thick-and-thinsynopsisIn a matter of days, Dex has been kidnapped, tortured, killed, revived, become half Therian, offered the chance to become a spy, and accepted a proposal to marry his jaguar Therian boyfriend, Sloane Brodie.

When the dust settles, nothing will ever be the same, and it’s up to Dex to prove that in the face of change, the one thing that will always remain the same is family.

denise review

Every time I read something by Charlie Cochet, I am so impressed. She continues to amaze me with the depth she adds to all her work, whether its a THIRDS novella or her holiday series. Thick & Thin is no exception. It isn’t just the depth of the characters or emotions that are so impressive. The depth of the stories are so multi-leveled that although these COULD be read as stand alone, a reader would miss so much of the setup for future, from beginning to end.

To start Hell & High Water with Dex, and learning quickly in that book that his parents were killed in the riots, when he was only 5 years old, to then come full circle to Thick & Thin, and get a better understanding of what actually happened takes planning, plotting and more planning. In book 2, you see set up that comes to fruition several books later, and so on.

With Thick & Thin, Charlie takes a short novella, packs a super punch, leaves the reader hanging (only slightly), and wanting more of what is ahead for the entire family of Destructive Delta. In addition, this was a necessary component to the series. Although people have been dying for the next book, this was needed to prepare the reader for what was coming. Her completion of one or two story arcs, in a 95 page novella, and setup for Seb and Hudson’s book is such a great balance of loving what you’re reading, and wanting what is ahead.

Sometimes in a book series with so many books, the reader can get bored, and move on, yet there is absolutely no chance this reader (or most) is moving on, and the second I get my hands on book 9, I will be hiding away from the world so that I can soak up every word of it.

Not a single spoiler! You NEED to read this! That is all. 🙂

✨EXCERPT: PAH! by @authoremlindsey & @coraroseauthor releasing February 10th!#PreOrderNowmybook.to/DEAFHEARTSBOOK3Once again, I don’t bother reading. Just watch the way he lifts his shirt up and shows that overly defined V on his hips. It’s fucking obscene. I’m even harder now. My hips move without me wanting them to, but it’s a need. A deeply buried, repressed need for him.I hate it. I hate that I want him so badly when he’s moved on. When he’s with someone else. He pulls his shirt off and grabs some dumbbells. I can almost trace the beads of sweat moving down his chest with my tongue. I can almost feel the scrape of his roughly shaven jaw against mine. I can still smell him. My eyes screw shut, and I feel my release coat the inside of my boxers. With an exasperated sigh, I fall face-first into the mattress, the phone still clutched in my hand. When I finally pry an eyelid open, I stare at the screen and realize with horror that I accidentally liked his post. I scramble to undo it, but I know the damage has been done. He’ll know I’ve been looking and perving on him and his videos. I let out a muffled grunt into my pillow, hoping it doesn’t alarm my neighbor, and turn my phone off entirely. I won’t turn it back on until I’m at the airport. And I won’t open that app again.#mmromance #corarose #emlindsey The Author Agency ... See MoreSee Less

✨Did you see?✨PLAYING FOR THE PRESIDENT’S DAUGHTER by @authorkimberlyknight & @rachellynadams is available NOW! Grab it in KU! #OneClickNowbooks2read.com/u/3nLogBWhy you need to #ONECLICK this book…🔥MMF🔥Baseball Romance🔥Friends to Lovers🔥Double Biawakening🔥Polyamory🔥StepbrotherThe president’s daughter shouldn’t be sharing a bed with two men. She definitely shouldn’t still be thinking about them after one night together.Faye Donnelley lives with every move photographed or judged. She can handle gossip blogs and political narratives, but what she really wants is something that isn’t for public consumption. One Fourth of July with two college baseball players finally gives her a night that isn’t for cameras or anyone outside that room.Dylan Statler and Jase Matthewson are best friends, stepbrothers, and college teammates with dreams of making it to the big leagues. Hooking up with the president’s daughter was supposed to be a one-time thing. Except they can’t stop checking Faye’s socials or replaying how it felt with her pressed between them, their hands and mouths all over her.After Dylan and Jase are drafted by different teams hundreds of miles apart, their private group text with Faye turns into stolen weekends, hotel rooms, and late-night video calls they can’t resist. It starts to feel like they aren’t just playing for their careers, but for the president’s daughter, and for something between the guys they can’t ignore. If their relationship gets exposed, Faye could become a political talking point while sports media outlets dissect Dylan and Jase’s personal lives instead of their stats. That fallout would be bad enough, but when a terrifying moment shakes their world, it forces them to decide if they’re willing to risk it all or walk away from a relationship that only works when all three are together.#newbookalert #kimberlyknight #rachellynadams #mmfromance The Author Agency ...

✨Did you see?✨FINAL EDIT by @em.denning is available NOW! Grab it now in KU! #OneClickNowa.co/d/375iYHj Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…🔥Opposites Attract🔥Retired Porn Star x Burgeoning Writer🔥Lazy Rescue Dog🔥Found Family🔥Healing his inner child🔥MM RomanceLukas Knight has built his empire up from nothing. A bad home life and a grim future saw to it that his options after high school were limited. Enter a man with a pocketful of promises for a better life. Glitz. Glamor. Family. And every one of those promises was a lie.Now, years later, Lukas has moved on from being an adult entertainer to owning his own studio. He no longer performs, but he directs, he edits, and does everything else. He has a story to tell, but the same roadblock that existed when he was a struggling student hasn’t gone away. Even if he has learned to work around his dyslexia, he’s not equipped to do the one thing he wants the most—to write his book and tell his story. Sawyer Brown is the family disappointment, even though he’s a university graduate and published author. Sawyer is proud of what he’s accomplished, even if his parents aren’t. Besides, he has people like his former professor, Charles Thurston, who believes in him enough to recommend him for a freelance job. Ghostwriting a memoir for an actor. Sawyer leaps at the opportunity and maybe he should have asked a few questions first, because Lukas wasn’t on Broadway and he didn’t work in Hollywood. Lukas starred in adult films.The longer Sawyer and Lukas work together, the closer they become. Through quiet conversations, they share past hurts and hopes for the future. And if Sawyer happens to want to kiss Lukas, well… he’d be okay with that. And if Lukas were to kiss him back, that would be okay too. Final Edit is the first book of the Lights, Camera, Love series that follows Lukas Knight and his performers as they fall in love, one by one. #newbookalert #mmromance #emdenning The Author Agency ...

Two Chicks Obsessed with Books and Eye Candy
Sweet Obsession by Riley HartMy review4 1/2 Pieces of Eye Candy!!!SO GOOD!Ok, I know I need to extrapolate. First Rory. This guy is just pure chaos. How no one has diagnosed him with ADHD is beyond me. He's the only one without living parents, or...any blood relatives I think. He was folded into Killian's family after his mother died. And even though Killian, Aislin and Tiernan love him as much as they could, it's not the same. It's not the same as parental love. Or romantic love. It's so obvious how much he craves it while saying he doesn't understand it. So he lives a bit on the wild side. Unafraid of almost everything- except someone in his found family getting hurt.And then there's Shai. Born when his mother was still a child, he has had a rough life with a pimp and sex trafficker for a father and an alcoholic drug addict for a mother. He and his mother finally escaped his father, but now he is the one working and trying to keep a roof over their heads while his mother just apologizes for, well, everything. Another guy who is desperate for love even though he hasn't really seen it.It's really no surprise that violence is what brings them together. Rory LOVES violence, Shai is starting to believe he does too. That rush he gets.Underlying the whole storyline is 2 men who crave violence and desperately need to love and to be loved. To be loved for exactly who they are. And in each other they get all of that. No one is trying to change anyone. They love each other as they are. Being the third book of three, it does a great job of keeping us up to date with all of the other characters and I think I squee'd a bit out loud when I saw the epilogue. I do love a good epilogue. Like a real one. Not a 6 weeks later kind of epilogue.Read this book. But read the first 2 first. You absolutely need to in order to really understand the underlying dynamics of Tiernan, Killian, Rory and even Aislin.The Author Agency Riley Hart ... See MoreSee Less
