❤️🩷❤️ Love in LA Book 2 ❤️🩷❤️
This book had all the feels, I cried, I laughed and I squealed with joy when Finn and Matteo finally got it all right.
Finn is so cautious and insecure after the way that he grew up. He had a parent that loved him very much but when his dad got sick and then passed, he lost a bit of himself and his purpose in life.
We see this in the way that he hasn't learnt how to cook and clean. And I get it because when things like this happen those things are the last thing on your mind.
In this story, this is where Matteo comes in and he helps Finn realise that it is okay to ask for help and that most of us didn't have everything figured out in our mid-20s. So the fact that Finn is a bit lost is okay. ❤️❤️❤️
Matteo is a Daddy Daddy. He wants to take care of his boy and help guide him. The fact that he realises that Finn has to decide for himself if the Daddy/Boy dynamic is for him and also that Matteo doesn't push all too much is wonderful.
The further we get in the book we learn that Finn has steel and strength in himself and in what he wants. And when he finally figures it out it makes for an intense dynamic together with Matteo. I mean the scene in Las Vegas and also the scene with him, Bentley, Matteo and Legend speaks for themselves. IYKYK 🍑🍆💦
I can't wait to sink my teeth into Ramos's story, I have a feeling I will be parched.

Love in LA Book 1
Legend and Bentleys lovestory is a fastpaced one with alot of heart, swoony eyes and spice. This book is sett in the adult entertaiment industry with a dash of k*nk. Servitude, impact- & dom/sub play with Legend being a Daddy and Bentley being his boy.
Bentley is a go getter but he is also oh so shy and insecure in himself and how others see him, both professinaly and s*xually.
Legend is soft but an asertive daddy. He is though hurt from his previous relationship and that haunts him.
The setting of the book makes for some really spicy scenes. But also for many heart to hearts, I am a lover of communication and I adored that Legend gently pushed Bentley to tell him what was wrong or as Bentley would have said - "not fair using the daddy voice".
I like the storyline and the sideplots regarding Ramos, Finn and Matteo, because they are setting up the next 2 book in the series. I would have wished though for abit more "everyday life" building in regards to Bentley and Legend. Becuase I love getting to know the characters that way, but I also understand that you have to move the story forward if you don't want to end up with a 400+ pages long book.
This is my first Mia Monroe book but not my last.

So me being me meant that i read book 2 before book 1 (this one) so i already knew some of what had happend in this book. But that didnt take away anything from this book, it rather made me understand Silas (MC Book 2) and his friends better.
I love the qurikyness of Rowe and his story in trying to get his invention of the ground. Him impersonating Sterling Chase, who he thinks is a real person, is just gold. And all the wonderful one-liners and scenes we get when he is that person is marvelous.
Bash is the opposite, he is straighforward, powerful and he is a secret billionaire. He falls head over heels for Sterling Chases impersonator Rowe, mind you he is in on the game early on. But i don't want to spoil to much of how he knows because then you would loose half the plot.
This was an easy and funny read with alot of spice but also a nice plot that drives the story forward. I have as said already read book 2 about Silas (Marrying Mr Majestic) and now I am waiting on book 3 that will be about Dev and his journey to finding love and peace of mind.

This is a wonderful book with 3 main characters that all carry a burdend that alone could cripple you but toghter they succed and thrive.
Branson lost his father at the age of 17 and since then have he looked fo his place in the universe and for love. That all consuming love that few find.
Noel is the billionair hotel magnet that is tron between the attraction he feels for Branson and later on Milo and his familys wish that he moves back to England after his father got ill.
Milo has been fighting all his life to get away from his fathers hate and even if he has made it away, the scars still lives with him and they make him act out. When all along he wants to embrace the love he feels for Branson and also Noel.
This is an fast attraction, virvel wind of a story. With three men so diffrent but at the same time all the same. The love and attractions is palpebale and the spice is spicy.
I am a sucker for nicknames or endearments in books and this one delivers. Blue or Daddy, Little Artist and Kitten are the perfect way of describing the men of Branson's Promise and everytime one of the names where uterd I smiled.
This book hit so many sweetspots for me and i will be recommending this book.

I don't know where to start. When I got this book in the mail as an ARC, I knew I wasn't in the right headspace to read it so I waited. A week passed until I felt it was the right time and man am I happy I waited. This book is something precious and i didnt want it to end. I would have happily read 500+ pages if this meant that we would get more of Rhys and Angel together.
This book starts out with Rhys and Angel meeting at Rhys dads 60th birthday party. They know of each other because Angel is a friend of Rhys' big brother but they have never been hanging out in the same circles. Rhys is out and proud and he decided at 18 to move away from Staten Island because he felt like he didn’t belong.
In the years since he moved to Brooklyn he has started a camboy/p*rn career and he also pole dances at The Bronzed Rail. Angel has stayed in Staten Island and works in construction but meeting Rhys again wakes Angel up to things that he thought he didn't want or need. Just a little mishap when watching a video together starts this whole story of how Angel goes from Gay for Pay to helplessly in love with Rhys.
The way Angel is the most shy and precious person you can meet, he also exudes this charisma and sexyness that make Rhys drool. And he is not afraid of new things even if it means having s*x with Rhys in front of a camera.
Rhys is just enamored with his teddy bear Angel and it’s a wonder seeing this larger than life person slow down and take care of Angel. And guiding him without pushing him to realize “I may not be as straight as I think I am”.
I love that we get the cameos from the others in The Camboy Network and that we are steadily expanding the storyline so that everyone finds their place. It is not only spice but also heart and a storyline that drives the book/books forward.
But the spice...
WOW, there are some unexpected things and scenes playing out in this book and Angel you sneaky little Teddy Bear you surprised even me.
After finishing the book and sitting on it for a few days I feel like I want to go back in time and read it for the first time again. I think this is so far my favorite book in the Mars Fitness/The Camboy network universe.

I am on a roll when it comes to books ser during Christmas time.
I always enjoy Ashlynn's books and this is no exception.
The Enemies-to-Lovers vibe with a sprinkle of boss/employee, forced proximity and CNC we have this gem of a book.
Gray and Michael is all this and more. We have lace and stockings, we have a fun time with the copying machine and a dom/sub relationship that come natural to them.
If you want an snack of a book with a good plot and just a tiny tiny bit angst, here you go put this one on your TBR.

This book made me cry several times in the first 20% of the book. Mason is a sweetheart that has had a shitty life and that really tugged on my heartstrings. Dillion is the take charge guy who actually knows what to do and do it properly.
Them together is slightly taboo since Mason has been married to Dillons mum for 3 years. But since they haven't seen eachother for about 4 years I didn't take to much stock on that.
I like the reverence Dillon treats Mason with and the fact that Mason doesn't just go along with this like a helpless puppy, even if he is one. This is the first book of Gianni's I read and I enjoyed it and I will read more.
