“You have deft fingers.”

Ash’s voice vibrated through him, urging River to make a move. The playful twitch of those lips begged to be kissed as much as River’s lips begged to do the kissing.

He wanted to slide his hands into Ash’s tangled hair and let their lips collide.

He wanted Ash under him, mapping every inch of his skin with his mouth.

He wanted Ash not to be off-limits . . .

But he was.

I had no idea what I was getting into when I started this book. New to this author, I’m always up for some new hot guys… I was surprised at how quickly I fell for Ash and his story.

Ash, on his own, caring for his younger sister was killing himself working numerous jobs to give her a life she didn’t have to struggle for. It was tough, but he was making due. Sure, he had to sacrifice a lot of himself, but it was worth it to keep his sister happy and doing well. He was determined that she make something of herself so she didn’t have to work so hard, like he did. It was admirable and sweet, and I loved him immediately. His sister too, she hated that he sacrificed so much and she wanted him happy too. So imagine their surprise, when River shows up with a letter from a grandfather Ash never knew about it and the book store and house he’d inherited. It seemed like the answer to their prayers, right?

River made a promise to the man he loved as a grandfather. When he passed, he’d find Ash and gift him the book store and hopefully let his honorary grandfather’s legacy go on. What he didn’t count on, was the feelings he developed for him and how badly he wanted to take care of him. If anyone needed a little taking care of, it was Ash.

Unfortunately, some land developers contacted Ash and gave him a very tempting offer. One that could make them live easy for a bit and even send Ash’s sister to college. It was a lot of money to pass up, especially for some man he didn’t know and a store he never knew about.

River asked him to take some time and see what Lester and his legacy was all about before he decided. So he did. He wanted to learn about this family he never knew of, and maybe feel some sort of connection to him. He never planned on finding a connection with River. So used to hiding himself away because he never had time for anything but work and taking care of his sister; and then not wanting to need someone like his mother always seemed to do; letting River get close was too risky.

River was incredibly patient though. He genuinely cared about Ash, even before he knew him, because he knew that he was someone to Lester. It didn’t take any time at all for River to fall for Ash though, it seemed inevitable. I found myself rooting for them from page one.

I also loved River’s brother’s. One, his twin and the other, his brother he chose; who also has a massive crush on his twin. I’m VERY interested to see how that turns out! Although unrequited love almost always breaks my heart, cuz duh, relatable….(I still think about you, 14 year old crush, Joey L! ) I can’t wait to read more of this family. I hope they all get their version’s of happy, just like River and Ash did.

“What do you want from a real marriage?”

Ben paused, clawing back the “you” desperately trying to escape him. Not Landon. He was over that. “I want to have someone who supports me, and vice versa. I want conversations and shared interests. I want common goals, my husband and I, a team. Us against the world. I want to be so close to him that I can guess what he is thinking. I want a man who sees I have failures and flaws but loves me anyway. Who has a fantastic sense of humor and finds joy laughing at the silly things. And . . . .”

“And?”

Ben couldn’t hold Landon’s deeply curious gaze. “I want to be his first choice. Not a backup when the guy he really wants doesn’t want him back.”

The silence that followed felt thick and taut, and Ben struggled to breathe.

Landon sat back with a determined stare toward the road. He licked his bottom lip and his hand rested on the wheel, thumb tapping. “You deserve all that, Ben. That and more.”

Sigh… I was reluctant.

Unrequited loves almost kill me. I reckon it takes me back to my 14 year old self when I was in love with my twin brother’s best friend. Spoiler, I’m 33 now and whenever I see him, I’m just as giddy and nervous as I was back then, and I’m married with kids of my own LOL, so unrequited love. I understand it. I know how much it hurts. It’s relatable and real. So, when it came to Landon… he wasn’t my favorite.

After waking up in Vegas, where it seems weddings were all the rage, Landon was tired of the distance Ben had put between them (for good reason. Another reason Landon wasn’t my favorite)… Landon seemed selfish to me in the beginning, no, he didn’t seem it, he just was. But, I had to admire his thought process, even though it was selfish, I got it. He didn’t want to lose Ben, and Ben needed the space. Still…. He needed a swift kick.

A ploy from Ben’s mom has the guy needing to spend the week with her, and of course, they’ve got to play their parts. Landon loved Ben’s mom just as much as Ben did; so he readily agreed. Problem was, it was about then that Landon got his head out, and realized his feelings for Ben were far more than platonic. He was finally seeing what Ben had been seeing their whole lives; he just didn’t realize it.

Watching Landon try to win Ben over, and Ben try to move on was entertaining and hopeful, because they’re inevitable. A love that starts with the foundation of the best friendship that turns into more; well… of course it’ll work out for the best.

And of course we see River and Ash a little bit, and some from Chris. I understand the next book is going to be about Chance, who lead Landon for a long time, is deeply, deeply in the closet and the biggest flippin jerk; so I can’t imagine liking him… though, I would’ve said that about Landon too, and I fell swift and easy for him. So, I’m excited to continue the series. I haven’t been disappointed yet! (well, at least not for long) I’m also curious about clown waiter, Gabe. Can he be the letter G? Hope so!!

Another great hit with a happily ever after!

4 pieces of eye candy from me!

C is for Chance Roosevelt-Sutton.

Chiseled jaw. Smug attitude. Wild ways.

Chained to his ego—or so everyone thinks. Except his personal assistant, Brook. He knows better.

Chance is challenged to make his father happy for once, but he needs Brook’s help.

Choosing honesty is too risky, so instead they choose secrecy.

Choked by their pasts, they dream of a better life . . . and

Charm each other into submission.

 

Will their pasts ruin what they have, or will they grow together?

C is for Challenging Chance.

Series (name + # in series): Love Letters #3

Brook pulled him tighter by the lapels of his suit, returning the kiss. He pulled back, breath drizzling over Chance’s wet lips. Brook’s eyes held a ray of earnestness. Something soft and unspoken drifted between them but Chance couldn’t quite grasp it. He frowned and stepped back. Ran a hand through his hair and glanced at himself in the mirror. Lips red, cheeks flushed—and he was grinning.

“Never stop smiling like that,” Brook whispered, sliding behind him, arms circling his waist to undo the jacket button. “You look amazing. I’d like to see that last jacket on you though. To make an informed decision.”

Informed decision, his tight ass.

He smirked at Brook in the reflection of the mirror. The sales assistant knocked on the door. Chance called out, “Just trying on the last jacket.”

“If you need any help . . .”

Brook drew off the jacket, palms sweeping over his shoulders down to his forearms.

“I’m fine, thanks.” Chance hoped he hadn’t croaked on that last sentence. Heels tapped across marble floor, growing fainter.

First, let me just say that I was not a fan of Chance. If you’ve read this one, than you know he’s the guy who done Landon so dirty in the last book. He’s selfish, deeply in the closet and doesn’t seem to care about anyone but himself. However, like many people who are so outwardly douchey, it’s because of something deeper.

Chance leads a miserable life. He may have more money than he’ll ever know what to do with; but he’s missing all the important things in life, and he knows it. He’s not free to be himself, because he’s got this constant need to make his dad happy and nothing that he does, is doing it. His dad is a hard man to please, and instead of getting to know his other son, he just throws money at him and gives him these ridiculous expectations… I didn’t like the dad either, but I think even he was misunderstood. I think he wanted Chance to grow up and be responsible. He just went about it the wrong way. Maybe it was tough love, I dunno… it was harsh either way.

My heart hurt for Chance so much because everyone used him for literally everything. His friends weren’t friends, they just used his house to party, his money for booze and going out to dinners. They never even asked, they all just expected it. His dad was constantly disappointed in him and he was living in the shadow of his brother; the one that made his dad proud. He was incredibly lonely and even though he was surrounded by all these fake people, it was better than actually being alone.

Enter Brooke. Brooke was desperate for a job, and happened to overhear someone in a bar talking about being a personal assistant to the most demanding jerk there was. So, of course Brook applied for it. He’d made some bad mistakes in the past and was trying to rectify them. It wasn’t easy… Chance didn’t make it easy because he knew that he’d be attracted to Brook, and there was no way that he could disappoint his dad in that way, too. Right?

Except, Brook was patient and calm, where Chance was out of control and hasty. Brook kept him in check and didn’t let him get by with brushing him off or hiding away from his feelings or what he wanted. He stood up for Chance and fought for him, and even when it hurt him, he wanted what was best for Chance.

I loved these two together, and it didn’t take me anytime to love Chance. I knew that I would. And Grandma, (Brook’s grandma) you’ll love her. She was charming and the little piece of family that Chance needed. They took him under their wings, no questions asked, and Chance had needed it.

Sigh… overall, it was just a great story and I honestly cannot wait to see what’s up next in this series! I’m definitely hooked; and like the other two in this series, it ended perfectly.

HEART-STOPPING SLOW BURN

A bit about me: I’m a big, BIG fan of slow-burn romances. I love to read and write stories with characters who slowly fall in love.

Some of my favorite tropes to read and write are: Enemies to Lovers, Friends to Lovers, Clueless Guys, Bisexual, Pansexual, Demisexual, Oblivious MCs, Everyone (Else) Can See It, Slow Burn, Love Has No Boundaries.

I write a variety of stories, Contemporary MM Romances with a good dollop of angst, Contemporary lighthearted MM Romances, and even a splash of fantasy.

My books have been translated into German, Italian, French, and Thai.

Shadows Never Lie (Shadow Duet Book 1) by Lark TaylorMy review:Ok, going into this knowing that there is a book 2.....And I just have to start by saying I really appreciated that they are identical twins who don't get along. So often they are BFF and twin telepathy and all that. And it does happen. But not always.I have to admit I was sucked in from the start. Especially since the first chapter was present day and then chapter two starts the back story. Just from chapter 1 I wasn't expecting their younger years to be as they were.And I really wanted to hate Dominick. But once more information about his life came to light AND how he started treating Ryan, I had a soft spot for him. Max (Ryan's twin) on the other hand, can go scratch. It will take a lot for him to redeem himself in book 2 if that even happens.I kind of saw the cliffhanger coming. I still wasn't prepared. Oh my heart just broke. And I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS! Good thing book 2 comes out in 2 weeks...4 pieces of eye candy ... See MoreSee Less

Avalanche (Ricochet Ridge) by Jillian Wray My reviewI really liked these two characters and how they aren't exactly what you expected.First, yes they are step brothers. But they are 4 years apart AND Stone left when he was 18. You can extrapolate that there wasn't even a crush between these two guys until this book. Hero worship, yes. Romantic crush, nah.Stone, kind of a hot shot on the mountain because he is part of the blasting crew who set charges to trigger avalanches when no one is on the mountain. He is obviously good looking and popular, but the outside doesn't necessarily match the inside.And Hanlon, babied his whole life because he has a mild case of cerebral palsy, but he also grew into a independent college senior who has a gym body, is confident, out and proud.The quiet kid grew into a confident adult and the confident kid turned into a quiet adult.There was animosity between the step brothers for different reasons. But once they pushed past that and they started feeling things, it got interesting.Again, role reversal of the stereotypical characters. And that made it so fun.It sucked that they basically had to stay in the closet. Because of family and because of work. But we all know that doesn't last forever. And I totally understand their parents feeling the way they do. But like good parents, they found acceptance in their hearts.The CP representation was done really well. Showed that there are different levels of CP and even when it isn't overtly obvious, there's still a lot that a person has to deal with.AND I learned more about avalanches.4 pieces of eye candy ...
