Mirrigold: Mutterings & Musings

Truth or Dare by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh well that was all ends up smexy and full of loving.

Ella and Brooke pulled out all the stops for this concluding part to what’s been a really enjoyable series from the two and – finally! – a happy ending for the wonder that is Sebastian Vogel aka Bash.

I’ve loved Bash since he first arrived in Brooke’s excellent South Haven series and it was obvious he was going to need someone special. Enter Kieran Bailey.

I have to say, I’d not seen it coming but over the last two books, they’ve proved beyond any doubt that they are utterly perfect together.

This book wraps things up beautifully with some awesomely hot sex, some beautiful conversations and lots of fun times with the rest of the Baileys and with Bash’s bunch of friends on the island.

The series as a whole has been one of my favourites from the pair and I’m intrigued by the two new characters/series’ that they’ve introduced in this final chapter and which will be coming from them individually later on.

Dare Me by Brooke Blaine & Ella Frank

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gah, it’s a good job there’s only a month before the final book comes out because I’m already suffering from Bash and Keiran withdrawal symptoms.

I absolutely loved this instalment as Bash makes up for the seriously crappy way he ghosted Keiran at the end of book one.

It’s steamy, of course, but it’s also super sweet and has lots of wonderful conversation as both men come to the realisation that this is it.

They need to go big or go home and Keiran really doesn’t want to do that and Bash isn’t happy about letting him out of his sight either.

I think the narrative has worked really well to show how much Bash has knocked Keiran’s world off its axis.

It’s more than just a case of of experimentation though, everything about this relationship with Bash is new, but the most important part is that Keiran’s found someone he wants to hold on to.

That’s been the strength of the two books so far for me. Ella and Brooke have put in the groundwork for everything that Keiran goes through.

He’s blindsided by Bash but it’s more than just sexual, he’s attracted to each element of his character and wants more.

With the (little bit) conveniently discovered potential relocation available for Keiran at a fire house not that far from the island, I’m looking forward to seeing how these two compromise on how to move into the rest of their lives together.

Oh, and how the rest of Keiran’s family reacts to him potentially upping sticks 😁
