ā¤ļøReview Bastian is known for being grumpy and demanding when it comes to running his familyās vineyard but that is because he is so invested in ensuring its success.

Constance loves her job and the friendships she has built while working at the winery and doesnāt want anything to jeopardize it. She believes that if things donāt work out with Bastian she will be the one who loses everything as she finds her heart battling with her head.
The heat between them is electric, the banter between them is humorous and Constanceās feisty personality is the perfect match for Bastian who will do whatever is necessary to ensure she achieves all her dreams as long as they include them.
Ashley James is a romance author who enjoys writing (and reading) LGBTQIA+ books. She is from Washington Stateāand no, not Seattleāand currently resides in South Carolina with her two kids and hairless kitties, Goose, Maverick, and Houston. Ashley is introverted and slightly (okay, majorly) awkward. She refuses to make this section sound like a tacky dating app profile, so she won’t be telling you how much she enjoys music, how she thoroughly enjoys dancing and singing in her kitchen, despite not being able to carry a tune, and she won’t be telling you about her love of toxic and broken fictional men.
When I find out I could lose my bookstore, I make a deal with the devil to save it, not realizing I would end up in bed with the last person I ever thought Iād be hot and sweaty withā¦
Fletcher St. James
Even at twenty-four, heās a spoiled brat. He believes the whole world owes him something, and he really needs to be put in his place.
When his wealthy, power-hunger father propositions me with something I desperately need in exchange for teaching his son a little responsibility, itās an offer I canāt refuse.
After all, thereās nothing I enjoy more than humbling an arrogant man and bringing him to his knees.
This should be a piece of cake.
But one thing I didnāt expect was how much Fletcher would enjoy itā¦ Or how much that would turn me on. The tension quickly boils over, and before I know it, weāre giving in to our illicit desires, consequences be damned.
I crave the feeling of his body against mine, and the needy sounds he makes right before he begs.
But more than that, I canāt get enough of the little things, like the way the golden sun looks reflecting off his green eyes in the morning, or how beautiful his vulnerability is.
And when his touch becomes my safe space, bringing out a softer side of me Iāve kept locked away for too long, itās impossible to remember why this is wrong.
When the secrets come out about the lascivious things we indulge in behind closed doors, will it be worth it, or will this deal end up costing me everything?
šReviewš With the future of her bookstore in jeopardy Georgia will do whatever is necessary to save it even if that means supervising Fletcher, her stepbrother. All she needs to do is ensure that he completes his MBA in the allotted timeframe, what could possibly go wrong?
Fletcherās father has grown weary with his inability to take anything seriously as he wants him to take over the family business. With the leverage that his father holds over Georgia he now finds himself being challenged by her at every turn and as the heat between them escalates he is more than willing to do whatever she asks while loving every minute of it.
The heat between Fletcher and Georgia was incredible and I really enjoyed how they helped each other become better versions of themselves. Muffy Newtonās performance of Georgia demonstrated both her strength and emotions while Sebastian York allowed us to feel the evolution of his character from immature to realizing what really matters.
When the one you love ā but shouldnāt ā is taken……you fight like hell to get them back.
Adam DuBois is a true heroāa Navy SEAL dedicated to his team and country. You can see it in everything he does.
Thatās what I tell people when they ask me about him.
But heās so much more than a hero.
Weāve been through hell and back since we were two eighteen-year-old guys trying to survive boot camp. Fast forward eight years, and weāre still friends ā albeit with benefits, at least on Adamās part. I fell in love along the way, while Adam discovered a love for myā¦uhā¦finer assetsānot that the world knows that.
Itās forbidden.
So, we hidāmy feelings for him, and his unquenchable thirst for whatās in my pants.
All because we love the Navy, love being SEALs, and DADT said we had to.
But everything changed when Adam was captured. Now, all I care about is bringing him home.
Alive.
And I donāt care who finds out about us.
Saving Him is an MM Military Romance set at the end of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. It’s a coming out story of finding love under extreme pressure with a person you’re forbidden to be with and finding acceptance where you least expect it.
