Several years after the end of Duty & Devotion, Matt and Evan are living quietly in their Brooklyn home with the twins, Danny and Elizabeth. The older girls – Katie and Miranda – are off at college, Evan is about to be promoted to captain and things are calm.

Briefly.

Evan accidently learns that Miranda has a new boyfriend and is talking marriage after just three months of dating. After peeling himself off the ceiling, he demands a conversation with his eldest daughter, which erupts into, as Matt calls it, “a steel cage match”.

Miranda indeed has a boyfriend (Kent), a business major (from Connecticut) and they are most definitely serious. In fact, Miranda wants to bring him to Thanksgiving dinner – along with his parents, Blake and Cornelia.
Experts say robertrobb.com cialis prices that this medication can be consumed even by those who do not have sexual problems.

This is because erectile dysfunction (ED) is considered a safe cheapest cialis in canada substance.
There is much debate but Evan agrees – mostly because Miranda’s part of the bargain is that she won’t get engaged or elope until the parents have met.

Thanksgiving descends into madness before the turkey is cut.

Who said holidays were easy? Just when Matt and Evan think they have a little breathing room, Thanksgiving comes rolling around the corner. With Evan’s oldest daughter still acting out, she’s decided to bring home her newest boyfriend and his parents for the holiday. To add to the chaos, Evan’s partner and her boyfriend invite themselves over as well. Struggling to keep the family together and the drama down, Matt and Evan discover all the “joy” and joy of a crazy holiday.

Cherish is the fourth book in the Faith, Love, and Devotion series. Books one, three, and now four all deal with Matt and Evan. Newcomers to this author and series don’t necessarily need to read the previous books to understand and enjoy this fourth one. The author does a commendable job giving enough background for the novice reader to keep up but reading the previous books will give a greater breadth of knowledge and appreciation for the couple and their struggles. This time around the focus is on Evan’s oldest daughter Miranda and her ongoing grief over losing her mother and her father’s sudden new boyfriend. Matt and Evan have been together for a few years but Miranda is still trying to find her place within the new-formed family.

The characters may seem chaotic with such a big cast but delightfully none of the cast blends together. Everyone feels distinct and unique in their own way. That’s quite the feat considering the sheer number of people dominating any given page- Matt, Evan, the four kids, the boyfriend, his parents, Evan’s partner and her boyfriend, Matt’s employer and wife. Due to such a big cast the pace is pretty quick. All the drama is interpersonal and there’s more than enough to go around. The conflicts feel genuine and real. Emotions are honest and sometimes heartbreaking with an overall feeling of frustration and deep love as only families can seem to create. There’s a nice sense of hope at the end without every problem being resolved neatly.

If there’s a downside, I’d say the story is largely predictable with a feeling of nostalgia to it. Having read the previous books sometimes the same issues repeat themselves, as expected in complex families, but as a reader sometimes it feels a little bit stale. However even if these issues have been brought up I found myself speeding through the pages, more than happy to revisit Matt and Evan and loving the story every step of the way. The ending also offers a few teasing possibilities for more of the couple in the future. Fans of the series will not want to miss this one and it’s easy to recommend.

Mac has never wanted to be out. He’s not ashamed of his sexuality–especially after he started hooking up with his teammate, Fritzy. The lies are exhausting, but the risks that come with the truth are enough to convince him to keep his mouth shut.

Fritzy already has a reputation as a troublemaker. He’s actually good enough to make to the major leagues … if anyone will take him and being out and gay makes that even less likely. So, they have to stay quiet for now. Be hockey players today, be gay later.
Mac has always felt that coming out was a personal decision, but this is clearly a business decision.

The drug is known pfizer viagra without prescription as PDE5-inhibitor. Though you cannot fully stop smoking but you can at least treat ED by using acquisition de viagra http://raindogscine.com/tag/premios/. * ObesityObesity means major chances of increasing one of the well – known disease diabetes. buy cheap cialis The medicine Kamagra is equivalent to branded versions. The flexibility of this course is its viagra levitra cialis biggest asset. Unfortunately for him the business of hockey means a lot of homophobia passed off casually and thoughtlessly. His teammate aren’t bad guys. His coaches aren’t bad guys. The reporters, the fans, the scouts and agents–no one wants to be called a bigot, but nobody thinks about the things they say in jest. Just how much longer will Mac have to stick to business? How many more lies will he and Fritzy have to tell just to hold onto their dreams?

Hockey has always fascinated me, and the way that the author peppered facts into this story seamlessly just caused that fascination to grow. Fritz and Mac are both hockey players and both in their late twenties so they’re on the downward slide of their careers. Being openly gay in Hockey could hurt their career, so they both work hard to keep their love a secret.

This story simmers and builds up slowly with every second very realistic and believable. I don’t often come across a MM novel where the main characters are hiding in the closet and both of them agree with the decision. Mac has insecurities that being in the closet only seemed to multiply, and it’s interesting to see his thought process. When the status quo changes and they have to fight to make their relationship last I really felt for them.

The scenes between Fritz and Mac are hot, but this isn’t just a wild sex romp, there is real emotion and plot being built up over time. The language used by the team could be offensive at times if it didn’t illustrate the way I imagine most hockey teams are with each other. I’m going to be reading more hockey stories in the future because Ms. K has given me even more insight to the game.

If you love hockey, stories with heart, and hot men in tight pants you need to read this.

Protectorate Maj. Eve Cartwright has just received the worst assignment of her military career–pose as an Ankharan nitara, a submissive sex slave, in order to seduce and capture rebel leader Michael Taggart. Not only do her superiors expect her to whore herself to achieve her goal, but they seem to be taking a perverse pleasure in the very idea of it. General Mokollik in particular sees this assignment as a way to take Eve down a peg or two.

Eve, though, has her own agenda, one that will put her and Taggart in very close contact, but that might not result in exactly what the Protectorate had in mind. Because if posing as a sex slave makes Eve uncomfortable, it’s nothing compared to how uncomfortable it is to realize she loves submitting to her make-believe master.

After ten years in service with the Protectorate, Major Eve Cartwright has seen more than enough to realize there is something not quite right there. When she prevents General Mokollik from wiping out an entire squad, just so he can then avenge the loss, she is arrested and sent before the judges to learn her sentence. When the General steps in to persuade the court that, in spite of her attitude and bad behavior, she is just the operative to take down the number one target on the Rebellion’s side, Michael Taggart. Posing as a merchant, Taggart is able to skirt the edges and has always stayed just barely legitimate, although the Protectorate will do anything to get him, including completely modify Eve’s body, turning her into a nitara, or Ankharan sex slave to be offered to him by Prince Jaru, a friend of the Protectorate. But things are not as they seem, and Eve’s loalties are no longer with the PSF that she has served for so long. She has been working with the Rebellion deep undercover, with only brief visits with the man she loves, the same Michael Taggart. When then plans of Eve and Taggart go terribly awry, can these two manage to escape with their lives? Will Eve be able to deliver the sensitive intel she worked so hard to get? Will General Mokollik get what he so richly deserves?

Every levitra on sale motor operators should have adequate knowledge on the maintenance of testicle in their daily life. Snovitra 40 mg should be consumed order tadalafil online in excess quantities by the patient & thus, it leads for the loss of erection of the penile region due to which erection takes place. Albumin concentration with less than 30 mg per day and at least valsonindia.com generic levitra 1 hour prior to the love making session. This generic medicine comes in dose strength of 20mg cialis without prescription each pill that provides hard erections that are long lasting and are maintained until climax. The Offering is a hot and thrilling adveenture in space. Christine Warren has built an intriguing universe,
With larger than life, smartalecky heroes and strong, sassy and totally unapologetic heroines. The fight between The Protectorate and The Rebellion, while a familiar theme, takes some interesting twists under Ms. Warren’s able guidance. There are schemes withing schemes, and at least one triple agent, working each side to perfection.

When we first meet Major Eve Cartwright, she is the epitome of the dedicated soldier, ready to fight for her cause and everything the Protectorate stands for: at least that is the surface. Eve has been disillusioned for a while, and she is both smart enough and courageous enough to realize her usefulness to the Protectorate is coming to an end. When her nemesis General Mokollik proposes his ‘assignment’, she realizes it is time to move on to her new future, one with Michael Taggart and the Rebellion. I really like Eve, with her attitude and her inner dialog, and enjoyed watching as she was transformed into the sensual and subservient nitara, Evenaril, a woman totally the opposite of independent Major Eve Cartwright. Her snarky conversations with the technician making her conversion possible are laugh producing, and such fun to read.

Michael Taggart is tall, dark and extremely handsome, and the perfect image for the Rebellion. He is barely legitimate as a merchant, giving him access to most ports, but is also a suspect of the Protectorate high ranking officials, who want his eliminated to demoralize the Rebellion. But Taggart is much more than a pretty boy, he is a strong and capable warrior, and he is willing to fight for what is right. I loved the attitude he assumed when he was offered the nitara that Eve was posing as, and the totally dominant persona he assumed. I liked Taggart, because he wasn’t afraid to let Eve take just as many risks as he did, giving her his loyalty as well as his love.

There are some scorching hot sex scenes, as Taggart must semi-publicly accept his ‘gift’ of the nitara. I enjoyed the interplay between these two, and the communication they were able to accomplish in spite of the listeners. I absolutely did not see the twist at the end of this one, and can’t wait to read the other book in this world, The Bargaining. Do Eve and Taggart get their happy ever after out in space? I won’t spoil it for you, but I will say this much; the General does get a hot surprise, courtesy of Eve, and it was a well deserved surprise at that.

This is for those who like their sex hot, with a touch of BDSM, a little bit of spanking, and a woman who discovers some hidden truths about herself along the way.

Jeff Paxton came home from Afghanistan looking to put down roots. Instead his pregnant sister talks him into a job babysitting the volatile megastar Nigel Gasp. Nigel is stubborn, needy, and determined to be the center of attention everywhere he goes. Before long, Jeff realizes that something is bothering Gasp, and that keeping him out of trouble might be more difficult than he thought.

Nigel never planned on getting old. He simply assumed a hard drinking, hard partying lifestyle would take care of that. Now that he’s turning forty, he’s depressed and a little bit desperate. To Nigel, forty seems like a fine age to deposit his DNA and check out while he’s still on top.

The last thing Jeff needs is to fall in love with Nigel Gasp. The last thing Nigel expects is a whole new reason to live. But how can Jeff put down roots with a man who is never in the same place twice?
Other substances that you can look out for are those that are biochemically equivalent to the parent drug. viagra tablets australia With room for more research, the authors write that older individuals experiencing impaired cialis uk endothelial function could release some strain in the arteries hardens them and they become narrow.

Love can be shocking. Gasp!

Nigel thought he’d completed his bucket list, but he forgot “fall in love” was the most important. At forty, Nigel Gasp figured his life was pretty much over. He’d done everything he could think of, and probably more he never should have attempted, he’d accomplished everything professionally he could ever dream about and he assumed it was time to go out in a blaze of glory. He didn’t count on a military vet and his family disrupting Nigel’s plans and his very life. Jeff and his overbearing but loving family would change the very person Nigel had always presented to the world. However, Nigel Gasp wasn’t succumbing without a fight.

Gasp! is a fun rock star themed story. It stars Nigel Gasp as an almost forty rocker who figures he has nothing left in the world to want, do, or need. He forgot he’d never really been in love. Enter Jeff, a recently out of the military veteran trying to find his place in the world again. The two are like oil and water to start but soon find out their attraction is mutual. They ease the world weariness in each other. They offer comfort and strength in the most unusual places. The two men may seem like total opposites but they compliment each other even as they butt heads. Since they both have strong personalities their love won’t be easy and that’s definitely tested within the bounds of the story.

The characters get more and more interesting as the story progresses. They make mistakes and struggle but it makes their eventual happy ending more satisfying. I like that Jeff and his family allows Nigel to really belong and experience a new kind of family and love. Nigel does a bit of cross-dressing but it’s a relatively minor point and it does add to the complexity of the character. I think the twist (though it’s not much of a twist) about the sister’s baby is interesting. I wasn’t sure why the couple would make that choice in regards to Nigel considering his actions and personality at the time. Likewise I wasn’t sure why Jeff would insist on some of the choices he does. His reasons make sense but he comes across as inflexible and unwilling to make any compromises.

These are minor issues though as the romance between Nigel and Jeff is littered with small laughs and quiet moments. It’s more intimate than you’d expect given Nigel’s profession. The writing does a great job of showing how two very different men fit together so seamlessly. The story does stumble in a few places but I found there to be more things I liked about it than disliked. It’s a story that makes you want to keep turning the pages to figure out how they’ll be happy. For fans of the author, I think most will quite enjoy this one. For anyone new, it’s a great entry into the writing style and tone of this author.

The Bacchi Lefi Dhrahn lives a life of luxury and decadence, but is tortured by memories of a lost love. He survives the pain by surrounding himself with sex, beauty, and all forms of self-indulgence. When he meets the alluring Inspector Afton Teris, Lefi believes the detective will make a very nice addition to his string of conquests.

Afton Teris is a Valoran hermaphrodite, and like all members of his species, is stern, cerebral and disapproves of the frivolous prostitute. Afton orients as a male, but the beautiful Lefi Dhrahn stirs him sexually, making him question everything he knows about himself. To further confuse his emotions, Afton finds himself tempted by the forbidden pleasures surrounding the Bacchi.

When a kidnapping ring strikes close to home, the two go undercover on a brothel barge to investigate a slavery operation. There, Lefi is confronted by painful memories from his past, while Afton is faced with a horror that threatens his future, and perhaps his very life. Their survival lies with one another, but only if Lefi can set aside his pain and listen to his heart.

Pride and sensuality don’t often go together but when they meet the results can be explosive. Afton is a police Inspector and Valorian, a hermaphroditic species. Lefi is a Somian, a species known for their uninhibited sexuality and often acting as professional sex workers or Bacchi. Historically the two very different species don’t have much to do with each other but Afton and Lefi’s explosive chemistry can’t be denied. When a year long seduction finally ends with the two together, both men realize the hardest journey is yet to come.

The Bacchi is the third novel set in author McBride’s futuristic/sci-fi world. Each book can be read as a standalone as the series is only loosely connected through the same world and not necessarily staring offshoot characters. Previous characters do make brief appearances but those new to this author or series can read any of the three alone or together and not be lost. This time out stars Afton and Lefi as they navigate a potentially disastrous relationship and try to solve an illegal kidnapping and sexual slavery conspiracy. The plot moves steadily if not exactly fast. I read this one pretty quickly though so the somewhat more tame feeling pace didn’t hinder my enjoyment at all. In fact it makes the story more sensual and fits well with Lefi’s personality and occupation.

Both characters are wonderfully three dimensional and interesting. Afton is a hermaphrodite but orients as male. His journey is one of self and sexual discovery that his attraction to Lefi sets off. Afton must learn who he really is and what he really wants while Lefi must try to recover from his broken heart and death of beloved twin. These two men slowly find themselves within the confines of their relationship, providing strength, love, and understanding. The side plot about the sexual slavery syndicate is nicely explored and provides a suitable and fitting backdrop to the drama played out within their relationship.

There are few missteps in this one that I found but there are some potential issues for other readers. First because Afton is a hermaphrodite and Lefi is an equal opportunity sex worker, there is some brief m/f sex shown on page. Again, this fits and is used well so don’t let this turn you off. I tend to be purist in my m/m books wanting only that but I honestly didn’t mind the brief m/f here. Also if the book doesn’t engage you pretty quickly the slower pace may drag for some readers. There isn’t a lot of quick action and only a handful of sex scenes so the relationship dynamic has to be the real draw. I easily found myself entertained and interested pretty quickly so hopefully others will too.

This new found womanhood and control is what she needs to in turn be able to help Charlie get past his emotional blockage–if she ever can. Or she may have to use her knew founded power to find a man who can fully appreciate the woman she was and the one she has become.

Charlie was a man who intrigued me immediately because of his emotional restraint as well as his chivalrous nature. He is always so diplomatic even when others seem to lose their cool. It made me want to understand the man behind the masks and find out what made him tick other than seeing a woman in a corset, of course. I have to say that the deeper I dove into the story and the characters the more I wanted to know. Even at the end of the story I felt as if I could continue to learn so much more about the guarded man who has achieved so much in his life.

The storyline was sometimes playful and others deadly serious. This rollercoaster of events and emotions can pique the interest of any reader. Additionally, while this was a modern day setting I had a bit of a vintage feeling to me as well. Maybe it was Zara’s fascination with vintage clothing, or Charles’ need to maintain his family’s historical views, but I could have easily have seen this story set in 1812 and easily as current day. This ability to bridge timelines really made the story even more entertaining. While many other stories I feel almost anyone can enjoy this story is truly one of those stories that everyone will find endearing and I would truly say if you enjoy romance novels you will definitely enjoy this story.

It is clear that they are going to need some work regarding the bar and figure some way to meet in the middle. Ben while out of his element wants to make the bar as successful as possible. Shane feels as if he has been running the bar long enough to know what it needs and what is right, even if admittedly something have feel through the cracks.

The physical attraction between the characters is instantly recognizable. Even when the author doesn’t come out and say it directly you can tell there is something pulling these two together. While they may not recognize or understand that they have the unique ability to give each other what they need I as a reader could recognize it. It made the story more entertaining to watch how they figured out themselves and their need for one another.

The BDSM element in this story was intriguing. The characters seem to fall right into the role of dominant and submissive without even recognizing their own needs or each others. One thing that I would have liked was for one of them to educate themselves on safety regarding their actions. I couldn’t help but wonder if they would push the envelope too far and not understand what type of potential physical and emotional damage they would have done. Luckily, they did not harm one another and instead looked to meet each other’s needs. Now I hope some of the other characters in the story can also find there happily ever after, and I have a feeling this isn’t the last of The Square Peg we will see.

On the island where they first met two lovers from opposite sides of the tracks are reunited. Now jaded and broken, Alex and Matt still can’t deny their sizzling connection or the memories of one perfect, uninhibited year together.

At twenty-two, Matt Tarrington is rich, good-looking and destined to be powerful, but behind that confident exterior lurks a man who resents the life his family thrust upon him. Wanting an escape, Matt heads to Mirabella Island off the coast of Florida for a year of relaxation and a few wild nights with vacationing party-girls.

Matt never expected to find real passion in the arms of Alex Hunter, a handsome, laid-back local. Alex is gay, but closeted. Knowing Matt should be off limits, Alex finds the deeply-in-denial rich boy too tempting to ignore. Especially when a bet has them working together, fighting the heat in the rundown, beachside cafe where Alex sweats for every dollar.

Their love felt inevitable until youth left them vulnerable to hatred and greed. After six years of hating the lies they live to make others happy, they will have to risk it all for the second chance they both desperately need.

The patent of sale discount price viagra has not lapsed and so, the medicine made of Sildenafil citrate has been used to make the remedies can be found right at home. What was meant to be a year of fun and relaxation turned into a soul deep, life changing experience.

Alex Hunter is the stereotypical beach bum, working only enough to get by and parties all night. Living with his brother and his best friend/pseudo girlfriend Holly, they live the typical lifestyle of those on the wrong side of the beach. With no real ambitions, and no cares in the world, Alex is blissfully ignorant of all the things life has to offer. Until Matt walks into his job.

Matt Tarrington is a college graduate with the weight of the world poised to settle on his shoulders. But Matt isn’t looking forward to stepping into his father’s footsteps, the same that led his father to an early grave. Deciding to spend a year at the beach, the same he spent his summers on, Matt just want to live and relax before he’s shackled to a desk for the rest of his life. What he wasn’t expecting was meeting someone who would change his entire world.

Matt was known as a ladies’ man, but little did the world know that he’d secretly lusted after a few men over the years, including Alex. Something about the man had lit Matt’s fire since high school. Luckily for him, Alex wanted Matt in return. Being in the closet, Alex had to be careful of who he came on to, but Matt gave out all the signs of an interested party. When the passion ignites, neither are prepared for the trail is leaves behind.

I loved this book! I will admit that the previous M/M books I have read have never tickled my fancy the way this book did. I think the author did a fabulous with the character development of both Matt and Alex. First the sex and passion ignited the page, wow, but then the love and romance swept in like an ocean wave and really made this book sizzle. It was a typical love story of people from opposite sides of the tracks, or beach in this case, but Kele Moon did a great job of finding a middle ground.

If you are a fan of sexy Alpha boy loving with a dash of sweet and a whole lot of passion, then this is a book for you. I will be dipping into this author’s backlist to see what other treasures I can find!

Joining the Mile High Club seemed like a fun thing to do, but Yolanda Latimer has more than a scandal to face when she falls to earth. The only person who can help her is the man who witnessed her tryst, and somehow turned her on without touching her.

Introducing Yolanda to the wilder side of sex is sheer delight for mentor Lawrence Cavendish, but his gorgeous pupil gets far deeper under his skin than he planned for, and soon he’s involved in her real life dilemma. His sex life is all he allows to remain from his previous existence in a dark and dangerous world, where every day could have been his last. Yolanda unwittingly pulls him back in, threatening a life he loves and devastating public exposure as a fraud. Even she won’t want him when she finds out his true nature.
Hence it increases quality and quantity of semen and useful in impotence. valsonindia.com on line viagra The most successful medicine by Ajanta Pharma is Kamagra oral jelly. cialis on line australia Distance learners should verify the recognition of the online pharmacy, consumer should proceed to buy medications like purchase generic viagra, viagra online.

Unless they find the man who is blackmailing Yolanda, she’s washed up, her precious job and her reputation gone forever. Only Lawrence has the contacts that can flush her blackmailer from the seamy undergrowth of the criminal underworld, and to do it he has to risk everything he’s won over the years. Even her love.

Yolanda was certainly stripped bare in this story physically, mentally, and emotionally. Yolanda isn’t the only one whos layers are removed in this story. Lawrence, while usually the one remove layers, quickly realizes that Yolanda may be the only person that can strip him while he is doing the same to her.

One part of the story that I found enjoyable was the sexual activity. Lawrence is really helping Yolanda to understand more about herself through sexuality. I think this helps the character in more ways than just how to have a great orgasm. It teaches her how to relieve stress and understand more about her body and mental state. This teaching or self discovery does involve some interesting scenes including a sexual awakening at a club while watching an ménage. The scene does involve anal play, but is done in a tasteful way which leaves everyone including the main character satisfied.

The conflict in this story added an extra element of excitement and entertainment. It added a sympathy element regarding Yolanda as well as allowed Lawrence to be the knight and shinning armor Yolanda needed. It also allowed the author to introduce some interesting sub-characters such as Jim Yolanda’s IT guy and Mick, someone Lawrence thought he left in his past.

This story ignited a love for erotic stories that I thought I had lost, and will always have a spot in my heart for that fact alone. So if you are someone looking to get introduced to little BDSM or has had a long appreciate for it you will enjoy reading this story.

It was spot on. i really felt everything she was going through, from the orgasmic ecstasy of being at the weekend play party, to the disgust she felt at certain situations with a male dom and her interactions with her family.
