As much as I like Rhone and Adam, this novella was kind of a bust.
The stereotypes about bisexuality made me ragey, and the two convoluted side plots were utterly unnecessary. What the fuck do I care about some random secondary characters named Ford and Annie getting married? That was sooo stupid. I don't understand why Rhone and Adam even got involved.
Instead of writing a simple, sweet follow-up for the MCs, Dane just threw all kinds of shit into the story hoping it would stick. Nope. Random shit does not a plot make.
BUT: Still HOT AS FUCK. Still fucking on a kitchen counter (not sure why; it seemed kind of dangerous and uncomfortable). Still a HEA. Still Cameron Dane.
Closer to 2.5 stars, but for old time's sake, I'm rounding up.

^^ I DO TOO!^^
So this is the sequel to Finding Home by Cameron Dane. The first book was an intro to Rhone and Adam, very short and oh so sweet. See Rhone and Adam has been friends for over ten years, and Adam has been in love with him the whole time, well they get together and start a relationship, I won't go into details but if you want info check my review for Finding Home. This book picks up where the first one left us, we get a a very candid look into their lives as a couple, its two years after the initial hook up and things are still as hot as ever.
The first scene is all kinds of explosive, my tummy did a somersault anf then ended in back flip layup, it was hardcore gymnastics. The way Rhone and Adam love each other, it is probably illegal in some parts of the world, or might be dangerous to the fragile. It so sweet, and you probably picked up from the title that there will be a wedding. The proposal is sweet and brought genuine tears to mine eyes. All out sexy gushiness.
They have to go to a state where gay marriage is legal, and lets just say the walk to the altar is anything but smooth. Rhone and Adam become cupid and his sidekick, when they run into some small distubances at the hotel they are staying. Not only will they have to fix thier relationship, but they have two couples in need of serious help. Its a couples catostrophe y'all.
I loved this one, the sex was hot oh god this shit could burn lava. I also loved that Dane brought in Adam's fears of Rhones sexual past. He has always been a hetero, and still find women attractive, and Adam worries that he might one day realize that its a woman he truly needs, his fears are just and I love how Rhone proves him to him that no one else will do.
What can I say I am big Cameron Dane fan, always will be. I haven't met a book by the Dane that I did not like. This one was super sweet and all kinds of sexy! Side Note- There is another book in this series before this one about Rhone's brother, its M/F so I skipped it, and you know why.

March 13, 2010Usually Seasonal romances are light, especially the one turning around Christmas, even more when there is a marriage in them, it’s like putting together the most romantic situations, a sugary overdose is assured, but if the author mixes well the ingredients, the result could a master chef marriage cake. And to have some cherries on top of the cake, this is also a “family” get together story, a typical expedient of publishers under Christmas, asking authors to write a story in the middle of the series, where previous characters make cameo appearances. What surprised me is that, in the end, I think the sequel of Rhone and Adam’s story is probably even better than the previous one.
Truth be told, at the beginning of the story I was a little worried: it had started in a very romantic way, with Adam proposing Rhone and Rhone gladly accepting. But when they arrive on the posh hotel in Vermont where they are getting married on New Year’s Eve, they soon stumble upon two mysteries: another soon to be married couple who seem to have other reason other than love to tight the knot, and a young man who is apparently the victim of a case of domestic violence… not exactly two romantic situations, and in someway they clashed with the feeling of the story. But I was worrying for nothing, and indeed the two stories give a reason more to this romance, other than letting the reader witness the happy conclusion of Rhone and Adam’s love story; that is probably the most common fault of this type of stories, they have no reason to be if not to put a nice pink bow on an already told relationship.
The story serves also to give to the reader some proofs more that Rhone is really in love with Adam: Rhone still likes and dreams women, but he has now started to appreciated also the male beauty, and in particular Adam’s beauty. Rhone is in love with Adam not since he is a man but since he is Adam, and it’s a stronger type of love, one that probably will not lessen with age and time. Rhone and Adam are now lovers, but they were and still are also friends, the relationship between them is of mutuality and dependence, a very balanced one. There is not top or bottom, no leader or follower, all right, on a physical way, maybe Rhone is bigger than Adam, but for all the rest, they both have different strengths that put them on a same level.
Finally, the story is also very sexy, Rhone and Adam are in love and enjoy it a lot, and they are often all over each other, even more now that their marriage day is coming. The sex is good, plenty and naughty enough to be very enjoyable, but not too much to be only a resistance marathon.

This is the third book in the Quinn Security Series and a continuation of Rhone and Adam’s story, I pretty much feel the same about this one as I did about the first one. We got to know Rhone and Adam a bit more but still I feel no connection to these two. I found myself skimming a lot of it, there was pages of sex then a bit of story and then pages of sex again with a tiny bit more story and so on and I’m still having a huge problem with Rhone’s GFY thing, it’s just too far out there. While Saying I Do was marginally better than Finding Home I was really hoping for something more *sigh* you can’t win them all and I’m not giving up on Cameron Dane she has some amazing books out there!

I loved reading Saying I Do the 3 book of the Quinn Security Series. This book was such a sexy and fun read, good story, awesome steaming sex and lots of twist.
Rhone and Adam are a cute and sexy couple heading to Vermont to get married but before they say I DO and get they happily ever after they have to past some more twist and to confront the fears they never spoken about it.
My only issue with this book is that i felt the action was being rushed and everything happened to quick.
Overall this is a good book, and if you enjoy reading m/m romance you good to go ahead and read it.

A sweet sequel to the series. Rhone Quinn and Adam Reyes are about to tie the knot but their nuptials are almost sidelined by the shenanigans of friends and other hotel guests.
Bottom line: a sweet sequel to the series.

Finding Home is probably my favorite Cameron Dane book so I definitely wanted to read the sequel, Saying I Do. This particular story unfortunately doesn’t live up to the greatness of the previous novel, but fans of the couple will want to read this for the strong happy ending. The antics and tension in the story are humorous at times and ridiculous at others. The tension is all completely artificial but a lot of readers won’t be bothered and can enjoy the story for what it is; after all it’d be rather boring if they just wandered off, got married, and nothing actually happened. Additionally there are some classic Dane word choices that just don’t work for me, making me skim the numerous sex scenes. However for Dane fans and especially fans of this couple, you’re likely to enjoy the look back.
Since Rhone and Adam are an established couple and deeply in love, all the tension and drama has to come from outside sources. In this case, Rhone and Adam happen to overhear several arguments and altercations from the hotel staff and can’t resist getting involved. The first is the owner’s daughter and her fiancé, who are in love but won’t admit it. Then there is an abusive relationship between two other hotel employees, which sets up the next book in the series. Along the way Adam’s fears and insecurities about Rhone’s sexuality are tested before they can get married and have a happy honeymoon.
The plot itself relies on a lot of coincidences, clearly establishing the artificial tension in the book. There isn’t much point to the book, the plot is very contrived and the sole purpose to revisit a couple of beloved men. Rhone and Adam can’t help getting involved in the problems of others and as such, I wouldn’t have been surprised if there had been a murder mystery thrown in too. The various relationship problems of everyone keep the story moving and allow for the friends and family to get some face time in the book as well. The problems of the owner’s daughter and her fiancé are classic romance book (business deal but they actually love each other) and easily solved, yet prolonged just enough to be a catalyst for Adam’s insecurities. Here the book addresses the fact that Rhone is straight and Adam fears one day that being in a gay relationship won’t be enough for him. Their emotional fight, makeup, and finally discussion show the real strength of the story, even as their resolution is pretty weak.
The side story about the abusive relationship is the more interesting of the two problems presented, yet given the least amount of depth and a lightening fast, super easy resolution. The point of this was clearly to set up the next book in the series while not taking too much time and energy away from the main couple. Which in between solving the romantic problems of others and dealing with their own fears, Rhone and Adam have a lot of sex. The story begins with a raunchy sex scene and there are several more in the book, including a lengthy ending that isn’t really needed but ups the page count, with a lot of sex. Now, normally this would be fine, if not slightly gratuitous, but some of the prose choices in these sex scenes were complete turn offs. The author tends to use the terms “chute” and “channel” frequently, which is definitely subjective to readers. I find the language unattractive, especially when paired with such phrases as “he lost his shit, coming hard up Adam’s steamy chute.” Perhaps others won’t be put off by that, but I was and it made me just skim the sex scenes as I didn’t want to read about one or the other’s damp, hot chute.
Due to the qualms mentioned, I didn’t enjoy this particular offering as much as the other book. I never forgot that I was reading the manipulations of a book, using sometimes awkward sentences and unattractive language. However, not everyone will mind and if nothing else, it’s nice to see these two get their well deserved happy ending. The emotional connection was well established and there were numerous references to the past to understand the book without having read how Adam and Rhone got together. So pick this up if you are interested in the couple and want to see the setup for the next book in the series.

In Saying I Do we’re back with Adam and Rhone from Finding Home, fast forwarded two years. They are engaged now and about to get married, but at the hotel where the big occasion is going to take place they get distracted by a few people in distress. And while helping out other people some tension is added to their own relationship. A big fight and a mind-blowing make-up scene are the result. Those were the best parts of the book which as a whole is an enjoyable reacquaintance with two very likeable characters. The sub stories were not bad at all but taking up a wee bit too much pages, considering we were left hanging about the futures of these people. I sense some new installments in this series around (some of) them… Especially Wes deserves his own story. And I would love to know if Logan and Nate will end up together. *
I liked Saying I Do even better than Finding Home and was glad it didn’t have a WTH scene like Finding Home had (the one with Adam and Kasey at the office in the end). It was a pleasure to learn more about Rhone and Adam and to see their love mirrored in their behavior and little gestures. And let’s not forget to mention the love scenes. Cameron Dane excels in writing excellent, panty-scorching, one of a kind, hot and sexy scenes. For these alone I’d consider a reread of this book. ;)
*NB I just saw at Cameron Dane’s website that Nate and Logan do get their own story very soon! And the author already has an idea for Wes’s story too (hooking him up with Robert from Saying I Do).

This was better than the first book in the series (Finding Home) in the sense that Rhone and Adam are an established couple about to get married so that part didn't feel contrived.
But I couldn't help but roll my eyes when they decided to play matchmaker for a couple they just met and offering help to a hotel employee they barely knew (and who hadn't asked for it.) And with all those coincidences and being in the right place at the right time, they should be playing the lottery.
Also, the author uses the strangest terms during sex scenes. I will never see the laundry chute the same way again...

Love these guys! They love each other so much, with so much passion and devotion. It's wonderful to see.

I didn't have high expectations for this book, and it pretty much delivered on that. Basically the plot is an excuse to show these men in love and getting married. The two mysteries are really obvious, not really even mysteries, and so trite as to be boring. There was WAY too much sex described. I'm on board with how much they had sex--they were there to get married after all--but we didn't need to see it. Adam was an idiot with his jealousy, just utterly ridiculous given what he saw, but his reasons were not only realistic, but extremely common.
Most gay people I know will not date a bisexual. Usually it's not them being judgmental about the person themselves (although many times there are. I had to re-come out as bi to my friends when I started seriously dating a man and it was harder than coming out to my parent), but there's the uncertainty that one day the partner will just up and leave because they think they're missing something. I think it's stupid, personally, because you don't stray unless you're unhappy or being unfulfilled in some way, and that can happen to anyone.
Think of how many heterosexual people you know who've been cheated on/cheated. Talking about missing something, that's ridiculous. There's always someone who offers something you don't: someone who's from the same background, or who's prettier and thinner, someone who's more educated or well traveled. They're all things that people worry about, so why is bisexuality any different? I fall in love with the person, not the genitals. (Incidentally, all three of my long term partners cheated on me, on extreme ends of the Kinsey scale, but I've never been disloyal.) If I were to switch to a person of the opposite gender to my partner, then they would worry that I would go the other way.
How did I get up on that soapbox again? I keep doing that...
Rhine's reaction was realistic, too. He wasn't perfect, but he wasn't out of line at all. I also loved that it didn't get drawn out into some ridiculous thing with some corny long term separation, but was just . They were grownups about it.
When they made up (you know they were going to) Rhone actually broke down the argument much better than I did. He first explains that he has wet dreams about men, too, and that he's bi, not GFY-OFY. Then he continues:
There I am on that soap box again.
One nitpick originated in the first book and just continues here. It's about the aunt who apparently goes to a number of different priests who tell her it's not okay to love her nephew because he's a homosexual and loving him is saying it's okay. Bullpucky. Gays are not welcomed in Catholic churches, true. Their behavior isn't supposed to be condoned. But it makes no sense that a priest would tell someone not to try to save the soul of her nephew by staying in contact with him. Catholicism is all about outreach and conversion. I mean, missionary work comes from the word mission, to take the Word of God to the barbarian's so that they, too, might know His grace. (Blech.) The doors to a church aren't supposed to be closed because a person should always be able to find a place to pray and confess their sins.
In the confessional, everything can be forgiven as long as proper penance is paid and the intention is to never do that thing again. So why would they be okay with her turning away from him and never talking to him again? Plus, I just can't see that in a big city in the U.S. there wouldn't be at least one priest who would say, "Of course you still love your nephew. It's not wrong to love him. Hate the sin, not the sinner," or something. Some, sure, but I think there's a difference between love and supporting. I don't know for absolutely sure as I'm not Catholic and never have been, but I do have a graduate degree in religion and culture and the scenario in the book just doesn't fit with what I've learned. I would also have liked to have seen a little bit of the wedding, but I'm glad it wasn't some long drawn out boring thing.
But I'm going to finish with a quote from the book that I thought was great. In the first, they're talking about domestic violence and one of them comments that the person is really young and big and how it's weird that he's being abused. The other responds:

"That doesn't mean I have any more interest in leaving you for a man than for a woman. Just like I have to trust that you aren't going to meet some guy one day who has always identified as gay, who sees the world more in accordance with the way you do, and leave me for him. Does it worry me sometimes? Do I have moments of insecurity when I see you talking to an attractive gay man who I know would appeal to you? Yes...I get scared sometimes, Adam. But I remind myself that you love me and that what we have together goes well beyond sex."There were two minorities mentioned in the story, one a housekeeper who is...go on guess...Latina, yes. We don't even see her. Then there's a black man who gets in-scene time, but he never speaks. His profession? You're going to be so shocked...security. At least he's head of it. It's a sad day when I'm actually seeing this situation as an improvement over most other stories I read.

Plus, I just can't see that in a big city in the U.S. there wouldn't be at least one priest who would say, "Of course you still love your nephew. It's not wrong to love him. Hate the sin, not the sinner," or something. Some, sure, but I think there's a difference between love and supporting. I don't know for absolutely sure as I'm not Catholic and never have been, but I do have a graduate degree in religion and culture and the scenario in the book just doesn't fit with what I've learned. I would also have liked to have seen a little bit of the wedding, but I'm glad it wasn't some long drawn out boring thing.
But I'm going to finish with a quote from the book that I thought was great. In the first, they're talking about domestic violence and one of them comments that the person is really young and big and how it's weird that he's being abused. The other responds:
"His age doesn't mean anything anyway," Logan pointed out. "Age, social class, education, size--it's all irrelevant in domestic-abuse cases. All it takes is for one of the two people to feel inferior or to feel as if they need the other person to survive, and the other half can do almost whatever they want and get away with it."I really appreciated that because too often, people think it's a class or gender thing, or that someone powerful in their everyday lives, can't be abused. Yeah, it's a little preachy and could have been said a little less heavy-handedly, but I still really liked it.

I read quite a bit of Cameron Dane's stuff (m/m stuff) so I know what I am getting into when I buy her books.
This story - the sequel to Finding Home is an entertaining little tale about Rhone & Adam's wedding adventure. If you are a fan of CD and/or have liked the Quinn Security Series of books then it's worth reading. The plot is a bit silly but there are newly introduced characters who will appear in later books so it is nice to learn about them.
CD has a way with words and sometimes I cringe when I read her stuff - at this point nothing she writes really surprises me anymore. Sometimes I find myself rolling my eyes because certain words and adjectives are typically used over and over. That being said I will still continue to buy and read her books - they are steamy and fun and I never take my reading material too seriously anyway.

From when the first book came out about then they'd first met till this one which in book world is a twelve year gap I found it quite extensive not having anything to read on in between for this two characters. I know there was another before this but unfortunately I don't read M/F so yeah it's my loss and I lost out anything that might have happened before this.
The most action was involving what happened with Wes and I would have liked to have seen a little more than just this. Ok, I mean it rose on the doubts Adam had about Rhone, but I think many couples cross that little path of pre-wedding jitters in the back of their minds with the questions and the doubts before saying I Do. Otherwise I admit I still enjoyed the story just not as much as her others.

Adam and Rhone are back and stronger than ever in this book. There were a few trying times for the couple, but they worked on their issues. I thought myself this book is very believable. It goes to show after a couple get a HEA there can still be topic's that need discussing. A few times in this book I thought they would break up, but for me the way everything was dealt with was perfect.
I have to say, I love this couple. Honestly they are perfect together. No matter how many problems they uncounted, I find myself hoping their relationship will survive. Some people might not like this series. its is really not for everyone but it is for me and I will continue reading them. Cameron Dane is fast becoming a favourite author of mine, I highly recommend this series. :)

I loved this sequel to Finding Home. It gives more details of Adam's and Rhone's life together two years later.
Even though they are trying to focus on getting married, others' problems keep "interfering", which makes for a relaxing, fun read. The depth of emotions between the two lovers and Adam's struggle to come to terms with Rhone's bi-sexuality (although that label is never mentioned) give the story a deeper meaning which I really liked.
(I would definitely recommend reading the first volume before attempting this one, there are too many references you will miss otherwise.)

I loved Adam & Rhone in Finding Home :) I was so glad we got to share the week leading up to the wedding with them & then some of the honeymoon.

I really enjoyed the story and characters. My only complaint was that the sex scenes were so frequent I just skipped forward. The storyline was good so more plot and less sex would have been nice.

Fairy tale endings should exist for everyone! For Adam and Rhone, that fairy tale ending may come with several interruptions, a case that they literally stumble across while planning their wedding in Vermont and several interrupted make-out sessions but it exists... and how awesome is it to be part of that experience!
What I liked about this book: I love how Cameron Dane can suffuse several subplots into the main plot of the novel without losing track of any of them. Eventually, all of the subplots converge and become part of the main plot as easily and quickly as several rivers converge into the sea. You see the connecting tributaries between the subplots and when that river rages toward it's climax, it's explosive, exhaustive and... oh so damn good!
I can't tell you how much I love the Quinn Series! I'm hoping several characters get their own stories as well! But we're talking about Adam and Rhone! Their love is so intoxicating, it affects you as a reader as much as it would be if you were a physical bystander in their world. Every life they touch is forever changed and I love it when characters come to life in such a way that they forever stay within your psyche.
Summary: When Rhone Quinn caught Adam Reyes picking his pocket in Finding Home, he never dreamed the young man would become his best friend, his business partner, or that, as that friendship grew, Adam was secretly gay and falling for him. What really knocked heterosexual Rhone on his ass was discovering Adam’s feelings, and realizing he felt an equally fierce attraction and love for Adam.
Fast forward two years. Rhone and Adam are engaged and headed to Vermont for their wedding. Nothing can mar this beautiful occasion. Right?
Wrong. A bride staying at the hotel fuels Adam’s fears of losing Rhone to a woman; a feuding couple that Adam and Rhone run into every time they turn around sparks disagreements between them; and a hotel employee’s strange behavior spurs Adam’s professional curiosity and later rouses his protective juices.
What was supposed to be a week of celebration and hot lovin’ quickly turns into a Quinn Security investigation.
Now all Rhone and Adam need to do is get a bickering couple to admit they’re in love, help a sweet young man out of a terrible situation, and maybe, just maybe, Rhone can get his fella to the chapel on time to say “I do.”
Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, male/male sexual practices.

Excerpt: Rhone slammed Adam into the wall of their apartment and shoved his cock up his partner's ass. Adam cried out, and Rhone moaned as his lover's passage closed in tightly and suffocated his dick. Goddamnit, it felt good to finally fuck his man. Being rock hard during the long el ride home had nearly killed him. Once they made it inside the apartment, and Rhone tore Adam's clothes off and his own jeans down, he just couldn't hold off another second to get them to the bedroom.
I have to celebrate. And I don't want to do it with anyone except Adam.
Shoving a hand into Adam's dark, silky hair, Rhone yanked his head back and fused their mouths together in a searing kiss. He held Adam to him and pumped his prick through the snug embrace of Adam's hole. It felt like, with every deep in-stroke he made, Adam massaged each nerve ending in his cock. And on every shallow withdrawal, he licked Rhone's length with a million tiny tongues.
Christ. He's steaming and tight…and perfect.
Rhone breathed against Adam's cheek and worked hard to control the depth and pace of his fucking. He brushed his lips across Adam's jaw, met his gaze, and trembled. “What you do to me.” He pressed his forehead to his lover's and didn't look away from the intensity in his gaze as they made love. “I love you.”
“Love you too.” Adam's eyes burned dark as onyx, and he clamped his arms and legs even tighter around Rhone's shoulders and waist. He flicked his tongue into Rhone's mouth and branded him all over again with that split-second touch. “Now fuck me like you mean it, and make me come.”
Rhone held Adam to him, and his balls swelled just thinking about pounding Adam into oblivion. “Whatever you want.” He took a big stride in the direction of their bedroom, forgot he still had his jeans around his knees, and sent them both crashing to the floor.
Shifting just in time, Rhone took the brunt of the fall. With a grunt, Adam landed on top of him, straddling Rhone's hips and still riding his cock.
Shit.
“Are you okay?”
A chuckle escaped Adam. Then a smile hit his pretty lips, a twinkle made it look like the moon danced in his eyes, and his chuckle turned into a full-on belly laugh. He wiggled his ass on Rhone's dick and waggled his brow. “I think we stuck the landing. We're gonna get all tens from the judges for sure.”
Looking up at his partner's handsome face, Rhone shook his head with ease, but his chest constricted hard on the sight. “Stuff like that is why I fall for you more every day we're together.”
Fingers grazed lightly on Rhone's stubbly cheek and into his hair. “You are my world, Rhone.” Adam folded himself down on Rhone and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips. “Always will be.”
Damn it. “Ohhh fuck.” Rhone's balls squeezed hard, and he lost his shit. He dug his fingers into Adam's hips and drove up into his tight passage one last time. The pleasure of taking Adam overwhelmed him, and with a hoarse noise, Rhone unloaded his seed into Adam's ass, marking him deep inside.
Adam reared up with a gasp as Rhone filled him, and he quickly took his own cock in hand. With eyes closed, he tilted his head back and rode Rhone's dick with long, sure strokes. His sleek, muscular frame undulated in a wave of solid, olive-toned flesh, and the sight of it stole what little breath Rhone had left in his body.
“Christ, you are something special to see. Here.” Rhone spit in his palm, brushed Adam's hand aside, and circled his own around Adam's straining prick. Adam opened his eyes, and Rhone finished, “Look at me, baby, and let me help you come.”
Rhone started to pull on Adam's rigid length, and Adam bunched Rhone's jersey in his hands, immediately picking up the pace of his ride. “Oh yeah…” He bit his lip as Rhone alternated between jerking him off and tugging his nuts, and his chute rippled so damn much that Rhone's cock remained almost completely hard in Adam's ass. Adam groaned and whipped his seat back and forth on Rhone's penetration. “Harder, Rhone, harder.”
With a surge into a sitting position, Rhone bit Adam on the shoulder—and delivered his lover straight to heaven. Adam locked in place and then convulsed and spewed hot lines of cum onto Rhone's stomach. His channel milked Rhone with every tremor that went through his frame, and Rhone hissed as his prick mightily enjoyed the handshake.
The tension and trembling eventually left Adam's body. He gently pulled himself off Rhone's cock, leaned back on his elbows, and smiled in that sweetly wicked way he only did for Rhone. “Damn,” he said with a grin, “the Cubbies need to get into the postseason more often.”
“Amen to that.” Rhone laughed too, and he wondered how many people had gone home from that baseball game earlier tonight and fucked in celebration of the huge win. Rhone bared his teeth like a wolf and looked Adam up and down as if he were cornered prey. “Imagine what I'll do to you if they ever win the World Series.”
Adam groaned and covered his eyes with his hand. “Don't torment me with something you're never gonna be able to make happen.”

I adore Rhone and Adam! Like their love is so OTT! But in a good way lool! I just love it! Them getting married so sweet though it sucks that it was circa 08 and they couldn't get married in their state!! But damn like I felt their love it was sweet AF! Bordering on too sweet lol! OOOO! And the heat factor damn!
Weirdly enough I thought Adam would be the bottom in the relationship but it was pretty cool that it was Rhone!
Did I mention Cameron Dane really made it clear how much these two loved each other!

This was a sweet read surrounding the preparations leading to Rhone and Adam's wedding night. A couple of sub-stories thrown in for interest and you have an enjoyable story to add to this series.

It’s been two years since Rhone Quinn realized he was in love with Adam Reyes. Their relationship has gone through many changes over the years. They met when Rhone caught Adam trying to pick his pocket and since that fateful first meeting when Rhone offered Adam a job instead of turning him over to the police, Adam has become his business partner, best friend, and, to both their surprises, the love of the previously heterosexual Rhone’s life.
Now Rhone and Adam are in Vermont to get married, but everything is going exactly opposite to what the men had planned. A feuding soon-to-be-wed couple and a troubled hotel employee first prick Adam’s curiosity, then start wrecking havoc with his and Rhone’s relationship. They also force Adam to face his long-held fear: that of losing Rhone to a woman one day. Adam and Rhone have overcome a multitude of obstacles to wind up where they are, but will the ones they face now trip them up before they can walk down the aisle?
The chaos that always seems to surround weddings is amplified by intrigue and unvoiced fears in the fantastic Saying I Do. Cameron Dane shows readers what the after in “happily ever after” entails when the heroes from Finding Home do their best to make it to the altar in one piece. Having fallen in love with Adam and Rhone in Finding Home, I highly recommend reading that story before Saying I Do to feel the full emotional impact of the story, even though the author provides the necessary details to follow along in this book.
Adam and Rhone are both heroes that are easy to adore. They’re intelligent, protective, and deeply in love with one another. What I loved about Saying I Do was seeing that Adam didn’t just take Rhone’s newfound bisexuality for granted. Until just two years before, both men believed Rhone to be strictly heterosexual. The fact that Adam had fears of losing Rhone felt realistic to me, and I loved watching the heroes address his concerns and work it out to make their relationship all the stronger.
The subplots of Saying I Do were every bit as fascinating as the main storyline. However, I don’t want to spoil the book by giving away the details, so I’ll leave it to readers to be captivated as I was. I will say that Cameron Dane ended Saying I Do with a huge tease for the next Quinn Security book and left me desperately hoping that the next couple’s story is coming soon. All in all, Saying I Do was a wonderful, sexy tale that will make you sigh, blush, and beg for more from this phenomenal author.

In the first Quinn Security book, Adam, homeless and desperate, meets Rhone when he tries to pick his pocket. Rather than turning him over to the authorities, Rhone takes Adam in and gives him a home and a job. Adam quickly falls in love with Rhone; unfortunately, Rhone has never felt an attraction to another man. The two become best friends and the friendship blossoms into true love.
In Saying I Do, book 3 in the series, Dane moves Adam and Rhone forward a few years. The two are happily living and working together, but Adam wants more. He proposes to Rhone, who readily accepts. The two then plan a wedding at a beautiful resort in Vermont. While there awaiting their nuptials, these two caring men find another couple and a bellboy who need their help. Of course, they can���t resist anyone in need. They have to work hard to make sure the drama they become involved in doesn���t tear their own relationship apart.
Dane begins this book without any foreplay, literally! Since this is an established relationship, the book starts out with one of Dane���s characteristically hot love scenes along with her trademark sense of humor. The first line made me smile, and the final lines of the prologue gave me a good laugh. The author delivered everything that I wanted for this couple. Not only do they get their HEA, they help others and also reconcile with someone from one of their pasts. Dane infuses the story with the aforementioned humor and intimacy as well as with the angst and emotions that I love in a good romance novel. She also gives us some pretty strong hints about what to look forward to in the next Quinn Security novel, and I honestly can���t wait. When an author creates a group of people whom I adore, I���m one fan girl who has trouble being patient while waiting for the next installment in the series!

I read the first and gave it 1 star, but I don't like leaving stories unfinished when they have a sequel or are part of a series. I thought maybe the follow up would be better. It wasn't.
Straight away there's some random stranger letting another random stranger in on her private business. Would you ever spill your story out to someone you've just met? I don't think so. It was all so convenient the way the two MCs were just allowed into the random people's situation to form some semblance of a plot (which was a shitty attempt at plot btw, I wasn't at all interested or intrigued, and it was punctuated by too much sex- more on that later!)
The dialogue was so far past cringeworthy I got cramp in my jaw muscles. Two people just don't say this much flowery bullshit to each other constantly, unless they're teenage girls talking about their crush. Endless pages of how much they love each other etcetera. And similarly the endless pages of sex. I'm all for hot sex scenes but they surely made up 3/4 of the book- I remember one scene taking 7% of the whole book- just for one sex scene! That's quite a few pages, I skipped a LOT cos it just went on & on. I've said it before but I love CD's m/m stories such as the Cabin Fever series and a couple of other standalone ones, but Finding Home & this are seriously awful in comparison, and was a bit of a let down from the quality of pairings I've come to expect from CD. Needless to say I won't be recommending this one!

synopsis:
rhone and alex are getting married. unless something happens to disrupt the wedding, that is. they have to deal with a couple who don't seem to want to get married and a hotel employee who is being abused, not to mention the insecurities that come up in their relationship.
what i liked: i liked the fact that the relationship picks up a couple of years down the road; it seems more believable, and they've settled in to their togetherness. i like rhone and alex as a couple, and the insecurities that come with a straight guy being in love and in a relationship with a gay guy. i like that the insecurities are on both sides, that alex is scared rhone will wake up one day and decide he's straight again, and that rhone is scared that alex will decide that he wants to be with someone who is gay, and has been all along.
what i didn't like: the other obstacles thrown in their way, such as the hotel employee and the couple that called off their wedding, felt like gimmicks to stretch the story out. they didn't really advance or enhance the relationship or story.

I couldn't wait to read more about Rhone and Adam, so I skipped right past book #2 in the series and jumped into this one. There's nothing more romantic to me than two guys who find their "forever love" and want to make a commitment to one another! My romantic sweet tooth got its fill with this wonderful sequel:)
Not only did I get to follow up with two of my favorite characters in this book, but there were also a couple of secondary stories and characters that added some interest. One of those secondary stories ended up causing some angst between Rhone and Adam, but it also allowed them to deal with one of Adam's insecurities which seemed very necessary and realistic to me.
I intend to go back and read the second book in the series featuring Canin and Kasey, but I didn't feel like I had really missed anything too relevant by jumping ahead. I'm so glad to see there's a fourth book out now. I'm looking forward to reading it with eager anticipation!!

No plot. Just pages and pages of repetitive sex between Rhone and Adam who already had their book in Finding Home. The only 'event' is that involving a minor character, Wes, and his abusive relationship with the hotel concierge, Jared. Again, no development here, the scenes just dropped in when Rhone and Adam take a short break from sex. I skimmed through all the sex pages to get to parts that told the story. These couldn't fill a page.
I bought this book thinking it's where Logan and Nate, the MCs of the next book, Breaking Logan's Laws, meet but I was wrong. Both men only make a brief appearance towards the end of the book and don't even have any face time together.
To say I was disappointed with this installment is an understatement. On a good note, though: I started Breaking Logan's Laws last night and so far so good.

I was surprised to learn that the 2 main characters of the book are Rhone and Adam. I had put their story to rest in my mind after book one. They have a solid relationship now (even with the one small conflict that rears it's head towards the end but is quickly and easily resolved) so having them in focus seemed redundant.
The first half of the book felt like Rhone and Adam repeatedly telling each other they love one another, thinking how much they love one another, and making love to one another...it was a monotonous cycle that did not end for a bit and I got really bored really quick.
Once the few new players came into the game, Annie and Ford, Wes and Jared, it was slightly intriguing but still seemed to take a back seat to Adam and Rhone. Furthermore, it seemed superficial and plain.
My favorite part of the book was the not-so-subtle foreshadowing of what's to come in book 4.

I was happy to see that Cameron Dane wrote a sequel to Adam and Rhone's story and I wasn't disappointed by it, like it happens sometimes with sequels. This book was a bridge between the original characters we knew and loved from the first books and the future characters introduced to the series (Nate, Logan, Wes and Robert). What I found interesting was the fact that the author didn't feel the need to show us a perfect couple without problems or doubts.
Adam and Rhone were as sweet and cute together as ever, but Adam had doubts, not about his love for Rhone or Rhone's love for him, but about his heterosexuality. He was afraid that one day, Rhone would feel desire for women again. I thought it was clever of the author to stay realistic, because it was definitely a fear that would occur in real life.
At the end, I loved how Rhone managed to convince Adam that it was not about being hetero or gay, but it was about his feelings for Adam.

This was a nice sequel to Finding Home. Very good to "Check in" on the boys and see how they're getting along. The only thing that kept this from getting a fourth star is some of the repetitive sex scenes, "Oops, we haven't read the word seed in the past 25 pages, Better get those pants off!" Yeah, I enjoy reading about a good blow job as much as the next guy, but for such a short story there was just so much. I'll read the next book in series because it's what I do. I can't stand to think I might miss out on something good. The romantic parts were sweet and even brought a small tear here and there so this was readable. One thing I have to say I had trouble with was how easily the conflict was resolved between Adam and Rhone. I've been dumped by a Bisexual guy for a woman before and I know I'd never get over that feeling of waiting for the shoe to drop when he decides he's ready for a woman now. (Maybe I have a little less confidence than Adam.)
