This is a Series Review of Up-Ending Tad: A Journey of Erotic Discovery (Books 3 & 4)
AUTHOR: Kora Knight
PUBLISHER: Self Pub
SERIES REVIEW:
I know this is categorized as “Erotica” and this is for sure erotic as all get out but it was also beautifully romantic and I hate to think the romance comes second. What starts as a seriously HOT one-off, turns in something so much more. I loved how Scott and Tad were with each other. Even when both wanted to keep their distance there was something so carnal about their connection. These are the first books that I’ve read by this author and she DID NOT disappoint. This whole series is like an onion, each one has a new layer and it delves deeper into sexual explorations and emotional connection. These books were remarkable!!
I want more! I want spinoffs! I want Breck’s story! I want Max’s story!! I want it all and then I want seconds and thirds!! I HIGHLY recommend this whole series…I read all 5 in just a couple days…almost impossible to put down!!! Get them!!!
SERIES RATING: 
BOOK 3 TITLE: Sideline Submission
LENGTH: 90 pages
BLURB:
Round two with Scott hadn’t been what Tad expected, but it did end up providing a few important realizations. For one, that crazy first encounter was definitely more than mere male hormones. Which meant he felt a true attraction to the guy. Something that explained his defenselessness against Scott’s smoldering charms. Seriously, the dude had cut through his fortifications like the things hadn’t even existed.
Which, yeah, was pretty unsettling.
So Tad had resolved to cope with his findings the only logical way he knew how: purge the guy from his system once and for all by staying away for good. Unfortunately, that proved way more uncomfortable than he’d anticipated. Seemed his ‘stupid infatuation’ ran considerably deeper, which made going cold-turkey one miserable chore.
So when Scott unexpectedly seeks him out, Tad’s too drained to fight his turmoil any longer. Allowing himself a much needed fix, he agrees to hang out, neither he nor Scott knowing Dom boy Max will end up part of the deal. What starts out as an unassuming evening quickly turns shockingly licentious. Question is, will Tad be able to handle it? And more importantly, what path will it send him down in his ongoing journey of discovery?
REVIEW:
It needs to be said again and again how incredibly NUCLEAR these two characters are together. The chemistry that the author has built with these two men, blows my friggin mind.
Sideline Submission picks up about 4 weeks after Test of Endurance. We’re basically at the pinnacle of Tad’s denial. He’s trying his hardest to stay away from Scott so he can essentially get over his attraction to the man. His efforts are proving useless though because he finds himself constantly thinking about Scott. So much so that it’s actually driving him a little crazy.
They decide to hang out that night and things are seemingly pretty innocent for the most part. But as these things tend to happen with these two things turn BEYOND wild and extremely voyeuristic. Max, Scott’s roommates asks Scott to observe a scene and he invites Tad accompany him.
Both men lose absolute control as the scene plays out. They delve deeper into the physical and emotional but Tad is still not sure about who he is. The torment is gut wrenching and the yearning from Scott is palpable.
Like I said before….you will HAVE to keep reading….you will WANT to…you will NEED to….!!!

BOOK 4 TITLE: Prized Possession
LENGTH: 106 pages
BLURB:
With Tad’s reservations firmly on the one-eighty, he’s finally more at ease exploring this intriguing new part of himself, especially where his attraction, and affections, for Scott are concerned. But when their plans get cancelled, Tad winds up watching the guy in action at the gym instead. Kickboxing lessons lead to sparring, which in turn leads to a face-off more erotic than Tad could have ever imagined. Huge new boundaries crossed, both men are floored like never before. Have these milestones finally put all Tad’s hang-ups solidly behind him?
REVIEW:
This is what I am talking about!! Don’t get me wrong I really, really liked/loved the first 3 books…but I just flat out loved this one. This was Scott split open wide with his soft squishy underbelly showing completely giving his all to Tad. Even Tad was sufficiently cracked. He was finally emotional towards Scott; actually giving him a reason to hope that maybe there would be more.
The fight to stay away from each other wasn’t as strong in Prized Possession as it had been in the other books. There’s a bit of distance but nothing like before. All the while, Tad was able to land his dream internship and he hasn’t been happier. Things seem to be going good for him and he’s able to imagine something different for himself.
On his way home from work Tad gets an unexpected but very much wanted call from Scott. Having had not spoken in weeks these men are basically starving for each other. They embark on one of the hottest phone sex conversations I’ve ever read and I’m sure it’s the hottest phone sex I’ve ever read while one of the participants was DRIVING!!! HOLY COW….!! WOW!!!
The impromptu meeting of the friends, the sparring foreplay, and the role reversal all worked together to make book 4 out of this world good!
Can I just say its past midnight, I have to be at work in the morning but I’m still going to at least start book 5 tonight. These stories are book crack…SO GOOD!!
