Rate this book
It’s been seven years since Payce started his new life, and it was finally starting to feel comfortable…almost. But when his past catches up to him, Payce has to decide if he’s going to deal with the things he left behind, or if he’s going to keep running. When his friends, Damien and Dax need help, Payce is forced to confront the one person who knows him better than himself, Braxton and the one who made him lose everything he held dear, Aaron. Seeing them both could change everything for Payce. When past passions reignite, who will get burned in the end?

When I sit down to start a Piper Kay book, I know I'm in for a treat. I know it will be good and I know I can count on some hot and heavy sex!
popcorn

Where to start... Well, Pacey's passion picks up where A Perfect Passion left off. Payce and Braxton have a history that's left them both feeling emotionally empty. Best friends turned into one night of passion between the two of them and then they're separated by ego and misunderstanding. After seven years apart Payce and Brax will be forced to deal with their history.


We immediately start with Damien and Dax. I thought it was strange that they got such a big part at the beginning and we didn't get to see how or why Payce comes into the picture until chapter 3. However, it does all come together and is important to the story line, so I'm ok with it. Plus I really LOVE Team DD or (Daxien)!!

"Goddamn he smells so fucking fuckable."


I really need to talk about how Piper Kay writes a sex scene. Ummm FUCK YA!! Holy cock-grab sneak attacks, glitter dicks and bumping nasties, I was ready to start humping my kindle. When Payce and Brax first touch... it was explosive and perfect! I thought that entire scene was well written and PERFECT. Definitely a 2 finger 1 handed read moment! Actually I could say that about all the sex scenes. I think my feelings about the sex scenes that Piper Kay writes can be best described in a series of gifs.

HOLY SHIT THATS HOT!
hottest kiss in the world

OMG WHAT IS HE DOING WITH HIS HAND!

Here are a few quotes if you're not convinced from the gifs...

"Just the way he eye fucks me makes my cock stiffen with a twinge, and a chill shoots down my spine; I erupt in goose bumps. He presses against his own cock, I know he's trying to calm the ache behind the boxers, but I don't want him calming anything right now."


"I don't yell, Brax, but if you keep talking and moaning like that, you're going to be on your knees in front of me sucking me off."



There are a lot of funny parts in this little novella and I'm pretty sure most of them are centered around Sparky. Sparky, aka Serge, is my favorite side character. I love his little flaming ass! (Side note: read the Epilogue: Passions Pride) The entire cast is pretty funny but Sparky is really the icing on the cake.

"Shit, I'm surprised my glowing halo didn't blind you fuckers when I walked in."


"It's a wonder I don't stay in permanent boner mode when he's around."


"I told you that you couldn't handle me, mother fucker."



Now for some of the things I didn't like. Aaron, why oh why did we have to bring Aaron back? I get it... he is the connection in the story but he didn't really do anything significant except continue to get the shit beat out of him. And the way Brax an Payce were talking about him when they were young, I almost felt sorry for him and wanted him to redeem himself. I thought that the story line was ok but could have been stronger if taken in a different direction.

What direction? I have no idea. Maybe someone from prison is trying to kill Brax to get at Payce. Maybe Brax was a witness to a murder and that's why they keep pushing each other away... to protect the other. Hell maybe they need to go on a journey through middle earth to destroy a ring that could end the world as we know it. Then along the way they could meet up with a community of sexy ass male elves who are masters of pleasure and passion and all they want to do is have awesome orgies and show you how fun kinky is. There can be wizards who create spells that give you crazy multiple orgasms and make you last all night until you pass out... Oh... sorry, I just spaced off in my own little world for a minute.


Overall, I really liked it. Piper Kay has a fantastic talent and I love reading whatever she writes. Her stories are good, characters are strong and her sex scenes are amazing!

I just have one thing left to say to Piper Kay...
Thank you

A Solid 4.5 Stars for Payce's Passion!!!!!

In Payce's Passion we get to meet up with Dax and Damien for a bit, but the real story is Payce and Braxton. And their story is HOT!

Payce has dealt with quite a bit and he thinks he is doing pretty well in his personal life, that is until he is asked to help out Damien and Dax and is thrown back into Braxton's life.

Braxton has always wondered what happened to Payce, but figures that what he felt was not the same that Payce felt all those years ago. When Payce shows up at "Braxton's Tavern and Grill" he is hoping that he can get the info he is looking for without running into the owner, well, we all know that some of the best laid plans don't work out the way we thought, or do they?

When Payce and Brax get together, the pages start to burn, but will that be a flash fire or can it be a never ending inferno? While they both hold the past close, is it time to let the past go and live in the present?

Payce and Brax's story is one of love, pain, and forgiveness. They both have to forget the past and leave all that behind. And what happens next is just an amazing story that pulls you in and doesn't want to let you go. And while we get to see a bit of Dax and Damien we also get to meet Ash and Serge, who will star in the next book. I can't wait to get my hands on that one and burn up my kindle again.

Loved this book!!!

Payce’s Passion starts off basically where A Perfect Passion ends. Damien and Dax are trying to live their happily ever after with the specter of Aaron and his outrageous and violent behaviour hanging over their heads.
We quickly learn that Aaron has made bail and been released from jail until his trial. When Aaron goes on the run, Damien calls in a mutual friend to help ferret him out before Dax decides to take the task on himself.

Payce is introduced in chapter three. And, boy is he introduced in a big way! Payce’s opening scene is nothing short of epic and scorching in its hotness! You know right away that Payce is a hard (pun intended), ‘take no prisoners’ sort of guy. You instantly wish you were in his partner’s position in this scene…until…he’s called to help his friends deal with their current situation with Aaron. It turns out, Payce is also fiercely loyal to his friends, and he would have to be, to drop what he is doing when the call for help comes in. ;-)

Payce soon realizes that his search for Aaron is leading him directly to his past. A past he has tried to let go to protect the only man he’s ever loved. Enter, Braxton. Once, Payce’s best friend until one night of passion made them more. What should have been a beginning for them, turned quickly into an ending instead.

Soon, we’re introduced to Sparky, who is absolutely adorable and hilarious! He is a ball of energy and a total scene stealer. Every time he exits stage left you can’t wait for him to return.

Payce and Braxton are reunited after seven years and start to navigate the waters of what a renewed relationship for them can mean and how to let past hurts go to see if a future is possible for them.

The chemistry between Payce and Braxton is combustible; making for some really steamy scenes tempered with some laugh out loud humour. Payce’s inner rant about the injustice of being forced to wear toe clenching dress shoes was a memorable moment to be sure.

We get to see new trust, coupled with old love develop into the possibility a bright future for Payce and Braxton while the setup for the next book in the series is seamlessly weaved into the story with the development of, Serge (AKA Sparky) and Ash’s characters, who will become the focus of book three.

If you don’t like a cliff-hanger, stop reading when Payce and Braxton’s story is wrapped up at the end of chapter 25. However, if you’re up for some torture, continue on past the acknowledgements page to the epilogue. If you love Sparky as much as I do you might want to skip the epilogue, which I suspect will also be the prologue for book three, and wait until book three is released to read it.

All in all I really enjoyed this book. It had lots of hot scenes, humour and romance. I can’t wait to see how things develop for Serge and Ash in book three.

I was blown away by the first book in this series (A Perfect Passion) Damien and Dax's story was so special I fell in love with them and didn't think their story could be topped. Boy was I wrong,Piper Kay really out did herself. Payce and Braxton's story is so in your face delicious I was on cloud nine reading the entire book.Not only did Piper inject some delightful humor (I laughed so hard my side kept cramping up)into this book but her characters are so well rounded you start to feel what they feel (wait til you meet Serge aka sparky,I adore him).I had never read m/m before the first book in the series and I was pleasantly surprised at what awaited me. Piper Kay has the ability to make you see two human beings in a relationship,she deals with the heart in such a way you become blind to the packaging we all come in but only aware of the soul. This installment far surpassed the first book,and I know the next one will be even greater. Hooray for Piper Kay!!! Well done!!

Five stars +++++

Another amazing M/M love story from Piper Kay.
This is Payce and Braxton's ultimate love story with that HEA we as readers thrive for. The characters are strong and sexy as hell, full of passion and desire, throw in the whimsical character Serge for a touch of comic relief and you have a complete cast. Mistakes made, prices paid and love rekindled, this story has it all, oh and don't forget the hot, steamy sex.

Not left on a cliff-hanger, for which I am grateful, Piper, one of the best M/M author of 2014 left a delicious promise of more to come.

Bravo Piper Kay

This is the latest novel, Payce's Passion in The Passion Series by Piper Kay!

Payce has started a new life after seven years and he is finally feeling comfortable, well almost! Payce has to decide if he will leave his past behind him or run without looking back. His hot friends, Damien and Dax and I mean hot from the, A Perfect Passion book needs his help which means he has to face his past. Braxton knows Payce even better than Payce knows himself. Now the guys have to confront their growing passion but who will get burnt!

The story picks right up with the hot men, Damien and Dax from The Perfect Passion as Damien has decided to call his friend Payce to help with the crazy ex, Aaron. All they want is to live a happily ever after life but that seems easier than done with the drama that is coming their way. Aaron has made bail and released until his trial starts. Now that Aaron goes on the run, Damien calls a friend to help find him before Dax decides to take matters in his own hands.

Payce has now been entered into the story and what a hot way he was introduced with some hot and epic steamy scenes. I really wanted to be a part of this amazing hot scene as it was so amazingly written. I loved how loyal Payce was with his friends and even though he is a tough guy, he drops everything to come to the aid of his friends in need. Payce soon knows that the search for Aaron will bring him directly in the path of his own past. He has tried to leave behind all the emotions that include was the love of his life, Braxton. What I felt was so sad was that Braxton was Payce's best friend until one night of shear complete passion made them more than friends. What was to be the start of something beautiful and hot turned out to be the beginning of the end. I loved the character of Sparky (aka Serge) as he was so funny and sweet that when he wasn't in the scene, you start thinking, where's my Sparky! Piper Kay created such a great character in him and man this Sparky knows how to steal a scene.

Payce and Braxton are reunited after seven years and your so rooting for them as a couple. The beautiful connection between these men is undeniably hot and sweet. Now they have to see if their renewed love can overcome their past hurts. The hot steamy scenes between these men was so incredibly hot to read that I wanted it longer if that was at all possible. As we are thinking of the possible love future of Payce and Braxton, the setup of the 3rd book is woven into the series which is going to be amazing. I can't wait for is the story of Sparky and Ash to develop as I love them.

If you love cliff-hangers than you will love this one and it includes the beloved character of Sparky as I just love that guy. Will Payce be able to find Aaron before he causes too much damage? Will Payce and Braxton have an HEA? I can't tell you how much I highly recommend this beautifully and brilliantly written story by Piper Kay. Everyone who reads this review must read Payce's Passion as you will not want to miss out on a great story and the most interesting characters that I have come across in a long time. If you like reading about love, lust, loyalty, passion, drama and great writing by Piper Kay, than this is definitely the book for you.

4.5 HOT MALE-ICIOUS STARS

Well what can I say – I just love Piper Kay and the way she writes. It’s always so marvelously delicious that it leaves me wanting more.

Continuing on from a Perfect Passion, we see Damien and Dax again (Yaaay) who look to Payce for help with Damien’s super cray cray ex.

Piper introduces Payce perfectly into this story and he is one fine, hot, sexy man. They really all are – FINE HOT SEXY MEN….

Payce’s opening scene is scorching hot and leaves you breathless and hanging for more - until he receives a call from Damien… His whole persona changes to be there for his friend.

“I stop to inhale his aroma, gliding the tip of my nose underneath his hairline and gently nibble at the back of his neck. Goddamn he smells so fucking fuckable”

“You want what? Who do you want to fuck you?” I play with him like a cat with a mouse, giving him a playful swat on the ass.

“You, I want you,” he begs. I slap his ass hard, the sting tingles through my fingertips.

“Who?”

“You, Payce. I want you to fuck me, Payce.” He licks his lips.


The story focusses on Payce. How he is there to help Damien and Dax. And how his past runs into his present while helping out his friends.

He has a past which he has tried to deal with and leave behind. But will helping Damien and Dax bring it all to the forefront.? How will he face his past and how will he deal with it?

He’s been alone for a long time and seeing Damien and Dax together and happy is something he really wants to have – love and companionship. Enter Braxton (Brax), and OhhhMyyyGawd you will be craving for more.

Payce and Braxton share a past together – one of friendship which became more. But will they have a future together. Can they let go of the hurt from their past and move forward? Will their passion and lust for each other be enough? Will the truth bring forgiveness and happiness?

When Payce and Brax get together, the pages sizzle. They are so hot for each other that you are left craving more.

Payce
“Still so fucking sexy, Braxton.” I press my leg between his and raise my knee, rubbing against his crotch. A hungry growl hums from his throat and escapes his lips, I crush my mouth against his to swallow it.

“Mmmm… and you feel like you missed me, Payce,” he rumbles.

That’s it.

I take his mouth hostage, our tongues tango around each other, darting, pushing and pulling.

“Brax, I’m going to trace over every inch of your fucking gorgeous body with my tongue. No matter where you are or what you’re doing, where you look or touch yourself, you’ll always remember my tongue being there too.”


Piper brings her characters to life and makes everything feel so real with her storyline and dialogue. She describes and depicts them so perfectly that they are vividly stuck in your imagination. I wish I had some friends like Payce, Brax, Damien, Dax, Ash – and let’s not forget about the quirky and fanciful Serge. Yeap, I’d love some of these guys in my life.

Again, Piper brings us a story about unconditional love, no matter what your gender is, acceptance, passion, desire, pain and forgiveness.

Congratulations Piper Kay, can’t wait for Serge’s story in Passions Pride.

Starting off with a little update on Damien and Dax from Perfect Passion was a great way to start this book. But even better is how the main character, Payce, is introduced. A sexy scene that tantalizes the senses and sucks you in to get more of him and what makes him tick. When Damien asks for Payce’s help with a now dangerous situation with his ex, Aaron, he doesn't bat an eye and its all business. It doesn't hurt that he and Aaron has a past and he knows how to find him. It may take a little time, but he will get the job done for his friend. However, all work and no play aren't in the cards for Payce.

Payce may not be the relationship kind of man, but he is all man. When he is face to face with Braxton again while looking for Aaron he is second guessing himself and his resolve. The heat and emotions start to turn up between them. He always knew where Braxton was, but he couldn't bring himself to face him. He didn't want to hurt him all over again. Did he do the right thing by leaving things the way he did with Braxton or was he being selfish and just saving himself?

I love the characters in this series. Both books have some hot scenes and likable characters. The story flows and moves right along from one book to the next. I love how each book is a complete story with the choice to snag a glimpse at the next book. Hey, at least you get a warning before you read the few pages and are left waiting for the next in the series. My “oh so favorite word” slurp made its presence known, however this time around I barely noticed.

This is definitely an 18+ read. Although it could be a stand-alone, I highly recommended starting with the first book in the series. Need a little dose of hot men? Then you won’t want to pass this one up. Thanks for a great read Piper Kay. Payce’s passion gets a well-deserved 4.5 stars. I can’t wait for the next book in the series. It sounds like a fun one.

Wow, I was so excited for this book after reading A Perfect Passion by Piper Kay cause I just had to know what was going to happen. I was not disappointed at all. Not only did Payce's Passion answer all the questions that you had to know after book one but damn if you couldn't help but loose a piece of you heart to Payce and Braxton!! The story picks right up with Damien and Dax which was so great. Let's face those two men were just down right HOT!! Damien has decided to call his friend Payce to help with the psycho ex, Aaron. Payce of course has a past with Aaron so he agrees to help catch him. The only problem is that Payce is going to have to face the ghosts of his past while searching for his old buddy.


Payce doesn't do relationships. When the search for Aaron leads him to his one and only love, Braxton, the fireworks immediately start exploding. Braxton wants the truth from Payce. After seeing Braxton, Payce is one giant emotional mess and realizes that he has been lonely and if he wants another shot with Brax then he is gonna have to risk losing him by telling the truth about their past.


I loved these two men as much as Damien and Dax from A Perfect Passion. Payce is all alpha male and Braxton is just one sexy smexy male. The passion between these two are addicting. The sex scenes are smokin HAWT!! The romance is just so endearing that you find yourself going "AWE" quite a bit. I just loved it. The secondary characters of Serge aka Sparky and Ash will have you standing up cheering: I hope they open their eyes and see that they are perfect for each other. OH. wait that's BOOK 3 .....YAY!!!! You know you have read a great book when you have to message the author and whine cause book 3 is eons away- yep I totally did that!! So if you need some sizzling steamy men in your life go get this book its so worth it! (Just a note: Start with A Perfect Passion first)

I did not read the first book in this series, but I didn't feel lost.
I am in the minority with my rating, and I know that. I don't think this book was bad, I liked the premise, I liked the characters.
However, the writing style was not for me and I found that it just repeatedly pulled me out of the story.
Payce is a good character-owns a Harley, works construction, wears leather and wife beaters, what's not to like? He's also loyal--to a fault.
Braxton was another good character, the lover that was crushed and left behind but is now thriving and good for him for not just immediately rolling over for Payce.
I love Sparky...LOVE him. So adorable and he was probably the most consistent character and the one most vividly described.
Dax and Damien were enjoyable as well, though I realize that I missed their book, I still got a good feel for them.
There was some hotness...
I mean Brax has nipple and cock piercings
[image error]
So thank you for that.
Oh, and that Harley I mentioned earlier? Yes...there was sex-on-a-bike. Kudos!
While I appreciate the alternating POVs, and I do, it was just the voice of the characters, the constant inner dialogue where I felt I was being told everything and not seeing it or feeling it like I could be. Some of the dialogue was a little awkward as well, especially during the sex scenes and I found some inconsistencies in the characters attitudes and behaviors, but I try not to read too much into those things as they were in a scary and familiar yet unfamiliar situation so perhaps it was called for.
I would not discourage anyone from reading this, it simply didn't work for me.

I didn’t know that this was the second book in the series so the first couple of chapters were a bit confusing for me, however, I was able to catch up with the previous story quickly.

Payce and Braxton are likable guys and the sex was incredibly hot. I really enjoyed their shared backstory as teenagers trying to survive the streets on their own. While there was a decent story-line here, I think it was lacking focus and certain plot lines should have been expanded upon. Some of the dialogue was stiff and did not feel natural. There was one scene with Brax where there was an ‘announcer’ type of inner monologue that felt totally artificial and completely pulled me out of the story. It was an actual “WTH am I listening to?” moment.

Sparky was a great character and his vibrance helped to keep the book from being angst-ridden. I had a couple of laugh-out-loud moments and they were all attributed to Sparky. This book is correctly tagged as erotica. There are a lot of sex scenes and some are unbelievably hot. *Cough* Motorcycle sex *cough, cough* Rex J. Silverton did a good job with his narration and his voice only improved the sexiness.

Overall, I enjoyed the story and it was great to listen to while I was at work!

Payce has been 7 years without Braxton, and now, in a favour for Damien and Dax, they are thrown back together. When Braxton learns why Payce left, will he be forgiven?? or will that secret come back to ruin it all, again??

i enjoyed this much better than A Perfect Passion. i gave that 3 stars. much of the reasons for that have been recitified, the changes from person to person are now headed, and the editing is much MUCH better.

Payce is a deep dark character, using sex to get by, not letting anyone in. Brax stole his heart, and no one else will get it. when these two finally come together, its super hot, and sexy and actually very tender, in a M/M up-against-the-wall-kinda-way!

the general plot is lacking though, more could have been made of Aaron and what he is up to, rather than the way it goes down. i felt it needed more UMPH towards the end.

but like i said, a much better read than the first one, and i will be looking out for Sparky and Ash's tale. cos that got me thinking, that little bit at the end!!

Becky Reviews Payce’s Passion by Piper Kay

http://www.mrsconditreadsbooks.com/?p...

REVIEW: I loved Dax and Damien in A Perfect Passion but Payce’s Passion is Payce and Braxton’s story and Piper Kay really ratchets the heat up several notches in this book! Get a glass or three of cold iced tea and turn on the a/c to read this one.

Payce and Braxton knew each other years ago and Braxton has never forgotten Payce. Payce has tried to forget Braxton, unsuccessfully. When he is trying to get information without talking to Braxton he is equally unsuccessful, throwing the match on the tender. Whoosh! What a fire they ignite, too!

I love Piper Kay’s voice in her books. Her stories are by turns rough, funny, sexy, and full of angst. I enjoyed betting to see Dax and Damien again so we know they are not only doing well, they are great together. We get to see Ash and Serge, who will get their story next. I love the way the series builds each story to a climax yet offers a hint of what is to come next. This is a wonderful romance that happens to feature two men who are very masculine men.

Payce has been 7 years without Braxton, and now, in a favour for Damien and Dax, they are thrown back together. When Braxton learns why Payce left, will he be forgiven?? or will that secret come back to ruin it all, again??

So I started reading this and realized this is not the first of the series lol. I was confused and thinking WTF is going on? what did I miss? I searched and searched and realized it's the second. I have done this before and I never go back to read the first one. I started so I don't want to stop. Sometimes it's a hit and sometimes a miss. This was a hit and thankful I didn't need THAT much background from book 1. Some stuff would of been nice, but not needed. I liked Damien and Dax and could tell something BIG went on with this Aaron character so I may have to go back and read book 1 so I know ALL the details. But Payce is on the hunt for Aaron after he gets out of jail and breaks into his friends house. And Aaron leads him straight to a flame from his past. He tries to avoid it. But isn't able to. You can feel the connection between the two and it's sizzling. It was nice a second chance at love. Serge was probably my favorite character. He was so sweet and adorable and I love him to pieces. All in all everything worked out by the end and it was an enjoyable read :-)

Payce and Braxton's story is one full of friendship , protectiveness and understanding that sometimes you sacrifice for others.
Payce is friends with Damien and Dax who had asked for his help with the situation with Aaron. This takes him to the place and the person he left behind 7 years ago.
Braxton has become a successful bar and restaurant owner and has been always wanting an answer of why Payce left him.
Payce goes into Braxton's place of business and tries to find Aaron ... Not knowing that will put him close to Braxton ...
Payce and Braxton's relationship starts shifting ... They need to let go of the past in order to move forward.
So many things ... So much need for forgiveness and so much need to finally realize the true love between them.
I also love the addition of Serge ( Sparky ) and Ash to the story.
I recommend this book.

4.5 Stars!!! So Sexy!!!

Payce and Braxton have a history that can not be forgotten and story that needs to be told!!!

I truly loved the first book in this series and Piper did not disappoint in Payce's Passion. We again are reacquainted with Damien and Dax but the soul of the story is Payce and Braxton.
Theses handsome, sexy men have a story that needs to be told and a history that can't be forgotten. They each have grown and changed in their own ways but when they reunite neither can deny the attraction they still have for each other. It is a beautiful story of moving past mistakes and taking hold of the future.
The supporting cast was funny and was a great addition to the antics and crazy dialogue. I am so looking forward to Serge's story!!! Well done Ms. Piper !!!!

Payce's Passion in my opinion is the best book to date.

This story is filled with romance, HOT passion and a lot of laughs. Payce and Brax have such a special connection and between them their emotions oozed from the pages like syrup.
Clever as Piper is in writing m/m erotica/romance, for me she created something very special in these two characters that i could relate to, get to know well and fall in love with easily. I was behind Payce and Brax cheering them on, fighting their corner for them to get through all they had to deal with. I wanted them to resolve their pasts like a friend would and was there with them all the way to the end.

I've nothing but praise for Piper Kay and her amazing ability to get into the mind of a man to bring such wonderful characters to life.

I bought this book, opened it up and didn't put it down until I was finished. It was just that hard to put down, you just couldn't.
This was the follow up book to A Perfect Passion and the second story in this intriguing series. I love the way the author brings forward the next or new characters from previous books that we think we know, then blows us away with their past struggles. This relationship between Payce and Braxton has the hottest of the hottest insta-wet moments to date. I thought my Kindle was going to catch fire they were magnificently written and burning up the screen!!! I loved everything about this story.There is nothing that is better than true undying love. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES AND THIS BOOK!!!

Payce's Passion is an entertaining--the entertaining part mostly due to a lovable character named Serge AKA Sparks--sexy tale about a friend who's willing to do anything to protect those around him, even if it means putting himself in dangerous and seedy situations.

Payce is a man that loves deep but never allows anyone to love him in return. Braxton is hurt, but still willing to embrace the love he has for Payce, all Payce has to do is let him in. Sounds simple enough? It should be, but of course it isn't. Piper Kay takes us on a complicated and often times emotionally frustrating tour of the tatters of Payce's soul. If that sounds like something readers should be angry about, trust me, it isn't, you're going to love the ride.

Wow I loved this book I especially love seeing characters from A Perfect Passion another one of my favorite reads so far this year. We see that Damien and Brax have a tortured history together that includes the crazy idiot Aaron. Payce and Brax are beyond cute together and we get to see kind of happiness for Serge aka Sparky I just love Sparky he is the comic relief though now I am officially worried about him. This is a very hot sexy read soooooo good oh please more Ms. Kay please don't make us wait.........

Piper Kay's 2nd book in the Passion series is wonderful. Payce & Braxton were childhood friends who became each others family and then found out there could be more. Payce had to care for all in his "family" and has been away from Brax for seven years. Payce's help for Damien & Dax brings Brax back into his life. The story of helping and rediscovery for your friends is Piper at her best. We met Serge and Ash in this book and they are Book three--I can't wait for this next story.

Thanks Piper Kay & Good Writing

Damon this is a hot book

Good M/M read. I didn't read the first book so I will do that but for this book with Payce and Braxton is hot. Payce takes a job for a friend and his past comes in play and he has to learn to let his emotions and people in. Brax loves Payce and always had. They both meet again and can they pick up after 7 years? A great book

Pretty good.

I like this series. Sometimes it seems off, like the dialogue isn't flowing right. But the bones of the stories are really good. The characters are very loveable. I am looking forward to Serge's story, he was great, silly and fun yet obviously much more complex.
