Everything changed for Dorian and Augustine the night an assassin made a terrible mistake. As the two men navigate the aftermath, they can’t deny their developing feelings, but a relationship isn’t in the cards. Broken-hearted, they both move on with their lives, believing they’ll never see each other again.
Then the unthinkable happens.
Three years later, their wives become friends and can’t wait to introduce each other to their husbands.
This is the first book that I have read from this author and I fell completely in love. I wasn’t able to put this book down until I had finished the entire thing from the beginning to end. I’m excited to read more of this authors works in the near future. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

This is the first book I have read from this author and wow my mind was blown away. I love a good unique romance story but this book exceeded all my expectations. I was hooked right away and I couldn’t stop until the end. It only took my a few hours to devour this epic story. I can’t wait to see what this author will write next.

Dorian and Augustine met after an accident that brought them together. They helped each other out after the accident which made them become close. Dorian and Augustine started to get real feelings for eachother but they both had a relationship already so they decided to part ways. It is now three years later Dorian and Augustine meet again. They find out that their wives are good friends now. They are both shocked when they are reintroduced to each other once again. Will they follow their hearts this time or is too late?

This was such a great intense romance book. I truly had a hard time putting it down. The author did a great job with the thought process of the storyline, plot, characters etc. As soon as I read the first chapter it had my attention. This book was about how love can be found in unexpected ways. I highly recommend this book.

Dorian is an assassin with a spotless reputation until one night in Miami it all goes wrong, when a stranger walks in front of him as he is just about to take the kill shot, Dorian’s world is plunged into turmoil.

Augustine is in the wrong place at the wrong time and when he is wounded by a stray bullet he wonders how this could have happened, but when the hospital assigns a Physical Therapy trainer to him he starts questioning everything in his life.

I have read some of Naomi’s paranormal books and they are thrilling and sends to magical worlds and realms, so I was a little surprise to read a contemporary Romance book from her. That being said it was still full of the brilliant writing and the story draw you in, the characters are charming and the writing shows the vulnerability of the male characters. I am trying not to give too much away because this is a truly great love story.

Reading this book you will go through the emotions with all the characters and I am glad that you got to find out about all the characters not just Augustine and Dorian. Thank you for a truly brilliant, well written read.

The Husbands

What an introduction from a new to me author. I was intrigued by the description and decided to give it a try and I’m not regretting my decision.

You think the book is heading one way and it then takes a turn which I loved. Augustine and Dorian’s lives are changed in a split second and they have no idea the impact for quite some time.

This is definitely not like a book I have read before and I enjoyed that more than I expected to. Hope I get a chance to read more in the future.

5/5 Stars

The Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The Husbands was a great read. The author has great writing skill. So far I can’t choose a favorite for the author.

Augustine was shot in the arm and lost use of it. Now he’s suffering and making everyone else suffer. He doesn’t mean to take it out on his wife. Then he runs into an old friend. The quote I chose for Augustine is: “I’d have slept longer, but the food lured me awake. What do you have planned for the day?”

Dorian takes odd jobs now and again. He really can’t rest until he knows someone is alright. Will he ever be able to do that? The quote I chose for Dorian is: “Successful. Did you do anything interesting while I was gone, besides turn our house into a Halloween playground?”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Dorian and Augustine are both in Hawaii for their respective jobs when their paths cross. As they are dealing with aftermath of the mistake that has brought them together, they are forced to face their growing feelings for each other. With each of them being married, they decide to part ways.

Years later, after both have moved for their original states, their wives become friends. As they are keeping their feelings hidden while their wives become close, it is only a matter of time before their secrets start to come out. And as they do, there is not telling who will end up hurt. Is there a way for it all to work out?

This was a quick read that I found to be quite interesting. It really focused on the feelings between Dorian and Augustine…and there are a lot. Love, fear, angst, guilt…all those feelings are there. But, once they are all acted upon, will they be hurting others around them? Or continue hurting themselves by keeping them hidden? I found myself emotionally attached to their situation and felt the pain as all the secrets started to unravel. Overall, a good story that I enjoyed reading!

The Husbands
By: Naomi Valkyrie

This book was not my usual fare. It delved into topics that I don’t necessarily avoid, but that I don’t go out of my way to seek out. Lately, I have been expanding what I am trying to read and boy am I glad that I did. This book is such a great blend of genres – it touches on the job of assassins, then it goes deep into romance and then touches into polyamory. I truly enjoyed this book because I definitely didn’t know what to expect so I had an empty mind. I truly enjoyed how this book really explored how one untruth can cause a massive ripple effect. This wasn’t the main focus of the book, but I saw how it really resonated throughout. Because of Dorian’s original lie the entire book had many twists and turns and many others were impacted. I love how there was a real reaction to the men and their indiscretion – if you can even call that it. It wasn’t a blow up, but rather it is what I would view as a real reaction – a request for space and time. I definitely recommend this book, especially for those who want a change of pace and a book that is guaranteed not to disappoint.

It felt like it had been far too long since I had read a new book by this author so I was beyond excited to get my hands on this one. I knew from experience to set aside enough time to read this book in one sitting because I wouldn’t be able to put it down, which is exactly what happened! I loved the characters in this book. Dorian and Augustine were absolutely perfect together. They made the book so interesting.
The overall premise of the book was fantastic as well. It was well written, exciting and just what I was looking for when I picked up this book. This author really has become one of my favourites and I cannot wait to read even more of her work.

This was an enjoyable and engaging MM romance which had me hooked from start to finish. The intriguing storyline and wonderful characters, in this fairly short read, made this a book that I had trouble putting down. Dorian and Augustine are brought together one night by an assassin who made a terrible mistake. As the men struggle in the aftermath, they begin to develop feelings for each other, however, they are both happily married and so decide to stay away from one another. Although they are both broken hearted they are determined to move on with their lives, after all they will never see each other again.
Wrong, three years later and Dorian and Augustine are shocked when their wives become friends and the men are introduced. Of course they can’t acknowledge what they mean to each other, but they also can’t deny their feelings and now that they are in each other’s lives again, thanks to their wives, it’s even more difficult to ignore their connection. The descriptive narrative brought both the setting and characters vividly to life, and made me feel immersed in the story. I was kept happily turning the pages wondering how it was going to end, no spoilers, but I definitely recommend reading this page turner of a book.

This is a really good contemporary romance from an author who is new to me. This author usually writes paranormal romance so this was a first for them too, a new genre/trope. For a first go at writing something new and different, I can honestly say that the author has done a really good job and would do well to write more in this genre in addition to their usual.
Dorian and Augustine are brought together as a result of an assassination attempt gone wrong. While helping Augustine to recover, a strong attachment is forged between the two men, however, both men are happily married to beautiful wives that they adore. So what do they do with the growing attraction they have to each other?
To answer that question here would result in giving spoilers which I am not going to do. I wouldn’t want to spoil this story for another reader. I would encourage them to give this book a try and find the answer for themselves. In doing so you will find a well written story that flows well and keeps you engaged throughout.
I would recommend this book.

I absolutely love when books branch out from such a singular, heteronormative style. It’s fantastic to read books that are inclusive. My only complaint with this book was that it was too short!! I’d love to revisit the romances; this would be a great book to create a series! It was a quick entertaining foray into a romance oft not found in novels. Loved it.

The Husbands is an exciting and unconventional romance. I have enjoyed other books by the author – predominantly fantasy – so it was interesting to read her work in a different genre.
I particularly enjoyed that it’s very much a bisexual romance. Dorian and Augustine falling for each other doesn’t negate their feelings for their wives. I also enjoyed how much the story is driven by Magnolia and Aubrielle’s friendship!
Dorian and Augustine’s complicated history, as well as the secrets they are keeping from each other, add layers of interest to the story. Can they find a way to make things work, or would they have been better off never seeing each other again as they’d originally planned?
This is a great read, it gets five stars from me! If you’ve enjoyed other books by this author do give it a try – I enjoy the diverse queer relationships in her books and this story gives you that! And I’d recommend it to fans of LGBT+ romance.

First, I must say I love this author! Everything I’ve read from them I’ve enjoyed. Although this wasn’t the usual genre that they write, I decided to give it a read just because of who wrote it. I was not disappointed.

The book starts off 3 years in the past. Dorian is in Hawaii for a job. When the job goes wrong, he ends up accidentally hurting Augustine. Feeling guilty, he keeps close by to make sure Augustine is fine. As time goes on, they start to develop feelings. Both men are happily married to their wives and realize that they should go their separate ways before a line is crossed.

Three years later, Augustine and his wife moved to a new town. Little did they know that Dorian also lived in this town. Augustine and Dorian’s wives meet and become fast friends causing the two men to enter back into each other’s lives.

As much as they try to avoid each other, old feelings start to creep back in. The men try to be friends for the sake of their wives.

This was a cute little romance book with a HEA. Even though it is a short read, it is still so emotionally detailed that it sucks you right in. Totally recommend reading this and anything else this author wrote.

Super quick contemporary romance read!

Augustine and Dorian are both married to wonderful women. When Dorian accidentally injured Augustine on assignment his guilt leads him to be in Augustine’s life where immediate attraction happens.

The premise of this story had sooo much potential for me. It just felt a tad rushed with some lacking detail to the emotions to pull you into the story.

This wasn’t my cup of tea but I do recommend it if this is your type of read

This book was not exactly what I expected. I found the premise very interesting. I loved Dorian’s job and how accepting his wife was. It is great to see that kind of support from a partner. I also thought that Augustine thought to seek counseling and asked his wife to go with him was important. This view of family is important and should be represented in popular media. I hope to read more from this author soon.

While completing an assignment, Dorian accidentally injuries another person. Wanting to ensure that the other person is okay, he disguised himself as a physical therapist to check on the man named Augustine. From the first meeting, Dorian has an attraction to the other man but tries to ignore the feeling mostly because he is married and tells himself that is it because he misses his wife.

The more time they spend together, the growing their feelings become.

The title and premise is what caught my attention. I don’t read a lot of M x M stories because to me, it can be difficult to find good ones. This story was short but it had an emotional impact on me. In a way I feel it was beautifully written and I was curious on how the story would play out. On how Augustine would react if he ever found out the truth about Dorian and how they met.

I really enjoyed reading this story.

I have to say this book isn’t my usual genre to read but I thought I would give it a go as I’m familiar with the author and have enjoyed her previous work and I have to say this is probably one of my favourite stories from her. The connection between the characters was just amazing, so genuine and real. I could honestly feel the characters emotions pouring off the pages. I could feel the genuine angst they were feeling about what was happening and the way they thought about other involved in the situation as well.
It was beautifully written and explored and explained a different type of relationship really well. A definite must read!

This was a really good book! This author usually writes paranormal fiction, so this was a surprise getting a contemporary book instead. I really enjoyed having this one set in a non-paramormal type setting! It was a fast paced novel, in a way that not a lot of details were missed out on. This author usually doesn’t disappoint and this book was no exception! I would love to see more books like this on the future!

This is the second book by Naomi Valkyrie that I have read and once again really enjoyed her writing. It is a short story but doesn’t leave you feeling like you needed more. The characters are so easy to get attached to and it’s so realistic. I love how it’s an uncommonly talked about romance. Definitely a must read.

Dorian and Augustine meet completely by chance when an assassin mistakenly makes one of them his unintended target. In the aftermath the two men try to work through what happened and unintentionally develop strong feelings for one another. Both Dorian and Augustine are happily married so they deny their attraction and decide they should part ways. Both men feel it is best if they never see each other again or they risk losing their wives and everything they have worked for.

Three years go by and both Dorian and Augustine have moved forward in their lives. Things are going great until both Dorian and Augustine’s wives meet each other by pure chance and become best friends. Their wives are anxious for their husbands to meet one another so that they can spend time together doing activities as a group. When Dorian and Augustine meet up again the attraction is as strong as ever and they must make a difficult decision that could forever alter the course of all of their lives.

I love everything by this author so naturally I picked this book up to read as well. I must say that it is a different genre than the others I have read by her. This was a bit of a romance with a different twist that I have not read about before. I found this book superbly written and could not put it down. The characters were relatable and lovable, and I found myself rooting for everything to work out for Dorian and Augustine. I also wanted their wives to be happy and for everything to work out for them as well. There was some tense moments, laughs, fun, suspense, and tears throughout the book that left me reading to the end and until I learned what became of both couples. Another amazing story by this super talented author!

The best parts of this book are that it touches upon controversial romance, it has so much quality writing compressed into a quick read, and the lovable characters, for sure. This author really has a knack for keeping the reader flipping the pages eager for answers to all of their unanswered questions. It was difficult to decide who to side with throughout the story, but I’m content with the outcomes, without giving too much away. Great read!

This is the second book that I’ve read by this author. Her books are easy to read page turners. This particular book was packed with romance, action, and bravery. It does focus on polyamory and friendship. Love comes in all forms and this book shows that no matter what form your love takes we all deal with similar situations and that love is beautiful. Definitely a good read.

This is the second book I have read by this author and I continue to enjoy her style of writing and voice. I love how well she draws you into the story and creates characters that aren’t easily forgotten. Dorian and Augustine along with their gorgeous wives, Aubrielle and Magnolia, are vivid and well written characters that you immediately fall in love with. This story is full of action, excitement, drama, humor and HEA. The author does an amazing job of making you empathize with the characters given the truly tough emotional situation they find themselves in. She pulls at your heartstrings and has you rooting for everyone to get their happily ever after. I loved how she set up the beginning and gave us an epilogue so we know how things end. A quick and fantastic read!

5 Stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is truly one of my favorite authors and I absolutely hands down LOVED this book so much. This is more of a contemporary romance, which is a different spin than what I am used to reading from this author, but also just as fabulous!!

What happens when something so unexpected that may turn out as a possible disaster lead to a spark of love? While in Hawaii for a job, Dorian has it all planned to do his job and head on home to his wife. When the job does not go as originally planned that leads him to meet Augustine. When Dorian and Augustine get to know each other, the sizzle between them is off the charts…but end up abruptly leaving Hawaii. Years later, upon a random chance, both Dorian and Augustine’s wives meet each other, then this goes to both Dorian and Augustine meeting each other again. Lots of laughs, get togethers, ideas and such that both couples become very friends. When a job puts everyone in danger that Dorian is working…this leads to a snowball of events. Will the couples survive and will there be any chance at romance?

It is hard not to give any spoilers …….I could talk about this book forever…..this is a definite must read in my eyes! Danger, romance, spark……….this story flowed so easily and hard to put down. Thank you Ms. Naomi Valkyrie for another fabulous story!

An accident propels Dorian into Augustine’s life where an immediate attraction grows but both men know it can’t happen. They are both very happily married and have so much to lose if they give into their attraction. 3 years pass and their paths cross again, neither has forgotten the other or lost their feelings towards one another. Secrets, lies and love create an emotional path that they must follow in order to see if happiness is possible. This talented author created a very intriguing storyline and wonderful characters that any reader will grow attached too, you just won’t able able to help yourself.

Wow that is not at all what I was expecting but man what a ride. This author knocked it out of the park with this Contemporary Romance. It may be a short story but it’s packed with emotions, drama, heartbreak and so much more. I’ve become a fan of this author and her Paranormal stories and I love how her stories flow and always makes you feel as if you are right there with them. This is a story about Augustine and Dorian. These two meet because of an accident in which Dorian feels guilty that it happened. What they didn’t know was they would be torn apart and broken hearted. Three years later their wives introduce their husbands to one another but they already know each other. What does fate have in store for these two? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Great MM/polyamory read. A hired gun? That’s was a fun aspect, I was looking forward to seeing where that was going to lead. The way in which Augustine and Dorian meet is insane but I love the fact that Dorian was set on doing what he could for Augustine after the huge mistake he makes. I love, love. And watching Dorian and Augstine figure out their relationship with each other let alone their wives, was messy and beautiful. The ending had me smiling, and the romance isn’t raunchy just sweet. Both of their wives, Magnolia and Aubrielle get along so well that it just all works for them as a family. Loved it!
