Riven

I’ve never been great at letting people in. Life is easier if I bury my feelings. People tend to let you down, which is only proven when my best friend, Rex, accidentally kills a man and lets me take the fall.

When I get out of prison, the last thing I want is to go back to Clayton, Oregon, but it’s where my grandma lives, the only person who’s always had my back. My plan is to stay out of trouble, steer clear of my old crew, save up, and the second we can, leave town for good.

Parrish

I want nothing to do with my family and their illegal activities. With Riven back, I worry things will get worse. He and Rex have always brought out the worst in each other, but then I discover Riven went to prison for something my brother did, and my family isn’t happy to have him home.

Riven wants nothing to do with me, and I don’t blame him. But like a moth to the flame, I’m drawn to him. It starts out as mutual lust, Riven sating the pleasure he craves, while I get to fulfill my first-crush fantasies. But with every moment, I see there’s more to Riv than anyone knows.

Not everyone would see him as a good man, but to me, he’s the boy who used to try to keep my family’s lifestyle from becoming mine.

And now he’s the man who risked his heart to fall in love with me…and the one who’d risk more to protect me.

Risk the Fall is an ex-best friend’s brother romance that contains violence, drug use, crime, and death of a non-main character.

Rivan went to prison for his best friend. He is home now and nothing is the same. He hates the entire Hunt family so can someone please explain to him why Parrish Hunt, his ex best friends little brother, is stirring something primal in the man he can no longer ignore.

Parrish had a crush on Rivan when he was younger and now that the man is back in town, Parrish is finding the flame he has always kind of held for the other man is still burning bright. Getting Rivan to feel or express any sort of emotion is going to be a difficult task but Parrish is ready for the challenge.

This is more than just a silly crush, its a once in a lifetime kind of love and all I wanted was for the men to have their happily ever after because no 2 people deserve it more.

All I really wanted was for these 2 to get their happily ever after. They were perfect for one another. There were a few bumps along the way getting there which could have been avoided through better communication between Spencer and Andrew. In the end though, the grand gestures made up for the miscommunications. I know this series will be read over and over again because its just THAT GOOD! Spencer and Andrew were terrific but the motley crew of supporting characters made this series even better.

Cake & Cocktails is a steamy, M/M age-gap romance featuring a grumpy teddy bear of a bar owner and a quirky baker just looking for love, acceptance, and a forever family.

Henry is well-aware he’s a bit of a grump. Outside of his passion for running the Riggs Family Roadhouse, and a precious few close friends and family, Henry doesn’t need anything—or anyone—else. But when a mysterious young man walks into the bar, Henry finds himself obsessed with making sure the blue-eyed beauty is taken care of.

Determined to get far, far away, Jack fled his nightmarish home life with barely a hint of a plan. Five hundred miles later, the small town of Haven Grove might just hold the perfect recipe for healing Jack’s wounded heart. Maybe he’ll stay a while, especially if the cuddly bear of a man behind the bar keeps plying him with food, kindness, and sweet smiles.

Henry just wants to help the newcomer get back on his feet. Instead, for whatever reason, his interfering heart is mixing up a different plan. Jack doesn’t know how he could leave when Haven Grove has all the ingredients for his happily ever after, but do Jack and Henry have what it takes to bake up their very own perfect slice of love?

I want to start by saying I have read every single one of the LGBTQIA titles by this author and have enjoyed every single one of them. I even have the name of one of their books on my arm in my MM inspired book tattoo. I think that one will forever be my favorite A.d. Ellis standalone. But Cakes and Cocktails helped the Haven Grove series steal the favorite series spot from one of her other lovable groups of men from back in the day.
Henry is a natural caregiver. Always making sure his family and friends are alright and taken care of but who is there to take care of Henry?
Jack is searching for a new place to call home when he stumbles upon Haven Grove and the owner of the Roadhouse, a brooding, sexy bear of a man named Henry Riggs.
Henry discovers someone may be eating out of the dumpster and possibly living behind his business. He starts to leave food and bedding supplies for the stranger and eventually gets him to agree to stay on Henry’s couch.
This is book #2 in The Men of Haven Grove series. Its been fun getting to know this family and their friends. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Spencer Cohen is the guy who gets answers to relationship questions. Playing the role of the new lover, his job is to make his client’s ex realise one of two things: he doesn’t want to break up or he really does. Either way, his client gets answers. The ex would either apologize and beg, or turn and walk.

But in the end, Spencer’s client won. If he wanted his ex back and got him, it was great. If the guy walked away, then as hard it was for the client, he knew it was over. Regardless of the outcome, Spencer’s work was done.

Andrew Landon’s ex left him without so much as an explanation. But his sister can’t stand to see him miserable, so, much to Andrew’s dismay, they hire Spencer to be Andrew’s new boyfriend to get the ex back. For Spencer, it is never personal. Merely a business transaction. No emotions, no strings, no complications.

Yeah right. Even a blind man could see how this would end.

Spencer is a professional relationship expert of sorts. People hire him when they want to win back their ex which is what has Andrew needing Spencer’s help. Well really Andrew’s sister signed him up for it but that is neither here nor there. Moving on…
I listened to this book on audio. I had several friends tell me this is their favorite N.R. Walker series and I get it now. I feel like I did myself a disservice for putting it off for so long. Between reading and audiobooks I finished the series in less than a week. I really would have loved to know what Andrew was thinking at times but I guess it was not meant to be. Other than that book 1 was perfect and I immediately jumped into book 2.
