This one was definitely a short done right. : )

A cute, follow-up *FREEBIE* checking in with Henry and Ivo from Risk Taker, as the boys take a weekend away from London.

But their romantic mini-holiday began with them accidentally spending a night at Ivo's ex-fuck-buddy friend Max's place, where jealousy and insecurities flare up.

I liked where it went, though, so I'd rate this one at around 4.25 stars.

I will never get tired of Henry and Ivo. This short story is one long happy sigh.

Following a rather dramatic run-in with a tree, Henry gets a little jealous of Ivo's old journalist buddy, but Ivo soothes Henry's fears with fierce love, lots of sex, and a romantic gift.

Fabulous addition to Rule Breaker.

Ridiculously hot. I adore Henry & Ivo and this is just perfection.

If you've read Risk Taker you NEED this extra short FREEBIE!
If you haven't...you NEED to acquaint yourself with Henry & Ivo.
So. Good.

A perfect addition to Henry and Ivo’s story.

A quick fun read.

Henry is naughty on a road trip LOL.

Ivo is the romantic "sigh"

Love seeing this happy ending for Henry and Ivo. I also loved the fact that we see Ivory content with his choice and that he wouldn't change anything about his decision.

This is just another reminder to me about why Ivo does not deserve Henry. Henry doesn’t want to have this weekend with Max and either Ivo is so self-absorbed that he just doesn't notice, or he is so selfish that he chooses to disregard it. I live in hope that eventually Henry will find someone better.

Well this wasn't super fun or light and I really thought I was going to have to jump in and Punch Ivo in the face.. But, luckily he didn't fall into Max's trap and he made it all up to Henry. I am still totally in love with Henry, and would love to see more of him. This was a good extra add on for the series.

Ivo, who isn’t exactly known for being the romantic type, plans a weekend away for him and Henry. Henry’s kind of a snob (I say that in a nice way) whereas Ivo tends to go with the flow. They end up getting stuck in traffic on the way to their destination, there’s a bit of, um, an incident where the rental car isn’t drivable, and they’re forced to make other arrangements. Those arrangements being Ivo calling an old colleague Max, who just happened to have been a guy he’d slept with years before. I did not like Max at all. But I did love how Ivo and Henry handled him later when he turned into a major jerk. He’s one I have no desire to ever see a story for, even if the author did kind of try to redeem him later.

A nice story but not really necessary. Strike that. One part of the story (with regard to Ivo never wanting to get married) was necessary. The rest of it just felt like filler.

Awww Ivo and Henry. Fun little vignette before the epilogue. The boys working to have a weekend away, when everything goes wrong. Of course it wasn't going to be the perfect, just the two are still perfect together.

3.5 ⭐

[Snjez · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was lovely. Henry and Ivo are wonderful together.

[Ellen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I adore these little add-on stories that the authors has given us. I think this is one of the best series that I've read and I gobble each and every extra and wish for more.

It's no different with this story. Funny, cute, sweet... pure entertainment.

I love freebie additions to books. It's like winning the opportunity to peek inside something that wasn't supposed to be seen.

This was super fun and I love the banter between Henry and Ivo. So funny and real. I felt the love. A really great read.

A small snippet of life for Henry and Ivo after the main events of Risk Taker and before the epilogue.
