Moving In: A Slice of Life Contemporary Romance
What is a house husband, but a man who satisfies his women?
Edward Jordan is a classically trained butler. After years of schooling, he is finally ready to work, but first he needs a place to stay.
The beach house he found seemed too good to be true. It had been listed for months, the rent was below average, and the current inhabitants were three gorgeous women.
Valentina was friendly and funny, Haley was serious and ambitious, and Aspen was a quiet, spoiled, rich girl. There was nothing wrong with the place, though, so when he got the chance to move in, Edward took it.
After about five minutes, he realized these women didn’t need a housemate. They needed help. The rooms they didn’t show him were a mess, their diets consisted of fast food and microwaved meals, and their love lives were in all sorts of disarray.
Luckily, Edward is a jack of all trades. A butler could have a hundred different responsibilities, after all. But once the girls get used to having a man around, will they ever let him go?
Does he even want them to?

About the author
Dirk Knight
12 books80 followersDirk Knight lives in Phoenix with his wife and two daughters, and works in sales. Dirk is now devoting himself to his passion after having spent a great number of years in and out of recovery and addiction. Dirk studied English, journalism and creative writing in college, but never pursued his literary goals due to his addictions and other restrictions.
"I started writing for myself, to satisfy urges and entertain my curiosities. I wanted to know how many of us think the way I do. I have lived in the most depressing and joyful situations. I have starved and lived in cars, I have also had more money than I could spend and had gifts that brought me exquisite joy. From my vantage point, humans are the most unpredictable, astonishing, hateful and sacrificing creatures. I want to understand us (humanity) better and, for me, understanding of humanity... my humanity... comes from writing fiction, and examining what people might do when they feel no one is watching, what people are capable of (horrible and great), and imaging how seemingly normal people would react if they had exhausted the rational (and sometimes irrational) options. I hope you will join me in my quest to reveal the darkest and brightest aspects of human nature...what will we do when the lights are out?"

Forgettable!

Very cool, happy, exciting and a little edgy
This book found me truly enthused. I read through it at a quick page turning pace on account of its exceptionally engaging story. Also no AI, also known as “Asinine Litter”. It’s always nice to read things that dosen’t have to be analyzed in your head every sentence and restructured to make sense and actually literate. AI! Should be called anti intelligence, however I digress. Touchy issue

Butler of many talents
Nice storyline and enough spice to keep the story going. Can't wait to see how the relationships develop and grow!

When it comes to suggestive pen names, I have to admit that 'Dirk Knight' is right up there. Anyway, Dirk brings us Moving In, the first novella in a series, and it qualifies for both male and female fever dream status. (By the way, I knocked off a 'star' due to the author's pen name.)
The MMC was an up-and-coming butler who was between jobs and looking for a place to stay. As luck would have it, there were three beautiful young ladies who were rooming together in a beachside mini-mansion in North Carolina who required another roommate to help pay the bills. The MMC answered the ad and got approved, then he moved out of his hotel room into the ladies' house.
The fever dream for the ladies was having a young, charming, good-looking man who could cook and clean for them. The fever dream for the MMC was living in the same house with three beautiful single women at the peaks of their libidos. As promised by the book's title and cover, nature eventually took its course. However, there were only two fairly tame spice scenes, so those worried about overbearing sexual TMI, this book might work better for you.
In terms of categorization, I'm not sure this qualifies as a contemporary romance. The relationships between the MMC and his female roommates were much too casual for that. But the 'slice of life' description fits okay. Anyway, if you want a quick, mildly-spicy and entertaining little book to read in the hammock in your back yard on a Saturday afternoon, Moving In is not a bad choice.

Pleasant and enjoyable characters
The story and its progression is refreshing and allows the reader to become acquainted in a gradual manner with each of the characters. The story flows smoothly and is a lot of fun!

Love by threes
What is a house husbands job and how are the hours kept. I loved this introduction to being a house husband. This is a great way to learn how to love care for others.

Interesting turn of events
Well-paced introduction of Ed to his new living arrangements. Nicely woven arcs of his three distinctly different housemates while doing a nice job of setting the stage for more adventures.

I liked it
It wasn’t very long or descriptive in the sex scenes but still a good story nonetheless and I’m looking forward to the next one.

pretty good
It was pleasant and good. Being house husband is a dream of mine. However, I don’t think Val’s job was mentioned until the minute the emergency happened.

Surprisingly Good
I've never read this author before and was pleased that the book was more story than sex. Can't wait for book 2
