Story
I always felt I wasn’t wired like my peers, but when my brother, Kellan, gave me three terms - ace, aromantic, and demi - I had possible names for it. Those three words have been on my mind ever since, as has my brother’s best friend, Josh Westbrook. It’s been cool getting to know him and spending time together, just us. He makes me feel something I never thought I’d be able to feel. When we end up alone in a cabin with only one bed, all my crossed wires finally connect and point toward being demi and wanting him.

I wasn't supposed to fall for my older brother's best friend. Unfortunately, that ship sailed when I was a teenager, even though Chase Hawthorne always treated me like nothing more than a younger sibling. Things were worse after my parents died. Chase was sweet and supportive, which only strengthened my feelings for him. But then he'd act like I couldn't take care of myself, and that part didn't go over well with me. Yeah, I had a habit of screwing up.

You think you know me. That's the way I want it. Making you feel like we know each other - like we could go grab a beer sometime - is part of my job. Maybe the most vital part. It doesn't hurt that I'm easy on the eyes, single at 35, and born richer than sin. My aesthetic matters much more than it should, but all the better for my worthy cause. And it's a worthy cause. I've made an art out of making you feel good, and my influence makes you want to be good. Good like me. You think you know me, but you don't. Everyone has secrets. Mine could cost me everything.

Ever hear the story about the bodyguard who falls for the rock star? Yeah, it never ends well. Each day I remind myself that it's my job to protect Stone. And nowhere in the job description does it say I should lust after the charismatic, charming man. Especially since we're opposites. But every night I spend with him the dangerous, off-limits attraction grows more intense. Until one night in a limo when we combust. One time only will have to be enough. One scorching, forbidden night. Because the mistakes from the past are chasing me. And if I give in again, I'll lose everything.

A night on the town after a long workweek at my family's distillery should include shots and dancing - not a hot kiss with a handsome stranger. I'm straight. At least, that's what I figured until I find myself locking lips with a sexy city boy. Now, all my circuits are going haywire, and the spark that ignites between us makes me even more curious. Unfortunately, I kissed the one man who's off-limits: Cohen Mitchell - the sole surviving heir to the Mitchell Creek distillery, a rival neighbor my family has feuded with for nearly a 100 years.

Publisher's Summary
Mason Alexander thought all he wanted in life was something to call his own - something without the family name attached. He got that when he bought his bar in Blackcreek...but then a hard truth opens his eyes that he's been lied to his whole life, and he's tangled amid the family that loves him, a truth that haunts him, and torn between the life he wants for himself and the obligation he feels for his family.
Gavin Davis knows a thing or two about living a double life. Being a gay man with strict Christian parents who believe he's going to Hell, has never been easy. Instead of dealing, Gavin lost himself in his career. Teaching music gives him solace. So when he loses his job at a private school for helping out a gay kid, he feels like he lost more than a job. He lost his identity. Blackcreek is a new start for both of them, two men, loyal to a fault, who both feel obligated to people in their lives. What Mason and Gavin don't expect to find in each other is the place where they can be real. They know they want each other, it's the rest of it they can't figure out. Caught between loyalty, obligation, fear, tragedy and family, Mason and Gavin's lives threaten to pull them away from each other if they don't get real, and stop playing pretend, for good.

Another good book in the Blackcreek series. I really enjoyed Gavin & Mason's story. They both had a little baggage and they both dealt with it without too much drama. They had amazing chemistry and I'll admit the top/bottom thing in this book left me a little frazzled. Mason was bossy and dominate and he is the bottom, Gavin is a little timid and submissive and he is the top, this was hard for me to wrap my head around but to be honest I kinda loved that! I was happy to see everyone get their HEA. The narration was great.

Nothing is ever easy.
This is book 3 in the series and all of them narrated by Luke Itzvic who is fabulous. Mason and Gavin meet one day and hit it off. Mason owns the bar, and Gavin had just come back to town for Wes and Braden's wedding and stays. Gavin goes to work for Mason and they start hanging out and realize they both are having some pretty awful family problems and try to talk them out with each other. Before long they realize how much they mean to each other and have fallen in love. They also realize they can't stay together and figure out their personal family issues so they break up but eventually know they can't live without each other and find their way back together.

Oh Mason... "power bottom!" M/M hotness
This book is a bit different than the others... I was a bit lost with Gavin's character. His character wasn't strong enough. His parents believed he would go to hell because he's gay. I got that. Boy, his mother can kill you with so much misguided (demented) love. Interesting character. To think there are real people like that! Breaks my heart. Throughout the book, I wondered how will this be resolved. Can't say I liked how this got resolved... too much fairy-tale ending. Wasn't believable. Sorry. I really liked Mason's character from Book 2. And, he's further shown to be even better. Bringing Mason to life as the "power bottom" was hot as hell. Their M/M scenes are so OMG! Gavin and Mason decide to break up to figure out their life first. Sure this sounds good. But really? Was this necessary? As adults, they could have just stayed together and did the same things. Not needed. .... what about the "power bottom?" This was a dumb idea. Once again, the narration is over the top. Done perfectly. Sometimes too perfect... i.e. Gavin's mom! Luke did her voice so well. I'm so impressed by Luke in this series. Worth listening to. Enjoy!

Amazing narration good story
(Some spoilers – not totally ruiners – but spoilers included)
I’m going to start off by saying that I couldn’t get into this book before (as an e-book). I’d start it and stop over and over but when it came out on audio I knew I wanted to listen to it. I was really glad I did!
I am a huge Riley Hart fan and I’ve enjoyed every book she’s ever written (some more than others – of course) but I don’t think she has a “bad book” in her.
However, this was not my favorite book – especially in this series of great books. One of the things that I found disconcerting about this book was how utterly dependent on the opinion of others both of these men are. Gavin is absolutely wrecked – even as an adult – by the asinine opinions of his family and doesn’t begin to move on with his life until he has that special “moment” with his father that somehow allows him to finally just be who he’s always been. Mason, too, is so friggin’ worried about what his parents think and even his biological mother that he can’t make a path for himself.
While I actually agreed with them when they decided to take a “break” – they really did need to figure some shit out and they were acting ridiculous about it so something had to change – I was totally annoyed that – again – as adults – they couldn’t do this within the confines of their relationship and that it was still their parents and their BS driving a wedge between them. They never came across as needy 17 year-olds EXCEPT in how they dealt with their families and I didn’t ever understand it.
On the other hand, they absolutely dealt with their own relationship (for the most part) in a very adult and mature way. Moving gradually from friends to lovers and keeping the other honest in all things. They did what needed to be done when the chips were done and persevered when things got rough. Until they broke up. Then I was like – really? Really?! You’re STILL letting your parents do this to you? Why can’t you lean on each other and push through?
I loved their relationship, though. It was hot, and comfortable, and challenging, and ooooo the dirty talk! Mason is an awesome “power bottom” and he and Gavin had some wicked hot chemistry together.
Had I read this I think I would have skimmed some of the parental BS to get to the good stuff – their relationship. I ADORED the parts where these guys were just WITH one another. And the smexy times. GAH! So good! When Mason tells Gaving “Now’s the time you’re gonna want to kiss me” I practically swooned! Their time connecting physically absolutely made up a lot of ground for me. That worked and worked really well.
It was also great seeing the other guys again. I especially like Wes and Braden’s happy moment!
I think that I enjoyed this more as an audiobook than I would have as an e-book because I really loved listening to Luke Itzvik’s narration. He really added to the scene and made it seem more real and less OTT dramatic.
All in all it wasn’t a bad book and if I didn’t have the other AMAZING books in this series to compare it to I think I’d have really liked it more (?). But, compared to Collide which just totally did it for me, I have to say this wasn’t nearly as good. It was enjoyable and definitely had it’s high points, but I kept wondering how these MEN could keep acting like helpless children at times.
3.5 of 5 stars for the book, 5 of 5 for the narration and overall 4.25 for the audiobook

Mason and Gavin
So I didn't like this one as much. I did really love Gavin and the things he was going through. It really broke my heart seeing his relationship with his parents and it made him feel. The things that were said to him and his mother wanted him to pretend to be something he wasn't made me sick. Mason made him feel so accepted and just wanted him to be happy. It felt like there were a lot of moving parts in this one, but we still got to see this relationship blossom. I just want Luke Itzvic to narrate all the M/M romance. He's steadily becoming a fave.

Just Another Disappointment
Big shocker. Another book that's 90% the same sex scene recycled over and over from the first three books because Riley Hart thinks that's all gay men want/are capable of. Every second of the book they are wanting sex, about to have sex, or having sex. If you want to read a smut magazine and get off, this book is perfect. If you want to read a real book with interesting characters, a good story, thought, depth, .... hell anything other than sex scenes, definitely don't read this book. The 10% that isn't sex is decent, but... that's like 3 chapters... maybe.

Wanted to like it...
I wanted to stop listening to it, but made the decision to get to the end. The thing that was the most challenging for me was the level of repetition... felt that the same points were made repeatedly. The “over religious” mom was too much. I get it, many people continue to struggle with family who cannot reconcile their faith and anything outside of heterosexuality - the point was more than made. I would guess than anybody reading a LQBTQIA+ romance novel gets it so why prolong it? Getting insights on how the protagonist is dealing with it would more likely serve the reader.

The story was romantic, steamy, and real. I will never forget this book. It’s a story of overcoming, challenging yourself, and loving someone. In the end four simple words “I love you music man” was the essence of the perfect beginning. A book worth reading.
