Synopsis

Moving into my first house is step one in starting my new life. Next is setting up my contracting business. I’m so focused on my future that a relationship is the last thing on my mind.

Then I meet Tristan, the single dad next door. He might be my total opposite, but we click in a way I’ve never experienced, and he quickly becomes one of my closest friends.

After attending a wedding as his fake date to make his ex, and his ex’s new boyfriend, jealous, I can’t deny that things between us have changed. I always thought I was straight, but being with Tristan doesn’t just feel good, it feels right.

Having a fling with my neighbor might be a recipe for disaster, but it could also be exactly what we both need to finally move on from our pasts.

Quinn and Tristan’s story is a best friends-to-lovers, bi-awakening romance between a retired porn model who just moved into his first home, and a single dad trying to navigate life after divorce. Expect a fake relationship, an age gap, found family, mental health rep, lots of spice, and all the feels as these neighbors find out that sometimes opposites really do attract.

Jenn Review

3.5 – 4 Stars

I thought this was a fun read, it’s a good neighbors/friends to lovers and I liked Quinn and Tristan, they are very sweet together! I thought these were very unique and complex characters and I liked how their story and relationship developed, it felt very natural and needed for them.

This story does have a slow-burn feel but again, I feel like that was needed for them. They start out as neighbors who become friends and then a helpful fake date turns into real attraction. It takes time for them though, Tristan is still healing from his divorce and awful ex-husband while Quinn is coming to terms with his sexuality. So that slow-burn works here. I thought it was very sweet to see how their relationship develops and they really start opening up and being vulnerable together. We really get to see the beautiful hearts that these two have and it’s easy to root for them.

I think I could have used a bit more angst in the second part of the book, in the beginning it seemed like there was the making of some decent drama unfolding but then it felt like things just kind of came together quickly and easily and that was that. I did really like the way it all comes together for Quinn and Tristan, they do find the happiness and love they truly deserve but I felt like it needed a little more drama throughout to make their story feel complete. This was a new to me series and I’m definitely curious about the books and characters. Overall, a sweet and fun read.

About the Author

What can I say about myself? It’s kind of like being the new kid in school and being asked to tell everyone a bit about yourself. Anyone else forget everything they’ve ever liked, thought of, and even their name in those moments?

A few facts about me; I’m a veteran, I’m Canadian, and I love books! I’ve been writing my own stories since I was eight and wrote my first novel at sixteen. I’m the first to admit those attempts weren’t my best work, but they started me on a journey of creating stories that has led me to fulfilling my dream of becoming an author. I’ve written and published in several genres under different names, but MM is by far my favorite, and I’m so happy to be able to share my stories with people today.

I currently live on Canada’s east coast with my kiddo and my cats. I have a shoe collecting addiction, and I enjoy taking long walks, discussions with friends, and reading anything and everything I can get my hands on.

RELEASE BLITZ & 5 STAR REVEIW: HEA: Happily Ever After by Lucy Lennox & Molly Maddox
Title: HEA: Happily Ever After
Series: After Oscar #5
Authors: Lucy Lennox & Molly Maddox
Genre: MM Romance
Tropes: One Night Stand/Lovers to Friends to Lovers
Always the Groomsman, Never the Groom
Billionaire, Fake Dating
Release Date: May 2, 2024
BLURB
Have you heard the expression “twelve times a groomsman, never a groom”? Neither had I… until it suddenly became clear that every man I dated found their One True Love in the person they dated after me. 
Now I’m writing Best Man speeches for my former boyfriends twice a month, the “After Oscar” thing has become a legend, and I have finally accepted that Oscar Overton is nobody’s Happily Ever After.
Which is fine.
Between running my investment company, providing for Frank, my emotional support hedgehog, and keeping my enthusiastic family from getting in my business, my life is plenty busy. The last thing on my mind is a relationship.
Until Hugh Linzee.
One hot night with the gorgeous wedding photographer somehow turns into a text conversation I just can’t quit, but I’m determined to keep my distance. Hugh has ideas… ideas about romance and fireworks and capital-L love… and I care about him too much to let him get those ideas about me.
Fate keeps throwing us together, though. After an accidental all-night phone call and a convenient wedding run-in, suddenly I find myself agreeing to be his fake boyfriend, and distance quickly becomes a thing of the past.
But how long until Hugh figures out he’ll only get his HEA… After Oscar?

5 Stars

Oscar finally gets his HEA – but holy hell that is a hard earned HEA! I really loved Oscar and Hugh and together they are just perfection, even if it takes an especially long time for Oscar to come to the understanding that he truly is worthy of love. And I love that Hugh is the one to show him!

I thought this book had a lot of wonderful, highly amusing moments that actually had me giggling mixed with very real and raw moments of vulnerability. It was a great mix of emotions that made it very real and I felt like I really got to know these characters. Oscar may come across as flippant and fun loving, but he’s actually a very guarded man who wants love but doesn’t feel he deserves it. Hugh is the perfect match for him, he is a man who loves romance and love and believes in the HEA with his whole heart. These two may start off with what is supposed to be a hook-up but they can’t stay away from each other and they both discover that they don’t really want to try to stay away.

I truly enjoyed this journey with Oscar, Hugh and of course Frank. Even in the moments that made my heart ache, I loved them so much and just wanted them to find the happiness and love that they deserve. It was definitely an emotional ride though and not always easy but I will say that when it all comes together, when they both finally figure it out *CHEFS KISS* perfection and totally worth it!

5 Stars

As a fan of the Elite Bros I expected to like this book but it was so freaking good and these characters are just amazing! I was hooked right from the start and can say this book never let me go. I absolutely loved it!

I felt like this was such a unique look at neurodivergent representation and specifically Prism’s experience and how he lives his life. There were times when he absolutely broke my heart, I felt for him and the struggles he experienced, but then comes Arsen who is just the absolute perfect match for him in every way. He seems to have a true understanding of Prism and supports him and cares for him and I felt that so deep in my heart. It’s very difficult for Prism to let anyone in given his experiences in life but Arsen finds his way in and makes sure they fit. (One of my favorite quotes from the book!)

They definitely face challenges though and it’s not the ones they expect, and those challenges test whether they really should be together. But it’s their deep love and need for each other that wins, in an exceptional way. Again, I love and adored this book, it’s full of passion, love, intensity that will give you goosebumps and the very best found family out there. The Princess and the Bear and their journey will have a forever place in my heart. A definite must read.

About THE ALMOST ROMANTIC:

Fake engagement. Real marriage. Both have an expiration date…

“Marry me.”
They were the last words I expected to say to my fake fiancé, but I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t back down from a challenge.
Pretend I’m engaged to my gorgeous and talented business partner to secure a business deal?
No problem.
Agree to a no-touch rule even though she’s been driving me wild since I met her?
Challenge accepted.
Resist grinning like a damn fool every time that same big-hearted, sunshine-y woman laughs with my little daughter?
Done.
So, yeah, when my fake fiancé’s vindictive business rival threatens to expose our make-believe romance, I can handle that too.
I’ll prove our engagement isn’t fake – by marrying her for real.

4.5 Stars

I thought this was a really fun book and I really liked both Elodie and Gage and man oh man do they have sizzling hot chemistry together! Despite this being a fake marriage story, I really felt like they were connected and meant to be right from the start. They do start out with a real date and attraction but the business side of life takes over and their relationship turns into an arrangement that can bring them both success. The problem is, that initial attraction doesn’t go away, in fact it grows as they really get to know each other and open up to each other and goes from attraction to so much more.

Again, I thought this was a fun read and it definitely made me laugh and swoon a lot! Elodie is a very strong, bold woman not afraid of going after what she wants and she’s a great match for Gage. He’s the kind of guy who hasn’t had it easy but he’s determined to build the best life he can for himself and his daughter. Both Elodie and Gage also know what it’s like to be a single parent, Gage being a widowed father and Elodie raising her younger sister after her parents died, and they are a great support for each other and the kids. I also really enjoyed the flow of this book, it was a good pace but also felt real and genuine.

Definitely a book I’d recommend for some good humor and spice and all around feel good!

Photo: Wander Aguiar Photography
Model: Tristan

Genre: M/M Hockey Romance Standalone
Trope: Second chance, age-gap, found family, college professor/student, HEA

Synopsis

PIERRE (“GAGS”)

My life is complicated.

Hell, I’m complicated.

I don’t know a life beyond how I’m perceived. After a devastating divorce, it looked like I never would.

Can a hockey fight change your life?

I may not understand my attraction to Sven Holmer, but I can tell you my obsession with kissing him started in the middle of a fight. When we met again, the conversation was easy, the banter effortless. Once stolen glances gave way to secret touches, I was more confused than ever. How the hell am I supposed to handle it when everything I’ve always believed about myself no longer fits?

Things are great… until they aren’t.

Our connection deepens with every minute we spend together, but like me, Sven is no stranger to betrayal and heartache. Between my stubbornness, his reservations, and the start of a new season, how can we survive months apart?

When tragedy strikes, all bets are off. I just hope it’s not too late.

Broken Ice, Mended Hearts features two thirty-something hockey players hardened by heartbreak. This compelling, angsty book includes a bisexual awakening, hurt/comfort, found family, first times, high heat, and a hard-earned HEA. Though it is part of the Bethesda Barracudas Hockey series, it can be read as a standalone.

  Blurb:

The best way to save my little shop? Marry my fake fiancé for real… When a sexy single dad walks into my shop and buys every box of chocolate just to ask me out, I say yes. By the end of a smoldering night, I’m saying oh yes. And in the morning I’m saying yes, yes, yes to an idea that can save both our businesses so long as Gage and I pretend to be engaged and wildly in love. But since my messy life is riding on this new venture, we agree that our one night was our only night.

Except, all our fake kisses quickly melt my resolve. Gage says he has no room in his life for romance, but he touches me like he can’t get enough. Tells me he can’t resist me. And gets down on one knee in the most romantic fake proposal ever.

But when my vindictive corporate rival threatens to expose the lie of us, my protective fiancé steps up and declares I’m his wife.

Looks like I just walked into a marriage of convenience.

At the end of the year, I’ll walk out of it…as long as I don’t fall for my husband.

Releasing: February 20, 2024

Cover Designer: RBA Designs

Photographer: @lanefotograf

 

A single dad sheriff doing his best to protect his town. A gorgeous stranger caught trespassing. A love never expected…

So, it turns out the town sheriff is a total cinnamon roll. A big, burly, grumpy, hot as sin, cinnamon roll. He found me hiding out on private property. Trespassing. I lied and told him I was only there because I was out of cash and had to sleep in my car.

I thought he’d give me a ticket and send me on my way.

Instead, he insisted that I stay at his guest house—right next door to him and his three kids.

I know better than to let them get close. I’ve been betrayed too many times to put my trust in anyone.

Too bad the air crackles every time he comes near, and I feel like I’m going to burn up every time I look at him.

All it takes is one reckless night to completely spiral into the bliss of the man and his big, capable hands. One dinner with his little family to completely fall.

Only I never told him why I really came to Time River. Now I have to choose to trust him with my secret before it’s too late for both of us…

Blurb:

The nomadic lifestyle of a wildlife photographer is perfect for Ren Stewart—he travels the world with no obligations, no place to call home. With time between assignments, he’s ready to leave the cold New York winter for sunny California. But twenty inches of snow on a layover means his flight’s canceled and he’s stranded. It’s going to be a long, lonely night at the airport waiting for the snow to melt.

Lucky for Ren, he meets a gorgeous man and they hit it off. Too bad they’ll have to go their separate ways.

Or will they?

Something in Schaeffer’s eyes suggests he might be up for sharing the last available hotel room…and the bed.

Airline pilot Schaeffer Morgan is used to being alone. It’s hard to have a relationship when you’re only home for a few days at a time. He’s learned to live with stolen moments of pleasure as well as bigoted remarks from coworkers who don’t know he’s gay.

When a family vacation brings him face-to-face with the man he spent two lust-filled days with in a hotel room—the man he thought he’d never see again—everything changes.

Their days and nights together lead to the possibility of something Ren only dreamed of as a foster child—a family and a place to call home—while Schaeffer begins to open up about his painful past. As their time together comes to a close, they want to keep the magic of what’s building between them. But with Ren away for months on assignment and Schaeffer’s busy schedule, is that wishful thinking?

One thing is for certain: neither of them wants to say goodbye.
