Made to Order: A Small Town Kinky M/M Romance (Naughty in Pendleton)

A well written submission/dominance story, along with a coming out story, makes this a good read. Donovan and Tyler are so well matched and l enjoyed how they come together, sorting out each needed from one another. There are a few surprises along the way too. Possibly the best in the series. An entertaining and hot read

MM contemporary romance, BDSM, D/s, Bi awakening. Easy to read page-turning great read third book in the series but reads as a stand-alone. Tyler a Veteran and bar manager and Donovan Ryan, Chef haven't had much to do with each other but seem to rub each other up the wrong way. They're forced to spend more time together when Tyler is put in charge of the Tavern for a week. HEA.

Made to Order is an enemies to lovers BDSM romance, leaning towards dominance and submission with impact and breath play.Donovan is head chef at The Hawke Inn and Tyler is the bar manager. It's no secret that they don't really get on and it's only exacerbated when Tyler is left in charge when the owner goes away. Donovan is a dom and does not do well taking orders from others so it comes as a big surprise to them both when Tyler leans in and accepts Donovan's dominance, especially as he's always identified as straight. Tyler is more than happy to antagonise Donovan, bringing more struggle and pain to their encounters. They start something as a way to let off steam and for Tyler to explore this new side of himself but the longer things go on, emotions inevitably get involved and they both have to decide what they want for their future and if Tyler is open to coming out at all.I enjoyed reading this story. The author's writing of the scenes between the men is full of physicality but equally balanced with feelings of trust and contentment. Tyler and Donovan clearly do not like each other to begin with and are quite entertaining in their back and forth but the relationship that builds is very interesting as it starts in secret and solely through kink, Donovan happy to share his experience and expertise as a dom to bring Tyler the high and peace that can only really be achieved in those moments together. It did take me longer to connect to Donovan's character, I think Tyler's was more personable with his history and interactions with his best friend Eddie. It didn't detract from the story though and is a great addition to the series.I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

Another great story in this series. It is a enemies to lovers story. Donovan and Tyler works at the same restaurant and does not get on and tension keeps building until they give in to the chemistry and kiss and that's the start to their kinky relation. There was some really hot scenes but I actually enjoyed the story more once they start falling for each other and Donovan starts showing a more caring part of himself, which Tyler really need and it makes their relationship stronger. I really enjoyed reading it 💜

This a is a sweet, slow burn, enemies to lovers story - Tyler is a retired Vet turned bar manager and Donovan is a grumpy executive chef. Their relationship starts off with both fighting for dominance over the roles they have in the workplace to to Donovan helping Tyler with the submission he didn’t know he needed. I love this series and this one of my favourite so far, it’s a great read for the summer.I was given an ARC I exchange for an honest review.

I've read this whole series but they don't really need to be read in order. This time it's ex army Vet Tyler who starts of hating chef Donovan but then they find common ground. Lots of fun and steamy bedroom scenes! Look forward to the next one!

This was a great enemies to lovers book. Donovan is the chef/part owner of the Hawk Point Tavern and Tyler was ex military (straight) bar manager but that doesn't mean they need to get along! The attraction was there from the beginning even though Tyler doesn't realise what he's been missing all his life until Donovan slowly shoes him. This is a delicious slow burn and intro of sorts into kink. I love how patient Donovan was with Tyler and two he always had his back. I like the secondary characters including Eddie and Tyler's other friends from when he served in the military. A great addition to the series.I received an arc for an honest review

Donovan and Tyler have a co-workers/enemies vibe at the start of the story. They’re forced to work closely together and the inevitable explosion of lust happens one night. For a person who identified as heterosexual, Tyler certainly didn’t take long in deciding that he liked Donovan’s brand of sadism. Yes, it was quick but Tyler’s previous experience with female partners showed that he had submissive tendencies and he discovered that perhaps he want as straight as he thought. Their relationship develops slowly but isn’t without its issues be is an old ex-boyfriend or Tyler’s army buddyEddie who is battling alcoholism and PTSD. Add to this Tyler’s initial reluctance to settle into a BDSM relationship and .Donovan’s own i to act issues and this is quite an emotional read. It’s very well written, the pace is just about perfect, and it’s hot, so hot (but not the the detriment of the story). Having read the other 2 books in the series I can say that this one is my favourite, 5 hot ⭐️.
