His Convenient Husband by Robin Covington

5.0

His Convenient Husband is the first book I've read by Robin Covington and it won't be my last! I love m/m romance and I have been seeing her name and books for years and when I saw this I knew I needed to make time for it. Needless to say, I was not disappointed! Her writing is fantastic, her characters well developed. Isaiah is a famous football player who lost his husband three years ago. He's raising his son and likes staying quietly on the sidelines in his personal life. The minute he sees loud and proud Victor, he's consumed with want. Victor is everything that Isaiah isn't. The attraction is palpable and before he knows it, Victor has an invitation to Isaiah's house. One night of off the charts passion leads to Isaiah offering to save Victor from prosecution in Russia. They agree their marriage will be just friends. They get all the safety and none of the perks. But the growing attraction is too much and they give in. Isaiah is scared to lose his heart again. Victor wants a love and family more than anything, but he's afraid to admit his feelings. When words cause one of them to run, can they find their way back to each other. Is the risk worth the reward? I loved this story! Isaiah is big, quiet, sexy and funny. Victor is beautiful, sexy and proud to be who he is. He wears makeup and speaks his mind about the LGBTQ issues in the community. Isaiah's son is gender fluid and he loves having Victor around. They just get each other. I loved that each man has a best friend to confide in and tell them when they are being stupid! Overall, I laughed, cried, smiled a lot, got all tingly and was overcome with joy at the end!

"Your husband is fucking hot."

"Holy shit. If that's how you look at him when he has his clothes on, then we'll never get you out of bed once the season starts."

He tasted so good, like whisky and Isaiah, sin and redemption. He surrendered, melting against Victor with a moan that spoke of the nights they'd spend apart.
