Michael left England for America, running away from Very and Wolf, after Sophie's wedding to Ian in At Love's Command. He and Very were quite close to having sex when Wolf found them and joined them and the intensity of the three of them scared the bejezus out of Michael and he ran as far and as fast as he could. Two years later, Very sees a friend die during a demonstration and months after that she still suffers nightmares. But at least she has Wolf. Very has been married to Wolf for several months when Michael returns.
But not all is as it seems at first. Michael brought back secrets and danger from his trip to America. Both of which need to be taken care of before he, Wolf and Very can get their HEA.
Though I do wish that Michael had not run off in the first place (it was a pretty cowardly move), I think it, overall, did everyone some good. Very needed to grow up - and she did in a very sudden and violent way, unfortunately, and Wolf needed time with Very on his own. When all three of them do finally get together, it is delicious. ...more
This one kind of missed the mark for me. While it did have its cute moments, Raine and Jonah's relationship just didn't feel organic. Jonah went from This one kind of missed the mark for me. While it did have its cute moments, Raine and Jonah's relationship just didn't feel organic. Jonah went from horrified at seeing Geoff and Eli kiss to kissing Raine just a little too quickly and easily. And Jonah didn't seem to have much depth to his personality. Also, it was never made clear just how Raine's attack prompted investigation into the company Raine was working for. That never made sense to me and made even less once the attacker was found....more

I went into this book still mourning Miggy, but also hopeful for Remy and Jamie. And now Toby has gotten mixed up in some rather unsavory things while trying to help his friend Pepper. Wow, what a wild ride this was. We truly come full circle here.
When this series started, neither Remy nor Jamie was fit for a relationship. They both had some stuff to work out and Remy needed to learn how to not run away. They have come so far and they finally get their HEA. But, boy do they have to work for it!

It's certainly different than what I would have expected from just reading the blurb, and even with Todd's amazing review, it took me by surprise. But I'm not sure yet how to review it. I'll give it some thought.
Edited to add: I really wanted to write an actual review for this book, but I just can't do it without giving anything away. All the things I would love to talk about and rail about would spoil the story and I'm not going to do it, even with spoiler tags. It's a very different read than my usual, in pretty much every way. The story structure, the nature of the HEA... it's different. Good, but different. I am among the hopeful in hoping that the author will continue the story in some fashion....more

If you're interested in reading this book, you're going to want to read Chapter Five first. It's free, though.
While this is not a steamy read at all, I do like the writing style. The characters are quirky and Joshua's voice is vivid.
Joshua is the older man in the story. He's sixteen years senior to Rad, who is only 26. Rad likes older men, though, and doesn't at all have a problem with Joshua's age. Josh, however, is a mite insecure about the age gap. His previous long term relationship ended when his partner left him for a much younger man, so he's rather conscious of the fact that Rad could decide that someone closer to his own age would be better. Apartment 14 rather revolves around Josh trying to wade through his insecurities in the relationship while loving the adventure he has found himself in.
We meet some of Rad's friends in Utah, including Wren, an occasional 'friend with benefits', aka 'the devil next door'. Wren is conniving and manipulative and is doing his damndest to get rid of Josh so he can have Rad all to himself.
So, the story is short, but it doesn't feel lacking. I certainly enjoyed it....more
~BR with Renee, Ele and Karen. We're all nervous about this one... ~
Me and my fellow buddy readers were quite nervous about reading the conclusion to ~BR with Renee, Ele and Karen. We're all nervous about this one... ~
Me and my fellow buddy readers were quite nervous about reading the conclusion to the Never Too Early series. We're all fans of Jake & Tor and of Chance & Tucker from their individual series and we were worried that mixing them would take away some of their magic.
For me, I am happy with the result! I found Never Too Early: Full Circle to be a strong finish for our four men and I'm happy with where they ended up.
Without giving too much away (I hope), the insecurities and doubts of one of our guys actually made the whole stronger, because it forced everyone to talk things out and be honest and open. Communication is key in any relationship and the more people you add, the more important it becomes. Jake and Tor know from experience that it is imperative to talk things out, so they were instrumental in keeping focus and keeping the lines of communication open for everyone.
Never Too Early: Full Circle just worked for me. It wasn't all about the sex (though, holy hell was it hot) and it did focus on the relationships as our men figured out this new dynamic.

When we first met Arie, during Robbie and Joey's story, he was kind of a little bitch. He does redeem himself, though and I've grown to like him. Duane is a deputy sheriff and all around good guy. He and Arie hit it off pretty quickly. I enjoyed them getting to know one another quite a lot.
And Adelle is one fierce woman. I'd hate to anyone that hurts her boys. She is a force to be reckoned with....more
