Author: Kindle Alexander

Genre: M/M Romance

Release Date: 30 October 2017

Wildly successful entrepreneur, Thane Walker is stubbornly set in his ways. Adamantly resistant to the shackles of commitment, he’s seen enough unhappy endings to learn the best way to play is by keeping his men on the payroll. 

Levi Silva’s dream of graduating from one of the country’s top medical schools is in his grasp, until news from home changes everything. Now, he’s raising his two teenage brothers and trying to keep everyone’s head above water, emotionally and financially. 

When Levi’s new job puts him in Thane’s path, their chemistry explodes, but their fear of being involved in relationships keeps them apart. Unfortunately, despite the intense desire drawing them together, neither man can move forward until they get past their own…Reservations.

A new standalone m/m romance by authors Kindle Alexander, brings together the story of opposites, Thane Walker and Levi Silva.

Thane is a self-assured businessman who has made a name for himself and is now riding high on a new venture. He is not a man for relationships and he seeks out escorts or short term sex contracts to feed his sexual gratifications. He is a man used to getting what he wants and when he wants. However when he spies new waiter in his new business, Reservations, he is drawn like a moth to a flame with the extremely sexy Levi.

Levi has always struggled in life and more so since his father’s death some two years ago. Having to shelve his plans on his doctor training to care for his two younger brothers, he takes on extra jobs where he can to support them all. Also with his mother having walked out on them some fifteen years ago and then hearing of her death shortly after, Levi is all alone in his financial and emotional struggles. When he is offered a job from an ex client from his physical therapist role, Julian, who now manages a hit new club, Reservations, he is astounded to hear he can make more in one night than a week in his café job, he knows he has no excuse but to take it. Levi has very high morals and he sees Reservations as a high class hook up joint for gay men. However once he sees how classy it is and that Julian is only out to support him, he takes the job which brings him into contact with his boss’ boss, Thane.

The attraction between the two of them is undeniable and the chemistry is intense. However when two opposites meet there is bound to be plenty of angst, plenty of drama and plenty of heat which this book absolutely brings forth. The secondary characters were extremely likable and brought an added depth to the storyline. It was good to also cross over and pick up with other characters from previous books (it can still be read as a standalone though). The highlight characters for me though were Julian and Levi’s brothers.

There were some elements of the story that were way over the top, especially the part about Levi’s mother which for me did not add anything to the story or enhance it so was kind of irrelevant. I suppose this strange drama did in a way mean that Levi and Thane were forced to be in closer proximity. There was also an extreme over use of epithets which I have found recent books by these authors which I find so distracting when I should be focused only on the storyline. Maybe it’s just me but it was annoying.

Overall though it was an engaging and sexy read and I liked how the spoilt and selfish Thane overcame his shortcomings and the downtrodden martyr Levi outgrew his outlook on life and started to believe in his self-worth. The HEA was added by the heart-warming epilogue, so a lovely ending. Four stars.

I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle.

I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.
