Jase Keller took life one day at a time. As a deputy sheriff, his schedule fluctuated weekly and he never knew when he’d be home. But when his grandmother needed his help, he didn’t hesitate in stepping up. After all, she had done that very thing when his own mother had abandoned him as an infant. Caring for his grandmother was one thing, but taking on her unwieldy Great Dane, Moose, was another … another thing entirely.
Ezra Howell was through with men. The good ones were taken, and the available ones treated him like crud. He was working on getting his life in order when Deputy Delicious suddenly showed up at the clinic with Ms. Jo’s sick dog. Ezra has his suspicions and can’t get over the idea that Jase is to blame.
The attraction is there, but they’re as opposite as night and day. Can they move past their differences and accept their mutual desire?
Accepting My Desire is the eighth book in the Sulfur Springs series. This is a Men of Crooked Bend spin-off and takes you off of the ranch and into the lives of those in Sulfur Springs. While each book will focus on a different couple, you should read them in order for the most enjoyment. Each book contains sexually explicit material between two men and is intended for adults over 18.

Jase and Ezra were an I retesting pair. They started off rocky and Ezra having a really bad opinion of Jase but as the story wore on, Jase eventually had Ezra falling in love with him. This is part of a series and while considered a stand alone, I recommend reading the others in this series as I was a bit lost at times. This was a happily for now ending which is perfect because it was a happy ending.
**********Contains Spoilers**********
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the connection between Jase and Ezra, once Ezra finally got over his hate for Jase when he thought Jase was mistreating his Great Dane puppy Moose, because Moose had to be operated on when he destroyed Jase’s house by escaping his grate and chewing through his garage door. So Moose ended up getting internal bleeding from the wood he’d chewed up. The he saw Jase and Moose at K-9 Dog Training with Daniel and Moose was well behaved then he asked about the collar, Jase told him that it was a shock collar and Ezra let him have it and then left, without letting Jase explain that it doesn’t hurt Moose, he checked on himself first and it was at the suggestion on Daniel and Xander, Moose’s vet to even try the collar in the first place. When Ezra gets back to work, Xander lets him have it and explains the whole situation and that Moose is perfectly fine and that Jase loves him. Jase decides to take matters into his own hands to try and win Ezra over and to get him to change his opinion of him so he sends him flowers and other gifts. I love Jase’s name for Ezra, Bluebell it’s cute. Man Moose is a wee cutie but he definitely lives up to the name of Distructo. I love how much Jase and Ezra love and support their Gma & Grammie, it’s really cute. I love how Gma got Moose for Jase so he could meet and get to know Ezra as she thought that they’d be perfect together. Got to love meddling grandparents. I’d definitely recommend this book, series and author to everyone.
Ezra the one character that has been a constant that has made me smile each and every time that he is in a book. Well he is finally getting his chance at a HEA. But, will his bad luck when it comes to finding a someone that will see him finally come to an end? What kind of guy will be the one that steals the heart of the flamboyant Ezra? Well this was our chance of finding out.
Jase was just someone that didn’t really leave enough time in his life to find someone. He worked and took care of his grandmother, that was the gist of his life. Then when his grandmother is having to move into an assisted living home after breaking her hip, and Jase was then the proud new owner of a great dane puppy that didn’t know right from wrong. It was during an emergency that his new puppy caused that he came face to face with the man that will take over his brain, Ezra. But, Ezra will not give him the time of day. All that Ezra sees when he looks at Jase is a bad dog owner that could of stopped his dog from almost dying. It was this misunderstanding that made it almost so that these two didn’t even have a chance. But, it was Jase wanting to make sure that Ezra knew that he was someone that he wanted in his life that made it so that they were able to at least make it over one of the many humps in their life.
I will say that this was the perfect final couple for this series. I loved seeing some of the other couples/characters from some of the previous books. And I loved how they each had a little way of giving the push for these two to take a chance on each other. Now I cannot wait, but yet dread the final book in this series to be released. But, I know that Rylan will heal our broken hearts with a new series.
Loved it
Jase is accepting of himself and his life. Then there’s Ezra. Ezra who seems to be constantly searching for something. Jase meets the young man at the vet where he takes his new Great Dane puppy (courtesy of Grandma) who hoovered up practically his entire house. For some reason Ezra takes a giant dislike to the gorgeous Sheriff’s Deputy. Will Jase ever get Ezra to see him the way he sees Ezra?
This is a lovely tale. I adored Jase and his energetic, destructive Great Dane. Ezra was harder for me to connect to at first, but he eventually redeemed himself. All in all, a sweet story.
Finally Ezra gets a story! I love the dynamic between the two where they are standoffish at first, but as they start to get to know each other they both start to realize that they need the other! I also think Moose is adorable in the book too! This book was really fun to read and I love being back at Sulfur Springs!
*Received an ARC!
I loved Accepting My Desire. Ezra and Jase were both such sweet men with a little unpredictability thrown in. I loved how similar they are and their meet-cute was great. Moose was definitely a great secondary character who added a lot to their story. It was fast-paced with a slow build romance and hot smexy times. I totally recommend this book.
I absolutely loved this latest book in the Sulfur Spring Series!!! A series of misunderstandings kept Ezra and Jace from getting to know each other. Ezra thought the absolute worse about Jace. As they start to get to know each other, Ezra begins to realize that he was so wrong about Jace. Jace is smitten with Ezra and doesn’t understand how he gave Ezra the wrong message but he really likes him and is willing to show him that he can be the man he needs and is truly a good guy with good intentions. The more they get to know each other, the more the attraction burns up and neither of them can deny the feelings that they stir with each other. It was such an amazing story and I was hooked from beginning to end. I laughed, swooned, and teared up at some parts. It was a truly great story and one that I would recommend to all. I can’t wait for the next book from this talented author. Well done!!!!
I’ve been hooked on this series since the first book and have not been disappointed. And I was so happy to finally get to read Pinky’s story, aka Ezra..aka Blue Bell, lol. Jase (Deputy Delicious) and Ezra have a rocky start but their attraction to each other could not be denied. And their road to HEA was filled with laughter, some sadness (not too much though), steam, sweetness, and love. And Moose is great
I have got to say at the start, that I always loved the Sulfur Springs series and looked forward to each of the stories. I couldnt wait for Ezra to find his HEA!
The characters in this book were really great and I liked the quirks and characteristics of both Ezra and his Deputy.
That being said, I must say that the story line felt a bit disjointed to me. Whereas some of the previous books had a main theme the plot revolved around, I struggled to find it here and felt more like reading snippets from the story, without a general shape or form. It was still a pleasant read and a feel good story, but fell flat compared to previous parts in my opinion.
