Feature and Giveaway: All In with the Duke by Ava March

Max Arrington, the Duke of Pelham, vows to never again let a handsome face blind him to a man's true intentions. But ten months of celibacy and lonely nights drive him to a decadent brothel, where a beautiful young man arouses his illicit passions as never before.

Tristan Walsh has grown tired of being used for men's pleasure. But his latest client is different: commanding yet generous, Max makes him feel cared for as well as wanted. Yet Tristan knows he'll never have the choice to leave the brothel and submit only to Max.

So when Max invites him to be his guest at his country estate, Tristan eagerly agrees to his terms—days to do as he pleases while Max tends to the dukedom, and nights spent together in wicked play. But when the "business arrangement" begins to deepen into something more, Tristan must face the fact that he has no true place in Max's life—or in Max's guarded heart…

ARC Review: Rogues by Ava March

Linus and Robert have been the best of friends for most of their lives and they share everything, including each others beds. Though no one knows and it isn't an everyday occurrence. Normally Robert prefers to bed woman and Linus prefers other men and they never share partners. Lately Robert has been feeling restless and the more he watches Linus disappear at a ball with another man for an assassination, he finds himself growing more and more jealous. He is starting to realize that Linus stirs feelings in him that no other person can and he's tired of feeling jealous. So Robert comes up with a plan and after a heated night spent together he propositions Linus with the details-that they should see only each other no one else.

Linus can hardly believe his ears. At one time all he wanted was to be with Robert exclusively, but not now. Linus does not want things to change because he can't lose Robert. And that is what will happen if he accepts he proposition. Eventually Robert would tire of him and then leave him to be with a woman. No Linus would rather keep things they way they are.

I rather enjoyed this novella but I feel it was a bit lacking. There really wasn't anything major going on besides the relationship between Linus and Robert. I wished there could have been a bit more umph involved. More angst maybe. Though I did enjoy the relationship between them both I just wish we could have seen a bit more. I will say that the sexytimes were written very well. I definitely felt the passion between Robert and Linus.

ARC Review: Thief by Ava March

This was my first book by Ava March and it definitely won't be my last. I really enjoyed this novella and I loved the connection between Benjamin and Cavin. I found their love story to be sweet.

Lord Benjamin Parker has always felt an attraction toward other men but had never acted on it. He knows that he needs to quickly figure out what it is he truly wants. When he hears rumors of a brothel that caters to his type of needs, he decides he will give himself one night to figure out what he truly wants.

At first Benjamin is a little overwhelmed and not sure if he can actually go through with it, but once he sits down to play cards with a handsome gentleman his guard quickly comes down. Not only does he feel his pulse race every time they touch, but he can't wait to leave and be alone with him.

Cavin Fox is no gentleman. He actually frequents the brothel to fleece the men he meets there. When he encounters Benjamin he was only supposed to be a job. He was never supposed to feel the attraction he does and he definitely wasn't meant to fall for him. After a hot and steamy encounter between the two, Benjamin falls asleep and Cavin quickly leaves. He knows that Benjamin was only supposed to be a job and feelings were meant to be involved, but he just can't rob him and if that means returning home with nothing, then so be it.

But one night quickly turns into more when both Cavin and Benjamin realize that they want more. Benjamin is tired of living his life in a lie. He finally knows what he wants and it's Cavin. He will do anything he can to convince Cavin to stay with him. He doesn't care that he was once a thief. He knows Cavin is a good person and he just wants to take care of him. Cavin would like nothing more to be with Benjamin, but knows he will never be good enough. A once thief with no job or proper upbringing is not good enough for Benjamin. Or at least that is what Cavin believes.

I loved the dynamics between the two and I thought that they were so sweet together. I loved that no matter how Cavin tried to stay away, something would always bring him back and into the arms of Benjamin. These two had great chemistry and I was really rooting for them.
