Another day, another series by D.J. Jamison. This time around, Martial Bliss, which this series is anything but (at least at first--who needs "traditional" love/marriage when you can fake-dating trope your way into true love and martial bliss). A quick novella between the second and third books: "Nobody's Groom".
["Can two enemies find love after a rocky start?
TJ hoped the Triple J Ranch would be a fresh start under a new name, with his tarnished family reputation behind him. He didn't count on the young, spirited Colby provoking him at every turn. But when tempers boil over, TJ discovers that Colby's disgust with him is more like lust, and that he'd do just about anything to tangle with the confused kitten.Colby likes everyone, but something about the new, unfriendly cowboy on the crew gets under his skin. He doesn't understand just how worked up TJ has him until his body reacts, shocking them both. Colby's never been with a man, but he can't fight the desire TJ's rough hands have awakened in him.
It's just physical, an opportunity to indulge Colby's secret desires. But the young ranch hand's innocence softens something inside TJ, and he can't deny he wants more. He's nobody's groom, but could he be Colby's love -- or will his lies come between them?"]
God, this one couldn't be cuter. Or hotter. Like Texas heat hot. And then some. Then add a shit ton of accidental feelings and a crap ton of fluff.
I mean, honestly. This is one of those series, where every single book you go "wow, holy shit, this one's the best one yet," and then, at the end of the next book, you think the same exact thing.
Trigger Warnings (should have probably added some to the first novel's review, by bad): homophobia, regional and occupational hate, internalized-homophobia, alcohol-abuse, drinking, etc
