“Pearson’s a common name.”

“It can’t be him.”

“God wouldn’t be that cruel.”

A painful history

Walking into the job interview confirms Ben White’s worst fears. It’s been eight years since high school, yet he can still recall Wade Pearson’s taunts.

There’s always a chance Wade isn’t the same homophobic asshole Ben knew. Yeah right.

Except the boy Ben remembers has grown into one seriously hot, brooding man. In another life, Ben would have climbed him like a tree. Wade’s gaze still makes Ben shiver – although now for entirely different reasons.

A secret longing

As soon as Wade read Ben’s application, he knew he had to see him. Ben’s still as gorgeous as Wade remembers. It’s obvious he doesn’t expect to get the job, given their history.

But Wade has an agenda. He has to make it up to Ben for treating him so badly – not that Ben will ever know why he acted like he did. Seeing him every day only heightens Wade’s regret. If he’d had more courage back then, maybe he and Ben could have been something.

The least he can do is show Ben he’s changed.

There’s no way Wade can get what he really wants – Ben’s heart.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Ben's Boss is a wonderful romance by KC Wells. The second book in the Maine Men series, it has all the charm and heart of the first book, Finn's Fantasy.

I love everything about this book and series so far. 

Ben meets up with his former bully, Wade, when he applies for a job in Wade's company. 

It's a fantastic story of forgiveness and redemption. A wonderful tale of second chances and the fact that people change. 

This is a beautiful tale of friendship and love. And in a wonderful twist, it's Wade that needs Ben's love to help him heal. 

If you love men who can forgive their former bully, look no further. I'll admit that as a reader, it isn't always easy to believe this can happen. This book does a damn good job making the reader believe in this couple. 

The writing is great, with small town charm and plenty of delightful secondary characters. The men are complex and their storyline is intriguing. There's plenty of humor and one liners to keep one laughing as well. 

Ben's Boss is a heart warming romance. This KC Wells book is a great combo of sweetness, heart, humor, and heat. 

Finn's Fantasy (Maine Men #1) by K.C. Wells

A secret desire

By day, Finn builds houses on the coastline of Maine. Afterhours, Finn dreams of the hot older guy who walks his chocolate lab on Goose Rocks Beach. The man of his dreams ticks all his boxes. Salt and pepper hair. Strong jawline. Blue eyes.
His dream man is perfect fantasy material. As for actually speaking to him?
As if. Their paths won’t ever cross, and the guy is probably straight.

A new chapter

Recently divorced Joel is finally living as a gay man, but he’s not sure he’s ready to jump into a relationship. That doesn’t stop him from noticing his new contractor’s muscular build, hewn from hard, physical work, or his storm-colored eyes. Or the way he wears his tool belt slung low on his hips. The icing on the cake? There’s more to Finn than good looks. Maybe he’s the perfect guy to share long walks on the beach and warm nights in front of a fire.

But it’s been twenty years since Joel was with a man. While he’s not forgotten how to flirt, he’s nervous about making a move.

Especially with Finn.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Finn's Fantasy is a fabulous romance by KC Wells. I seriously love it all. The first book in the Maine Men series, this looks to be a fabulous series.

It's compelling from the start, with a great group of friends and plenty of banter. Damn, I can't wait to see more of them all in the future. I always enjoy a fun group of friends.

The setting is wonderful, as Wells, Maine is a beautiful beach town. Even if you haven't been there, you'll fall in love with this small town. 

Finn and Joel's romance is wonderful. Joel's newly divorced, and ready to explore his gay side. With Finn there's instant attraction and some hot first times. I adore the way the men become friends, and how perfect they are for each other. 

There are new starts for Joel in his life, career, and love life. His journey towards coming out includes the terrifying task of coming out to his kids. His son is angry at him, blaming him for the divorce. But he also doesn't know the truth. This is all wonderfully done.

One of my favorite aspects of this story is the way Joel and his ex get along so well. They are best friends and she's extremely understanding and supportive of him. 

Finn's Fantasy is a fabulous book. I love this KC Wells story. From start to finish, I couldn't put it down. I can't recommend it enough. I can't wait to see what comes next for the Maine Men!
