The Sheriff’s Troublemaker by Kelly Fox

I’ve been wanting to read Kelly Fox‘s work for a while now, but haven’t for one rather silly reason. I know a Kelly Fox in RL, and she would NEVER write or read an mm romance, and I think my head couldn’t get around that, so this was the perfect opportunity to jump right in. The author wrote a little forward about the MC Jason for the readers (which was SUPER helpful for me not having read anything by her) about him having been a “wholly irredeemable asshole” in previous books, but had been working through getting him to be redeemable after all. Read the forward, too, it’s funny. Now on to the review.

We meet Jason in a rather hilarious way. He’s basically tagging a billboard with graffiti, being naughty, when the town Sheriff shows up to catch him in the act. And this pattern continues. When Jason is upset, hurting, stressed out, he acts out until Patrick the Sheriff shows up, they banter with lots of little snarky and funny comments and Jason is let go with a warning, most of the time.

We learn that Jason and his brother have struggled hard since they came out to their parents and their father set out to ruin their lives, which is how they both end up spiraling. Jason by needing a Daddy to take control of his self destructive tendencies, while Justin turned to drugs and alcohol. Jason spent a lot of time trying to save his brother, and he could never seem to get ahead, or a handle on how to deal with him. It obviously caused him a lot of pain, which kept him spiraling. The scene after the accident had me reaching for tissues. Justin made me want to reach out and hug him as well.

Patrick was a solid stable force for Jason, as he slowly began to understand what Jason was going through, and giving him a well deserved and very much needed spanking. But they had a lot to deal with, and I will say I cried more than once. Jason had a lot to deal with, and Patrick was able to be there for him, even if they had to hide it.

They really were perfect for each other in so many ways. And the sexy times….holy buckets….you might not want to read this out in public. 😉

My biggest thing in this story…I wanted to see a bit more about what happens with Justin, but maybe now if I am going to read more of this author, I might find out. 🙂

Bite Me, Daddy by Mia Monroe

Not having read anything by Mia Monroe, I wanted to check this one out. The author seems to really like vampires, which turned out to be great for this story!

What a super sweet, with definitely a lot of sexy, story. Sebastian as it turns out is a vampire, but also a Daddy. Actually this story had a lot of plot points that were not your average Daddy story. Scout wanted the opportunity to dominate his someday Daddy (spoiler alert, he gets to eventually), but still wanted to submit to him, allow him to pick things for him, etc. Meanwhile, Sebastian was just looking for a home, a coven where he felt comfortable to be himself, have a found family. When he meets Scout, Sebastian knows he’s found that person. Sebastian really was very sweet, caring and found several ways to help take care of Scout.

This story had a lot of laughs for me. Sebastian being able to read Scout’s mind, as Scout was mentally saying things about how hot he thought Sebastian was, and later how crazy he thought Sebastian was, as he was told that he was a vampire.

There were quite a few touching moments, with some hurt as well. When Sebastian says that Scout is his soulmate, and Scout freaks out, I felt bad for Sebastian. However, he was persistent, as he kept trying to convince Scout.

This was fun, sexy, and still had some good feels.

Cruising for a Daddy by Jacki James

Jacki James is another author I haven’t read, but will be checking out more of her books, after reading this one.

Adam is given a birthday present from his sister of a cruise that just happens to have a group for BDSM. He isn’t very happy about having to take time off work for it, but gamely sets out with his sister and her wife on what he describes as a blind date. However, her goal is to help him find a boy that will make him happy.

Meanwhile, Ollie and his best friend buy this cruise for themselves as a college graduation present, hoping to have a great time, and start themselves down the road of finding the Daddy they each are looking for.

Seeing how Adam and Ollie had completely different attitudes to their cruise was funny. Adam was basically just grumpy about it all, about going on the cruise, then about having to do activities outside of his suite. While Ollie wanted to do ALL the things, even down to being up on deck waving as they left port.

After a misunderstanding, they meet up and it progresses quickly from there, with them agreeing to spend the week together. Adam was very respectful of Ollie’s time for his best friend, but definitely wanted as much time with Ollie as he could get. Adam was definitely a Daddy, wanting to be in control, while Ollie was sweet, with a sexy boy side.

There was no angst, just a sweet and sexy story, with an ending that was expected, Ollie going home with his Daddy. Adam making sure that Ollie could be independent, but still wanting to have his boy with him.

We Choose You (Choice Versus Fate, Book 1) by Katy Manz: Audiobook Tour, Exclusive Excerpt, New Release Review and Giveaway

June 30, 2022 by Denise

. .

James and Aidan didn’t need fate. They had each other.

Alpha James and Beta Aiden love each other and don’t care what fate has to say about that. Mating doesn’t need to be based on pheromones and scents. And kids? There were many ways to build a family.

When fate comes knocking years later, James does what any wolf in his situation would—he runs away. He has a mate he loves more than anything, and they’re just about to get everything they want: a family. He can’t risk losing everything because Fate decided to be a butt.

Omega Riley scented his fated mate once months earlier, and the wolf ran away. He is coming to terms with his singledom. Everything is going as well as it can, that is, until his fated mate’s children walk into his classroom.

We Choose You is book one in the sweet with knotty heat MM shifter mpreg romance series: Choice Vs. Fate. It features an alpha wolf shifter who mated his beta best friend, the omega sent by fate, true love, twins who will steal your heart, adorable babies, and a guaranteed happy ever after.

“Yes. God I missed you so much. Mm.” I loved hearing Aiden scream out. Some don’t like their partners to be vocal, but the more I heard his pleasured sound, the harder it drove me to get him to moan out more. I fell deeper into my pleasure and the search for mutual release. Continuing to pump his cock in tandem with my movements, I could tell this was going to be a quick one. I could already feel my knot forming. Usually, alphas couldn’t knot betas, but I always had with Aiden. Even if we could never have a family this way, our bodies fit and wanted that extra connection. Instead of ensuring conception, our locking together was for us to feel close.

Soon, the warmth of his release covered my hand as my cock spent itself deep inside his ass. We would be stuck like this for the next few minutes, so I gently maneuvered us into a nearby chair. After so many years, we were pros at getting comfortable wherever and whenever we ended up having sex. We’d also learned quickly never to do this in public unless we felt like getting caught. No matter if there was a witness to our lovemaking, there would be no way to quickly deflate. Some didn’t like the feeling for an extended amount of time. We found it amazing.

“So, how was the trip?” I asked as we caught our breath. With desire sated for the moment, I wanted to hear all about the art tour and my husband’s plans for the coming months.

“Great. I sold all the paintings I brought along and I got contracted for another twenty-four canvases before the next show in the summer. They want a beach feel to the collection but said I can follow my muse and see what it produces. I missed you though.” Aiden sighed and leaned deeper into me before continuing. “I was thinking maybe I should stop touring after the summer show. At least for a bit. Maybe we can revisit the idea of starting a family? We said we would wait a few more years, but I think the timing is right, now.”

My original 3 pieces of eye candy review of the ebook is here. And I wish I could say that I liked it even more on audiobook, which quite often happens with me. But in this case, no.

Generally, I listen to audiobooks on about 1.2-1.3X speed, mostly because it takes me so long to listen to one, that I need to keep going. 🙂 But wow, this narrator read so slow, that I ended up listening at 1.6X speed. And just to be sure, I went back to 1.3X, as well as 1.0X and it felt like he was talking through molasses. I just couldn’t stay there. Also his enunciation just seemed off and stilted. He seemed to emphasize the wrong words in sentences, and took me right out of the story. I was thinking that he must have been a first time narrator, but no, it looks like he’s narrated quite a few books.

The voices seemed not quite right to me, as well as the pitch…which I will admit could partially be because of listening at 1.6X speed. However, any slower and I just would not have made it through.

There have been very few audiobooks that I haven’t finished before. I finished this one, but it was tough. This narrator is definitely not for me.

I wish I could give it a higher rating, but 2 pieces of eye candy is all I can give.

A Foot in the Door (An Open Doors Novel) by Vinni George: Exclusive Excerpt and New Release Review

June 20, 2022 by Denise

. .

The student…

If he wants a job when he finishes grad school, Tanner Brown needs to get a foot in the door. But when he arrives at the country’s largest statistics conference to find he has nowhere to stay, he’s not sure it’s worth it. Especially when he realizes his hot faculty crush just witnessed his embarrassment from a front row seat.

The professor…

Dr. Beckett James is happily focused on his career until one of his former students slides into his line of sight. Tanner is brilliant and engaging, and when he ends up without a room, Beckett has no choice but to offer him a place to stay for the weekend. Even if it means testing his restraint.

The problem…

When their conference fling turns into an on-campus complication, Tanner and Beckett will have to control the variables that threaten to keep them apart or risk losing their chance at a happy ending before it’s even begun.

A Foot in the Door is the third full-length novel in the Open Doors series featuring a statistics professor who makes a mean curry, a ginger-haired student with a bright future, and an offer neither can refuse.

The crack and hiss of an opening soda can sounded behind me, and I heard Tanner clear his throat as he poured the fizzy water into the glass. “So how did you learn to cook?”

“Oh, um, my mom. She’s Indian and a feminist and made sure both my sister and I knew our way around the kitchen. Though, honestly, I think that might have been in part because my dad is the kind of guy who can burn water, and she wanted to make sure we wouldn’t starve if she had a late class.”

Tanner’s brow creased. “What does she do?”

“English professor. Her area of interest is modernism. She’s doing a guest faculty spot at Oxford this year.”

“So is your dad a lawyer, then?”

I gave him a confused look. “No, he’s a computer engineer.”

Tanner spun his glass on the countertop between his hands. “Oh, I thought maybe since you went into academia like your mom that your sister followed in your dad’s footsteps.”

A laugh bubbled up from my chest because there was no way Tanner could have known how completely different my sister and my dad were in every sense of the word. “Nope. Trudy is her own person and a bit of an anomaly.”

“Fair enough.”

“What about you? Are you following in someone’s footsteps?”

It was Tanner’s turn to chuckle, and I leaned back against the counter to watch as his face broke into a grin. I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t noticed the cut of his jaw or the fullness of his lips, and seeing him smile was a delight.

“Not at all. My mom does medical coding for a local hospital, and my dad is a mechanic. I’m the first person in my family to go to grad school, and quite frankly, neither of my parents really understand what I’m studying or what I hope to do.”

“I feel that. Even though my mom is in academia, English is a far cry from statistics. She doesn’t get why I’d rather study numbers than words.”

Tanner laughed, and the sound echoed through the kitchen and settled in my chest. “Like modernism is so easy to understand.”

“Right? But she’s obsessed. Has been as long as I’ve been alive and probably long before that. I mean, how else does a half-Indian kid end up with the name Beckett Eliot?”

“I was going to ask,” Tanner said with another laugh.

“Eh, my sister has it worse. Gertrude Virginia.”

Tanner grimaced. “Yikes.”

I’ve really been enjoying this series. All the men are very different and in different situations. Which, side note, HUGE props to the author on the timeline of these books. It isn’t easy to write a book where you can tell that something happens to another couple in “their book”, and keeping it within the timeline. It is easier, with a series, to have one couple go through their book, then move to the next. These books all have very intertwined timelines, and I just loved it!

These two met when Tanner was in Beckett’s class previously, but didn’t connect until Tanner is stranded at a conference and Beckett saves him by giving him a place to stay. Tanner, a poor grad student, is almost done with his degree, and ready to look for a job in his chosen career, and in fact he went back to school after working for several years, so he’s an older student, setting him with some real world experience with Beckett. He can only hope to work for the company that Beckett’s friend owns.

Beckett meanwhile never missed love, couldn’t have cared less about it, but in no time flat fell hard for Tanner. This led to the conflict of teacher/student at the same school, then later while Tanner was chosen to participate in a competition that would net him a job at the company of his dreams. I won’t spoil it, but what Beckett did was pretty cr@ppy, in my estimation. There could have been about 10 other options he could have chosen, and he went for the worst option…which, of course, they needed conflict, but this was not what I had expected, and it kind of left me heartbroken, as well.

All in all, though, I found the book entertaining, and enjoyed the geekiness of these guys when it came to numbers and patterns. They really were a very good match for each other. The cover fit the description of Beckett, to a T, as well.

I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in the series, Brody and Phin. There was some serious tension going on with these two during A Foot in the Door.

Stronger Than Hope (Chesapeake Days, Book 1)

Stronger Than Longing (Chesapeake Days, Book 3), Coming 10/22 /22

I really enjoyed the first book in this series. But I think I liked these characters even more…must have been the snark. Because the snark was STRONG with Nico and Hudson. And one of the things that I loved the most about their snarkiness…quite often if you have enemies to lovers, and tons of back and forth with strong snark/insult it goes away once they start to fall in love. Nope, not with these two.

Nico was a bit of a hard nut to crack, romantic did not describe him in the least. Him losing that snark would have been completely wrong for his personality. With Hudson it was just as strong, but he was able to use it to help him reach Nico when he was too focused on his pain, or the issue at hand. It was a chemistry that worked with both their personalities. Their physical chemistry once Hudson decided to meet Nico in the middle was very hot…I’m with Nico…gin and tonic, I might never think of the same. 😉

Nico’s mom…she was just amazing, and how she handled Nico’s questions regarding his father…I was in public when I read that…bad idea. *tissue alert* Meanwhile, most of Hudson’s family were complete a$$holes, and the fact that Hudson had to even give a tiny inch to his father made me grit my teeth, even understanding why.

Nico and Hudson really took their time to get to their HEA, and it was by no means a smooth road, they took many, many detours, but they really had so much in common, they made a very good pair. They just made sense.

We got to meet Silas, (tiny, tiny, spoiler ahead, unless you’ve read the blurb for book 3), who is Taron’s future guy. And we really learn next to nothing about him, other than Taron seems to give him a wide berth, and Nico seems to want to be warning Silas off. So, book 3, Stronger Than Longing, I’m gonna be watching for that, for sure.

All in all, really loved this one, and this series is really hitting the mark for me.

The sweet aroma of coffee roused me from bed, but the sight of my mate’s bare ass in front of the coffeemaker aroused me in a completely different way. Now, I was hungry.

I slid behind him and buried my nose in the crook of his neck. My hands glided across his rounded cheeks. A decade together hadn’t quenched my hunger for this man, and I doubted several more ever could. He was ambrosia, and I wanted my feast.

“Mmmm. Someone is happy to see me this morning.” Aiden moaned as I kneaded his ass and nibbled my way down his neck to the place where our mate mark rested. Even after all these years, he was extra sensitive to my touch. One flick of a tongue over his mating mark, and we were ready to devour each other. It was a mate’s kryptonite, but neither of us ever complained about using it as such.

“I am always happy to see you, Mate,” I growled, and my hands moved from the back of his sexy body to the front. I grabbed his cock in one hand while feeling his stomach with the other. My cock was nestled nicely in the crack of his ass, waiting for the moment we were allowed entrance to his true home. “I missed you. You were gone much too long.”

The tour of his artwork was a marvelous opportunity, but it made me lonely when it took him away for so long. He felt the same, even if we didn’t discuss it often. Of course, it made the time we were home together extra special. Twelve days without my mate by my side was pure hell. I missed his voice, his face, his presence. But twelve days without him in my bed had me needing him so badly right now.

“I missed you, too, baby,” Aiden whimpered as our bodies rocked and my hands worked him over. “Want to go back to bed?”

I thought about it for a moment. With the silky sheets and languid kisses, I could take my time and worship his body as he deserved. But then I looked at the kitchen table behind me and had a better plan. The bedroom was much too far for my level of desire for this man.

“No, this will do.” I swirled us around to face the kitchen table and bent him over, taking a moment to fully appreciate the deliciousness of his backside. The bountiful cheeks and the beautiful hole would soon welcome me inside. I grabbed the lube I had brought downstairs knowing if I saw my mate this morning, there would be no time to get us to the bed. I applied a generous amount of lube as I worked him open, getting him ready for my long, thick alpha cock. As a beta, he didn’t create his own slick, so I ensured we always had enough lube. I kissed his neck and licked our mating mark. I would never grow tired of seeing it there. It filled a part of me with pride he was mine. Soon, he was ready for me to fill him, and I lined up my cock to his hole and buried myself deep within him. This man has always been my home and always will be.

This storyline definitely has potential. I like the idea of having fated mates, but instead choosing NOT to have your fated mate in your life, but the one you feel most connected to, as James and Aiden did. They were obviously very in love. Choosing a life together, when it meant they could not have their own families in their lives. Then later, finding Riley, who is James’ fated mate.

First, James avoids Riley, which is very upsetting, obviously to Riley. Then Aiden gets to know him first, and connects with him. Before they all connect and choose each other.

There were definitely holes in here for me, though. Perhaps it came back to how the length of the novella, so it didn’t give the reader a chance to connect with the MC’s themselves much before they were moving on to the the next thing in their life. It was difficult to want them to be together, when I just didn’t really know them well enough to feel they should have been together.

Definitely some sexy times, and in all sorts of naughty places. I just needed a bit more meat in the story, for my liking.

“We’re here.” Osian nudged him out of his thoughts. “Not sure the Uber driver wants to idle forever.”

“Sorry.” Dannel muttered an apology to the driver and got out of the car. He leaned his forehead against Osian’s shoulder after the vehicle had driven away. “Maybe we should’ve stopped for coffee.”

“Poor lad.” Osian reached up to gently massage Dannel’s neck. “It could always be worse.”

“How?”

“Chelsea could’ve already won.”

“Arse.” Dannel went to push him away when flashing lights caught his attention. “Ossie.”

“Hmm?” Osian followed his gaze to the numerous police vehicles blocking off a section of the car park. “Someone’s died.”

“Checked your crystal ball?”

“Don’t be daft.” Osian gestured to a group off to one side near the entrance to the building. They walked closer, trying to see what was happening. “Haider’s over there. Why else would they call him in, since he mostly handles homicides?”

“Rolly.” Dannel spotted his brother speaking with Detective Inspector Haider Khan. Roland was waving his hands about quite animatedly. “He’s not happy.”

“Inside voice,” Osian murmured. “Let’s not draw the attention of the nice constables and detectives just yet.”

“Look.” Dannel elbowed Osian in the side, nodding his head toward a familiar figure seated in the back of one of the police vehicles. “Not good.”

“Wayne locked up in the back is more than not good.” He caught Dannel by the arm, guiding him forward. “Let’s see if Haider will tell us anything.”

“Wayne’s car.”

They’d moved close enough to easily see the vehicle cordoned off with caution tape. Several detectives were inspecting the interior while others, who Dannel recognised from the coroner’s office, lifted a body out of the boot onto a stretcher. He had a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach.

“Danny.” Roland drew their attention, jogging over. He gripped Dannel’s arms tightly as if he’d fall over without the hold. “They won’t listen to me.”

Gone was his confident and strong brother. Dannel awkwardly hugged Roland. He couldn’t recall ever seeing him so affected.

Dannel didn’t quite know how to help his brother. He couldn’t tell if Roland was angry or sad; deciphering emotions didn’t come easily to him. “Who’s not listening to you about what?”

“DI Khan. Any of them.” Roland shook his head, stepping back and standing up straight. “They’ve taken Wayne in for questioning because they found Barnaby’s body in his boot.”

“I’d honestly hoped we’d run out of dead bodies to find.” Dannel kept a hand on his brother’s shoulder.

“Maybe third time’s the charm?” Osian suggested.

“We’ve discovered more than three bodies.”

Another fun (can that be a word for it?) cozy murder mystery with Ossie and Dannel and the rest of the crew. Poor long suffering DI Haider, although he is great at pretending to not care, but he does.

I love that these guys are not supposed to get involved, but really can’t help themselves. They have people they care about, and are not willing to let them be railroaded, so they just poke around until they find what they need, usually when it’s too late and someone is in danger. It’s just fun, enjoyable to read.

The relationship between Osian and Dannel is perfect. They do not feel the need to be glued to each other’s sides. And Osian knows when Dannel needs time on his own, and not only respects that, but doesn’t allow anyone else to disrespect that. Meanwhile, Dannel knows that Osian will take care of those things that Dannel just doesn’t have the capacity to deal with. He doesn’t question it, he just knows that Osian will cover it, and that kind of love and trust shows that not only are they an established couple, but one that has known each other for their entire lives. The short crayon story by Dannel’s father really showed how integral they’ve always been in each other’s lives.

I won’t give any spoilers on this, other than to say that the entire group gets involved in this one…and who knew about Ian??? 🙂 …Another really good story, and I can see how this series just blooms in different directions but still can focus on two such different MC’s but with such a loving and companionable relationship.

You will definitely want to read this if you’ve read the first two books.
