This one is a little funny jewel, I needed to stop reading it to go out dinner with a friend and I spent almost all the time trying to retelling all the funny scenes I read.Brian is a walking trouble. Pretty, cute and innocent, he is a small-town guy who finds himself in big-city and feels empty and lonely. Young and without the money to go college he works as clerk in a food store and meanwhile browse the gay club trying to fill the void in his life. No string attach relationships don't help him and so when he meets Paul it's like a dream. A classical Leather Daddy bear, Paul is a control freak: his life, his home, even his relationships are perfect and "straight", exactly what Brian needs. After a while they seems to have found a routine and Brian is happy like a fish in his bowl. But then Paul has to leave town for work and he will be gone for six months. Brian risks to fall again in his unsteady status, when he meets Jim, another bear, but this time more the feed and caring type, and in fact his nickname is Momma Bear. Brian clings to Jim like a baby to his teddy bear, and when he discovers that Jim is also the roommate of Paul, he freaks a little, but then Paul is away and he really needs the comfort he finds in Jim's embrace. But Jim is a free spirit, he arrives and goes as the wind and when he needs to go he goes. He asks Brian to water the plants, and so Brian has at least the chance to be in the house where Paul and Jim made him so happy. After some weeks arrives Scott, the third (and last!) roommate: a ball of energy and more a pal friend than a lover, Scott fills a bit the void left by Paul and Jim. But when Brian awakes in bed with Scott and with Paul and Jim glaring over him, he knows that he needs to take some important decisions...
A funny and a bit porn retelling of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears fable, the roles are pretty clear: Daddy Bear is Paul, the more steady and controlled of all the group, he is the one to whom all of them relate when important steps need to be take; Momma Bear is Jim, big heart and big body, he is the gentle and comforting touch in the group, always ready to listen and always available to dispense big hugs; Little Bear is Scott, full of energy, happy-go-live man, maybe not just fully grown, a bear in training. All of them together fill all the demands of Brian, who need a crowded family to never again suffer from loneliness: fantastic the description of when Brian bounces having eat too much chocolate...
Of course it's a foursome, but of course, like always when the bed is a bit crowded, different bonds will form between the men, some strong and some weaker, some true love and some a friend with benefits type of relationship.
A.M. Riley is very good in giving to all the men a deeply and complete characterization and even if all turns around Brian, no one of the other bears remain without a personality. It would be wonderful if something like that could really happen in real life, since the home these four men build together is an happy haven and a place where love and comfort and joyous sex reign.

The first story in this series, Dragon’s Kiss, was only a novella and so we didn’t have much time to know these characters. Actually when Shenandoah starts, Bear and Dragon are together only for three days, and they have already started the quest of their life. 
Due to the matter and the blurb I was not expecting for this romance by K.A. Mitchell to be also a light comedy, but indeed it was; better it was a romantic comedy, with some funny moments, that is even better.
Harper Fox is a new name in the M/M romance field, but I think she is heading towards a bigger playfield, limiting her stories to the “romance” genre is probably doing her a bad thing. True, and don’t worry romance readers, there is a love story, and more traditional than what the blurb could let you imagine, but there is also a psychological work around the main characters that is deeper than most romance novel.

Truth be told, I was not expecting for the third long book in this series to be about Matt, the part-time assistant of Jake, the PI who is the hero of a previous book. Book 2 ended with a surprise about another young man in this series, and so of course I was expecting his story. But indeed there is another character that was interesting, Keaton’s brother Aubrey, a man who proved to be better than what his own brother gave him credit to. 



The Sweet One is a sweet and short novella as the same title said. It’s the classical story about the Guardian Angel who falls in love with his protégé, and it has that peaceful development such stories should have. I liked the quick insight the author gave us about Micah’s life, how he was always a small and fragile kid, but also how he was able to overcome this and become a kind man. Micah absorbed the peace Noah’s was transmitting him as his guardian, and if Noah went beyond his due in protecting Micah, letting the boy feel he was there for him, all of that was done since, even then, Noah felt his bond with Micah was stronger than ordinary.
