Made Marian Shorts Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,746 ratings

The Marians aren’t the only ones finding their happy ever after! In this collection of four short stories, some of our beloved secondary characters from the Made Marian series steal the show and find a love of their own. These stories range from 7k to 10k words and feature plenty of laughs, Marian cameos, and love. A suggested reading order can be found in the Look Inside, but you do not need to have read any other Made Marian novel to enjoy these stories. Please be aware that two of these stories can also be found in the Made Marian Collection bundle.

Brad's Story:When Brad opens his Vegas hotel room door to find a hot police officer waiting on the other side, he assumes crazy Aunt Tilly has sent him a strip-o-gram. But instead of getting naked, Detective Gorgeous pulls out his cuffs. Turns out, the badge and uniform aren't just props, this cop is the real deal.

Beck's Story:After touring around the world, sleeping with fans after sold-out concerts, Beck is still unsatisfied in the bedroom. Men, women, men and women? He doesn't know quite what he's looking for when he enters an exclusive club to find some company for the night. But two sexy strangers begin dancing with him at the same time, and Beck finally begins to realize that it might not be variety he's after, but just the right set of lips whispering sexy words into his ear.

Keller's Story:After telling Tilly to back off her attempt at setting him up, Keller catches sight of the nude model for the old lady's art class. Did he speak too soon? Meanwhile, stand-in model Eli is regretting his decision to strip down for a group of senior citizens, but then meets the manager of the vineyard and realizes being naked might not be so bad after all. Especially when things get wet... like really very wet... with hoses.

Josh's Story:After moving from Denali, Alaska, to San Francisco in order to branch out, Josh hosts a big poker night for the Marians and his co-workers at the National Park Service. Little does he know, his own true love may not be someone new after all. Eight years ago, Cyrus Dimakos had to leave the love of his life to take care of his great-grandmother on a remote island in Greece. A family obligation may have kept Cyrus's body away from Josh all this time, but his heart never left him. Could it be that The One That Got Away is finally back for good?

    4 stars!! 💕 Loved these short novellas featuring some of the side characters from the Made Marian series.
    Brad (from Borrowing Blue: the twink Blue's ex had brought with him to attend the wedding) was a very likable guy even in BB and therefore his encounter with the cop, Miles was super satisfying because they had crazy chemistry and a very funny story with the three stooges (Tilly, Granny and Irene) in Las Vegas. 😄
    Keller (also from Borrowing Blue: Tristan's operations manager at the vineyard who had had feelings for Tristan at one time) was a little less known and not that likable in BB.., but in this story he totally redeems himself by falling head over heels for Eli, a model hired by Tilly and her friends to paint. Eli is lovable and sassy enough to entice Keller into doing all sorts of naughty things in the middle of the night.. 😉
    Josh (from Taming Ted and Marian Christmas was known as the dorky and boring Park Ranger guy who had had a crush on Jamie in TT) His love-story was the best one of this anthology where he reunites with his long-lost childhood love Cyrus. It is both tender and heartbreaking to witness his reaction when he sees Cyrus after 8 years and how they finally get back together. The epilogue to this one is simply perfect. 😍
    Beck (from Jumping Jude had not really made a significant impact except that he was quite promiscuous in JJ) His story was a let-down in the sense that we don't really find out anything about either Beck or Quinn (besides the fact that Quinn is from the Wilde family) since they meet at an exclusive club and just jump into bed and a lustfully-ever-after....meh.. 😐
    But to summarize, these shorts were still highly enjoyable and gave closure to a lot of these side-stories. It was also great to see some of the MM stars make in an appearance in a few of them. 🤩.

    It's no secret I absolutely adore anything written by Lucy Lennox. And while I certainly love the Forever Wilde series, and the Twist of Fate series collaboration with Sloane Kennedy, The Made Marian series will forever hold a place of highest standing in my heart. If you've read any of the stories in the Made Marian series, and enjoyed them, then you'll love these short stories about some of the side characters. If you've never read anything by Lucy Lennox **gasp** then these shorts are a perfect introduction providing you with a nice range of samples into the writing style and what you can expect from the fuller novels. These shorts aren't super short but they're of course not full complex stories. They're perfectly snack sized for when you're craving a little something to get you through a short window of free reading time in between life things or you're just looking to satisfy your Lucy Lennox sweet tooth in-between releases. There's fun, sweetness, sexy-times, and story. Definitely worth adding to your library :)

    I really enjoyed the Marian/Wilde stories, love Tilly, Grampa, and Doc. I was kind of disappointed with the Beck and Quinn story. I realize they were short stories, but leaving off with that ending just ruined the whole story. It felt like it was a cliffhanger. That story has so much potential.

    Each of the four short stories are written in dual first person POV and each contain a couple of M/M sexy scenes. Some are funnier than others but all are quick HEAs. Apparently these can be read as standalones but they’re better if you’ve read through at least Mav’s book. Prior to each short story is a brief description as to which book one of the characters appeared in, which is helpful if you haven’t read the books in a while. I do have to say that I no longer have a desire to read Hay’s novella after reading Josh’s short story.

    I love the Made Marian world! In this collection of shorts, the crazy Marian clan is ever- present. Tilly, Granny & Irene are there in all their foul- mouthed, unfiltered glory. We finally learn why Josh was crushing on Jamie. Follow Brad, Beck, Keller & Josh as they find their HEA. This book is a joyous romp of instant attraction, lost love, hot sex, & meddling little old ladies. You will laugh. You will need to keep your fan handy. You will blush. You will love this book!
    This book can be read as a stand-alone; but I recommend reading the Made Marian series as well. The books these characters were introduced in are listed before each story.
    This book contains adult themes and language, mm sex and is intended for mature readers only.
