Sharing our love of M/M Romance

Apex Predator (The Game Series Book 11) by Cara Dee: New Release Review

February 8, 2023 by Denise

The Game Series • Book 11 • Primal Play • MMMM • D/s • Second Chances • Hurt Comfort • Vacation Romance
Pack your sunscreen and strap in for a wild ride and a kinky vacation that doesn’t go as planned.

Lane Sawyer had no complaints. Not really, anyway. After all, he’d just been invited to spend a week down in sunny Florida with his amazing boyfriend Macklin and some of his kinkster buddies. That was exactly what Lane needed. Uncomplicated fun and the promise of no drama—and hopefully a close encounter or two with the apex predator of the Everglades, the Burmese python. He loved, loved, loved reptiles.

But Florida was home to more than one apex predator. When Lane arrived, he found himself face-to-face with their host for the week, his high school girlfriend’s dad. The man who’d once made Lane realize he was into men.

Macklin McKenna couldn’t wait to get away. The problem was, he needed a vacation from himself more than DC. But maybe a week in South Florida with his friends and his adoring boyfriend Lane could distract him from the fact that he was never getting over the man he was still technically married to.

Unfortunately, Macklin’s friends were fed up with his personal agony, and they’d ensured another apex predator was on his way down South.
–
The Game Series is a BDSM series where romance meets the reality of kink. Sometimes we fall for someone we don’t match with, sometimes vanilla business gets in the way of kinky pleasure, and sometimes we have to compromise and push ourselves to overcome trauma and insecurities. No matter what, one thing is certain. This is not a perfect world—and maybe that’s why the happily ever after feels so good.

The characters in the Game Series cross over in multiple books, as we follow not only new love interests but the background friendships and dynamics of a thriving kink community. The story of Lane, Ty, Macklin, and Walker begins here—but if you’re interested in secondary characters and the Mclean House journey, you won’t regret starting at the beginning.

Amazon – Kindle Unlimited – All Regions

I’ve really enjoyed this series. Some books more than others, of course. But they are always entertaining. And while I liked this one, it is probably my least favorite of the series. Too much and yet not enough.

The too much to start. There was a lot of reptile talk. Like, a lot. And I get it. That was part of the story, the guys going to the Florida everglades to hunt and kill invasive species. But I know more about snakes than I need to.

The not enough. Not enough GAME. They are also down there to get their kink on. And what the Doms have planned just isn’t enough. It was fun for sure, but not nearly enough.

The different dynamics is interesting. Lane and Macklin are boyfriends but not super kinky with each other. Macklin is still in love with his husband, but they only get along while they are in a kink setting. And Ty. He won’t put a label on himself (his prerogative), but he is very Dom like and toppy. He was the lone wolf at this gathering, but certainly doesn’t stay that way.

Which makes me growly because something something, I don’t do spoilers, but omg really?

There were a lot of people to keep track of. Besides those 4 there are 2 more triads. And since they are all together you do have to keep track. It made my head spin a bit.

It was an easy read, moved some plot along (mostly Macklin and Walker), sexy times and snakes. And iguana. And giant monitors. Shudder.

You should read it if you are invested in the series, but it’s kind of a meh from me.

At Their Mercy Book 1 by Cara DeeMy review:The Tenleys and Shay are by far my favorite relationship in the McLean world. So I was very excited to get another story featuring them.There's a bit of a throwback to the fire at McLean house and how it really affected Shay. A little bit more could have been spoken abut how he dealt with and overcame his fear of fire after that. But, what fun is that, amirite?This story mainly deals with the three men living their lives as a happy throuple, but also with River and Reese learning that they can open up and share real details about their lives now that they aren't gray men any longer. We also got to meet someone from their past (no spoilers!).Of course we got some other McLean participants. And even with a pseudo-wedding/commitment ceremony, the Tenleys and Shay weren't overshadowed at all. This is book 1 of a duet and I can't wait for more!4.25 Pieces of Eye Candy ...

✨TEASER: MY MERRY MÉNAGE by @lex.ambermm & @authorbecbenson releasing November 1st! Why you will love this book…❄️MMM holiday romance 🎁Established couple adds a third ❄️Cozy 🎁Very low angst ❄️Hookup Turns Into More 🎁Friends to LoversScottyIn my mid twenties an attractive couple moved down the hall from me and I was never subtle about my interest in them.On an amazing vacation fifteen years ago, I was lucky enough to actually live out my fantasy of hooking up with them and it was even better than I’d imagined.Shortly after, I met someone and we ended up moving across the country. Over the years, I lost touch with Joey and Patrick, but I’ve never forgotten that night with them.Now I’m forty, single, and back living in New York City. The last thing I expected after running into them was an invite to a cabin for the holidays or that their vacation hookup rule would still be in place.I’m definitely interested in reliving the best hookup of my life, even if I’m not sure how it will go after so many years apart, but there’s no way I’m turning down their offer.Looks like I’m packing my bags and heading to a snowy cabin in Vermont for what’ll probably be the steamiest Christmas I could ever agree too.My Merry Menage is a cozy, low angst MMM holiday romance where an established married couple adds a third to the relationship.#lexiamber #becbenson #holidayromance #mmmromance The Author Agency ...
