The Man in Mom's Bed
I knew I was going to hell the moment I saw her. She’s eighteen, gorgeous—and my girlfriend’s daughter.
I told myself I’d stay away. Keep my hands clean. But when she walks through the trailer wearing only my t-shirt, looking at me like I’m her whole world, I can’t fight it anymore.
She deserves college, friends her own age, a life untouched by a grease-stained mechanic like me.
They’ll say it’s wrong. That I ruined her. But the truth is simpler.
Katie is mine. Always was, always will be.

Cam, Cam he’s our man !!!
This book has had me smiling ear to ear since page one!! I was giddy when I learned there was an age gap and instalove.
What I didn’t know was, that forced proximity is what would finally bring Cam and Katie together. Cam is a man with big dreams and he’s working himself to the bone to make it happen.
Katie is a small town girl who’s been raised in the trailer park from HE (double hockey sticks)!! With a head full of bright ideas but no way to make them happen she focuses on what’s tangible.
Katie wants Cam like it’s nobodies business and she is going to make him hers no matter what.
She even considers “barking like she wants it” and boy do they both want it over and over again. This book was everything I’ve needed after such a long week of school work and shenanigans.
Jenna Rose always makes me smile. While also tickling my ever growing fancy and for that I love it here. Please go read this gem I promise you’ll
Love it !!!

Katie and Cameron
THE MAN IN MOM'S BED is a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, age-gap, close-proximity, mutual-pining, girl gets her mechanic romance. Katie is an 18-year-old sweet girl who has a trailer park trash mom. Cameron is a 35-year-old hunky mechanic and her mom's boyfriend in name only. He has only stayed because of his feelings for Katie, wanting to protect her from her drunk mom. Both have been crushing on each other but Cameron feels guilty about the age gap. Finally, they give in. Can Katie show Cam that she is all in and not worried about their age difference? The chemistry between these two was pure fire and the ending was so happy. I loved it. For the record, her mom is a piece of work.

This was a pretty decent read. A lot of pushing away from Cam for almost half the book, that got old. I'm confused as to why or how he is staying at the mom's trailer after "dating" for a month. But not really dating as they have never touched each other. What happened to where he was living before? Once Katie finally wore Cam down they couldn't keep their hands off of each other. Cam was all in, until he was an idiot and let the mom get in his head. In the end it all worked out.

Loved this One
This was one of my favorite Jenna Rose books. It was so cute and not like many other novellas that have the rich vs poor dynamic. In this book both main characters struggle with money and fight for love. Yes there is an age gap, a large one, but I never felt like it was a problem. Because of the way the fmc grew up she was very mature and responsible for her age. I have been slightly disappointed with several novellas lately but felt this one was well written and the storyline made sense. Very much worth the read.

It’s forbidden, it’s wrong, but the heart wants what it’s wants (or other body parts)…
Katie and Cam are dancing around their attraction. Too many obstacles, the age gap, his relationship with her mother (which never got physical, for me that matters), her innocence…
But some things are just meant to be together.
So buckle up for a hot ride through many obstacles, but that’s what makes it exciting.

Good story
Really loved Cam and Katie.
Loved his sacrifice, only wish it were longer for the sacrifice to play out more. It was only three days. And it’s not like she was going away to college, it was in the same town.
Wondering whatever happened to college since it wasn’t mentioned in the epilogue. I hope she finished.
Really cute story, not just about lust, though there was a lot of that.

The author has given us an older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Cameron and Katie. The fast-paced story keeps us turning the pages with forbidden desires, connection, denial, obstacles and steam.

This is an age gap, off limits romance between Katie and her mom's boyfriend, Cameron. These likeable souls and the unique plot make for an enjoyable read. It is a love story with drama and steam, sexual tension and chemistry, and twists and turns, plus appealing secondary characters. Entertaining.

A forbidden relationship, yet neither can deny the feelings between them. Bold moves on young Katie’s part, and Cam who can no longer say no, to what he really desires. Love how far this couple goes, with all the challenges that they overcome.

It was hot, had good chemistry and the vindictive ex who stirs things up. It was a great fast read. The passion between Katie and Cameron was intensive and worth it even with all the drama. You will love it as much as I did.

Katie may be 18 and half his age but she's managed to work her way under Cameron's skin. A steamy and possessive off-limits read with a generous helping of breeding kink too.

I enjoyed the man in mom’s bed which was Cameron and Katie’s story. It was a fun, exciting read. I received an early copy. And voluntarily leaving this review.

Enjoyable, but the "man" didn't feel very manly sometimes. In books like these, I want a man who will take charge, not hide from what he wants.

short age gap read.
Cameron did not have a sexual relationship with the mother, just FYI.

Pretty meh.
Cam's morals kept getting in the way so the back and forth got boring real quick. Katie wears him down tho 😎

The Man in Mom's Bed was about 36-year-old Cameron (no last name)and 18-year-old Katie Mitchell.
Cameron was the live-in boyfriend of Katie's mother, Mercedes. However, there was no intimacy between the two, with Cameron sleeping on the sofa and Katie's mother constantly drunk and spending her time with other men.
The story unfolded over the course of a few days, with a touch of angst and drama, and a hint of spiciness between Cameron and Katie. There wasn't really any emotional rollercoaster ride, and Cameron did a bit of pushing away, but for all that, it was a very drab and boring story that was easily put down and forgotten. Not a book that had any character development or growth. It was just blase.
