Good book! Decent plot and a lot of fun characters. Not mind blowing, but pleasant enough. Major Sub/Dom themes including puppy play. I had a vague idea what that was but this book totally schooled me. I still don't know what a 'fucking machine' is but there probably should be some things I remain innocent to. If I had a complaint it would be that I didn't get a feel for the head space of dom, sub, or puppy. I was kind of expecting Jason or Tony to enter the playroom and switch persona but they never did. Killed the fantasy for me a little.
I read this as a standalone mostly because I was gifted an audio copy.

I was hooked on this series as soon as I read the title of the first book, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Tony and Jason have been hinted at since book one. I was intrigued because Tony seemed closed off from almost everyone; I wanted to know his story. There were a few times when I thought this story would fall into the common trap of a conflict that could be resolved with a conversation, but to my delight the conversation always happens. It was a joy Jason and Tony navigate their relationship and their feelings for each other and build lasting trust. I can't recommend this series enough.

This is my favorite of the series mostly because of the anticipation. From the first two books we basically get this outside view into Tony and Jason and it's depicted as this like enemies to lovers. All you know from the previous two books is that Tony and Jason seemingly hate each other. We find out in this book that that's not quite true despite having an enemies to lovers beginning.
Tony is a shorter man and he is fairly thin which leads people to believe he is a submissive when in fact he is a Dom. Jason is am ex pro football player and has the opposite stereotypes surrounding him. He is in fact a sub, albeit a bratty one

This was an incredible read. I loved all the angst and the heat in this opposites attract romance. The chemistry between Tony and Jason was amazing!
Tony is not the most open person in the beginning and quite harsh in his judgment of Jason, who is just the sweetest guy, even if a little bratty. Once he does start to see Jason’s other side, he gets very protective which was awesome. I really liked how they explored the puppy play together, those scenes were the sweetest.
Jason’s insecure and sometimes prone to jumping to (distressing) conclusions, understandably since he’s been betrayed and used in the past, so I really felt for him in those moments. As they grow closer emotionally, he learns to trust Tony, and his intentions towards him.
I really enjoyed how everything unfolded and the fact that these authors showed that dominance/submission is a state of mind and not linked to a person’s stature/build.

I loved this book so much! I'd been excited for Jason and Tonys story since the first book, so loved how this book filled in a lot of details and we get to explore their relationship development. It was different to what I first expected and yet its perfect, so fitting to these two and I adore the puppy moments so much.
Jason became a favourite of mine during the second book and I still adore his friendship with Dylan which get to see here, he is super sweet and so supportive. It was great to learn more about his past and feelings, because I hadn't really considered before the publicity side of things and that was awful. I really felt for him and loved getting to see him open up, learning to trust and be himself with Tony which was adorable.
Tony is awesome and i enjoyed learning more about him, his struggle with relationships made sense and I liked how he took it into his own hands. Didn't allow anyone to push them into it and he was so fitting for Jason, I think he needs a bit of a challenge which Jason provides and helps him have fun.
I really loved these two together, they were so wonderful and while both have their own struggles to get past. It was sweet to see them develop and explore their relationship as they figure out what they want, I adored them so much.
There's plenty of steam and bdsm exploration as usual which is some of my favourite parts to this series. From puppy play, spanking and dom/sub I just enjoyed it a lot. Seeing how it varies between each couple and how they find what works for them, Tiger is a great puppy and I wish there had been more of those scenes. It was great to see Jason finally feeling comfortable and able to show that side of himself with his friends too.
Overall my favourite of the three and has a lovely happy ending, fitting to not just these two but also all of the guys as a wonderful end overall. I adored this series and will be looking at more by these authors.
