No Fear (No Shame Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 597 ratings

Confused puppy seeks owner…

Aaron is lost.
He’s lost his parents’ approval.
He’s lost his job.
He’s lost his sense of identity.

At least he’s out as gay, but all that has brought him is more confusion. He feels like a freak who doesn’t fit in anywhere. Even his own brother doesn’t want anything to do with him.

Sexy jiu jitsu teacher Blake makes Aaron feel things he’s never felt before. Things in his body. Things in his heart. Things he didn’t even know he craved, like being cared for, having decisions made for him.

Like being a
puppy.

But Blake doesn’t want a relationship, so how can he want Aaron?

No Fear
is a steamy gay romance with mild puppy play elements. It’s the third book in the No Shame Series that needs to be read in order. Please note the trigger warnings in the front of the book.

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.

    This series has fed my mind, hurt my heart, soothed my soul and burned up my Kindle!

    A+ on the cover because the model used for Blake is one of my favs! That aside, we get to know the jujitsu professor quite a bit more in this book. We also get some more insight to Aaron, Josh's brother, as he finds himself learning to be a gay man out for the first time. Blake takes Aaron in and starts training him. Their attraction simmers and grows to boiling throughout the story (and if you crave a little EXTRA with how their relationship develops, you definitely want to download the tasty bonus chapter). Aaron's dependency and need for a caregiver speak to Blake's naturally caring persona. And once they figure it out, it goes places!

    As has been the norm with this series, we get a HFN (Happy For Now) ending and are promised more in Book 4. Thankfully the wait for that is only a month after this drops. This book, and the others in the series, are NOT STAND ALONES. In order to get the entire story for each couple, you will need to read the first two. And their stories will continue into book 4.

    We also get some phenomenal story telling by Nora as we get deeper into the story of Indy, his past, and what he will need to sacrifice for his future. Noah has his own issues to deal with while Josh and Connor skirt the edges of legal to keep their foursome-ish family safe and healthy. I was very happy with the way Nora finished this book and part of Indy's story. If she had left us hanging at this point in the series, I think I would have freaked out a bit. This series, and in particular, this book, has made me recall that I love reading some high drama, action, suspense, police/fbi romances. Excited to see where that takes me too.

    There is a hint of more characters and stories to come. Super hyped about that, by the way.

    This is Blake and Aaron's book (with no spoilers). Aaron was introduced in a previous book and is Josh's brother. He's not a like-able character in the beginning. Blake sees something that other people don't and offers Aaron a way to redeem himself. Even though this book explores Blake and Aaron's relationship we see more of Josh & Connor and Noah & Indy. These characters are evolving and although each couple is separate they are all intertwined and codependent on each other. The series needs to be read from the beginning for a better understanding of the story. Very pleased at where this story and these men are going.

    Aaron (Josh's brother) is arrogant, self entitled & spoiled & also pretty clueless. He was used to having everything & now has nothing. He's staying with Indy's Brazilian jiu - jitsu Professor Blake Kent. Aaron needs to get his life together and find some direction for his life & Blake offers to help.

    I enjoyed watching Aaron begin to find himself with the help of Blake. I loved watching their relationship develop. They are so perfect for each other. Both giving the other what they need. So sweet, loving and sexy. Aaron still struggles with some issues but is trying to overcome them.

    It was great to see the relationships with Indy, Noah, Josh & Connor again. Indy still dealing with the threat of his past & keeping the others safe. Each of them making sacrifices for the safety of the others. I really felt the love & the connection between all of these men. The unique relationship between them all works perfectly for them.

    I was kept fully engage throughout the whole story, always wanting to know what happens next. I got more engrossed and drawn in as the story progressed & I just couldn't stop. I'm glad I started this on a Friday because I didn't stop till I'd finished at 3am!! (Yay for Saturday sleep ins..) It very well written with great story progression & characters you really care about. It has a great finish but I also really look forward to reading book 4 to see how the loose ends are tied up and follow on with the story of some of the secondary characters. I highly recommend this book & the series.

    No Fear, is book 3 in the No Shame series. I don't know how the author does it, but I thought book 2, No Limits, was her best. But then I read No Fear, and wow!! I'm floored with awe! It's written so beautifully, I love the characters and their depth. And their connection to each other. However, I would loved to see more interaction between Aaron and Josh at the end...maybe it was the author's intention to write it that way... I guess, or hope, I'll get my wish in the next book!

    “-You have to wonder,” Blake said kindly, “-if love that has strings attached, that requires you to be a certain way, is truly love.”

    We met Aaron in the previous book, and it was difficult to like his character. So lazy, arrogant and spoiled. I had trouble reading the beginning of No Fear, but it was all thanks to the mysterious Blake that keept me reading. And together with Blake, we discovered the truth behind Aaron! And I feel in love!! The relationship between Aaron and Blake is one of the sweetest I have ever "seen"!

    "-...Forget about the labels, honey. Wear what you love and what you feel beautiful in."

    No Fear is about,(as all of the previous books in this series) understanding, accepting and love!
    And best of all, we get to know what happens to Josh, Connor, Indy and Noah! Indy decides that he is tiered from running from his past, but this will come at an price.. is Indy willing to pay that price?
    Connor and Josh makes their own plans to help...will it work?

    These books are definitely not stand alone. Make sure you start at the beginning and clear your diary as once you start you won't be able to stop. The couples are amazing in their love for each other. And so many different relationships draw you in. All I can say is... Enjoy

    I never have enough of those guys and adding Aaron and Blake it's just like icing the cake. They have kept me awake, devouring every word, suffering (and loving) with them. I love the way you deliver us pieces (in books) of this great story. I can't wait for the next one! Amazing serie highly recommended !

    What’s not to love - a new couple but all our favaourite men still there. Nora draws us into Aaron and Blake’s story while still keeping the overall adventure moving forward. A rollercoaster of highs and lows but smiles, oohs and aahs on the way.

    I loved the introduction of Aaron into this series and it was great to see more of Blake too. I felt for both as they came together and found love. And how Indy’s story was finished was outstanding.
