May 12, 2020
Elias is plodding along, not particularly happy, as such, but getting by. He has a good job, and will be making VP shortly. Then he meets Ty and all bets are off. Ty brings something out in Elias, and Elias in Ty, and they just have to get past their *initial* thoughts about each others jobs.
SO!
I am ALL about my books feelings and this book right, hits a whole damn lot of them! I have not had such a cute story, that left me with so much warm and fuzzies in a long damn time! And I really REALLY enjoyed it!
Both Elias and Ty have a say, in the third person. So we get all the things Elias was thinking about when he meets Ty and Ty tells him off for putting his rubbish in the wrong bin. We get all of Ty's emotions when he realises how much more than friends he wants to be with Elias. We get it all.
It's not especially explicit, but damn, it's hot! There is chemistry, right from the start, between these two and it burns bright and hot the whole way through.
It's a bit emotional in places, when Elias is talking about his family and his past, and I was tearful at that point. Ty's family is great at taking Elias in as one of there own though.
There is no violence, no nutty ex, no major break up. And THAT, my book friends, is what I LOVED most about this book. The fact that; yes they fall out; but it's such a minor, silly thing, and it's resolved pretty quickly, but it's not relationship-break-up material, you know? It's a falling out over the choice of words one of them used, and everyone is happy after they talked it out.
They get their Happy Ever After in a very, almost fairy-tale like way, and I really REALLY enjoyed it!
4 wonderful stars (Can't quite stretch to 5 and most of the webistes don't do halves!)

May 19, 2026
Ernest owns a flower farm that is doing pretty well for itself. The one fly in the ointment is Pierre, a slimy dude if ever there was one. Pierre was only with Ernest for the money, and when that didn't happen in the way he wanted, he was out of there, but only after hurtful words were said, and stealing Ernest's car.
Toby wants to find his mate. He knows how happy Morty and Hector are, and now Lionel and Brad, too. Although he's a bird, he wants to go in a hot air balloon. Pierre is the owner and pilot of the hot air balloon and ignores both the police notice and the advice given by other passengers to land in one of Ernest's fields, throwing Toby out of the basket.
What follows is a great story about fated mates, karma, and a rampaging elephant. Can I just say how much I loved that scene!!! Ernest and Toby are so good for each other, and Toby's friends and family are certainly not backwards in coming forward and accepting Ernest into the fold. It did make me laugh when Ernest hid in the shed, though. I've wanted to do the same myself when family reunions get a bit much!
One thing that I hope happens soon is that Pierre gets what's coming to him. I've never known anyone who deserves it more!
Sven and Remy have their say at the beginning and end once more. I'm really hoping we get their story soon. But then Niall also needs his story. And Rick. Oh, you know what I mean! This is just a wonderful series that is lighthearted and oh so endearing. Definitely recommended by me.
