Serving Him

by Bruce Rose

The biker made him an offer he couldn’t refuse…

As the owner of an out-of-the-way motel and gas station, Tristan Gallin had rented rooms to plenty of people, but never a man like Cy Merrill. Not only does he have wisdom in his evergreen eyes and lust in his leather pants, but he’s hiding something behind his bad-boy image.

When an early winter storm strands Cy at the motel, Tristan is more than willing to provide room service and anything else the mysterious man wants, including plenty of kinky sex. It isn’t long before their wicked encounters become something much deeper, but will these two very different men find a way to be together, or will their relationship only be a fling?

This kinky story has been rated raunchy AF with lots of dirty talk, plenty of erotic encounters, and just enough romance to keep things sweet. 33,000 words or 132 pages.

I freaking loved this book. 😍 After enjoying the first book in the series, “Only For You” immensely, I knew I had to read the second book in the series ASAP. 😁 And if you didn’t notice it from the blurb, these books are in the series only because of the similar running theme, there will be crossdressing, lots of kinky, erotic sex and some fetishes. 😉 None of the books are related and you can enjoy them perfectly as standalones. Now, let’s get to reviewing! 🥰

Tristan is a gas station attendant and a motel owner in the middle of nowhere. His life is monotonous to say the least, he wakes up, he opens his small roadside shop, serves whoever turns up and sleep. Life has been dull and meaningless since he lost his brother a few years ago. But everything changed when a giant, gruff leather daddy with a huge bike turns up at his shop. Tristan wanted nothing more than to climb that delicious specimen of Alpha biker. And to his surprise, the sexy biker decided to stay in his small motel for a week. And he wanted more than regular room service of course. 😉 Now Tristan has to decide whether he dare or not. 😁 After all, what’s the harm in indulging your fantasies with the sexiest man he’s ever met for one whole week.

Although it started out really kinky, sexy and erotic, this book definitely has a depth to it. 😌 Tristan has a very sad past, everyone he’s ever loved has left him alone in this world. 😭 He’s lonely and sad but he doesn’t give up. He wakes up everyday and opens his shop because he knows his shop and motel is the only difference between life and death for a lot of people on this road. Cy is also running away from his past. Despite his gruff exterior and Alpha make exuberance, he’s actually a big softie best inside, loving, caring and very possessive. I think they couldn’t have found a better lover in each other. Started insanely hot and kinky. 🔥🔥🔥 Damn, all those teases and creative sex! 🔥 I’m one very happy reader! 🤣 (Although a bit hot and bothered! 😏) I loved that there’s a sold storyline behind all those kinkiness. ❤️ And it was a delight to see the relationship blossoms between Cy and Tristan. It was beautiful and lovely. 🥰 They also had to work for their HEA and it was a bit angsty before the HEA. 😭 But the tears were well worth it in the end. Tristan and Cy had the best happy ending and domesticity suits both of them. 😍 I can’t already wait for next book in the series. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a beautiful love story, manties and butt virgins! 😉

How do you take something that starts out so deliciously erotic and turn it into a love story that melts my heart? Well ask Bruce Rose, because he manages to do it to me with every romance novel he writes. The prince of one-handed reads strikes again with Room Service.

Bruce Rose combines gorgeous sex scenes with a fantastic story, and what makes this one so special is the connection the characters make. Opposites in every way, Tristan and Cy never expected their hot and dirty hook-up to be anything more than sex. Dropping inhibitions allows these two men to open up to each other on such an intimate level, it’s absolutely beautiful.

I can always count on Bruce Rose to make me laugh, plus he always includes some great take-away messages in his stories. Themes like positive self-esteem, showing kindness to our fellow man, and finding the confidence to open up to new experiences are running through this one. Dirty, sweet, funny, and heartwarming, Room Service is absolute perfection.

4 kinky stars. I've not read Bruce Rose before but I had to try this one because Shin RAVED about Only For You. I liked Cy and Tristan. Ignoring the porn movie style beginning, this was extremely well done. Cy is all Alpha, and Tristan the blushing virgin, but WOW, I loved their dynamic. Tristan was nervous and unsure at first, but as soon as he got over that he became a pretty cute alpha too, lol. And Cy isn't really ALL alpha. His build certainly makes you think that, but his gentleness and caring is what really makes Cy attractive.

There is a lot, a lot, a lot, of sex, but there is also feeling and a genuine story. Tristan has been alone for a while, dreaming of a man who he could call his own. His family history is sad (which I won't give away) but it hasn't ruined his good nature and willingness to help others. And his kindness rubs off on Cy and they help each other. It was really sweet. The ending is almost like I thought it would be and I see them having a wonderful life. I do recommend this as an introduction to the author and you don't have to read the series in order. They are completely standalone, 100%.

Pure fantasy.

I really loved this and couldn’t put it down. It was a different story for Bruce Rose fans. I don’t want to give anything away, but I’ll just say I was surprised and delighted with how the story progressed. I’m one of Bruce’s fans. I’ve got a couple of unread books by him on my kindle. I save them for when I want to know I’ll read something I like.

I received this book from the author through the Goodreads ‘Don’t Buy My Love’ program for an honest and unbiased review. Room Service is the second book in the ‘Panty Games’ series. It stars Tristan Gallin, a young man who owns a tiny motel in the mountains, and Cy Merrill, a biker who’s much older than Tristan. The story is told in third person from Tristan’s pov.


I didn’t read the first book in this series, but had no trouble in following what happened in Room Service. It can be read as a standalone.

I’ve read a few of this author’s other books before, and they’ve all been sexy. However, this book is the sweetest of the ones I’ve read. Tristan is a young man who runs a four-room motel by himself out in the mountains. He’s alone and there’s a reason for that, which I won’t reveal. He loves the mountains but wishes he could share his life with someone. One day an early snowstorm strands Cy who needs a room until the roads are clear. Cy brings to life all of Tristan’s fantasies. Mix an older cynical biker and a sweet, caring, virgin, and there’s a lot of sex, sex, sex. I don’t remember how long Cy stays at the hotel, but both men are changed. Tristan’s care and consideration for everyone he meets has an effect on Cy, and of course, Tristan gains a lot of experience. The story starts out with them both just wanting sex, but gradually they open up to each other.

The author did a good job making each character have a distinct personality and sustaining it throughout the story. Cy is the one who seems most changed, but it’s more as if his true personality is revealed because of Tristan. I know this book is fantasy, but I did think Tristan was rather crazy or had a death wish to hook up with a biker in an isolated place. Anything could have happened.

I enjoyed the story and the characters and if a reader wanted a book recommendation from this author, I’d suggest this one, because of its sweetness and sexiness.

However, as much as I enjoyed this story, I have one major quibble. Anyone who reads my reviews knows how I feel about covers. They should represent the story, because they are part of the story, and this one doesn’t represent the book in any way. It’s not because of the color pink. It’s because neither of the models look like an older biker. The story distinctly states that the biker has, ‘long black hair’ and ‘is in his mid-thirties or early forties.’ Both models on the cover look like frat boys and would be suitable to that kind of story. This cover is misleading and doesn’t do the book justice, especially since it’s such a good story. I would have at least expected one of the men to be older or be wearing a leather jacket, because the jacket was mentioned multiple times.

Overall, I enjoyed Room Service and the characters. However, I don’t think the cover is a good representation of the story or characters. If I had not read this author’s books before, I likely wouldn’t have read this book because of the cover. In the end, I give the story 4 Stars because it was a good read.

I was given a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.
I'm not going to rehash the synopsis as that can be read elsewhere.
I have not read anything by this author so I as really happy to be offered this book. It is well written and the characters are very likeable. I felt at first that this was going to be a snippet because the book is short but we actually get a full story but focus on the first meeting and then the first week of Tristan and Cy's relationship. Even though their future is only mentioned briefly I felt that this would be classed as a HEA ending. There is some kink and some very hot sex scenes but it isn't a BDSM story.
This is book 2 in the Panty Games series but it can be read as a standalone.
I will definitely be reading book 1 and other books by Bruce.

This story was a nice surprise, while I was expecting just an erotic story (which is fine) but it was more than that. Tristan has been alone for a long time and had a hard time before that. Cy is getting away from his life for a bit and finds something much more than some freedom.

I liked these two and the fact that they were able to figure out how to make everything work. They were much more than the gas station attendant and biker that we first saw. I saw Tristan’s hurt when he was sure that he would have been left by Cy just like everyone in his family.

I received a copy of this book and am giving an honest review.

Scorching hot! Plenty of cold showers needed to get through this book!

Loved it.

I did not expect to feel a range of emotions on this one but it got me right in the feels.

If you love kinky hotness, extra fun times and a little bit of emotional feels then you will love this one.

Highly recommend.

4 stars

Tristan owns and runs a gas station/convenience store and small motel up in the foothills? mountains? (Somewhere they get snow and only have summer residents and campers.) One day, as he is closing, a someone on a bike stops to get gas, and since it is snowing, Tristan offers him a room. As the gas station doesn't really do meals, Tristan shares the meal he has prepared with Cy.
Since Tristan doesn't get down the mountain, he doesn't get much opportunity to meet other guys, and Cy pushes all of his buttons. Tristan seems to push Cy's buttons, too.
Cy is trying to temporarily get away from his life and ends up at a remote gas station. When he sees that Tristan, he decides that here is a good place to stop, especially since the snow is starting to really come down. What started out as a fling soon turns serious between the two of them, but with an end date for their being together, they don't really have a chance to be long term.

This book actually benefited from me not writing my review right after I read it, because I felt it was more a 3-3.5 star read, which is what I rated it when I finished it. But this morning, as I started to write this review, I thought to myself that it was sweet and warm and fuzzy, with just a hint of kink and plenty of spice, which warranted more than a 3.5 star rating.
We get the full story of both Tristan and Cy in a short amount of pages. They tell their stories naturally, without it feeling forced. Both of them have things that hurt them, some of the events more recent than others, but they are both open to new experiences and meeting new people. This is refreshing in the romance world, where being hurt usually means a "in my life, I will never be hurt again!!!" vow.
Although things happened quickly for Cy and Tristan to begin with, I believed in them because they took it slowly in the end. There was no ridiculousness of moving in together after a couple of weeks. They worked at their HEA, and even if we didn't get to see the intimate details of their day-to-day interactions during that time frame, we do get an overview of it.
This is a book to cuddle up to on a cool night and just let it envelop you in a rosy glow of sweetness.

Tristan Gallin owns a gas station/motel in the mountains. He's had a difficult life where all of his relationships are concerned and he's lonely. He keeps at his routine day in and day out until Cy Merrill pulls up on his motorcycle. Cy is covered in leather, tough looking, and pushes everyone one of Tristan's buttons. Cy is looking to get away for a bit and gets a room, and he and Tristan end up sharing a meal. Cy is looking for more than your basic room service and Tristan is more than happy to give the sexy biker what he wants. What follows is a very kinky few days of hot sex including manties when a winter storm hits and keeps . This isn't just a story with a biker and hot sex though. There is a lot more to both of these guys. Cy isn't just a tough biker. And Tristan has good reasons to be lonely. They are the perfect match for each other though. And both characters are well fleshed out. I was surprised and happy to find that it wasn't just hot sex. The characters are likable and in the end we get to see them have a really sweet happy ending.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys smoking hot, kinky sex with manties and a good dose of dominance but with sweet and loving characters. It was an enjoyable read from start to finish.

Tristan Gallin, 22, lives in the remote mountains running his four room motel and gas station. He's not expecting any excitement but when he lays eyes on the biker looking to rent a room he can't help but fantasize about what could be but most likely isn't to happen.

Cy Merrill rolls into Tristan's neck of the woods on his motorcycle in leather after leaving a bad relationship. He's planning on a road trip but a winter storms sticks him in the middle of nowhere with a cute gas station attendant.

Cy offers Tristan an option. What starts as a little fun to pass the time turns out to be a lot more for the two of them. But Cy's expected to leave after a week and Tristan doesn't know where that leaves them.

I've not read many of this author's books but I've enjoyed everyone I have read. This one was no different and had a great balance of fun, kinky, sweet and romantic. Tristan and Cy were likable characters and I enjoyed getting to know them and some of their back story. They both were well developed balanced characters and had more depth in them then one would expect going into this reading which was a very nice surprise. The two of them had fantastic chemistry (quite kinky) and I liked how Tristan and Cy could open each others eyes and had room for growth.

Another wonderful story from Mr. Rose. I am in awe of the fun and sexy times mixed with subtle serious overtones that he produces in all his stories. Room Service was no exception to the continued love I have going everytime I pick up once of his short stories.

Cy and Tristan could have met and gone their separate ways, but as luck would have it, motorcycles and snow, just don't go. When these two men come together, fires burn brighter. I loved the twist halfway through and how Tristan was sure how things were going to turn out, only to have them turn right back around. I could have happily read about the two of these guys for a long while.

This was a fun story. It was high on the raunchy scenes with a surprising side of romance. It flowed really nicely. I was never bored with the story. It was definitely a never judge a book by its cover read for me.

This was a surprisingly sweet story about a lonely gas station attendant and a guy looking for a room. Despite the title, there's not really any bdsm in it. The sex scenes were creative and not the usual. If you're looking for a quick snack of a book, this one is well rounded!

Queer romance. Almost entirely pure smut but with genuine relationship development. Highly enjoyable if not predictable.
