I am simply enamored of this series and can’t wait to read more about all of the unique characters residing in Brigs Ferry Bay. ~ Leigh – Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

 

 

 

Synopsis:

When we moved from New York to Maine, life was supposed to get easier, not harder.
Change, for me, was difficult.
I became the target of terrible crimes that resulted in sending a once-beloved man of the community to prison for a very long time.

Now that I’m eighteen, I could move back to the Big Apple, but fear has me rooted in place.
I hate what that monster did to me.
Looks like I’m stuck here for good.
Brigs Ferry Bay’s unhappiest gay.

Each day, the darkness closes in around me more and more.
Black clothes. Black mood. Black thoughts. Black eyeliner.
The color in my life bled from me months ago and never came back.

Until him.
Atlas Larson.
Newest cop on the BFB police force.
Too hot. Too strong. Too old for me. Too…everything.

Atlas is a rebellious, bossy, mouthy brute who likes to provoke me.
Every encounter starts with heat and ends with an argument.
Color begins sneaking back into my world little by little.
He reminds me of who I once was and shows me who I’m meant to be.

I crave to leave this town once and for all.
But now that I’ve found the courage to do it, the arrogant jerk with a badge might find a way to keep me here and in his arms forever.

***Brigs Ferry Bay is a steamy MM romance series. While each book can be read as a standalone, in order to get the full experience, they’re best read in order. Enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, hurt comfort, age-gap romance, and so much more. Fall in love with the charming small-town gay romances of Brigs Ferry Bay…***

 

 

 

 

I love this town, I love this author and I adore these characters together. I am simply enamored of this series and can’t wait to read more about all of the unique characters residing in Brigs Ferry Bay.

We met Callan as the younger brother of Dante in Sheriff’s Secret. The young, trust fund kid who has lost his parents, been uprooted from New York City to backwater Brigs Ferry Bay by his siblings, and is struggling to fit in as a gay teen in a homophobic small town. He’s been the target of so much abuse by people in the town, both physical and mental, and you can’t help but want him to finally catch a break. Surrounded by people that love him, Callan feels stifled by their protection and coddling, and longs to break out of the darkness consuming him. He feels that any change is hopeless. Until Atlas walks in.

Having suffered the same homophobia in the town as a teen, Atlas left only to return as an adult, the town’s new police officer ready to take on the townspeople and their narrow minded, bullying beliefs. What he doesn’t expect is to find a brooding boy that turns his black and white world to every shade of the rainbow. Atlas is gruff, domineering, and kinky as hell. He gets what he wants, and what he wants is Callan. He wants to dominate him, he wants to care for him, and rather than smother Callen with his protection, Atlas wants to be the one to set him free.

I adored these two men together. They could not have been more opposite. One was a big, burly lumberjack of a man, the other was a butterfly that brought beauty and color with his presence. One was older and had seen enough of the world to be jaded. One was younger and although wise beyond his years, still had so much to experience. And yet they worked perfectly. Their relationship was sexy and fun and oh so loving and caring, and I just fell for both of them, while also growing more and more in love with the other characters I’d already met and knew I liked.

I did feel like the underlying story of the townspeople who abused Callan got resolved too quickly and swept under the rug faster than I would have liked, but that didn’t stop me from absolutely devouring this book.

It did come with a teaser for the next story by K. Webster focusing on Zak, Jax’s brother who had to watch Callan fall in love with a man other than himself. Short, quick and to the point, this teaser has perfectly set up the next story that I have to eagerly await.
