Double Full:
Up and coming football hero, Colt Michaels, makes a Hail Mary pass one night in the college locker room that results in the hottest, sexiest five days of his young life. However, interference after the play has him hiding his past and burying his future in the bottom of a bottle. While Colt seems to have it all, looks can be deceiving especially when you're trapped so far in a closet that you can't see your way out.
Jace Montgomery single-handily built the largest all-star cheerleading gym in the world, driven by a need to forget a life-altering encounter with a handsome quarterback a decade ago. When he learns some upsetting news about his ex-lover, his heart executes a barrel roll and his carefully placed resolve tumbles down without a mat to absorb the shock. Can his island escape help him to finally let go of the past and move his life forward?
Full Disclosure:
Deputy United States Marshal Mitch Knox apprehends fugitives for a living. His calm, cool, collected attitude and devastatingly handsome good looks earn him a well-deserved bad boy reputation, both in the field and out. While away on an assignment, he blows off some steam at a notorious Dallas nightclub. Solving the case that has plagued him for months takes a sudden backseat to finding out all there is to know about the gorgeous, shy blond sitting alone at the bar.
Texas State Trooper Cody Turner dreams of being a Texas Ranger, and he’s moving up the ranks, well on his way to making it happen. But for the next two-weeks, he’s on vacation, and his plans include relaxing and helping out on his family’s farm. The last distraction he needs is a tatted-up temptation who walks into the bar and steals his baseball cap.
As Mitch’s case gains nationwide attention, how will he convince the sexy state trooper that giving him a chance won’t jeopardize his life’s plan...especially when the evil he’s tracking brings the hate directly to his doorstep, threatening more than just their careers?
Full Domain:
Honor, integrity, and loyalty are how Deputy US Marshal Kreed Sinacola lives his life. A former SEAL now employed by the Special Operations Group of the US Marshal Service, Kreed spends most of his life working covert operations…and avoiding relationships. But his boundaries blur and his convictions are put to the test when he finally comes face-to-face with the hot computer geek he’s been partnered with.
Aaron Stuart strives for one thing: justice. Young and full of idealism, his highly sought after computer skills land him a position with the National Security Agency. Aaron’s biggest hazard at his job is cramped fingers, but all that changes when he’s drawn into the middle of a dangerous federal investigation. And his attraction to his new inked up, dark-haired partner provides another kind of threat altogether. While Aaron tries desperately to place a firewall around his heart and fight his developing feelings, one misstep on his part could ultimately destroy him.
The solution isn’t as easy as solving the case, which is treacherous enough as it is. But the growing sexual attraction between them threatens to derail more than just Kreed’s personal convictions as he quickly learns temptation and matters of the heart rarely fit easily into the rules he’s lived by. Will Kreed be able to convince Aaron to open his heart and face the fact that sometimes the answers aren’t always hidden in code?

4.5 Stars!
So I really do love this story. Colt and Jace are two of my favorite characters and no matter how many times I read this book, I still get emotional.
What I Love: No matter how frustrated I got with Colt, I couldn’t truly hate him for how he behaved. When it all came down to it, he was still young and scared and his actions were based on fear for not just himself but for Jace. His behavior afterwards as the years passed was awful, some of it abhorrent but it was very apparent how much pain he was in.
Down deep Colt was a good man. He was sweet and incredibly vulnerable but his love for Jace was immense. I loved how he was whenever he was with Jace. I felt my heart break every time he had to deal with his father and his Agent or the disgusting excuse for a fiancée. His pain was written so well I actually felt it.
Jace was great. I loved how we really got to see his growth from the very beginning (I kind of thought he forgave Colt a tad too quickly, though) until the very end. It was hard to not get caught up in his emotions as well but while my heart broke for Colt over and over again, I enjoyed seeing Jace had used it to become successful.
Together the men had great chemistry and were scorching hot. I loved how they seemed to really play off one another and in the end, it balanced well.
What I Liked: I liked that this story really showed two very different sides of the coin when it came to how life worked out for these two men who were forced apart. We have Colt, a NFL superstar leading a life he hadn’t had a hand in planning. Miserable, lonely, and a screwed-up drunk. Then we get Jace, controlled, guarded, successful and just as lonely.
**I really liked the bonus chapters/snippets at the end. I especially enjoyed getting a look at the various events we had been told happened in the last original chapter. My favorite was getting to see first hand how Jace got his gym/coaching off the ground. I only wish I could’ve seen whatever happened to Katie his first student.
What I Didn’t Like: while I loved the story I couldn’t help but notice how I felt like the story kind of rushed along. I realized it wasn’t necessarily the pace that was off but that a lot of the book falls under the category of “Telly” vs. “showy”. I wanted to truly see things as they happened which helps me to engage more. Instead, the story seemed more like we were being told rather than shown.
Overall, I enjoyed it and fell in love with Colt and Jace. I definitely recommend Double Full.

I remember how much I was looking forward to reading this one the first time. I loved the first book with Colt and Jace but I have to admit, there’s something special about Mitch Knox. And as for Cody, I couldn’t help it, I just fell absolutely in love with him.
What I Loved: We have Mitch, who is sexy, strong, and so darn protective. He truly surprised me with how sweet and caring he could be even while still personifying that tough Alpha type personality. Cody was sweeter and a little shy. He had a naïveté that you wouldn’t necessarily expect with his job. Yet, he was tough as well. Together they were hot and they had incredible chemistry.
What I Did Like: I really enjoyed some of the secondary characters we got to meet and I am anxious for their stories. Aaron and Kreed have totally pinged my radar and I’m excited to see their story unfold.
What I Didn’t Like: I was glad the story was a continuation of Colt and Jace’s case in Double Full since we weren’t given any resolution at the end of that book. However, again we get an open ending so now we need another book to get the conclusion and see how it’s all resolved (not that I mind another hot book in this series).
There were more than a few instances where I got frustrated and had to remind myself that this is fiction not real life. Not everything has to be completely believable, a little fun is okay.
Overall, after reading this a second time, I have to say I love Mitch even more. Some of the bonus chapters at the end were great because we got to see a different side of both men. I thought seeing Mitch with his family was awesome and I loved how Colt was really brought into the fold as if he were a member of the family as well. He and Mitch together are golden, in my opinion.

I am sad to say goodbye to this series, and these three couples. Double Full was my first ever Kindle Alexander book, and has remained one of my all-time favorite M/M books. Kindle picked the perfect couple to round out this series with. While Colt and Jace still hold the award for my favorite couple, I have loved all of these couples, and Kreed and Aaron were no exception. Kreed goes after what he wants, and he wants Aaron badly. He pushes, but Aaron pushes right back and gives as good as he gets. As a couple, they balance one another out. The sexual tension in this book was so thick you could cut it with a knife. I think I was just as relieved as the MC's when they finally had sex. Just like Kreed and Aaron I was frustrated and unsure of how much more I could take. But Kindle made it well worth my wait. Omg, the sex in this book was off the charts HOT, and plentiful. Some of the hottest scenes I have ever read. The chemistry and connection between these characters was amazing. They were both extremely likable characters, and this made it very easy to root for them to get their HEA.
The flow of the book moved a little slow in the beginning, but my attention never wavered. This book is long, but it's well packed with action, humor, romance, passion, smoking hot sex and most of all, love. I adored seeing these three couples together. OMG!! Colt, Mitch and Kreed in one room together will make your sides hurt from all the laughter.
What I loved most about this book, was Kindle did an amazing job at bringing us full circle. I'm not going to spoil it, but once you read it, I think you'll know what I mean and agree with me. I was also happy to see the authors' note at the end that these three couples will make appearances in future Kindle books. I love them and am glad I won't have to say goodbye for good!!
I loved this series and I’ve enjoyed getting the chance to reread them and I was especially excited for the new material. It was great getting some of those nagging questions answered!
Full Domain was an enjoyable story I couldn't put down!! Highly recommended!!

Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!
I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!
Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle.
I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.
That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.
Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.
Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.
