Upending Tad Bundle: Volumes 1, 2, 3

Upending Tad: A Journey of Erotic Discovery

De: Kora Knight

Narrado por: Michael Pauley

Volumes one, two, and three of the Upending Tad series.

Loser Takes All

Tad's weekend started out like any other; hitting a college frat party with a handful of buddies. But just as the evening hits its peak, things get up-ended fast. Ditched by his drunken, trolling friends, Tad winds up getting hustled by three jocks playing poker. Now, he's forced to pay his dues in the most outlandish of ways by spending an hour with his victors' favorite flogger, Scott. But the guy's tantalizing torture quickly proves to be the least of Tad's worries and the kickoff to a night of raw, shocking lust. Experience the graphic, minute-by-minute account of that hour spent at the hands of Tad's insatiable tormentor. Addicting chemistry lights the stage as Scott ignites Tad's reluctant desires into a frenzy of forbidden need.

Test of Endurance

The last time Tad saw Scott, the ripped physical trainer left him with quite a lot to think about. At his wit's end, he seeks Scott out, voluntarily, on his own terms. Will the completely different setting offer what he's seeking; proof that their exchange's unexpected turn was just a random mishap? Or will being in Scott's presence suggest something different....

Sideline Submission

Round two with Scott hadn't been what Tad expected, but it did end up providing a few important realizations. That crazy first encounter was definitely more than mere male hormones. Which meant he felt a true attraction to the guy. Something that explained his defenselessness against Scott's smoldering charms. So Tad had resolved to cope with his findings the only logical way he knew how: purge the guy from his system by staying away for good. Unfortunately, that proved way more uncomfortable than he'd anticipated. So when Scott unexpectedly seeks him out, Tad's too drained to fight his turmoil any longer. He agrees to hang out, not knowing Dom boy Max will end up part of the deal.

Warning: Erotic romance. Contains explicit gay sex. Intended for mature audiences.

Kora Knight & Michael Pauley? YES PLEASE!

The audiobook edition of Up-ending Tad, Bundle 1 by Kora Knight includes the first three stories of Up-ending Tad: A Journey of Erotic Discovery #1-3 and is read by Michael Pauley. If you enjoyed reading this series as I did, then you’ve got to give the audio version a try. If you’re prepared to have your mind blown, then by all means dive right in!

Hot, hot, smokin’ hot, and if I haven’t stressed it enough, this story is HOT. This is erotica of the finest quality; add in adorable way these two guys fall for each other, and Up-ending Tad is one of the most enjoyable series out there.

Kora Knight has these two characters down. Both guys are kinda macho, and when they get all nervous, “gosh, does he really like me?” my heart just melts. Scott’s seduction and Tad’s acquiesce work perfectly together, and I was rooting for them from the get-go.

One of my all time favorite narrators, I never doubted that Michael Pauley was going to rock this one. There’s a reason I call him a virtuoso of erotica, he adds more to a love scene than anyone else I know. Pauley has a keen ability to really understand the characters and where a story is going. He doesn’t over-act, just keeps it sexy and builds the tension sloooowly till it reaches the inevitable pinnacle we’re all waiting for.

There’s so much to love about the audiobook version of Up-ending Tad. This is pure down and dirty erotica, with the sweetest gay-for-you romance blended in. Whether you’re a fan of the books like I am, or discovering this series for the first time, the combination of Kora Knight’s beautiful writing and Michael Pauley’s gorgeous voice is going to give you hours of pleasure.

awesome

I liked that when Tad lost at cards he actually won, but he didn't realize it right away. The first book was an erotic venture intro into BDSM for Tad and I thoroughly loved it. I liked seeing the bond starting between Scott an Tad. In book two I loved hearing Tad trying to convince himself he's straight, but he's still drawn to Scott. Book three Tad's inner struggle continues. I totally enjoyed the voyeur room experience. My caliente! I love that Tad is starting to come to terms with his sexuality. I can't wait to continue this series and watch the relationship develop. I voluntarily listened to an audible of this bundle and am giving my honest opinion. Totally loved it.

Amazing

I'm pretty new to audio books, but I know this one will be a tough act to follow: Kora Knight did a fantastic job with Tad's character and his discovery of love and sexuality and Michael Pauley's interpretation of it adds facets to the characters and their interactions that are simply spot on. And his voice for Scott is really so, so sexy..
Definitely recommended!

Upending Tad Volumes 1,2,3

These books are the beginning of Tad and Scott’s adventure. A simple bet turns Tad’s world upside down. He agrees to take his punishment and with that he meets Scott. Soon Tad finds his emotions in a whirlwind. He does not know what to do. Scott is there to help him along the way and it seems that the attraction goes both ways, but can Tad find a way to understand his new feelings and is he strong enough to act on them?

I enjoyed these first three books in this series. Tad and Scott are both strong characters. Each one is endearing in their own way. The two men have a connection and are hot together. It was nice to see Tad begin his journey and learn about himself. Scott is a good man who is willing to wait and fight for Tad. As Tad’s self confidence grows it was nice to see the trust between the two men grow. Their relationship is building, and I am eager to see how strong it will be in the end. Narrator Michael Pauley does a good job of giving Scott and Tad life and quickly had me immersed into their story.

Still Very Good!

A bit of drama but a whole bunch of sexy, which is what I I was looking for. I would probably listen to the entire thing again, even if the narrator didn't grow on me like I thought he would. Still fantastic voicing characters though.

Seriously erotic!

I received this audiobook at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

Omgoodness! Sometimes I'm just in the mood for some seriously hot erotica. These books never disappoint. I read them all individually as they came out, and I actually own a signed copy of the whole bundle of all the books.

Book one: Looser Takes All
Almost two hours of one extremely hot sex scene. With a bit of BDSM overtones, purely hot and raunchy sex. Tad still hasn't looked closely at his life, so the conflicting emotions are a bit overwhelming.

Book two: Test of Endurance
More to the story in this one, until Tad decides to put his conflicting emotions to the test. Both he and Scott are surprised by their lack of control after an innocent interaction. Things once again turn scorching, but without the BDSM aspect... well, unless you consider edging a part of that world.

Book three: Sideline Submission
A month has passed, and Tad has been fighting with himself over what he has been learning about himself, both from his life before, and his current predicament with Scott. Again, they arrange an innocent meeting. Tad is filled with sexual tension, but makes it through, even hoping for more. Enter Max; Scott's best friend and roommate, the true Dom of the household. He interrupts their plans by asking them to play the roles of voyer for one of his scenes. Throughout the scene, the sexual tension between Tad and Scott escalates to a fevered pitch. One thing leads to another, and again, we get a seriously hot sex scene; only this time there are emotions involved. Unfortunately, we get some serious foreshadowing about Max, not only at the end, but also when they first arrive at the house.

I wanted to own this bundle, because it has been a while since I have read the books, and I knew Michael Pauley would do an amazing job in his performance. I could have listened to this through the Romance Package, which I had not realized until I had already requested to review the audiobook. But I am so glad that I did. Mainly because I will now own both volumes.

Happy Listening!

4 Stars

The author calling this series, “A journey of erotic discovery,” is exactly the description of what’s in store when you follow Scott and Tad. Scott is a personal trainer but also calls himself a part time Dom. When Tad loses a card game, he finds himself with almost no choice but to submit to the allotted time with Scott in control. Scott becomes everything Tad never knew he wanted or needed. He never considered himself attracted to men and the feelings Scott brings out in him turn his world upside down. This volume mostly moves from one intimate moment to the next and the scenes continue on and on and never do get old. Knight clearly writes heated erotic scenes that capture the journey Tad is on and it’s a skill to be able to sustain that. We don’t learn too much about either guy and the book is not designed for that at this point. But ever so slowly, Tad starts to come around to admitting his feelings, but his journey is far from over.

You have to be able to go along with the set-up of this book and how Scott and Tad meet. Tad also has never been in a submissive position before and for Scott calling himself a Dom, there is a lack of consent issue and there are never any limits discussed and the book should be approached as an erotic fantasy. Scott and Tad ultimately could make a great couple and for insane chemistry with a hint of romance, this is a good bet.

Michael Pauley is a favorite narrator and I will often select an audio based on his narration. His voice is clear and pleasant and for this audio, he sustained one intimate scene after the next. The voices of Scott and Tad weren’t as distinct as I would have liked, and they often sounded the same which runs counter to everything else I have listened to from Pauley. He is still a good choice as he brings the erotic world of Scott and Tad to life.

Damn!

Super spicy listen! While it's fairly low on plot (which shouldn't come as a surprise), it's a very engaging listen. I'm not sure I would have stuck with it in print, given some of the repetitive language and so-so writing, but Michael Pauley lends it a suspense and a heat which keeps you listening far longer than you might have intended. At first his heavy/frequent breathing was a bit distracting, but by the third book I either grew used to it, or it wasn't quite as extreme. Overall, this is definitely a great listen when you want something super hot that draws out the action far longer than the normal erotic/romance tale. It ends on a promising note, and I was really happy to see there's more (which I immediately bought)!

This Story is Fire Fire Fire

This story is all heat,love ,passion and desire.I can't stop listening,it's so captivating.Amazing storytelling

Hot, beautiful, love story!

I fell in love with the characters pretty quickly. Especially, Scott. How hard it must be to give your heart to someone that you care for so deeply, all the while wondering if that person is going to be brave enough to admit and act on their feelings for you. Tad really does love him, he is just scared to admit it and be forthright about his sexuality. They are beautiful together. The sexy scenes are so very hot. 🔥 Michael Pauley does an amazing job with narration! I highly recommend this series.
