a very fitting end for Marc and Ziggy!
Independent reviewer for BookSirens, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is a novella in the Liverpool Boys series, and you really should read Saving Ziggy before this one. Much will not make sense if you haven't.

Ziggy and Marc are 7 years married, settled into life happily. But *something* is missing, they both cannot pinpoint what, so a break away over Christmas seems perfect. What they find, will change their lives forever.

I found this the most PERFECT end to Ziggy and Marc's story!

It's so full of love! Marc and Ziggy are very much in love. That fact shows on every page, and finding the bundle in the summer house? Makes their lives complete.

I loved that there was very little steam here! Ziggy and Marc make plans for *fully* enjoy their down time, but plans go awry!

It emotional, though, on a deep level. Finding a baby will wreck anyone, but taking that baby on? Takes a huge amount of emotional upheaval but Ziggy and Marc own it, beautifully!

All the other *boys* and their partners are talked about, and some pop up at the end, so that was a lovely catch up with everyone.

This really is, the most fitting end to Ziggy and Marc's story.

5 full, but very sweet stars

You should probably start at the beginning!
Independent reviewer for BookSirens, I was gifted my copy of this book.

So, here's the thing. The blurb grabbed, it really did, even though it's the lsst in series, it says it can be read as a stand alone book. And I have no doubt that for some, it can. But for me? I missed something, I really did.

There were a lot of characters who grabbed me far more than Seb, Ace or River did and I think that's where I missed not reading any previous books.

So, here's what I did like.

All three have a say, and I liked getting into all three heads.

It's a slower burn book,. but once these three get with what Fate has in store for them, it's steamy and smexy. I liked that contrast in the before and after.

I didn't like how Seb and Ace were with River in the beginning, but given what happens later, I fully understand why they did what they did, to keep themselves away from River.

I'm just not sure this was the book for me to start with! And that's entirely my own fault, since it does it's last in series. I will, however, try something else of Primer's work, since this is the first I've read of their work.

But I finished it, and it had a satisfactory ending. I really liked the epilogues!

3 good stars

fun and flirty with some danger thrown in!
Independent reviewer for GRR, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is book 2 in the Mobster Mayhem series, and I have not read book 1. I didn't think I was missing anything, honestly, until Leo and Chai turn up in this book and now I wanna read their story!

While the undertone of this book is dark, people are killed keeping the secrets that Matt and Kieran are discovering, the general tone is light and fluffy and these guys are a lot of fun.

Matt and Kieran find themselves on the run from the CIA and Lord knows who else, cos Matt's aunt and uncle are keeping an asset for the CIA. The CIA! Matt is dumbfounded when he discovers that his auntie and uncle, and indeed, his parents, have been keeping such secrets from him, but when he finds himself wound up in it all, he understands.

I did NOT see the twist with Kieran's parents coming at me, so well played with that one!

And you know what?? I did not realise its first person, present tense AND multi point of view until I was filing it, so SUPER well with that!

From what I can see, this is the first I've read of these authors, so they are firmly in my crosshairs!

4 fun and flirty stars
