Summary

Sawyer Jonathan Aston has an extremely suckable...ahem. We’re talking eight inches of girthy perfection. Two-thirds of a foot of succulent man-meat. A true cornucopia of carnal delights.  

And tonight, that ahem is going to make my mouth feel like a Tokyo subway car at rush hour. We’re talking crowded. Crammed. Absolutely stuffed. And if I’m lucky, a few stops later we’ll both get off at the same time and head home together to see what kind of trouble we can get up to when bed is our final destination.  

But you know what they say about the best-laid plans.... 

It's a good thing I'm resourceful, because come what may, I'm not going to stop until I make Sawyer mine.  

Side Character is a stand-alone short story set in the Masters of Romance universe. While there are no authors in this one, there is a sassy best friend who messes things up spectacularly, but still manages to land the man of his dreams. Get ready for love, laughter, and some serious steam. No cheating and no love triangles, guaranteed.

A cute and steamy New Year's love

I adored this New Year's themed novella and can't believe how quickly I fell in love with Sawyer and Gavin! Gavin made such a hilarious drunk, and it was so freaking cute to watch him fumble his way around Sawyer. I've never been so happy to see a plan go horribly wrong, because if there's anything cuter than snuggling in the laundry room and looking after your drunk sweetheart I can't think of it. Don't even get me started on how wonderfully steamy their interaction was after they woke up sober--10/10 would listen again!

Short, sweet, steamy, and funny

I loved this short story. Gavin sets out with one goal in mind for this New Year's eve party, and that's to get hold of his long time crush's d*ck. Gavin's internal monologuing is hilarious, as well as his descriptions of sober Gavin, drunk Gavin, and merely tipsy Gavin. He thinks he's made a complete fool of himself when he finally gets his chance with Sawyer, but Sawyer may just have plans of his own. This story is funny, sweet, and steamy. Besides Gavin and Sawyer, Sawyer's friends are a hoot, too, as they cheer him on and try to 'help' him achieve his goal.

The narration is wonderful! Michael Ferraiuolo does an absolutely fantastic job voicing these characters, including all the humor and self-deprecating internal commentary.

Light steamy fun

This is a light story about two guys who want to have some steamy fun together. it doesn't try to present a deep relationship, but the chemistry between them is palpable and it is clear they have a much longer story to tell. Here we just get steam, interesting friends and an introduction to their world. A great palate cleanser if you've been reading any dark, angsty stuff. Michael Ferraiuolo gives a wonderful, charming performance that captures the emotions and stay light.

Short and steamy.

I absolutely loved this.
Gavin is so adorable and klutzy.
Sawyer was so sweet and I loved his friends having his back and working together to help him get his man.

A delightful side story

I absolutely enjoyed this little side story of Gavin and Sawyer! Their storyline is funny and quirky and definitely sweet. Alcott has a great way of charming me into this series and I cannot wait for the next one.

Great teaser

A great opening teaser to the series by Emma Alcott. Short sweet and romantic. Michael Ferraiuolo did an amazing job with the narration. Be warned that you will want Bad Boy after listening to this teaser of a story by a great writer and a fantastic narrator.

Funny and hot with the best narration

Emma (Piper) & Michael is the best duo ever if it comes to m/m audiobooks. Emma writes awesome, funny and hot stories and Michael narrates the best way possible.

I really liked listening to this short story, I just read it a week before the audio came out, and it still was enjoyable. The storyline is hilarious, both characters are cute and head over heels in each other. I just love funny sex scenes, those are so much better and more real. I listened to it with a big smile on my face.

This is a short story before the full lenght novel, total standalone, but I recommend reading/listening to the next one too. Great series.

A New Year’s Eve Surprise

New Year’s Eve is going to be the day Gavin will bag Sawyer, the man of his dreams, AND enjoy a good ol’ NYE blow job. Unfortunately, Gavin’s plans go awry and all seems lost…until Sawyer steps in and shows that maybe Gavin’s crush is reciprocated. This was a short, quick novella that had humor, drama, and some delightful sexy laundry time. I read it after I read book one in the Masters of Romance series, but it stands very easy on its own. I do recommend reading Bad Boy, the first book in the Masters of Romance series right after this book.

I demand more stars for this book

This may be short but it’s also incredibly sweet and hot. The two main characters had so much chemistry I can’t wait to listen to more. The narration made this go from a fantastic story for me to a give it all the stars book. I snort laughed on more than one occasion. Such a fantastic story
