The last time Tad saw Scott, the ripped physical trainer left him with quite a lot to think about. And that's pretty much all Tad's been doing for nearly two weeks straight. At his wit's end, he seeks Scott out, voluntarily, on his own terms. Will the completely different setting offer what he's seeking; proof that their exchange's unexpected turn was just a random mishap? Hormones run amok and truly nothing more? Or will being in Scott's presence suggest something different... their newest encounter tempting Tad's resolve while testing his ultimate limits.

Well book 2 finds Tad pondering life. Poor Tad, for the life of him, can't figure out why he's still thinking about Scott and the Scott treatment?



I mean he's obviously not gay. He's not in to flogging.

He'll just go see Scott one more time. To prove that it's nothing. Anybody would have reacted the way Tad did when confronted with the Scott treatment. Guy or girl.



And clearly Tad didn't learn his lesson from his last Scott treatment.

Hello.....



....welcome back! Damn dude.....I think I even got some lady blue balls this go round!

So, yeah...Tad finds himself with Scott shooting a personal training video. And since Tad worked his muscles so hard, he obviously needs a massage....which Scott is happy to give.



Enter blue balls.

Wait...this is sounding awfully familiar. Another Scott treatment (minus the flogging). A still somewhat confused Tad. A still very interested Scott.

Okay, I still want to know what happens.

3.5 Solid Stars for Round 2!!!

Oh our dear Tad. He sorta kinda wants to forget the UNFORGETTABLE night he had with Scott but he just can’t stop thinking about what happened.

Can you blame him?? I surely don’t.

Sooo…. under the guise of helping Scott out with his exercise videos, he goes over to make sure that Scott isn’t all that appealing in broad daylight, right?? Right

Silly Tad. Ensue another mind (and other things) exploding experience!! *wink*

Yep. Tad was proven wrong and wanna bet he’ll back for more? You know it!

It’s been two weeks since the end of book one and Tad can’t focus on work or school.

He can’t stop thinking about the explosive, life-changing evening he spent with Scott…and he might have to break down and watch that vid at some point. He finally gets up enough courage to give Scott a call, he is relieved that Scott is still interested in filming a workout training video.

What makes this series work, (besides the excellent writing) is the realistic slow growth of story, and the beautiful character development.

Granted, it’s also hot as hell, and humorous too!

“I’m still playing scabbard to your monster freaking cock.” Scott stilled in his nuzzling, then burst out laughing, his cock inadvertently jostling Tad’s ass. His super-sore ass. And his crazy-sensitive prostate. Tad winced with a hiss, clutching Scott’s shoulders. “Fuck, dude. My God. Tell that python to chill.”

No bdsm elements in this one, yay!

You have to have a masochistic inclination to appreciate this book. Once you can get past Tad's somewhat annoying self-reflections and finally find yourself with him under Scott's hands ... burn baby burn, soooo hot.
Edging at its finest. Fortunately, we don't read such books for the sake of the plot ...

“Shit, yeah,” he panted. “Oh fuck, I need to come.”
“Mmm,” Scott rumbled. “You do, but you won’t.”
😳😳😳

I loved their cuddling at the end the most, even though Tad gets cold feet again and prefers to run away.

But as their heaving chests kept slipping and sliding, all slick with Tad’s heavy release, something happened that gave Tad pause; Scott nuzzled his face into his neck, like some indulgent post-romp snuggle. The contact exuded a satisfied contentment. And felt suspiciously affectionate. 🫠🫠🫠

This was just as hot as the first instalment - hell, maybe even hotter - but with the added bonus of better character development and a much clearer, and thus more intriguing, relationship dynamic.

I like Tad and Scott a good deal already and I’m fairly confident that their relationship progression will work a treat for me as the series unfolds - one kinky AF story at a time.

I really Love Tad and Scott and i can’t wait to follow them !

4 Stars....

Tad has continued on with his life walking away from Scott and all that went on that night with Scott but he can't seem to get him out of his thoughts and what that means not only sexually but about who he is, he keeps picking his phone up putting it down till eventually when his friend asks him to go out with a group of friends including girls and he just can't stomach being with them this just pushes him to pick his phone up and do a workout with Scott actual EXERCISE yes and that's how it starts.

 photo null_zps94c3548a.jpg

Obviously something leads to more and that progresses on...

This is another HOT read but I will say this has more of a hearty feel, Tads inner feelings and also I personally felt that Scott's emotions how he wants Tad to be his if only for now he wants Tad TO BE HIS

Tad could feel a grin trying to emerge, even as he struggled to accept Scott's advance. He felt so invaded, so unhinged, so owned. A possession Scott somehow had managed to claim.


This is very seductive read but I totally could feel both their emotions and what they should do? should they continue? I'm really hoping in the next one we see a little more character development and an HFN if not an HEA as the feel I'm getting right now is this is more an Tads lifestyle change and who he is I just really hope Scott is involved in that as I truly feel they both need each other in each others lives.

Kora's writing is detailed and in aspects to her talent as an author she knows how to write SEX and M/M. For short reads I'd definitely recommend this one just don't expect lots of plot I really would say though this is a series more about self discovery and lifestyle, the author has said she's seeing 5 or more Novellas so another 3 yet at a minimal so lots more to come for these two delicious hotties.

This is part two of Tad and Scott's budding relationship. It's as hot as the first part though with less kink. The heat between the two MCs more than makes up for it though.

I love how Tad is slowly working through his feelings/attraction toward Scott. It's realistic and endearing. He's struggling but he doesn't pretend to be oblivious.

*4,5 stars*

Tad’s been left pretty shaken after the events of the first chapter in this six-part story. Quite a few of his assumptions about who he is and what his sexual preferences are have been rattled badly.

Can he keep away from Scott though? The charismatic, built-like-a-brickhouse, sex God who brought him pleasure like no-one before? Even though Tad is not gay and not into BDSM.
Nope, of course not.

It’s not that Scott is pushing, or that Tad is asking, but it seems that these two are unable to keep their hands off each other. I like how considerate Scott is, how careful and passionate. And it’s pretty obvious (to us, but not to Tad) that Scott really fancies Tad. Not only for the sex, but because he genuinely likes the other guy, as they start getting to know each other better here.

There is no BDSM in this instalment, ‘just’ some incredibly scorching sex. No doubt, Kora Knight has serious writing skills in that department (I would happily compare her to Hailey Turner and Roe Horvat).

Saying that, it’s becoming a bit clearer in part 2, where this is heading for Tad. I think a lot of self-revelation might lie ahead of him!

Loved book 2!

Tad has come up with a handful of excuses that explain his reaction to Scott but unless he goes back, he’ll never truly know. In the hopes of proving that the one-time encounter was based solely on the circumstances, he seeks out Scott. But he soon realizes that even in the most innocent of situations his body craves something more. A little work out session turns into erotic massage as Tad allows Scott to rub in all the right places.

Installment two gives you a bit of drama with the conflict as Tad tries to make sense of his response to Scott. And if you thought part one was hot... be prepared for part two. Whereas part one gave you a hot scene, this one gives you some alone time with Tad and his thoughts. A little insight into what he seems to be denying in his head, but a truth that Scott can clearly see.

Another steamy addition where we see Scott in full seduce-mode. These short installments have, so far, been written in such a way that makes you crave more. You want more of the sex... of the off-the-charts-panty-soaking encounters, you want to watch Tad discover the real reason behind his body’s reaction to Scott and this reader wants to desperately see Tad accept it. Ready for part three!

I don’t have much to add from my book one review. This one was also almost pure smut. Maybe a TINY hint of feels. No BDSM. Instead a ridiculously hot massage that of course turned into more. 🔥

Duh.

The dialogue was still cringy and repetitive in places. Whatever. It worked for me. I’m not going to analyze it. 😂

For some reason I feel like I can't really give these ratings hahaha, its pretty much porn with no plot at the moment.

A lot of internal debating if Tad is in to Scott and holding back because Tad "thinks" he is straight, when in reality he is probably bi or pan or maybe demi sexual?... but as a reader you can't tell him that haha

But we did have some character development. We found out that Tad is going to school for his masters in journalism while Scott is a personal trainer/masseuse/bdsm man haha and he has a roommate Max we briefly met in this book.

now on to book 3 haha

Wow, this M/M erotica is amazing ! This is a descriptive series of a college guy, Tad, having his first BDSM encounter with Scott in his dungeon in book one, leads to Tad returning to do the work out video. Once again, this night proves to be more than Tad counted on. He loves everything Scott is doing. Minute by minute explanation of what both men are doing, feeling, and loving. Whew ! That is a detailed long sexy scene !
Looking forward to book 3. 93% of reviewers so far have liked it. Love the erotica. ENJOY !!!

Wait a minute.... I just have to... *wipes sweat of her forehead*


...take a deep breath and gather my thoughts.

OK... I'm fine!

Essentially it was...


Besides the...


In this story the build-up is slower than in Loser Takes All and we also get some tender moments.


Tad's struggles with his inner conflict had me a lot of


While at the same time it just made the story feeling more real IMO.

I love the friendly banter between Tad and Scott as much as the humor which shows in the writing.

While I was a bit suspicious about Scott and his motives in Loser Takes All, now I think I do understand him better.

You know, what is the meanest thing about it all?
Now I have to wait for the next instalment!

***5 "Back for More" Stars!!!***

Kora Knight brings the M/M heat again in Volume Two of the Upending Tad series! Tad is still reeling from his earth-shattering experience with Scott and is determined to make sense of what's been going on in his head and his pants for the twelve days since the two were together. So many questions are still unanswered, like the big one Tad poses: "If he really wasn't interested in exploring Scott's affections, then why was he even thinking about it?" The internal struggle continues, but the author does a great job at keeping Tad's thoughts and self-doubts progressing along with his physical submission to Scott. Again, the pacing is just right - we never get the sense that Tad is truly unwilling, and Scott seems to read him better than he reads himself. This is definitely Tad's awakening, and it is beautiful to read.

This M/M series is a MUST READ if you enjoy hot boy love with mild BDSM elements!

What a great author. I love these characters and they are so well developed. This book was sweeter than Loser Takes All and it was great to see the characters develop. I love Scott and really looking forward to the next book to see how these guys progress with their relationship. Extremely well written.

🌶️5/5 *make you blush it was so explicit* peppers
😻2/5 *some feeling blooming up* heart eye kitties

You know what, i liked this. So i will just quickly recap what pissed me off instead, k?
The word "dude" is mentioned 598734 times. WE GET IT! he's a dude, Tad never thought he would be into a guy, and listen, the fact that Scott is a dude is pretty much the ENTIRE reason we are all here. So can we drop the "dude" name-calling? Like, yes he has a d*ck, that's the whole point, Tad.

Like that song said, "It's getting hot in here..." LOL

Seriously, if all m/m romance are like this one, then heck, I'll take em all! Ok, maybe not. While I'm still not fully into this genre, let's just say if it's Kora Knight, then I'll take em all! There! *grins*

Tad and Scott's story continues, or should I say more like the study of Tad's character continues. It's all about Tad not understanding what's happened in Loser Takes All yet not being able to help himself to see that something else is happening. It's endearing and I did feel empathy for him as he tries to make sense of things. Poor Tad, such confusing times! I can't even get annoyed at his conflicting thoughts as I can feel it's a huge deal for him. Notwithstanding the smexy time, if I may so myself...*g*

I've started the 3rd book, Sideline Submission, as I'm writing this because how can I not, with a non-ending ending like that (and that's a beef I had, if any, Kora, sorry), just like how the first one ended (or non-ended) too. And Scott, I still wish to get to know him more. I'm getting him, but not getting him fully at the same time. But hey, this is Tad's "story" after all...

☆☆☆☆ 4 I Need You So Bad Stars ☆☆☆☆

Tad and Scott......man on man these boys will make panties drop..... I LOVE these boys so much.

 photo fangirl2_zps6khfrztv.gif

In this hot little read Tad is trying to figure what the hell just happened with him and Scott and why he liked it so much. He thinks it was just an "in the moment" hot spell. Believing if he just hangs with Scott, as bros, these feelings wouldn't stir inside of him.

As Tad convinces himself to go over to Scott's and work on a fitness video, he is sure things will be different.

Scott is happy to have Tad back over. After working Tad over with his personal trainer session, he offers Tad a professional massage. Tad is questionable of this massage, but Scott's smooth words and hands begin to melt Tad's hesitation. Scott works his body so well....neither boy can handle their body's response.

"Say yes", he rasped, giving Tad's ass a meaningful grind. "God, I need you so fucking bad."

 photo 1104_zpsfrkgzwcj.gif

"Goddamn", he groaned. "My name....in your mouth...wanna hear that shit....every day."

 photo tumblr_m3w4ltVHVf1r5x7rzo1_500_zpsjhdedubq.gif

and the fire contines....

 photo tumblr_n3kf5hFMRQ1sfky1xo1_500_zpsth9v8tt6.gif


Tad can't wrap his head around the feelings that Scott is stiring.....he wants to deny them, but he is undoubtedly more comfortable with Scott than most people....can this really be what he has been missing in his life.

"Soft lips whispered like a shadow over his yanking him back from his thoughts. His heart went crazy."

Tad can't handle all these feelings. Scott senses the pull away.....he wants Tad in his life....but again....he has to let Tad go.

Book 3.....come to momma!!!!!
