Woolf Tales #2
Good Lord
GOOD LORD (Woolf Tales 2)
Thrilling, dark, erotic and intriguing. The new novel from Viva Gold picks up where Izzy’s Boy leaves off and we see the cast of characters embark on the next phase of their lives fraught with terror, filled with love, and quite a bit of consensual pain! This is not a BDSM story – it's filthy in parts; utterly abhorrent in others and downright sexy throughout.
Lord Jason Greenall doesn’t have a very high opinion of himself, but one thing he does know is that he deserves to be loved just like anyone else. It is with this in mind that he separates from his boyfriends, G & T, who happen to be twins that are more in love with each other than they care to admit, and goes home to Greenall Manor to lick his wounds and ponder on life in general.
Sipping tea in the conservatory with his beloved mother, Jason gets an eyeful of his French cousin Remi, who he hasn’t seen for a few years. Oh boy, Remi grew up to be somewhat delicious. Tall, and muscly, black hair and blue eyes, olive skinned and surly – everything Jason is attracted to and trying hard not to show it.
Remi has come to live at Greenall Manor while studying at Oxford. His mother is married to Jason’s father’s first cousin Marc, which means they are not blood related. Not that that would prevent Remi from taking what he wants. And he wants Jason. And he takes him. No safe words; no limits.
Their story includes Izzy and Adam of course, and the Twins. But we also meet Angel in a set of disturbing circumstances that could easily devastate the entire family. Remi is not as bullish as he would appear but he does have tendencies that make him volatile and unpredictable. Izzy is not ok with this at all and unleashes his Dom all over the lot of them.
Jason finds himself in predicaments and situations both physical and emotional that could either make him or break him…. Oh, Good Lord.

My apologies, this review is long overdue, but good grief, this book was worth it!
I loved the characters from the first book, and Jason was definitely one of my favourites (thought the top spot is reserved for those gorgeous twins!).
Let me start off by saying that Viva Gold is one hell of a writer. Her prose pours across the surface with a graceful ease that is the mark of someone who loves her craft. Viva is a lover of words, and in this instalment, she does not disappoint, and her style shines very, very brightly.
Right, now that’s over with. OMG. This book made me wince so many times. Is it wrong that this is a good thing? I read this book while in hospital, which was just as well because on more than one occasion I needed resuscitation! This book should come with a health warning and be re-named Good God! I was wondering if Viva would be able to TOP the first book, which in itself was a vivid experience, but oh boy, not only did she top it, she added a ball gap to finish it off! It is not often that a book leaves me speechless, but this one left me totally breathless. I am now team Remi...and I know that is so wrong on so many levels, but I just cannot help myself. Viva, I blame you. I blame you for making my heart work overtime and for me gasping out loud with utter amazement...and admiration. Bravo. This book is superb.

Good Lord is the second book in the Woolf Tales series by Viva Gold. I enjoyed reading this book. It does pick up right after Izzy’s Boy, the first book in the series, and I was so hoping it was going to be about Jason, Izzy’s PA extraordinaire, and his twin boyfriends, G & T, but alas that isn’t what was in the cards for Jason.
I was proud of him for wanting to be loved just as much as G loves T and T loves G so he does the only thing that he can, he dumps them and takes vacation time and runs home to Greenall Manor to his mum to lick his wounds. What he finds is a cousin that’s staying there while he attends Oxford. Remi is Jason’s Dad’s first cousin’s stepson. Wow wasn’t that a mouth full, but what it means is that Remi isn’t blood-related to Jason. Yeah! Not that that would have been a reason not to read the book if they had been related as they would have only been second cousins.
Jason may not remember his gorgeously rugged cousin, but Remi sure remembers Jason and has had a crush on him for a long time and has been following his life or as Jason puts it, stalking him. Jason decides to use his cousin as a way to get over G & T, but he doesn’t know what he’s about to get himself into. Jason knows from being around his boss, Izzy, about the BDSM lifestyle but as Remi says he isn’t a Dom, he’s a deviant, and he doesn’t believe in safe words or stopping, or the comfort of his partner as Jason finds out. And I won’t lie, the first forty-one percent of the book was a little hard to stomach and pushed my boundaries, but I’m glad that I pushed through to the end of the book.
I started out not liking Remi and the way that he treated Jason, but Jason’s body seemed to like what Remi was doing to him even if Jason wasn’t sure that he liked what was being done to him. And as I continued to read the book and got to see into how Remi became the way that he was, I found myself sympathizing with him, and after Angel became a part of their relationship, I even found myself liking Remi. And the BDSM scene at the end of the book was hot. I absolutely loved Angel. He had a rough life, but I loved his upbeat attitude and how naturally submissive he was. He was like a super energetic puppy. Always wanting to please and be loved. I also liked that all of the characters in the book were close in age, Jason at twenty-six, Remi at twenty-one (although he acts like he is older due to experiences), and Angel at eighteen.
I can’t wait to see what Viva Gold comes up with for the next book in the series. I’m hoping for a book about G & T.
As with Izzy’s Boy, Good Lord could use another round of edits. Although it had fewer errors than the first book in the series, it did still have quite a few verb tense issues and some other grammar issues, and I was reading my purchased copy and not the arc copy.
***I would like to thank the author for the privilege and opportunity of reading this ARC. My review is an honest opinion of the book ***

Oh dear Lord, what have l just read ?
Shivers ....
This book continues from where book 1 , Izzy's Boy left off.
l loved all the characters and the story, especially all the "action" in the first book.
Jason, Lord Grenfall, PA extraordinaire to Izzy Woolf makes some life changing decisions
and goes home to his mummy at Greenall Manor to sulk and escape his misery.
What he does not expect to find, is a hunk of a man that catches his eye straight away.
Remi , is the French cousin living in Greenall Manor while studying at Oxford.
Jason may not recognise his cousin, but the same cannot be said about Remi.
Remi had grown up with a huge crush on Jason, and had been following his life constantly.
Remi has a difficult pass, a pass that has molded him into the young man he is today.
He wants Jason to become his...
Jason wants Remi in his bed...
Oh, mon dieu !!!
What follows is so bad , at times l felt squeamish and horrified,
l felt really bad for Jason , but that fool was loving every sick second.
A flippant remark, a misunderstanding, causes huge problems for all.
Once again Izzy and his husband Adam, and the gorgeous G & T, come to Jason's aid.
Will Remy and Jason ever have a healthy relationship?
With so many problems to solve what will happen when Angel enters the equation as well.
l think Izzy the Dom needs to take matters in to his own hands.
This book is so well written, it has taken me to such unexpected places.
l loved catching up with all the characters, especially the very naughty Lord Grenall.
l can't wait for more.

I loved this book more than the first one and I honestly didn't think that would be possible. The dynastic between these men was beautiful and almost sad at times. Wonderfully written congratulations.

3.5 star review by The Blogger Girls.
This is the follow up to Izzy’s Boy, where we met Jason, Izzy’s sassy PA and lover of the bodyguard twins, G & T. Right off the bat, this story took off in a completely different direction than what I was expecting.
Realizing he could not an equal partner in the relationship with G & T, and seeing that they would be better able to move forward with their own relationship without him in the picture, Jason calls things off and goes home to lick his wounds. There he finds his cousin (not cousin) who definitely has some issues with Jason. He has apparently been trying for years to get Jason to notice him, to no avail. Now, he doesn’t have that problem, but what ensues is quite the volatile sexual exploration. Jason simultaneously loves and hates what Remi does and brings out in him and is confused by it for some time.
Meanwhile, Remi clearly has some issues but is intent on making things work on some level with Jason. He has some pretty drastic mood swings and goes from humiliating and cruel to caring and sweet in just about the same breath. Some confusion sets Remi running, back to his past, which is where they end up meeting Angel.
Angel is a young man who had been held captive by the same man Remi with whom Remi had a prior “relationship.” Not sure what he was really thinking about returning to him, but that’s where they discovered how horrible things really were. Angel quickly takes to Remi and Jason, and the three decide to be together.
There is a lot going on with the focus of the rough sex, how they can continue with it on some level (which they both seem to actually enjoy) but be safe at the same time. They eventually turn to Izzy to help them with this, and they seem to end up on a better path.
I was a bit confused throughout this story. Remi was sending mixed signals throughout, and when it bit him in the but, he ran and got into more trouble, though it did have a good ending. It was much different than Izzy’s Boy, and while I didn’t enjoy it quite as much, I liked the different dynamics. It was nice seeing more of Izzy and Adam, and G & T as well. I’m definitely interesting in reading more in this series, if there are any planned, and wouldn’t mind seeing G & T a bit further in their relationship as well.

I am gonna say I wasn’t sure how Viva was going to follow up Izzy’s Boy, and then Good Lord, did she ever surpass my expectations.
We get to see more about the outgoing Jason, and although we only get brief glimpses of G&T I can only imagine just how hot these three were together.
Jason is hurting, and runs ‘home’ to his ancestral estate but what he doesn’t expect is to find a man who will literally turn his world upside down in more ways than one. Enter Remi, his rather naughty cousin who really enjoys putting the young Lord through his paces, and stripping away his stiff upper lip amongst other things.
The scenes between them are raw and uncensored and bordering at times on the indecent, but I LOVED THEM! Remi takes no prisoners, but has issues of his own that he needs to deal with. His past unfortunately doesn’t remain where it should and soon impacts on his flourishing relationship with Jason.
People are either going to love or hate Remi, me? I love him! Then again I always seem to go for the ones that people don’t traditionally love.
Of course we get to see Izzy and Adam in full flight, and the sight is quite magnificent, and we even get introduced to Dom Izzy *fans self*
Be warned, this book isn’t for everyone, there are scenes that some people might shy away from, but nothing is there for sensationalism, everything has a purpose and helps paint the entire picture the reader.
For a 2nd novel, the story is complex, with many different interactions and people in some scenes but it works perfectly Nothing was missed, nothing left me wondering , “what happened there?” That’s credit to Viva, and I really, REALLY cannot wait to see what she dreams up next in the Wolff tales series.

Good Lord continues from where book 1, Izzy’s Boy finished.
I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from Viva Gold in the sequel and it was as well written, unpredictable, hot and action packed as I hoped it would be.
l enjoyed all the characters, the new ones such as Remi and Angel and all the old friends from the first book.
Jason, Lord Greenall, decides to travel home to his mum at Greenall Manor in order to lick his wounds and make some decisions- he didn’t expect to find a guy that was instantly appealing to him.
Here we meet Remi , he is the French cousin living in Greenall Manor while studying at Oxford. Remi has demons, it’s these demons that have formed him into who he is now and unbeknownst to Jason, Remi has been keeping an eye on him for some time....
Okay so from here on in starts the turbulent ride that is Good Lord!
It was heart pounding, at times nerve wracking and bloody hell fire it was damn sexy!
I really had no idea where the book was heading but I buckled up and enjoyed the ride that was at some times quite shocking, but I’m quickly learning that this is Viva’s inimitable style... and what a style it is!
Viva Gold has managed to produce a worthy sequel to Izzy’s Boy and that is true talent right here...the writing is natural, perfectly pitched, and the story although unpredictable flows very well indeed from chapter to chapter, and I was impressed because with so much action it would be easy to lose the fluidity of the writing.
A definite must read author and another 5 star 💫 book...so c’mon and join the ride that is the Woolf tales but bring a fan and some Valium to keep you calm!
Well done Viva Gold!

Her characters are fabulous in a lot of ways. The humor she puts in even when the plot leads to serious places is so funny. I love a little humor in my books. She is one author that gives me what I want to read. I love these books.
