A sexy new M/M romance from New York Times Bestselling author Tessa BaileyWhen CEO Renner Bastion walks into a room, everyone keeps their distance. Well, everyone but the sarcastic, tattooed, Boston-bred security guard whose presence has kept Renner in New Jersey longer than intended. As if the unwanted attraction isn’t unsettling enough, Renner finds out his protector isn’t as unavailable as … unavailable as originally thought.
Milo Bautista just came out to his wealthy, ultra-confident boss, a man he secretly respects and admires…in more ways than he’ll admit. Worldly, experienced Renner would never look in his direction, let alone share some of that confidence he wears like a cloak, so Milo has set his sights on someone else to be his first.
Until Renner offers him private lessons in seduction…

Tessa’s first M/M book does not disappoint!!
I loved this book. Sexy characters, witty dialog, and a great happily ever after story.
Oh. My. God. If you are a Teddy Hamilton fan, and you like MM, do yourself a favor and check out this book!! This is one of the sexiest audios I have listened to. Dirty talk, oh Teddy does a Boston accent and when he says bossman I die all the deaths….Loved, loved, loved this one!
I abso-fucking-lutely enjoyed this book, so much that I read it all in one sitting, I just had to know what happened next!
Wow, Tessa did an amazing job for her first m/m romance. I went into the story blind and it was totally unexpected from the characters background which made it more interesting to me. This series was great and the ending was cute.
This story is about two stubborn, headstrong men who both won’t take no for an answer. They end up slowly falling in love in between arguments, hard looks and bitching, without even realizing it. How do you fall in love with a man determined to push anyone away and who refuse to do anything other in his life than work? Well, you can ask Milo. The man who refuses to not take care of the headstrong man who doesn’t want to accept him as a part of his life.
Throughout this entire book, Milo and Renner kept testing, pushing and pulling at each other, never giving up but never wanting it to stop too. Even though you would normally end up hating a man like Renner you just can’t (or I can’t). He is made to look cold, uncaring and a huge jackass. But he can’t hide his heart from me, I could feel his soft spot, see him caring all the time. He was an amazing person under his hard shell and I just knew the man under it all was worth all the hard work Milo put in.
I was cheering on these two from the beginning, the sexual tensions run high between them. The confusion on how to handle it from both men is sometimes a little annoying, maybe a little frustrating and almost painful to be a bystander too, just watching their inner fight and wanting to talk some sense into them. But I never gave up on my hope for them, I could feel the pull between them from the beginning and just knew they would make it.
So are you in the mood for a book with a bossing alpha man and a sweet but stubborn man in it. With some steamy scene’s. Then this is your book.
Wound Tight cannot possibly be Tessa Bailey’s first foray into the MM genre! Renner and Milo’s story is all at once sexy, realistic and even sweet. Renner is the CEO of a company that owns a factory in Hook, NJ and Milo is the security guard who has taken it upon himself to secure more than just the factory. He has decided it’s also his job to take care of Renner. Renner doesn’t quite know what to think of Milo’s care, except that it gets under his skin far more than he wants to admit. Milo gets under his skin far more than he wants to admit. When Milo comes to him with a deal: he’ll help Renner learn how to relax so his heart condition isn’t exacerbated, and in turn Renner teaches him how to be confident enough to let Milo’s crush know he likes him. The boss man, as Milo likes to call Renner, is completely taken aback. He had absolutely no idea the sweet, sexy guy he’d been secretly lusting after was gay, and when he finds out…
What ends up happening is inevitable, the two of them explode and the sparks are exciting and sexy and beautiful. Milo and Renner are so different, but perfect together. Milo is sweet and endearing, wears his huge heart on his sleeve and is wrapped up in an inked up, muscular bad boy package. Renner is sophisticated, domineering and at turns hot and cold, with steel walls around his heart. On paper, they couldn’t be more wrong for each other, but in reality, they mesh in all the best ways. Milo’s sweet, caring nature mellows the chains Renner has always held around his heart and control. He gets Renner in a way that no one ever has before. Renner, in turn, gives Milo the confidence to own his sexuality, and overcome his insecurity about his less than wealthy background. I absolutely love these two together, and only wish more were coming about them.
Let me start by saying that M/M is not my genre of preference. Then Tessa Bailey mentioned she was wrapping her Made in Jersey series with Milo and Renner.
The queen of dirty talk writing her first M/M romance? This I need to read.
How did she do? Hello!! Excellent!!
Even if m/m is not your genre of preference, like me, you will LOVE Milo and Renner. This is so much more than a love story. It’s about two people coming to terms with who they are. Two people who are so obviously opposite, they make it work. They balance one another without even trying.
Wound Tight is also the final story to a series I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I loved these characters, it was nice to see how everything came together. I will miss Hook, NJ.
Do I recommend this book? Yes. But start it from the beginning. You will appreciate how these characters come together even more
