My Review

Avery gave up on her sister’s dream for her, and decided to go after her own.  Ice has the nickname for more than one reason.  A crappy childhood with a bad relationship with his brothers have taught him to stand alone.  When something tragic happens, his life is almost unbearable.  If it wasn’t for hockey, he wouldn’t know what he would do with is life.  When he is cut from another team for being cold and not a team player, he is picked up by Seattle.  Great, right in his brother’s back yard.  Who knew running after his dog at his new home would have him running into the most beautiful and the most dangerous woman he would ever meet.

Avery knew he was trouble from the minute she laid eyes on hin.  But he is so hot and sexy, she migh not mind a little trouble in her life.  One time together would never be enough.

Issac’s nickname is perfect for the way his heart is, how people see his attitude on and off the Ice.   I am glad that Avery can melt the ice around his heart.  His name might be ice, but he melts Avery’s heart and mine.

Synopsis

USA Today Bestselling author Jami Davenport presents another Seattle Sockeyes hockey romance and the fifth book in her Game On in Seattle sports romance series showcasing alpha male heroes of football, baseball, and hockey.

Brimming with attitude and broken beyond repair, Isaac “Ice” Wolfe has a heart as cold as his nickname, and he likes it that way–until he meets his neighbor Avery Maxwell. Avery is unlike any woman he’s ever known. Her smile thaws his frozen heart. Being with her heals his broken places. She makes him feel, and for Isaac that’s not always a good thing. Isaac has burned every bridge in his professional hockey career. When he’s traded to the Seattle Sockeyes halfway through their inaugural season, he knows he won’t get another chance. He’s never been a team player, yet he needs to become one–and fast.

Avery has only wanted one thing in her life–to train and show horses. Her decision to drop out of college to pursue her riding career causes a rift with her big sister, but Avery is tired of following everyone else’s dreams. Now she’s following her own, and no one is going to distract her from her passion–until she meets a dark stranger and his cantankerous dog.

When Isaac is warned away from Avery by the team’s captain, who happens to be Avery’s future brother-in-law, Isaac sees the writing on the wall. It’s Avery or his career. To Isaac, a life without hockey wouldn’t be a life worth living. But what about a life without Avery?

Do Isaac and Avery sacrifice their life’s passions for their mutual passion for each other, or do they fight to have it all, even if by doing so, they might lose everything in the end?

My Review

One stupid mistake cost Chris everything. His home, friends, family, and himself. Years later, he finds himself on the couch of the only friend he has left. He realizes that he needs to do something to get his own place, but his past keeps him from getting a job.

One day in a bar he finds an ad for All Cocks a gay porn company that is looking for models. Models similar to those featured on websites such as 18twink.xxx and other homosexual porn sites. Knowing he has no other choice, he goes for it. Surrounded by a new family, he finds how to forgive himself, closure, and someone to love.

As long as you keep your options open, you never know what or who may come along and change your life forever.

Synopsis

Christopher Allan Roberts thought he had a promising future; Captain of the football team with the promise of a scholarship to play for Alabama. His high school sweetheart and best friend for as long as he could remember, Amanda, by his side, and the love and support of his family. One night, one mistake changed everything. Chris moves to New York, adrift and alone. A walk one night brings him to the flashing lights, loud music and thrumming bodies at club Berlin. A flyer in the men’s room promises fame and fortune for anyone willing to go on camera and have sex, with another man. Money is money, and how hard could it be, right? He’s had sex with men before, sometimes even using rope and tape. The only difference this time out be a camera.

Christopher Allan Roberts becomes Kris Alen, All Cocks newest addition, a gay for pay porn star.

Lincoln Carter is honest with everyone in his life, including his family, about who he is and about his sexual preferences. Linc Larson, the openly bi-sexual gay porn star will do anything with anyone, which pretty much writes his ticket in a versatility charged industry. It’s not his sexuality that interferes with his personal life; it’s his inability to trust.

What Linc wants right now, more than anything, is the chance to do a scene with All Cocks newest acquisition, Kris Alen. Six foot two with Auburn hair, an exquisitely toned and inked up body, Kris Alen is sex personified. Linc doesn’t know if it’s the “I want the shiny new toy” aspect that calls to him, or the distant and wounded expression that haunts Kris’s eyes.

Linc figures out early on that Kris is only working the gay for pay angle that All Cocks brings to his bank account. Can a bi-sexual man with trust issues break down the barriers that Kris has built around himself and help Christopher overcome the painful past he is running from.

Gay for Pay is a gay for you story about two men that will have to come to terms with the mistakes they made in their past, if they want to stick around and have a chance at a future.

Exclusive Excerpt for SiK Reviews

With Colton gone and Michael and Max in their bedroom for the night, Chris and Jordan were left alone to explore the online world of sex toys. Since deciding to take the job, Chris had watched a ton of gay porn videos online and talked with Jordan to learn the basics of the deed, even though where it went and how it worked was somewhat self-explanatory. So he knew all about foxy lady butt plugs, dildos and vibrators. He also knew he would never be a bottom, so he wouldn’t need any of those items.

Jordan quickly went to a site where Chris could order a virtual plethora of flesh-jacks in every size, shape and color imaginable. There was a buy two get one free sale plus an added bonus lube kit that included lube and cleanser for his new toys. “One stop shopping,” Chris muttered as he handed over his debit card.

“Look at it this way; it will be a tax deduction next year. Along with any other items you purchase for your business like clothes, toys, if you take someone out to lunch to discuss business, things like that,” Jordan told him.

“Speaking of business…” Chris let the statement hang in the air, certain Jordan would understand where he was headed.

Jordan placed the order then turned to face Chris, handing him his card back, he leaned back in the chair, waiting.

Chris cleared his throat, and then downed the last of his beer before speaking again. “I’ve been watching some videos, and while they are very educational.” Jordan raised one eyebrow and the corners of his mouth upturned slightly. “I only know what it feels like, and what it looks like when giving head. Could you maybe, give me some tips? I mean is there a certain way to do it?”

Jordan stifled the laugh that was dangerously close to falling off his lips. Chris glared at him. “Never mind,” he huffed.

He was about to get up and stomp off to his bedroom, slamming the door, just so Jordan would know he had hurt his feelings. But then Chris remembered, one, he didn’t have a bedroom and two, he wasn’t a fucking chick!

“I’m sorry, shit, it’s just too funny. You should see your face!” no longer able to hold it in, Jordan was full on laughing at him now. Chris returned the one raised eyebrow, but the corners of his mouth turned down into a frown. Well, more like a glower. This, of course, only made Jordan laugh louder.

Eventually, Jordan was able to stop laughing long enough to give Chris some pointers on giving an amazing blow job. The look on Chris’s face when Jordan started describing the art of rimming was priceless, and sent Jordan into another round of hysterical laughter. “I’m going to stick my tongue where?!” Chris shrieked, and Jordan almost fell out of his chair.

My Review

After a traumatic event, Harper learned how to erect and maintain a wall around her.  She refuses to let anyone hurt her again.

Easton never  allowed himself to think  of Harper as anything more than his best friend’s very beautiful sister.  One day she comes to her brother, Jett’s, place of business to let Jett and him have it to stay out of her personal life.  That is the moment he realized how hot she really is.

From that moment on, they could hardly stay away from each other.  Harper confides in Easton.  Easton’s past comes to haunt him.  I love how strong Harper is.  Easton is a very noble and loving guy.
