The Brewing Passion Series #1

Releasing Feb 14th, 2017
Totally Bound
For Austin, it's a life-altering moment that sets him on a path away from his birthright, while Evelyn must face her fears about committing to a man considered the playboy of the micro-brewing world.
The power of preconceived notions nearly tears them apart—until they meet up with brew master Ross, who opens their eyes to a deeper, even more erotic connection.
But three strong personalities don’t always make for the best emotional mix and when a simple misunderstanding causes chaos, it’s up to Ross to somehow repair the tattered shreds of their relationship.
“Austin?” Her voice
behind him made him stand and stretch, his cock already tingling in
anticipation. “Where did you go? Jesus, what time is it? Get your ass back
here.”
He grinned. “Think
you can just boss me like that, woman?” He leaned on the door frame, drinking
her in with his eyes. “Because you can’t.”
“I’m not bossing,
dear. Just suggesting.” She let the sheet fall aside, revealing her completely
naked body. His smile widened when she bent one knee and reached down to touch
herself. “You know, only suggesting that you get your sweet self over here and
help a girl out.”
He grinned, yanked
off his shirt and shorts, and dove into the warm nest of sheets and Evelyn. The
frustration at her most recent rejection was already forgotten in the amazing
smell of her skin and the lovely sound of her moans as he did what she
suggested, for an hour or two.
Later, when they lay
tangled in damp sheets, catching their breath, their fingers clasped together
between them, Evelyn sighed. “So, tell me something,” she said. Austin forced
himself up to full consciousness as best he could.
“Hmm,” he said,
turning to face her, taking in the flushed, well-fucked look on her face with
more than a little self-satisfaction.
“How is it…I mean,
with two, um, guys and a girl?”
Austin hesitated,
then put her knuckles to his lips, buying himself some time.
She pulled her
fingers free of his, sat up and wrapped the sheet around herself. One thing
about his Evelyn, he mused, watching her. He would never accuse her of being
indirect. About anything.
“Don’t baby me,
Austin. I mean it. I want to know.”
“I have no doubt
that you want to know, my love.” He propped himself on one elbow and ordered
his thoughts.
“Don’t think about
it, damn you. Just…tell me.” She swept her hair up off her neck, making his
mouth water at the sight of her flushed skin. Making him want to grab her, hold
her down, lick the sweat droplets and lose himself in her all over again. “Yo,
earth to lover boy,” she demanded, snapping her fingers in front of his face.
“Spill it. What’s it like? I mean do you… Would you… Oh hell, never mind.” She
turned and started to climb out of bed before he reached out and grabbed her
arm.
“Hang on a second. I
don’t mind telling you. I guess I didn’t expect you to want to know.
Most…women…aren’t that into it.”
She let him pull her
back into the warm bed and curled into him so he was pressed up against her
back, his lips on her bare, delicious shoulder. “Stop it,” she whispered. “Tell
me what it’s like to have sex with a woman with another guy in on the act.”
He sighed and held
onto her. “It’s…pretty amazing,” he admitted. “I mean, I can’t speak for the
women I’ve… We’ve…well, you know what I mean.”
The story started out great, but became a bit repetitive with Evelyn's insecurities about being from a different social class. I enjoyed Austin and Evelyn as a couple and Ross a fun addition to their relationship. There are some very hot scenes, whether is just a pair or all three of them, but I found them lacking in the love department. Austin's feeling were as plain as day, but Evelyn and Ross held back too much. I also would have liked to see Austin and Ross have a deeper connection. Overall it was a steamy read, the but the ending left me wondering what was to come. Not sure if the next book will continue their story, or if it will involve a different couple. If it is about a different couple, I hope to more of this trio and how their relationship ends up.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
