Michelin is a country music star but he keeps himself so grounded that you would never believe he is as big of a name as he is, and just to prove that point, when Michelin meets Lucky for the first time Lucky has no idea who he is. I enjoyed the shyness and a bit of insecurity that Michelin had when he was interacting with Lucky at the club where he works as a go-go dancer. The chemistry was great between the two and the fact that they were so different from the other made them work great together because they balanced one another out.
This is the third book in the Perfect Harmony Series but it can definitely be read as a standalone, which is what I did. I will go back and read the first to books when time permits, that being said I do not feel that I was lost at any part of the book, the only benefit that reading Treble Maker and Love Me Tenor prior to this one would be that you have some background on a few of the other characters in the story, but it does not take anything away for the story as a whole.

This is the first book by Erin M. Leaf, a new to me author, and I really enjoyed. SO much in fact that I went right into the second, third, and forth This is the first book by Erin M. Leaf, a new to me author, and I really enjoyed. SO much in fact that I went right into the second, third, and forth books of the series. This is also the first M-PREG book that I have read, and WOW I think I found a new favorite paranormal sub-genre.
Bad Oak is a famous band and all four members are family, two sets of brothers that are cousins, little did they know that they had werewolf blood running through their veins. When Ryan, the lead singer, meets Bardulf for the first time things begin to change for him. Not only do they have a deep connection and amazing chemistry but this connection they have makes Ryan change physically as well. To say that the first time Ryan shifted was a shock for him would be an understatement.
Can Ryan come to grips with this new side of him and embrace the Alpha that he is? Can Bardulf, and Ryan make a relationship work between two alphas, fated mates or not? Well you'll just have to grab your own copy of Rock Star Baby and find out.
Thank you Angela for the loan!

We start Part I by going back fifteen years when Stone, Stevie, and Nico spend one incredible night together. These three have such amazing chemistry that it changes each of them after just one encounter. If I tell you that Stone is only 21 and Stevie and Nico are in their late teens and still in High School, would that change your thoughts on how Hot things can be? It shouldn't because HOT doesn't even come close to describing how amazing these three are together. Scorching...yes, that might be a better word to describe them.

Ollie has been in an on-again-off-again relationship for years and was even engaged before she finally called things off, and Trevor was married and is now divorced. Ollie and Trevor have been friends for a while now, and there has been an attraction to one another from the start, but Ollie has never been interested in guys before, so he's confused about his feelings.
In this story, we have Ollie and Trevor taking their friendship to the next level while trying to find Ollie's ex-fiance, that has been kidnapped.

Malik and Avery are both former SEALs and now they work for A-List Security as bodyguards for celebrity clients, these two are so different yet so much alike it's easy to see why they get along so well.
I loved the sexual awakening between both men and what I loved even more was Avery's love for all things lace. I haven't read many books with that kind of kink but I really enjoy it and would love to see more of it.
The author has a content/trigger discussion for mild internalized homophobia, this is something that one of the men has to work through as he realizes he is indeed happy about spending time with a man...it's more along the lines of toxic thinking then homophobia in my eyes, but you may see it differently.
This was another great addition to the series which have all be light on angst and high one heat, this one even gives us a surprise visit from a couple from the OUT OF UNIFORM SERIES and it was great revisiting old friends again.
I would recommend this book to those that enjoy STEAMY MM Romances, Friends to Lovers Romances, Workplace Romances, Roommate Romances, Forced Proximity Romances, or Military Romances.
So this is going to sound really strange since this is book #22 in the CERBERUS MC Series but this is the first book I am reading in this series, therSo this is going to sound really strange since this is book #22 in the CERBERUS MC Series but this is the first book I am reading in this series, there I said it I am jumping in at book #22! You may wonder why I am jumping in now and the answer is simple, I had been reading the BLACKBRIDGE SECURITY Series which recently ended and the men of Cerberus popped up to help them out at times of need and in the last book they were going to help them out so there I went too. Lucky for me this book was able to be read without reading the prior books in the series.
Marie James did a fantastic job with this best friends to enemies to lovers story. I really enjoyed all the ups and downs she took us on, sometimes the rollercoaster was a bit bumpy but when things smoothed out it was a great ride.
Marie James closes out the Blackbridge Series with a bang, My Favorite book of the Series! I couldn't get enough of Brooks and Archer and I didn't wanMarie James closes out the Blackbridge Series with a bang, My Favorite book of the Series! I couldn't get enough of Brooks and Archer and I didn't want to put the book down...I really wish I could give this MM read more than 5 stars it was just that good. This book overlaps the last few that have been released so now we know what was happening with Brooks during that time thru the present and we get his side of things as they unfold.
Archer Bremen's life has just been blown up in the media and not in a good way so he enlists the help of Blackbridge Security, Brooks Morgan's specialty in particular...he needs security while pretending to be in a fake relationship. This is nothing new for Brooks but it's the first time he would be playing the boyfriend of a man. The chemistry is great and nothing can top their first meeting...that was hilarious!
I have loved this series and I couldn't wait until we got to Brooks' story, well that's not exactly true because I knew once we did the series would be over but I really really wanted to see how things were playing out for him because of everything he had been through recently. If you haven't read previous books I would suggest not reading this one first because it will give away many spoilers from previous books - like who comes into the office with a fake bomb strapped to her, who has the best foul mouthed bird that steals every scene he's written into (I love Puff Daddy), who has a son that he knew nothing about, and so much more. But if you choose to read this as a standalone you totally can.
I would recommend this book to those that enjoy Steamy MM Romances, Rockstar Romances, Bodyguard/Client Romances, or the Fake Relationship Trope.
Whit is a senior at Moo U, a hockey player, and he came out to his friends and family a few months ago. Now he's looking to find someone to help burn Whit is a senior at Moo U, a hockey player, and he came out to his friends and family a few months ago. Now he's looking to find someone to help burn up his sheets only problem is he doesn't know how to flirt, like at all. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry over his situation because the more desperate he became the worse he was at meeting someone.
Rainn works at the Vino & Veritas bookstore and occasionally bartends at the Wine Bar part of V&V. He enjoys working at the all inclusive Wine Bar, even if he is straight..hey all inclusive means all inclusive, right? What he doesn't like is hockey players but for some reason when he sees Whit striking out over and over he agrees to be his wingman.
I really enjoyed the way Whit and Rainn became friends while Rainn was trying to help Whit find someone he thought he'd be happy with. What I enjoyed even more was watching Rainn discover his feelings towards Whit and come to terms with a lot of things that were going on in his life....this book is titled HEADSTRONG for a reason.
This story had a lot going on and all questions were answered by the end of the book. I would recommend reading the additional epilogue from the author because it was great!
This was my first read by Eden Finley but I am looking forward to reading more of her work. If you enjoy MM Romances, Gay For You Romances, or Friends-to-Lovers Romances I would recommend this book to you.

Not only do we have a cold case to solve but things are getting interesting between Brantley and Reese.
I devoured this book in a day, I was not putting it down for anything. I was so involved with everything going on...

They were close in High School, very close, they even had plans to be together after graduation but events in Tucker's life prevented him from meeting Luis in California as planned.
Now about eighteen years later Tucker is a divorced father of twin boys, Walker and Wade, (Wade seriously needs his story told...I hope you are reading this Annabeth!) and he's a fire management expert trying to find whoever is setting fires to his forest. Luis is a Fire behavior specialist in California and is being loaned to his home town of Painter’s Ridge, Oregon where he left his first love. Needless to say Luis isn't thrilled about this assignment but he is heading there regardless because whats the worst that can happen....
I have been a fan of Annabeth Albert's MM Romances for a while now and I have to say the thing I like most about them is that they are never predictable. We are given a wide range of characters that cover the LGBTQ+ spectrum. In FEEL THE FIRE we have Tucker some people would classify him as Bisexual but that would be incorrect because he is actually demisexual which means he is capable of feeling sexual desire ONLY if he shares a strong emotional bond with the other person, whereas bisexual would me he's attracted to both men and women and that simply isn't true in Tuckers case. I love that Annabeth Albert doesn't shy away from any of the different sexual orientations. She gives us a world that broadens our knowledge and hopefully our minds to all the different types of love that are around us.
I of course recommend this book to lovers of MM Romances as well as those that enjoy second-chance romances. This can be read as a standalone but this is such a great series I recommend reading each of the books.
Happy Reading!!!

SOOOOO much going on! I won't give any spoilers but it's plain to see that Travis' daughter Kate has gone missing from the synopsis so I'll tell you that when that happened even though I was prepared for it I was still a goner, I hate when anything happens to kids. So I was right there with the rest of the Walker family anxiously waiting for her return home.

If you know me and have been following my reviews you know that anything to do with abuse of children especially sexual abuse is a hard limit for me and this story is about two people that have dealt with many years of sexual abuse as children. I will admit when I began to read this book I had a hard time because of it, but in no way was the subject matter glorified or made light of, in fact the author gave Lilabelle and Kendrick everything they needed to be stronger for themselves as well as for one another, she also gave them a perfect person to love the both of them, Jaxx.

I mean really it's like total foreplay for when they finally come together and that is exactly what we have with Charlie and Ky. These two men are so different from one another, yet they are a lot alike when it comes to relationships and their fears and this has to do with the way they were both raised.
Charlie is out and loud and proud and a whirlwind of energy always on the go, always needing to do something. Where Ky is more laid back which is true to his surfer dude looks and charm. They are sort of a yin and yang when it comes to fitting together. You wouldn't look at them and think they make sense but once you see them together and feel their energy and pull you'll get it.
There is quite a bit of angst in this story but not so much that it took away from the budding relationship of Ky and Charlie although they did have their moments. This was a fun, sexy read that occasionally got a bit emotional, nothing over the top though, so I'd keep tissues around but you may not need them.
I am really enjoying getting to know all of the men in the band ZERO and I look forward to reading all of their books.
This is an easy book to recommend to lovers of MM Romance that enjoy the Rockstar trope as well, and even if you don't like Rockstars I would still suggest you give it a read because these guys are more than just their careers.
As with all new to me authors, I never know what to expect when I go in to the first book but when I read the book synopsis I new it was something I wAs with all new to me authors, I never know what to expect when I go in to the first book but when I read the book synopsis I new it was something I was definitely intrigued by so I took the plunge and I am glad I did. Not only did I find a book that I liked and would recommend but I found an author that I would be willing to read again, win win!
Alex found himself in some trouble when his partner in their law firm ran off with all the funds in the companies bank account, so now he is need of a cash infusion and his friend Izzy has just the solution for him. Return to Twilight Falls and marry her client that is also in a bind.
Finn's wife passed away three years ago and his aunt is tired of seeing him locked away in his home living like a hermit so she tells him that if he doesn't get married in thirty days he's cut off, she's taking his trust fund away from him. OUCH!
Finn is a complicated person and at first I didn't know if he was just putting on an act or really naive about his thoughts and feelings, but he honestly just fell in love with his wife and never questioned anything but his love for her. That is totally admirable and respectable and he earned major props in my eyes and heart because of it.
I loved Alex and Finn together, their friendship started out rough because lets face it they didn't know one another before they got married so things were kind of mixed up there but they got passed that and a whole slew of other things.
This was a quick read for me, I was able to finish it in one day. The secondary characters were all so intriguing I cannot wait to read their books, Carter is up next and he's already on my TBR shelf.
This is a steamy romance so I would recommend it to those who enjoy MM Romance that are over 17.

Lane Hayes is a fairly new to me author having only read one of her books prior to this one, so I really didn't have a true sense of her writing style yet but I did know I enjoyed the first book I had read/listened to so I decided to dive into this series when the opportunity arose and I am glad I did.
I really like the way the author took two guys that really didn't like one another, almost an enemies-to-lovers but not quite, and forced them to get close, close enough that feelings started to emerge.
Derek and Gabe were both great characters and I was rooting for them right from the start. I am going to keep this vague because I don't want to give anything away but I will let you know that Gabe is gay and in-the-closet and Derek has only ever been with girls although he has been attracted to guys he never acted on it. Now that is all you're going to get out of me because that does NOT ruin the book whatsoever.
The narrator, Michael Pauley, did a wonderful job with bringing this story to life. His voice has a nice soothing texture to it and it really was nice to listen to. I'm diving into book #2 of this series and I am thrilled that Michael Pauley is narrating that one as well.
If you are a lover of MM romance with athletes I would recommend giving this book a read. It is relatively short and can be read in just one afternoon, but if you're like me you'll make a day of it and dive into the next book as well. Happy Reading!!!...more
