This book is a cuddle and fluff fest and I enjoyed it so much. Theo is the perfect puppy and the way Preston takes to training him is adorable.
They have had a nice chemistry between them since the first book and the way their story went was exactly how I expected it to go.
In this book we take a deeper dive into pet play and especially puppy play since Theo is one. He educate Preston in how to train him after his former trainer abandoned him. Preston was a bithesitant at first but with some encouragement and research he took to it like a duck takes to water. Prestons dominant side helps and they have a lot of fun in and outside the bedroom.
We get characters that communicate, cuddle and thrive together.

I dont know what to say about this book more then I loved it. With the amount of work I have right now, these low angst high heat books in The Kinky Housemate series is the perfect escape.
Fraser is precious, I adore him. Beau is a bit more serious but oh what a man he is for Fraser.
Fraser is an Kinky Role Play afficionado and after a cancelled "date" he ask Beau if he is interested in some role playing and mind you this is not the first time the tango in bed together. But this is the start of the journey.
They way Beau and Fraser float between kinky sex and hard conversations are breathtaking, pun intended. This book makes me squeal and gush like a school girl. And I can't seem to stop thinking about them.
This book can be read as a stand-alone but you will enjoy is so much more if you read them in order.

I did not want this book to end, luckily it is part of a series. Even if we may not see Oscar, Ford and Colton much in the other books but the main themes will follow.
I don't know what made me fall in love with Oscar, I think his youth and nativity tuged at something in me and I knew he would be fine.
Colton and Ford are happily married with an open relationship. This because Ford is a strict dom and Colton is a switch and there are certain things Ford can't do for Colton. So Colton have a sugar baby for those occasions.
Oscar moves to London but quickly realise that his job in a nightclub won't help him pay all the bills, even if he lives with 7 other guys. So after some help from said guys he applies to become Coltons Sugar Baby. He is not aware of Ford until the first time they meet. But let me tell you sparks fly and I will leave you at that.
The book is not only about s*x, Kink and BDSM. It also have a substantial plot with Oscar and his family, that follows us through the whole book.
It is definitely an enjoyable read with spicy, sweet and sour scenes. It contains some really hot scenes with all three of them but also sweet scenes where Oscar can let is bunny out to play.

So far this is the book with the most angst in it. And for a good reason.
Some would say it is a slight taboo feel to the book since the characters are ex brother in laws.
Boone's marriage to Jade is on the rocks and we learn early on that they decide to divorce. In the beginning of the book we meet Jade's little brother Grady who is home form university over the summer. Grady has had a crush on Boone since forever but never said anything. And even with the pending divorce he is not going to say anything because Boone is straight, dammit. But things happen and all of a sudden Boone and Grady will have to spend the rodeo season in close quarters and let say sparks fly. As I said in the beginning this book is heavy on the angst but we also get the funny and spicy moments Ashley is known for.
I know I put down a note in the book with the phrase; Shooter is such an asshole but like an good asshole. I like that Boone uses him as an sounding board but that he doesn't take everything he says for the truth.
I love the mix of everyday life and high intese rodeo stuff. Also Suzy is a jem.
I will now sit patiently and wait for the next book, this time Colt will be in the lime light.

What a 2nd book of this series. Dirt Road Sercets had so many laugh out load moments.
In this book we meet Cope, who lives in Copper Lake and is a bronco rider. We also meet Xander an city boy on an adventure.
Cope and Xander meet in the beginning of the book when Xanders car breaks down on his way to Copper Lake. Xander is going there to.help his aunt out with her farm and animals whilst she has hip surgery and let's say he is in over his head.
Ashley James has a way to drag you into the world of Copper Lake and you feel like you never want to leave. The way she is building the characters make you route for them but also say WTF when they do stupid shit. She really knows how to mix everyday life with spice and emotional substance.
Also Ashley is really sneaky in how she sets up the next books MCs. In a throwaway scene we meet them and at first you don't think much about it but you realise you just got a nugget for the next book. So kudos to you Ashley!
Since the books interconnect, especially time line wise it is best to read them in order. I mean you could read them as stand alones if you really wanted to but trust me. Read them in order because there are some lor that you need when reading the later books.
BTW the camper scene = LOL gold star

I met Gavin and Beau the first time in Linden Bells book Sebastian and I thought maybe one day we will get their story. And here we are now.
This book is part of the Mars Fitness series, it may be the 3rd book published but it is a prequel to Ripped and Stacked. I have both books on my TBR so I am really happy to have read this one first.
Gavin has been in love with Beau since High School but Beau is oblivious to Gavins feelings. Beau's bi-awakening comes with some really ***** and sweet moments.
It's All You had me aw-ning and oh-ing the whole way through. It is a short read, only 103 pages, so it's more like you are getting snapshots on Gavin and Beau's journey and realisation that they love eachother.
This book also made my TBR list all messed up, because I had a plan on what books to read and in what order. Do I have plan now, nope!

To be honest in the beginning I felt the story moved pretty slowly. But this is a me problem, it has been a while since I have read a romance book set in pure college/uni setting. And the world works differently there, its like you are i your own bubble.
But when the story picks up it does it is an fantastic read.
I don't want to spoil to much but Daniels background with a very religious family is a big deal. And there are some twists I did not see coming. Ian who is the other MC does get mistaken for his twin brother Aiden when he first meets Daniel. And let's just say he get in over his head.
This romance book is the tentative, sweet and navie young love that I rarley read anymore. But A.E. Madsen's world building for the series Blue Mountain University has me wanting more and I will read the upcoming books in the series, because I am invested in all the characters now.

I don't know what is wrong with me but I keep picking books that will trash me emotionally.
The way Liam and Cash met is kinda sweet but also a bit sad. The fact that Cash had no idea his former boy had gotten him a new boy makes for some heartbreaking scenes and I will tell you the angst don't stop there. Liam is so young and innocent but also so mature. This makes his decisions proper but also rushed because he rather leave then stay and get hurt. Liam and Cashs chemistry is off the charts but them not being completely honest makes for hard times.
After finishing the book my heart had broken and then healed again. Liam is a wonderful little that just want his perfect daddy dom Cash and they do get there eventually and that makes my heart happy.
