JUST A TASTE

by Briar Prescott

Release Date: April 9, 2024

Review

I love Briar’s dialogue and banter. It brings lightness and fun to a story. Especially between these two distant step-brothers, who are definitely opposites in pretty much every way. 


Lake is a grump (with a well-earned) chip on his shoulder, who does his best to keep people at arm's length. Whereas Ryker is optimistic and happy, but also patient and gentle. It’s a good balance, but one that also highlights their very different upbringings.


It’s a cute story of Ryker finding a way into Lake’s life and wanting to do right by him.  And what they get in the end is so much more. 


Truthfully I’m always a sucker for the closed-off guys finding happiness and love. The fear and hurt are such a heavy weight to carry.

Synopsis

Lake

So... I’m getting married.

Just three minor details: my husband-to-be is technically also my step-brother, he’s straight, and we’re absolutely nowhere in the vicinity of being in love.

Ryker

Only then comes the you-may-kiss-your-husband part. Turns out kissing your husband is a terrible idea because it makes you have strange thoughts you’ve never had before.

Turns out kissing my husband makes me question everything I know about myself.

Lake

It's fine. It doesn't have to mean anything. Just a blip on the radar. I'll leave it be.

But then I find out I’m not the only one who’s having ideas because of that kiss.

And we do something incredibly stupid and give in to temptation.

Ryker

Again.

And again.

And again.

Lake

Until something casual and temporary turns into something very different.

Something unexpected.

Something serious.

Something terrifyingly real.

Ryker

Now I'm determined to show Lake how good the two of us could be together.

Because with him? Just a taste will never be enough.

About Briar Prescott

Briar Prescott is a work in progress. She swears too much, doesn’t eat enough leafy greens and binge watches too much television. It’s okay, though. One of these days she'll get a hang of that adulting thing.
Probably.
Maybe.
She hopes.

Until then, she writes mm romance that'll make readers smile.

REVIEW: Breakthrough by Ana Ashley (Dads of Stillwater #2)

BREAKTHROUGH Dads of Stillwater - Book Two by Ana Ashley Release Date: October 11, 2022 Review Glad to be back in Stillwater, where the number of gay/bi single dads is high (must be something in the water)! Ana always writes lovely and thoughtful stories of beautiful men with depth. Milo and Ellis are no different. Milo is young and sweet but also strong and resilient. He’s been dealt many blows in life but never gives up. Especially when’s got an infant to care for. Ellis is an older kindergarten teacher. Steady, caring, and always ready to help out. He’s been hurt though, so he’s shy about the idea of dating, especially a much younger man. I loved both of them. They were both kind-hearted and wore their hearts on their sleeves, even if they didn’t think they did. I also loved that despite their ages and the imbalance in their financial situations, they also felt like equals. They both had something to bring to the table. The story has enough twists, turns, and emotions to feel comple...

REVIEW: 7 Minutes in Kevin by DJ Jamison (Games We Play #3)

  7 MINUTES IN KEVIN Games We Play - Book Three by DJ Jamison Release Date: November 10, 2022 Review I’ve really enjoyed this series of young friends finding love at the hands of party games. This third book has been teased in previous stories. That of Kevin and his immense crush on his friend's dad. With a significant age gap, Kevin’s insecurity over his gender fluidity, and Garrett’s job that has him on the road 3 weeks out of 4 every month, these two have a few hurdles to navigate if they want to get their happy ending. Though Garrett accepts his bi-sexuality with relative ease, there is still the need to come out and face how others will feel about it. I didn’t connect as well with these two as I have the others, but they still make for an enjoyable story that I have no doubt folks will love.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis 7 minutes in...holy heck, what have I done?! What happens when I return early from a work trip to find my son throwing yet another party?...

  PLAYING DIRTY Miami Piranhas - Book 0.5 by Beth Bolden Release Date: January 12, 2023 Audio Release Date: April 26, 2023  Review Oh my, these two are the definition of cute. Not animosity or rivalry. Just nice guys who want to see someone else do well. In the process of them lifting each other up and supporting one another, they find not just a friendship but a strong love. If you’re looking for something low-angst with two really adorable guys being young men, living their dreams, and finding love, then you can’t go wrong with Playing Dirty. It was also a fantastic audiobook. Narrated by Darcy Stark, he made it highly enjoyable, capturing them both so well. It really made my work day pass a lot faster.

He absolutely does not want Tristan Nicholson. His complete and total opposite. His teammate. His compe...
