The Family Jules Collection

by Sean Ashcroft

The Complete Family Jules Collection - Including Drawn In, Checked Out, Stood Up, and the unreleased novella, Turned Over, which was previously only available to newsletter subscribers for a limited time! Drawn In - Owen Jules isn’t gay, and the last thing he expects is to get married to his childhood best friend. But when he moves back to his hometown after losing his wife, he finds Jude sick and at risk of dying. A fake marriage seems like the solution to both of their problems, but it comes with complications of its own... Checked Out - Librarian Charlie Jules really needs to stop falling for straight guys. Every man he’s been attracted to over the past year has turned out to be straight—including Scott, a cute new library patron who comes complete with an adorable puppy. Charlie was almost ready to give up on ever finding love in Hope Springs, but when Scott kisses him... twice… he starts to realise that the gorgeous man of his dreams might not be as straight as he thinks he is. Stood Up - Riley Jules has been in love with Brent Morrison since they were fifteen years old. He always thought the day of Brent’s wedding would be bittersweet, but he couldn’t have predicted that Brent’s fiancée would leave him standing at the altar. With his best friend hurting, all Riley can think of is how desperately he wants to comfort Brent—but then one thing leads to another, and before he knows it, they’re falling into bed together. It seems like a one-time thing, but… maybe Riley’s feelings aren’t so one-sided after all. Turned Over - Marcus has a crush on Lexi. Lexi has a crush on Marcus. Neither of them have ever said anything, instead pining for each other from their respective bakery and flower shop. Will this Halloween change things? The Family Jules Collection contains the full text of all three Family Jules novels, the Halloween novella Turned Over, and all the bonus scenes.

Quite cute stories, minimal angst, smut medium-to-well-done.
The only minor hang-up I had was that most of the stories are about a gay man in love with his presumed-straight friend who is then suddenly gay for them? It's on the unrealistic side, but too sweet to resist for long.
Actually, I might have liked the books even more, if they were longer than the 200-230 pages. I'd have adored more details about the town, the families of the characters etc. but ehh, you can't have it all.
Definitely recommended.

This is a great series as are all of Ashcroft's works. Normal every day sweet and charming gay men find happy lives without angst or even the kind of homophobia that rears its head on some other MM romance books. Many characters appear again in the other characters stories. I like that. One gets to check in on people met before. Other gay authors do this but not nearly as sweetly and skillfully as Ashcroft.

Owen and Riley were my favorite brothers out of the series. I enjoyed the set and read it within 2 days. My only constructive criticism would be about all the blushing. It would've been cool if there wasn't so much of it because not everyone blushes irl, darkly or otherwise. This was a sweet, low-angst read with a good bit of steam.

Honestly, Sean doesn't write a bad book! He is always a must read! As soon as a new book drops, I'm reading it like a chipmunk on crack! These 3 stories are heart warming. And a steal as the set is just .99!!!!
