He\u2019s blunt, he\u2019s grumpy, and he throws F-bombs around like rainbow sprinkles. Casey takes his recent health scare as proof he\u2019s circling the drain, and his family is the only reason he hasn\u2019t given life the middle finger. No way is he letting some new guy waltz into town and stir up crap he\u2019s long-since buried. Mostly.<\/p>\n<p>Bryce left home years ago. A life surrounded by glitz and glamour was everything he thought he wanted, until he\u2019s forced to admit the loneliness is slowly eating away at him. So, Bryce heads back to Small Town, USA. He quickly finds himself entangled in a new business and a man who keeps him on his toes.<\/p>\n<p>Casey and Bryce have a rocky start, but soon they\u2019re living and working together. Heck, they might even be friends. Casey is on a healing journey, and he doesn\u2019t hate that Bryce is right there through it all. Bryce is flourishing with a newfound sense of belonging, and he owes a lot of it to Casey Joe. Their story could have wrapped up nice and neat right there but, of course, love decides to get in the way.<\/p>\n<p>Content Warning: this story contains characters with addictions and their journeys with these addictions, mention of unsupportive parents, negative religious experiences, a heart-related medical emergency, depression, mention of arson, and mentions of homophobia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/buylinks.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-26696\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/buylinks.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/buylinks.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Snacks-Jockstraps-Haven-Grove-Book-ebook\/dp\/B0FTTD6T3L\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1W1COF6AUPMFE&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.A_sWhRtdi7GVdpNQ0oTO7dLNLsmqCDHbFtVihCCKA4g.626cPMom252cx1nMcr-B5CUInqfxZmk1DKJ64eAuuFU&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=snacks+and+jockstraps+ad+ellis&amp;qid=1762733232&amp;sprefix=snacks+and+jockstraps%2Caps%2C198&amp;sr=8-1\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25373\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/242377532-snacks-jockstraps?ac=1&amp;from_search=true&amp;qid=zOJm1VJtF8&amp;rank=1\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/review.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25371\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/review.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/review.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/review.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/review.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Review by Twinsie Tenise<\/p>\n<p>Casey is a big ol grump.<br \/>\nBryce is a big ray of sunshine.<br \/>\nThe pair click instantly and begin a friendship.<br \/>\nSnacks and Jockstraps is my favorite in the Haven Grove series. I kind of had a feeling it would be. I enjoy a well written, later in life, awakening book. Casey Joe was broken af and I really feel that Bryce was the only one capable of helping Casey Joe save himself. Their connection was undeniable from the start and if either of them tried to say otherwise they are big ol liars! While I&#8217;m super sad this is the last book in the series, I&#8217;m also happy this particular story was the one to end it. It was a wonderful end to the series.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Snacks &amp; Jockstraps is a steamy, bi+ awakening, M\/M romance between the beloved Riggs family patriarch who is under the impression he doesn\u2019t deserve anything good, and a small-town guy determined to find happiness by returning to his roots.* Casey Joe is a handful.
