Love in Spades by Charlie Cochet
5.0
I'M SO HAPPY!
I don't think there is anything about this book I didn't absolutely love and adore. Ace and Colton had amazing chemistry right away - similar to Dex and Sloane's for me, that kind of connection is how well Cochet wrote these two (I love Dex and Sloane to bits, so it says a lot for me how much I loved these two) - and Cochet's wonderful humor was present right away and there throughout, and I love how much this made me laugh as well as how these two made me melt with their sweetness (and also fan myself from their hotness together ;)).
And some might think Ace and Colton moved a little fast, but I didn't care because we got the scenes and the feelings between these to make it 100% believable for me when they fell in love and knew it after only a few weeks - maybe less than that? I'm not sure. But a short amount of time, nonetheless.
But these two were just so into each other from the moment they met, and they were smitten like crazy too.
Colton tries to resist it because things in his past has made him untrustworthy of those who seem to be taking any control away from him.
But Colton's resistance is part of the fun, and the hilarity that ensued as Ace tried to guard Colton and Colton made it as difficult as possible was the best.
But of course Cochet also included the sweet moment, the moments where they two were serious and talked to each other and opened up, and allowed for each other to fall deeper in love.
I was just enraptured from the very first page, and I'm already excited about Red and Laz's story (they were adorable!) and hopefully *crosse fingers* Frank and Joshua's too. I also can't wait for Lucky's story, because he's apparently a big player, loving to have sex with a lot of people - men and women - a lot of the time, but I want to see who it is that can capture his heart, and then King too. King is the leader of their four-man led group of Four King's Security, and he's the glue, the leader, so I can't for his as well.
Ahhh, I'm just loving all these characters, I loved Ace and Colton's love story, and I'm so excited for everyone else's story too - and with Cochet writing them, I don't doubt they'll be as amazing as this was!
I was actually surprised by who was behind the threats against Colton that led to Four Kings having to be hired by Colton's father to protect him, and I felt Cochet did a good job of leading you to believe one thing so you were shocked when another thing was revealed. A few things happened that I did NOT see coming at all!
I thought I had it all figured out, then just when you think you do, you don't. (Although looking back now, I totally see. Not on the first read though.)
Two very very enthusiastic thumbs up for this amazing start to what is sure to be an amazing series. It had all the things I loved about a Cochet novel - humor, wonderful romance, and great suspense. DEFINITELY recommend! I just feel so giddy after reading this because it was just so damn good!

Very quick, fun read about a dancer, Kit, and the bartender at Sapphire Sands, Seth, that was featured in the Four Kings Security full length books.
I thought they had great chemistry for such a quick read, and yeah it happened quick, but this is a quick, 60 page read. Not a lot of time for build up and the falling in love portion. But I believed it with these two, and their attraction was palpable.
Definitely recommend for a quick, fun read. (Also a great light read if you've just read a very heavy, emotional book.)

Cute little short focusing on Leo and King having their first Christmas together and Ace being Ace, which I always love to see. Ace is kinda like the Dex of this group ;)
