Every man he’s been attracted to over the past year has turned out to be straight—including Scott, a cute new library patron who comes complete with an adorable puppy. Charlie was almost ready to give up on ever finding love in Hope Springs, but when Scott kisses him… ... twice… … he starts to realise that the gorgeous man of his dreams might not be as straight as he thinks he is. Is there hope for the two of them? After uprooting his life and moving to Hope Springs to finally pursue his dream of becoming a veterinarian, Scott still feels lost in his new hometown. He doesn’t really fit in at work and his classmates are all younger than him, so all he has for company is his small pack of foster dogs. That is, until he meets Charlie. Charlie isn’t like anyone Scott’s ever met. He’s never wanted to kiss another man before. What the hell is he supposed to do now? Checked Out is the second gay romance in The Family Jules series, but it can be read alone. It does not contain a cliffhanger, but it does contain a puppy called Chewie, a kiss that Charlie totally didn’t start, a kiss that Scott totally didn’t start, a sweater with a hole in the sleeve, explicit sex scenes, the entire Jules family in one room, and a happily-ever-after ending. less

It's the only place I've ever wanted to be. Riley Jules has been in love with Brent Morrison since they were fifteen years old. He always thought the day of Brent’s wedding would be bittersweet, but he couldn’t have predicted that Brent’s fiancée would leave him standing at the altar. With his best friend hurting, all Riley can think of is how desperately he wants to comfort Brent--but then one thing leads to another, and before he knows it, they’re falling into bed together. It seems like a one-time thing, but… Maybe Riley’s feelings aren’t so one-sided after all. Brent’s had a lot go wrong in his life--his parents dying, being left to raise his little sister alone, and now being humiliated in front of all of Hope Springs--but maybe the one good thing he could have is Riley. That is, if he could just get Riley to stay in one place for more than five minutes. Can Riley and Brent grab hold of their moment and keep each other close? Stood Up is the third and last Family Jules book, following Riley’s story. It can be read alone, has a HEA ending, and does not contain a cliffhanger. It does, however, contain: a dominatrix’s beach cabin, an RV full of Christmas lights, the entire Jules family, explicit sex scenes, two tubs of ice cream, and yet another dog. less
