Manwhore #4
Forever Your Touch
Mason Kincaid is a player.
He learned from the best—his brothers. He knows he’s a good-looking bastard and isn’t afraid to use his baby face on the ladies.
Life is sweet until he receives a call from his best friend begging Mason to look out for his baby sister, Josephine. A babysitting job is not on his list of things to do, but Keith is like a brother to him, and he can’t say no.
Then he meets Josephine and feels like a fifteen-year-old fanboy. Josephine isn’t just Keith’s little sister—she’s Mason’s favorite YouTuber, and Keith damn well knew it. The bastard probably laughed his ass off.
Celebrity crush or not, he takes his role as her fill-in big brother seriously, and he immediately understands Keith’s dislike of Jo’s self-centered boyfriend. The more time Mason spends with her, the harder it is not to beat the asshole black and blue.
And the harder it is to guard his heart.
Before long, the player is played. He falls in love with a woman who is not only taken, but seems to truly love her boyfriend.
But Mason is a Kincaid, and Kincaids don’t back down. He’s determined to change his manwhore ways and show Jo what it means to be treated right, cared for, and loved, even though she fights him with every breath.
Can he convince her to listen to her heart before it’s too late—and they lose the one thing they’ll never find again?

About the author
Apryl Baker
78 books1,832 followersSo who am I? Well, I'm the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary movies. My friends laugh at me when I scare myself watching them and tell me to stop watching them, but who doesn't love to get scared? I grew up in a small town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my parents yelled at me to go to sleep.
Growing up in a small town, I learned a lot of values and morals, I also learned parents have spies everywhere and there's always someone to tell your mama on you. So when you get grounded, what is there left to do? Read! My Aunt Jo gave me my first real romance novel. It was a romance titled "Lord Margrave's Deception." I remember it fondly. But I also learned I had a deep and abiding love of mysteries and anything paranormal. As I grew up, I started to write just that and would entertain my friends with stories featuring them as main characters.
Now, I live Huntersville, NC where I entertain my family and watch the cats get teased by the birds and laugh myself silly when they swoop down and then dive back up just out of reach. The cats start yelling something fierce...lol.
I love books, I love writing books, and I love entertaining people with my silly stories.

I saw that Mason was getting a book in the Kincaid Security & Investigations series and got really excited for more of these brothers. And then I realized that he already had a book out in this series so I decided to jump right into his and Josephine's story, especially once I saw that it was a brothers-best-friend trope.
Their story was a super slow burn, friends to...well jut a little more than friends, type of story. Honestly I would usually be really annoyed with a story like this where the main characters took forever and a day to get together but with this book I didn't mind it. There were so many sweet moments between them that made up for the lack of romantic encounters and I loved that the book was full of moments where Mason was just being incredibly adorable with his man-crush on Josephine.
Overall, a really fun book to read. It can definitely be read as a standalone if you don't mind one or two things mentioned about other characters that you won't know about if you haven't read their books. I will say though, there is definitely more to come from this couple so if you read this book, I would plan on also reading Mason, which is the continuation of them.

Forever Your Touch by Apryl Baker is Mason Kinkaid’s story. Mason is one of the remaining single Kincaid brothers. Mason is manwhore that likes the ladies and doesn’t plan to settle down until he meets his best friend’s younger sister, Josephine. His BFF calls him and asks him to watch out for his sister since he cannot – his friend’s sister Josephine has moved clear across country , changed colleges and has moved in with her boyfriend without telling her family until it was too late for them to do anything. So Mason was asked to keep an eye out for Josephine—Mason was all for keeping an eye on her until he gets a look at her and he realizes she is perfect for him but realizes she has a boyfriend, one he doesn’t like and one who treats her like dirt. So the more he does his best to look out for her, the more he is falling in love. This is such a beautifully written, hilarious, and emotionally touching Kinkaid romance read. Jo and Mason make the best couple and we get to see previous past Kinkaid couples makes appearances in this book. Only thing I didn’t like is it sort of stopped on a mini cliffhanger and there is a book two that is coming up with Mason and Jo. Bring on their book now for I need it. Mason and Jo bring the heat, the heart and the smiles in the latest by Apryl Baker .

This book made me want to read the series because I love The Kincaid Brothers and there ways. I wish I would have found this series sooner because this is a band of brothers who do what they want when they want and to whom ever they want and when Mason meets his match he will have to fight like hell to get the girl he wants.
Mason is asked bu his best friend Keith to watch over his baby sister and take care of her because he can't right now. Mason agrees and when he meets Josephine he is star struck because she is his favorite youtuber and he is so crushing hard on her. As Mason is taking care of Josephine he is trying so hard not to fall in love with her but he does and he wants her no matter what he has to do because Josephine has a boyfriend and he is a complete douche and Mason is determined to show Josephine that he is the man for her.
Can Mason win Josephine's heart or will her boyfriend be able to keep her and tell Mason to get to stepping?

Apryl Baker continues to impress me with these books and this series.
I absolutely loved Mason. I have loved all of the Kincaid brothers as I've gotten to know more about them throughout this series. And the unique women they fall for have each been fantastic leading ladies. I'm not sure I could ever pick a favorite brother or couple. Mason was pretty exceptional though. He was different from his brothers and yet similar in all the important ways. Loyal, funny, confident, dependable. All the great characteristics.
Jo was a great character to read about too. She was independent and yet so clumsy. She was kind and smart and I just loved her and Mason together. Their story progression was one that with any other author I think might have loved it less. It was kind of a slow burn, but the story itself was so good I almost didn't notice and didn't really care that I was missing the high level of steam I've come to enjoy in many of my other books.
I was really happy with the ending even if it wasn't what I was expecting. I get more Kincaid brothers so I will always be happy about that. Now I just need it to be winter already.

I loved Mason, he was such a good soul. Him and Jo were perfect for each other. I didn’t even notice there was zero smut until the book was over. I’m very much looking forward to the continuation of their story

Let's start with the fact that the name of the series is Manwhore Series. You can just imagine what it's going to be about. Well let me tell you. It's a series about the Kincaid brothers, their manwhore ways and the women that change them into one woman men. Forever Your Touch is the fourth book in the series by Apryl Baker. It's also the first I have read! I really enjoyed reading it and want to go back to read the ones that came before about the other brothers.
The story revolves around Josephine and her new Fill In Big Brother (FIBB), Mason Kincaid. Mason was sent by his best friend to look over Josephine when she moved to NYC for college and with her boyfriend. There are a few surprises for them. Mason didn't expect his favorite YouTube star to be his bbf's sister, and Jo doesn't expect to feel sparks with someone who is not her boyfriend.
I really liked reading about these two characters and the way they help each other out. Mason is going through some family issues with his father being sick and Jo is there for him when he needs a shoulder to lean on. Mason on the other hand is protective of Jo and helps her with anything she needs. They develop a really nice friendship before anything else creating a great foundation for their relationship.
I loved the chemistry these two characters had, as well as, their interactions. The only thing that I really didn't like was the fact that the story ended in a small cliffhanger. I wish I was warned about it before. Honestly, I expected it when I saw the way the story was developing compared to how much was left, but I still wish there wasn't a cliffhanger.
I recommend you read Forever Your Touch by Apryl Baker. You can start that the beginning of the series, or just jump in with this story. I can't wait to read the conclusion of Mason and Jo's story that will be coming out later this year.

Truthfully I was so happy to see Mason's story available, that I didn't even bother to read the blurb. Or the reviews. Because, Mason! I got to the very last sentence and almost jumped out of my chair. What do you mean I have to wait until the winter to read the rest of the story???!!!!!
So, be warned - this one ends with a cliffhanger.
Well edited.
Mason and Jo. Just love them both. Mason gets a call from his best friend asking him to keep an eye on his baby sister. Jo has moved in with her boyfriend and very far away from family. They don't like said boyfriend - not even a little. Mason decides to help his friend, and to form his own opinion. Very soon, he sees that his friend is right to have concerns. Jo, however, is blinded by time and comfort. Eventually, though, she begins to see that Ray is not all that. Especially when compared to Mason. An accident occurs - Mason is there and Ray is not. Mason's family has lots of turmoil - their dad is sick and Becca is surprised with twins, one of whom is very ill. All the while they envelope Jo into their clan, watching over her as well as Ronin and Becca. By the end, things are looking up for Mason - at least where Jo is concerned. But in the shadows lurks a not so nice presence. And that is where we are left. Who is in the shadows? What threat do they represent? And, to whom - Mason, Jo, or both?
I am fairly sure I will have to reread when the next book comes out, just to make things fresh. Love the way the Kincaid clan pulls together in good times and bad. Love the way they fold every new addition right into the fold - immediately and with no question. Looking forward to more. Enjoy!

Well it's completely safe and no triggers because they don't even kiss and become a couple until the last few pages. Zero love scenes and she has a boyfriend for most of the book. For a book with the subtitle "Manwhore" this read more like a sweet teenage love story, except for the swearing.
Despite my disappointment with the absence of romance, it was entertaining story. Jo a 20 year old College student has moved to New York and transferred colleges to be with her boyfriend Ray. They are living next door to his parents who Jo reveals don't like her. Her family doesn't like Ray either but mainly how he treats her and his refusal to spend time with her around them.
Jo's brother asks his best friend Mason to look out for her. Turns out Jo is his favorite YouTuber and he's had a fan crush on her but doesn't intend to go there because obviously she has boyfriend.
The boyfriend Ray isn't abusive physically or verbally but emotionally he's selfish and puts himself first. For instance not letting her use his car and making her use public transportation in a dangerous city like NY because he doesn't want to rack up mileage (such an ass). He takes off fishing with his dad on the weekends. He makes her split the bill whenever they go out and only want to go places he wants. And even though he doesn't like the idea of this other guy being a fill in big brother for Jo he isn't willing to be a man who puts his woman first.
So Jo and Mason they spend time together and develop a close friendship. She starts to see Ray's flaws in comparison to how Mason treats her but she still stubbornly continues to love him. I won't go into all the ways he wasn't there for her when Mason was but even after he spectacularly lets her down and isn't there for her when she has a serious injury, she's still saying she loves him. She finally ends it with him, realizes Mason is in love with her but isn't ready to jump into a new relationship and he's like a saint saying he'll stay her friend until she's ready.
In between there a scenes with Mason's family who are the subject of other books in this and the Kinkaid series and Jo and Mason's story is told in "Mason" which added to my disappointment because then this book was just a full length prequel. Using the look inside feature on Amazon I don't think I will bother reading it since it's not available on KU, it looks like Jo gets a stalker in that book and it may or may not be the ex and they still haven't done the deed quite a bit into the story.
To sum up, it kept my interest but if you are looking for heart-melting romance and some smoking love scenes take a pass. Go into it knowing you will need to read another book to get to their HEA.

Jo and Mason
Mason got called in to be the fill in big brother for his best friend. So that meant getting to meet someone he adored online. Jo was his online crush and now he gets to find that out.
Jo just moved to new york with her boyfriend Ray- he was a good guy but didnt put Jo as his priority number one. So her brother sent her mason.
The adventures begin when you cannot hope to compare each man and she felt guilty feeling things for both of them. Her past/present and her new best friend/FIBB.
Then an accident and his dads diagnosis change everything.
He might have found the love of his life, but did she?
I really loved this story. A continuation of the Kincaid clan, with babies. Mateo, Delia, twin boys, Lily's new baby Rose and Becca's unexpected twins- one fighting their biggest fight (this one is going to be even more protected by her dad, and uncles) and of course a brief mention of Angel's girl.
All the kincaid men with previous stories get to show off more of their families. It's about time Mason gets a glimpse of what he wants too, but Jo's just a friend. Connor is loving being an uncle and the darkness isnt as dark- thank god.
I loved this story, a great beginning. This story leaves us with a little cliff hanger. Their story will continue with Kincaid security book 3.
I love how these brothers are getting their own stories and how they all seem to happen in the last couple years of each other, some at the same time too. A family tree is needed.
I hope Ronin beats the odds. Thank god we finally get to know more about that.
So two books I am excited about: Connor's and the conlcusion to Mason's story.
I do also want to know about Max, Dylan and Gabe- so want them to have a story each.
I am wondering if Ray- is going to come unglued or something else.
As always this story has love, family, friendship and chemistry. Next time will surely have intrigue and more updates about all the brothers, sister-in laws and kids.

Forever Your Touch by Apryl Baker
“A happy right now, 4 stars”
Jo is convinced she’s in love with Ray. So much so that she moved cross country for him. But once they get to New York things start to change. They are more roommates than lovers. Her family never liked him and between them and her new friend Mason she’s starting to wonder if they are right. Does she deserve to be cast aside and treated second best, or does she deserve to be the center of someone’s world?
Mason isn’t a manwh0re. Or at least I don’t consider him one. His father taught his brothers and him how your supposed to treat a woman. It’s that sexy old school charm he rocks without second thought. He knows the women around him are capable of doing everything on their own, but why have them do it when they are around? So, when his best friend calls, worried about his baby sister, who happens to live not far from Mason it’s a no brainer.
Mason will become the stand in big brother. But what he didn’t expect was Jo. A woman he’s been crushing on through the computer for forever. Then he finds out she’s even better than he could have dreamed. But when he sees how her boyfriend treats her it rubs him the right way. He makes it his mission to show her how a real man treats his woman. Will he get the chance to really love her or will he stay in the friendzone until the end of time?
Forever Your Touch is more of a slow burn kind of story and the heat is more of a sexual tension nature. The only thing that could have made this story better is if I got the complete happily ever after for these two, but I have no problem waiting for that in Mason’s book coming this winter. I cannot wait to see what Baker has in store for Mason and Jo.

A terrific read!
This story hit very close to home for so many reasons, but most of all was the relationship between Jo and Ray. A lot of people don't understand that certain types of relationships can be as detrimental as those who are experiencing physical or mental abuse, just in different ways. Unfortunately, those who are in said relationships usually don't see what's going on, believe that it's normal, or excuses it away. The only way to truly help someone who is in any type of bad relationship is to be there for them, gently show them that there are other ways, and hopefully be able to help them to see their own worth and strength.
Mason was all of that and more for Jo, until she was able to make her own determination about her relationship. Will anything become of the two of them? Well, you'll have to read this to find out, but you certainly won't be disappointed.
I would strongly suggest that you read the Manwhore series from the beginning, then this book, and follow it up with the Kincaid Security and Investigation series, and then the next book in the series, Jasper, which is available on KU. Both series ard available in a boxset with the 4th book available separately, and all of which is available on KU. Each series is fantastic, both about the same group of brothers, and how they meet the other half of their hearts. I'm certainly looking forward to Connor's story, which I really hope will be released soon! (That will follow the KSI series)
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.
This story hit very close to home for so many reasons, but most of all was the relationship between Jo and Ray. A lot of people don't understand that certain types of relationships can be as detrimental as those who are experiencing physical or mental abuse, just in different ways.

I wasn’t ready for how much this book would hit me right in the heart. I thought I was signing up for a hot, confident guy learning to open up, but Forever Your Touch gave me that and an emotional slow burn that had me clutching my Kindle and grinning like crazy.
Mason Kincaid? He knows he’s got it. That confident, “I-don’t-do-feelings” vibe paired with a smile that melts hearts. When his best friend asks him to look after his baby sister—who also happens to be Mason’s favorite YouTuber? That’s when things got real.
Jo is smart, sassy, and definitely not buying Mason’s reformed playboy act… even though secretly, she’s drawn to him. Their banter? Perfect. The tension? So thick you could cut it with a knife. That “I shouldn’t want you but I do” vibe? Totally addictive.
Mason struggling with his feelings while trying to keep Jo safe from her terrible boyfriend? That protective side of him was everything. He’s caring without being overbearing, strong without losing his charm, and when he falls for Jo, he falls hard. You can’t help but cheer for him to finally let love in—and for Jo to trust him.
Apryl Baker nailed it once again. This book delivers all the heat, all the feels, and just enough angst for a truly satisfying ending. If you love reformed bad boys, strong heroines, and that “he’s always cared but now it’s real” kind of romance, Forever Your Touch will be your next favorite read.
Mason’s a Kincaid through and through—and I’m already hoping for more from this family!.

The 4th book in the Manwhore series finds playboy Mason tasked with watching out for his best friend's baby sister. She has transferred to his college after moving with her boyfriend from Cali to New York. Imagine his surprise when aspiring YouTuber Mason finds out that baby sister Josephine is his secret crush and favorite YouTube gaming star JoJo.
This book is a fun college romance that turns dark at times. The plot intertwines with the others in the series and in the companion series Kincaid Security & Investigations. Their road to HEA is a rocky road as Mason and JoJo are challenged at every turn with frat troubles and a mysterious stalker.
I loved Mason and Josephine. They are cute and engaging, and it is easy to root for them. Both prove smart and level headed and they are a great match. The storyline is tightly plotted, and I have stayed engaged through 6 books - two of the KSI series books must be read before this one to get the entire story. If you are reading through the series, "Kade" and "Viktor" from the Kincaid Security & Investigations series should be read between Manwhore book 3 "The Healing Touch" and this one.
i recommend this series to all romance and action/adventure fans. Apryl Baker writes a great story and I will be reading more of her works.

Mason is one of the last Kincaid men standing as a single manwhore, with no plans to change anything. That is, until he's asked to watch out for his best friends sister, Jo. All of a sudden, he's got feelings, but there's a big hitch, she's in a relationship with a man that her family isn't fond of, so he becomes her FIBB (Fill In Big Brother). However, the more time he spends with her, the quicker his feelings are growing for her, and Jo is learning that her relationship may not be something that she should settle for. I loved this story so much, as Mason was hysterically funny, while Jo was super sweet. They had chemistry that tried to shoot sparks out of my kindle, so I was cheering them on the whole time. What made me even happier, was the other brothers/wives from previous stories to become the amazing cast of secondaries, as they added even more to this story. I absolutely LOVE Apryl Baker's talented writing style, as it's highly addictive, not to mention she's great with the twists that turn on my f-bomb dropping button. Now there's more drama to come, since this book is only part of the story, and so I'm dying for Mason to come out, because there were several things left hanging, though not in cliffhanger fashion. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

Part 1 of 2!
This is part one of Mason & Josephine story. Why 3 starts when all the rest have been 4 & 5 star reads you ask? That would be bc of Jo! I do not understand why a person would ignore how their family felt about someone your dating! I do not understand how a person can ignore said date ignoring and never trying to be around your family! I do not understand how someone chooses to be with someone so disrespectful to your loving family! And I especially do not understand how a women allows a man to put her last, have her pay half on everything, not treat her like the queen she is (she definitely treated him that way), allow her to put herself in danger just so his car doesn't get miles on it!!! Who allows someone they love to ride the subway, cab or uber at night when he could A. pick her up or B. Let her to use the fecking car to Get home from school! No just F NO! Oh and best part Jo is in the hospital and he stays fishing saying " me being there with you isn't going to make a difference" WTF!?! Adios, see ya later and don't let the door hit cha in the @$$! I loved Mason and all the family is back in this one so you get updates! On to the next book which hopefully is on par with the others bc it looks like finally Jo has come to her senses!!!✌

I absolutely loved Mason and Jo! Mason has always been the happy go lucky player of the group. Not as serious as his brothers and definitely not ready to grow up or have a serious relationship. Well that changes when he becomes the FIBB (Fill In Big Brother) to his best friends sister when she moves to NY. The friendship that is created between Mason and Jo, despite her relationship with her boyfriend Ray, is sweet and funny. As the drama continues throughout the book, both with Mason’s family and Jo, their friendship evolves. I absolutely love the Kincaid family, the brothers are all written with such distinct and different personalities but with an inner core that is the same. This book isn’t a cliffhanger, but it will be continued further, into a more suspenseful novel, Mason, this winter and I for one, cannot wait for more from this couple! Also, I hope we get some resolution for the rest of the family’s difficult and heartbreaking situations!

When Jo leaves California and moves to NY with her boyfriend her family is concerned as they have always been protective of her and don’t like her boyfriend or the way he treats her. Her brother Keith wants someone to keep an eye on her and make sure she is doing alright so he calls his best friend Mason, who also happens to live in NY, to fill the brotherly role.
Mason is always willing to help out a friend especially when he finds out Jo is the girl he has been crushing on through YouTube and she is even better in person. Mason has always had a way with the ladies so when he sees how her boyfriend treats her he sets out to show her that she deserves better and that he wants to be the man to do it.
This is a sweet and sexy friends to lovers story. Everyone deserves to be appreciated for who they are by the people in their lives and I liked that Mason was the one that could show that to Jo. This is a great addition to the series. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

So, I haven’t read any of this series before but after I read the blurb for this book I knew it sounded like something that I would enjoy and I absolutely did! I loved every second of it! This is also the first book that I have ever read by this author and I love it when I find a new author to stalk!!
Ok so maybe the story was a little predictable, Mason was as the blurb says a bit of a manwhore and that’s true until Josephine. Even though Mason was who he was I couldn’t help but love him a little, or maybe a lot!! I loved Mason and Jo together, I thought they made such a sweet couple and I was rooting for them the whole way through.
I really liked the authors writing style, the book was easy to read and the characters were both likeable and connectable. The pace and flow of the story was good and yes whilst I probably did guess what was going to happen I still enjoyed going along for the ride with these two! I would absolutely love to read about the rest of the Kincaid brothers!!

I was so glad to realize that there was a beginning story for Mason and Josephine! I highly recommend reading this book prior to Mason’s actual book because it will make MUCH more sense! Mason is a total manwhore and womanizer but still keeps family very close to his person and his extra curricular don’t touch his family life. Josephine has been dating Ray for years and decides to move across the country with him because that is what he wants. After the move, Josephine is realizing that Ray isn’t the best boyfriend and partner, and when Mason fills in as her big brother away from home, she is treated to a man that knows how to treat a woman and his family. When a freak accident happens and everyone’s true colors come to the surface, we wonder if Josephine will leave Ray and take a chance with Mason. While the storyline was a little bit frustrating to read because I honestly seriously disliked Ray, I was really excited to see what happens after this book ended.

A great start to Mason’s story. He’s the youngest Kincaid and he’s a happy, go-lucky guy. He’s also fantastic at computers and security. He’s living up the college life at NYU and starting to get tired of it when he gets a call from his best friend Keith with a desperate plea to look

Jo has moved out to New York and is attending NYU to be close to her boyfriend. She loves him but she’s also beginning to see why her family doesn’t. He never puts her first. He was there for her in her time of need so she feels like she has to stay. She’s confused though, when Mason walks into her life, he treats her S the most precious thing in his life and it makes her feel, a lot towards him. When she is in a major situation, the truth comes out as to who will stand by her.

This feel-good romance has a happy-for-now ending that soothes just as much as it entices.
I can't wait to read more of Jospehine & Mason's story. I like the way their relationship evolved over time from an annoying brother and sister type relationship to best friends then finally to one where romance developed between them. I was glad that Jo realised that she was deserving of a good man, despite the pain of her past. I liked that Mason was respectful of Jo's feelings and relationship with her ex, but knew when to get things on a more serious level with her.
This is my first time reading Apryl Baker and I have to say I've fallen for the entire Kincaid clan hook, line & sinker!

4.5⭐️!
This is the quintessential story of deciding what you are willing to endure for love. Mason‘s character is refreshing. He has the happy go lucky but completely dependable vibes. The way he showed patience and allowed Josephine to see what she was worth for herself was great. Josephine having to figure out what she really wanted to tolerate was done really well too. How everything came at them was intense and reflects how life often is. A really great story.
If you like the I will be here for you in whatever way you want me to be kind of love this is for you. This is the definition of love is patient and love is kind.

Josephine moves to NYC for college with her boyfriend, and Mason Kincaid, her new Fill-In Big Brother (FIBB), is sent by his best friend to watch over her. Surprises unfold: Mason discovers Jo is his favorite YouTube star, and Jo feels unexpected sparks with Mason despite her relationship. Their supportive friendship—Jo helping Mason through his father’s illness and Mason protecting Jo—builds a strong foundation for their chemistry-filled bond. I loved their dynamic, but the cliffhanger ending was a letdown, though predictable. I recommend Forever Your Touch by Apryl Baker, whether starting the series or jumping in here. I’m eager for Mason and Jo’s story to conclude later this year.

Mason is one of the remaining single Kincaid brothers. Just like most of his brothers,Mason is manwhore that doesn’t want to settle down until ,he agrees to watch out for Josephine, his best friend’s sister.Josephine is perfect for Mason except for one big problem, her live in boyfriend that treats her like crap. As Mason does his best to watch out for Josephine, the harder it becomes to keep from falling in love with her. Seriously this book is hilarious and as usual the Kincaid Family is amazing. The love and connection that ties the Kincaid family together is remarkable. I love Josephine, she’s Mason’s perfect match, constantly keeping him on his toes. With every book, I like this brother is my favorite but, this time it’s really true. Mason is just so awesome and lovable, the way that he goes out of his way to help his family and friends, it’s awe inspiring. I’m dying for more of this Mason and Josephine and of course more of the Kincaids.

This is the 4th book in this awesome series, and is Mason and Jo’s story. Mason is the typical manwhore, who has no intentions of ever settling down, that is until his BFF asks him to keep an eye on his little sister. No spoilers; this story deserves to be read, you will not be disappointed! This is a beautifully written story, which is emotional, flawless, and humorous. I was totally captivated throughout, and cannot wait to read more in this fascinating series. I highly recommend this authors’ work for all readers.

A good one
I have enjoyed every book in this series. I was excited to get this 4th one. Loved emersing myself in the characters again. The Kincaid family is the greatest, sexy hot men and women who are their equal. The ending seems a little too rushed and lost some of the rhythm of the story. I especially did not like that the story is finishing in a book to be published in the winter of 2019. If I had known, I would not have read this one until the next one was available. We should have been warned that it is 1 of 2 books to get the complete Mason story.

Finally get to watch Mason fall and it was a blast. Had me laughing as he falls for Jo. But as always there are a few obstacles to beat. Had me laughing hard at this one while cheering Jo to make the choices she needs to be the best girl she can be before she chooses mason. Plus loved checking in on the rest of the family. Loved the family feel to the story while being charmed by Mason. And had me laughing hard like the rest of the series. Loved meeting Mason and getting to know him better.

This is book 4 in Baker's The Manwhore series and the final. A great addition to the series that can be read as a standalone. The series follows the Kincaid boys and their manwhore / player ways. This book focus' on Mason finding his forever love with Josephine who happens to be his best friends lil sister but also his favorite YouTuber. Close proximity makes for a close bond and chemistry sparks. A fun romance read with sweet and heat. I loved it!

Mason and Josephine were so adorable, and Forever Your Touch in the Manwhore series was such a unique addition to the series because Mason became the one chasing after Jo. It helped that he was such a fan of her YouTube station from the start, but after spending time with her, he realized he just loved her as a person too. She is currently taken, but both her brother and Mason don't think he is worth her time. With tons of humor and romantic tension, this was a great addition to this series and probably my favorite! I can't wait to see what is next!
