Another great book in the Alluring Indulgence series with the Walker Family. Nicole has a great way of building the characters in the previous books and you get bits of each character in each book. The story of Ethan is such a good one, I was laughing at times and I was tearing up at other times. Seeing the love with Ethan and Beau come about is great. I loved learning more about Ethan and seeing him and Beau get together and opening up to Beau about his past and why he was so closed off. I love how we see the family come together the way they always do. The story line is great and the way Nicole covers a touchy subject still in 2014, the way she covers the different sensitive subjects is amazing. Thank you so much for another fantactic book Nicole!!! YOu Rock and I cannot wait for the next Walker Brother you have for us.

Pre-review:
This is very enjoyable, but I truly hate feeling like I'm missing important details because I'm not interested in an M/F and menage BDSM series. If an author is going to mix M/M into the middle of a het series, they should make darn sure we have all the information, considering a lot of M/M readers don't cross lines back into non-M/M romance. I don't think it would have been too hard to have did a flashback to the first kiss, or taken those scenes and had THOSE be the prologue to the story.
I hate that I missed the first freaking kiss, and the first realization that these guys had feelings for each other.
However, all that being said, I liked this a lot. The sex was hot and plentiful, and I loved watching Ethan fight his feelings, but then once he was in, he was all in. I loved the extended family, but not enough to dive back into that genre.

I absolutely LOVED this book. When I read all of the raving reviews I thought that there is no way this book is THAT good. The reviewers MUST be exaggerating. Well, I have to say that I was wrong because it IS that good. If you have read this series from the beginning, including Holidays with the Walker Brothers, you are already emotionally invested in this couple, and their story is so touching that I didn't want to put this book down. This is my first M/M book and wasn't sure I'd like it very much, but I did. I love how Beau is so sure about what he wants and never gives up on Ethan. I love the way that despite his best efforts, Ethan can't help himself and once he starts falling, he falls hard (no pun intended). The revelation of the heartbreaking reason Ethan isolates himself is very believable and not far fetched at all. Beau also has a devastating experience as well. I love how Ethan's parents support all of their children no matter what they choose or what the situation may be. I don't normally write a review when I rate books I've read, but I liked this one so much that I wanted to let people who weren't so sure about it (like I was) that it's so worth the read. This is by far my favorite in this series. I can't wait to read the next one!

This was just pure smutt. Which can be ok but there was no plot, no characters development, no substance, just smutt. Gets boring very quick, I want to get to know the characters and have some good plot to it.

This was very well written, I don’t remember coming across any errors tho I did skim a lot of the story.
This felt really toxic,it did start to get better when Ethan and Beau got together but the prolongue just left me with a strong distaste for Ethan and I didn’t see what Beau saw in him, Beau deserved better. It felt like insta love and that might also be a reason why I wasn’t really into it, for such a long book I was expecting more depth.
Ethan’s family was fully supportive and I’m not sure why it took them so long to speak to him about getting help?

Ethan is a great read! This is the fourth installment of the Alluring Indulgence series. Yum...
The love between Ethan Walker and Beau Bennett is absolutely heart warming and adorable! I'm so happy that Beau was able to find someone he truly loves and doesn't just have a mild infatuation on.
Beau has been attracted to Ethan since he finally accepting being gay just a year before. Ethan, is basically a man-whore who doesn't date and doesn't do relationships of any kind. But Ethan has a special attraction to Beau and knows if anything happens, it wouldn't be just his normal routine with other guys.
It also doesn't help that Ethan isn't officially "out" to his family yet. Sure, they all know...but he hasn't actually come out of the closet to them yet. Beau hasn't told his parents yet either, but since he hardly has a relationship with them as it is, he doesn't really think too much of it. At least, not at first.
The bully who tortured and beat up Ethan as a teenager is back in town and hell bent on continuing his bullying...forcing Ethan to reveal his secrets to his family.
These two are simply adorable together. Their attraction is honest and down right dirty, lol. Not a minute in this book that you aren't on the edge of your seat with sexual tension and steamy romance.
***On a side note, you should read Holidays with the Walker Brothers before this book****
