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.

My review: Chase by Raleigh RuebinsI fell in fast with this one. WhewI feel like I've known guys like Chase. Just kind of a mess because of ADHD, family trauma, drugs, alcohol, etc. And so many of them are artists. Like Chase.And when he first meets Logan...things are interesting. The hot and heavy affair- no labels- continues while Logan is in NYC. But eventually he goes back to LA. But a year later...We don't see what happens in that year they are apart but Chase does some serious growing as a person. So when they meet again, Chase is more the man he was meant to be. Their story was deep, complex, full of feeling and growth. I absolutely loved them together. Logan was afraid of Chase getting sucked into the social media celebrity machine like he was. Chase thought he wanted to be there. Have people recognize him. Get his art out there. They both need to find a happy medium to the chaos.4 stars instead of higher just because there were continuity issues that bugged me. Especially something fairly big that happened toward the end.4 Pieces of Eye Candy ... See MoreSee Less
