AotM: Zack's Mulligan by Ann Lister (Review+Giveaway)



Zac’s Mulligan

Guarding The Gods: Book One

By Ann Lister

BLURB

Zac Mulligan is a former Marine now providing personal security for the infamous rock band, Black Ice. Seeing all the guys around him in committed relationships reminds him of his childhood best friend . . . the only person Zac has never managed to get out of his head or his heart.
Ben Holland is an artist. Falling deeply in love with his best friend in his teens, Ben is left alone when Zac leaves him for the military. Ben heads off to college and lives his life “out and proud” as a gay man and creates a brand name for himself with his artwork. Throughout all the years that pass, Ben never forgets his childhood friend, Zac, or the feelings they once shared.
Zac realizes a decade is too long for Ben not to have a presence in his life and finds Ben living on Cape Cod where they spent their summers as kids. Meeting each other as adults stirs up a lot of memories for both of them.
Zac is looking for a mulligan, a “do over,” with his childhood best friend. The question is: Can Ben find a way to put aside his old hurts and fully open his heart to Zac for a second time? Or maybe the past is something better left buried on the beach where it all began.

5 Stars!!!


Zac and Ben had been friends since they were young children. They had always been inseparable, joined at the hip. As they grew older the feelings changed, became deeper and much more than friendship, but at 18, Zac leaves for the Marines without even saying goodbye. Something he has always regretted. Now he's back after 10 years to try to make things right between him and Ben. Is it too late?

The worst part about starting a book by Ann Lister, is it'll end. You want to get to the conclusion, but you also want to read the story slowly to savor each word, because you know you'll have to wait close to a year before the next one is released. Ann always makes them well worth the wait though, and Zac's Mulligan was no exception. As with all of her MC's, Zac and Ben share an undeniable chemistry almost from their first on page scene together. This story was a slow burn, and you could cut the sexual tension between Zac and Ben with a knife. I kept waiting for that first kiss. I felt we'd never get there, but once we did... well, holy hotness, it was electric.

I loved the storyline. We've seen the Rock Gods on tour before, but it was really eye opening to see all that goes into guarding our beloved Gods. Ann gives us a backstage pass to the security system and how it all works. It was great to get to revisit the guys from both Black Ice and Ivory Tower. This is a new series, but it's a spinoff from the Rock Gods series. The RG's, especially Linc and Aaron play a huge role in this story, but Ann gives you enough information that it can definitely be read as a standalone, but why would you want to do that!? You'd be missing out on so much if you don't catch the Rock Gods series.

This story was packed with heartbreak, emotion, sweetness, romance, smoking hot sex, but most of all love and friendship. There were even some twists I never saw coming. Highly recommended!!

    I kinds of depends on what type of spin off it will be and if it would be just a spinoff series for one character or one that revolves around all the characters.

    Congrats on AotM. I've enjoyed the several posts, and I don't think this was addressed. I know you've said music is your passion, so it shows in terms of how you write about it. But what have you found to be the most difficult aspect to write about? And how do you handle that? - Purple Reader,
