BARRETT:

I'm straight, single, and divorced. Two of those might change.

Being accidentally kidnapped could be worse. I get a trip to the Hamptons, a seat at a luxury wedding, and a week with the hottest man I’ve ever laid eyes on. Maybe I ought to fly private more often.

Zach’s no snobby millionaire, though. He’s got a good heart, and a body that makes it hard to see straight anymore. At this rate, it won’t be long before we’re tearing into each other like it’s our own honeymoon.

He’s a groomsman for his brother, but he needs some support of his own—the kind he can only get behind closed doors. He comes from money, and his family wants things to be perfect. But we don’t have time for perfection, and if we can’t bring this family together, Groomzilla might call the whole thing off.

The bouquet’s in the air, but I’m reaching for Zach.

ZACH:

Who hasn’t accidentally kidnapped a date every now and then?

My brother’s getting married in the Hamptons, and I need a plus-one. But I didn’t expect it to be a stranger who unintentionally boarded the plane. I’m sharing a flight with Barrett, but it feels a lot like a first date. He’s agreed to be my companion, and that means a week of chaotic pre-wedding events.

A straight, divorced EMT isn’t the kind of date my family is expecting, but then, I wasn’t expecting him to start sizing me up for more than just a wedding tux. Not only is he charming my relatives, he’s also making me think about jumping for the bouquet.

My family of wealthy hoteliers can be a handful. Barrett’s from a different world, but I’m hoping they’ll accept him—if this week doesn’t kill us first.

This wedding needs Barrett, and he’s the best man for the job.

Note to readers: This is an extra spicy standalone MM romance. Readers can expect two passionate men and several steamy scenes that will leave you breathless.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Destination Wedding, by Jason Collins is a fun fake boyfriend romance. It has a lot of things I enjoy in addition to the fake boyfriend trope; accidental meeting, wedding antics, entertaining family members, a groomzilla, and more.

I enjoyed this one a lot. The situation of their meeting and arrangement is funny and unique. The attraction is instant and they are quick to act on it. They are two men who are very different from their appearances, providing us with some wonderful, heartfelt moments. 

Off to the Hamptons for a family wedding, the area is well described, adding to the fun. Zach and Barrett are men from completely opposite worlds. Watching Barrett's introduction to the land of the elite is certainly entertaining. One thing that stood out to me is Barrett's ability to relate to Zach and others on a human level, despite their extreme differences. Basically, I love Barrett. 

The wedding adventures had me laughing, despite the emotion of it. It definitely just kept people on their toes. But, the real humor comes from the easy way Zach and Barrett make up stories together. They are seamless with their improvisation; it's impressive and hysterical. 

Destination Wedding it a beautiful tale of acceptance. Accidentally placed together, it seems that fate took over and sent them on their way. Honestly, this is a perfect feel-good romance.

CONNOR:We’re snowed in together, and he demands submission.

I manage models, so I spend all day surrounded by beautiful people. But when a sudden blizzard snows us into a luxury lodge before a photoshoot, I’m no longer in control. Our beast of a pilot takes charge of the situation—and of me. He knows what he’s doing, and what he wants.

Grayson looks strong enough to bench press these models. And when I push his buttons, he pushes me straight into bed. But we have a real problem: if this photoshoot is ruined, the trip will be a bust, and my career will be in jeopardy. Grayson has the iron will and steel grip to keep the crew together, but the clock is ticking.

And the ropes around my wrists are getting tighter.

GRAYSON:

We may be snowed in, but things are just starting to heat up.

I fly a bunch of models up to Denali for a shoot, and one little blizzard has them rattled. They’re out of their element, but their manager is trying to play it cool. He’s vulnerable. But even with all the models in the room, I can’t tear my eyes off him.

So maybe I’ll tear his clothes off instead and teach him what it means to be managed.

I’ll dial up the pressure until he begs me to stop. I’ll let him manage his models, but by night fall, I’m the one in charge. And the winter brings some long, hard nights. Alaskan blizzards are harsh, and if Connor wants this to go well, he needs to give up control.

Or I might just take it.

This is the third book in the Submission series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone with no cliffhanger. Readers can expect an extra spicy MM romance with several steamy scenes that will leave you gasping.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Jason Collins' Defiance is the third book in the Submission series and it's absolutely compelling. 

Connor and Grayson meet during a photo shoot that goes wrong, as a snow storm changes everything. One's a pilot who's big and burly, the other's an agent for the models. These two have no business being attracted to each other, let alone ending up together. 

One of the best parts of their relationship is the fact that among all the hot models, these two men choose each other. It's refreshing that they are drawn to each other, instead of one of the models. 

As for the best part of their relationship, well that has to be their D/s relationship. The reason for them to fall into these sexual roles is perfectly explained, and adds tremendously to their story. Not only are their sexual encounters steamy and hot, they are also emotional and cathartic. 

As for outside of the bedroom, their relationship is amazingly equal, as both men help one another, and contribute to the shoot's success. They compliment one another perfectly and are splendidly dynamic together.

The setting in Alaska is wonderful. It's described well and definitely becomes a character of its' own. The snow, the scenery, the lodge, all of it plays an important role. 

Defiance is definitely my favorite of this Jason Collins Submission series. Between Alaska, great men, and some scorching sex scenes, it's a lot of fun.

Obedience (Submission, #1) by Jason Collins

ELLIOT:

Romance is one thing – obedience is another.

After almost crashing my vehicle in the remote Alaskan wilderness, I wake up in the muscled arms of one of the locals. He’s a rugged pilot whose job is to equip my research station with supplies, but I get the feeling he’s got more than work on his mind.

His intense gaze is focused on me. Being stranded in the middle of nowhere with a sexy pilot feels like a fantasy. Except it’s very real, and when his plane breaks down and traps him with me, I have an untamed dominant man’s lust to handle. I’m his, and he knows it. And he demands submission.

We’re trapped together, but not forever. When it’s time for Caleb to fly out, will he take me with him?

A fearsome beast has my heart in his hands, and he’s tightening his grip.

CALEB:

If he wants to survive out here, he’ll do what I say.

I’m divorced, straight, and single, but those labels disappear when I see Elliot. He’s soft and innocent—and I have him all to myself. He’s not a pushover but surviving in Alaska is no easy task. He needs a strong pair of hands to show him the ropes.

Elliot awakens something in me. The desire to dominate him, to bend him to my will and hear him beg for more makes me feel alive. And I love it.

I’m a hardened man with a sturdy body, but as much as I bury it, part of me wants to spoil someone—then have them scream my name all night. Doesn’t matter that Elliot’s a man: he’s the only one I want in my cockpit.

I don’t just want to tie him down. I want him to submit.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Jason Collin's Obedience is a delightful romance that takes place in the Alaskan wilderness.

When Elliot travels to Alaska to work on his grad student research, he meets the handsome pilot, Caleb. As the two spend time together, they fall hard and fast for one another despite Elliot's short term assignment in the area. The two men compliment one another perfectly and their story is sweet, tender, and hot! 

Told in my favorite, alternating 1st person pov, we get to understand both men well.

The Alaskan way of life, isolation, and the dangers of the weather, are all fantastically described. The author excels with his atmospheric telling of this romance, allowing us to understand the Alaska elements and way of life.

I enjoy Caleb's desire to dominate Elliot, and even better is his possessiveness. My favorite thing about them though is the way Caleb makes Elliot feel safe and brave.

Obedience is another great read by Jason Collins.

JESSE

Romance is a part I’ve been playing for years, but love is a new role.

After an awkward interview leaves me self-conscious about my weight, I need some time away from the celebrity spotlight. I’ve always played the heartbreaker on screen, but I want to be as happy with my body as my fans are.

Winchester is the perfect place for some soul-searching—and waist-trimming. But I need security to keep the paparazzi off my back, and Marshall’s a perfect fit. As long as I can keep my eyes off my straight bodyguard and the buttered biscuits, I’ll be fine.

But when he makes the first move, those labels get fuzzy. Marshall is a stoic man who’s hard to read, but there’s no mistaking his rough, warm touch as we fog the windows of the cozy lake house. Turns out, he’s a perfect fit in more ways than one.

My bodyguard is more than meets the eyes—lucky he’s the one thing I can feast them on.

MARSHALL

He’s under my protection, and I’m not letting this star out of my gaze.

Babysit a spoiled Hollywood actor, chase off some paparazzi, live in a lake house—it should all be easy, and I could use the extra money. I’m not usually aggressive, but people call me a “big tank” for a reason: they know I’m not a pushover, so they don’t try me. And when I need to release some tension, I keep my thoughts strictly off my clients.

Until Jesse.

I can’t tear my eyes off him. He might steal hearts on stage, but he doesn’t need a TV show to steal mine. It’s the first time I’ve ever looked at a man this way, and I want to tempt him into something unprofessional.

Leaving my past behind won’t be easy, but Jesse’s making it hard to look back.

This actor’s so captivating, I can’t think straight.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Jason Collins is one of the authors I can count on for an enjoyable book. The Bodyguard is the third book in his Worth The Weight series, and I love it.

Jesse's a Hollywood actor who hires Marshall to be his bodyguard. The sexual tension and heat between the two is high. 

Jesse and Marshall certainly make no sense together, but they are a fantastic couple. Marshall's desire for Jesse is intense and all consuming. His dominate attitude in the bedroom is sexy and hot.

It's beautiful the way that Jesse helps Marshall to go outside his comfort zone. In turn, Marshall inspires Jesse to his the best version of himself in all the important ways. 

I absolutely adore Marshall's mom. She's wonderful and it goes to show why Marshall is such an amazing man.

As with the entire Worth The Weight series, the small town is a perfect setting and adds immensely to the tale. Best of all, I love the small town comparison to Hollywood that Jesse experiences. 

In this series, weight is always an issue. In this case, Jesse is trying to watch his weight and get into better shape. He's a victim of the Hollywood attitude and is fully aware of the camera adding 10 pounds. 

The Bodyguard is a fantastic Bodyguard/Celebrity romance, where each find what they never knew they needed. It's super sweet, tender, and romantic. In typical Jason Collins fashion, the characters are interesting and well developed, with a great story to tell and some wonderful personal growth.
