man he thought loved him, James only just gets through the day by
painting. He lives in constant fear that he’s not worthy of
anything, let alone love.
As
CEO of his company, Carrington Enterprises, Seth Burns is a
take-charge kind of guy, and he is instantly smitten by the artist

panic attack, a protective instinct he never knew he had kicks in. He
truly believes nothing is unobtainable—including James—if he’s
willing to put in the time and effort.
James

Seth’s support, can he work through his fears to finally find the
true love he deserves, or will someone finally land the crushing blow

James Noble is a gender fluid gay man who gave up on finding Mister
Right a long time ago. He’s not asking for much, though. He just
wants a guy who loves all of him and appreciates his feminine form
too.
At
the local LGBTQ center where Alex regularly volunteers, he meets Dal
Sayer, an officer of the Milwaukee PD. Because he’s been rejected
one too many times, Alex doesn’t trust the huge cop and the
interest he shows in him, but once Dal sets his mind on something, he
goes all out. Pushing aside his preconceived notions, Alex opens up
just a little and soon caves.
From
their first date—while dealing with his father’s failing health
and his parents’ demands for him to settle down and have
children—Dal never takes his eyes off his goal of making Alex his.
But proving to Alex he isn’t like all the men who couldn’t see
him for who he truly was and only wanted to hide him away is harder
than he thought.
I fell into this book from the first page .

Simon Tyler a romance author who has not dated for a long while .
Adrian Keys arrives in his life .
Adrian is a I.T. Professor he is also deaf .
His deafness hasn't stopped in fulfilling his life but love always seems to escape him.
One thing in common is Chase who is in the previous books..
Adrian and Simon had friends who they could confide in and who were always there for both men.
They had a fair bit of sorting out not so much with their lives but with themselves and family .
Family is not always supportive .
Family can be cruel.
Sometimes you have to so what you think is right ...
A strong story that I enjoyed reading .
I have read books 1,2,3,in this series I applaud the author this series was very well written and flowed.
Book 5 Review: Desires Pride, a novella
5 stars
This was a beautiful short story about Rhys and Chase's wedding day ..
It was wonderful how Rhys thought all this through as that is what he truly wanted Chase as his husband.
When Chase knows about the change in marriage equality in Wisconsin they can tie the knot.
Extremely sweet and cute read , a perfect read for Rhys and Chase ..
I loved it .
