Colt Paris is off-limits.

Their night together is everything... but is Silas just a big game to Colt, or will the quarterback allow Silas to finally claim him?

1,5/5

Leí esto mientras estaba en la sala de espera de un hospital. Tomé el teléfono buscando algo corto para pasar el rato y me topé con este libro (me atrajo la portada).

Soy culpable de no leer la letra pequeña y asumir cosas, pero vi la sinopsis súper por encima y mi mente juró que sería un slasher de terror en un estacionamiento estilo La matanza de Texas por la portada JAJAJA. No sé si fue el cansancio jugándome una mala pasada o mis ganas acumuladas de leer terror, pero de verdad me pasa de todo por leer rápido las sinopsis para no spoilearme 🤦🏻‍♀️.

​O sea, cuando leí en la sinopsis la parte de “demands Colt meet him in the back parking lot”, vete tú a saber qué cortocircuito hizo mi cerebro, porque en mi cabeza, Silas (el tipo del restaurante) iba a matar a Colt (quarterback) en el estacionamiento detrás de la tienda. Pero luego, cuando Colt aparece disfrazado exactamente como en la portada, pensé: «me va a matar a Silas, el loco es Colt». Pensé que uno iba a matar al otro y después que el otro iba a matar al uno, pero resulta que se empezaron a besar y quedé 🤡 JAJAJAJA. Resulta que no era nada de miedo, sino un romance MM spicy (yo juraba, chama, yo juraba). Iba con unas expectativas totalmente distintas.

Por otro lado, mencionan varias veces que se llevan 7 años de diferencia, pero nunca me quedó clara la edad exacta de los personajes. Al menos el menor de ellos es universitario y no de primer año, así que mejor lo ignoramos.

En general, la historia es bastante cringe en su mayoría. No estuvo del todo mal y no me pareció horrible, pero tampoco me hizo sentir absolutamente nada. Además, casi todo es spicy: fácil hay 2-3 escenas largas en un libro de menos de 40 páginas, así que no le puedo dar más estrellas.

Dejo esto por aquí como un recordatorio para mi yo del futuro: chama, por favor lee bien las sinopsis antes de llevarte chascos.

Silas works hard, inheriting a restaurant from his grandfather, increasing its profits whilst at College and then becoming manager he hasn't had much of a break. Hiring an evening manager has helped. But still Silas has stayed home, away from the dating scene. Why? Because he has eyes on only one man. A man whom he is quite sure is off limits.

Colt has been showing up at the restaurant on a regular basis for the last three years, shamelessly flirting and leaving Silas wishing for more. Colt is a College student and a talented football player and it seems he loves the food and the flirt he gets with Silas.

Silas is closing up when the drive-thru call from Colt comes. Colt is on his way home from a Halloween party and wants noting more than to flirt. He is in luck. Silas is tired, wants to pack up and go home. Summoning all his courage he demands Colt meet him in the car park. The rest... Well it is HOT! Steamy. Funny and did I say HOT. I will leave you to find out just how the rest unfolds...

I know, what a tease but then so is West Greene, almost every word in the book is a tease, all building up to something very hot and steamy but no blushing please, this is a well-written, clever, charming and funny romance. Hearts will be bursting with joy after reading this one.

🧡🎃 I think it's time we stop playing around. Don't you? 🎃🖤

"He whined, and my restraint snapped. I wanted to hear him whine my name like that while I was b**** deep inside him. Wanted to hear him whimper and beg and moan and plead as I f***** him hard and fast and raw."

"I think it's time we stop playing around. Don't you?"

"One night with him would never be enough. Not after seeing how easily he submitted to me. How needy he was. How god**** perfect he was for me. I needed to claim him. Own him. Make him mine forever. Never let him escape me."

"I was Silas's pumpkin. I'd be his anything so long as it meant I got to keep him."

This was a very short and fast spicy read. I really love everything this author writes and the spice is always spicy 🔥🔥🔥. This was spicy but also cute. In this one Silas and Colt have been pining after each other for some time. Colt comes by Silas's restaurant to annoy him and see him. He comes very close to closing time and begs for some food. Silas snaps and asks him to meet him in the parking lot and it gets steamy 🔥🔥🔥. These two become inseparable and insatiable. They let their love build and connection grow. I loved how Colt was the football, beefy star and the needy bottom. I loved how Silas was the older and more lean top. These two were sweet, spicy, and so cute together. I can't wait to read more stories by this author! 🧡🖤🎃

Oh la la
I’ve got to say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s a short read and has a Halloween theme but that didn’t distract me at all. So we have Silas who has a lot on his plate at a young age he had to take over run/owning the restaurant, going to college and everything in between. His night manager is in hospital because of appendicitis, so Silas has done a hell of a long day. two minutes before he is locking the doors up, somebody drives through the drive-through. And wouldn’t you believe it is Colt, a promising student at college. He is an outstanding quarterback, and he is the temptation that Silas just can’t seem to get past. And tonight is the night that Silas just can’t take anymore.
The passion that these two share is outstanding, even through, the teasing and temptation stage these two had a connection. I could not put this book down and I am smiling was given this review. A really good heart warmer.

SHORT BUT STEAMY AND DEBAUCHED!💕

Oh how I love this authors short stories and this one was a real treat! 🎃

Quarterback for his college- Colt Paris has been pining for the sexy restaurant owner Silas since he stepped into the restaurant three years ago and flirts outrageously with the older man until the third year at Halloween 👻 at the drive through at the end of a double shift, when Silas utters these words:

“Meet me in the back parking lot,”
“I think it’s time we stop playing around,”
“Don’t you?”

Silas has been pining for the sunshiny quarterback ever since he first saw him smile and knows all his orders off by heart but this night Silas wants to finally pound that gorgeous ass and that is what he does in the parking lot…

These two characters were made for each other but will this just be a one night thing or have they finally made the move for a perfect future?…

I want MORE of these two!! Colt has been coming by Silas restaurant for the last three years just so he could see him, even if it was for only a few minutes. One night after an extremely long day Silas has had enough and takes things into his own hands. 🖤🔥🎃🔥🖤

My favorite quotes:

• Colt: Silas growled, pulling back to look at me through hazel eyes that were more green than gold. They reminded me of a field at the very beginning of fall, when everything was just starting to die, yet the scenery still looked so damn beautiful.

• Silas: And when he sank into my embrace, his cheek resting on my shoulder, his face tucked into the curve of my neck, every muscle in my body loosened.

Colt Paris was mine.

[C.B. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Delightfully, hot! Silas, owns his own business and is finally running in the black. He has cleverly, increased productivity and processes through hard work. He spends his free time, lusting after Colt who seems determined to get on his last nerve, every day. Colt, in his effort to get Silas' attention, makes a nuisance of himself while wallowing in frustration of his unrequited crush. Colt, asks for service 2 minutes before closing time at the end of a long trying day. West, takes us through a stressful situation and lets us know how it works out, from both sides. Sadly, it's a very short story and I would love a longer verson. Good strong characters, surprisingly sweet. Nicely done! I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

[Emma Collins · Rating 5 out of 5]

His Quarterback Pumpkin is a sizzling, fast-paced MM Halloween romance that delivers on every level. Colt Paris is the forbidden temptation, and Silas is the irresistible man who can't resist him any longer. Their chemistry is electric, and the steamy scenes between them are off the charts.

This short read packs a punch with its intensity, passion, and playful tension. The buildup to their encounter is perfectly executed, and their night together is everything fans of steamy romances crave. The ending leaves you with a satisfying sense of longing, making it impossible not to fall for this story. A must-read for anyone looking for a hot, quick, and steamy romance!.

“I think it’s time we stop playing around,” I told him. He swallowed thickly, his eyes burning for me. I stepped closer and gripped his hip, yanking him against me. A tiny whimper crawled up his throat when he felt my cock press against his own hard one. I smirked and tilted my head to the side the slightest bit as I stared at him. “Don’t you?”

I loved this story. It was a fun, sexy quick read. I loved both Silas and Colt. I liked the dynamic between them, liked how it was Silas that finally got fed up and took charge. Colt's sunshine personality was cute and I liked the banter. These two have been pining for each other for three years! It was worth the wait because the chemistry was freaking hot! I'm sad this isn't longer. I'm not ready to let these two go yet! 5 stars.

I usually pick my book by the cover picture and title this pick was definitely not what I thought it was. BUT I'm not mad about it. The story itself is good. A quick spicy male/male read that will keep you entertained and wishing the story was longer. Colt a collage football player is secretly in love with Silas and older guy who owns a restaurant. After trying to convince Silas to make him food after closing time Silas decided to take matters into his own hands and show Colt exactly how maddening he finds him.

What happens when Silas finally snaps and goes from resisting the tempting flirt, Colt and takes matters into his own hands!

This delicious short story is exciting and sweet in 30 pages. Exactly what West Greene has perfected.

A snippet of lust, possession and sweet happy ever after.

[Vicki · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a super short, seriously hot, little read. At only a little over 30 pages it didn’t take hardly any time to read and I was left wishing for more, thinking about Silas and his Pumpkin.

Just an FYI, once or twice you get the idea that it might end up being a Daddy boy or D/s book but it never materialized and I was thankful—I thought it was perfect just like it was.

Looking for a quick, steamy read? It doesn’t get much quicker or steamier than this! 4.5 stars!.

I loved His Quarterback Pumpkin: MM Halloween Romance. This was very short and steamy. Silas has had enough of Colt’s teasing and tonight he learns a lesson. Silas has tried to keep his distance but now there is no stopping him, he’s claiming Colt and keeping him. Colt is on board to stay with Silas so he will do whatever it takes, he never thought Silas would want him. I loved the story and the characters. A little dark and spicy. I would definitely recommend this book.

Nothing like finally acring on the impulses you have been hiding.

Colt pushed Silas' button for the last time...Silas is tired irritated and sleepy and her comes Colt wanting a burger. Silas got a burger for him, and, love, and commitment...which is exactly what Colt needs.

Love has a way of say eff it and go for it...it does work out 99% of the time, if you just leap.

Colt Paris should be off limits but one night he comes by his restaurant there nothing holding him back this time. The incessant flirting has just stoked his desire for the college student, after three years he is making him his.

This is a short and steamy read, set on Halloween. Is this just for tonight or is this the start of something more?.

loved the combination of sports and Halloween romance. It had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed the romance going on. It was a unique concept and enjoyed the blend of sports and Halloween, i never really thought of this combo and worked well. West Greene wrote this well and was glad I got to read this.

Although this book was very, very short, it still had everything from intense chemistry, delicious smut, and the Halloween theme was on point too. What I love most about West Greene's books is that her characters are always opposites yet fit so well together that it's impossible to imagine them without each other. Great job as always!.

This is short, sweet, and very hot!! After 3 years of Colt and Silas each silently pining for the other, one Halloween things come to a head, heh heh. I liked the epilogue, too, but would have loved to know what happens after Colt graduates college and wouldn't have minded a longer book with these guys :)

[Syd Springer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Colt and Silas were great together. This was a short story that was a prefect getaway for a lunch break. I really enjoyed the connection and chemistry between Colt and Silas and I enjoyed that these two finally admitted their feelings and they get their HEA. I can’t wait to get more form West soon.

This was unexpectedly sweet!
Silas and Colt have been pining for each other for three years, since Colt came into town to attend college.
Finally Silas makes the first step and after a very steamy intercourse in the parking lot behind Silas' diner, they confess their feelings for each other.
Colt is sweet, gorgeous and spontaneous, Silas is more serious, broody, but together they're perfect.

I liked this story very very much, too bad is very short and we don't know what happens after Colt's graduation, how their relationship will evolve and the end is more of a HFN that a HEA.

I hope the author will consider to expand this novella in the future.

[Louisa Saunders · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a fantastic quick read, brilliant characters, two very different guys, an 8 year age gap but they both need each other to balance them out.

Even though it's short the emotions are there and the story is really sweet with some steamy scenes.

I liked it. Wish it was longer but I love the fact we get a glimpse of their future.

I love West’s insta-love novellas because they’re easy to read (yes, even though I wish they were longer, I still love that they’re bite-sized and delicious).

I’d recommend if you like these tropes.

I do love West's writing style. Though short their books are paced and packed perfectly! This was another entertaining spicy read about Colt who is a college football player and is secretly in love with Silas. Silas who is a lot older owns a restaurant and fun times ensue when Colt pushes Silas too far!.

☆Silas & Colt♡

This was the best short story I've read! Colt has been going to Silas restaurant for a couple of years now. One night, Silas decides to take action, and the story turns so steamy from there🔥 I loved the way the characters were portrayed, and the writing was so easy to get hooked on!

Thanks so much to booksprout and the author for the ARC!

A mutual attraction where neither knows of the other’s feelings. Steamy, a bit naughty and definitely sweet, when this couple finally gets together. Loved the sweetness that comes through with their relationship.

Honestamente, con esa portada, esperaba un poco más de miedo o que girara en torno a Halloween, pero solo es un traje con cabeza de calabaza. En fin, fue corto y divertido, Colt y Silas encajan luego de bailar al rededor de la atracción, pues suceden cosas en un estacionamiento, dando una escena bastante buena.
