Blog Tour and Review: Taggart Family Values by Lexi Blake @authorlexiblake
Taggart Family Values, compilation of previously released and a brand new novella from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake, is available now!
From Ian and Charlotte’s first meeting in Paris to a look into the future, Taggart Family Values chronicles Masters and Mercenaries’ favorite family through a series of short stories and novellas. Includes one brand new short story and one new novella. Lexi hopes readers will have a blast connecting with Ian and Charlotte and all their little monsters!
Taggart Family Values includes the novellas Paradise City, Sweet Child o’ Mine, Homecoming and Countdown. It also includes the short stories Adam Tells All, Make Lemonade, Rough Night and Stuck at the Office.
Some of the stories were previously published in newsletters and cookbooks.
Another outstanding and exceptionally written book by the
talented Lexi Blake. This highly entertaining compilation of short stories
(some brand new, others previously published) had me laughing at these
characters' ridiculously hilarious hi jinks and teary-eyed during the touching,
heartwarming emotional moments. Ian Taggart is without a doubt my favorite Alpha
Dom and the center of Lexi's literary universe. I completely adore him to bits
and will never get enough of this sexy, scary and often sardonic hero. Ian
quickly burrowed his way into my heart when first meeting his larger-than-life
character in The Dom Who Loved Me years ago. With each story, each
cameo, I fell deeper in love with the swoon-worthy and overly charismatic head
of the Taggart family. Here, we see snippets of Big Tag, his bride Charlie and
the loving family they amassed throughout the Masters and Mercenaries Series
- both blood and the everlasting bonds of true friendship. 5 brilliant stars
for Blake's Taggart Family Values.
Paradise City
"He’d been a gorgeous lion who
might eat her up,
and she’d thought he was sexy as
hell."
Previously published chapters via Blake's newsletter, it is
here we see how this seductive Dom found the beautiful love of his life.
Charlotte Dennis was a desperate woman with a plan, and Ian was her target -
little did he know this fiery and cunning submissive would be his perfect
match. Paradise City was a short, sexy yet sweet love story.
“I
know one thing in this world and that’s the fact that Ian Taggart knows how to
create a family. None of us would be here without you, you sarcastic asshole
brother of mine. So go and help your wife make our family a little bigger.” ~
Sean Taggart, Sweet Child o' Mine
Sweet Child o’ Mine, Homecoming, Make
Lemonade, Stuck at the Office, and Rough Night
Five comical stories of how the twins Kenzie and Kala and
their younger brothers Seth and Travis came into the world, as well as some of
their crazy antics. Feel good shorts of how Ian and Charlie dealt with the
challenges of parenthood while balancing family and their D/s coupley time.
These tales warmed my heart and made me hysterically laugh out loud.
"He’d been the bane of
intelligence agencies. He’d been Dr. Death, raining down justice and protecting
America. Now he was a dumbass with a mortgage, a dog who seemed to be a bit
constipated, two tiny chaotic things, and another on the way. No one even let
him kill people anymore."
Adam Tells All
Fans of the M&M series know all too well the love/hate
relationship between Adam and his sarcastic boss Ian. Finally, Adam believes he
has the upper hand (for once) when figuring out a secret Big Tag was keeping
and spills the beans to the McKay/Taggart clan. I love how these two Alphas
constantly tease each other.
Homecoming
By far, Homecoming was my favorite story in this
anthology. Poignant and emotional, we see how the Taggarts’ adopted daughter
Tasha was welcomed into the family. Charlie, Ian and all the kids immediately
embraced the daughter of their fallen colleague with open arms and hearts. An
absolutely moving novella, which brought tears to my eyes and touched my heart.
Countdown
No spoilers about this one - just that there was a time
jump, and it may be a possible future story. I am hoping that this thrilling
and intriguing plot continues!
As expected, I've enjoyed this read from beginning to end
and cannot wait for more wondrous adventures from Lexi Blake's creative and
genius mind.
