"I told him to leave. He told me I was his....

The Intern
Jaxson Bell has one goal: advancing his career by any means possible. Sleeping with men to further his aspirations isn’t uncommon for Jaxson, and his next target is obvious - the deputy mayor. Flirting with Vane is easy because he’s handsome, charming, confident, and knows exactly what Jaxson wants. It’s effortless to make a deal with Vane, who’s more than happy to exchange sex for a job at city hall. What Jaxson doesn’t expect is the very unusual kink Vane obsesses over. The oddness should be a deal breaker, but it only has Jaxson more interested.

The Deputy Mayor
Vane Elwood knows exactly what Jaxson wants the moment he approaches him because, at heart, he’s the same kind of ruthless man. He loves sex, and if he can get it free for the simple exchange of a job, he will. Vane anticipates a hasty exit from Jaxson as soon as he discovers Vane’s secret kink. To his surprise, Jaxson not only sticks around but seems to be excited.

The Right Kind of Dirty
Their relationship is meant to be purely physical, but as feelings grow, Vane and Jaxson will have to decide what to do. Vane has a reputation to uphold, and Jaxson has never had a relationship. If news gets out that the deputy mayor is sleeping with his new assistant, their careers could implode. They’ll need to use every trick in the book to keep each other.

Eye Opener of a Delight!

I was expecting the normal sleeping his way to the top and ending up falling in love MM rom-com but boy was I in for a surprise with Staking his Claim. I really should have known better because nothing is ever as it seems with a Ki Brightly book and this one written along with M.D. Gregory is no different. It is brilliant! The kink is off the charts! I’ll not go into details as that would be playing spoiler. Suffice to say that this one is blistering hot, lusciously naughty, and laugh out loud funny with fabulous character development and great narration. I absolutely loved it!

very good

I don't actually like politics or political stories but the rest of the book was so good. I highly recommend this book.
The author did a good job.

Not bad

This book was hard to rate because the kink featured in here wasn’t mine. My biggest complaint is the narrator. I’ve listened to him before and liked him but here he pronounced the Ss so much he sounded like a snake.

sleeping to the top

Quick, hot, and dirty. I loved these two and their chemistry was off the charts hot. Two ambitious men doing what they do, then the feelings happen. I enjoyed the power dynamics, and they were an imperfectly perfect fit for each other. Lots going on in the storyline besides smexy kink times. A complex multilayered story that drew me in and I happily got lost in. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did an amazing job bringing the characters and story to life.

Unique Love Story

Another winner from this duo! I adored Jaxson and Vane and the way their relationship developed. I had never read anything with this kink in it before, but it was strangely hot. I will be looking for more stories with this kink. Would definitely recommend!

Staking His Claim

So, I Loved Loved Loved the book when I read it. It was totally a secret kink I didn’t know I needed.

So hot.

The other books in the series are so worth the loss of sleep.

Highly recommend.

This narration though... 😬
I had to speed it up to 1.5 to 2 and even then... The basilisk pronunciation and way he dragged out some of the words, I couldn’t finish it. I may eventually try and give it another go.

If you like the narration definitely try this one. I sincerely, highly recommend the book and the rest of the series in book form. I love everything I’ve read by both authors.

I received an audiobook from the author and this is my honest review.

An Interesting Kink

All I can say really is that I'm super glad I read this story before listening to the audible. Really loved the story...interesting kink and love Jax and Vane. The narrator not so much...he put too much emphasis on being growly and not natural. So when I first heard his voice I was so disappointed because I loved the story. I made myself finish just because of the story.

loved it

I loved this book. Barney Parkwynne really brings this story to life and makes you love the characters even more. Jaxson Bell will do anything to get to climb the ranks of city hall. He has his sights set on Vane Elwood ( deputy mayor). What turned out as sleeping his way up turn into love. Will Vane's kink and a scandal keep them from happiness?

Not the greatest Narrator

It was a struggle listening to this book. Please don't get me wrong, the story was good and I've listened to other books by this author that I absolutely loved. Unfortunately, the narrator wasn't the greatest. The way he drew out his S's and T's, and certain words, made him sound like a snake. And he was quite slow in reading. I think I would have enjoyed the book, and given it a higher rating, if I would have read it myself, or if a different narrator was reading.

Hawt!

If you like m/m stories with plenty of kink, grab this one. It is really hot!
Barney Parkwynne did a super job narrating it! He has that deep voice that will take you right into the characters.
