Being “wrong” has never felt so right!


Felix McAvoy is having an identity crisis. No longer the bad boy of art college, he’s now employed as a human billboard, roaming the centre of Bath dressed as a Roman soldier while attempting to fight off his nicotine cravings. It’s a comedown for the former conceptual artist, although there are compensations to the costume. The skirt, for one…


While Felix hasn’t made a secret of his desire to wear women’s clothing, he’s never dared try it until now. He’s always been worried once he goes down that road, he won’t want to come back, and the prospect of cross-dressing 24/7 terrifies him. Of course, he can’t tell that to Andrew, who’s now busy making Felix a slutty red dress.


Andrew Wheeler loves coming home to Felix and their cosy city centre flat. He just wishes Felix would let him know what’s bothering him. And maybe then, Andrew could confide what he really wants. Felix might not see him as anything other than a top, but Andrew’s yearning to switch things up.


Living together is one thing. Actually plucking up the courage to talk about their secret desires is going to be a whole other—and excruciatingly embarrassing—kettle of fish.


Excerpt – NSFW!


Felix pulled on the skirt and stared into the mirror. Okay, that wasn’t as bad as he’d been expecting. The burgundy faux leather that Andrew had tutted over last night felt cool against his legs, and the way it draped over his crotch was… interesting. Felix gave an experimental twirl, watching in the mirror as the heavy fabric flared out ever so slightly. Ooh, that was weird. But good weird. Probably. Yeah, definitely.


Suited him too. With his pale skin and dark hair, Felix always looked good in strong colours. And the skirt would totally go with his cherry red Doc Martens. Shame they weren’t part of his new uniform.


Felix cocked his hip and pouted.


“Mmm, looking good,” came Andrew’s voice from behind him.


Felix whirled around. Andrew’s sleep-rumpled blond head was poking up from under the thin cotton sheet. “Oh my God, I thought you were asleep.” He’d woken up extra early what with it being the first day at his new job as a human billboard, but he’d taken extra care to keep quiet while showering and getting dressed so Andrew could enjoy his lie-in. “Sorry. Was I making too much noise?”


“I just couldn’t sleep properly. It’s so hot in here.”


“Yeah, even with the window open. Bloody seagulls woke me up. Noisy bastards.” Felix walked over to the window and threw the curtain back. He stared out over the Bath rooftops. The view from their new attic flat was amazing, which kind of made up for the noise and the heat. And best of all, the central location meant he only had to wake up about half an hour before starting work. Thinking of which… He could hear Andrew getting up behind him. Why would anyone voluntarily get out of bed on their day off? “I should go and make a cuppa,” Felix grumbled.


Andrew’s hands landed on his waist, and then the whole hot length of him was pressed up against Felix’s back. Talk about morning glory! Felix could feel that monster trying to burrow its way up and under the pleather. He’d already managed to persuade his own hard-on to give up, but he could feel it rousing again. He wiggled his bum and Andrew thrust against him.


So good! “Uhh, not fair. I have to get ready.”


“I’ll help you.”


“I’d be quicker on my own.”


Andrew’s voice rumbled against Felix’s neck as he nibbled on the sensitive spot just under his ear.


Mmm, that always got him going. Sneaky bastard. “Yes, but it’ll be more fun this way.”


The protest on Felix’s lips died as Andrew ran his hands up under the skirt.


“I like this easy access,” Andrew said, grabbing hold of Felix’s dick. “Hmm, so does somebody else by the feel of it.”


Felix thrust into Andrew’s hand. “It feels weird, though.”


“Weird how?”


Andrew sounded genuinely interested, so Felix did his best to explain the half-formed thoughts and feelings swirling around inside him. “Weird in a way that makes me kind of worried. I don’t know, like I might like it too much? And you know, it’s kind of feminine. More than a kilt, anyway. People might laugh at me.”


“I think once you’ve got the rest of the costume on you’ll be fine. It won’t look feminine when you’re kitted out like a Roman soldier. And besides, it’s not that girly a skirt. It’s got pockets. Womenswear hardly ever has pockets. The girls at college complain about it all the time.”


Andrew should know all about that kind of thing seeing as how he was on a fashion design course, but that wasn’t quite what Felix had been getting at. Mind you, he still wasn’t entirely sure he understood what he was feeling, so he gave up trying to explain. Instead he wiggled his arse some more. “Think we’ve got time for a quickie?”

Tailor Made, book 1 in the Tailor Made series, was delightful! 

Art student Felix McAvoy, needs Andrew's help to finish his last work as a university student, with which he hopes to also get the attention of his tutor, on whom he's been crushing for years and he's willing to do just about anything to get Andrew to aid him.

Andrew is reticent to help Felix, but he also needs a model for his end of the year project. What starts as helping each other out, soon turns into something more when Andrew is unable to resist the temptation that Felix poses with his mere presence. But do they have what it takes to make things work between them? And what would happen if Felix's tutor suddenly takes interest in him?

I adored Felix and Andrew! Felix was a bit of a tart and had quite the reputation, and Andrew was the sensible and conscientious one. Despite Felix being older, Andrew seemed more mature than him, but they were just perfect for one another and had great chemistry, which made some very hot scenes as Felix introduces virginal Andrew to the joy of sex. 

All in all, Tailor Made was fast-paced, interesting, sweet and well-written. A perfect start to the series! 

Rating 4.5 Stars!!!

Custom Made starts a few weeks after Tailor Made ends, Felix and Andrew are living together now and despite loving each other, things aren't going all that great. Andrew, the more sensible of the two, is trying to plan ahead, save for their rent and all they might need and Felix doesn't particularly care about those things, which is a point of contention between them. 

It doesn't help that they're working long hours and don't see each other as much as they like and neither does Felix discovery that he might be into wearing women's clothing or Andrew's fear that his fear of bottoming might make Felix go after someone that actually puts out for him, both facts they refuse to share with the other. 

I liked this glimpse into Felix and Andrew's life, it felt realistic and poignant for the most part, and I absolutely loved the little twist in the end and how well everything worked out for them. I loved the progression as Felix began to acknowledge his desire to use some women's clothing and his fear about what it all meant, too. Andrew was lovely, too. And really, while it took them a little bit to actually work things out due to their fear of messing their relationship, they both were willing to work on it and compromise, which I adored. 

It was a great sequel, a bit angstier than the first installment, but equally sweet as we see the boys navigate through the hurdles life throws at them. Very recommendable!

Rating: 4 Stars!!!
