His father, Judge Braun finds the perfect lover to save his son. The judge asks Noah to take Shawn into his home to complete his sentence.
Everything changes when Noah and Shawn meet and find themselves living together. Noah is determined to do whatever it takes to prove to Shawn that their relationship will be different from his nightmarish one with Jasper.

After months of chatting online with the mysterious Charles, Nathan leaves behind his life in a small town in Pennsylvania to move to London for a man he’s never seen.

Redeeming Jayden
JAYDEN BARRON

Affluent, generous, thirty-two-year-old, German translator, Harlan Wendell has every material possession he could want, but no love in his life. He hires young Jayden to recreate his family portraits lost in a fire.

When events take a dramatic turn and secrets are revealed, can Harlan protect Jayden and their love?
Note: Can be read in any order.

Not my cuppa. Read like it was attempting to be a bdsm how to guide w little to no real info beyond vague references and a few scenes. But there’s so much smex in each book it felt like they were meant to be erotica w a bit of plot thrown in.
I get that I sound super mean here but I wa t to be clear bc for many, that’s EXACTLY what they WANT.
Also the audio isn’t exactly bad, more so the voice doesn’t do the books any favours. Kind of flat. Like it’s a reading NOT a full performance. It’s read as an observer retelling it rather than an actor becoming the characters if that makes sense.
The books also leave lots of loose ends regarding side characters. And a high number of things get a level of emphasis that implies it’ll matter later. …. But then has no actual purpose.
It felt like what I’d expect to see from a very new author who is still learning to find their style, but not quite there yet. I do think the author has potential, but I also felt that their publishing and editing team could have done a LOT to help polish these stories up. The bones are there. I’d be interested in seeing what the author would do with the stories if released after a dozen or so more titles/few years more experience under their belt.
I think if they’d have had a younger narrator it would have helped too. Most of each book is from the pov of a College age young man (20 ish). The narration is by a guy who sounds like he’s at least in his 40s. Tone, cadence, pitch, etc come across very differently w a gap like that. The voice matched the older characters well. But no so much the younger ones.
