Jude:
What do you do when you wake up with a hangover and find yourself in bed with your best friend's younger brother?
Who happens to be your new brother-in-law?
The man who drives you crazy.
The man who always skated by on fast-talk, good looks, and a bright smile.
The one who makes you want to break all the rules.
You hire him as your assistant, of course.
And pray you can keep your sanity.
And your hands off him.

Mason:
How do you prove you've changed?
That you're no longer the party-boy who always needed rescuing from his own mistakes—and boy you've made some big ones.
But no one needs to know your secrets.
You take a job with the one man who doesn't trust you.
Who's waiting for you to screw up.
You try and forget that one explosive night together.
Except you can't.
And to your shock...neither can he.

What do you do when the one man you can't imagine living with is the one you can't live without?

Felice Stevens always does her best to toss you a bone or two while she chews up the scenery and the psyches of her often totally screwed up men. In this one she returns to her Nice-Jewish-Boys-From-New-York trope although you don't get any idea that this one is going to be Kosher until well through the action. And it's really just an aside because what action it is!

Mr. Uptight (Jude on the cover, woof!) is so much his nickname from the way life has dealt him some overwhelming caretaker issues (which he has a tendency to take too seriously) that he cannot believe where he finds himself on page one.

Drunk on rum from the night before he doesn't remember how he put on a somewhat public display of sexual gratification at his sister's wedding. When he wakes up next to his co-star only to realize that the man is Mason, younger wastrel blond-bomber brother of his sister's new husband, who also happens to be Jude's business partner, he is horrified that he is in a slosh of in-law stew.

Oy-MG!

This book starts on another planet when it comes to how Ms. Stevens gets her men together--she then launches them on a shuttle around the universe, a journey which uncovers deeply introspective and sometimes too convenient but always page-turner situations and encounters.

Jude and Mason are a super annoying couple and that's what makes them so enjoyable. The supporting cast is brilliantly crafted and stubbornly incapable of staying out of the various messes the two men create. There are lots of hoots here.

This is one of Ms. Stevens' most carnal, and yet most gut-wrenching, books. It will take you a couple of minutes to get over the first few pages which, as it turns out, are so based on reality and not a stupid mistake, and when you recover, you will sail right through.

Loved it as always.

There were times when I got frustrated at both of these men and the way that neither one of them was being honest about their feelings. But you could also respect their history both personally and the interaction with each other. The road to a relationship was rocky and put to the test but I love that in the end they worked it out and were strong for it.
I listened to the audio version and enjoyed it very much.

How do I love Jude and Mason? Let me count the ways. From the start this captivated my attention and I did not, would not, could not put this one down. Best friend's brother, secret crush, one-night stand (or not so much), this one hit some of my favorite tropes off the bat. And that tag line? LOVE IT.

I loved how Jude, as buttoned-up (and yes, uptight) as he is, slowly opened up and learned to enjoy life the way one is meant to as he spent more and more time with the enthusiastic Mason, and in turn, he seemed to ground Mason, to give him the support he needed to realize his full potential. The two were so much fun together, and though they were hot (scorching), that was merely a bonus. I loved these characters, their story, and I wanted so much for Jude and Mason to find their happy, both individually and together. I was not disappointed. Their HEA was full of schmoop and fun and all the emotion I needed, and I smile whenever I think of them.

With a great storyline and amazing secondary characters (Edith is the BEST), this is easily my new favorite Felice Stevens book. This one goes into the "read, read, and read again a million times" pile.

The storyline was good and I liked the characters. But there was so much dialogue that was just the main characters spelling everything out for the reader... In long, overwrought monologue form. No one talks like that, and it was distracting and took me out of the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jude and Mason sizzle!
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021

Felice does it again with Mr. Uptight. Jude and Mason have chemistry and steam that absolutely sizzles on the page. Best Friend's Father/Brother is probably my second favorite trope (Daddy/Son is my absolute favorite) in the MM Romance genre, and Mr. Uptight hits ALL of my buttons. Jude is SO sexily frustrating. I sincerely wanted to smack him a few times and just shake him by the shoulders to tell him to loosen up already! When he finally allows himself to just be with Mason, the beauty of his truly loving heart is finally visible. Felice doesn't make it easy for Jude and Mason, and there are SO MANY mixed messages that both of them send to each other (Jude isn't entirely guilty here), but as always, her boys always get their happy ending. READ THIS BOOK!

This is definitely different from her usual work, but I liked that it was different. Usually by the end, the two main characters are on the same path towards love and popping the question, while getting down on one knee. This one certainly left you guessing and kept you on your toes.

Jude and Mason have some issues they need to confront before they can find their HEA together. The road towards getting to their destination of happiness is sexy, sweet, and owning the wrongs, then making them right. Their story was good. Real good. The narrator did a great job. I so recommend. Enjoy!

If you love a romance with enemies to lovers, a free spirited man and one with trust issues this is the book for you. It is the story of Two men searching in their own way for love. It is steamy with a touch of angst and a realization that opposites do attract. Highly recommend!

Though it's a love story which is joyful, it is also about finding oneself. With his sister's wedding, Jude is lost on who he is other than a big brother. Carefree and fun, Mason sees and shows him who he really is.

Another winner from Felice Stevens which captivated me from the first page, Jude waking up hungover and in bed with Mason his best friends younger brother at the wedding of said best friend and Jude’s baby sister! This book covered lots of tropes the enemies to lovers being one of them as when Mason left 10 years ago they couldn’t stand each other although they secretly crushed on each other, then the boss and employee when Mason starts work as Jude’s assistant. Mason is all sunshine and smiles and Jude is emotionally stunted and grumpy. There were lots of obstacles for them to overcome to achieve their HEA including a jealous co-worker who tries to ruin Mason’s job and romance and a family misfortune.

This is a brother’s best friend/boss to lovers story.

Mason and Jude’s siblings get married. At the wedding Mason and Jude get a little drunk and hook up.

Jude is best friends with Mason’s brother and the best friends own an advertising agency together.

Mason ends up being Jude’s assistant and their relationship develops from there.

I won’t spoil it for you but I will say Jude being all alpha boss in the office was hot.

Kale Williams once again nailed the narration - simply the best!

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Story
Reviewed in Canada on March 28, 2021

An enjoyable read, lots of angst, but also lots sexy love. Jude had to grow up at a very young and and look after his little sister as their Mother slowly faded away, he never really lived a proper life and as such grew into a deeply serious and lonely man. I just loved Mason, for all his disastrous past shenanigans he's grown into a confident, caring young man, if only Jude could see that and forget the rebel he remembers. Right from the very first mention of his name I just knew Pryce was trouble, but I guess it was fairly obvious. I found in the second half the dialogue between Mason and Jude rambled on a bit, constantly talking over their feelings, but not enough to put me off the storyline at all.
