Triggers: M/M Sex
Troupes: One Night Stand, Both Heros in their 40’s, Construction Owner and Bee Keeper (?)

I am just gonna dive right in and say that M/M romance is not normally my favorite subgenre. Not that I have a problem with LGBTQ+ anal just really grosses me out (whether it is M/M or M/F) and up until now the majority that I have read have been coming out stories, which is great just gets tiresome after a while. But every once in a while I try a new author in a subgenre I don't normally read just to get a break from my usual. So when I first picked up the Four Bears Construction series I actually started with book three at the very beginning of this year since it fulfilled a requirement for a reading game I was playing. I liked it well enough but it was another coming out story so I figured I’d get around to the rest of the series later on.

Well the time has come to finish this series! So I started from the beginning with Caulky (book 1) I have zero regrets! This one was not a coming out story! Bonus they are both in their early 40’s! And the best bonus of all is that they both don’t have the Ideal 8 pack, hairless bodies that are so popular in romance books. There is a reason the series is named the Four Bears Construction. Ren and Cole are completely adorable together! Ren does get a little annoying at times due to his relationship pessimism but Cole is the absolute best. Like yeah Cole used to be a hoe but there wasn’t any cheating or ex drama which I super appreciated. I think my favorite part of this book was the epilogue. It's really hard to write a good first book epilogue when the series follows a set of friends or siblings without giving anything away about the future books but K.M. Neuhold did it perfectly!

I will be reading the rest of this series in the coming days and really hope that I enjoy the rest as much as I did this book. This is an ongoing series just so yall know. Book 5 came out 3/11 in ebook and 4/26 in audio. Book 6 came out 7/2 in ebook and we are still waiting on the audio.
