About Wound Tight:
A sexy new M/M romance from New York Times Bestselling author Tessa Bailey
When CEO Renner Bastion walks into a room, everyone keeps their distance. Well, everyone but the sarcastic, tattooed, Boston-bred security guard whose presence has kept Renner in New Jersey longer than intended. As if the unwanted attraction isn’t unsettling enough, Renner finds out his protector isn’t as unavailable as originally thought.
Milo Bautista just came out to his wealthy, ultra-confident boss, a man he secretly respects and admires…in more ways than he’ll admit. Worldly, experienced Renner would never look in his direction, let alone share some of that confidence he wears like a cloak, so Milo has set his sights on someone else to be his first.
Until Renner offers him private lessons in seduction…
ARC provided with no expectations
There was a hint of this relationship to come in the last book in this series, Worked Up, but it did
not prepare me for the emotional, passionate, and simply wonderful story contained in Wound Tight. Two men; one an uptight white collar professional and the other an easygoing blue collar man who works for the first, it has disaster written all over it but in reality there was more foreplay and fun than tears and angst and I found it impossible to put down.
From the moment he bought and reorganized the factory in Red Hook, Renner Bastion hasn’t been the area’s favorite person. Determined to keep everyone working and happy, Renner has been working himself to death and he had the heart attack and blood pressure medication to prove it. Renner is a workaholic who is determined to get everything he wants; unfortunately the man he wants isn’t someone he can have. Not only is Milo Bautista part of his security team, he is 7 years younger and heterosexual or so Renner believes.
I loved that both Renner and Milo had been checking each other out since Milo came to work for him at the factory and while Renner had some strict policies about his dating life, Milo was just trying to figure out his sexuality. Both were very in tune to one another with Milo trying to keep Renner safe and healthy and Renner inordinately interested in every little thing regarding Milo. Their verbal sparring was laced with humor and while at times antagonistic; it served as foreplay for these two men. Through a very strange bargain, Renner agreed to let Milo help him de-stress his life and in exchange he would help Milo be more comfortable and self assured in his sexuality. There’s a bit on a monkey wrench in their situation which causes a few misunderstandings and a bit of strife and Renner has some baggage which makes him skeptical of anything lasting, and bless Milo’s heart he refuses to let Renner hide or not accept at the very least his friendship. Milo was an absolute joy of a character; open, fun loving, full of life and so caring and with Renner’s help he did become more accepting of his sexuality and confident in all aspects of his life. Renner was very closed off and honestly seemed a bit miserable in his life, but Milo helped him to see that he was worthy of admiration, he was a good person and more than that he deserved to have someone in his life that cared for him.
Let me just say that these two do some heavy duty exploring of one another and each encounter is hotter than the last. Renner’s “boss man” attitude is not contained to the boardroom and Milo finds he rather enjoys giving himself over to Renner.
Wound Tight was an exceptional gay romance; one that made me laugh out loud, made me squirm with the hotness between these two men, made me shed a tear or two, but most of all left me with an overwhelming since of rightness and joy. Thank you Tessa!

Tessa Bailey Bio:
Author Bio: Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days.
Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.
She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of nine years and four-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.
