His Boy Next Door #32
Talking It Out
So much has changed since Jack and Channon first met. Channon's grown into his confidence, no longer paralyzed by indecision and self-doubt. But his anxieties still plague him. And when he thinks Jack wants a future that can't include him, he panics.
Jack's trying not to smother Channon, giving him space to breathe. But when he sees his boy struggling he can't just let it go. And when Channon brings up old fears and desires, Jack finds himself confronted with a truth he hadn't admitted even to himself.
He's too old for new kinks, isn't he? Or is that exactly what he needs right now?

Wow. This one had it all. The feels. The love. The kink. The heat. I just devoured it. These two men get better and better as time goes on. Can't wait for more.

From start to finish I LOVED this one! It gave us such wonderful moments between Channon and Jack. I loved Channon really talking to Jack to make sure they were on the same page, rather than letting things continue to fester. I loved Jack starting to really see a long-term future with Channon, and Channon confirming that he wants that too! (Put a ring on it, Jack!)
I absolutely loved the little kink that Jack discovered he might have with Channon. And I love that 32 stories into this couple and series, these two are still crazy hot together and discovering new things about the other. I seriously could read about these two and their friends forever. Give us more Tig!
Can't wait for more with these two.

So much fun
I adore this series more and more as it goes. I love seeing how Jack and Channon grow and learn and progress, and how their friends interact and fit into their lives (side note: I would love more Tig). The title for this was apt, as there was a fair amount of talking to work through feelings and misconceptions. Oh, and let’s not forget the fun bedroom times, complete with a kink Jack hadn’t realized he had. LOL! Loved it.

This is one of my favorite episodes. It’s kind of a sampler of everything I love about the series. There are sweet, tender moments with Jack/Channon and Jack’s family, major realizations and development in Jack/Channon’s relationship, Channon’s friends being the best bros and my favorite kink scene of theirs. So hot and so funny how they are both embarrassed but wildly turned on

I absolutely love this series. Jack and Channon are fast becoming one of my favourite couples. I could honestly read about them forever x

I love Jack and Channon. This episode was no exception. Ready for the next episode the minute the current one ends.

The good
+ Channon
+ Jack using the apple festival as an excuse to feed Channon treats
+ Channon calling Jack gorgeous and how much Jack loves hearing that from him
+ Jack protecting Channon from Gwendolyn
+ Ewan and Tig supporting Channon
+ Jack realizing communication is important and that maybe his past behavior has made it hard for Channon to reach out to him
+ Channon giving Jack this huge speech about how much he knows Jack loves him and how good it makes him feel
+ How much Jack was into this new kink they tried out, and how he was a little embarrassed about it and Channon just found it endearing
The bad
- Chris. He's a stupid brother who keeps meddling and poking at things that are none of his business
- Diana didn't take the fact that Gwendolyn was harrassing Jack's sub seriously, as if it wasn't a big deal and didn't break all the rules associated with consent. And the way she suggested it was Jack's fault for not disciplining Gwendolyn the way she wanted is the epitome of victim blaming
Quotes
x "Channon, he's not going to...do you think he's going to dump you for a woman so he can have a fucking baby? Your obsessively besotted boyfriend who worships the ground you walk on? Your ludicrous sugar daddy? Fuck you, he's more likely to buy some kind of illegal cloning technology from Russia than hook up with a woman!"
x "Because I should know better. Because you always tell me, you always say it and you mean it, I know you do. I know you. I trust you. I should trust you about this, too. Because I know you love me, and I know you want what's best for me, and you'd never do that, just get rid of me because you wanted something else. That's not how you make me feel. Not disposable. You make me feel wanted, like you like having me around. Like...just there, not even doing anything. Like it's okay to just exist. I don't have to compete with anyone else, be the best at anything, meet some...I don't know. Some standard I don't know about to make you pay attention to me. You just tell me what you want, and I can always do it. It's never too much, even when it feels too much sometimes. And if I failed you, if I tried and failed, I know you'd forgive me. You wouldn't just leave and never come back, and never tell me why, and let me find out that you had a family you didn't–"
They've come so far together. Look at them communicating, trusting each other. If only they stopped going to the stupid kink parties neither of them ever seems to really enjoy everything would be perfect. I'm really enjoying how mutually clingy they've become.
Read in 2021 and 2023.

It was fantastic to see Channon finally understand what he means to Jack. It's also nice to see Ewan and Jack sort of getting along.
I loved Channon's breakthrough, that was amazing. The pregnancy thing was squidgy for me, but I know there's always another kink being explored in these books.

A Sweetly Dirty Kink And Lots of Feels!
This chapter made me feel so much I felt like I was going to just start leaking happiness everywhere! There was a lot of talk about feelings, which I loved, and some really important discussions. There was Ewan being bratty and protective, which is one of my very favorite Ewans! There were some people we hadn't seen in a while and I'd missed them, so that was wonderful. There was a scene with someone being mean to Channon where I wanted to jump up and start clapping and cheering at how he reacted. (You go, Channon! 😍) And I absolutely adored Jack's new kink-- it's sweet and hot and dirty in the best way! And in the same scene there was a brief bit of *another* kink I'm a huge fan of! But most of all I love how strong their relationship has gotten and how they keep working at it to make sure they'll stay together and stay strong together!

I am absolutely obsessed with this series! They are sexy and sweet and kinky af. This was a great story, I for some reason always enjoy Channon being vulnerable and having his little bouts of anxiety regarding Jack. I think it is because we get to see Jack be so dang loving to Channon and show him how much he cares about him. They discover a new kink together which was unexpectedly hot. I always enjoy Jack being thrown for a loop so it was hot and entertaining to see him talk about how he thought he was too old for new kinks. While Channon and Jack have been committed to each other, this story gave us a little hint for potential way in the future commitments that I appreciated. As always, I read these too quick an do not savor them and now I just want more more more!

A new concept.
Hum! Interesting, having desires is not new to these two men. Considering Channon age, he certainly dosn't know all of his likes or dislikes. Jack who is not even middle age, suddenly liked the sound of Daddy from Channon. So much fun to read how this relationship evolves. Hope there will be more!

How does this series keep getting hotter?!?
I loved this episode so much. It's a pleasure to see Jack and Channon grow into their relationship and find their best selves, too. Plus there's all the hot and kinky sex to enjoy! I don't know how, but this author keeps topping herself with each subsequent episode. Peak romance!

Love this series!
I hope this series goes on forever.
Channon and Jack’s relationship has come along way since the beginning but there’s still room for new kink to explore. Loved this one! Now I want part 33!

The voice of love
Thank you for staying true to the characters. I love how from book one the characters had a personality but also a voice. I can re-read these stories over and over and each time find something new. Thank you for a wonderful series.
