This was Jasper's story. I was always taken aback by the way this wonderful family of accepting parents and other gay siblings, had treated Jasper. Jasper was like the "red-headed stepchild"...put him in the barn, have him manage the farm, but never treat him like one of the other sons. Jasper never was able to tell his family that he was bisexual. He knew even if he did, they wouldn't have believed him. Even inviting him to go to the Stick Pony, a gay bar, with them on night was a bit on the "mean" side. It backfired big time on them though because this is where Jasper meets not one...but two men, Greg and Harrison, that become the "loves of his life". We had met Harrison in the first three books. He was Derek's best friend and a member of the band. I was happy to see that his three brothers did have the good graces to come and talk to him and apologize for their years of bad behavior. It was also good to see his dad come around to being a better father and not so judgmental. Jasper was his oldest son, but he treated him like slave labor. I hated to see this series end...I'll miss all the wonderful, warm, sweet guys...but I own all the books so I can revisit, and I will. There is a Christmas book, Home for Christmas, that is part of this series with a story for each couple.… (meer)

Jasper and Harrison finally get their story. As always with this series, there is a kink involved here...and it involves Greg Joseph, one of the Navy SEALs introduced in Book 2 of this series. Jasper finally becomes comfortable with himself, but several unresolved issues remain setting the stage for a sequel and the final book in this series. The three guys were sweet together, but some of the other characters, like Ty, Jasper's rock star brother, was a bit harsh for no apparent reason. I would have liked to see him at least be a bit more supportive of his brother. At any rate...I enjoyed it, and it was a good addition to the "Finding Home" series. Maybe in the next book, the last one, the brothers, Ty, Declan and Jaspers's father can become a little more human and forgiving.… (meer)

Seth Johnson is a hockey star with the Tennessee Grizzlies hockey team. He is also the first-born in the Johnson family of 9 children. The family is unusual in the fact that the mother, father, and grandmother...all are a part owner, and all work at the family owned BDSM club. Also the 6 sons and 3 daughters are all gay. This is the last book in the series although the characters are likely to pop up in other Carly Marie books. Seth and a man, Mazdon Grabowski, meet at a Halloween party. Maz is the newest member of the team but hadn't met his teammates yet. When Maz and Seth meet at the party, they believe it's just a one-time hook-up, so they didn't use their real names, and both were in costume. .Maz hadn't played yet with the team so he nor Seath knew who the other was...but neither of them could ever forget the encounter. Seth went by the name "Pretty" and Maz was "Phantom". When they began sending text messages to those names, neither had any idea they were from the two of them who are now playing on the same hockey team. I have loved each of these three books. I hate to see this series end but was so glad I bought all of them so I can reread to my heart's content. Seth and Maz end up getting to know one another, while each thinking they were still receiving text from someone that they met at the party. There were some clues that they "thought" were things that each of them remembered learning from the other...but they didn't learn the identity until more than half-way though the story. In spite of it being nontraditional, their story really works. Seth and Maz are so sweet together, and I liked how they made one another a stronger person and how easily they accepted each other's individual kink. One of the lines that really made a lasting impression on me was when one of Seth's brothers told him "You have to always be yourself no matter what, because everyone else is already taken". The real possibility of such a totally accepting hockey team, really existing is probably a bit of a stretch, but times are changing and seeing as they are all truly nice guys...it's totally possible. Their camaraderie as a team is all there for everyone to see...and I loved these tough, grown men and their teddy bears.… (meer)

Coming Home...the second book in the Finding home series, is an incredibly warm and cute story about two guys who have been best friends since they were 5 years old, and some time ago discovered they are in love with each other but wasn't sure if or how, they could act on it. Declan’s family turned on him when the boys were in high school, and Ty’s family took him in and shows him what a true family is, and what love should be. Ty's mother is a force to be reckoned with:) Fast forward a few years and both guys are successful in their own fields, Ty a veterinarian and Declan a Navy Seal, and of course they are still living together, as well as still being super close friends...both secretly still wanting more, but neither brave enough to take it any further for fear of ruining a 20 plus years friendship. When Declan comes home from his latest deployment, both know they need to stop keeping this secret from each other...but how do they tell each other how they feel? I loved how Carly Marie brought them together for that first explosive time. Also, how well thought out and realistic the characters were. The story flowed well with just the right amount of angst. Their chemistry was intense right from the beginning, and I enjoyed reading about their friendship over the years and how it changed. It was good to see the family and get caught up with Derek and Colt from the first book. Hope the characters from previous books continue to filter throughout the remainder of the books,… (meer)
