Their Reason
You are cordially invited to the wedding of Jon Connor and Ian Jones!
When I think about my guys and who I think marriage would mean the most to, I always think about Red. Growing up in foster care and spending his first twenty-five years just trying to survive, the concept of family is a dream he never thought would become a reality. He found a family with Bull, the Connors and our favorite guys in the garage, but marriage would really make him a Connor. Not just the piece of paper, but the vows in front of all their loved ones, the promise of forever...it’s everything Red deserves.
In this sequel novella to For A Reason, we follow Bull and Red through the wonderful and crazy adventure of planning a wedding. From setting a date to saying those two magical words to their magical Irish honeymoon, we get to see how love has transformed everyone’s favorite couple.

About the author
Jessie G.
29 books261 followersLike many readers, the dream of being a writer has been with me a long time. After three decades of trying, I'd begun to doubt. Thanks to social media, I followed my favorite authors hoping to glean some words of wisdom as I pounded out half-formed ideas with alarming regularity. Two repetitive themes emerged: To be a great writer you must read a lot and your butt must be in the chair every day like it's a job. The more you write, the easier it will be to write and the better you will be at writing. I took that advice to heart and write every day. With three series in the works and counting, it's been amazing to have made this dream my reality.
I am a firm believer in marriage equality, love at first sight, power dynamics and happily ever after. I'm a lover of strong secondary characters and series filled with families, biological or chosen. All are themes you'll find throughout my books.

This was a great sequel to For A Reason. It was so wonderful to read about a Disney wedding (I didn't even know that was possible). It was endearing to read about the love between Ian and Jon all over again, making me remember them for even longer.
A wonderful series, which I'll encourage everyone to try once, if they don't mind a lot of angst and pain and thrill in their stories. Though, this one was just a sweet, scrumptious little joyride to give you another episode of giddy happiness. :)

This was such a cute snippet! I loved how romantic Bull and Red were. Bull kept his promise and officially made Red part of their family. It was sweet, steamy and all kinds of adorable. I loved the ending when every couple was given a bit of time to show exactly how they were doing. Delightful intermission before the next angsty read in the series! Loved it!

Red and Bill get married
This is basically a short catch up as Red and Bull exchange vows and the rest of the gang reflect and catch up to where their lives are at.
It's sweet and has some lovely reminders of each of the various partnerships with the potential set up of new ones.

A really sweet ceremony for one of the couples in this series. It was nice seen all the characters, together, but most importantly happy.
Looking forward to the next book.

This wedding novella is the fourth book in the Sizzling Miami series and is not a standalone.
My favourite pairing of the series, Bull and Red, finally decide to get married and this gorgeous novella invites the reader into the delightful romantic episode from the preparations to the beautiful ceremony itself. This culminates a fitting ‘happy forever’ ending for the couple.
The storyline takes us through a catch up with all the guys and how they share the happy day with Bull and Red in Disneyland, then onto the glorious honeymoon in Ireland.
Bull and Red captured my heart from the beginning and this just had me sighing with happiness as I flicked through each page. What a fitting tribute and rewarding episode in their journey of love, after all they have been through together, it was a delight to see Mr and Mr Connor reach their happy day.
This will delight all fans of the series and if you haven’t yet started this series then I definitely recommend you do. Five ‘love is love’ stars.

We all have our go -to authors that will give us exactly what we need in spades. Jessie G is one of mine. The heat is there, the snark, the sass, and the love- oh the love! Her themes of family, friendship and love all wrap themselves in a beautiful story line that is the life and love of these men. Her strength with character development comes thru and creates an engrossing read. The Sizzling Miami world is one readers want to be a part of, I'm desperately jealous of the few women at Bull & Red's wedding.
Bull and Red are far from perfect, they work too much, take on too much and too often put everyone before themselves. But no more, with Bull's decision to marry his man in three weeks the story jumps into high gear and the tears flow! Most are happy, sappy tears because few deserve their HEA as much as Bull and Red. Throughout the ride of their trip to the altar the reader feels it all- the joy, fear, excitement and most importantly the strength of family that emanates from these two.
It's a short read yet it leaves you so fulfilled. Knowing the men in this series and getting the extra treat of the outtakes was divine!

if you have not met ian and bull, you really need to. their novel - for a reason - is a must read first (actually all of jessie g's books are). disclaimer: i've read ian and bull's book (for a reason) 4 times...it is one of my ALL TIME favorite books...like ever. these are my boys. their story is amazing and wonderful and heart warming and...you get the idea.
this is the absolute perfect follow up to their story. i love their emotions here just as much as i did in for a reason. they are beautiful together and this wedding was perfect for them.
the outtakes from the entire sizzling miami cast are such an awesome addition as are the few fun little nuggets we are given from a few of the couples.
and OH MY GOD THIS COVER! i really like all of her covers but this one is probably my favorite!
i cannot thank jessie enough for giving us this treasure!

I though this novella was so sweet and such a perfect add to this series!
I have to admit so far in this series John and Ian are my favorite couple so it was so awesome to get to read about their wedding. Plus to also get to see characters from previous books.
Where they got married was just so sweet and the way these two interacted together was beautiful.
I can not really say much without giving away a lot of this book because this was such a short book. So I will leave this review with getting to see John and Ian getting married was just so sweet and all the catching up with the other characters in this series was awesome!
All together I really loved this Novella!
I would definitely recommend this series!

I love every one of this series. This was very sweet and perfect for Red and Bull. Theirs was the most romantic of all the couples so far. Great tie in to the rest of the stories.

✔ Letto! Se qualcuno avesse detto a Bull che avrebbe trovato l’amore della sua vita in piedi sul ciglio della strada, lui gli avrebbe riso in faccia. Non solo è stato un amore a prima vista. Per tutti due, ma si completano. Uno dà all'altro quello che hanno bisogno. E non c'era modo migliore di consolidare questa unione che un bel matrimonio nel posto preferito di Red, del bambino che abita dentro di lui e che non ha potuto essere.
In questo libro vedo un Ian realizzato, felice, forte, con un po' di chili in più. Sicuro di sé. Lontano anni luce dal ragazzino insicuro che campava le giornate senza osare sognare o fare progetti per il giorno dopo.
Un libro molto molto carino, la riunione di tutti quelli che hanno incrociato per una ragione la strada di Jon Connor e poi di Ian, e sono rimasti al loro fianco. La loro famiglia.
Per me è ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

4 Heart Review by Amber
I had absolutely no idea this book was in the works. What a fantastic surprise! And while Davin and Alaric’s book was my favorite, Red and Bull came in a close second. Of all the couples I think these two were the perfect choice to have a dream wedding at Disneyworld.
This book was just so damn sweet!! Like most readers I adore Bull and Red and I can’t think of a better ending to their beautiful story. The heat is still a blistering inferno between these two men. This book is a journey through planning their dream wedding. After some thought they decided on Disneyworld and with the help of their awesome wedding planner they were able to get exactly what they wanted.
We get little sneak peeks at some past book favorite characters. There’s a Bachelor party that happens on a bus and we get peeks at Ty and Chase, Alaric and Davin, both threesome couples, and some other important characters from the past.
Red and Bull also wanted to include Ava and Luc (Ty and Chase’s niece and nephew) from book 3 also make an adorable appearance.
This book couldn’t have ended better and is the perfect addition to Bull and Red’s story. I’m curious to know if kids are in their future. I really can’t wait to find out what’s next. Great writing, great story…anyone who loves these men will be tickled to death about this book!!

Reviewed by: multitaskingmomma
My Rating: 3.5 of 4 Stars
(Based on Short&Light Read Category)
This is a sweet ending to Bull and Red's romance. This was an unexpected installment spurred by the delighted author who witnessed a historical event in her lifetime: the legalization of Gay Marriage in the US and Ireland. Despite all the angst, it was finally accepted that indeed, two men or two women can and do fall in love and have the right to get married. Just like every other human being and dogs on this planet.
Bull asks Red to marry him and of course, Red says yes. Both men deserved their happiness and when they announce the good news to their friends, all were elated at the concept. Then the preparations begin and we catch a glimpse of what the other men think as well as the family members both attending and absent. We catch a glimpse of how their decision affects those around them as well. And of course, they go to Disney Land for the day and all. Sweet. Fun. Fast.
This is a make-you-feel-elated kind of book, one that sets the muscles to freeze on smile. Recommended for those who love Red and Bull (although frankly, I call them RedBull).

A Joyfully Jay review.
4.25 stars
Their Reason is the follow up to Bull and Ian’s original story, For a Reason, and focuses specifically on their wedding and honeymoon. The storyline centers on the wedding planning, the event itself, and their trip to Ireland. There really isn’t a larger plot, nor does there really need to be. This story is a celebration of the love Bull and Red share and a chance to reconnect with them and their close friends. We get a chance to check in on Ty and Chase with the kids, see how well Javier is doing with therapy, and get hints of things to come for Chris and Owen. It is sweet and mushy and a nice treat for fans of the couple and the Sizzling Miami series who want to see these guys get the wedding and the marriage they have dreamed about.
I enjoyed this one and liked seeing these guys again. Reading this story just made me even more anxious for more to come in the larger series as I really enjoy these characters and the world Jessie G has built.

Oh My God!! I LOVED this novella, read it in one sitting because I could not put it down. I have loved this series from book one and just have a soft spot in my heart for Red & Bull. From page one of this novella I was sucked in on reading about how our guys are doing months later. Once Bull and Red decide to set a date for their wedding the ball is rolling and the fun really begins. Between Red and his talk with Javi, Chris and Owen's private moment and catching up with Ty's smart mouth this book was fantastic. I would not be surprised if Jessie did not hear me scream from excitement over one particular wedding scene. Tears, laughter and complete joy made this one of my favorite reads so far this year.

A billion thank you's for THEIR REASON! (Sigh) I ❤ Bull and Red when I first read their story and their wedding just made me fall in love all over again. So beautiful and well written, I was right there with them through their entire journey with a cheesy smile on my face and tears in my eyes.
I highly recommend you get to know, not only Bull & Red but everyone from the SIZZLING MIAMI series and DEVILS PRIDE MC Book 1. They're all family!!

Beautiful, Sweet, Romantic
Beautiful, sweet, romantic story. It was perfect for Red and Bull, I couldn't imagine their wedding any other way.
I laughed at the thought of where Bull was getting married, but it really was the perfect thing for them.
I *may* have cried just a bit when it got to the actual ceremony, but I'm a romantic at heart.
Seeing not only Red and Bull come together, but the whole family, it was special.
If you love Red and Bull, if you want to see where all our favorite men are up to this point, then pick up this sweet romance. Jessie G couldn't have written anything more perfect.
