Unexpected Mission: Sweet Surrender (Sub Mission #3) by T.S. McKinney









Blurb

When Landon is offered an assignment to be the bodyguard of a gorgeous young male model, he expects the case to be nothing he wants. He certainly has no interest in following a spoiled, rich young model around Milan, Italy from one catwalk and party to another, and he doubts the threats Jinx has been receiving have any real merit to them. Probably just some teenaged fans stalking their favorite “boy model” and nothing to get worked up about. But when Jinx’s own father says the exact same thing, it makes Landon inexplicably angry and protective over him, because Landon would never allow his own son, Ari, to be threatened by anyone. Only Jinx’s mother and Landon’s agency fear for the young man’s safety, so Landon takes the case despite his qualms and soon realizes Jinx badly needs two things that are up to now missing in his life—a firm hand and some unconditional love—and love not based on how much money he can bring to his family.

Jinx has never met a man like Landon before. The handsome, fearless bodyguard who gives him orders and expects him to do his best to follow them, also awakens a passion in Jinx that no female has ever managed to do before, an undeniable attraction that could match the need that seems to grow stronger every day. But could Jinx actually be falling for another man? Problems between the two abound—Landon is almost twenty years older for one thing, and they come from two vastly different worlds. In order to work it out between them, Jinx has to learn the truth of who’s behind the threats to his life, and discover who his enemies and his allies really are. He has to learn to fight for his happiness even if it means facing a killer.

TS McKinney's Unexpected Mission: Sweet Surrender's an excellent mix of action, danger, and romance. 

Written in dual pov, we get to delve into both Landon and Micah/Jinx's minds., creating good character depth. 

The author entertains us with a look into the nitty gritty world of fashion, as well as the tough aspects of being famous. My heart breaks for Jinx as he was forced into this life and has never been given a choice. He may be a conceited ass, but it's easy to see why. But everything changes when he meets his new bodyguard Landon. 

With Landon, we get to witness the real Micah, without all the armor he wears as Jinx. Not only does Landon break down Micah's walls, he also wants what's best for him. It's a beautiful tale of Micah finding someone who loves him for who he is instead of what he can do for Landon. 

I love these two as a couple. They are a true delight, with fun dialogue and intense chemistry. I enjoyed every second of this fun and sexy romance. Both the age difference and the Daddy kink are exciting and super entertaining. The submission scenes are amazing! And as Micah's never been with a guy before, we get treated to a whole lot of fantastic firsts, which I enjoy a lot. 

Unexpected Mission: Sweet Surrender is fast paced and super sexy. It's a instant attraction romance with some good angst and danger that both makes sense and is alluring. It's also sweet and sexy. I am excited to see what's next in this TS McKinney series.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW - Helix by Anna Martin







Length: 61,000 words approx.


Cover Design: Garrett Leigh @ Black Jazz Design


Publisher: Dreamspinner Press




Blurb


When high school student James has trouble with his truck, Dylan, who is studying to be a mechanic, comes to the rescue. James thinks he hides his immediate attraction well, but is happy to be wrong when Dylan asks for his number. Since James is new to romance, they take things slowly, and because Dylan is in college, James keeps the budding relationship secret from his overprotective dad.

Across town, Mark, a teacher and single father to James and his sister, Frankie, meets Steve at a bar for what both believe will be a quick hookup. Mark doesn’t see any reason to tell his kids about Steve or press Steve for details about Steve’s adopted son…. It’s just sex between them. Isn’t it?

Two very different love stories grow side by side, each hidden from the other. But all of that changes at a family barbecue, when Mark decides it’s time for his kids to meet Steve and for him to meet James’s boyfriend, who none of them realize is Steve’s son, Dylan. The inevitable explosion means the two couples have some explaining to do to soothe the hurt feelings of their families—and lovers.

Helix is a great read by Anna Martin. I fell in love with this one immediately. And damn, just check out that cover!

Two men start dating at the same time their sons start dating? Yes please! I appreciate the way this was written, it's developed well and at a good pace. There's a lot going on and it's all handled in good fashion. 

Everyone has some issues. The dads and both kids. Mark's been raising his teenage twins by himself for most of their lives. Steve's been alone since he adopted Dylan 6 years ago, focusing solely on Dylan's welfare. Steve adopting a teenager melted my heart. I love what he asked for when he wanted to adopt. He's impressive with his compassion and willingness to help. Dylan's past isn't an easy read, leaving him with some mental scars. James is still confused by his sexuality, and meeting Dylan moves things forward. 

I adored every second of the romance between the two middle aged men. That is always a favorite of mine. The exhibitionism is Hot! In general, the chemistry between them is amazing, but the desire for public sex is even hotter.

As for the heat level of this one, damn, just damn! James and Dylan have some hot moments, but holy moly, Mark and Steve are downright smoking together. Seriously hot!


As with any Anna Martin book I've read, I'm impressed with the story, in both it's writing and it's uniqueness. Anna is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine. Anytime I pick up one of Anna's books, I am left riveted and so damn thankful for having read it.

Helix involves a long estranged mother, ex abuse, foster care, and more. It's complicated as the two dads are dating while their sons are dating. The story is one of second chances, both at romance, and in life.
