I've read practically all Tara Lains books and find them fun and sexy. The " Balls To The Wall " series has been exceptionally enjoyable, this is book 4. All set around the arty part of Laguna Beach CA they each feature a couple or in book one a ménage, consisting of one very flamboyant openly gay man, who falls for a more macho man (or 2 as the case may be) or alpha ' straight' guy, and they are just so much fun whilst at the same time being very hot and sexy with great chemistry and ST between the two main MC's - JJ Larrouse and Ryan Star sizzle (as usual) in this one! JJ is such a lovely guy ,looks straight but is extremely gay and flamboyant so he tries to act straight for Ryan who is gay but doesn't go for over feminine guys. This makes for some fun moments but is also quite poignant too, as you see JJ struggle against his true nature for a man he falls for hook, line and sinker, bless him. So, I suppose you could say they all follow the same premise but because the characters are so quirky and loveable in this series , it never gets old and all the previous characters make an appearance in each book so you get to see all of your faves again. Lightweight sexy romances that are easy to read, not to be taken too seriously and fun with a capital F! Just sit back with a cuppa, turn off 'the world' for a couple of hours and enjoy........... The same goes for the rest of the series, I would award it 5*'s overall. In fact check out her other books too, all enjoyable and written in her own unique style that never fails to make me smile. Twins or Jerry's story next - I wonder........? Another fun installment in this Balls to the Walls series. More on the humour in this story of JJ (flamboyant alpha male, who works in David's gallery) and Ryan (heavily closeted co, with good reason as we find out). I wasn't sure about JJ at the start but he definitely grew on me and I wanted his HEA for him! JJ had to learn to trust people would love him as he is (as well as learn to ski) and Ryan had to learn to trust that he could live out of the closet.Reread 16/6/2014 : still love JJ! He is the gentle giant and his trying to act macho is funny! A firm favourite in a great series.
What do You think about Snow Balls (2012)?
Another delightfully funny story from Tara, Thanks again for another good story.
