to dance classes who also had a some who went to dance classes for 10 years, I wish more research was done so those parts of the book were more accurate.PPS: THAT EPILOGUE!4 Pieces of Eye Candy ...

I’m projected to be the first overall pick in the NHL draft this summer, and have been nicknamed a franchise altering talent.But with high praise comes a lot of pressure I can’t escape, and has resulted in me being a rookie in more ways than one.The only problem is there’s only one person I feel safe with, and I'm pretty sure there are rules about not crushing on your teammate.TylerEver since I met Colby, I’ve kept an eye on him. No one should have to put up with the pressure the world has laid on his gorgeous shoulders and the defeated look in his beautiful eyes. But you shouldn’t notice these things about your teammates. So when Colby asks me to teach him everything I know in the bedroom because I’m the only one he feels safe with?I should say no, but there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for Colby McKay.I should’ve known it wouldn’t be as simple as a friends with benefits arrangement.✨INFLUENCERS: Sign up here to promote this awesome release: bit.ly/ROOKIEMOVESSIGNUP#jodioliver #hockeyromance #mmromance The Author Agency ...
