Say You're Mine!

Rate this book
Drew’s been rejected by Kane March one too many times. If Kane doesn’t want him, he’ll find someone else who does, and his twenty-fifth birthday bash is the perfect place to do it.

Unfortunately that’s easier said than done, especially since Kane won’t let Drew out of his sight and purposely scares off any man who pays Drew the slightest attention.

When the night comes to an end, will Kane walk away from Drew like he always does or will Drew’s birthday wish finally come true?

This is a complete, short, gay, erotic m/m romance, approximately 4000 words. It features explicit m/m sexual situations, content and language and is intended for adult readers.

‘Say You’re Mine’ is the amazing result of a reader’s outlandish request. When I was challenged write, edit, create a cover and publish an erotic short story in less than 24 hours, I couldn’t possibly refuse. This story is the result of that fun request.
Needless to say, the reader was so shocked and delighted with the result of her challenge that I decided to share Kane and Drew's story with the rest of the world. I hope you enjoy this quickie tale. - AJ

I write mostly MM porngasmic fluff— sometimes funny, sometimes outrageous (just like me).

I believe you should always read what you love. Personally, I can't read anything that will tug at my heartstrings, leave me hanging on for the next installment, or gloss over the sexy bits (they're the best part). I love me some tasteful dirty talk, and a book that can make me laugh will get 5*!

Though it's only been a year since I fell in love with the MM romance genre, it's become my next new addiction. Paranormal and taboo reads are my favorites.

In a past life, I was most likely a tall fitness guru with an immaculate home and a thriving garden, which totally explains my "been there, done that" attitude.

I'm currently either reading or writing the next random book that strikes my fancy (or both).

What are you up to?

Still reading my bio?

Why? I'm not that interesting. Go find a smutty MM romance to read. You won't be disappointed...



Lots 'o luv,
AJ

Very sexy, short read. I liked that the main characters had known each other for years, so there was no insta-love. Just a growly, jealous alpha male finally giving in to his best friend's younger brother. Loved it!

Very sweet, very sexy, very well written :-)! This was way too short ... but what it did pack, it did so wonderfully :-)! Very enjoyable little read. If the author decides to do a full length follow-up with these men, I'd definitely read it :-)!!

FREE on Amazon right now!

P.S. I have to say I am irked that some are rating this little novella badly just because it's too short ... ummm ... you knew how short it was when you started reading it :-/! Being openminded and subsequently disappointed is one thing, but to know you'll dislike something and read it anyway, just to rate it badly makes absolutely no sense to me. It's like reading an M/M book and being angry it's M/M ... hmmmm, what?!? In fact, if you wanted more, wouldn't you rate it more fairly, considering the fact that you wanted MORE?!!? I am not criticizing honest opinion, if you don't like something then you don't like it, I of all people am definitely going to tell you to rate true to yourself :-)! But I mean, be fair and decent about it. It's not the book's fault it was too short ... it's a novella ... it's just not going to read like a full length book. Do I think it should have been longer? Yes! Am I bummed that the end was a bit abrupt? Yes! Am I surprised that it was so short? No! I knew it was 20+ pages and expected it to be exactly what it was; short and sweet :-)!!

Short and....hot?
Kinda silly dialogue and cheesy in places, but for a 10 minute read, it was okay.

It felt too flat, even for a story this short.
There was no natural evolution, it was literally a jump from a no to a yes (and not in the classiest of ways, bordering on creepy).
Then cut to the epilogue? What even?
Sad, because the premise had potential. It was just not well executed.
I'm just relieved it was free and I didn't have to spare a single cent in it. But still, I'm not happy.

Wait for the one you really love!

AJ Ridges received a challenge from a reader to write, edit and publish a book in 24 hours, and, well, here it is! Proof! It can be done!

The main characters were endearing, and I would love to see AJ develop this short story into a full-length novel. I want to read more about these two. That last bit would be an excellent epilogue! I SO wanted it stretched out into something longer and even more delicious!

This short story is available for free everywhere you find it. Grab it up and enjoy the 15 minutes it takes to read it. It's worth your while.

I want to say being just 20 pages possibly worked against this story.

If it wasn't for the fact we were told numerous times about the age gap & who these two were the story could of been about anyone. M/M....well if you say so....could've easily been M/F.

Also....is this seriously a thing when there is an age gap...the whole calling another man "boy" just cause he's younger than you? Cause in this story it doesn't come off even a little sexy...

Just what I was looking for. A short read. Liked that it was an author challenge and wanted to see if it was successful. I'd say it was. I'll read more by this author.

Too short.

I love the possessive tone of this and the brother's best friend/best friend's brother trope is one of my favorites. I've enjoyed previous short stories from this author, but this one just needs more to be a really good story. Or less, to be a true quickie erotic read. The balance is just off and the end result is honestly forgettable.

Hot, hot, hot!

This was hot, passionate with elements of fun thrown in! Kane and Drew have known one another for years since Kane is the best friend of Drew’s older brother. Kane has been waiting patiently for Drew to grow up. On Drew’s 25th birthday, Kane makes all of Drew’s fantasies come true!

Loved this short, sexy, sweet age gap romance. Drew has always wanted Kane, his older brothers friend. Kane has always told Drew he was too young for him. Tonight Drew turns 25 and he's tired of Kane's rejection. Liked the ending.

so good

This was a really good short story. Our boy Drew knew what he wanted and was wishing for it to be delivered. Thankfully when we met him his object of affection is ready finally. I really enjoyed this one. Now on to the next.

A love story of two friends and that is the bases of this story really. I do love how the writer really trys to make you feel like you are there with main characters. finding love is hard and showing it could be even harder, this story shows you that.

Sometimes birthday wishes do come true.

A very cute, very short story about finally getting everything you want. Sometimes all it takes is a little patience.
