Blog Tour, Review & Giveaway: Being Sawyer Knight by Nicola Haken

As lead singer and guitarist of the internationally renowned Souls of the Knight, Sawyer Knight is living a life most men can only dream of. He’s surrounded by music, fame, wealth, women throwing themselves at his feet. He has everything…

Yet he has nothing. Life as one of the world’s most sought after rock stars is tiring, oppressive and lonely. He spends every day being who the world wants him to be, who his manager tells him to be, who his mother expects him to be… all the while fighting against who he really is. Truth is, he’s used to it. He’s actually gotten pretty good at pretending… at living the lie. Until Jake Reed, his ex-best friend and the only person who’s ever made him ‘feel’, waltzes back into his life as the band’s new head of security. Jake wants Sawyer – always has, always will. Now, he just needs to get Sawyer to admit that he feels the same… “You will be mine, Sawyer Knight. The faster you try to run the quicker you’ll fall to your knees. Then, Sawyer… then you’ll be too weak to resist.”

This is my 4 star review for Being Sawyer Knight by Nicola Haken for Eskimo Princess Book Reviews.

Sawyer Knight is a rock star. He has everything he could ever want; money, fame, and great friends. He has everything going for him, but he has always felt like something was missing from his life. Jake Reed is a hot shot security buff. He is good at his job and everyone knows he is the best. When he is hired as Souls of the Knight’s new head of security he vows that not only will he protect his lost friend, Sawyer Knight, with his life, but he will win his heart in the process. Will Sawyer be able to get over his image for the price of love? Will Jake overstep his boundaries and scare Sawyer off?

I really enjoyed reading Sawyer and Jake’s story but I felt like there were a few things missing. I would have loved to see more non sexual interactions between Jake and Sawyer. Don’t get me wrong, the sex was hot and I loved it but I felt like the emotional connection that the guys seemed to have really had no backbone. Yes they were childhood friends but 10 years have passed since they have seen or spoken to one another. I believe that adding a little more romantic interaction between the two would have pushed this up to a 5 star for me. Oh and Did I mention that the sex was HOTTT!! I have read some steamy m/m scenes before but some of the scenes in this book made my kindle catch fire! The secondary characters were definitely something else. Matt, oh my goodness, that man needs his mouth washed, lol. If you are looking for a hot, sexy, male/male book, then this one is definitely one for you!

I have read and enjoyed Nicola’s entire book list and I will continue to read the books that she releases in the future!
