Just because he’s scatterbrained and distracted doesn’t mean he needs a keeper…right?

Dakota is creative, passionate, and just a little too focused on his work. It’s helped him grow a single book into an impressive series and career, but it’s not helping his personal life. At this point, he barely has a personal life and even his friends are starting to get concerned.

Tristan’s had a thing for Dakota before he ever met the sexy, somewhat reclusive writer, and it only takes one chance meeting to feel the connection between them. That’s also all it takes to see that Dakota doesn’t just need an assistant, he needs a keeper. Luckily, that’s a role Tristan was born to play.

When a distracted, artistic sub meets a Dom with a thing for organization and role-playing, a beautiful masterpiece of a relationship can’t be far behind.

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Dakota is the fifth book in the Romance and Revolutions series. This Shaw Montgomery read is another fantastic BDSM romance.

This time around we get the story of Dakota and Tristan. Dakota's a famous erotica author and Tristan's his new PA. Tristan's an Alpha who Dakota instantly bows to. Apparently when the right Alpha comes along...  And the heat between the two is HOT! 

Damn. Dakota and his new PA Tristan are sizzling together. Tristan naturally fills the role of his Dom and in a delightful game of exploration, they act out sex scenes from Dakota's books. 

Their story involves a kink club, spankings, rewards, and pony fantasy. There are drunk omegas and slave play. Good god, the drunk omegas scene had me laughing hysterically. 

The writing is fabulous, with some delightful characters and a compelling storyline. The emotions are ever present, as well as the heat. As usual, there are plenty of secondary characters who add to the entertainment, most notably Wade, whose pain and grief is devastating.

If you enjoy BDSM romances, Dakota is a must read. Shaw Montgomery definitely delivers in this charming read. It is a wonderful addition to the Romance & Revolutions series.

BLURB

Dare loves challenging convention.As a Dom who looks more like a twink, Dare doesn’t mind second glances and getting people’s attention. Since he’s an exhibitionist and not shy at all, most of the time, he likes it. But when two hunky jocks spend their evening at a local club staring at him, with no intention of actually talking to him, he knows he might have found exactly who he’s looking for.

Scott and Ryan aren’t sure if they’re ready to challenge convention.

Carrying secrets is getting to be harder than Ryan and Scott ever imagined it would be, which is why they were almost ready to confess the things they’d worked so hard to keep private for years—especially from each other. But when Dare comes along and makes it clear he knows exactly what the sexy, muscular best friends are hiding, they have to decide if it’s worth coming out again for—because sometimes, it’s not just sexuality that gets hidden in a closet.
When one dominant almost-twink lands in the laps of two sexy, not-so-submissive-looking hunks, they each have to decide if they’re ready to take the next step and admit what they desperately want.


Author’s Note: This is the first book in The Weight of a Word series. Each book in the series will follow Dare, Ryan, and Scott as they explore their new relationship. Every book will have a HFN ending and will not end in cliffhangers. I have no idea how long the series will be. Have fun with my sweet guys.

REVIEW

My Rating - 5  Stars!

Us is the first book in Shaw Montgomery's The Weight Of A Word Series. It is classic Shaw, and is sure to entertain.  

Scott and Ryan have long been best friends, but when Dare enters their life, everything changes. The way their relationship evolves is fun, as they decide to all date each other, with a memorable first date.

Have I mentioned I love a good menage? No, well, I do. Love them!

I find Dare's confidence in the situation to be quick, but also perfect for the situation. It's definitely fun to explore a twink being dominant. As well, it's exciting to see a big strong guy as a submissive. Honestly, Scott and Ryan are so niave and awkward, making them so darn adorable!

Dare's relationship with his mother is awesome, resulting in some great humor. They are so open with each other that it's staggering, and funny! 

As for Dare, wow, love him. He is fascinating in his ability to be so upfront about what he wants. And he's exquisite in way the helps Scott and Ryan open up about their needs. 

This story contains some great steamy scenes, some BDSM scenes, and the  enjoyable beginnings of a potentially amazing relationship. The exploration and self-discovery of the men is well done, with all the hesitancy and pleasure.

Shaw Montgomery is well known for this nitch in the M/M romance world, and Us is a wonderful start of what hopes to be a marvelous series.   

Shaw Montgomery

Shaw Montgomery loves reading, traveling, and family. While not necessarily in that order, they all rank pretty close. Shaw has lived all over the United States and even Germany. While the coast of North Carolina is a favorite place Shaw currently lives in the Western United States. Current wish list places to travel to are Australia, Italy, and Scotland.

When Shaw wants to write about things that are a little more taboo (or sometimes a lot more taboo), Shaw writes under the name M.A. Innes. If you like M/m content that is sweet and naughty check out Shaw's other books.

Shaw reads an eclectic mix of genres; everything from Mystery and Sci-Fi Space Westerns, to traditional Romance and all kinds of Erotica. Currently the stories in Shaw's head are femdom romance but there are some M/M and Sci-Fi/Fantasy that can't wait to come out as well.
