This is a story about a woman who wants to submit to a man and a Dom who is willing to test her. Abby researched Nathaniel, a known Dom because she wanted to experience her own submissiveness. And Nathaniel had the reputation to be very good at teaching submissives. He gave her his requirements that went as far as an exercise plan and diet guidelines. Abby was thrilled with most of it. The relationship that unfolds is kind of a roller coaster ride between which Nathaniel she gets at which time. Cold and detached or tender and sweet Nathaniel.

I have read other reviews and this is said to be fan-fiction. I really don’t care because I enjoyed the book just like I did with the 50 Shades books. It was a story about two people who just might end up being exactly what the other needs and that’s enough for me. I liked the characters and the sex was HOT! I will definitely read more of this series.

Ford Hendrix has come home. A former Navy SEAL and hometown hero. He has come home to run a business with four of his military friends. He has come home to a family that overwhelms him and an ex-fiancé who jilted him for his former best friend. He also came home to the woman who has loved him since she was fourteen.

Isabel Carlisle has also come home. She came home from New York after a failed marriage. She’s running her family’s business, just until she can regroup and raise more money for her fashion business she wants to open in NYC. She has a sister she barely knows and has to face the man she loved years ago.

From Ford’s fights with Angel, to his mother’s please marry my son booth at the festival, to the fake relationship and the letters that bound these two people to each other, this was a great book. Funny, sweet and sexy. I even sighed. You even got a twofer, Kent and Consuelo’s story. That was the only weak part of the book. Their relationship was abrupt without secrets coming to the surface. Otherwise, another great one from Susan Mallery.

So, Ty and Landon have been best friends for a long time now.  Each wonders about making that a sexual relationship, but neither knows if the other is attracted to him.  To top it off, neither of them has ever been with a man before.  So they are each secretly lusting after the other.
 
Finally, having downed enough beers, a celebratory sports hug turns into much more.  And now they have to navigate the aftermath of that night.    Was this a one time thing?  Or something more?
 
Well, it’s a romance, so of course it’s something more!  This was a quick read and it was pretty good.  It was a solid story and the pacing of it was good.  I’ll admit that I had a hard time keeping the guys straight sometimes.  Overall it had a good feel to it though.  it’s the second in the series, but I had no problem keeping up with everyone.  The first book in the series is Sharing Hailey, and it sounded pretty good!  And I LOVE that Landon appreciates that Hailey has broken ground for him (they’re siblings, if I remember right) when he thinks “He knew for a fact that introducing Hailey’s menage to the family had been more complicated than introducing his relationship with Ty.”
 
It was good read and I’d read this author again.
 
This was the first m/m book I read where both guys were m/m virgins.  Are there other books out there you would recommend like this?
