Good ending to an enjoyable series. The MCs working on the mystery had some amusing elements. Scott's mother was really outstanding. There were a number of really unpleasant minor characters in the story who were a bit too much. I look forward to the author's next project.

The blurb sets this book up very well so it’s hard not to give spoilers. Scott works in HR at Pleasure Seekers and Prin works in IT. When a shipment of sex toys goes missing, Scott is charged with finding the culprit. Prin comes across some interesting information about a co-worker, the two collaborate and the investigation is on.
With an unusual cast of characters, many from previous books, complicated office politics, secret couples, covert sleuthing, and vengeful bosses, Prin and Scott work to catch a thief while discovering a lasting attraction to each other and a chance for a life together. Cute romance with an office mystery and a fairly obvious culprit that our two detectives set out to unmask, leading to unexpected, but not unwelcome, consequences. Light hearted, spicy, entertaining read with some delightful MCs to spend a few hours with.

Scott has his turn at true love with a co-worker named Prin. The two bond as they try to solve the mystery of stolen goods. This is disappointing in that there is a bully at work that gets away with it. The romance is great and it tears at your heart strings but it is a great love story!.

Cute story that is a break apart to bring back together trope, but still has all the feels of the other books in the Pleasure Seekers series. Scott and Prim are total opposites but yet they have some shared interests. Finding the culprit who is stealing toys from the adult toy company is paramount but they tend to get side tracked at times. I liked seeing Scott's other roommates and previous characters from earlier books. Gives us more in site to their characters. Scott and Prim are great characters, very likable and I am so happy they are together!.

4.5* for, imo, the strongest of the series, but maybe that was partly due to my anticipation about it being Scott’s story.
I really enjoyed this. Parker has a light touch, with low angst books that are very easy to read and equally hard to put down. Even when the going gets tough, you know the ending will be sweet and satisfying.

Glow - Freedom was Bliss
‘Scott grabbed his hands and held him close. He could feel Prin’s heart beating underneath his thin shirt. “Hey, I’m serious,” Scott said. “Another confession. I’ve never done anything like this before so I’m the one who should be scared.” “You’ve never—” “Don’t you start,” Scott cut in. He kissed Prin. The taste of those lips would never get old. The kiss intensified. Now Scott had got to grips with a bit of slap and tickle, he was ready to get going.’
Scott is one of Kristian Parker’s endearing characters, as he is the only one left of the three roommates not in a relationship. He continues to search, failing miserably, until he realizes there is someone within close reach that he had not considered.
There is drama in Glow, the third in the Pleasure Seekers series, as two men find common ground, while also introducing unexplored adventures.

I have loved Scott's character in the previous two books in this series so I was very happy to get a review copy of Glow. You might be able to read this as a standalone but I really think this is a series that's best enjoyed if it's read in order.
Scott and Prin seem to have a fairly easy time of it relationship wise until things go bad at work. Now Scott has to work hard to get Prin to see how serious he is about him and how much he loves him. I loved how Prin brought out the best in Scott and helped him to settle down a bit. It was also great to visit again with first two couples in this series.
I love it when a book gets all of my emotions involved and Glow did a great job of that. There was one scene that had me seriously LOLing to the point that my hubby wanted to know what was so funny. When I read it out loud to him, he did the same. This is a NSFW scene so proceed at your own risk:
I wasn't a bit disappointed with Scott and Prin's love story but I have to admit that I would love it if the author would write one more book – maybe a novella? – that would let us see more of the three couples a bit into the future and to check in with Pleasure Seekers (the company). I'd like to know if a certain bad guy's father got what he deserved for being such a nasty boss/human being.

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is book 3 in the Pleasure Seekers trilogy, but it can be read as a stand alone. BUT, people?? READ the other books, OK?? Cos they set the scene for Scott to be the last man standing, and that man falls fast and hard and he never saw it coming!
Scott is looking for love, but his latest date was another washout. He really feels left out now Tyler and Eddie are loved up. A theft at work brings him face to face with Prin, from the IT department. Then Scott must stay focussed or he might not see the one thing he has been looking for, is right under his nose.
I loved Thrill, and I really liked Kicks, but I think Scott and Prin might be my favourite couple!
There are sparks flying, right from that first meeting in the men's locker room, and they fly through the whole book, even when Scott messes up (accidentally!) and puts Prin in a difficult position. This is really the only drama between these two, and that's why I tagged it low angst.
There is a good deal of other drama though! The theft and who is doing it, Prin's friend Colin and what's happening to him, and we also get to catch up with Tyler and Eddie and their other halves. At this point, they are all just about living together in the shared flat, so it's hard not to catch up with them!
But I loved what happens at the end. Prin gets some closure with his family. He needed that, he really did.
It's always sad to see a series end, especially one I've thoroughly loved. But hey, maybe Parker will write a follow up, kind of an epilogue in a whole book, just so we can see how the guys are getting on!

What a perfect ending to an amazing trilogy.
Scott has sat by and watched his two best friends fins their happily ever after. He is so happy for them. But he is also jealous.
Scott wants what his best friends have and Scott wants it now.
Prin believes he knows who is responsible for the recent theft at the company he works at. However the culprit is his bosses son.
The only way he can do this is if the HR person. Dealing with the investigation (Scott) keeps his name out of it!
You really need to read the three books to really understand Scott as a person

My heart is singing!
This is the third book in the series, and this time we learn about Scots life. He’s larger-than-life a jokester, always putting his foot in it. He works for HR at pleasure seekers. And in this book, they learn that a thief is among them. There is a batch of toys missing. So Scott is on the lookout for clues.
Prin works in the IT department of pleasure seekers and he overhear something that makes him feel he should report it. But he doesn’t want to talk about it at work so he arranges to meet out of work to talk about the conversation he overheard. This is where the two of them come up with a plan to find the thief. But he makes it very clear that he wishes to remain anonymous.
As these two spend more and more time together, it is obvious that there is an attraction there, and when Scott kisses prin he worries about being reported for sexual misconduct. But what he doesn’t know is that prin is At Home , thinking the same thing because he happily returned the kiss. I adore these two men when they are together. Everything feels right and I would go as far to say they are soulmates. They can’t keep their hands off each other. When Scott finds something under the sofa. He is intrigued and excited to learn more. Of course, something happens that throws Everything they feel for one another in their faces but cannot get it back together. Can they trust what they feel and trust what the other is saying? An absolutely brilliant read I’m going to go as far as to say this is my favourite book of the series, but I think I’ve said that before.
It was great catching up with the roommates and everyone at pleasure seekers, and I thought Colin was just magnificent.

Scott and Prin work for the same company but are completely different from one another. Scott is out going and Prin is quiet. They meet because Scott needs help finding out who's stealing from the company. As they work together they find out that they like each other and want to find out where it goes. I really enjoyed this book. It is funny and the characters are interesting.

Here are a few things I liked about this story.
1: the characters. I found Prin adorable. I also loved all the secondary characters.
2: I liked the mystery on their job that brought Scott and Prin together.
3.I liked the pace of the relationship
Now having said this here's a few things I felt fell short.
1: Jeremy, Prin's neighbor. He felt just dropped in. Either he needed to cause some issues ( I'd have liked the extra conflict) or taken out. He really didn't add anything to the book.
I'd also loved more of Colin. What happened to him? He was kinda a good friend, loveable funny, then kinda disapeared... heck even him being older I'd love his story or at least more involvement towards the end.
2. The mystery really held premise. It was funny... I mean truckload of stolen sex toys? But that wrapup was resolved but not resolved? What happened to the culprit?
3. I liked the pace of the relationship and tgere was lots of hot love scenes. But there was a tiny bit of BDSM thrown in that really didn't fit or add to the story.
Having said that I love this author. I did like the story it just didn't compare to the Two Tribes
Series.
If you like close friendships, sex toy businesses, computer needs, opposites attract, and a sweet romance with lots of heat and a bit of humor this is for you.

good and rather tender It's a good romance, ultimately quite tender despite the context of the theft in the company. The two heroes are endearing and some societal subjects are also quickly addressed, while keeping at the center the two characters who seem opposed at the start.

This is the third and final book in the Pleasure Seekers series. You can enjoy it as a standalone but you will get more out of it if you have read the earlier books. This is the story of Scott Fitzgerald and Prin Lau. Scott is the last roommate to still be single. All the others have found their special someone and it hurts him that he is unable to find his. Scott and Prin both work at the Pleasure Seekers company. Scott is in HR and has been assigned to investigate missing shipments. Prin is a shy man who is all alone in the world except for his Nanny. His uncle in Thailand has not reacted well to Pin's declaration of being gay and rejected him. Both are wary of working together to solve the theft. As they work together, misconceptions are cleared up and the two become friends. This is their story. This book is a good conclusion to the series. We get updates on all the guys. The book is written well and is easy to read. I enjoyed it.

A BEAUTIFUL ROUNDING OFF OF A GREAT SERIES!💕
I can’t believe it is the end of the Pleasure Seekers series and wow it sure was a journey to see all the roommates Scott, Eddie and Tyler find their perfect persons!
Scott Fitzgerald always showcased as a player who was not looking for long time commitment until both his roommates found their partners and he realised he needs to grow up…
The irony is that his perfect person was always under his nose and he never realised it until a theft takes place at the warehouse and Prin Lum has information regarding the theft and their lives were never the same again!
I loved their dynamic and how they just fit no matter what anyone else thought even a nosy jealous neighbour…
I loved Colin as a friend for Prin and then Scott and how they helped him navigate bigotry in a retirement community!
I loved the ending and how all the couples ended up moving on with their own lives but still kept in contact!

Think this is my favourite couple of the series
Scott finally finds his man and I was so happy for him. Watching him watch his two flatmates both find happiness with their partners in the first two books was quite sad really, as he obviously wanted what they didn't seem to be looking for but accidentally found. Someone to call his own.
Prin was totally unexpected, an immigrant, a loner but not by choice, a sweet man who seemed so lost.
I liked Prin and his history, and I enjoyed seeing how their treatment at Pleasure Seekers pushed them to find a better and happier life.
I didn't like tthe way the storyline at Pleasure Seekers played out. Department heads that can get away with bullying and harrassing their staff, openly intimidating them even, in front of other staff members and the Head of HR too, with no consequences? Daft and unneccesary.
I loved their HEA. A much better life for them and a satisfying conclusion to the series.

Final story, but hopefully we can have more. The author has woven some interesting stories. Scott, is the last one of his housemates to find his 'person'. He enjoys his job at Pleasure Seekers. A consignment goes missing and Scott is on the job to find out what happened. Prin, works in the IT department. They are both using their skills to try to find the culprit. Prin has a few family conflicts that stress him out and create a few esteem issues. Scott and Prin are likeable and funny, they have a good support structure, who help and oftentimes challenge their growth. There are also challenges from previous relationships. Our guys are really earning their relationship. Good flow, a nice bit of action and adventure. Nicely done. I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Ah, Scott finally finds love! He’s been trying and failing miserably to find his person. Watching his friends, who weren’t looking, find it. All it took was a thieving, entitled douche at work to bring them together!
Prin is good at his job, but he’s just trying to keep his head down, and he definitely doesn’t want to get on the bad side of his boss. But Scott ropes him into the investigation. It’s that investigation that brings them together, and let’s Prin see that Scott isn’t just a loud, flirty guy, he’s caring and thoughtful, and a wonderful partner.
I enjoyed their relationship and their journey, but I also loved how this series wrapped up. These three BFFs and their partners were all wonderful, and I really loved the setting of an Adult Toy company.

A thoroughly enjoyable book in a thoroughly enjoyable series!
Have loved every book in this series as they all have such great characters.
I love the fact it's set in Brighton, England as I know it well so could really relate to the setting. We get to meet previous characters as we follow Scott's turn at love! He meets the IT guy Prin Lau, at work and they have such a great dynamic between them and such down to earth, likeable and relatable characters. A lovely slow burn romance ensues that I found a pleasure to read.

I've been reading since the first Pleasure Seekers book. And this did not disappoint. I absolutely love Scott and I love that Eddie and Tyler play a big role in this book. I fell in love with Prin. And I loved his relationship with Colin. This book did hit all the emotions I cried several times. And there were several times that I laughed so hard I had to run to the restroom.

The final installment in Kristian Parker's Pleasure Seekers series is a home run. "Glow" brings a fitting conclusion to the adventures at Pleasure Seekers, an online store known for its eclectic array of sex toys, edible underwear, and lube. Parker closes out the series on a high note, delivering a proper farewell to Scott Fitzgerald, Eddie Channing, and Tyler Jones. These three men, besides being coworkers, are also roommates, which adds a unique dynamic to their stories.
Scott is the last remaining single man in the house, with Tyler and Eddie having found love in the first two books, respectively. The opening feels a bit downbeat as Scott grapples with being the third wheel to his roommates' relationships. However, one of the strengths of this installment is its intriguing mystery plot. Scott is tasked with solving a case of major "shrinkage" at the company, which introduces Prin Lau from the IT department.
Scott and Prin are very likable characters, which makes this novel stand out. In fact, I found Scott's story more compelling than Eddie's or Tyler's. The "friends to lovers" trope is handled well, with the men coming together and then breaking up, adding drama that makes their slow-burn relationship all the more satisfying.
Parker's writing shines through in the development of Scott and Prin's relationship, balancing humor, tenderness, and a touch of suspense. The supporting characters, both old and new, add depth to the story, making the Pleasure Seekers world feel vibrant and real.
I will miss the Pleasure Seekers Company and their staff, particularly Scott, Eddie, and the other supporting characters who have become familiar faces over the series. Kristian Parker has delivered a memorable and enjoyable conclusion, and I eagerly look forward to seeing what he writes next.

At first, this novel was a nice, regular read with a touch of sarcasm and humour. The 'baddies' are a bit stereotyped, but I found Scott truly hillarious, and Prim very cute, with his multicultural background story adding something different. I also enjoyed Scott's mother when she made an appearance. Other than that, I'd say there was perhaps too much graphic sex for my liking and not enough relationship building.
But the story really started to shine at the end with the unexpected twist. That's when we really get to see their feelings for each other apart from lust and their seemingly desperation to settle for anybody.

Glow is the third and final book in the Pleasure Seekers series and I have been loving these books. This was such a good end to the series and I am so glad I read them, they are standalones but I suggest reading them in order. I loved reading about Scott finally getting his HEA and Prin was just perfect for him.

The investigation Scott does for an interesting theft is done well but the fallout wasn't great. Scott going after Prin when he was leaving is good as it allows them to be together and helps Prin deal with his family issues being resolved and welcomed back into the family.

Returning to Pleasure Seekers is always an adventure. Prin and Scott are characters that you find enjoyable to follow along with. This book offers some “who done it” drama while introducing a love story into the mix. While the story has a bit of an open ended closing it leaves you looking forward to whatever may come next in this series.

This was a good addition and conclusion to the series, Scott the third and final flatmate and friend meets Prin and gets his Hea, but it’s not all plain sailing and they have to solve a theft from the company and some family drama to overcome but they get there eventually and we have three happy couples.

This is Scott and Prin's story and the conclusion to an enjoyable series. Scott and Prin work together to solve the mystery of the missing items at work.
This is a really sweet, a little angst, a mystery and a HEA

Glow is the third book in the Pleasure Seekers series by Kristian Parker. This is an MM contemporary romance, set in Brighton, England and features gay men who work for a massive online sex toy store who all start out their stories as single men rooming together. These are standalone book, but readers may wish to get more context about the previous characters in the series. On the whole these are funny and relatable characters who are just living life.
Scott is the last remaining single one in his house, with his other two housemates finding love in books one and two. Seeing his friends happy, Scott is a lonely and he would like a wonderful partner for himself. Working in Pleasure Seekers HR department, Scott has the somewhat thankless task of figuring out who in the company could have been responsible for a major theft. That's how he meets IT guy Prin Lau, who thinks he can help the investigation, even if it puts his job and his team in jeopardy.
These two have an interesting dynamic. They are both down to earth and very much relatable as people. They come off immediately as great friends. And while there is a spark of chemistry there, the romance between them is a slow burn. Aside from there work storyline, there is also background into their individual personal lives. I really enjoyed the ending, especially when we got to see more from the Scott's friends who had already found love.

This is a good finale to this series. I enjoyed the mystery of Scott and Prin trying to figure out who the thief is and I appreciated how things developed for them.
