Big Talent, Huge Ego, and an Enormous… Everything.Josh- After years of hard work I finally landed my dream job as a musician with a major orchestra. When our new conductor with a name too hard to pronounce strutted on to the stage for the first time, he oozed a confident and cocky sex appeal that captivated me and every other person present. I was used to being the wallflower, the boy always … wallflower, the boy always picked last for the team. So when he demanded I meet him after work for a private rehearsal, I was shocked. Of course I went, only to discover my new conductor was a bit handsy, if you know what I mean. At first I thought I was reading too much into it, but the chemistry sparking between us was real. Serge was more than just my boss, he was a force of nature determined to make me his.
Serge- Don’t fall in love. Ever. That’s how I lived my life, until I met him. When I first laid eyes on Joshua, all I could think of was how much I wanted to hear his voice screaming my name while I… you get the picture. I was coming dangerously close to falling for him, which could destroy me and the paper-thin walls I’d built to keep the world at bay. On the outside, I appeared to have everything a man could want. A successful career that spanned the globe, and a face that appeared on the covers of magazines. On the inside, I had a secret that could destroy us both.
Trigger Warning: Scene involving suicide.
Mr. Mouthful is a red-hot read about a mercurial man who appears to have it all, but realizes he has nothing without the only man he loves by his side. It’s book three in The Boys of Oregon Hill Series and can be read as a stand-alone novel.

I love it when a story has music in it. I almost could hear the warm voice of the cello (one of my favorite instruments), piano and orchestra, the passion of experiences music.
Joshua is co-owner of a coffee shop and is a cellist who finally gets a job at the orchestra. He has dear friends, all couples, he is kind of lonely without a lover.
The conductor of the orchestra is the famous Sergei Mikhailovich Kuznetsov. He is stunning and you can find him on the cover of a magazine.
The attitude of Serge is forceful, the volatile stance impressive. When Josh gets the opportunity to work one-on-one with Serge, he is dazzled by this genius.
When they start to share their bed and almost all their time together Joshua can’t understand what the stunning Serge wants with him.
But beneath Serge’s attitude shelters a totally other personality. One with fear and despair.
Alternately showing past and present and the views of Serge and Josh we get to know the whole picture. What makes a fabulous conductor, who has on first sight everything, fear life.
An smoothly and pleasantly written story. It was sweeter than I expected. Some disturbing facts from the past makes this story intriguing. Both main characters were engaging and lovable. The sexual tension was palpable. The family, colleagues and friends and their contribution, completed this story.
An entertaining emotional story with some mean sharp edges. The title is quite funny and has in my opinion multiple meanings.
Joshua’s just opened up Percolate, his new coffee shop, and it’s going well. But, his real love is music, so when he’s offered a place in a major orchestra, he has to take it. Unfortunately, that new position comes with a new conductor, Mr. Mouthful, aka Sergei Kuznetsov. Serge is a seemingly hard, cold man with absolute perfectionist ideals, and Josh is terrified of him like everyone else is. He’s also extremely attracted to him, but that’s neither here nor there considering that Serge is so far out of Josh’s league it’s not even funny. Or so Josh thinks. But Serge has a story, a past, that Josh is unaware of, and it’s one that Josh will have to deal with if he wants to stick with the man he’s fallen in love with.
I loved Serge and Josh! They are so good together, and the way they fell in love, baggage and all, is perfect. Mr. Mouthful is both sweet and tender, and heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once. I will remember and love Josh and Serge and their story for a very long time.
Very enjoyable story with strong characters who are not always what they seem. I loved the way Josh’s influence helped Serge open up and become a more pleasant person toward others, and how he helped him find his strength to face the unknown, possible negative, future.. The sexual tension and chemistry was off the charts and the intimate scenes were hot and steamy. I really like all these characters. I would love to see Squeaky (aka the Matchmaker) find her match. Perhaps the right woman is out there?

What a man to take care of his responsibilities. Quietly with no fuss or fanfare. I think I fell in love with his gentleness with his mother. Break my heart with the fear and uncertainty but I loved how when he was ready for a relationship he was all in. Don’t miss this. It’s worth reading.

This is my favorite out of the three in this series. The emotions leap off the page and go straight to your heart. There are aspects to this story that are very relatable to the readers while they might not be exact. The strength of the fears though are spot on. What I especially liked was that we got to see some familiar characters and meet some new ones. Onnie is a trip. The bonds of friendship that Joshua has show just how strong they are with all the guys. I could see myself hanging with them and teasing as well as being supportive. Besides Sneaky needs another girl there and Suzi is too young. If you haven’t read this series yet you are missing out.
