Averaged!


Well wasn't that just a lot of fun. Some goodies and some that were take it or leave it, but overall highly recommended for peoples into any kind of Daddy kink. Oh if I haven't labelled the pairings in the individual reviews that means it's MM.

A Leap of Faith - M.A Innes - 4.5 hearts

"I want to be your Dom and your Daddy and your everything"

Bailey and Harper have been exclusively "scening" together at the local BDSM club, just normal sub/Dom dynamic, you know some flogging here and there, no funny business. Nothing even coming close to a relationship despite their obvious connection. When one day Bailey admits to being a Little at times, a "grown-up" at others and sometimes still a good old regular sub.

I really dug this set up. It so unique and yet feels a bit more realistic to how a relationship of this nature might look in real life.

I loved Harper and Bailey. They were sweet, had some great relationship development and were sexy as hell.

“I was planning on romancing my boyfriend tonight and maybe playing with my sexy sub, but I think it’s my needy slut that wants to come out to play.”

Some of MA Innes books can be a bit repetitive if read one after the other but I loved this one, more unique with some great characters.

Daddy's Rent Boy - Chara Croft - 3 hearts

Trigger warning: brief mention (no description) of child predators and an abusive past relationship featuring non-con sex.

This whole story takes place in the space of 9 hours? or close to it. One night. So that alone should prepare you for some suspension of disbelief. Be prepared for the insta-love/lust story of a lifetime. This is one big fuck-fest… actually no it's not quite one big fuck-fest and in fact if it had been I think I would've enjoyed it more.

Damien's brother hires him a rent boy without his knowledge. He's a 40 year old man recently out of a loveless marriage and has never fully admitted to anyone that he's gay, but for some reason his brother knew this and hired him a hooker….. soooo, gorgeous and scared boy Jack turns up and after a bit of toing and froing they have long long dirty sex where Damien is Daddy and Jack is owned oh so thoroughly. Sounds great right? Well it was rather fantastic except……

Jack has got a pretty horrific past (hence the trigger warnings), he's scared and alone and been living on the streets and just got out of a 3 year long abusive "relationship", I say that loosely because it was described more as an "arrangement" where he "didn't fight" in exchange for somewhere to live (like an evil Daddy). There is no in-depth detail into his abuse, it's just mentioned here and there, but the fact that it was mentioned at all made everything that happened with Damien feel so uncomfortable. I just keep thinking, "no Jack, don't say you want him to keep you, you've been trained to think that's what you need in life!". Everything about a quick insta-love relationship with a controlling Daddy when he'd been through that much shit, just sours the whole thing and makes it all feel very traumatic.

This story would have been great without the abuse present. Jack could have just been a rent boy on his first job and it would have still worked without all the yuckiness that came with it.

Sexy as fuck sex and a fun premise to the story... shame it was sullied by Jack's completely unnecessary traumatic history.

Daddy, At Your Service - Eden Bradley (FF) - 2.5 hearts

I liked how this began and I liked how Cami and Grey's relationship started. I really liked Grey and her mix of masculinity, beauty, gentleness and dominating presence, I liked the contrast to delicate feminine Cami. I thought all their sex scenes and spankings were really hot and I enjoyed them all. And I really really wish I could end it there, but there is a but….

There was so much talk about the secrets they needed to reveal to each other and how they couldn't commit to a full Daddy relationship until these secrets were revealed. Knowing it's a short story, everytime the conversation came up about "revealing the secret", I thought, 'oh good they'll talk and then we can move into the kink'. But no, they revealed parts of a secret and waited until the next conversation to reveal another part….

About 75% of the way through I was starting to doubt seeing any kinky scenes because the big reveal still hadn't happened and then… and then the most annoying thing happened which had me rolling my eyes and remembering why I don't read stories with women in them. Grey was great (go figure being the more masculine female, therefore not "emotional"), Cami was not, seriously.



I actually skimmed the drama because seriously, not interested and skipped to the end to finally see their Daddy relationship come to fruition and….. it was an very hot sex scene with some Daddy naming. I was disappointed, I'm not going to lie, but I do think that's just me.

Here is the take home message. This book is about a vanilla relationship (despite the constant talk of kink) that features a partner who is more put together and in charge than the other, likes being called Daddy at times and enjoys giving a good spanking. There's silly drama that feels unique to female characters that makes you roll your eyes.

Sculptures and Snuggles - Della Cain - 4 hearts

Fluff and kink, oh the dirty dirty kinky kinky.

This is an age-play book with a Little and Daddy, however there are only a couple of scenes where Preston acts as a Little, so it's not too full-on for those people not sure about it. However…. They do explore a certain kink that I have only read about in one other book and it might make people a little uncomfortable. I, of course, was all over the kink.



Really though, this was allll fluff, not an ounce of angst, drama or even negative feelings anywhere. I enjoyed it for what it was but glad it wasn't much longer.

Dirty Deed - Gianni Holmes - 4.5 hearts

I think this one is my favourite! We have a spoiled rich boy and his father's business partner! Plus a 24 year age gap!



There was a great story arc of their tentative understanding, fighting sexual tension, Daddy showing his boy how to behave and then their happily ever after. Throw in a cheesy villain, lacey underwear and a protective Daddy and you have yourself a winner.

What I liked the most though was Noah, he was a great mix of spoiled rich kid and a good heart. Sometimes I find these characters are either really annoying because they're so selfish or it doesn't make sense that they're portrayed as so selfish because they're actually these amazing humanitarians. Noah wasn't either and I liked that. His banter with Sawyer was very fun to read, I really liked how their relationship was a mix of strict Daddy and fun teasing.

A bit more closure on the little drama side story would have been nice though. Oh and also:

 ****SPOILER: fastest fisting scene ever written, seriously you do not write that type of scene in two paragraphs .

Butchers Babygirl - Siobhan Smile (FF) - 4 hearts

Trigger warning: main character past history of rape, drug and alcohol addiction.

Well wasn't that just the sweetest book ever! Yes that sentence might sound a bit weird after putting up my trigger warnings, but this really was such a beautiful story. I kept waiting for the shoe to drop, for something terrible to happen and it never did. Butcher and Toni are just adorable!

There were a lot of places this book could have gone with the themes it explored, dysmorphia for transgender people, PTSD, hate crimes, rape, addiction and the struggle with soberity, working in life threatening jobs, but everything was kept focused on the two characters and their love. These themes were there to shape the characters we saw in the story, to give meaning to their actions and provide a deeper picture of these two women. The story is set in a time when they have grown and changed and work with their history, rather than letting it control them.

Butcher and Toni were made for each other but didn't act on their romantic feelings for sixteen years. They accepted and loved each other above anyone else their whole lives and were best friends. This story was real Daddy kink, one partner caring, protecting and providing for the other above all else. Unconditional love. It really was very sweet.

Slippery When Wet - Morticia Knight - 4.5 hearts

Very very much enjoyed this one. Calvin is literally a perfect Daddy for Ellery who is just finding his place in the world of age-play. I liked how the story showed Ellery's struggles with staying in 'little space', not overthinking things when he was meant to be in the moment. I haven't read that in many books with people new to kink and while I may have appreciated how that aspect was more realistic I can assure you nothing in this story is more than an absolute fantasy. And I loved it!

Sometimes it's nice to read about the rich perfect Daddy coming in to save the poor sweet boy and everyone falling in love within a week. The only thing I didn't enjoy was that it ended just as they were getting to the good stuff.

Daddy Abroad - P.D Carter - not rated

Oh no oh no oh no, the dreaded time jumps. I can easily handle 2 different time periods intertwining throughout the story, but this was not that! This started with '2 years later' then '2 years earlier' then 'present day', this alone had me going back to check the time period again because what made this even more confusing was alternating POV, so there was no way to really track a single person's journey. Anyway after 'present day', we skipped to 'yesterday', then referenced meeting each other ten months earlier so obviously we skipped to '3 months into quarantine', which I think was the 10 months earlier? Confused yet? Cos I sure was.

Unfortunately this sort of lost my interest, which is a shame because Michael seemed funny and like I could like him if I gave him a chance, but the time jumps had done their damage and I didn't feel like continuing.

I made it to 50% of the way through before wanting to skim, so I'll call it there and not rate it as I chose not to continue. I did skim ahead and it looks like the rest of the story was set in the time period where they met, with the epilogue jumping to "present day". Why not just write everything in chronological order and all the 'present day' stuff as the epilogue?

Van: Dr Richard's Little's 32 - Pepper North (MMF) - 3 hearts

That was ridiculous, not in a bad way but in a corny, fantastical, completely silly way.

I have never read a relationship that started as quickly as this one. Within one page of meeting they're all holding hands, touching butts and talking about bedtime stories and then one page after that…“Damn, Little boy. How have we existed without you ?”

I wouldn't read this for any kind of deep feelings or character/relationship development. There were some pretty fun kinky scenes with a 'medical' examination and they really went all in with the age-play which on their own were fun.

This was my first threesome story with a Little, Mommy and Daddy and I liked the concept so it gets extra points for that, although it didn't go into the relationship dynamics as I would have hoped.

Secrets and Princess Dresses - Jamie Merrick - MMF - 3 hearts

Hm, this is a tricky one. On the one hand this was sweet and incredibly sexy, I loved Jesse and Dalton and the snippets we saw of them being Daddies, however they were only snippets and I wanted to see so much more.

Hannah wasn't a very fledged out character, although I guess she might have been previously…. And by that I mean this was clearly a sequel to another story featuring these three and their history. And that… that is just frustrating. Yes it was good that I could follow along just fine, but everything was based around what they were like 'before' and how much they've grown 'since then' and how they've waited and waited to be together because of situations that happened 4 years ago. It didn't inspire me to go back and read their prequel because I saw their HEA (albeit rushed? But I guess not because this relationship started long before this book started), in the end it just took me out of the story.

This could have been a pretty damn sexy short about two daddies and their Little girl exploring a new kink, if not for the unread and very significant history. I would have enjoyed it much more.

Dirty Hand - Nora Phoenix - 4.5 hearts



So delicious. So so delicious. This one was gooood. Both Jack and George are unapologetic sexaholics who love a power dynamic and enjoy things to get very dirty and very rough, however they haven't been able to find someone that fits that criteria and is good for more than a one night stand.

Jack is a gentle giant.

"Oh, he had no trouble finding men to fuck, but he’d never encountered one who would let him fuck and fuss, who allowed him to show his rough and his gentle side."

And George didn't think anyone would want such a horny depraved boy, but these two are a match made in heaven.

"For the first time in his life, he was unafraid to be himself, to be as dirty and horny and slutty as he wanted to be because Jack had him. Daddy not only understood but also loved it."

The only problem with this book is that it was too short! I felt like we missed too many snippets of their relationship and finding their groove in the Daddy/Boy space.

Great way to finish this anthology with a bang!

Review: Rebel (Ballsy Boys #1) by K.M. Neuhold & Nora Phoenix

"I don't do relationships, I break them." ~ Troy

If there’s one thing life has taught me it’s that everyone eventually leaves. But that's okay because I have a strategy: no friends, no boyfriends, limit repeat hook-ups, no sleep overs, and above all leave them before they leave me. I’ve put my break-up skills to work doing others’ dirty work for them. The last thing I expected when I agreed to do an embarrassing breakup song and dance was to end up on the doorstep of the very recognizable—and stupidly sexy—Rebel. When you meet a man like Rebel you'd be insane not to make a move. And just because he has me tossing out every single one of my rules doesn't mean I'm in trouble, right?

“I’m everyone’s friend, but no one’s everything.” ~ Rebel

I love working for Ballsy Boys, but when you make the kind of videos I do relationships are pretty damn impossible. Besides, guys find me sexy and want to either be with me or be me, but no one has ever cared enough to see the real me. Until I meet Troy. He has no problem whatsoever with my job, but he’s determined to keep me at a distance. For the first time, a hook-up alone is not enough. I want more with him. Hell, I want everything. But he resists at every step until I’m about ready to give up. What do I need to do to show him that this is real and worth fighting for?

***Rebel is the first book in the Ballsy Boys Series and is a super sexy MM romance with plenty of good times. While this book and this series do contain some instances of sex outside of the main relationships, they DO NOT contain cheating.


This was my first experience with both of these authors and while it had the potential to be a weightier read it was actually low angst, fluffy and sexy. It's also a nice introduction to a series featuring gay porn stars affiliated with a studio that bears a striking resemblance to the Cocky Boys.

Rebel is a Ballsy Boys staple who reminded me of Tayte. *growls*


NOT MAD AT IT! Heart eyes for days where Tayte is concerned.

Troy is a struggling college student who is trying to make ends meet by any means necessary including breaking up with others' paramours for them for money which lands him on Rebel's doorstep. In a banana suit. WITH WEED in there! Somewhere?

I digress.

Troy, being a porn star aficionado, of course recognizes Rebel right away. It just so happens Rebel is his #1 porn star crush so... one thing leads to another and these two have a sexy little friends with bennies thing happening.

I struggled with Troy a bit. He seemed sort of one note to me and Rebel is so outgoing with a charming bonhomie about him that I had trouble understanding their connection. Above and beyond their sexual compatibility, that is.

Troy has a childhood that is rife with hardships that has left him unwilling to make himself vulnerable to anyone. The feelings he has for Rebel he keeps channeling back into sex which works for awhile but Rebel is fairly dogged in his pursuit of more.

Make no mistake, Rebel makes good usage of the porn star angle. These two have large and in charge sexual appetites and are ready to go at a moment's notice. That pool scene... U.N.F.


The authors did a good job of building their relationship by utilizing dual perspectives. The progression from casual to more serious feelings between them was discernible. However, once they commit to being exclusive the story felt like it hit the fast forward button especially with Troy's ability to 180 on his relationship aversion. Some of the events and even his facing his feelings required some suspension of disbelief but it aligned with the overall tone of the narrative.

The secondary characters are what really caught my attention, though. I don't even have words for how much I want Bear and Pixie's book. Silver fox + twink?!!?!!!! Please kink gods, let them be kinky. Just a lil? Pretty please? With sugar on top? I can throw in some cuffs to sweeten the deal? #giver

But really, all of the other porn stars piqued my interest: Tank, Brewer and Heart. But I also really liked Troy's nerdy friend Mason. He needs someone that'll treat him better than his tool of an ex-boyfriend.

I'm antsy to continue the series and if you're looking for a light and sexy read, you've found it.

EXCERPT

“You really don’t have to come up. I have a shitty little apartment. It’s nothing like your place,” I tell Rebel. “Plus, I’m obviously not up for fooling around.”

“I don’t give a shit.”

I scoff and shake my head but don’t argue further. If we keep hanging out without fucking around, what does that make us? Friends? Something else?

In my apartment, I cringe inwardly, imagining what Rebel must be thinking as he steps into the one room that holds my whole life. Usually when I have a guy in here, we’re too busy getting naked for me to worry what they think of my living space. And, beyond that, I can’t imagine I’d care what any of those randoms think anyway.

“If you don’t have tea, how about I make you some soup or something?”

“Why are you doing this?” I eye him skeptically.

“What? Do you want something more substantial? I can make a sandwich.”

“No, I mean why are you being so nice?”

Rebel’s eyebrows furrow, and the corners of his lips tug down in a frown. There’s a sharp sadness in his striking blue eyes that makes me want to shove him away or crawl into bed and hide for a week, anything to get away from the pity.

“We’re friends, right?” Rebel asks.

“You’ve had your dick in both my mouth and my ass.”

“So...best friends?”

I want to laugh, but the pain meds are starting to wear off, and my nose is starting to throb. “I’m not usually friends with guys I fuck around with,” I explain for what I feel like is the hundredth time since meeting Rebel.

“Then who are you usually friends with?”

My mouth opens and closes like a dumbass fish. I’m not sure if he was trying to throw shade, but damn if he didn’t get me. “I don’t have friends,” I finally admit with a little bite in my tone. I don’t want friends, and I don’t need friends.

“We’re friends; deal with it. Now, soup?” He skirts around me into my kitchen, leaving me at a loss for words. “Why don’t you lay down on the couch and find something for us to watch? I’ll bring you some food, and we’ll get a dose of the painkillers the ER prescribed into you, and you can sleep through the worst of the pain.”

I almost ask again why he’s doing this, but decide that whatever his motivation, it feels nice to be taken care of for a change. I settle onto the couch and put on the second season of Stranger Things.

It’s not long before Rebel brings me a bowl of soup, a second dose of the painkillers, and a glass of water.

“Thank you.”

Brad feels nothing but shame about himself. Shame about his sexual needs, about his reputation, about his medical problem no one knows about. No one, except his best friend Charlie, but no matter what feelings Brad may have for him, he’s not going there. Charlie deserves so much better, and Brad desperately needs something not even Charlie can provide.
Charlie has loved Brad forever, but he’s never acted on his feelings, unsure of where he stood. Plus, there was the complication of his boyfriend. But when his boyfriend’s abuse gets too much for Charlie, it’s Brad who helps him escape and recover.
Miles ends up severely wounded in the line of duty as an FBI agent. He’s floored when the man he was protecting, Indy, opens his home to him so he can recover. Indy also sets him up with Brad, who turns out to be a perfect solution for Miles’ sexual issues…until Miles wants more than sex from him, and a developing friendship between Miles and Charlie complicate things even more.
Bit by bit Charlie and Miles break through Brad’s defenses, until they come crumbling down. Miles will have to prove he can provide what Brad needs, and Charlie’s sweet love will be put to the test. But when Brad finally finds the courage to break free of his shame, will the fragile love that has blossomed between the three of them survive?
No Shame is a steamy M/M/M romance that ends with a happy ever after for all characters, including those from the previous books in the series. It’s the fourth book in the No Shame Series, and is NOT a stand alone novel, so make sure to read the first three books first (No Filter, No Limits, and No Fear). It contains hot sex, a ménage, a little daddy kink, more hot sex, and a poly-amorous relationship that transcends labels. Also: trigger warning for mentions of domestic abuse, sexual abuse, and rape.

EXCERPT
Miles had not yet met Josh and Connor, but according to Noah and Indy, they were fully on board with him moving in temporarily, even though Brad and his friend, Charlie, were also still staying there.

Noah parked the car in the driveway, as close to the front door as possible. “I’ll get Connor to help,” he said. “I don’t fully trust my leg yet, so I can’t support you.”

Miles nodded. Noah had lost a leg in Afghanistan, he’d read in Indy’s file, and had recently needed surgery to amputate even higher up, due to complications. “Okay.”

The man who stepped outside with Noah a few minutes later was massive. Broad arms and chest in a tight Red Sox shirt, strong legs. Miles recognized him from the pictures in the file. Ignatius O’Connor, called Connor by everyone. The last Miles had heard, the guy had been balls deep in the Boston crime scene, so he had no idea what had happened there.

Connor’s cheeks were flushed, as if he’d been doing something physical, and he and Noah were arguing about something.

“I don’t believe this,” Indy muttered, threw open his door and left it open as he stepped out. “Seriously? You guys were fucking again? At the rate you’re going, poor Josh won’t be able to sit for a week.”

Connor shrugged. “At least he’ll know who he belongs to.”

Noah shook his head. “You’re a regular fucking caveman, O’Connor. You would have done great with the dinosaurs.”

“Now why would I want to fuck a dinosaur? You’re not making any sense,” Connor said, his Boston accent thick.

Indy opened the door on Miles’ side. “Let’s get this guy inside so he can rest.”

Another man stepped outside. Tall, lanky, with cute, boyish looks. That had to be Joshua Gordon. He walked carefully, as if something hurt. Miles’ eyes narrowed. Had Connor hurt him? Josh took another careful step, and the source became clear. His ass. Had Indy been right? Holy crap, what kind of people were they?

Connor turned to watch Josh, and a look of pure love painted his face. Damn, but this was way more than mere fucking. Like with Noah and Indy, the love was palpable.

“You okay, babe?” Connor asked.

Josh leaned in, kissed him. “Yes, Connor.” Connor’s face lit up with happiness and a deep satisfaction.

“Shit, guys, sometime today, please?” Indy said, tapping his foot.

Aaron is drowning. After coming out as gay, he lost his parents’ approval, his job, and his sense of identity. He feels like a freak who doesn’t fit in anywhere. His last hope was his brother Josh, but Josh can’t seem to forgive him for how Aaron treated him when they were teens. Not that Aaron can blame him, because he did treat Josh like crap.
All Aaron wants is for someone to accept him, guide him, because he doesn’t have a clue. When sexy jiujitsu teacher Blake takes him in and starts mentoring him, Aaron has hope for the first time, even though he can’t understand what Blake sees in him.
Blake doesn’t do relationships. At all. He’s more than willing to help Aaron find solid ground under his feet, but that’s it. Until insecure, vulnerable, and surprisingly sexy Aaron gets under his skin, triggering all kinds of protective instincts that make Blake long for more. He wants to take care of Aaron, give him what he needs, but how can he convince Aaron of that?
When Josh’s friend-with-benefits Indy’s past finally catches up with him, it endangers them all—and leads to heartbreaking decisions for everyone involved.
No Fear is a steamy M/M romance that ends with a HFN for Aaron and Blake, but has a continuing storyline as well. It’s the third book in the No Shame Series, and is not a stand alone novel, so make sure to read the first book (No Filter) and the second book (No Limits) first. It contains hot sex, a little kink, more hot sex, very mild puppy play, and a beautiful friendship-with-benefits that transcends labels. Also: trigger warning for mentions of sexual abuse.

EXCERPT
“You can start with plain vanilla sex, work your way up to the kinky stuff,” Blake said with a laugh.

“You make it sound boring,” Aaron complained.

Blake sobered. “No, and I’m sorry for teasing you a bit. You set the pace, Aaron. If you’re not ready for sex, you wait. If you are, you find someone who will respect you enough to take it slow, okay?”

Aaron reached out for his hand and held it tight. “Will you do it?” he asked.

Blake’s heart jumped in his chest. Was Aaron asking what he thought he was? “What do you mean?” He needed to be certain.

“I want you to be my first.”

He looked so cute and pretty and sexy, still in that gorgeous top and the tight jeans. But his words were cute and pretty, too, like a schoolgirl on prom night. Blake needed to manage expectations. “Aaron, I don’t do relationships. I like you, I really do, but don’t read more into this. I don’t date or hold hands or do romantic dinners.”

“That’s okay. I don’t need that. What I need is a safe place to gain some experience. You said it yourself, I need someone who respects me enough to take it slow. I want my first time to be good. I trust you. Please, Blake?”

Blake couldn’t help himself. He pulled Aaron close and brought their mouths together. At first, Aaron kept his mouth closed. Blake increased the pressure, licked his lips and pushed with his tongue until Aaron let him in. He angled his head a bit more, dove in deep. Aaron’s movements were slow, insecure, but he wound his arms around Blake’s neck and held on.

His mouth was sweet, hot. Blake tasted the peppermint Aaron so often suckled on, those white-and-red-striped ones. He teased Aaron’s tongue with his, until it responded, until they were doing a slick dance of push and pull. He was a fast learner, copying Blake’s moves at first, then coming up with a few of his own.

He was everything Blake usually avoided. Inexperienced, vulnerable, insecure. Yet kissing him did something to Blake’s body that he didn’t recognize. It triggered a hunger in him, a fierce need to possess, to own.

His hands lowered till they reached Aaron’s ass. He put one hand on each butt cheek, pulled Aaron close to him and ground his hips into him. The kid was hard again, and he himself had barely been soft since they had gotten into the dressing room. What was Aaron doing to him?

He broke off the kiss, swore softly at the sight of Aaron’s dazed look, his swollen lips. Fuck, Blake didn’t want to stop, not even close. He kissed him once more, the gentlest of kisses. “Not here. Not now.”

Aaron blinked. “But you’ll do it?”

“Tomorrow. I want you to have time to think about this, sleep on it. If tomorrow in the cold light of day you decide this is what you want, I’m your man.”

Cover Design: Sloan Johnson/Sloan J Design


BLURB

Josh is convinced he’ll never find someone who’ll love him the way he is. He’s not exactly a catch with his PTSD, which has transformed him into a homebody most of the times. Sweet, maybe, but also boring as hell. Plus, there’s that submissive tendency he recently discovered and is dying to explore. When Connor shows interest in him, he can’t believe the sexy cop would look at him twice, let alone make an effort to get to know him. When he does, Josh discovers theyb have more in common than he’d ever thought possible.
Connor had survived the ordeal that left his best friend and fellow Marine dead, but that survival came at a price. He’s a robot, going through the motions, but barely alive. Until fate intervenes when he meets Josh. The vulnerable man triggers all kinds of protective and dominant urges in Connor, but what would a cute guy like Josh want with an inexperienced, closed-off, bossy steamroller like him?
When Connor discovers his past endangers Indy, all hope for a future between him and Josh seems lost. After all, there’s no way Josh will ever choose Connor over Indy’s safety and Noah’s lifelong friendship. When a crisis hits, can Connor prove he’s strong enough to deal with everything that’s thrown his way?
No Limits is a steamy M/M romance that ends with a HFN, but has a continuing storyline as well. It’s the second book in the No Shame Series, and is not a standalone novel, so make sure to read the first book (No Filter) first. It contains hot sex, a little BDSM kink for beginners, more hot sex, and a beautiful friendship that transcends labels. Also: trigger warning for mentions of sexual abuse.

No Limits Teaser 1

EXCERPT

Connor needed to know. “But you are gay, though?”

“I am.”

“That’s good,” Connor said, then cleared his throat. So far for playing it cool. Oh, fuck it, that ship sailed long ago. You might as well go all in. “Look, before we continue this conversation, can you at least say something?”

Josh tilted his head to the side, his nose crumpling, making him look adorably cute. “About what?”

Connor threw his hands up in the air. “About whether or not you like me back. You still haven’t said a damn thing on how you feel about me, if you like me or not.”

This time, Josh's answer came wicked fast. “You’re hot and damn sexy, but I don’t know you well enough yet to decide whether I like you or not.”

Connor’s mouth dropped open slightly. “You think I’m sexy?”

Josh rolled his eyes. “Dude, you’re built like a tank, you’re as masculine as they come, you have the whole uniform thing going with a healthy dose of dominant macho and ‘don’t fuck with me’ thrown in. You’re, like, the wet dream of every bottom, including me.”

This brutally honest confession was not what Connor had expected from sweet, shy Josh. To be fair, the guy seemed a little flustered once the words were out, as if he’d said more than he’d wanted to. But holy fuck, those words had lit a fire inside of Connor.

“I’ve never done this before,” Connor said. “I’ve never been in a relationship, haven’t even dated, so I have no idea what I’m doing here, or how to do this.”

Understanding dawned in Josh's eyes, taking away his previous embarrassment, which was exactly what Connor had intended. He had this baffling urge to make Josh feel better. “You’re not out,” Josh said.
