Publisher's summary

Sawyer Jonathan Aston has an extremely suckable...ahem. We’re talking eight inches of girthy perfection. Two-thirds of a foot of succulent man-meat. A true cornucopia of carnal delights.

And tonight, that ahem is going to make my mouth feel like a Tokyo subway car at rush hour. We’re talking crowded. Crammed. Absolutely stuffed. And if I’m lucky, a few stops later we’ll both get off at the same time and head home together to see what kind of trouble we can get up to when bed is our final destination.

But you know what they say about the best-laid plans....

It's a good thing I'm resourceful, because come what may, I'm not going to stop until I make Sawyer mine.

Side Character is a stand-alone short story set in the Masters of Romance universe. While there are no authors in this one, there is a sassy best friend who messes things up spectacularly, but still manages to land the man of his dreams. Get ready for love, laughter, and some serious steam. No cheating and no love triangles, guaranteed.

Short and sweet

Sooo adorable. I loved this. The only thing I wish was that it was longer!!! I mean I just love the idea of a long crush from childhood coming to head and that you get all of this story from Gavins POV. It’s so adorable how awkward and shy they are but how much they just click. Makes me so happy. I’d love to hear more about them in the future.

Passing time

This is a very short story of what happens when two people crushing on each other from afar finally talk face to face. It is also a set up for Bad Boy. Fun little peak at young men and what they have going on.

Short but steamy and sweet

What if your crush for almost a decade turns out to be crushing on you as well?

This is a sweet short story between Sawyer and Gavin. Both crushing on each other unbeknownst to either party.

It’s really sweet, also inject with a lot of Emma Alcott’s signature sense of humor. I love the most supportive dude bros.

I hope there will be more this couple. 💕

A quick little LOL

I laughed while reading this lovella but Michael's narration really brings it to life. I actually read this story prior to the first book so I kinda knew how the sheriff got called on the poor best friend who gets lost in the snowstorm. A truly brilliant beginning for a whole new series by Emma Alcott!!!!

Cute!

This was a cute intro to the Masters of Romance series! Gavin and Sawyer are adorable! They each had a crush on the other but didn’t know it. Gavin is hilarious and sassy. Sawyer is sweet and attentive. Sawyer’s friends add another element of humor. If you want a lighthearted fast read, this is a good pick. Narration was good. I was given a copy from Gay Romance Reviews and this is my honest opinion.

Excellent Prequel

I actually listened to the first book in this series, Bad Boy, before I listened to this one. It didn't ruin the story at all! I really enjoyed this short story. I loved the way Sawyer's friends were trying to help with get together with Gavin. It was hilarious. As always, Michael Ferraiuolo's narration was awesome.

Sweet opposites attract romance

This was a sweet opposites attract romance.

The storyline was engaging and compelling and the characters were likeable and well fleshed out.

The narration was enjoyable and appealed to me

Delicious treat!

Michael Ferraiulo is one of my favorite narrators for a good reason. He never fails to knock it out of the park!
Side Character is the perfect afternoon snack. Short, sweet and extra steamy!
Gavin and Sawyer have been secretly crushing on each other. What better time than a New Years party to make something happen!
This story is a nice set up for the Masters of Romance series and I can't wait for more!
