Nothing Ventured
When Aiden agrees to run the Mad Mucker—a twelve-mile muddy slog over an obstacle course—he’s expecting it to be a bit of a laugh. The training will be tough, but Aiden could use the motivation to regain some fitness.
Matt is the sexy cousin of one of Aiden’s coworkers and a last-minute addition to the team. When he agrees to train with Aiden, Aiden suddenly finds the prospect of regular workouts a lot more appealing.
Soon attraction flares, and they embark on an intense physical relationship. Matt doesn’t want to fall in love with a man, and Aiden doesn’t want to fall in love at all, but despite their insistence on no strings, they grow closer. As the day of the race approaches, time is running out for them to work out how they feel about each other.

I was so excited to receive an ARC for this book
as I am a huge fan of Jay Northcote, I
was the envy of a couple of my friends.
I love reading and supporting authors from the UK, being from the UK myself, I can totally understand the English sayings and slang that
is used.
Now onto the book.....
Where do I start? We have all been in a position where you have
been out on the lash and got so out of your face that everything seems like a
good idea at the time and this was totally true for Aiden. On a night out with Liv, his best friend and
colleague, who not only had his Tequila head; he had also agreed to take part in the
Mad Mucker.
No stranger to a bit of exercise, he used
to play Rugby but an injury forced him to stop playing. He was out of the
habit of running and after a puncture on his bike stopped him cycling to work causing his
exercise regime had taken a nose dive. I mean who doesn't have excuses for
avoiding exercise. Liv thinks that
Aiden needs a training partner.
Enter Matt
Matt is the very gorgeous cousin of Liv who
has just returned from Australia after breaking up with his girlfriend.
Disappointed that this hunk of a man was
straight he decided what the hell he needed help and this man was willing to help
him.
Training commenced
After a particular run and mud wrestle Aiden
offers Matt to use his shower where whilst standing in a towel watching Aiden dress Aiden
realises Matt is not as straight as he thought.
Training becomes more appealing as the warm
downs get very hot.
Its not all training hot sex and sunsets as
Matt is not "Out" to anyone close to him and makes it clear to Aiden
that this is a training partner-with-benefits with no strings.
Aiden likes this idea as he doesnt do
relationships
Can Aiden and Matt keep the Training partner-with-benefits
agreement or will they break their rules for each other?
