When you’re on the run from the mob, the last thing you should do is fall in love…

Indy’s become an expert at surviving.
He’s survived being a mobster’s lover.
He’s survived a brutal attack on his life.
He’s survived being on the run, on his own, his heart firmly closed.
After all, who could want him?

Until he meets former army medic Noah and his friends-with-benefits Josh.

Noah and Josh take him into their home after Indy gets hurt, and he discovers they’re as broken and damaged as he is. Indy finds himself opening up to them, first with his body, then with his heart.

But how can he stay when his very presence endangers them? His ex will stop at nothing to find him...

No Filter is a steamy gay romance featuring a complicated but beautiful polyamorous relationship (no cheating!) that ends on a cliffhanger. The story continues in No Limits, the second book in the No Shame Series. Please note the trigger warnings in the front of the book.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"It got under my skin and made me keep reading, even if at times I was a bit fearful to. I am hooked and can't wait for Josh and Connor's story to unfold along with where Indy and Noah go." (Love Bytes Reviews)

"To say that I loved this book is an understatement. The story just completely sucked me in and left me hanging on every word. I turned pages so fast that I thought I'd break the kindle. I had no idea this was a debut novel for this author. She definitely showed her strength in writing this absolutely beautiful book." (Bookalicious Babes Blog)

"This is a really sweet story, aside from all of the horrible things that have happened to each of the men. They have what seems like a complicated relationship, but it is exactly what they each need, when they need it, and it all becomes very clear as the story moves on. I'm definitely looking forward to continuing with this and seeing Josh find his own someone." (The Blogger Girls)"I predict many rereads in the future." (Bottled in Denmark)

Would you like the long or the short version of my bio?

The short? You got it.

I write steamy gay romance books and I love it. I also love reading books. Books are everything.

How was that?

A little more detail? Gotcha.

I started writing my first stories when I was a teen…on a freaking typewriter. I still have these, and they’re adorably romantic. And bad, haha. Fear of failing kept me from following my dream to become a romance author, so you can imagine how proud and ecstatic I am that I finally overcame my fears and self doubt and did it. I adore my genre because I love writing and reading about flawed, strong men who are just a tad broken..but find their happy ever after anyway.

My favorite books to read are pretty much all MM/gay romances as long as they have a happy end. Kink is a plus… Aside from that, I also read a lot of nonfiction and not just books on writing. Popular psychology is a favorite topic of mine and so are self help and sociology.

Hobbies? Ain’t nobody got time for that. Just kidding. I love traveling, spending time near the ocean, and hiking. But I love books more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning story of strength, love and honesty! Highly recommend!!

Wow this story hurt my heart and renewed my belief in love! The author has a lovely way with using her words to create just the right depth and touch in each encounter. She builds great characters and crafts scenes that leave you looking forward to more. i was hooked from chapter 1 and read the book in one sitting.

Indy and Noah become connected in a way that leads to that once in a lifetime love match. The friendship that Noah and Josh have is so beautiful and complicated! Their honesty and strength is stunning! A strong thread throughout this story is honesty and i loved seeing emotions being dealt with so productively.

I love the relationship that develops between Josh and Indy, two damaged souls bonding and sharing a deep understanding. They definitely help each other learn to trust and heal.

i am looking forward to seeing the friendship between the three of them continue to develop and grow stronger. The love between Indy and Noah is so authentic and their honesty is encouraging.

i am looking forward to book 2 and i am hoping for more of Conner and maybe a soul deep love for Josh.

4.0 out of 5 stars Honest and Raw
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2017

Honest and raw, this series is starting with the promise of friendships and love. No Filter is book one of four in the No Shame Series. This is the first fiction book published by Nora. And if it wasn’t obvious from the book cover & synopsis, it is MM. With a hint of MMM and it is mmm, mmm hot! I read this in one sitting with a few breaks for food and mom stuff. It was that intriguing.

Indy is on the run. Due to an unfortunate wrong place, wrong time situation, he ends up staying with Josh and Noah to recuperate from his injuries. While discovering the depth of love and friendship that Josh and Noah share, Indy slowly allows himself to be included in their cocoon of safety. Secrets are shared. Bonds are formed and strengthened.

And while we don’t get the full ending of Indy and Noah’s romance, the cliffhanger is more like gliding off the edge of the cliff to another one not that far away. So yes, there will be more, but the story has a solid closing and you don’t feel like you are left hanging.

For a first-time fiction book, the writing is solid. A few parts of the story seemed to jump from one perspective the other within the next paragraph, but, believe it or not, it works for this story. This isn’t your hearts and flowers romance. It is emotional, full of angst and the characters are flawed and even broken. The romance comes from sharing those flaws, accepting them and loving each other despite or even because of them.

I have already pre-ordered book 2 (No Limits), which is coming just a month after this one. And I believe books 3 and 4 are a month each after that. I am a totally series junkie and love that I will not have to wait too long to read all of this one.

No Filter is the first book in Nora Phoenix's No Shame Series. This is not the end of their story,it continues on in book two.

In No Filter we are introduced to Indy, Noah and Josh and get to see how they get to know each other. Each of these men are beautiful but broken in some way. Indy on the run from demons from his past,, and a real danger that may attack st any time. Josh and Noah carrying the physical and emotional scars of military service. Together they share their bodies and their hearts.

The story is definitely steamy. Its a polyamorous relationship, and the men are trying to figure out their feelings and their roles... there is angst, drama, sexytimes and some sweet moments between them. These are complex characters with complex issues... the story is done beautifully. There is some dark subject matter covered in this story, it is not a mushy kind of love... it's dark, it's hard, its raw... and it's perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1st book in a series.
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2017

This is the story of 3 men, Indy, Noah and Josh. Indy crashes into the lives of Noah and Josh because of a robbery. Indy kinda saves Josh and gets hurt in the process. When he's taken to the hospital he is treated by Noah.
The men take Indy in because he has nowhere to go. He discovers that the two men are in a relationship that is not clearly defined because Noah sees himself as straight.
This is a story of three men navigating their way through a relationship, each one trying to find their place with the other. Not really a ménage but they are all together.
I liked how each man got what he needed most from the other two without judgement. There were misunderstandings, but over all the story moved along nicely.
I don't usually care to read spoilers so I won't leave any. I'll just say give this new author a try, can't wait for the next book in the series
The men that needed to be together were, without the other being left behind.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2017
Verified Purchase
I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. I the beginning I didn't like Indy, I almost didn't like him enough that I almost stopped reading the book. Luckily the author was quick enough to turn things around and I suddenly liked Indy a lot.
The major thing to give me mixed feelings is that I'm the sort of person who likes maybe a couple of sex scenes thrown in with a good story, and this book is 95% sex and 5% story. When they aren't having sex they are talking about sex.
Part of me does want to find out what happens next, but part of me is still so mad about the end of this book that I'm not sure yet if I'm going to download the next one.
Warning, the rest of my review will contain spoilers because I just have to get it out about why the end makes me mad.
First of all, I'm not fond of ménage romances, this book is on the boarder line of not being one, but just barely, and when Indy and Noah finally become a couple Noah wants to still have sex with Josh but doesn't want Indy to have sex with Josh. It made me very angry at Noah, and then angry at Indy for being okay with that.
Also, there were so many unresolved issues, and I'm only mildly mad about that because it's hinted in the next book's preview that the unresolved issues will carry over into the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars Plus... Fantastic book
Reviewed in Australia on November 11, 2017

Wow I was blown away with book for a first time for the author its fantastic. I couldn't put this book down from start to finish. The characters dynamics of all three are amazing how they relate to each other. Josh and Noah had been friends but school life and then the Army had been tough. The addition of Indy to this scenario things heat up. The three of them each have their problems which brings them together. This book is highly recommended I loved it. It has a angst level that comes from their internal battles from their past. By the 80% mark I had tears as the story started its whined up..
Indy is running and hiding from a nasty mobster, now a new location he was making do with things even having broken arm.
While grabbing food, the stores being robbed and Indy tries to save a guy from being shot..
Joshua suffers from PTSD and in the middle of the robbery he has an attack, Indy helps by planting a kiss on him. Aww Josh has dimples.. Josh hits head badly needing hospital he meets Noah, needing care of a bad concussion he needs a place to stay. Both Josh and Noah were ex Army servicemen living together both with there ghosts of the past to bare.
A definite recommended read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovable Broken Men, But There is an Ugly Moment.
Reviewed in Australia on September 19, 2018

OMG I just want to hug all three of the main characters. Noah, Indy and Josh are the sorts of brilliant characters I adore, they are so very, very broken and the reveal of their backstories broke my heart. Their problems stem from varying things. But regret guilt and pain are all in there. As well as physical and psychological trauma.

I like Nora Phoenix's writing style given her men. Their background and histories don't make for polite language. They are crass there is a lot of swearing and it's perfect. She also plays on something that is shown a lot. When romance novels play with dom/sub dynamic it is usually only done in terms of BDSM, Ms Phoenix shows a bottom (who I think is capable of swinging) and a submissive without any of the major BDSM cliches attached there is pain but not to the extreme. It's a nice change.

It is worth noting that No Filter (clever title given Indy's mouth) is book one in the No Shame series and directly tied to No Limits, book two creating more of a duology. A pattern continued with books three and four.

Originally this was a 4.5 star book but a scene drops the rating to a 4 star. [Spoiler Time: rape between lovers. Dom/sub couple switch roles. Dominant partner refuses to allow his submissive partners stop. It's an ugly scene anyway but given characters and context it's even worse. And it's largely glossed over the author almost doesn't seem to understand the implication of the actions.] I've already started reading book two because I like these characters, I like the world and this set up allows for continuation and happiness. I'm looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.
