Bearytales in the Wood #3
Boy Tangled
A boy who is scared of being caged again. A Daddy who’s about to rescue the world.
Will they trust each other to fall in love when their future is unknown?
Throwing Jake and his brothers out of the Tin Bar seems like a good idea to Aaron. It avoids a fight with another Daddy, and he doesn’t have to watch Jake play with another boy all evening.
Why does the guy who presses each one of Jake’s Daddy buttons hate him so much? Jake’s given up trying to attract his attention. Aaron clearly doesn’t like him, and Jake needs to focus on the case.
Only Aaron’s actions have unexpected consequences, and Jake brings his dream boy into the Brenner household. Aaron has good reason to avoid being caged. Can Jake persuade Aaron to wait for him or is it better to let his songbird go?

Boy Tangled is the second book in the Bearytales in the Woods series by Sue Brown. If you haven't started this series I suggest start reading Snow Twink before starting this series because of a continuing storyline.
This book is about Jake, one of the Brenner Daddies and Aaron, a bartender at the Tin Bar. I loved their story. It was sweet, sexy, full of feels and very well written. Can't wait to read the next brother's story and to find out how the overall storyline continues.

I am including excerpts from my review of Beau Bear into this review because it’s relevant to both books in terms of book numbering, and Aaron, one of the main characters.
Boy Tangled is part of the ‘Bearytales in the Wood’ series. It’s listed as Book Two, but it’s really Book Three. Snow Twink is the first book in this series. Snow Twink has all the background about Kingdom Mountain Theme Park, about the Greencoats, and about Vinny and Lyle. If you read Boy Tangled or Beau Bear first, I believe there’s a good chance you’ll be lost. I think the author should either re-number this book to Book Three and change the numbers on all the following books in the series, or add Book 0.5 to Snow Twink, because by numbering these books the way they are, it has led to confusion, which I’ve noticed from other reviewers. I even got confused, even though I read Snow Twink first. I ended up reading this book after Snow Twink thinking it was Book Two, and it felt like a chunk of info was left out, and that’s because Beau Bear was labeled as Book One, when it’s actually Book Two. OK, now that I’ve discussed what I consider mis-labeling book numbers, I can get on to the rest of the review.
This story stars, Jake Brenner one of the seven Brenner brothers, all who are Daddies, and Aaron Yates, the bartender at the Tin Bar. It’s told in third person from both Jake and Aaron’s povs.
This series needs to be read in order. As mentioned above, I accidently read this book first, which is really Book Three, before Beau Bear, and the story line didn’t run smoothly when read out of order. I received both books one and two as ARCS. ARCs can be a bit of a deterrence to giving a thorough review because I don’t know if the errors I found were fixed before publishing, and the books have been published for a while. The reason is there is a major description error regarding one of the characters in both books that I feel needs to be brought up. In Beau Bear there is a bartender named, Aaron, who is a main character in this book. Damien describes Aaron in Beau Bear like this:
Damien’s jaw dropped open. “You’re cutting me off already, Aaron.?”
The bartender, a huge bear of a man almost as big as PJ and just as bushy a beard, gave him a sympathetic look.
Damien’s brother PJ is huge, probably almost seven feet tall, and he’s a big guy. The impression we’re given in that book, is that Aaron is a huge big bear of a man. Now, I’m going to bring up Aaron’s appearance in this book. Aaron describes himself as:
Aaron thought he was tall enough at a couple of inches under (my bold marks) six foot. Although he was slender, he had muscles from working the bar. But Jake had at least ten inches on him and was three times the size.
Aaron is nowhere near as tall as PJ, nor as tall as Jake who is even shorter than PJ. Aaron isn’t even six feet tall. He isn’t even this huge bear of a man as described by Damien. He’s slender with some muscles. The book cover for this book has Aaron clean shaven. I don’t know how the author messed up a main character’s appearance from book to book, but why didn’t the betas, proofers, or editors catch this? That’s the trouble with ARCs. As readers we don’t know if we’re getting the true final version of the story. If Aaron’s physical description hasn’t been fixed, it’s a major inconsistency. Inconsistencies like this have a bearing on how much I enjoy a story and affect my star rating. I am not however, reviewing on grammar or punctuation, since those are minor compared to inconsistencies.
Okay, so those are the main points I wanted to make about this book and the previous book that are inconsistent. I didn’t find the plot as interesting as the first two stories. This story pretty much dropped all reference about Kingdom Mountain and the trafficking ring they’re running, only occasionally mentioning it to move the plot along to the next book, where all but one of the brothers will be leaving their home to travel with their boys to help the investigations and rescue more boys. This mostly focused on Jake and Aaron’s romance. I didn’t feel the romantic connection between these two as much as I did between Gruff and Lyle, and Damien and Vinny. Those relationships were emotional. Aaron’s background was along the same lines as the kidnapped boys, but he wasn’t one of the boys of Kingdom Mountain Theme Park. There are a lot of subplots brought up but never explained. Like Aaron’s mother, what happened with her, and why she did what she did. The extremely short topic about Aaron’s singing, then nothing else about it.
Aaron was more independent and bossy than either Vinny or Lyle when he met Jake, since he’d been on his own for many years. He knew Jake was a Daddy but resented Jake because Jake never paid any attention to him while at the bar. Jake was highly interested in Aaron, but figured Aaron didn’t like him, and because he was working. The two men started on the wrong foot. Aaron had PTSD of people caging or confining him, so he struggled with allowing Jake to be his Daddy. Jake had to convince Aaron he wasn’t going to trap him, he just wanted to take care of him. I didn’t feel like there was a satisfying segue from Aaron not committing to Jake, to Aaron deciding to commit to Jake. It felt vague, no light bulb moment, no emotional intensity, so in the end, I couldn’t really believe in these two as a couple. Neither Jake nor Aaron felt like in-depth characters to me because the author brought up characters points about the past for instance, and just dropped them with no explanation.
Overall, Boy Tangled is an okay read. It’s almost all romance between Jake and Aaron, while it neglects the Kingdom Mountain Theme Park backstory, which added suspense and interest to the books. This story’s plot felt flatter to me than the first two books. There are glossed over topics or dropped ones. Nevertheless, I’ll likely continue reading the stories however, because there is a character that appeared in this book and the one before, named Matt, who is one of the ‘disappeared’ boys. I won’t tell any more about him, but I want to learn more about his story. He’s surprisingly not ending up with the brother that I thought he’d end up with. I give this book, 3 Stars.
I received an ARC from the author. I’m giving my honest and unbiased review.

Book 2 in this series, but book 3 overall, loosely based on Rapunzel. This is NOT a standalone, so don't even try. You'll be immediately lost, and that's no fun.
This book is about Aaron and Jake. Aaron's daddy kink is a little different but Jake knows exactly what to do. Most of their relationship trouble comes from Jake needing to leave on a planned road trip with some of his brothers to free more boys from slavery in the Kingdom theme parks, and Aaron not wanting to be left behind, for reasons that are clearly explained in the book.
The over-arching plot line of closing all the Kingdom theme parks and freeing all the enslaved and abused boys is ongoing, and I don't foresee that coming to an end any time soon.
Next is PJ's book. KU, here I come.

This is the story of Jake and Aaron. Each book is loosely based on a fairy tale and this one touches on Rapunzel.
After being shut in his room for most of his life Aaron escaped and ended up as the bartender of the local gay bar that Jake Brenner and his brothers frequent. While not enemies both believe the other doesn’t like them and so Aaron finds Jake very annoying. When Jake rescues him from a bad situation and takes him home Aaron discovers he’s not as bad as he thought and they finally admit to their mutual attraction.
Aaron and Jake are lovely, genuine characters and it was good to catch up with the other brothers and for a couple of them their boys too, who all contribute to the story.
This was a sweet, easy read with some heat and less angst than the others in this series. It
is labelled as book 2 but is really book 3 as the series starts in ‘Snow Twink’ and all three continue the thread of saving the boys from the Kingdom Mountain theme parks. It is best to read them in order to fully understand what is happening and this book felt like an HFN rather than a HEA as it ends without a rescue plus it didn’t feel that we had Aaron’s full story yet. A great series that is easy to get lost in.
I was given an ARC of this book to review and this is my honest and voluntary opinion.

Story: 3.5 Stars
I've never been a real fan of the "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" musical, but maybe I would've had it been about seven Daddy brothers and their boys.
Overall, I enjoyed this post-Rapunzel-esque story of down-on-his-luck boy Aaron and protective Daddy Jake, who appear to dislike each other until Jake comes to Aaron's rescue and their true feelings quickly rise to the surface.
Their back-and-forth gives their love story a low-key enemies-to-lovers vibe early on, but it's mainly a fast-paced, low-angst, hurt/comfort romance between an untrusting and achingly lonely boy and a protective, caring bear of a Daddy. I'd have welcomed some additional pages for Aaron to further explore his authentic self with Jake's support, which was all revealed very late in the book.
I jumped into this story not having read Book 1 or the prequel, which I wouldn't recommend doing. The many Brenner brothers are easy enough to differentiate, but this book clearly serves as a linchpin to an overarching storyline involving the big King Mountain rescue mission, and knowing those background details would've been helpful.
Fair warning that there's also a homophobia-related incident of physical violence, and mentions of past abuse, that could do with trigger warnings. I received an advance reading e-copy of this book and have left this honest review voluntarily. (Also read in KU.)

Jake is one of the Brenner brothers and he along with his brother Alex, goes and helps rescue boys that have been taken and abused. If you want to understand the whole story, I urge you to go to the beginning and read the first book. Each book is enjoyable and features one of the brothers and their boy. Aaron has been watching Jake for a while when he and his brothers come into the bar Arron works at. After Jake gets a little drunk and almost has a fight, Aaron sends the whole bunch home. Because the Brennar brothers are big spenders, Aaron’s boss fires him. Without a job, Aaron hit the road… figuratively, after a trucker hits him in the face and knocks him to the asphalt. Jake finds Aaron and brings him home.
After some time together both realize that they’ve had feelings for the other for a while. Jake finds his boy and Aaron finds his Daddy! There’s some adventure for Jake and Aaron and a few others in the family as they go off to rescue some other boys. Although this is a quick MM book to read, it does have all of the sweet feels between boys and their Daddy's plus some sexy times too. Definitely for the 18 and older crowd. Enjoy!

This is the continuing saga of the Brenner men, all handsome bears. In this short second book in the series, Jake falls for bartender Aaron and they start an unlikely romance which will hopefully have a positive end, but the relationship delves into the issues of Aaron's past life without a resolution. Some of the issues are explained. Some are explored and the full secret of Aaron's past is hinted at but not revealed in this tale. Like the weekly film serials, this book ends with a cliffhanger, and so the reader is left to wait for the next tale in the series. To this reader it is not a satisfactory closure and I would personally rather had a longer book with the romance told to a form of conclusion.
To the author's credit the characters are simply written, but fully described, and the reader is able to realize a depth to the characters' personalities which is one of the author's major strengths. Her structure reads easily but her craft draws the reader into the tale and makes one want more.

Another installment in this series about the Brenner brothers and their boys. It was pretty good. Aaron has been the bartender at the local gay friendly bar long enough to be fully aware of the Brenner brothers and their Daddy sides, especially Jake. Jake gets on his nerves, always with the boys hanging off him. When Jake saves him from a bad situation, he has to reevaluate his opinion of the man. But Aaron has his own problems and secrets that could prevent him from getting his happy ending. Jake is busy trying to help the boys that are being rescued from the theme parks. Now he is struggling trying to decide what he should do: claim Aaron as his boy or travel with his brothers to help more boys. This book was interesting. I like the dynamic between Aaron and Jake and then the other brothers and their boys so far. With the place this book ended, I am very curious to see how the next books tie in.

Jake Brenner is a Daddy and has been watching barman Aaron for ages wanting him but missing that he is actually interested. Aaron has been lusting after Jake but felt that he was never seen or appreciated. When Aaron threw Jake and his brothers out of the Tin Bar he loses his job and through chance, Jake finds him at the side of the road. Can Daddy Jake give Aaron all that he needs while being careful to not cage him and not lock him in a room? Can Aaron give Jake the chance to care for him while he tries to save boys?
I enjoyed this story and the fact that the original angst between the two men was eventually replaced with trust and a chance for them to give each other exactly what they needed. I loved that Jake was able to handle exactly the kind of lifestyle that Aaron needed. Easy to read, feel and understand. This MM story contains mature content and a BSDM-like DDLB relationship with some cross-dressing.

Aaron is the bartender in the background who never gets noticed.
He has always had his eye on particular Brenner brother and when circumstances land him with Jake, maybe he can finally get a Daddy of his own.
This story forms part of the epic build to the take down of the green coats, which is the continuing story arc between all of the stories in this series.
Aaron was a boy with many secrets and desires, and it’s up to his Daddy Jake to help him slowly let go and discover the sides of himself he has been keeping hidden.
The story is relatively low angst with some sweet moments woven into the plot. It does have the potential of being a bigger story with the characters delving further into Aaron’s past and also exploring their kink dynamic more.
Overall, this was an enjoyable read.
I’m excited for what’s coming next.

I really wanted to like this book as I enjoyed the first two before it. It started off quite well and moved at a fast pace which I enjoyed, it's a killer waiting for the action to start sometimes! What really ruined the story for me was the editing. Aaron was Jake and Jake was Aaron and the continuity was shot to pieces and I was ripped from the moment of reading to re-read paragraphs to work out if I was going crazy or it just wasn't right. The other thing that annoyed me was that Aaron said I love you, then said he wasn't ready to be a sure thing then next minute he's all in. I was also really confused when Anna seemed to appear from nowhere. There'd been no hinting or lead up so that was frustrating to not see that develop properly.
It was fine as a filler book for what happens next in the series, but if I would have read it as a standalone I wouldn't be going back for more.

I had the luck to get an ARC for a honest review.
This is the second book in the Bearytales in the wood series, you should read the books in order and also the prequel Snow Twink at first to get the story.
The seven Brenner Brothers are all gay and all Daddys. The series’s about every brother finds his boy. I love in this Serie that every relationship is different.
This book is about Jake and Aaron which find together. Aaron still has to learn which kind of boy he wants to be. Therefore he needs a Daddy, a rule best fulfilled by Jake.
Im looking forward to part three of the series and highly recommend this book

Switch Seven Brides for Seven Brothers to boys and Daddies, add in a dash of Rumplestiltskin and you have a hint at the things going on in this series and this book. Aaron and Jake have chemistry from the first, but both deny it until Jake needs to go into protector/Daddy mode to get Jake out of a bad situation. As they spend time together, they see each other and their potential relationship in a new light. There are also still things for the brothers to do to rescue other boys still held by the corporation. Very much looking forward to that battle and seeing the rest of the brothers get their HEA as the series progresses.

MM twist on Rapunzel
This one starts out with a little bit of an enemies to lovers vibe. Aaron can't stand watching Jake flirt with all the boys at the bar. But it doesn't stop him from crushing on him. When he suddenly loses his job, Aaron decides its time to move on. He doesn't make it far before he gets rescued from a crazy situation by Jake. Jake takes Aaron home to recover and to decide what he wants to do. As these two get to know each other, we learn about Aaron's horrible past. Meanwhile the plan to rescue more boys from the theme parks is moving ahead as the brothers plan a road trip to some of the parks. I'm loving all these Daddy/boy stories. On to the next one.

Rapunzel!! Loved it!! Aaron is a bartender at the Tin Bar. He’s let go from the bar when he cuts off a Brenner. The Brenner brothers bring in a lot of money so that was a no-no. Jake finds Aaron injured on the side of the road and brings him home with him. Aaron needs to figure out what kind of boy he is. Jake realizes that Aaron is his boy and will do anything to keep him. Loved the dynamic between Aaron and Jake. I’m voluntarily leaving a review form an advanced copy that I received. My reviews are solely based on my thoughts and opinions.

I'm enchanted by these mangled fairytales. The characters are charming, and it's a fun, if awkward, way to deal with some tough subjects like abuse and kink. You definitely have to read all three books in order, and they are not stand-alones, but rather stop in the middle of the action each time, making you crave the next story. I am, however, begging the author to please please please get someone to proofread the books before they go out. This one was better, but the numerous typos make the story so much harder to enjoy.

MOUNTAIN MEN
This is about burly mountain men who want to make life better for their boys. Jake has found his boy in Aaron the surely bartender at the local bar. Trying to save the the victims of the sham of a theme park has become the Brenner brothers mission. I love how these men and boys care for each other. They give each other love, understanding and a chance to be themselves without judgement. This is a beautiful series. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND BEARYTALES IN THE WOODS!!!!!!

ARC received from the author for an honest review.
Jake and Aaron have good chemistry if they'll only get out of their own way to make it happen. Aaron is scared of being caged so Jake has to work out that area where he's his boy and not make him feel caged again. Their relationship is a little too fast paced IMO. I think it would've felt more authentic if they had taken more time to flesh out their relationship. Also I would've liked more background on Aaron. Otherwise this is a good continuing story of the overall ARC these books are telling. Worth the time spent reading.

I’m loving this series and this book is no exception, I loved how the brothers were so different from each other and how close they were, family is so important. Aaron had a terrible childhood until he escaped and Jake was so patient with him, had sadness, laughter, very emotional and hot sensual scenes. Heartwarming.
I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book for my honest opinions of which I’m under no obligation to do so. I absolutely recommend this book.

A Rapunzel remake
In Boy Tangled, Sue Brown brings the suspense, angst, romance and of course an HEA but with more to come. Aaron and Jake are a match made in heaven. A lost boy and the Daddy who knows what to do to help him find his way. Highly recommend if you love a good love story.

How dare Jake didn't said "I love you too" to Aaron?! I could see that Aaron was in love with Jake but I didn't think Jake felt the same. Jake just gave the vibes of someone who cared deeply for Aaron but love? I don't think so and the ending left me unsatisfied and left me hanging, I felt like this book was only the beginning of their relationship,

The characters were wonderful. Jake and Aaron are wonderful together. Aaron has hang ups that Jake has to navigate but through Aaron telling his past history Jake will be good for him.
I think you need to read this in order.
I did receive an Arc for a review.

Book #2 in the Bearytales in the Woods. This is book two in the story of the seven gay brothers who are all Daddy Bears. This is Jack's story of his finding his mate. Another fun light read.
I received this book as an Advanced Reader's Copy.

The book felt really short. Like, they spend the whole time gearing up for this epic road trip/ rescue, but it never happens, so I didn't even notice when the book reached its supposed climax. Nothing happened.

I wasn’t expecting that!
Quite a few things happened in here I wasn’t expecting. Seems it’s going to take a while before everything is back to normal. Or new normal I should say. Can’t wait for the next one.

Shelved as 'abandoned'
December 12, 2021DNF at 70% When Jake and Aaron begin to talk about exploring daddy/little kink. It would be helpful if the author had given some warning, but there isn't any in the blurb or the book. I like daddy kink, but I'm really uncomfortable reading about daddy/little kink.

WOW!! So Good!!
Well written story and well developed characters! Aaron is a bartender and really good at his job. He's been on the run for years and has stayed the longest here. Maybe it's time to move on.
