Teddy: If there’s one thing I don’t do, it’s commitment. You don’t become an award-winning photographer by staying in one place. I’m always on the road, looking for the next shot, the next award, the next hot body. Which is how I end up on Dr. James Marian’s front porch in the middle-of-nowhere Alaska. He’s known as the Wildlife Whisperer, and I want to photograph him in action. He’s reluctant at first, but I can be persuasive.

Soon enough I have him in bed saying yes over and over and over again, but my ability to shoot and scoot is frozen by a Denali snowstorm.

Jamie: I always thought of myself as the marrying type. Until I got left at the altar. Now I have a new motto: never commit and never fall in love. So when a cocky nature photographer decides I’m the key to his next masterpiece, it seems like the perfect arrangement: the hotshot’s only in town for a brief assignment and then he’ll be gone. No commitment, no strings, and no chance of getting my heart broken again.

There’s just one problem: I think I’m falling in love. Now I’m afraid that maybe I’m the marrying type after all. And he definitely is not.

While it can also be read on its own, Taming Teddy is the second in the new Made Marian series. Each book tells the story of one of the Marian brothers’ search for true love. The first in the series, Borrowing Blue, is available now.

I’ve known Savanna for over a decade. We only get to see each other one weekend a year at Writers On The River but it never fails to be an amazing time. I look forward to her giant squeeze hugs as well as the wonderful conversations we have at the after party. She is an amazing friend and I love her to pieces!

Blue: When my ex walks into the resort bar with his new husband on his arm, I want nothing more than to prove to him that I’ve moved on. Thankfully, the sexy stranger sitting next to me is more than willing to share a few kisses in the name of revenge. It gets even better when those scorching kisses turn into a night of fiery passion.

The only problem? Turns out the stranger’s brother is marrying my sister later this week.

Tristan: I have one rule: no messing with the guests at my vineyard resort. Of course the one exception I make turns out to be the brother of the woman my brother’s about to marry. Now we’re stuck together for a week of wedding activities, and there’s no avoiding the heat burning between us.

So fine, we make a deal: one week. One week to enjoy each other’s bodies and get it out of our system. Once the bride and groom say I do and we become family, it’ll all be over between us. Right?

Fair warning: Blue and Tristan’s story contains smoking hot scenes of man parts touching, pee-in-pants descriptions of grannies cursing, and the sweet improbability of two strangers finding their happily ever after when they least expect it.

Blue shows up for his sister’s wedding week and runs into his ex and his new man. Feeling sorry for himself he decides to drink away his problems. Enter sexy as all get out Tristian. He offers himself as a fake boyfriend. Tristian who I should probably mention is also straight.
I didn’t buy his straight story from jump because NO MAN kisses a man they way he did Blue, is straight. Not possible. The book had a couple villians that kept the angst at a good level. The meddling older people in the family were freaking hilarious.

EZRA

Bloodied and broken, I clawed my way out of hell at twelve years old.
Left a corpse behind and took with me only trauma.
I’m twenty-three now, and it’s no surprise I’m haunting the streets on the wrong side of the river, stealing to survive and provide for the one person who has ever cared for me.
Only, my seamless thefts have started drawing the wrong kind of attention.
Threatened into the dangerous task of breaking into Sinro Enterprises, a multi-billion dollar private military company, I soon find myself at the mercy of their ruthless, beautiful CEO.
Cain Vincent.
To say I’m attracted to the man is an understatement. He is the definition of lethal.
And when he discloses the truth about the hard drive I was supposed to steal, I’m desperate for him to take me under wing.
I want him.
I want to be strong like him.
I want to put an end to the criminals that threatened me and spread so much evil throughout this city.
But diving into mercenary work tends to summon demons.
And unfortunately, my demons won’t be laid to rest with just bullets.

CAIN

He makes me lose all control.
Ex-Special Forces and current CEO of Sinro Enterprises, I sacrifice my personal life and health to lead mercenary teams dedicated to wiping out high-profile criminals.
My working hours are endless.
My schedule is rigid.
I leave no room for normal things like relationships.
Until a pretty little thief breaks into my high-rise and shatters what I’d come to believe was peace.
I find myself hesitating to pull the trigger for the first time.
Ezra honestly thinks he can win me over.
Manipulate my emotions.
And yeah, I’ll admit I’ve never been so captivated by another person.
But I’ve been burned before.
I won’t tolerate betrayal.
If this kid so much as blinks those long eyelashes wrong, I won’t hesitate to kill him.

Ugh! These 2!
Ezra takes odd jobs for cash but his most recent “job” may be more than the homeless, 23 year old can handle. Hes hired to steal from Sinro Enterprises. This is a job for a professional, not a petty thief. He is caught rather easily by the companies CEO, Cain, and soon finds out nothing may be as it seems.
Ezra broke in to steal a hard drive. Cain should be able to torture information on who sent him, then kill the man no problem. So why is it that Cain now has Ezra living in his home. He cannot think anymore, this man is consuming him. When Cains best friend and right hand man suggests they hire Ezra, Cain couldn’t be more against it. Hes already feeling too much for the thief, he should really be distancing himself. But his heart seems to beat for only Ezra and Cain can’t seem to let him go.

This book had all the fun things! A forbidden love, angst galore, and several villains. I was addicted to the audio version which also helped me find a new narrator. I picked up this audiobook because it was narrated by Liam DiCosimo and I love him. I’m new to this author and will be checking out their backlist. I’m also new to the other narrator, Logan Anare and will be adding him to my list of favorites.

Tex
A hurricane’s rolling in fast when I see a stranded biker.
Small. Soaked. Terrified. Like the road finally ran out on him and he’s got nowhere left to go.
The first thing I notice about him is his eyes, the color of the Gulf before a storm.
He won’t speak. He won’t look at me. Just watches my hands like they might hurt him.
When I move too fast, he flinches. That tells me everything I need to know.
So I load up his bike and take him back to my bar.
He’s clearly running from something. Or someone.
Whoever he’s running from… they just ran into the wrong man.

Stormy
He’s the biggest man I’ve ever been this close to. Six-five. Maybe taller. Built like he could break me in half without trying.
Men that big usually hurt you. My hand drifts toward the knife in my pocket just in case.
I don’t give him my name. I don’t give him anything. I keep my eyes down. That’s the safest way to survive.
But he doesn’t get angry. He doesn’t push.
Instead he gives me a name like it’s a gift he wrapped himself.
Stormy.
For the first time in years, I want to stay. But the past doesn’t let people like me go that easily.

Stormy is an emotional M/M hurt/comfort romance about survival, healing, and finding safety in the last place you expect.
