Falling in love was the easy part. When we have to face more tragedy, will it bring us closer or drive us apart?
When my world gets thrown into turmoil again, I need to learn that relying emotionally on others isn’t a bad thing.
We have to face our biggest challenge together—creating a different dream from the one we had envisioned.
Openly Yours is an m/m paranormal romance with a loving tiger shifter, a sweet monkey shifter, enthusiastic family members, and lots of cuddles. Whilst it is set in an alternate universe where omegas give birth, there are no pregnancy or birth scenes in this book.
Trigger warning for scenes revolving around infertility.

My Rating - 5 Stars!
Openly Yours is the second book in the Offbeat Shifters series by Colette Davison. This one picks up where Secretly Mine leaves off. And, wow, it's amazing to spend time with these men again.
When we catch up with Jesse again, he wants to get pregnant and is feeling guilty that he might not be able to reproduce. He's also feeling guilty about his friend's death.
Once again, I adore Jesse and Isaac. They're so perfect together, complimenting one another and encouraging each other. They are strong enough to help one another through the toughest of times, as they already proved in Secretly Mine. As an added bonus, they're also so damn hot together.
And, oh, I love how the title comes into play. Swoon. Just beautiful.
But, yes, there's angst. The fertility issues are so depressing. If infertility is a trigger for you, avoid this one! I do love how it's all handled in the end, with so much love between the men. And I appreciate the way the author handles their emotions throughout this ordeal.
Again, I can't get enough of Jesse in his monkey form!! His snuggly nature warms my heart. The fact that snuggling Isaac while he's in his monkey form brings him so much peace is beautiful.
I absolutely love the way Jesse's relationship with Aaron has evolved. What a beautiful change. From hating each other, sort of, in book one, to now supporting one another, is just heart warming.
Openly Yours put a smile on my face throughout. Even with the angst, this Colette Davison book just left me happy to have more of these men. I adore everything about this book and this series. After meeting them in the first book, I knew their love was strong enough to get them through anything.

“You had news. Is it about the Arches?”
I grinned, unable to keep it from him.
“They accepted our offer?”
“Yes.”
Jesse bounced up and down in my arms, squealing excitedly. “That’s fantastic!”
“We’ve got to get all the building and land checks done and a survey, so it’s not a done deal yet. But all being well, our youth centre is one step closer to opening.”
Jesse grasped my face and kissed me hard. “It’s exciting, isn’t it?”
“Very.”
His eyes widened. “You should invite your dads to come and stay so we can show them the Arches.”
“I’d been thinking about that.” I carried him over to the sofa and sat down with him on my lap. “Maybe it’s about time we moved out of this flat.”
Jesse tilted his head to the side. “Why?”
“Well, right now, if we want to invite my family down, they have to stay in a hotel.” I paused, measuring my next words carefully. “And at some point, we’re going to have a family, Jesse. There’s not going to be room for children in a one-bedroom flat.” I stroked my thumbs over his lower back. “You wanted a house filled with music and the patter of tiny feet, remember?”
Jesse nodded, but he didn’t speak. His eyes were brimming with tears, and his chin wobbled.
“And I wanted a big bath.”
That made him laugh. “We need a huge bath.”
I stared into his dark eyes. “I want to find our forever home, Jesse. And I want to get married.”
Jesse frowned. “We can’t, not until—”
I silenced him with a kiss. “We know roughly when your heats will be. We can plan around it. We’re already mated. You know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Now I want to show everyone else that—your family and mine.”
“And the world?” Jesse asked. “Because we’re not gonna get a cosy little wedding.”
I smiled. “The whole world. I’m yours, Jesse, now, always, and openly.”
Jesse gasped. “I’ve got it!”
“Got what?”
“The title of the song I’m going to write for you.”
I raised my eyebrows. “Will you share it with me?”
He smiled mischievously. “Nope. I think I’m gonna keep it a secret.”
I tickled him until I reduced him to a giggling, writhing wreck on my lap. Then I flipped him onto the sofa and lay over him, tickling him more until he was gasping for air.
“Now are you going to tell me?”
He put his hands around my neck as his breathing slowly returned to normal. “‘Openly Yours’.”
I nuzzled his nose with my own. “That’s beautiful.”
“So are you.”
We looked at each other, my heart filling as I saw how much love radiated from his eyes and smile. I kissed him, teasing his mouth with my tongue. “Let’s set a wedding date and start looking at houses.”
Jesse nodded. “Okay.”
