Men of Smithfield Sam and Aaron edition by LB Gregg Romance eBooks

I more or less enjoyed all entries in these series - I cannot say that they are on the top ten list of my most memorable books, but they were light hearted well written fun.

This long novella (Amazon lists words count as 44000) is no exception. You have to endure super fast attraction between our heroes (what's new, right? Most m/m novellas have that :((), but if you can, I think the chance you will like it is high enough.

Sam is a guy who wondered whether staying in small city robbed him of some possibilities he (and his sister) may had elsewhere, but really he loves the town and people around him and I think people love him too.

Heh, I don't know though whether I could ever live in the small city where everybody everybody knows your business and you being caught on tape with a handsome stranger in the library is something that everybody is aware of pretty much next day.

Aaron has some secrets when he comes to Smithfield - but I am telling you for half a story I thought his secret was something totally different than what it turned out to be, so it fooled me for sometime at least. Not bad.

I think what I liked the most was that I actually had a clear mental picture of the characters in my head by the time story ended - too often when I finish even longer story I do not fee like I know even the leads and here I felt like I knew who Sam and Aaron were, and his sister Wynne (who thank goodness was shown as having her own inspirations and ambitions in life, and was not there just to support her brother, even though she was supportive and loving).

I liked Claire too - that was another interesting female character, although of course if it was her story she could use a little more fleshing out too.

3.5 stars rounded to 4.

Men of Smithfield Sam and Aaron edition by LB Gregg Romance eBooks Reviews

There are some really wonderful scenes with Sam and Aaron, but I wish there had been more of them and less space devoted to secondary characters like Claire and Cole. The family mystery also didn't really interest me, but I understand the author's need to create a backstory to connect Sam and Aaron. I do enjoy LB Gregg's writing and I recommend the Mark and Tony Men of Smithfield book as a far more entertaining story than the one here.
The mystery that is Aaron is no mystery at all. Sam knows Aaron isn't after the silver, but what is he after? Once he knows the truth, he isn't any more surprised than the reader. Ok, what about the romance? L.B. Gregg pulls out some sizzling moments for the 5th (possibly last) book in the series. But the plot is only so-so. Hovering somewhere between 3 and 4 stars, I felt generous because the series as a whole is quite good. The funny characters save this book from a lower rating. Go ahead and complete your collection, it is a nice tale.
I really love LB GREEG's writing, her characters and the way her stories flow. This one didn't disappoint. She brought together two men who are opposites and showed they really do attracted. I have read most of this series and although this one wasn't my favorite (we all have to have one and mine was Max and Finn) I still loved it and would recommend this series to anyone who loves a good M/M story with heart and heat.
I really enjoy LB Gregg's writing and this series in particular. This is not my very favorite of the series (the first one I read, Mark and Tony, and then the more unusual Adam and Holden are my favorites) but she's a gifted writer who creates characters you care for. Sam is a local's local, known to all and he chafes at the small town world in which he lives. Aaron is the mysterious new comer who is staying at his Bed and Breakfast. Shenanigans en sue. It's a fun, light read wth occasional grace notes. Really, what more could you want?

Each book is stand alone, though past characters do make appearances, you don't have to read them in any particular order, though Mark and Tony is the first one and sets the tone very nicely.
Out of the five Smithfield stories that Gregg has penned, I’ve read now three, including this one, and I think this newest installment is probably my favorite.

This time, Gregg takes us back to the small idyllic New England town of Smithfield, and we follow burly blond bed & breakfast owner Sam, who is likened to a Viking due to his towering height and light hair, and who is struggling, along with his sister, to keep their family business going. While he suffers through his sister’s money-raising schemes, the latest of which is to entice local lonely-hearts to meet cute while cooking at the inn, Sam himself is a little bit lonesome since it seems like all the other available gay men in town got coupled off already (in books 1-4.)

Of course, this means Sam also has his own “meet cute” story, but it’s not over the dinner table at the inn, but at the library, when he gets his hand stuck in the book drop, and only a shadowy figure sneaking in the stacks is there to help him out.

Little does Sam know that his sneaky savior is the newest B&B guest, a cute out-of-towner named Aaron who is quick with picking a lock, looks hot in Henleys, and keeps his secrets close to his toned little chest. (Height difference fans can rejoice at the inches between Aaron, who is around 5’5, and looming Sam.)

All and all, this is a nicely light contemporary romance novella—not too deep, but a quick and fun read. The other Smithfield books I’ve read, Mark & Tony and Max & Finn, had a mystery amongst the romance shenanigans, and this one shares that trait, although the mystery here is very light on suspense in comparison. (And also a little confusing.)

Even though I’m a big mystery-romance fan, I did prefer this book of the three, mostly because I liked Sam better than earlier MCs Mark, Max, and Finn, and he had cute chemistry with Aaron, as well as with the rest of the cast of wacky characters. (I had a hard time warming up to the other two books, but this one was pretty easy to swim into, like a warm bath started by a grousing, over-burdened inn owner.)

Do you need to read the other Smithfield books to enjoy this? Probably not—you’ll see some references to Mark and Finn, and both Tony from book 1 and Adam from book 4 pop up, but I think you can go into this expecting a light contemporary romance and enjoy it as it is.

I think my favorite Gregg works are still her Romano and Albright series, but this one would be a good de-stresser for a long day, or a nice read if you’re sitting by the beach. You might get a little hungry though—those dating dinner classes that Sam and Aaron are forced to take, although full of mishaps, do sound quite tasty. Maybe you can commiserate with them by having a glass of wine to share while you read.
