My name is Parker Hale and I single handedly brought down a Dynasty.

For me, life has been a study in bad decisions and worse results.

My party boy days landed me with one foot in the grave, but Rebecca Sloan pulled me back from that ledge.

She’s here for me when I need her most and all I do is disappoint.

I’m scared to lose what we have.

I need to fix this mess before it’s too late.

There are fates worse than death.

I’m gonna prove it.

I recieved this book for an honest review from the author.
David Michael does it again. Very few times have I been pulled into a book that made me laugh, made my cry and made me pissed off all in one book.
Parker had me laughing to the point my husband thought I was crazy.
I love the Dick Dynasty Brothers and can't wait to read Preston's.
I found another favourite author!

Of all the Hale boys in the Dick Dynasty, Parker is the one that I have been most looking forward to.

While I loved Porter, I LOVED Parker.

Parker is full of emotion, full of attitude. There is a lot more angst and I felt a lot more substance than Porter (not that Porter didn't have any, but this is just ramped up).

Parker took me on an

and I didn't want to get off the ride.

The one thing that I really wasn't expecting was how much I disliked Holly (Porter's girlfriend) in this book. I adored her in the first book, but this time she was a judgmental b!tch that I wanted to slap.

I love the relationship between Rebecca and Mitch (and when she isn't pissing me off, Holly) and I really, reaaaaally need Mitch to to find his HEA.

Can't wait for Preston's story and the conclusion of the Dick Dynasty.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

This book is one of those rarities that made me laugh and cry. Seriously I was only 5% into the book when I almost spewed my wine out across the room.  Two words…Mitch and vagina lol!

Parker is one hot mess.  His life has been in constant turmoil caused by drugs and alcohol which, in turn, has landed him a one way ticket to the ER. 
His family has had enough and his mom places him on house arrest in hopes he will get his shit together. 

In comes Rebecca aka Becks.  Holly and Mitch’s best friend.  She sees something in him…a light, that every else thought faded years ago.  They start out as friends, but over time their soulful connection is inevitable.  Their first “encounter”  the “ginger Ninja” kicks his ass. LOL.

Parker wants to be a better person around her.  He wants to prove to his mom and brothers that he is a changed man.  Porter is warming up to the idea, Preston, however, thinks he is a lost cause. 

In the end there is a huge fight that threatens the boundaries of their love. I cried like a baby. 

David I hate you and I love you for writing this damn book.  I wanted to punch you in the arm on numerous occasions, for giving me so many feels. 
Bravo, David, Bravo.  You nailed this one and I cannot wait for Preston’s story!!!!

Favorite Scene: Mitch and the vagina and when Becks pummels Preston.
Favorite Quotes:

“Becks?”  he asked as he hooked his arm through mine.
”What’s up, Pumpkin Tits?”
”Am I really the itch to your bitch?”
I couldn’t help but laugh at the pathetic tone in his voice.
”Always, babe.  You’re stuck with me like herpes.”

At the end of Porter I knew I had to dive right into this book. I knew deep down that it was going to be a tougher ride then book one and oh my, it was amazing!

Rebecca was an amazing secondary character as Holly's best friend and to say I was super excited to see her as a leading lady, well that's an understatement. She was just as funny and sweet, yet naughty as I thought she would be!

Oh Parker! He screwed up a lot but deep down he was this sweet man and I loved his flirting. It had me laughing so hard even though he was trying to be sweet.

I really loved all the banter. It was funny but at some times it was serious and made you put your thinking cap on.

They both had sides to them that we get too see in this book. What we thought we knew doesn't even scratch the surface. I loved how different their personality were from the main characters in the first book.

This one has tougher subject matter to it, not only with Parker but also Beck. I can't give to much away but my heart broke for both of them! I cried as much as I laughed in this book. If I could sum up in a few words the plot of this book it would be a fallen man finding his cheerleader. That's exactly what this was and it was so beautiful!! I can't say that enough! No matter how hard it was at times this was so beautiful.


As far as secondary characters go, Mitch has got to be one of my favorite. He was epic in this book and had me laughing so much my sides hurt! I am totally team Mitch!!!

Overall, this book was everything I thought it would be and so much more! We didn't get to see much of the other Hale brothers in this one but I know that the next book is going to be amazing! 5 stars #2OCCJD

OMG...this one seriously made me laugh out loud and then want to cry in the very next moment. What a crazy, emotional strung-out and dysfunctional family...but with a lot of love buried deep inside those explosive emotions.
Parker starts off with a bang...a beautifully poetic but sad look at what could have been the end of a beautiful life...before it gets pulled back from the darkness. The beginning was very well written in such a way to draw the reader in and grab you by the heart-strings...only to lead you on a road of powerful discovery and retribution. Addiction is a deadly and powerful mistress.
Rebecca and Parker were the perfectly, imperfect messed up pair that were destined to walk each other over to the other side of crazy and figure out the path to healthy, happy and love...but not before some powerfully intense family angst is dealt with.
I loved Porter's book but I think Parker had more heart, more soul and a whole lot of meaty characters who broke my heart as much as they filled it with hope.
An excellent second book in this trilogy but left me demanding Preston's story be told now.

**I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.**

Parker is the middle brother in the Hale family. He has it all. He is a popular porn star, he's a huge player and he has a drug problem. When one night of fun lands him in rehab, he doesn't know if he's ready to be sober. He knows his family is at the end of their ropes with him. When his brother's girlfriend, Holly, can't be there to pick him up from rehab, she sends her best friend, Rebecca.

Rebecca has a huge dislike for drug addicts and makes no mistake in letting Parker know. The last thing she expects is seeing the good in him. Can two people with past issues make it work or will they crash and burn before they even begin?

I am loving the Dick Dynasty series. It has everything that brings the feels. I laughed, I cried. Mitch is hilarious. I can't wait to see what happens between Preston and Mitch.

[Danielle · Rating 3 out of 5]

So Parker. I'm not sure what to say.

I enjoyed reading the book. There was a ton of humor, lots of heat, and well, a little confusion. The story was good, but I never felt the connection between Becks and Parker. It was, I dunno, not there for me. Which is kinda weird, because separately, I really liked these characters. They just didn't seem to mesh for me.

Parker was fab. I love a good addict that is trying to get his shit together. Rebecca was fun (although some of the humor was a little OTT and immature for me). She had not so fun things to get through and by golly, she was making something of herself.

By the end of the book I was rooting for them as a couple, but for most of the story I really didn't care if they made it. I wanted each character to be successful, I just didn't care if they did it as a couple. Friends would have even been fine. But, like I said, by the end of the book, I was glad they were coupled. Can I say couple again? Couple. Couple.

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~

I was delighted to get to review this book, as I had so loved Porter (book 1). This is quite a different story - there is still some great humour, but actually it is a really poignant story. Holly's best friend Rebecca finds herself drawn to Parker, Porter's dissolute younger brother. Neither of them are into relationships, but somehow the attraction is more powerful than they seem willing to control. The music sessions that brings them together as close friends are beautifully written. I also loved the set up at the end ... something I did see coming, and will enjoy very much reading as soon as it is available.

Thanks for another good story, Mr Michael.

I loved this book!!!!!!! I have been waiting for it for what seems like forever. After reading book number one I have been impatient to read this one.
I loved getting to know Parker and Rebecca. They both have a lot of history they need to deal with in order to move on and be truly happy in their lives. This book is full of emotions. It took me on an emotional roller coaster. Happy, sad, angry, heartbroken and even parts that were hysterical.
I didn't want this book to end but I also couldn't put it down because I needed to know what happened next. This book did not disapoint It sucked me in from the beginning and wouldn't let go.
This is a book number 2 in the series. If you haven't read book number one I strongly recommend doing so because you will want to know more about the boys.

[Amy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Parker Hale is THE character that I want to strangle and hug all at the same time. I found myself equally wanting to shake him at times and then cheering when he finds the one thing that keeps him grounded. Becks. Throughout the book, these two pull you along in their journey for love and insist that you participate in the emotion. Both broken and guarded, their walls begin to crumble and they learn to trust in each other.

I loved this book so much! David Michael has, once again, created a world that I was delighted to live in. Mitch and Holly gave me so many laughs throughout the story. Everyone should have friends like those two.

Fall in love with a Hale brother! You won't regret it.

[Lorraine Harvey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Breathtakingly brilliant, the best book David has written so far, hands down. Don't get me wrong I've absolutely loved each and everyone of his books, but Parker, WOW!
I'm so glad it started where Porter finished (curse you cliff hanger!) and it's all mostly based solely on Becks and Parker. Parker is definitely my favourite porn star and I love the relationship between Becks, Holly and Mitch, I want one just like their's.
This book gave me some serious feels, definitely recommend this book, you'll fall head over heels with Parker and not want it to end!

[Alison · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 Stars!!!

I was given this book in turn for an honest review

Parker was ready to change, he wanted to change; the only thing he lacked was support and belief in himself. When Rebecca enters his life she creates an aura of strength that Parker desperately needs. Both carry haunted pasts; are they strong enough to survive or will their demons be too much to bear?

Since reading Porter I was more than ready for Parker’s story. David Michael had left us hanging in book #1 and I was more than ready to finally get to grips with the man that is Parker Hale. Parker’s story is full of emotion, turmoil and fight, leaving his past behind and fighting for the future he deserved at a time the world and those around him were all against him; neither seeing that he had the power and strength to change, that he wanted to change. His story isn’t all fun and games; he had celebrity status, he had money; what he lacked was a support network and belief that he could be anyone he wanted to be and do anything he wanted to do. With his fame it brought him a life of being used and not a single real friend to count on, in a world of media, money and fame, Parker Hale was one lonely man.

Parker was a very talented, caring, loving and loyal man. He had many hidden talents and a past that had shaped his future, one that few people knew about. Confidence and love were two things he desperately needed and neither seemed in reach.

Rebecca was a bright, beautiful, up front, loyal and loud young woman. She wasn’t afraid to give her opinion or call someone out if she felt they needed it. She was also a dependable and caring friend, willing to go that extra step to help those she cared for and loved.

I loved the good that Parker and Rebecca brought out in each other, I loved that Rebecca could see the good in Parker and that deep down inside he had the strength to do it. She believed in him at a time he needed it most and she earned my full respect. Parker gave support to Rebecca to release her past and believe that she was worthy of being loved.

I absolutely loved Holly in Porters story, sadly that love slowly dissolved as Parkers story progressed. She was very opinionated and couldn’t find even an ounce of encouragement or support for two people who not only needed it but deserved it.

Parker’s story had be hooked, I was captivated from start to finish, with this said at times it did feel a little rushed, the story wasn’t missing anything and the characters were well developed, but at times the story didn’t seem to be as developed as the characters were. This is purely my personal feeling and does not reflect on David Michaels’ writing or the story, both were exceptional and without a doubt I will read more of David’s books. I especially can’t wait to read Preston’s story and see him get his very own happy ever after.

To get the full enjoyment of Parker’s story I recommend reading Porter book #1 in the series first.

If you love humorous romances with characters you love and adore and with stories that have you laughing throughout I highly recommend you give the Dick Dynasty trilogy a try.

[Sandra Shipman ~ Two Book Pushers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Parker is the second book in the Dick Dynasty Series, and so far it's my favorite! I loved Porter but something about Parker got me. Maybe it's the playful bad boy in him that won me over. I am sure that was part of it but there is definitely more to him...

Parker is the middle Hale brother. Like his brothers, he is a porn star. The party boy one of the three. The fuck-up of the family. The one that almost died from an overdose. He is also the one that wants to prove that he is ready to change. He loves his family but they expect him to go back to his old ways but he has found his secret weapon and her name is Rebecca...

Rebecca doesn't want anything to do with Parker Hale but when forced to pick him up from rehab she doesn't have a choice. What she doesn't know is that it's a blessing in disguise. She might not have wanted to be a part of Parker's life but she soon realizes that there is something about him that makes her trust him. Maybe because they are both broken in some way. She wants to know his story. Not the stories from the tabloids but the real one. The one that nobody talks about. Maybe if he talks about his demons, she can let hers out out of the closet too...

Parker and Rebecca form a friendship over music, food, and flirty banter. Parker is on house arrest, not by the police but by his mother. This gives him time to concentrate of what he really wants in life, who he wants to stand by his side. Rebecca has been his rock but does it mean love? They have fun and she is the only one fully on his side. She sees him. The real Parker. Will Parker break Rebecca's heart and go back to his old ways or will he actually think about a future with her? He has never thought about a future, even with himself.

I loved this story! It was not what I expected at all. Well, I knew it would be funny but not fucking hilarious to the point I would actually snort! But Parker surprised me and I fell for him. Rebecca grew on me, she was kinda bitchy in the beginning but in a tough and funny way. I knew, the funny part would bring me over to her good side. Not gonna lie, Holly pretty much pissed me off but Mitch!! Oh Mitch...I want to hang out with him. He is over the top hilarious and dramatic. So fun!!!

Overall...it's a fast, funny, and sexy read with some serious issues tied in. Addiction of any kind is no joke. It's amazing if you can have friends and family in your corner when trying to kick it. Glad Parker found his muse in more than one way.

P.S. Mother Hale...I can't even with her. So funny.


Quotes:

“You know that’s fiction, right?”
“Bite your tongue!” he squeezed my shoulders, “I have Jacob tied up in my closet as we speak. He’s almost come to terms with the fact that he’s going to be my sex slave for the rest of his life. Don’t ruin it for me.”

“Parker,” it was Rebecca who finally spoke, “Can you put your towel back on, please? You’re dickstracting us.”

“Life isn’t about being perfect, Rebecca. It’s about finding a way to turn your imperfections into something beautiful.”

I'm not going to lie I was expecting something pretty dark here, in the first book in the series Porter, we meet Parker, one of three brothers, not forgetting Preston, who are the air apparent to the well known Hale Porn Dynasty, their father was a star, but after many coke addled years of numerous affairs (yes even in adult firm a sense of monogamy outside of work hours is possible) it seemed that Senior Hale wasn't quite the type of man his sons looked up to and admired. The three brothers have taken to their chosen careers with great aplomb, Porter only recently making the transition to mainstream, happily settled with girlfriend Holly, Preston is still in fine form continuing his career, and Parker seemed like he was on the road to fighting his drug addiction getting clean and straightening himself out.



Parker begins with one hell of a backslide, overdosing and landing back in hospital and rehab, he's finally ready to take the steps to move forward with his life, to address his issues once and for all.

Holly's best friend Rebecca has seen the ugly side of addiction, she has no urge to be around someone who can't help themselves, she feisty and determined and refuses to be pushed around, but despite her initial aggression towards Parker, almost immediately she see's something more in him, something bigger than just being the stuff up son, or the addict, or the screw up, in those moments there's a connection she feels, a pull they each recognise, one that says they both have a past, one that says they both hope for a happy future.

"None of my walls were high enough or thick enough to protect me from that blow."



While I expected something intrinsically dark, what I found was a story that skirted sensitive topics without plunging the reader into something utterly heavy, the author isn't afraid to address issues that are confronting for most but does so in a way that made Parker an ultimately uplifting tale, Parker's ability to recognise the sins of his past, and the steps he would need to take in order to move forward in a way that would both act as salve to repair the strained relationships he had with his family, while focusing on getting stronger himself, and becoming the kind of man that was worthy of capturing Rebecca's love made him a captivating lead, Rebecca with her determined strength, her temerity, her tenacity, her sass and bravado, but mostly her heart made her a heroine that was impossible not to like. I thoroughly enjoyed the second instalment in the series and can't wait for Preston's chance to tell his story.

WOW DDT#2 is another hit from this author !! I enjoyed Holly and Porter in book 1 , loved meeting the other characters that are giving us their stories now and craved this book due to the cliffhanger and my desire to need to fix Parker !! I do have to say I wasn't a big fan of his family in this story - I know they are going through struggles due to Parker and his bad choices but even Holly was very bitter and mean. Anyhow - I enjoyed how it all came together , felt the connection immediately , loved the heartbreaking stories of their past and am eager to see where we go next !! A promising ending and some great laughs as always. There is that saying you can't turn a wh... into a housewife - but hey you can turn a porn star/addict into a one woman man !! LOL

Parker has himself over the edge by the end of Porter's story - we now pick up where we left off and see just how touch and go he is. This addiction is killing him and ruining the family Dynasty BUT in all honesty that may not be a bad thing as long as Parker can survive and get better !! Rebecca also has a past and no tolerance for drugs , doing Holly a HUGE favor she ends up being the one to help Parker home from his vacation. In doing so an unlikely friendship forms and Rebecca ends up providing a support system for Parker like no other he has ever had. I give props to both - they overcome major hurdles together and as much as Rebecca does to be there for Parker he also does the same for her. It was a great story - very hot and steamy and full of laughs and some tears. As I said before Parker's family were a bit rough as were Holly and Mitch BUT in the end they all came together and I was slightly surprised with the lead in for the next story !!

I am impressed with the writing and the amount of emotion from both characters. I wasn't sure which way this story was going to go but it was very touching and I am very happy with how it made me feel.

Parker is book 2 in this hilarious series by David Michael. I really enjoyed Porter, but I loved Parker. I knew he was going to give me a good, emotional, hot ride! Parker almost dies from an overdose and it appears that his family has written him off. He doesn’t blame them, but he's trying to change and wants their support. No one is willing to look past his mistakes until he meets Rebecca. She's a friend of Holly's who's his last resort for a ride home from rehab. Rebecca hates him before she even meets him, but she's incredibly attracted to him. Rebecca has a haunting past which keeps her from getting too close to men. But there's something about Parker and his soulful eyes and dreamy voice that has her body on fire. They get each other like no one else ever has. One minute they are fighting and then they are ripping of each other's clothes. Their relationship is much more than the physical. They bond on an emotional level over food and making music. She sees a side of him that no one else does and she's going to be there for him when he faces his family. Porter, Holly and Preston should be ashamed of themselves. Not going to lie, I hated Holly in this, so if you loved her in Porter, watch out! Will Parker finally decide to change and be the man he always wanted to be? Can Rebecca open up and let love into her heart again? I loved this story! Parker and Rebecca are hilarious and I was literally laughing so hard I was crying over Mitch! Bring on Preston!

"You're my muse Rebecca Sloan. I don't think I can ever let you go at this point."

"You're the itch to my bitch, the Han to my Solo, the Bonnie to my Clyde. I'm not going anywhere and neither is our friendship."

"I guess that's fair. You sit back and watch a master work."
"You've always been such a humble boy," she teased.
"I learned it from my mommy."

It's been a long wait for Parkers story. Was I disappointed? Definitely not. Am I absolutely 100% in love with it? sadly no.
Parker has always been the royal screw up of the Hale family. Drugs, alcohol and easy women. A cocktail for disaster. After hitting his lowest a spitfire of a woman is put in his path. Turns out that woman would be his absolute support in getting himself straight.
Rebecca is a whole heap of broken on her own but she sees something in Parker from the moment they meet. They build their relationship on friendship and support. And when Parkers own family don't support him in the means he needs she is there to give them a serve and maybe kick a little a*^#.
We are introduced to Prestons struggles towards the end so this had my anticipation for his story perking it's head. And by the end I can't wait for his roller coaster.
Now what I didn't love was Holly, she was awesome in Porter but Parkers story, Holly became an absolute selfish b*^#h. She is ruined for me now, and while I loved the ending per say I didn't like how the focuses was back on her story. Let the ending shine on Parker and Rebecca. Also the time lining of a significant factor to events was a bit fast for me. If you pick up on it you'll know what I mean, if you don't you will remain gloriously ignorant to it and it won't impact your thoughts of the story at all. So that's a good thing.
Mitch as usual was a shining light of gay glory. His story will be divine!
I did live Parker and Rebecca's story and give it a solid 4 stars. Keep it coming David.

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for this book to be published. Seriously, if David hadn't have got it done when he did I would have remortgaged my house to buy the plane tickets to get myself to America and beat it it out of him!
I knew I was going to love Parker. Everyone loves a reformed bad boy, right?
He came to us on the back of a massive cliff hanger, we knew his story would be trouble while at the same time heart breaking and beautiful. He's that type of guy, he messes with your heart and your head.
There are so many feels in this book. I can literally feel my heart doing little somersaults as we speak.
I'm a bit of a sucker for these types of fall fast and hard love stories and this was a good one.

I tell you what else amazes me...how I forget that David is a male author. I just merrily read the words, drowning in the feels, feeling the sexytimes, giggling away to myself and then bam...I'll remember that he isn't supposed to know some of that shit I've just read. They're are girl codes to abide by here and David goes along with them like the best of us!

I did kind of call the ending, and the epilogue...saw that coming from a mile off but do you know what....I don't care!

This is not a coherent review, at all. But that kind of represents how I feel after finishing the book. I'm a bloody mishmash of emotions.

5 Crazy Ass Must Read Stars!!!!!

Parker picks up right where things left off in Porter. I was clutching my heart right from the start. The tears were aplenty. Seriously, that's two books about porn stars that have made me cry! Yes, cry! Porter had an emotional tinge to it but Parker was jammed packed with emotion. Between Becks and Parker, I was a mess.

I wasn't sure how the story would play out because this time around, I didn't read the blurb because I just knew I wanted Parker's story. I didn't even know that Becks would be involved. I was pleasantly surprised when I turned that page and it was her POV. I squealed because she is my favorite of the all the characters. (Shhh, don't tell Mitch or he'll have a hissy fit.) This was another surprising story. Not in the sense that you might think surprising either. This story has so much emotional depth and complexity.

I was sucked in right from the start and just devoured it. What probably should have took two days for me to read, took just a few hours. Yup, life got a little neglected but hey, that's what a great story should do, right? You should get so lost in the story that you lose track of time.

I'm looking forward to reading Preston's story. I'm also wondering how David Michael will top this one. (Pun intended.) I'm engaging stalk mode now so I can find out when to expect Preston's story.

David Michael has written us another AMAZING story with Parker, Book Two in the Dick Dynasty. It has everything you want in a book and had me reading it all in one sitting. It had me laughing, crying, cheering for specific people in the book, expecting things to happen and then totally surprised when they didn't.

When Porter, Book One in the Dick Dynasty ended, I was stunned, shocked, scared and praying for positive in what was to come next. David Michael has developed a story that has touched very close to my heart and my family.

Remembering what brought you to where you are, what has influenced you and why you do things isn't always easy to swallow, so you make choices that aren't easy for those around you to accept, especially family. Life altering events, huge decisions and commitments are sometimes what are needed to open your eyes and Parker is faced with more than a few of these.

Meeting Rebecca and realizing how important she is, when least expecting it was really helpful for Parker in this story, for both of them, and things got really interesting and HOT! I absolutely loved how the story developed with her history too. I love how David Pulls me in emotionally.

Thank you David for an outstanding story. Keep up the fantastic writing.

Two Dicks Down, One Left To Come and I Can't Freaking Wait

Another great book in the Dick Dynasty Series. I loved Parker & Rebecca's story. This book had me swearing, it also had me smiling and it definitely made me laugh time and time again. I wanted to strangle Parker but as the story went on I found myself rooting for him and pissed off at everyone who wasn't in his corner. I loved Mitch and Rebecca's friendship it had me howling at times.

I can't wait for the next book in this series, just like the first book this one ends making me so excited for the next one.

Parker is the middle child, and Rebecca tells him he has the middle child syndrome as well. Growing up as a dick dynasty member he's had major downs, and huge setbacks. Rebecca now in his life is his one and only supporter in believing he can keep his head up and his nose clean, literally.
Rebecca has had just as much trouble emotionally as Parker has just in different ways. The bond these two forge allows them to grow emotionally individually and as a couple.

This book is a new age love story that shows what couples go through to be with each other. The struggles are real, the love is even better.
I love me some Parker!!!

Omg omg omg! And I thought Porter was great. This takes the cake and there's still one to go! Parker is the screw up...has the porn deal but can't keep sober. After a near fatal overdose, he wants to be a better man but can't seem to find the motivation. Enter Rebecca. She gets suckered into picking him up from rehab and their story begins. She is the first to actually care. They both have baggage but can they each support the other? Can she be his rock and deal with the negativity of her friends and his family? I absolutely LOVED this book. So realistic, so romantic and some great LOL moments. Kudos to the author and I can't wait to read Preston!

FEELS!!!! This book will give you ALL the feels!! Parker & Becks definitely have a bit more angst and feels in their story, but I think this is where David shines as an author. There is something that will get everybody in the feels. You will most likely laugh until you can't breathe (and possibly pee your pants), you will have watery eyes and a mushy gooey heart, and you may feel like you got kicked in the gut.
It all comes together in an amazing story that you don't want to miss out on.
And now we wait, not so patiently, on brother #3, Preston ❤️

For someone who doesn't really like reading books written by men, I simply can't ignore the sheer brilliance of this man, and author. He made me love him with the story of Porter and his porn d**k but Parker...Yeah, he made me a lifelong fan with this book. I simply can't see how he could get rid of me now.

I think that anyone will love this story because if you read romance and love hot books you will ADORE this one, because HELLO! Porn industry! Lol Anyway, I do hope you give this author and book a chance like I did and haven't regretted it since!

Outstanding! Parker needs help and he needs to feel valued. Can Rebecca open her heart? Will she compromise her relationship with her best friends?

David Michael's phenomenal writing gave me a front row to all the excitement in this book. Parker was filled with comedy, tough real-life problems and hope. Although this book has it's HEA I'm itching to read Preston's story, the third brother in the Dick Dynasty.

Loved loved loved it ❤️ honestly how could you not fall completely in love with that broken boy. Parker and Rebecca were just made for each other, we got to see their lows and then their amazing highs, this book was beyond awesome and had the absolutely perfect ending. Now I really really need Preston in my life

I loved Parker so much. What a roller coaster! I went from laughing, crying, cussing at my kindle to laughing again. I want to wrap Parker in bubble wrap though. Well done David!
