The Bates, Gareth, and Cashel Duet is Complete! – Learning to Run Now Available!

Posted on by Shaw

My funny and slightly dramatic cuties are back. Bates, Gareth, and Cashel are back in their last book, Learning to Run.

They’ve figured out more questions that need to be answered, including why Jude is such a pain in the butt, but they’re having so much fun discovering who they are, Gareth has mostly stopped pouting about how long the list is getting.

I love these guys. I love how Gareth has his own way of seeing the world and his relationships with Cash and Bates. I love how Cash worries and has to take care of everyone. I love how Bates thinks they’re adorable.

And I love that apartment complex to bits.

Learning to Walk and Learning to Run are now live and this duet is the complete story for these three, but I’ve got ideas for some of the rest of the fun guys in the apartments. We’ve still got to see who was singing from the earlier books, and we need to figure out who the helpful cutie was who didn’t mind butting in on the relationship between Bates, Gareth, and Cashel.

Learning to Run by MA Innes - Gay Romance Book CoverBlurb:

“How do you know if you’re a hostage?”

Bates
His boys ask the most interesting questions, but Bates wouldn’t have it any other way. They’re fabulously curious and wonderfully unique, and they’re quickly becoming the center of his world even though they haven’t technically known each other very long. But there are definitely more important things than time when it comes to falling in love.

Gareth
It isn’t his fault that life is weird and he has a growing list of questions, but thankfully, he has the best boyfriends he could’ve ever dreamed up because his list just keeps getting longer and longer. But Gareth knows questions are good and the answers are always fun, especially when some end with tails and playtime.

Cashel
How Gareth’s questions led to his own switchy crisis, Cashel still can’t quite figure out, but it just seems to be what happens when he’s surrounded by crazy on all sides. And the insanity is contagious because Jude’s acting even stranger and now Brady is asking his own growing list of the weirdest questions ever.

When a nosy neighbor falls for two curious cuties, it will take some kinky exploration and a bit of hostage negotiations to bring this family together forever.

Author’s Note: This is a continuation of the story for Gareth, Cashel, and Bates from Learning to Walk. This is not a standalone.

Happy Doms are The Best Ones – Learning to Walk Now Available!

Posted on by Shaw

I’m so excited for you to finally get to know Gareth and Cashel (the roommates from Save Me Santa). They’re so funny and I’ve had so much fun seeing life from Gareth’s point of view. It’s easier now to see why he’s driving Jude batty, but I can also see why Cashel and Bates are head over heels for the confused cutie.

Learning to Walk is the first book in the duet for Gareth, Cashel, and Bates (the fun downstairs neighbor). Learning to Run will be the second book for them. It will go live on September 15th but Walk ends on a happy for now ending with no cliffhanger.

Learning to Walk starts with you getting a look at how Bates sees the curious roommates and you get to see how much he loves their apartment building. He’s wonderfully and unapologetically nosy, and Gareth loves how happy he is.

Gareth thinks happy Doms are the best ones and he’s not afraid to say it.

Of course, Cashel thinks they’re both insane, but he’s going along for the ride because he likes happy Doms too…and he’s very interested in why the happy Dom thinks all three men should explore dating and domination together.

These three are adorable and I can’t wait for you to get a peek at Gareth’s wonderful logic. There are good reasons why he and Brady get along so well, but Gareth still finds Brady to be very confusing sometimes.

But don’t worry…Bates likes being helpful.

Have fun with Learning to Walk (and I’ll give you a little tease about Learning to Run…Brady’s mom makes an appearance so you won’t want to miss it).

Learning to Walk by MA Innes - Gay Romance Book CoverBlurb:

Eavesdropping is only bad if I’m not being helpful with the information I’ve acquired.

Bates loves being helpful, and since being nosy makes it easier to be helpful, well, no one can complain about that logic. Especially not the cuties upstairs who have the most interesting family and the most wonderful questions.

It’s not eavesdropping if we’re too loud, right?

Gareth isn’t concerned about how much his handsome neighbor has overheard about their life. He’s more focused on getting his questions answered and about the way the fascinating guy from downstairs thinks he should be dating his best friend Cash…and the guy from downstairs.

Maybe eavesdropping wasn’t so bad?

Cashel isn’t sure what’s happening when the tornado of a neighbor bursts into their life, but he knows nothing will ever be the same. Especially not when it ends up with him on a date with Gareth and Bates. He doesn’t do that…any of it…but it sounds like maybe the neighbor knows him better than he knows himself.

When a nosy neighbor decides to help two curious men, questions finally get answers and nothing will ever be the same.

Author’s Note: This is an MMM romance with a Dom, a surprised switch, and a very curious sub, and while they have a lot of fun in this book, some fun (like homeruns and wagging tails) will have to wait until book two (if you get my drift).
While this duet is part of the Education of the Heart series, these are the roommates from Save Me Santa. It’s not technically necessary to have read the other books, however, I think Learning to Walk and Learning to Run will be more enjoyable if you’ve already read Brady’s story, Save Me Santa.

My Nosiest Character Yet! – Pre-Order Learning to Walk and Learning to Run Now!

Posted on by Shaw

Do you remember Brady’s roommates from Save Me Santa? Gareth and Cashel who were a bit confused about everything? Yep, they’re back and getting their own book. Learning to Walk goes live on August 25th and is now on preorder.

I had so many fun questions about these guys, but when I started writing the book, I could answer about five percent of them. I had no idea if they’d been together before or what they were looking for or what was going on in general. Basically, all I knew was that Gareth was really confused about spankings and what Brady saw in Jude, and Cashel wasn’t sure what was going on.

That’s when Bates stepped in.

He’s really curious and jumps right in to offer to help them figure things out. He absolutely loves all the crazy people living in the building and he’s the nosiest character I’ve ever written. He’d probably drive everyone crazy if he weren’t so cute and so well-meaning.

After he overhears Brady talking about the roommates and their questions, Bates decided the only neighborly thing to do is to go up and offer his conversational skills and his knowledge about spanking. Everyone needs such a helpful neighbor.

I can’t wait to show you how funny they all are in such different ways and for you to see their chemistry. It’s not technically slow burn (depending on how you define that) but their story is going to be spread out over two books, so don’t expect every first to happen in book one. They’re doing things at their own pace and I’m just following along and telling you about their adventure.

They’re at a good place at the end of book one, but Gareth still has some questions to work out and Cashel has some fantasies to confess, so they definitely needed a second book. But I’m not going to leave you waiting for book two. Learning to Run comes out on September 15th and is also on preorder now.

I can’t wait to show you how funny they all are as Bates helps answer all their questions and gives them a push in the romantic direction.

Learning to Walk by MA Innes - Gay Romance Book CoverBlurb:

Gareth: Weirdest neighbor ever…but he has an addicting smile and he was helpful in explaining Brady’s…well, Brady’s love of interesting things.

Cashel: Craziest way to ever be asked out on a date…but Gareth is happy and the nosy neighbor is nice…and a good kisser.

Bates: Best first date ever…and the best apartment building ever.

Everyone sees meeting a potential date for the first time a little differently.

Someone might walk away from a first meeting confused about names and wondering how they ended up with a date.

Someone else might walk away appreciating an offer for a bit of naughty help.

Another might end up loving life and hoping that the two cuties upstairs are just as adorable on a date as they are when he’s eavesdropping.

However, there are a few things everyone can agree on…their neighbors are fascinating, Gareth has questions, and Cashel has no idea what’s going to happen with the wickedly helpful neighbor.

Author’s Note: While this duet is part of the Education of the Heart series, these are the roommates from Save Me Santa. While it’s not technically necessary, I think Learning to Walk and Learning to Run will be more enjoyable if you’ve already read Brady’s story, Save Me Santa.
