Blue When my ex walks into the resort bar with his new husband on his arm, I want nothing more than to prove to him that I’ve moved on. Thankfully, the sexy stranger sitting next to me is more than willing to share a few kisses in the name of revenge. It gets even better when those scorching kisses turn into a night of fiery passion.
The only problem? Turns out the stranger's brother is marrying my sister later this week.
Tristan I have one rule no messing with the guests at my vineyard resort. Of course the one exception I make turns out to be the brother of the woman my brother’s about to marry. Now we’re stuck together for a week of wedding activities, and there’s no avoiding the heat burning between us.
So fine, we make a deal one week. One week to enjoy each other’s bodies and get it out of our system. Once the bride and groom say I do and we become family, it’ll all be over between us. Right?

So I don't have the words to express just how much I loved this book. I started reading this book as an arc in exchange for an honest review. By 40% I had to own this book for my Amazon library. I hope and pray I can get the next book as an arc too just so I can read it that much sooner because rest assured I'm still going to purchase that one too. Lucy Lennox is now a definite one-click author for me. I'm still smiling and believe me that says a lot because my life is one big clusterfail right now, but this book has still managed to put a huge bright spot in my day.I love witty banter. This book has so much smart, funny, cute, sexy witty banter I was beside myself with happiness. The first night I started reading it I had to stop myself as I started to laugh out loud and almost wake up my SO only to realize that by stifling my mirth I was actually at risk of waking him from my shaking. The next day life fell apart for me, but that night when I needed a distraction and something to smile over, this book did not disappoint.
Some of my criteria for 5 stars:
Did I fall in love? Oh my word, yes. I love Blue and Tristan. I love the humor. The honesty. The openness. The intelligence. The sweetness and sincerity. The sexiness. And the love and caring they had for each other.
Would I re-read it? Absolutely. You better believe it.
Were there moments- sad, funny, sweet, fantasy fueling- that I replay? Again, yes. Basically at this point I'm just reliving and loving the whole book, not just one or two single scenes.

Borrowing Blue Made Marian Series Book 1 edition by Lucy Lennox Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
this was a really good book - will definitely read more in this series and other books by this author.
The characters were dynamic, honest, and for the most part realistic. Good writing, decent length,, and strong secondary characters as well.
I would definitely recommend this book - particularly while it is on sale.
My only negative I believe some names got mixed up in one particularly important scene at about the 85/86% mark. other than that, no major editing issues.
Romance novels aren't really my thing, but once in a while it's fun to read something that's not too serious.
I liked the beginning of this book. The storyline was cute. The two protagonists were fun. Unfortunately, I felt like the plot got lost around the last quarter of this book. There's quite a bit of romance and a LOT of sex. However, by the end of the book, the sex scenes are almost nonstop without much plot going on between them. I found myself skimming through the last few chapters, trying to get back to the story because I wanted to know what was going to happen to characters. Negative one star for the plot that got lost.
Both protagonists views are told in the first person. In the beginning, I thought the author did a great job giving the characters their own distinct voices. But again, the last quarter of the book got sloppy and I had a hard time distinguishing between the protagonists. By the end of the story, both characters have mostly stopped using first names and just call each other "baby," furthering the confusion. Some of the scenes seemed a little far fetched. The public displays of affection seemed a little over the top by the end of the story. It's almost as if the author forgot who the protagonists were. Can a grown man in his thirties repeatedly choose to sit on another grown man's lap in public? I suppose, but I don't think it's likely due to the weight, size, and height of the men described in this story. I'm removing a star for the character confusion. It took me out of the story every time I had to go back to the beginning of the chapter to figure out which character is speaking. This wasn't an issue until the end of the story.
This book was fun for what it was. I might even read another book by this author, but I really wish the last quarter of the book matched up better with the beginning of this story.
Three For The Money
I occasionally do this and I apologize if you don't like me wrapping a whole series in one review. However, this one caught me by complete surprise to the point where I abandoned all the other books I was reading (and they are all by some of my favorite authors) and read straight through these three like a hot knife through butter.
First of all, the characters surrounding the MCs in each book are the crazy Marian family of Northern California, a free-wheeling, loving gang of six natural siblings, five boys (three gay, but one in the closet), and one girl, Simone. Then there's Aunt Tilly, one of the great hoots of all time, and attendant members of other clans and friends of each of the MCs--this gang can definitely shoot straight, but sometimes they all miss the mark.
The main theme in each book is that every single one of the MCs is terrified of commitment for good reason. In "Borrowing Blue," Blue (nee Bartholomew) Marian has just been dumped by his long-time lover Jeremy on the eve of Simone's wedding, and he is not interested in ever having another relationship. Then he meets casual a supposedly straight man named Tristan in the bar of the vineyard estate where Simone's wedding is to take place. Tristan is just coming off a bitter divorce propagated by him finding his wife entwined with...well, that would be giving away a spoiler.
Needless to say, when Jeremy walks into the bar with a boy toy (he was invited to the wedding) and Tristan offers to kiss Blue to prank Jeremy, we have the beginning of a wonderful assignation during which Tristan comes to terms with the fact that he has probably always been at least bi, and Blue comes to the conclusion that this cannot and should not last.
But it does, and along the way during the week-long lead up to the wedding, Blue's brother Jamie comes to town from Alaska where he, a dedicated environmental super star, had just been recently literally left at the altar by a guy named Brian, who turned out to be married. Jamie is off commitments and is also trying to escape the e-mail and voice-mail entreaties of a world-renowned wildlife photographer named Theodore Kodiak, which leads us into "Taming Teddy."
Teddy will bed anyone at anytime, male or female, on the condition that both realize it's likely to be a one-off, and when he finally corrals Jamie in the second book, the slightly older man becomes besotted. To say nothing of how Jamie feels. This book has far more angst than the previous one, but the resolutions are quite remarkable. During a wild New Year's weekend in Hawaii where the whole family has escaped for another wedding, Jamie notices his country-music superstar brother Jude in a hallway being ravaged by his tall, hot, ex-Marine bodyguard Derek--which shocks him because Jude is supposed to be straight (we know he's not because Blue tells us this secret in the first book).
That brings us to "Jumping Jude," which presents us with the Jude-Derek situation, in which both are deeply closeted but in the end it's Derek who cannot force himself to come out. This leads to a major rift that lasts longer than it should because Derek--like Teddy and Blue before him--simply has his head up his ass about relationships.
Each of the books has basically the same plot, but each of the MCs stand out as brilliantly constructed individuals. The covers are absolutely spot-on--you can see the family resemblance in Blue, Jamie and Jude. The sex is explosive and there are a great many sex scenes, each of which stands alone as a lead-up to the next encounter.
In the end, what is implied in the author's note is that she is not done. See, the Marians became very involved in the LGBTQ community when Blue and Jamie came out, and they adopted three young gay men who are now in college--and I think Ms. Lennox has some more Marians to be made. That would be wonderful, because this is one clan I can say lives up to family values.
So I don't have the words to express just how much I loved this book. I started reading this book as an arc in exchange for an honest review. By 40% I had to own this book for my library. I hope and pray I can get the next book as an arc too just so I can read it that much sooner because rest assured I'm still going to purchase that one too. Lucy Lennox is now a definite one-click author for me. I'm still smiling and believe me that says a lot because my life is one big clusterfail right now, but this book has still managed to put a huge bright spot in my day.
I love witty banter. This book has so much smart, funny, cute, sexy witty banter I was beside myself with happiness.
