Jon has yearned for a man’s touch for as long as he can remember.
Now two younger men are about to bring his fantasies to life.
Jon Walters is a mess.
He’s thirty-eight. His roommates are eighteen and twenty. It’s never gonna work. But Lord, he wants it to.
He’s spent years hiding his sexuality. Denying his desires. Guys don’t come out at my age – do they? Except he did come out once – and went right back in again. How does he explain all this to Del, his brother? That’s a conversation Jon is dreading. Del is the only family Jon has left, and he’s going to be hurt. Angry. Not to mention, there are secrets Jon does not want to share.
And then there’s Chaz and Kendis. Wasn’t falling for one guy enough of a challenge? I had to fall for both of them? And what the hell do they see in me? Because they’re not making it easy for him to say no.
Whichever way he looks at it, Jon’s life just went way beyond It’s Complicated…

This is the final book in the Southern Boys trilogy, and it deals with characters introduced in book #2, Pride & Protection. Yes, you could read it as a standalone, but reading the previous book is recommended.

I love this series so much!
Desire & Denial is the third book in the Southern Boys series. While it can be read as a standalone, you will better understand the characters if you read book two first. The whole series is so good that I really recommend reading all three books in order for best enjoyment.
Jon is the older man in this MMM story and he is deep in the closet; his older gay brother doesn’t even know that Jon is also gay. Jon, 38, took Chaz, 18, into his home after he was beaten and thrown out of his house for being gay. They also work together at the bike shop that Jon co-owns with his brother Del.
Chaz has been flirting with Jon, which drives Jon crazy but Chaz doesn’t know that. Chaz has been crushing on Jon but he knows nothing will ever come of it because Jon is straight. When Kendis, 20, comes to the bike shop hoping to get some advice from Del about looking for work, Jon becomes determined to help him find work.
If that sounds complicated, it is for a bit. Chaz and Kendis, being of a similar age, form a friendship that quickly turns into more. At first they don’t tell each other that they find Jon attractive. They eventually suspect that Jon isn’t a straight as they both thought and kind of set a trap for him and then things really take off.
This is one hot story with two very horny young virgins and one older virgin who gets lured into their web and never wants to get out. I think the chemistry between Jon, Chaz and Kendis is off the charts. Jon has a lot to think about because he’s been keeping secrets and he knows that coming out of the closet won’t be easy – especially to his brother whom he should have told a long time ago.
Chaz, Kendis and Jon get a HFN but it’s one that left me feeling confident that their relationship will last. I’m really sorry to see this series come to an end but K.C. Wells promises that we haven’t heard the last of the characters in these stories and I’m looking forward to whatever else she writes for them.

O Factor: Scorcher
Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C. WELLS always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way. K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, when the purchase of a ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wings—writing about men in love was even hotter….
K.C. now writes full-time and is loving every minute of her new career. The laptop still has no idea of what hit it… it only knows that it wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea that where K.C goes, it goes.
And as for those men in love that she writes about? The list of stories just waiting to be written is getting longer… and longer….
