Infuriating (Elite Protection Services #4) by Onley James



Amazon Link - Available in KU
Goodreads Link




What he fears is love.

JACKSON AVERY has everything in life, except somebody to share it with. But as the owner of one of the largest private security forces in the country, he’s got plenty to keep him busy until he finds ‘the one.’ After spending the last year dealing with the fallout of his best security agents falling for their clients, the last thing Jackson expects is to take one look at feisty camboy, Dayton Daniels, and almost instantly know that he’s it for him.

DAYTON DANIELS has been on his own since he was just fourteen years old. He’s spent his entire life scraping by, doing whatever’s necessary to survive. A severe learning disability has left Day unable to read and forced him to find creative ways to make a living. Camming allows him to earn money while keeping his clients at a distance, and Day has grown used to keeping everybody at a distance...until he witnesses a murder and Jackson Avery walks into his life.

Guarding Day is supposed to be a favor, a simple off the books job until they find out who killed a prominent attorney, but Jackson quickly realizes there is nothing simple about Day. He’s beautiful, smart, surprising, and Jackson is all in merely ten minutes after they meet. But Day, he can’t imagine a man like Jackson wanting to spend his life with somebody like him, and he is determined to do anything to send Jackson running in the opposite direction, no matter how much it hurts.

When Day starts receiving threatening emails, Jackson enlists his team to hunt down the killer. Day doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life living in fear, but every day he’s with Jackson, he falls a little harder, forming cracks in the walls he’s worked so hard to build up around himself. Can Jackson solve a murder and find a way past Day’s defenses to convince him there is such a thing as love at first sight and that everybody deserves a happily ever after, even him?

INFURIATING is the fourth book in the Elite Protection Services Series and contains age-gap, Daddy-kink, voyeurism and lingerie with a HEA and no cliffhangers.

Warning: This book contains brief portrayals of childhood emotional abuse as well as discussions of past child sexual trauma and one scene of on-page physical violence to a main character at the hands of somebody other than the main character.




My Rating - 5 Stars!


Infuriating, the fourth book in the Elite Protection Services, is everything I love about this Onley James' series. 

This story revolves around Day, who witnessed a murder, and Jackson , who's hired to protect him. If you've been following this series, you'll remember that Jackson is the owner of the Protection Agency. And, yes, it's time for him to find love. 

Oh, how I love these men. Day is wonderfully open and unapologetic about who he is. He's a femme cam-boy and he's wonderful at it. His background is maddening however. Having learning disabilities, his whole life has revolved around him being told he's stupid. My hearts breaks for him. 

Day and Jackson are complete opposites who perfectly compliment one another. They fall into a Daddy relationship, as Day can't help but to call Jackson "Daddy," which is exactly what Day needs. They are awesome together, with lots of tension and chemistry that leads to some wonderfully steamy moments. Their relationship includes makeup, stockings, and lace which is all delicious! It includes first times and some serious emotion. 

Their story is one with plenty of danger, mystery, and suspense. This aspect is well developed and executed, leaving the reader with an absolutely gripping adventure. I couldn't put it down. 

I love the writing, as it's smooth and fluid. The author drew me in immediately, keeping me riveted throughout. And oh, the banter. I love the banter. Day's snark is entertaining as can be.

Infuriating is another fan-freakin-tastic addition to this bodyguard series. I love Onley James and I love this series. I seriously can't get enough of these books.

Shattered Pieces (Heathens Ink #4) by K.M. Neuhold







Blurb

“I was sure my heart had withered away years ago, but then you smiled at me, and I felt it beat again.” ~Gage
Years ago, I fell in love with my best friend’s little brother. Then, he took his own life, leaving me shattered and unable to piece my heart back together. I’ve been a zombie for nine long years. Until a crazy, gorgeous man walked into Heathens Ink and injected color back into my world of gray. No matter how hard I try to resist Beck, he just won’t give up on me. I would need steel willpower to withstand his gorgeous long legs in those high heels and his drawer full of lacy lingerie. But is this just a kinky hook up or does it have the possibility for more?

“We’re both broken, but our jagged edges fit together well” ~ Beck
When you’re half of a whole you never contemplate what life would be like without your matching piece. Since my twin sister, Brianna, died last year, nothing I do seems to quiet my soul. I know there has to be some way for me to feel happy and whole again. And, when I look into the pained eyes of the tattoo artist at Heathens Ink, I feel like I have a purpose. I can’t explain it, but I feel like I have to find a way to put him back together.


**Shattered Pieces is the fourth book in the Heathens Ink series, each book in the series CAN be read as a standalone.



Review 
My Rating - 5 Stars!

Shattered Pieces, the fourth book in KM Neuhold's Heathens Ink series is phenomenal! I am so excited to finally get to read Gage's story.

Both Gage and Beck are extremely broken men, after each lost the person that meant the world to them. Gage has been drowning since losing his boyfriend, Johnny, nine years ago. He's a lost soul, full of guilt and grief. Meanwhile, Beck lost his twin sister a year ago and is struggling to move forward.

If these men aren't already absolutely endearing, I love them even more for their characteristics. Gabe is a tattoo artist with pink hair, and Beck is a sassy femme man who loves to wear heels, make-up, lace and stockings. Unfortunately, most of the time he's stuck dressing professionally for his job as a lawyer. Love them!

How can you not love a man who bedazzles?

I love the relationship that forms between these two men, and they way they help each other. Beck struggles with the vast difference between his job and his dreams. It's extra special the way that Gabe and Beck are able to inspire each other and bring each other back to the land of the living. 

Of course, KM Neuhold infuses so much extra emotion into this story, as she is fantastic with her ability to write a story. The characters are well developed, with a whole lot of understanding and heart. Her tales are heartfelt, sexy and full of meaning. And, I love that she writes in alternating first person!

If you haven't read the Heathens Ink series yet, do yourself a favor and start now!

The most beautiful things happen when you least expect them.

However Nicholas Goring is no ordinary tourist, his search is far from straightforward, and it’s starting to look as if the butterflies don’t want to be found. As Dave teaches Nicholas everything he needs to survive in the Outback he discovers that he too has quite a bit to learn – and that very often the best way to locate something really important is just not to want to find it…



REVIEW
My Rating - 4 Stars!


Butterfly Hunter is the first book in Julie Bozza's Butterfly Hunter series.

As Dave starts his new assignment of being a bush guide for Nicholas, he never expects it to lead to more. Dave has always kept a no fraternization policy with his clients. Oh, and he's also straight, or at least always thought he was.

As they go on their journey together, Dave starts to realize he might not be immune to Nicholas's charms. In the end, they only have a short time together and if they want more, communication will be key.

Their journey is atmospheric, sweet and enchanting. It is written with a whole lot of heart and nurturing. I am happy to have discovered Butterfly Hunter and can't wait to see what happens next in this series by Julie Bozza.

Excerpt from Butterfly Hunter

They were silent while Dave led his client out to the car park, paid off his ticket, found the car and put the bags in the boot, insisting in a mutter that he didn’t need Goring’s assistance.

It wasn’t until they were heading into the city on Kingsford Smith Drive that Dave finally spoke. “I’ll take you to the hotel. I booked it with an early check–in. I’m sure you’ll be glad of a shower and change of clothes.” When he risked a glance at the man, Dave was disconcerted to find that Goring’s smile once again had a wicked kick to it. “Um,” said Dave, “sir…”

“I always had a thing for chauffeurs,” the man confided.

“Huh.” Dave frowned, and stared very hard at the road ahead, though he wasn’t entirely sure how much he was actually seeing. “Well. What do you do when they don’t have a thing for you?”

Goring chuckled, sounding genuinely amused. “Ah, come on. Seize the day!”

“Mate, life’s not thatshort.”

The chuckle turned into a laugh – and Dave liked that. Still, he was relieved when Goring said, “All right, I’ll stop. Don’t mind me. I hardly got a wink of sleep on that damned plane.”

“You weren’t exactly travelling cattle class. Were you?”

“No, but …” Goring looked away, biting at his lower lip. He was a tall, scrawny man, and his lips were the plumpest thing about him. They were a dash of pink on his pale face. They were almost pretty. “Too much on my mind, I suppose.”

Dave let a beat go by, and then headed for safer ground. “Common wisdom is to stay awake for as long as you can today, and try not to sleep until tonight. Get into the new time zone as soon as you can.”

“Yes, so I’ve heard.”

“And I find that people like to start with a good breakfast, to keep their energy levels up. The hotel – you’re at the Hilton – is known for their breakfasts.”

“I see.”

“It’s up to you, but I’ll keep you company, if you like. For as much of the day as suits.”

“Starting with breakfast … ?”

“If you like,” Dave repeated. “And later, if you have people here, I can drop you off wherever. Just tell me what you want to do and then, you know, feel free to change your plans if you can’t stay awake any longer or whatever.”

Goring was staring at him. “I understand.” After a moment, he added, “I don’t know why I was expecting laconic rather than loquacious.”

Dave glanced at him. “Dunno if I’m your typical Aussie, mate.”

Another laugh, though wry this time rather than genuine. Then Goring asked, “Will Mr Taylor be able to join us for breakfast?”

“What?” Dave grimaced as he turned right onto Albert Street. They were almost there. “No, I’m – I’mDave Taylor.”

“Oh.”

“I guess I didn’t – No, I didn’t introduce myself. The meeting at the airport didn’t, uh –”

“Didn’t quite go as planned,” Goring smoothly supplied.

“No. My fault. Look, we’re here,” Dave said. “I’ll drop you off, and you can check in while I park.”

“No need. I’ll stay with you.”

Dave glanced at him, and thought that Goring wasn’t merely being polite. In any case, he needed to decide right away, as he was already approaching the car park. He nodded, and flipped on the indicator. So be it. Almost nothing this morning had gone as intended, so why not this as well?

They were silent again as Dave collected a ticket, and then quickly chose an empty space on the ground floor – it was still too early to be busy. Once he’d parked, they both got out, and met around the back of the car. Dave looked the man in the eye, and held his hand out. “Good morning, uh, sir. I’m Dave Taylor.”

Goring shook his hand with a cool firmness before disengaging. “I’m pleased to meet you, Mr Taylor. Call me Nicholas.”

“Dave.”

“David,” said Nicholas.

Dave grinned, and turned to open the boot, started lifting the three bags out. “All right, but no one calls me that. It’s Dave or – well, my friends call me Davey.”

“Would you join me for breakfast, David?”

“Sure. Thanks,” he added, quite genuinely. “We can talk over your trip. I’ve brought maps and such.”

“Good. Here, let me –”

But Dave only handed over the cabin–sized bag, and insisted on wheeling the larger cases. “I’ve got it,” he said. He attempted the three syllables as they emerged into sunlight: “Nicholas.” He wondered how long it would be before he was allowed to go with Nick or Nicky.

“Thank you.” The man’s smile was a little gentler by now.

Of course it had all gone horribly wrong so far, and God only knew what that meant for the rest of the trip, but it seemed that at least Dave had been forgiven for his part of the shambles. He nodded, both accepting and returning the thanks. Nicholas seemed to understand. As they walked shoulder to shoulder into the hotel, Dave dared to think the next three months mightn’t be a complete disaster.


OTHER BOOKS IN THE TRILOGY ARE ALSO AVAILABLE NOW

Of Dreams and Ceremonies 





Blurb


It seemed like a great idea at the time... Aussie Dave Taylor has followed Nicholas Goring to England, and the lovers have become engaged. But now Dave has to cope with living in a mansion full of family and servants, making wedding plans, getting his head around visa applications, and wondering why on earth he’d ever want to wear a ‘mourning suit’. He’s not sure if it will prove any easier, but right now Dave would love to just skip ahead to the honeymoon...



REVIEW
My Rating  -  5 Stars!


Of Dreams and Ceremonies, the second book in the Butterfly Hunter series by Julie Bozza, picks up with Dave and Nicholas now engaged and in England.

Dave is overwhelmed, in this huge mansion with Nicholas's family. He is confused, feels out of place, and is getting frustrated.

We are witness to the continuation of a beautiful love story between Dave and Nicholas, as they traverse their new lives. The story is simple, sweet and charming. They have to deal with visa issues, health issues, a wedding, and some silk!!!

I adore Of Dreams and Ceremonies and have fallen even more in love with this charming couple. I am excited to see what Julie Bozza has in store for the third book.

Love Me Louder by Christina Lee





Amazon Link
Goodreads Link


Blurb


Noah Dixon is damaged goods. After an accident leaves him physically scarred and emotionally vulnerable, dating isn’t in the cards, so he throws himself head-first into his retail job. When he’s obligated to attend his best friend’s engagement party on Fire Island, it dawns on him he’s about to spend yet another weekend feeling totally invisible and alone among a swarm of gorgeous men.

That’s when the idea of an escort comes in.

After Will Crossen was forced to put his theater major on hold in favor of two jobs to tackle his ailing mother’s hospital bills, he tells himself becoming an escort isn’t that big of a deal. It’s just another form of acting, right? He doesn’t expect his newest customer to be the cheery, overconfident sales associate he avoids like the plague at his day job. Talk about awkward.

But what happens on Fire Island stays on Fire Island…especially when a smoldering attraction sparks into flames. Will doesn’t feel so alone anymore, and for the first time, Noah realizes someone is seeing him behind all the scars. But between their jobs, Will’s massive familial responsibilities, and Noah’s vulnerabilities, they don’t stand a chance unless they find a way to let love speak louder than their demons.



REVIEW
My Rating - 5 Stars!

Love Me Louder, by Christina Lee is M/M at it's best!

Noah and Will's relationship is absolutely mesmerizing and memorable. 

They begin as a fake relationship, with a lot of misconceptions, and continue to deal with their insecurities, self-doubt, and their inability to love.

Noah is scarred from an accident and spends his life trying to hide, both physically, and mentally. He keeps everyone at a distance, refusing to let them get close to him. And he certainly doesn't have any self confidence that would allow him to risk his heart. 

Will, meanwhile, would appear to have it all, but is struggling to pay his mom's medical bills by working two jobs, one at the home décor store with Noah, and the other as an escort.
 
What starts as a fake relationship/business deal, turns into so much more. Their love is beautiful, real, and deep. Unfortunately, both men are still struggling to let go of their pasts and accept this love.

The title of this book is perfect, as to love someone, you need to love them loud, for it to be seen.

This book does a great job with showing how easy it is to make the wrong assumptions about people. Sometimes, just a few conversations can change the way you view someone.

I adore the physical moments in this romance, as their are precious comfort moments, along with some fun kink involving fishnet stockings!

In all, Love Me Louder, is an amazing story, another winner for Christina Lee.
