Book Blurb: Two’s company, but three’s better endowed…

Weddings can be life changing. At the last one I photographed, I almost lost my life altogether — but despite scarring me in every way possible, it’s at least afforded me the compensation to live as I please.

Nowadays, that’s snapping pics of wildlife instead of bridezillas — but when my furry friends lead me onto a nearby ranch, I find myself on the wrong end of a shotgun. Turns out it’s Cole Washburn — newly retired A-list action star — and he doesn’t want anyone finding out just how close he is to Jason, his now live-in “bodyguard”…

Not that I’d ever out anyone. I know exactly how hard that decision is.

Speaking of hard, that’s exactly what things start to get as soon as I have a chance to explain myself to these mega hunks. Hard to open up to them, hard to walk away — and very hard to ignore what my body and heart are telling me.

After one very naked weekend, it’s safe to say there’s no going back — for any of us. The multiplication of possibilities is just too mind-blowing.

But one of us has a past that could take all of us down…and this time, there’ll be no second chances.

Holding On to a Hero is the first book in the Bent Oak, Texas series by Bix Barrow. It’s a super steamy, three-person POV, suspenseful MMM thriller/romance, infused with humor, heart…and a thrilling ending you’ll never see coming!

Book Review: Revenge, Anger, Lust, and attempted murder, just to name a few things that made me love this book. Barrow has the ability to bring a person’s feelings to the reader as if the reader were actually talking to the character in the book. Will, Cole, and Jason each have their weaknesses which make their lives difficult. More so since Cole is a public figure who just wants to be free of that persona.

When Will stumbles onto Cole’s home near a location he wants to photograph, he is suddenly aware that his life has become something new, something he never expected in his life. But why? He is a nothing, a nobody who is just trying to recover from the most traumatic experience in his life.

Looking down the business end of a rifle aimed at your face would make anyone run screaming. Not Will. He’s stronger, yet inside he’s more of a mess than he ever imagined.

Barrow brings the reader along as everything in these three lives blows up. He drags us along as their lives become tangled in each other and as their lives become threatened. A misunderstanding puts Will, Cole and Jason at odds with each other and the people who should be keeping them safe, helping them along, and protecting them. The ending of this book was a total surprise to me the reader. The mystery moved along at a fast pace only to stop suddenly when the last of many clues becomes unraveled.

If you enjoy mystery romance with heavy gay scenes, lots of angst, lots of surprises, and an ending that you never thought would happen, then read Holding On To A Hero by Bix Barrow
