Cedar Falls #23
Between the Sheets
Welcome to Cedar Falls, a small North Carolina town nestled amongst the Smokey Mountains. Where the people are friendly and the men are hot.
The biggest election Cedar Falls has ever had has arrived. What better way to cover it than starting a newspaper? Jonathan Grier never would’ve considered taking the job if he hadn’t been humiliated and banned from every other publication. Had he known just how insane the town really was, he might have decided to work in retail instead.
Drex Kershaw had been part of a military special forces unit until an injury ended his career. Determined to make a new life for himself, he discovered Jonathan, who needed him more than anyone he’d saved in the past. But if Drex had any hope of finding happiness with Jonathan, he may just have to paddle the snarky cynicism right out of him.
The election of the century, or at least for another four years, has finally arrived. Will Jesse win, or will he end up throwing the biggest temper tantrum of his life?

Squeeeeeeee!! Election time has come. The candidates are making their speeches and some sabotaging them. Of course, Jesse gets payback lol. But it's finally come down to the time to get ready to vote and Cedar Falls finally decided they needed a reporter for the new paper, Between the Sheets.
Jonathan has washed out as a reporter. No one will hire him anymore. It's going to take forever for him to get his rep back and get back in the big leagues. If ever. Which is why he was surprised that someone wanted to hire him. Even if it is a little town. But after dealing with Washington and it's politics, Jonathan is a little prejudiced when it comes to everyone singing the praises of Jesse Grant. Especially with all the stunts he's pulled. But everyone defends him and tries to explain why. Jonathan just doesn't want to hear it. When he's trying to interview Zane, he gets a good glimpse of Drex and mentally drools. But his attitude at having to wait is making him pissy and Drwx has had enough. To the point he's about to spank the crap out of him if he don't chill. But Jonathan runs away. And Drex is hooked. Something is calling Jonathan to him and he wants to find out what's making this man so pissy. And when others aren't looking, sad and lost. He eventually gets to the bottom of it, and shows Jonathan it doesn't have to be that way. Which also makes Jonathan really start paying attention to what's going on in town. And he has to admit, he pegged Jesse all wrong. If people really knew what Jesse did behind the scenes, it would be a shock. And what shocks Jonathan even more, is Jesse doesn't take credit for anything. Just remains anonymous. Between this elections and Drex, things seem to be looking up, bit with Jonathan's luck, how long will it last?
I was hoping for Drex to get someone and he did! And boy, does his boy need him. I wanted to smack Jonathan so many times for his attitude and the way he treated Jesse and anyone who spoke of him. It was so unfair. But it was all that he had inside him from his last that was dredging things up and made it hard for him. And Drex was the one that got through to him. Although, that was a battle in itself. But when Jonathan stepped foot in Drex's home, he felt like it was forever for him, and Drex felt the same. But his insecurities made him doubt and it was hard to get past.
It's another goodie. And I'm excited with the way it ended. I'm also sad because it's almost over for this series. It's been a wild ride. Jesse now basically has a crew that is forever up to no good, even though it's all in good fun. And it has been so much fun to read about their hijinks every book.

I love this series, I pretty much pick them up as soon as they come out. There doesn’t seem to be much I dislike about them, everything from the covers, to the characters I just love. However I was torn over the two main characters in this one, Drex, the dom, I liked but Jonathan was hard to like. It wasn’t til I finished the book that I found it refreshing that one of the characters disliked Jesse. As most of the subs usually follow him around like lost puppies it was a nice change. It was also nice to get to the big day.

This book started off a bit rocky. I didn’t really like Jonathan much and Drex was a bit high-handed in the way he treated Jonathan, but the book got better as it went along. Jesse and the election were by far the best thing about this story. Jesse continues to steal the show in every book and the so called main characters are really just back drop to the Jesse show. If you are a fan of the series and like Jesse in particular, I recommend this book. If you haven’t read any of the past stories, I wouldn’t start here. I think you would be hopelessly lost.

What a book. Long anticipated Election between Jesse Grant and Mayor Donald Murphy. Without giving the result away, I will say give me a macchiato. The story other than the long awaited election was about Drex and Jonathon. Jonathon character was hard to like at the start. I wanted to punch him so many times. But as always with the all the gang and Jesse true love may be a rocky road, but they will get there. Great book. Highly recommend.

VICTORY!!!
Finally someone worth having our loveable Jesse Grant is Mayor. I'm glad that Fred was able to see through Jonathons front and get through his pain to help him realize why he was acting toward Jesse the way he was. I would like to see more of the new friends with the group like Charles. It seems only the subs hang with Jesse get he himself is no sub.

Loved it!
Cedar Falls is a quirky little town with even weirder residents who make you fall in love with the town and all of them. I loved Drex and Jonathon and was excited to see the vote for mayor finally. Can't wait for more.
