Book #3 in Annabeth Albert’s Arctic adventures. We met Quill in the last book, as they rescued our guys in a plane crash. Quill is 40, a loner, loves being a Ranger [image] in this Alaska park. They meet the new batch of volunteers for the winter season. Gregarious and chatty, Owen, 36, Korean American, has survived cancer, [image] and is checking off Bucket List items. He’ll be paired with Quill and help maintain the park, rescue folks and more. In the beginning, closeted Quill ignores Owen, and each has different tasks. Owen offers Quill some food, which breaks the no communication issue, and our men start talking, eating, and learning about each other. Quill had a horrible childhood, and Owen’s been through a lot with his cancer battle, but his family is loving. We hear their stories, and we aren’t sure if they were meant to be together, they are so different. Used to being all alone, never being held or touched, Quill has a lot to learn about relationships, letting go to enjoy life, and Owen slowly shows him how.
[image]
We watch the action, rescues, and the men working together in the secluded area. All along with their attraction to the other, a bit of fooling around which leads to more sexy fun, Quill learns that he can have fun with Owen, who brightens each day. Our guys don’t click til later, but then Quill is all in. When there is an avalanche, important perspectives are put in place. I like this series of different settings, survival, rescues, unexpected passions, deep thoughts and hot sexiness. Enjoy !

In the first book, Valor On The Move, we saw "Valor," 21, the president's son kidnapped and rescued by Shane, 39, Secret Service Agent. After that episode the men quit fighting their anticipation. [image] ***We pick up here in Australia, outside of Sydney, where Rafa/Valor, 22, and Shane, 40, live, love, are safe, and very happy. We see their hot sexiness and blissful daily life together, but also their inner struggles from the past. Rafa's un-accepting parents are coming to visit; they hate Shane and want Rafa to come home. Arguments come with their visit, and that causes Rafa's self doubt and low self esteem come back. Shane has been ordered back to D.C. for questioning in the kidnapping plot, but his trip is a set up.
Once back, the remaining visit is tense and conflict-filled. When trouble arises on a sight-seeing trip, it's Shane, with Rafa's help that saves everyone, almost.
After the rescue and all are recovering, Rafa's Mom finally says something nice. [image]
This is a lovely older/younger romance with deep feelings, hot lovin' and an engaging story.
We are happy for the men, and the future is looking hopeful. Highly recommend this two book set. ENJOY !

This anthology of stories is a learning experience ! Any question you've ever had about "bears" and more are here for your learning pleasure. BeautifuThis anthology of stories is a learning experience ! Any question you've ever had about "bears" and more are here for your learning pleasure. Beautiful bears...regular bears, cubs, Daddys, leather, polar, muscle, panda, black, pocket, ginger, grizzly, etc. Woof. [image]
All of these short stories give us a chance to sample new writers. Fun. Informative. Sexy.
Truck Stop - Post WWII, Cleve owns a diner and Sully is a stranded trucker, each looking for comfort on a winter's stormy night.
* Bear Chaser - In Australia, Neil's new neighbors are big, burly, bears who restore race cars. Skinny, nerdy, Neil is fascinated by his new friends, and Brett really does it for him.
Life's Tiny Surprises - Mac is a big bear, school teacher. On his lonely birthday, he goes to a restaurant and his tiny waiter hits on him, and has been crushing on him for years.
Bear King of Snowbird Mountain - Jeremy is in town for his landscaping seminar, and meets Donald, a hunky bear who comes to his room, and Jeremy discovers Don's a werebear. [image]
Just Breathe - On Valentine's night, Will had to take a sleep study test. Our bear may need a CPAP machine to help him breathe better while asleep. When the sleep tech came in, Les, a bald, bearded, graying Daddy bear in scrubs, Will is smiling. After the study they head to the diner for breakfast, then bed at Les's.
* Barefoot - When Finn, a tall, rugby player, Ginger, is always buying discounted food, Sam, the cute, short, grocery guy thinks he's homeless. In reality, Finn manages the homeless shelter, and the confusion leads to more. [image]
Golden Bear - This started out so cute, with shy Norm bringing the city worker a mug of hot cocoa after the destructive storm. They have some meals, etc. and ends abruptly. Maybe I just missed the intent.
Banyon Court - In Hawaii, teacher Dan, and Hank, a Marine surfing instructor meet. Lots of historical event descriptions, ceremonial rites, and dance interpretation are the main focus of this pair. More spiritual in their heritage. I had to look up SO many words, and there was unusual language, details of history, cultural references galore. I admit I was lost in it.
The Bear and the Bar - A "freaky Friday" fairy tale. After an altercation at a bar, Dex was mean to a bear, a chubby guy, Dex wakes up balding, fat, and in a strange house. Lesson learned. [image]
Amped - Toby, 20, and older bear, Wolf, are hot together. It's a different story, a BJ in the alley, then a walk, these sexy men go home to Wolf's. * I wanted MORE !
* The Bear Next Door - Older, big, hairy cattleman, Rob, has had visits from neighbor, Bryce, younger, toned, blonde. Bryce is pursuing him and are moving along great until there is a misunderstanding, when Rob's long, lost son arrives. Bryce sees them hug and thinks Rob is cheating. Super great short story, *my favorite of the set. Cute ! Well written and wonderful. [image]
The Bear Fetish - Tall, mustached, big beefy Louis, meets suit and tie, Robert, who's a closeted corporate lawyer in town for a merger. Robert wanders into a bar and finds artist, Louis. They hit it off and go to Louis's place for a memorable night !
* Do-It-Yourself Guide To Getting Over Yourself - Bill, reeling from a break-up, goes to Palm Springs for July 4th, where he meets a graying bear at the pool, Arthur. After great conversation they retire for the evening. * another favorite.
* Hunting Bear: A Fairy Tale with a very hairy ending - A fairy tale of the Great White Bear hunt. Tyler the Twink is hunting Mike the construction worker, the coveted Great White Bear. But Tyler finds out what he really wants is right under his nose, his best friend. Imaginative, * fun short story ! [image] ======================== ENJOY ! All are cute in their own way, these are all short tales of beginnings. and I learned a lot about "bears" from the terrific Prologue. ================================

This is riveting, important, heart wrenching, heartwarming, fascinating, emotional, caring, tough, evil, and full of suspense. A story that will last in your memory, as will Pavle. A reminder that innocence is lost, bad things happen; but justice must prevail. It must. We have angst, decisions, danger, and feelings to consider. Pavle manages his own escape. They need security for an important witness who'll testify against human traffickers. Pavle is a small Serbian, 22, [image] who was kidnapped four years ago. There's a leak and a new Sheriff, that are making the handling of the case tough. Attacks at the safe houses where Pavle stays are a big problem. So, Chris, @30, a hunky Deputy in Carlisle, [image] makes a plan with Briggs and Marie, to take a leave of absence, but guard and care for Pavle in secret at Chis's home. Chris is basically undercover while they await the trial. Marvelous characters including Nanna as well.
Pavle draws amazing sketches and gives them to the FBI. He's so strong, smart and kind. Chris and Pavle are finding their ways to keep busy; to help Pavle navigate his freedom and new way of life. He's no longer in a tiny room with a window nailed shut.
There are many talks, explanations, revelations and tender comfort. We see the sweet moments of attraction, and later sexy times for this couple. We see the lethal precision of the good cops, plus we witness the injury and terrific ending and epilogue, with lessons learned along the way. [image]
Super interesting and well written, with just the right amount of angst, comfort, and suspense. Once again, Andrew Grey has given us a remarkable story.
I highly recommend it ! ENJOY !

Lancaster Harris III, Lany, works at police headquarters for his Uncle as an assistant. Lt. Salvador Delvicchio is a SWAT leader, Marine, and a strong, massive, hunky, Italian accented hero, who chose Lany. Great characters, a snappy, action packed short story with super anticipation and sexiness. [image] I liked this tale of opposites, the hot sex, and the total devotion and love. [image] [image]
Even after relatives intrude in their lives, it works out and we get a HEA, no cliffhanger. Looking forward to more fabulous stories, and lovable guys. ENJOY !

Oh, did I say sex twice already? This story is no different. Our scrumptious characters are here in book three of the adventures and love of Sal and Lany. Italian, Lt. Sal Delvecchio is a big hunk of a SWAT Team leader, [image] and he set his sights on Lany, the small ( premature birth issues),beautiful, long haired son of the Police Commissioner. [image]
We've loved them previously and again we see them get into some trouble, but work together to resolve the tangled web the story tells. Here we see the parents and brother Sal hasn't seen in twenty years, when they threw him out for being gay. All this time, his evil parents kept his brother from him, and now he finds out he has a nephew, Cole. His brother was in an accident, but it was a set up, and Sal had gotten hurt in a work case. The hospital kept mixing up the two Delvecchios, causing lots of problems. Plus the hit man sent after his brother, tries to hurt Sal, and Lany steps in front of him. This is fast paced, exciting, super sexy, and fun. [image]
The guys are so funny, snarky, and sassy in their banter, I get the biggest kick out of this pair. It is 144 pages of thrills ! Yes, it is book three in the Hot Mess saga, but each could stand alone. Although I can't imagine not reading all three of the tales with this duo. ENJOY ! ==========

An awesome tale for our Oscar ! Lucy Lennox and Molly Maddox give us the very best wrap up for this exciting series ! We get everything we didn't kno An awesome tale for our Oscar ! Lucy Lennox and Molly Maddox give us the very best wrap up for this exciting series ! We get everything we didn't know we needed !
Oscar, a playboy billionaire who owns Overton Investments. He's witty, charming, handsome with blue eyes. He has his hedgehog, Frank, who is usually in his pocket. Hugh, is a wedding photographer with golden and brown hair, with brown eyes, and he's a romantic to his core.
After Oscar... that is our series theme, because when Oscar dates someone, that person gets their HEA with the next person they date. But, Oscar is only ever the Best Man at their weddings. He always asks himself, "when will I find my "one?"
Oscar's Investment Company is super successful, he has sweet Frank, many friends, and family, and he's traveled the world. Then he meets Hugh, who intrigues him. [image] We have long conversations and see each other again. The non-planned encounters keep the two men on their toes. The first sexy time is blazing hot and thrilling. They each know it's a hookup. After three months, they begin texting for nearly a year. It keeps them happy and helps them know each other.
I really liked Hugh, because he's so funny, sassy, and sticks to his own needs and wants, and is a great character. Oscar, of course is an amazing man in many ways, as we learn as the story moves forward.

Briar Phillips, 5'4'' 130lbs. long blonde hair, gray eyes, pale, earrings, alligator loafers, a city boy, needed to get out of town because of his ex, is here to help at the Veterinarian with Nate, Tucker's partner. Derek Owens, green eyes, dark hair, a big rough man, muscles, wide shoulders, is closeted, and runs a Scrap Yard, has a pup, Sabbath, dark black and brown, fluffy dog with big ears.
The clinic was creepy at night, and the storm took out the lights, while Briar has an anaconda around his neck instead of the antibiotic bath. Then a pounding at the door, it's a big guy, who says he has an emergency. The guys terrified Briar, but he was a big help, with the snake, and the lights. The puppy did need help, too.
The dog got them talking, but they knew they were opposites. First there is the blind date gone wrong, which lead to our MCs super hot porch rail sex, a Jeep, the fish fry, the lake at sundown, plus the "L" word, and then the work calls.
Those calls turn into an emergency and rescue. This is so fun to read, with a brilliant cast of characters, lots of feels. Our guys are perfect for each other, to prove opposites attract.

SIN DEEP #2 We get hurt/comfort, opposites, D/s, and a New York M/M romance. Kacy Lowe, 26, is a thin, tattooed, curly haired blonde, with hazel eyes and tons of bruises. The cowboy bull rider is in pain and seeking help. River McIntyre, 32, is a tall, broad shouldered city man, a Dom, and frequents a club.
Beat up and no place to go, Kacy ends up at an old friend's, Sam, and that visit goes badly, so Sam then gets River to help Kacy.
River gladly takes Kacy, cares for him, helps his healing, and more. Kacy has never had anyone care for him before and he revels in it. Kacy is wary, because he's been betrayed previously, by family and so-called friends.
It's a sad story in his past, and he wants badly to understand it all.
Step by step, River gives Kacy guidance, and care. In this process, Kacy gets his questions answered and he did have many things to sort. We are rooting for the two men and we ride that tension with them.
In return, we get a lovely story of open-hearted help and care for a soul that needs it, and it leads them to a romance and relationship. It's in a world of BDSM, D/s, with blindfolds, rope, cuffs, edging, floggers and more, with the mental therapy for Kacy and his past trauma and low self esteem. The process is deep and meaningful.
The final reveal and discussion leads to a superb solution.
I liked these intense characters and the descriptions of the process.

As Patch navigates cleaning out the house, the funeral, seeing townsfolk and feeling overwhelmed, Patch must sort out his own thoughts, too. Tucker's rescue, Botchy, [image] This is extremely well written with intense emotions, vivid descriptions and a smooth pace, which reminded me of a southern drawl. The characters seem bigger than life and very realistic, as we read about their past and present lives, and the how and why of who they are now. We can examine these two men and really see who they are.
Patch and Tucker have incredible sexual encounters full of new techniques Patch has never performed or felt before. [image] Their sex is full of erotic, raw, fantasies that come to life, which are dynamic, thorough and satisfying beyond their dreams. [image] The men's hotness includes rope, blind folds, extreme edging, scenarios that are dirty, crude and amazing, as well as devastatingly tender and full of need. WOW !
We get delicious descriptions of the desolate surroundings, the internal deep thoughts, and the fulfilling conversations by our men. [image] I highly recommend this southern M/M romance.

This is an awesome story. CHICAGO. Two strangers, opposites, became work partners three years ago, Deputy U. S. Marshalls. Two manly men who kick butts and take names. * Ian Doyle, 36, 6'2" 185, ex-military Special Forces, [image] Green Beret, blue eyes, dark brown hair, lean muscled and "panther-like," scarred, he is straight and a strong dependable man of the Law. * Miro/Miroslav Jones, 31, 5'11", bulky muscles, [image] wide shoulders, more like a "bull." He's tough, solid, scarred and resilient. He was a policeman before a Marshall.
We get to see our guys at work, taking down some criminals. We get to see our guys close up in cases where they shine, plus see them interact with family, too.
It's Ian and Miro's banter that is witty and wonderful. We find Ian caring about Miro, over and over, and we know that Miro has loved Ian for years, but Ian is straight. [image] While Ian is on a military op, which he does from time to time, the secret mission takes about a month. Back at home Miro is injured in a botched and infiltrated prisoner transfer which should have been routine.
As Miro heals, we get his inner thoughts of his childhood and his need to be a Cop/Marshall. As we watch our men meld work and [image] caring about each other, the time is passing. Later, our guys realize their emotions are opened up and sexy times begin. This is first times for Ian, who is hesitant to ruin the friendship, but jumps in wholeheartedly.
Another transfer has Miro injured greatly, but the job gets finished. The men get even closer.
This series walks us through their lives and progress, while performing their duties and planning life together. Of course there is more action filled missions. [image] The last mission has our two Marshalls take on a responsibility with WITSEC (Witness Protection) men.
These men are fantastic and the cast of characters are lively. Mary Calmes give us everything we love. I am moving on to the next book in the series, I want more from these guys.
ENJOY !
