Delectable
Welcome to Delectable Vines, the home of guardians for the Tuatha de Danaan. They’re located in the rolling hills of Virginia just east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. They create beverages preferred by Fae and humans alike. They also protect a treasure that in the wrong hands could throw off the balance of humans and Fae peacefully co-existing.
They have been working and living in this small community waiting to find the final piece of their family for several years. On Beltaine, he shows up. But it's several months later before they're able to find Xeno again.
Now, they’re trying to figure out why Xeno is affected by a mead created specifically for the Fae. Could he possibly be Fae? And, if so, who is his father?
Apple Mead by West Thornhill
Book one in the Delectable Vines series
After a nasty break-up, Xeno decides to try something new. He’s not completely ready for what happens next.
For one night Xeno wants to be the centre of someone’s attention. He doesn’t bargain on becoming the most important member of the Fae guardians.
Xeno’s life suddenly changes when he takes another chance with the five men he met on Beltaine. Seeing them again awakens not only Xeno’s deep-seated desires but also a connection the Fae need.
What happens when Xeno agrees to move in? How will that impact the rest of his life? Xeno is about to find out the answers to those questions and a whole lot more. Is he ready to find out the truth and embrace his life as a member of the Fae? Only Xeno can answer those questions. Should be an interesting journey.

My first m/m/m/m/m/m ...
Ok, I LOVE m/m/m and so this sounded like double the fun!
Since there are SIX men in this one.
I do have to say I was a little confused, it felt a little like I was dropped into a story that I should know more about, but I didn't.
There is the paranormal aspect of the 5 men being Fae guardians, that was mentioned in this book but plays NO role as far as I can tell, at least not in this book.
This story is only about the 5 men finding their beauty in Xeno and knowing he's who they need to complete their circle, or whatever, that they need to complete. That's it, finding Xeno having sex, more sex and some more and convincing him to move in, but that's it. ( he doesn't really need all that much convincing..)
I have NO clue to an actual storyline in this short, maybe in the next book.
And I might even read it...

While I like m/m/m I am coming to the realization that more doesn't really work for me. There is too much confusion about who is who and they always seem to end up splitting off because you can only have 6-some sex so often. This also hops back and forth from present to past to explain WHY they are looking for Xeno and there is little information given about the fae, the treasure, their role, etc. It's just a set-up of them getting together and having lots of sex. I don't think I'll go further as I find the series that release very little information each edition frustrate me. It feels like a trick to get me to keep buying, just enough teaser. This is my opinion, not saying it's the reality, but it doesn't work for me. So 6 is interesting and of course being Fae they are all model-worthy, so it's worth it to read if that piques your interest and you might decide to continue on.

A quick reading story that was heavy on the sexual connection between the five (yes 5) Fae men who live together in a house, and the one man that they all want to join them.
The story was clever in plotting, but the whole Fae connection was trotted out only occasionally, without real explanation or purpose that I could find. I could, however, appreciate the connection, more shown than felt, between the men, and a touch of their personal history was presented. This was, however, a short novella, just around 60 pages, and the depth of characterization and emotional impact were lacking, and as I mentioned before, I didn’t see a reason behind the Fae connection.
This is the first in a 2 part series, so I am hoping that the Fae connection is explained in the second book. But, for a quick read with plenty of M/M and M/M/M and even M to the 5th or 6th power ménage, this book has that in spades: steamy, descriptive and sensual.
I received an eBook copy of the title from the publisher for purpose of honest review for The Jeep Diva. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility
