Silver & Sage
Silver in the City Book 1
by A.D. Ellis
Silver doesn’t have time for feelings or a relationship. Then Sage shows up Sage is Silver’s exact opposite, his renter, and his new employee. The kid is much too young and much too innocent.
There are a million reasons why Silver and Sage should never get together. And Silver plans to keep it that way. Until all of those reasons go up in flames with one kiss.
Silver & Sage is a steamy, slow burn M/M age gap, opposites-attract romance between a shy, inexperienced nerd and an outgoing grump of a bar owner.

Omg. I love Silver and Sage. The first book in AD Ellis' Silver in the City series, it's fantastic!
I love Bode and Sage. Separately and together. They are mesmerizing from the start. Complete opposites, full of awkwardness, with the tension and small moments warming my heart. One man is socially awkward, the other is a people person.
Enter the Silver Boys. Two twins and their cousin. They are spectacular together, compelling and likeable. I enjoy their closeness as well as the way they banter.
Sage is an adorably sweet, endearing character. He's never has had a group who he belonged with, or anyone who really cared about him. His relationship with the Silver boys is enchanting. I love it all!
Bode is attracted to Sage immediately, but he's hung up on their 10 year age gap. Watching him suffer is certainly enjoyable. Of course, as great as the family element is for Bode, his relationship with his father sucks, adding a lot to the story.
Seriously, the writing is fabulous. A great story, intriguing characters, and some hot sex. The author excels at developing seamless dialogue, as well as creating characters who fully come alive. You can't go wrong with this one. And it ends with the perfect lead in to book two, Silver and Gold.
I am downright giddy about Silver and Sage and the whole Silver in the City series. If the others are even close to as good as this one, they will be amazing.

Silver & Gold is a steamy, slow burn M/M enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity romance between two slightly self-absorbed artists.

AD Ellis' Silver and Gold is a perfect continuation of her Silver in the City series. It can be read as a standalone, but it's much more fun to have read Silver and Sage first.
The way the story of Benji and Rhys starts, with a mistake that leads to a change to their business plans, is entertaining. It's a great idea that comes together is a fantastic manner.
Their story is one of two men who have to learn to take a chance on each other. Their hearts are already invested, they just need to convince their mind it's worth the risk.
They are certainly hot together, with some intense chemistry. I adore the way things come together for them once they drop the stubbornness.
Rhys definitely tries to avoid family drama, and of course Benji has it in spades.
Imperfection scares Rhys, causing him a lot of doubts.
I love this quote. So true. "No relationship is perfect." "...no family is perfect. Ever. ... Even if they appear perfect, they aren't."
Silver and Gold is another wonderful feel-good story by AD Ellis. I love every second of it and couldn't put it down. Now I'm anxiously awaiting the third book, Silver and Spice, as I have fallen in love with the Silver Brothers.

Silver & Spice
Silver in the City Book 3
When Spice asks Silver to fake a relationship with him, Silver agrees. He knows pretending to be involved with the older man will likely come back to bite him in the ass, but if the farce will help Spice and his young son, Silver is totally on board. All too soon, the consequences of the fake relationship weigh on both Silver and Spice. Will a meddling grandmother, an adorable little
boy, and a team of friends be enough to convince Silver and Spice to give a real relationship a shot?
Silver & Spice is a steamy, slow-burn M/M age gap, fake relationship, forced proximity romance with a silver fox, single daddy and a younger man ready for a family.

Oh, how I adore Ad Ellis' Silver in the City series. The third book, Silver and Spice, is wonderful, finally gifting us with Bay and Kyson's story.
This story involves a quirky old grandmother who bribes Bay into getting married to Kyson. Thus, from the start I was intrigued. What starts as a fake relationship turns real for these men and it's fantastic. They are so good together. All they needed was a kick in the ass to realize their feelings. If you've been reading along with the series, we knew something good was coming for these two.
Bay's raising his nephew Arlo who's a huge part of the story. And he's a completely enjoyable kid who's adorable.
I love the writing style and the well developed characters. Told in alternating 1st person pov, the reader is quickly drawn into the character's emotions. Their story is quick and fluid, with plenty of steam. It's also full of fun banter and dirty talk that just adds to the fun.
Silver and Spice is a wonderful combination of friends to lovers, fake relationship, and romance. It's a story of fighting what's right in front of you; a story of ignoring your own needs for those of your child. And it's a lot of fun.
A.D. Ellis is an Indiana girl, born and raised. She spends much of her time in central Indiana as an instructional coach/teacher in the inner city of Indianapolis, being a mom to two amazing school-aged children, and wondering how she and her husband of nearly two decades haven't driven each other insane yet. A lot of her time is also devoted to phone call avoidance and her hatred of cooking.
She loves chocolate, wine, pizza, and naps along with reading and writing romance. These loves don't leave much time for housework, much to the chagrin of her husband. Who would pick cleaning the house over a nap or a good book? She uses any extra time to increase her fluency in
