Review
The start to a good series set in LA music culture. The romance is really sexy and the age difference is well handled. I like the bisexual rep in this book particularly.
Good chemistry here and good secondary characters that should make for great heroes.
The drama with the older hero's ex is really will done but the drama with the younger hero's ex and the music business is way less engaging.
I am looking forward to the next book with Charlie as the lead.

I think that both Ivo and Henry was powerfully depicted in this friends to lovers, loved you forever romance.
Henry is the bee's knees in all his bookworm care taking sexy ginger self. Ivo is pretty damaged and afraid. But all their actions make sense to me so while I might not have like how Ivo processed his feelings all the time, I got it. Plus, he gets therapy which I always like to see with characters who are this wounded.
The love between these heroes is tangible and we get to enjoy the banter and the ache as well as the cast from the series as well as a great dog. Good stuff!
Review
A wonderful emotionial romance. Jude and Asa resist falling in love but fall they do and it is a joy.
Asa is quick to judge because of his past and this makes him pretty spiky but Jude is just to too lush and really sweet. We have a cool kid in the mix here too which raises the stakes a bit.
Wet get to know each hero as they get to know each and that is the most fun. The circle of friends is here and the banter makes this book very fun.
The HEA is epic and well earned. Enjoy!
The world’s had it out for San Francisco firefighter Mace Crawford from the moment he was born. Rescued from a horrific home life and dragged through an uncaring foster system, he’s dedicated his life to saving people, including the men he calls his brothers. As second-in-command of their knitted-together clan, Mace guides his younger siblings, helps out at 415 Ink, the family tattoo shop, and most of all, makes sure the brothers don’t discover his darkest secrets.
It’s a lonely life with one big problem—he’s sworn off love, and Rob Claussen, one of 415 Ink’s tattoo artists, has gotten under his skin in the worst way possible.
Mace’s world is too tight, too controlled to let Rob into his life, much less his heart, but the brash Filipino inker is there every time Mace turns around. He can’t let Rob in without shaking the foundations of the life he’s built, but when an evil from his past resurfaces, Mace is forced to choose between protecting his lies and saving the man he’s too scared to love.
Review
Mace and Rob are on fire together. We have a bit of that hate love going on and the forbidden as well as Mace part owns the tattoo shop where Rob works.
Mace's backstory like all of his foster brother. There is a great deal of outside drama in this book as Mace's past comes back and all the darkness he has tried to hide leaks out but that is all for the good as Mace gets a chance to heal.
The brothers are wonderful as they were in the first book and I would recommend reading this series in order.
I like Rob a great deal and love that he comes with his own support system. Ford really builds a world here and I like coming to hang out with this crew.
Life takes delight in stabbing Gus Scott in the back when he least expects it. After Gus spends years running from his past, present, and the dismal future every social worker predicted for him, karma delivers the one thing Gus could never—would never—turn his back on: a son from a one-night stand he’d had after a devastating breakup a few years ago.
Returning to San Francisco and to 415 Ink, his family’s tattoo shop, gave him the perfect shelter to battle his personal demons and get himself together… until the firefighter who’d broken him walked back into Gus’s life.
For Rey Montenegro, tattoo artist Gus Scott was an elusive brass ring, a glittering prize he hadn’t the strength or flexibility to hold on to. Severing his relationship with the mercurial tattoo artist hurt, but Gus hadn’t wanted the kind of domestic life Rey craved, leaving Rey with an aching chasm in his soul.
When Gus’s life and world starts to unravel, Rey helps him pick up the pieces, and Gus wonders if that forever Rey wants is more than just a dream.

This is a fully enjoyable, sweet, low angst romance with wonderful courting between two kind heroes.
We get the fun of a hockey romance with two out heroes mixed in with a charming little kid.
I could read this little gem over and over. If you are looking for a low angst delight, pick this one up!
Undercover Agent Ulyssa is no man’s captive. Trapped in a primitive alien forest awaiting pickup, she’s going to make the best out of a bad situation… which doesn’t include falling for the seductions of an alpha male king.

Being married to a federal agent certainly has its perks. This way a savvy jewel thief always knows what the enemy is up to. Plus, who doesn't love the way a G-man looks in a suit? Penelope spends her days lifting jewels and her nights tracking the Bureau should have been a genius plan. But the closer Penelope gets to Grant Emerson, the more dangerous this feels.
It turns out that the only thing worse than having a mortal enemy is being married to one. Because in their game of theft and seduction, only one of them will come out on top.
Good thing a cat burglar always lands on her feet.
