Story
Just the sight of Nico ‘Stix’ Jamieson makes me want to hurt something. Between his stupid smiles on that annoyingly handsome face and the constant drumming of anything that makes a sound with those drumsticks of his, I want to throttle him. No one is that happy. I don’t trust it. Even when my hate for him is clear, he throws it back in my face with a smile and wave. And how he loves to push my buttons when he’s feeling especially obnoxious. If I hate him, then why am I obsessed with him?

Love the Characters!

I received an ALC of this book for an honest review. To begin with, I must say, enemies to lovers is my favorite trope, though this book presents as a more one-sided version. Nico (Stix) and Damien (Stone) are neighbors who also work at a nightclub together. Stone can’t stand Stix, but Stix is super happy and friendly, and teases Stone to no end.
Stone realizes that his dislike for Stix is actually attraction, but internalized fear and an abusive past led him to react to Stix’s teasing with disgust and meanness. After recognizing his attraction, Stone makes a decision: he will not be a coward any longer. He will reach out to Stix and approach him with the reality of his truth. He apologizes and admits his fear. He also acknowledges that he’s not as straight as he thought.
Stix and Stone’s relationship grows over time. Stone opens up to Stix and vice versa, and they get closer. Stone has to work through his internalized fears and Stix has to deal with his health and work issues. Through solving these problems, Stix & Stone learn to trust each other. They eventually fall for each other, developing a deep love that’s all-encompassing.
I absolutely loved this book and look forward to more in this series!

Story
Reed Ellis is absolutely gorgeous but a total newbie to camming, a virtual nobody in my world. I should have just deleted his message request for a steamy on-camera collaboration. Not everyone is cut out to be a camboy. But there's just something about him I couldn't resist. He's timid and inexperienced, quiet and closed off, but his fumbling first times play out scorching hot for the cameras, and our videos together are an instant success. I know I should just ride this out, sit back and watch the money roll in, and then move on.

Story
Sam reminds me of the horses we rescue. Scarred, skittish, and…strong. Beautiful. He’s a bit of a hat-stealer, and, truth be told, I’m a little leery of his chosen profession. The things he does in front of a camera...well, it makes me blush just thinkin' about it. But if that scar on his face is any indication, he could use somebody at his back. I aim to be that person. And yeah, some of my parts get confused by the fact that he’s all delicate and sparkly, but that’s not important. Even if the good hand lotion has somehow made it into the tack room.

Best Book I’ve Read In Awhile

I absolutely loved this book! I read a lot of books. I mean, a lot. This is one of my favorites this year. I loved Tripp and Sam. Their relationship bloomed from their first glance. I love how Tripp dotes on Sam, and how Sam rubs his belly. Their relationship is adorable.

What a cute and fun story
Reviewed: 12-25-22
I really enjoyed this story. It was fun, sweet, and made me laugh. The story of Thierry and Sarah warmed up my below-zero Ohio Christmas weekend. The story was cute, and the narrators did a wonderful job creating various characters. Bravo.

Story
There are times in your life when you know everything has changed, and no matter what you do, you can never go back to who you were before that moment. For me, that moment happened when a former Navy SEAL nicknamed "Cowboy" escorted me to the dance floor at my sister’s wedding, then walked away once the song was over. See, I had a big problem. I was 17. He was 32. And I loved him. But I wouldn’t always be 17, and one day, Jesse Compton would love me. I’d make sure of it.

I loved that it spanned several years
Reviewed: 12-24-22
I really enjoyed this story. I liked that Tinsley grew up 2 years over the span of the book. The narrators were excellent. I enjoyed the female narrator’s voice. The male was okay. Tinsley grew into a young woman throughout the story. Jesse fought his affection throughout the story. I enjoyed hearing his perspective in the epilogue. His pain was evident. I look forward to listening to Cowboy, and have added it to my tbr!
