<h5 style="text-align: left;"><br /> <strong><em>We’re basically Romeo and Juliet. But dudes. And without all the dying.</em></strong> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <strong>Chad</strong> <br /> <br /><br />Being VP of Sigma Beta Psi is wild. I get all the benefits of being in charge with hardly any of the responsibility. <br /><br />Parties, pranks, and frat politics—college life has never been sweeter. <br /><br />Until I meet Bailey Prince. <br /><br />He has the face of a goddamn angel. I don’t know where he came from or why I’m so obsessed. <br /><br />But I do know he’s a Kappa. <br /><br />And our houses have a rivalry that’s written into legend. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <strong>Bailey</strong> <br /> <br /><br />At Rho Kappa Tau, I’m a legacy. <br /><br />It’s a lot of pressure, but I’ve always been responsible, never had that rebellious need to rock the boat, and I like it that way. <br /><br />But after a party at Sigma—the jock frat—I meet Chad Doomsen, and for the first time in my life I want to step outside my square. <br /><br />Our houses have always had a rivalry, but some of the guys seem to hate Chad specifically, and I don’t know why. <br /><br />He’s surprisingly sweet and kind. At least to me. <br /><br />I need to stay away. A relationship with Chad would be betraying the very legacy that brought me here. <br /><br />But I can’t help myself. And it seems, neither can he. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <em>Frat Wars is a romance between MCs from rival houses. It has friendly competitions, no hazing, and a swoony romance kept secret.</em></h5>

He loves to still do them, comes up with more on the fly, but somehow is aware life is changing. Then he sees the man that he would change it all for.<br /><br />Bailey is warned about the rival fraternity and its prankster, Chad. The heart wants what the heart wants. Is there anything they can do more than just sneak around and hope to not be caught?<br /><br />Lots of funny in this fast paced and full of action book. There was lots of heat and lots of pranks. I laughed my way through and loved every page. <br /><br /><br />***This early copy was given exclusively to be reviewed with honesty. <br /><br /> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/7908224-2kasmom">View all my reviews</a>

<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Synopsis</strong></h1>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Drew and Cleevs love hockey, but they love each other more. How can the men find a way to save what matters most?</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Todd Cleever and Drew Simon are crazy about each other. They started dating three years ago when “Cleevs” was a rookie defenseman for the Chicago Ice. Drew, the team’s captain, was a few years older than Cleevs. Both men were deep in the closet, but it didn’t take long for them to fall in love.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cleevs was traded to the Bethesda Barracudas a year later, causing a heartbreaking separation. Ever since, they’ve skated around the problem with occasional stolen nights together and brief vacations under the guise of “friends,” but two years of living apart have taken their toll.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As the holiday approaches, Drew and Cleevs decide things have to change. Still, with their careers and two professional hockey teams in the way, how can they score the game-winning goal and save everything they cherish most?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you like fierce love, a smallish age gap, exciting hockey, and a steely determination to make things work—not to mention enough steam to fog up all your windows and a fantastic HEA—this is the book for you. The novella contains about 43,000 words of sparkling holiday romance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Excerpt</strong></h1>
<p> </p>
<p>I arrived at the Hilton about three o’clock. Todd wasn’t due for another couple of hours, so I took a shower and dressed in jeans and an Ice T-shirt. Afterward, I switched on the TV but was too excited to be still, and I must have walked back and forth to the window a hundred times. When the news came on, I settled into a chair to watch. Someone knocked on the door a few minutes later.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Running over, I pulled it open, and there he was. Wearing a gray peacoat and matching beanie, with a messenger bag slung over his shoulder, Todd looked like a Hollywood heartthrob. He broke into a crooked grin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Hey.” My breath had caught in my throat, and I couldn’t get anything else out. “Hey.”</p>
<p>My pulse raced as my sight and hearing went into overdrive. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Drew? You think I could come in?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Oh yeah.” I grinned and stepped aside. “Please.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He rolled his suitcase in and set it and his messenger bag beside the dresser while I made sure the door was locked. When I turned, he placed a finger on the tip of my nose and traced it down to my lips. “You get more beautiful every time I see you.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“I’m so glad you’re here.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He reached for me, and I relaxed into the safety of his arms. The relief of being held was profound. As a hockey player and captain of all my teams since high school, I’d always had to be strong. Before I met Todd, as a closeted gay man, I rarely had hookups because there was too much risk of being recognized. When I occasionally met up with someone, what we did wasn’t about affection or support; it was about getting off.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Love you, Drew.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Oh, Todd.” I nibbled his lip, and when he hugged me tighter and kissed me, the heavy burden of my loneliness fell away. I relaxed for the first time in a while.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“I’m happy you could come and spend the night,” he whispered between kisses. I leaned back to look at him. His face was flushed, and his eyes were already dark with arousal. Sliding a hand up his back, I cupped his head. His mouth twitched as I moved in, and he moaned softly when our lips touched. I pressed against him, not ready for the moment to end but needing more.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Slowly, he glided his hands down my back to my butt, and we teased each other. When he licked my lips and probed softly, I opened for him. His tongue reassured me somehow, and I sucked it while my senses did somersaults. Hints of cedarwood and iris, mixed with his soft musk, surrounded me. We were both hard, and a thrill flickered up my spine as we rubbed our cocks together. Tiny, needy sounds filled the air while we enjoyed a taste of what was to come. I pulled away, took his hand, and started toward the bed. “Come with me.” He didn’t move, and I turned to look at him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“I should shower. It’s been a long day, and I’m not at my freshest.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Taking a step forward, I gave him another kiss and whispered, “I like you this way, remember? My sweaty D-man.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He gulped a breath. “Lead on, then.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We took our time undressing each other. When I removed Todd’s shirt, I gaped at his impressive physique as always: brawny arms, massive pecs, and a rippling six-pack. A large tattoo, a beautiful depiction of a wolf in the forest, ran from the nape of his neck to the middle of his back. Todd said it symbolized loyalty and family, as well as a willingness to become ferocious to protect what was dear to him. He’d told me he wanted to have one about us done on his chest—over his heart—and we’d design it together when our relationship was no longer a secret.</p>

<h3><strong>Baden – January 11, 2022</strong></h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4332" src="https://sawyerbennett.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Baden-AMAZON-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /><strong>After suffering a horrific injury that threatens to end his career, Baden Oulett is about to learn that sometimes a fresh start is just what the doctor ordered.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I worked my whole life to achieve one goal—play professional hockey. As part of the defending Cup champion Arizona Vengeance, I was living my dream until one split second decision destroyed it all. Instead of lacing up my skates and hitting the ice, I’ve spent my days in rehab and physical therapy just so I could walk again. When a coaching opportunity with the Pittsburgh Titans is presented to me, I find myself with a career I had never considered but which allows me to continue being part of the sport that I love. While my injuries are physical, the same can’t be said for the woman I rescued. Suffering from wounds that can’t be seen, Sophie Winters has withdrawn from the world in fear and guilt. I didn’t know Sophie before that fateful night and have only met her once since, but I refuse to let her face her demons alone. Determined to be a friend, I support Sophie in the only way I know how… by simply being there. Through our shared trauma, Sophie and I begin to find peace within one another. As we grow closer, what started as friendship becomes more intimate until our broken pieces become one. But can a love born of anguish endure, or will the pain of our past prove too much to overcome?</p>

<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">When you see them, you just want to high-five them…in the face…with a chair.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">For me, that's Gage Calloway.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">It doesn't matter how wonderful everyone else might think he is, I can't stand the man.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">And if I never have to see him again, it would be too soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, the universe likes to torment me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">When my bakery catches fire, he is the one to pull me out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">And when my little kitchen needs rebuilding? One guess who's assigned to do that job?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Yup, Gage freaking Calloway.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">I have no idea how I am going to get through the next few months having him in my space all the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Especially when my heart doesn't hate him at all.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">“What’s this?” he asked as he took the container from me. His calloused hand scraped over the back of my fingers during the transfer, and I bit my tongue to stop myself from cussing out loud.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">When my hands were finally free, I shoved them into my back pockets, hoping like hell the tingling feeling coating my skin would disappear soon. “It’s an assortment of muffins. Some savory, some sweet.” I shrugged. “Figured the guys might like a snack.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">“Muffins, huh?” Not caring that I was right there in front of him, he removed the lid and lifted the container to his nose before inhaling deeply. “Mmm, can’t wait to get my mouth on your muffin.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">It didn’t matter how he meant it; my poor sex-deprived brain only provided me with images of him kneeling before me. Hands threaded through his hair, that sinful mouth driving me insane while he provided me with enough pleasure to make my toes curl.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Oh, for shit’s sake! This was Gage. I seriously needed to get a damn grip. Preferably a penis-sized one with a man who wasn’t Gage attached to it. Slicking my tongue over my teeth, I gave him a piss-off stare. “Dream on! Your filthy mouth isn’t coming anywhere near my muffin.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">It didn’t have the desired effect. Being the asshole he was, Gage stared right back at me, the intensity in his eyes flooding me with heat. So much heat. That turned into a raging inferno when he ignored my personal bubble and inched closer still.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Gaze bouncing between my eyes and my lips, he murmured, “You sure about that? I bet you’d feel so good watching me devour every bit of it. You’d probably even beg me to eat it again.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Shit! I was fairly certain we hadn’t been talking about food at all and one hundred percent sure I was turned on beyond belief and now needed a change of underwear. He didn’t need to know any of this. Although if he chanced a look at my chest, I was pretty sure my boo bees would be dead giveaways.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Lifting my chin higher, I said, “You’re awfully full of yourself.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">“You could be full of me too.”</div>

MacBride</a></strong><br /><strong> My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4267112267">4 of 5 stars</a></strong><br /><br /> This is book # 3 in the Breathing Hearts series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. For reader enjoyment and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order.<br /><br />Frankie is just baking as usual when she feels tired and woozy. Next thing she knows she is face to face with a blast from the past she did not want to see. Rescuing her was nice, but coming back for more is just wrong.<br /><br />Gage wants to move on from the past. He comes back to his hometown with his daughter to start over. Seeing Frankie puts him on alert. Seeing her all the time gets his heart racing. Can they get along long enough to work things out?<br /><br />This story moved at such a quick pace. The characters are strong with the heated backstory that sets the book on sizzle right from chapter one. Sexy and smart, this was an enjoyable and relaxing read. <br /><br /><br />***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review only. <br /><br /> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/7908224-2kasmom">View all my reviews</a>

<h3><strong>Synopsis:</strong></h3>
<p> </p>
<p> <strong>Known as the team loner, Riggs Nadeau gives his all on the ice, but nothing extra off it. A beautiful stranger is about to cause chaos in his very structured world.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>As a professional hockey player, people think I live a charmed life. On the surface, I do. But they don’t know the horrors of my childhood, or the real reason that I have custody of my seventeen - year - old sister, Janelle. And that’s exactly the way I like it. They may think I’m a prick because I don’t like to share, but that’s fine. They don’t know me, and they don’t need to.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In an effort to help Janelle get settled in Phoenix and stay out of trouble at school, I set her up with a job at Clarke’s Corner, the local bookstore owned by the girlfriend of a teammate. It’s there that she makes friends with Veronica Woodley, the extremely annoying, arrogant, money - hungry divorcee who I don’t want anywhere near my sister. Janelle insists I’m completely wrong about Veronica, but I refuse to accept that. I have to keep reminding mysel f that that the gorgeous blond with legs for days is off limits.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Through a series of events, I start to see Veronica for what she <em>really</em> is — an amazing woman who has survived her own hell to come out even stronger. I have to admit, we’re more alik e than not and the attraction between us burns hot.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe I was all wrong about my ability to love and commit, but when the past comes back to haunt me, can I be the man that Veronica, and Janelle, deserve?</p>

This book can be read as a standalone novel. For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order.<br /><br />Riggs is just trying to right by his kid sister. The situation is rocky, as she is adjusting to living with him and a new location. Only with his career, he is not often home. Add to this his burning attraction to the woman so generous with her time and he is slowly going crazy.<br /><br />Veronica has enjoyed training the new hire to work at her best friend's bookstore. What she did not count on was being attracted to her older brother. He is such a typical hot jock. Well a hot jock who sets her on fire. <br /><br />This story was such a delight to read. While I absorbed the book almost whole, I found the characters were exciting and had so much depth to them. The pace moved along well, and the heat between the main characters was off the charts. This is a great addition to the series. Cannot wait for the next installment to come out! <br /><br /><br />***This ARC was given in exchange for an honest review. <br /><br /> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/7908224-2kasmom">View all my reviews</a>

Little does she know, when they finally exchange names there are several surprises! What happens when she wants more?</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #272727; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #272727; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Griffin was thrilled to find a welcoming woman, but he timing could have been better.

While I absorbed the book almost whole, I found the characters were exciting and had so much depth to them. The pace moved along well, and the heat between the main characters was off the charts.

<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Synopsis</strong></h1>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>The nerd, the coach, and the hookup…</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Asher-</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Swipe left, swipe left, swipe left. Sure, the idea of a quick, no-strings intimate rendezvous via hookup app sounds oddly thrilling, but it’s simply not me. Or maybe it is me, because it happened…and I liked it. Until I realized he looked familiar for a reason. A bad reason. Now I’ve made a faux pas with the sexiest man on planet Earth, and my internal karma system requires me to fix it. Help!</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Blake-</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I may seem like I have it together, but the truth is, I’m a hot mess. I’m so deep in the closet that I can’t remember my real name some days. That’s okay. The benefit of one-night stands is anonymity. Until Asher. Not a total surprise. I’ve always had a thing for geeks, but I’ve never met anyone like him. He’s a pint-sized dynamo on a quest for perfection who can help me come out…if I follow his script.</p>
<p>Hmm. I’m in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Jock Script is an MM bisexual, geek/jock romance starring a bowtie wearing nerd, a sexy lacrosse coach, and a shenanigan inducing script!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Excerpt</strong></h1>
<p> </p>
<p>Asher closed his mouth in a tight line and sighed. “We should change the topic. Every time I’m with you, I secure my spot in Hades.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I threw my head back and laughed. “What’s with you and the guilty conscience? I admire your commitment to honesty, Ash, but I don’t think it’s healthy to punish yourself after the fact. Not to mention, your rules seem arbitrary. They don’t make sense.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Sure, they do.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Hmph. You say sex is a part of nature, and you’re happy to discuss it until your internal sex-o-meter overloads and you decide you’ve overstepped some invisible boundary. It’s like you want to punish yourself for no good reason.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Asher opened and closed his mouth. “I don’t do that.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I polished off my salad, pushed my plate aside, and reached for my wineglass. “Yeah, you do. You should give yourself a break once in a while.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Says the devil incarnate.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Who me?” I flashed a roguish grin. “I’m not so bad, and you don’t have to be so good. Is this the remnants of a super religious upbringing or—”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Oh, gosh, no. My mother is a hippie. She’s not judgmental at all.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Then why—”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“I’m just weird, Blake.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>His tone was firm rather than sharp and sent a strong message that he’d prefer to drop the subject. In fact, he looked suspiciously eager to greet the waiter when he returned to clear our salad dishes and set dinner plates on the table. I observed his animated hand gestures, his starched collar, and perfectly straight bow tie, wondering what he was hiding under all that armor.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Asher wasn’t weird, he was—okay, fine…he was totally weird. But I had a feeling he was compensating too. Making up for something or glossing over an unseen flaw. Sort of like a kid standing guard over a lamp he’d busted by accident. No one would notice as long as he made sure the unblemished side was never shown.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Call me crazy, but that got me. Yes, I was very attracted to him and definitely wanted to get naked and horizontal with him ASAP. But I wanted to know him too. I wanted to peel away his protective layers and study his quirks. His internal system of checks and balances fascinated me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I twirled my fork around my pasta and smiled. “You know, I’m no devil and anyone who sucks dick like you cannot be an angel. There’s got to be a good middle ground for us.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Yes. As friends.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Right,” I agreed, shifting in my seat to adjust my cock when he hummed around a mouthful of pasta. No joke, my dick woke up at the mention of alien sex and was now stretching the seam of my zipper. I sipped my wine and willed my body to get the “friend” memo. “So, <em>buddy</em>…since we’re supposed to be spending time together now, I think you should come to my game next weekend.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Game,” he repeated, drawing out the single syllable into two. “The one you coach? Or do you play also?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“I play with a club team, but our season ended a couple of weeks ago. We’re on a break till summer, which is fine ’cause my kids have finals and my girls’ team is in the last stretch before CIFs.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“I don’t understand that acronym, but I’ll come to your game and maybe afterward we can do power tool…things.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Sounds like a date. The game is at ten at Westgate. I’ll text you the address.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Okay. I have questions, like…where do I sit and what should I wear? Also, what are the rules?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I smiled. “Sit wherever you want and wear whatever you want. The idea is to have fun. Well…and to kick OC Lutheran’s ass. As for the rules…the goal is to put the ball in the net more times than our opponent. You’ll be able to follow along.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He didn’t look convinced. “I’ll do some research. Now, what about us? Do you want me to be there and not speak or…are you going to introduce me? And if so, what will you say? I need to rehearse my lines.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Lines? This isn’t a play, Ash. We’re friends.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“No, we’re not. We hardly know each other.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I frowned. “Then we need to fix that ’cause I’m going to introduce you as my friend. It’s less complicated that way.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“And if someone asks where we met, I’m allowed to improvise, correct?” he teased. taking a big bite of pasta.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Too big of a bite. He slurped a rogue piece of tagliatelle with wide eyes, then covered his mouth with his napkin. It was pretty freaking cute. I pointed at the sauce on his cheek.</p>
<p>When he swiped at the wrong side, I hooked my finger and motioned for him to lean in. I wiped his cheek with my thumb, underestimating the intimacy of the gesture. The strong current of heat and desire sizzling between us threw me off guard, rendering me speechless.</p>

<p><strong>Drew and Cleevs love hockey, but they love each other more. How can the men find a way to save what matters most?</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Todd Cleever and Drew Simon are crazy about each other. They started dating three years ago when “Cleevs” was a rookie defenseman for the Chicago Ice. Drew, the team’s captain, was a few years older than Cleevs. Both men were deep in the closet, but it didn’t take long for them to fall in love.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cleevs was traded to the Bethesda Barracudas a year later, causing a heartbreaking separation. Ever since, they’ve skated around the problem with occasional stolen nights together and brief vacations under the guise of “friends,” but two years of living apart have taken their toll.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As the holiday approaches, Drew and Cleevs decide things have to change. Still, with their careers and two professional hockey teams in the way, how can they score the game-winning goal and save everything they cherish most?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you like fierce love, a smallish age gap, exciting hockey, and a steely determination to make things work—not to mention enough steam to fog up all your windows and a fantastic HEA—this is the book for you. The novella contains about 43,000 words of sparkling holiday romance.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Lucien Cummings</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The pestilents are trying to kill him.</p>
<p>He’s pretty sure the Water Weaver wants to kill him as well.</p>
<p>But after two months of fighting an attraction for a man who couldn’t possibly be his mate, Lucien cracks when he’s pulled into an impulsive threesome with Calder and a sexy man they picked up in a bar.</p>
<p>That night was earth shattering.</p>
<p>And now he needs to figure out how to keep both men safe and his.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Calder Saito</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Calder doesn’t want to fight his attraction for the Fire Weaver any longer, but they can’t really be soul mates, right?</p>
<p>And what about Gio? The sexy man gives him such a feeling of completeness and peace.</p>
<p>Could one man really have two soul mates?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gio Russo</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can’t he just have them both?</p>
<p>Tangled Warriors is the fourth book in the Weavers Circle series. This MMM paranormal romance includes fast-paced action, running through Savannah, secrets, shapeshifting, kidnapping, deadly Girl Scouts, sexy times, insecurity, three crazy old ladies, soul mates, and magic!</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"> </h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Excerpt</strong></h1>
<p> </p>
<p>“Shots!” Gio suddenly proclaimed. “I think we could all use a round of shots. What do you say?” He looked up at Lucien and smiled. “Join me in a round of shots. Break the ice.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Nothing feels icy to me,” Lucien murmured, while the fingers on Calder’s waist tightened.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He suddenly felt bad. He was intruding like an annoying little brother. Yes, his intention had been to stop Lucien from hitting on this guy, but now that he was standing there, he felt how wrong it was. What Lucien did and who he slept with was none of his business. He was supposed to be working on getting rid of the bad blood between him and Lucien, not making matters worse.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“None for me,” Calder said softly. “I’ll grab the drinks and get out of your way.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gio surprised him by cupping the side of his face with a warm calloused hand. “Oh no, sweetness. We don’t want you going anywhere. You’ve got to stay.” Gio looked over Calder’s shoulder at Lucien. “We want him to stay, right?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Calder tensed, waiting for the rejection, but Lucien shocked him even more by pulling him in tighter so that he could feel Lucien’s groin against the small of his back. Those long fingers slipped down from his waist to caress his hip bone, sending the most delicious tingles all over his body.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Stay. Have a shot with us,” Lucian pressed. His voice was warm and so very tempting. Calder couldn’t remember ever hearing Lucien talk to him like that. He wanted to live in that voice. Just curl up in it like a warm, handmade quilt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Releasing him, Gio turned to the bartender as she delivered Lucien’s and Calder’s mix of drinks and ordered a round of shots. Calder didn’t hear what he’d ordered exactly because Gio had also slotted himself better against Calder, causing his brain to short out. He was now in the one place he’d never thought he’d be—a Gio-Lucien sammich. Even with all their clothes on, it was now his favorite kind of sandwich. He would happily eat it every day for the rest of his life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Calder was too tongue-tied to manage words. He nodded. At least he thought he nodded. He must have done something, because Gio’s smile grew wider. A second hand landed on his hip right where Lucien’s was.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The shots arrived, and Gio slid one over to Lucien before physically placing one in Calder’s hand as if he knew that his brain wasn’t in control of his body any longer. He watched as Gio clicked his shot glass on Lucien’s and then Calder’s. Tipping his head back, he sent the amber liquid down his long, sexy throat. Calder did the same without a thought. The burn was enough to wake him out of his stupor.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sucking in a harsh breath, he coughed several times while slamming his shot glass on the bar. Gio grabbed his hand again and shoved a drink into it. Without thinking, Calder sipped it, relieved that it was his gin and tonic. The addition of more alcohol to his system probably wasn’t the smartest, but at least it had gotten rid of his coughing.</p>
<p>When he could breathe, he took a deep drink and set the glass on the bar to find Gio smiling at him while Lucien’s hand continued to dig possessively into his hip.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You okay?” Lucien inquired. For once, the question didn’t sound spiteful or mean. There was genuine concern in his tone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Calder managed a small nod and Gio laughed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Of course he’s okay. What are you drinking, sweetness?” Before Calder could answer, Gio leaned in and licked his bottom lip, sucking it into his mouth for a second, then releasing it with a wet pop. “Mmm…gin and tonic. Not bad.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Calder barely heard the words. It was just a rush of blood past his ears as it raced to his steadily hardening dick.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As Gio moved away, he reached past Calder and pulled Lucien close. “And what are you drinking?” Calder watched as Gio licked his way into Lucien’s slack, welcoming mouth. He didn’t know what turned him on more—actually kissing Gio or watching Gio kiss Lucien. It defied all logic, but it was clear that his libido had zero interest in logic. He only wanted to know all the wonderful things Gio could do with his mouth.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gio released Lucien and licked his own lips slowly. His dark eyes had turned black as his pupils dilated with desire. “I can tell this is going to be a fun night already. I suggest we head to my place so we can get more comfortable and less likely to be arrested.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>We</em>? Calder croaked out.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I joined Jameson Force Security for three reasons: the missions, the danger, and the money. I definitely didn’t join the team to be an overpriced babysitter for a spoiled princess. Ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll tell you Jackson Gale is an adventurer through and through. Yet here I am, halfway across the world, watching over Princess Camille of the House Winterbourne. Even her name sounds stuck up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After arriving in Bretaria, I realize that Princess Camille is nothing that I expected. Beautiful, smart, and sophisticated, Camille is the very picture of elegance and grace. But under her perfect façade, she is funny, adventurous, sexy as hell, and impossible to resist. And <em>that</em> is a dangerous combination.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The closer Camille and I become, the more obvious it is that while she and I are compatible in many ways, our destinies are not. She has a duty to the monarchy, and I’m just an average American who’s fallen for a princess. Everyone says we can’t be together, but how does one walk away from the other half of their heart? </p>

This book can be read as a standalone novel. To enjoy the series, and to avoid any spoilers, I recommend reading this sexy series in order.<br /><br />Jackson thinks he will be basically babysitting a spoiled brat when he gets the assignment to watch over Princess Camille. She turns out to be a pleasant surprise. What he does not expect is to be so hot and heavy over her he is willing to do anything she asks. <br /><br />Princess Camille is not happy with being left in the dark with whatever the latest threat on her family must be. She is preparing as best she can to take over her father's duties when he is ready. Now she has the sparks between her and Jackson to contend with.<br /><br />This is a very good story from the characters, the heat, the pacing, and so much more. Lots of familiar characters for fans of the series to be happy as well as plenty of surprises to keep you wanting to turn that page also. I did not want to put it down! <br /><br /><br />***This ARC copy was given in exchange for the honest review. <br /><br /> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/7908224-2kasmom">View all my reviews</a> </p>

Twelve men. Twelve million dollars!</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">The game of reality TV hasn’t been an easy road for former Hollywood A-Lister, Deacon Brady, but he’s playing to win.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">This time in Salzburg, Austria ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">When a global pandemic forces the entire cast and crew into lockdown, things get complicated. For the first time in television history, Tainted Love goes live online, making the game interactive and oh so interesting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Former Navel Officer, Fynn, is the next bachelor in a long line trying to capture Deacon’s heart. The catch— he’s never even heard of Deacon Brady, so Fynn doesn’t give a damn about the competition.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">But what is Fynn really hiding?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Just when Deacon thought he’d seen and heard it all, the show’s producer, Dante, does what he does best, and drops yet another plot twist. It wouldn’t be good reality TV without a little drama ... or a lot!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Has Deacon Brady finally met his match?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">The hills are alive - Salzburg, Austria.</div>

Mantel</a><br /> My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4231075404">3 of 5 stars</a><br /><br /> This is book #8 in the Men Of The World series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. For reader enjoyment and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading the series in order.<br /><br />Deacon does not get a long with the latest bachelor, Flynn. The dislike appears to be mutual. Putting on a show in the middle of a Pandemic is one thing, a dating show is even worse that imagined.<br /><br />Flynn does not see the point in trying to woo a bachelor who is obviously a player. When they both agree to not being interested in one another, it seems that acting will come into play. Then the dating takes an unexpected turn..........<br /><br />This was a slow burn in every sense of the word. I felt like this story was too wordy, and the characters did not feel real to me for the first half of the book. Then it started to pick up and the so did the heat.<br /><br /><br />***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review only. <br /><br /> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/7908224-2kasmom">View all my reviews</a>
