Book Blurb

Sometimes you only get one chance at a second chance.

Still finding his footing after a long-overdue divorce, Marcus is looking forward to some mind-numbing drinking while ogling the grooms at Chris and Julien’s wedding. He never expected his attention to be diverted by the gorgeous best man.

One of Julien’s French Foreign Legion buddies, Timur doesn’t speak much English, but language is no barrier to Marcus understanding exactly what the huge Tartar wants—a one-night stand.

Except that one night turns into two, three, then more, which puts Marcus on edge. After Timur is done house-sitting for the honeymooning couple, he’s headed back to the Legion for another five years. Like it or not, once Timur gets on that plane, the fling is over.

Unfortunately, Marcus forgot to tell his heart not to fall in love. And this time, if history repeats and he makes another wrong decision, he may never see his tattooed Legionnaire lover again.

Contains a soldier who makes up for his lack of English by using his hands to read his lover’s body; a chef-turned-bartender who no longer believes in love; a length of paracord that probably wasn’t meant to be used this way; and a couple of newlyweds who are game for some four-way play.

First edition published by Samhain Publishing in January 2015.

Book Review

It has been far too long since I experienced the world of the 'Wilde's' series and a great bar called Wilde's. This is the fifth installment in the series and L.A. Witt has joined forces with Aleksandr Voinov again and I truly adore their partnership. I was looking forward to some great writing, excellent characters, hot and steamy sex, and a marvelous happy ever after. I love it when authors give me what I want…it really makes everyone's lives so much easier. *grins*

I'm not sure if it's considered a cliché to sleep with the best man at your friend's wedding, but had I been in Marcus's place I doubt I could have kept my hands off of Timur. Huge Ukrainian in the French Foreign Legion with muscles upon muscles and brilliant green eyes, and a tan not often seen in Seattle. A one-night stand with a guy who will be heading back overseas is exactly what Marcus needs, since the end of his marriage to Ray and the subsequent divorce has had him melancholy, morose, and a little bitter sometimes. Not good vibes to be giving off when you're a bartender at Wilde's, the hottest gay nightclub in town.

Marcus is more than a little surprised when Timur walks into Wilde's the following night looking for him. It would appear Timur is staying at Chris and Julien's for a month to take care of their house and cats. Looks like a one-night stand just turned into two. And three. And four. By then it is just ridiculous not to agree to spend the rest of Timur's time there together. Marcus could show him the sights, cook for him, and they could spend many nights together in bed. A definite win-win. Marcus just doesn’t realize how quickly he'd come to having feelings for the gentle giant.

This may very well be my favorite of the series so far. Timur hit so many of my buttons and reminded me of some of the greatest men I've known in my life. Marcus was easy to adore and his insecurities at the end were so understandable that I really felt for him. Of course, if it hadn't all come together I would have been mad at Marcus for pushing away the most wonderful man he has ever had. I can't wait for more!
