Their children are getting married in a small ceremony on a tropical island and then the party of 6 will spend 2 weeks in paradise.<\/p>\n<p>Things immediately start going wrong for the father of the bride and the father of the groom. They keep quiet though because this isn&#8217;t about them, it&#8217;s about their kids. The men can handle a few minor inconveniences and get through the 2 weeks, for the kids&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Well the minor inconveniences seem to have forced the men to acknowledge their mutual desires for one another. It can&#8217;t hurt to take 2 weeks in paradise to explore their likes in the bedroom and have a little fun. However neither man is prepared for just how much 14 days can change everything.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve read the book twice. That is how much I loved this story. It&#8217;s a quick paced book about finding The One when you least expect it and The One being the person you least expected. It deals with some heavy topics, as such, please read the content warning.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Escape into addictive, sexy, emotional M\/M romance.<\/p>\n<p>A.D. Ellis is an Indiana girl, born and raised. She spends much of her time in central Indiana as an instructional coach\/teacher in the inner city of Indianapolis, being a mom to two amazing teens, and wondering how she and her husband of over two decades haven&#8217;t driven each other insane yet. A lot of her time is also devoted to phone call avoidance and her hatred of cooking.<\/p>\n<p>She loves chocolate, hot tea, sweet wine with friends, pizza, and naps along with reading and writing romance. These loves don\u2019t leave much time for housework, much to the chagrin of her husband. Who would pick cleaning the house over a nap or a good book? She uses any extra time to increase her fluency in sarcasm.<\/p>\n<p>A.D. uses she\/they pronouns.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up at http:\/\/www.subscribepage.com\/ADEllisNewsMMRomance for a FREE male\/male romance book.<\/p>\n<p>FREE books&#8211; sign up at bit.ly\/ADEllisNews for a FREE male\/female romance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Stephens adores his daughter, loves making furniture, and is slowly but surely healing from a traumatic past.
