AUTHOR: Mathew Ortiz
PUBLISHER: Mathew Ortiz
LENGTH: 160 Pages
BLURB:
What does a horny, bisexual, triplet, father of one do to blow off some steam? Go to the most infamous sex club in Atlanta, that’s what! Avery Myer was the responsible, dependable, reliable… too many ‘bles’ in his opinion. So when his little boy Peg decided to spend the night at a friend’s house, Avery decided it was time to have a night of nasty, dirty anonymous man sex and lord knows he needed it!
Martin Gaither knew if his sister Nan found out where he was going, she would disapprove. She would say he was looking for love in all the wrong places and he’d reminded her that he hadn’t had any luck finding love in the right places. So why not forgo love and jump on lust instead? Not like he was going to find love at Hobbins Gym and Sauna!
REVIEW:
Welcome to the new series from Mathew Ortiz! I was, at first, disappointed when he announced this new series would be coming before more Oswald Witches books, but I’m over that now! I really enjoyed this new set of characters, and how Matt managed to tie in the characters from his Love and Salvage series and his Renovating Love series. It is good to see them all coming together, and makes me think Matt is just writing about real people living up there in Georgia! Oh, and I LOVED when Martin unwraps what he bought for Avery from Desdemona Darkly!
In this first installment of the new series, we focus on “the butcher”, or Avery Myer. Avery is the “oldest” of three triplets since he was born first. Thus, he is the A, his brother Boone is the B and his brother Cotton is the C.
Avery has always been the responsible, dependable and reliable brother. He met his wife when he was young, they had a baby, they were totally in love, and then she was taken from him by a tragic auto accident. Even though he is bisexual, we get the impression that he has never explored that side of himself as much. All that changes one night when he finally takes Boone and Cottons advice (unknown to them) and visits Hobbin’s Gym and Sauna (a fancy name for a bath house).
Martin Gaither is Levi’s brother from the book Skin Tight Levis. Martin is also the responsible one, he has a daughter from a previous marriage, and is also bisexual. He is so responsible and white bread, that he even drives a Buick sedan. He also hasn’t found love and decides to try out some lust instead at the same “Gym and Sauna”.
When the two men meet outside in the pool, hot times ensue! But immediately afterwards for some reason Avery rushes away. What could have been an abrupt end to their story though, takes a turn for the better when Martin and Avery run into each other (literally) while dropping their kids off on the first day of school. Where can it go from here? Avery has his son, Peg, and Martin has his daughter, Poppy. Can two single bisexual dads find the time for each other?
No further spoilers. I enjoyed this book very much, and lest you worry, there is tons of hot sex for those so inclined….including some black anal beads…and lots of wild monkey sex!
For those of you who have been following along with Matt’s books since the beginning, like I have, you will definitely see that Matt is growing by leaps and bounds in his writing. His character depth makes these characters seem three dimensional. In addition to the MCs, he also writes some great background characters like Mawmaw in this book. I was also happy to get a hint near the end of the book about who the MCs in “The Baker” are going to be as well you big old tease, Mr. Ortiz.
I highly recommend this new book, and can’t wait for the story of the baker and then the story of the custom bike maker!
RATING:
BUY LINK:
Sold! Never read a Mathew Ortiz before, though I have seen his name branded around, looks like a good start to me to break my virgin status.
I think so far my favorites are his Oswald witches books, but I’ve enjoyed them all.
Have you got to read them in order?
Yes, because I’ve got a touch of OCD and just can’t jump around…LOL.
ok
I love Matt Ortiz, his books are always a joy to read. He knows how to balance the good and the bad life throughs at you with humor and love. I am reading this now and loving it.
Can’t wait for the next one!
