A sexually repressed man with a longing to let go and an ex-priest with a lust for decadence get snowed in together. Will it matter that they hate each other?

Josiah lives his life in control. Always in control. When he meets a handsome Australian who brings out all the secret urges he’s been suppressing, he does his best to push him away. It doesn’t matter that they had one scorching hot encounter in the past. He keeps telling himself it will never happen again. Or will it?

Sebastian thought his calling was to serve, but he was so wrong. He left the church and is finding a newfound belief in himself, including his sexual wants and needs. He sees Josiah as a challenge at first, someone to conquer. However, after their first encounter, he wants more with this beautiful man who’s living only half a life. He’s attracted to everything Josiah is and can be, and wants to pursue something real with him. But it doesn’t seem like it’ll ever happen. Or will it?

One road trip, an unexpected snowstorm, and a cabin in the woods may give these two the chance to break down their walls, and come clean about what they really want. Josiah and Sebastian can help each other find what what they’ve been looking for, if they finally give in and take the chance mother nature is giving them. But will they?

Author Note: This story contains a happy for now (HFN) ending for Josiah and Sebastian. While they don't get to their happily ever after (HEA), never fear. They'll be showing back up in my next book, Defrosting Daddy, and will also get another novella soon to continue their journey to forever.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Abigail Kade's Snow Way in Hell is a great addition to the multi-author Snowed In - Valentine's Inc series. 

Josiah and Sebastian are two men you'd never expect to find together. One's an ex priest, the other secretly loves orgies. But they work so darn well together.

Their story includes some hot voyeurism and exhibitionism, including fun at a BSDM club and glory holes. 

I really came to love both men as their backstories are revealed. These are two complex men, who end up helping one another and connecting in a stunning way. 


Damn, Snow Way in Hell is hot, sexy, and touching. I loved it all!

What happens when you find out the one person who always rubs you the wrong way can rub you the right way even better?
Taylor loathes boats and the water, but he accepts an invitation for a short cruise with his latest fling because the dick is good and he has the vacation time. How bad could it be? When he’s stood up and stranded without a cabin by the dick, he can’t believe who comes to his rescue. How in the hell is he supposed to survive four days in the same room with his secret wet dream armed with only a suitcase full of lingerie? He’ll need every last bit of self-control to survive without climbing and claiming mount Bart all for himself.
Bart’s brother won a cruise and convinced Bart to go. At the very last minute, his brother backs out and he winds up with a huge king suite all to himself. After the ship sails, he sees his favorite sexy designer desperately trying to find a place to stay on the sold-out cruise. Thrilled to come to the rescue, he offers to share his cabin since there’s plenty of room. It’s just the chance he’s been looking for to get Taylor to slow down and see what’s in front of him. Even if Taylor pretends to be immune to his charms, Bart’s a man with a plan and four days to make it happen.
Between Taylor’s suitcase of sexy fun, Bart’s surprising romantic side, and an unexpected Tropical Storm, these men will realize that being up the creek without a paddle is sometimes exactly where you’re meant to be.
Author Note: This book is a stand-alone which follows two characters who were first introduced in the Just the Way You Are series of books. It is not necessary to have read those books to enjoy this one. However, if you’re curious about their world, there’s more to explore!

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Damn, Abigail Kade's contribution to Valentine's Inc Cruises, Up Ship Creek, is fantastic!


Taylor and Bart are two men who end up as roommates on their cruise. From the start they have great dynamics, but the lingerie just adds so much heat to their relationship.

Taylor has long liked Bart, the man he now discovers can fulfill all his sexual desires. Damn, they are hot together! It's a friend who packs nothing but lingerie in Taylor's bag. What follows is some fun role play together, and more.

I love it. All of it. It's extremely entertaining and intriguing. It's full of hilarious  innuendos and dirty talk, which is something I always enjoy. 

Overall, Up Ship Creek is a deliciously hot read. Read it. Just read it. Abigail Kade definitely doesn't disappoint with this treat.

Until I Met You (Just the Way You Are Book 2) by Abigail Kade

James- “Until I met you, I never knew how lonely I really was.”

James Eldridge has lived his entire life taking care of others, like his free spirit of a
brother and later his teenage nephews. For James, his needs have always come last for the good and safety of his family. When forty comes knocking and he meets a bright, glittering ray of sunshine named Ethan, he finally realizes just how alone he’s been. But old habits die hard, and James places himself firmly in the role of protector once again. Love just wasn’t his to have. Never again would he put someone he cared for at risk for his own desires, no matter how much he truly wanted to hold on and never let go.

Ethan- ”Until I met you, I never knew what I needed to finally feel whole again”

From an early age, life taught Ethan O’Leary some hard lessons. Parents weren’t permanent. Death could come suddenly and without warning. And love wasn’t ever going to work out for him. At sixteen, his best friend’s family took him in after his beloved Gran passed suddenly. But as much as he loved them, it was never home. Now, at twenty-seven, Ethan lives his life out loud, bright as a peacock and just as showy. He’s made peace with the hole in his heart. Then, straight-laced, over-cautious James walks into his life and a different future beckons him. But James fights the idea of a happily-ever-after between them, so Ethan must decide between fighting for their happiness or just letting go.

Fortunately, Ethan’s not alone in his battle to win James’s heart. With the help of a dating app, the Eldridge boys, the McDaniel Clan and a few surprises, it might just be possible for these two polar opposites to finally meet in the middle. If only James would just quit being an idiot.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

First of all, let's all just take a moment to appreciate the cover for Abigail Kade's Until I Met You. Cause, seriously, just swoon. And, luckily for all of us readers, the story is just as swoon-worthy.

I feel for Ethan immediately. He's just so damn loveable and his story is fantastic. A beautiful femme man who wears skirts, fishnets, heels, and makeup? Oh hell yes! And his personality is just as grand.

And James, damn, he's such an amazing, supportive, and caring man. James is that character who's sacrificed all his personal happiness for others. He's spent the past four years raising his nephews, and not living for himself. 

There's a whole lot of angst and heavy undertones to this story. Ethan's on the run from trouble, with James there to help him. A natural caregiver, James is the perfect man to step up and protect Ethan. As for James, the backstory of him and his nephews is raw and heart-breaking. I love the way it's developed and executed. 

As for Ethan and James, let's just say they make for a great couple. I love the differences in them, not just with their looks, but also their ages and personalities. And my personal favorite is their fun banter. 

At it's heart, this is a beautiful story of love and acceptance. In James, Ethan's found someone who he can be himself with, with no worries or apologies. James loves Ethan as he is. And James has found a man who is worth taking a chance on. 

Both men have issues to work through, and it's a worthwhile journey for the readers. One of the most touching aspects of the story however, is James' scars. As a man who struggles with his scars, James has found a gift in Ethan, who treats his scars so tenderly, accepting the man as he is.

That said, Until I Met You is a beautiful story of two men who are unique on the outside finding love and acceptance in one another. It's sweet, tender, and inspiring that they both find someone who appreciates them as they are.

I love Abigail Kade's Just The Way You Are series and look forward to the next book. And don't miss out on the first book, Until The Stars Fall, which is also spectacular.

Until the Stars Falls by Abigail Kade

Amazon


This is Abigail Kade's debut novel.

It was a beautiful surprise.  It was wonderfully written, with well developed characters who you can't help routing fall and falling in love with.

One never knows if wishes upon stars will come true. Ladd and Connor both have been lonely and wish on a star for someone to love. It is written so well though, not is a cheesy way at all.
They meet when they work together. Ladd is an architect who is hired by Connor, who is renovating an historic building. Both are written so well and the romance that blossoms is beautiful.

This book includes -
Survival of a horrible childhood.
A stalker who is out for vengeance.
Some great family members.
Some hot sex!
And a set up for another book.  Yeah! 
I can't wait to read it!
