Tricked into a wine country vacation with his best friend and his rival. In walks a virgin, and their love triangle is about to explode.

Mav Jones has a secret. He's desperately in love with his best friend, but the man is already married. And to one of Mav's ex-lovers, no less. When Mav gets invited to visit, he fears his desire won't stay locked down.

Then a cute, shy virgin walks into their midst, capturing everyone's attention. When all four of them wind up in bed, it leaves Mav feeling torn. Wanting anyone but his best friend feels wrong, but he can't deny how perfectly they all fit together.

But Mav's life is in another city. And when his dream career suddenly becomes possible, it'll mean walking away from these men for good.

Can Mav open his heart without losing everything?

Living in Zin is the first book in the Wine Country Daddies series. It features a lovesick book editor, a laid-back innkeeper, his sassy twink of a husband, and the neurodivergent trans boy who changes everything.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

G.R. Lyons stumbled into writing as a form of trauma recovery when traditional therapy wasn't working.

Then the story ideas just kept on coming.

Pulling from a vivid imagination as well as real-life experience as a trans man, a sexual assault survivor, and a person living with mental illness, Lyons has written multiple, interconnected series set within his fictional world of the Shifting Isles.

When not writing, Lyons can be found belly dancing around the house, studying anarcho-capitalist philosophy, buried in his never-ending TBR pile, or working out at the local CrossFit gym.

This is a spicy book full of secrets (that eventually come out) and it’s also filled to the brim with love. It’s an mm+ book with interesting characters, who care for one another.
It seems like the book was over way too fast but that’s ok. It’s a good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Zinfully Amazing!

I am amazed at writing, the characters, descriptions, scenery and the details, that were just the right amount. I was introduced to the series through book 2 and I just had to read the back story of the chat in this story. A completely different scenario and situation than I have ever read before but everything overlapped and folded together so nicely!

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised me … how much I like it.

I thought the premise of this books was interesting, but I suspected I would find it difficult to finish, because of the nature of the relationship. However, the absolute gentle affection that came through between these four characters won me over. If they were real people, I would wish them well and congratulate them for finding each other and forming this fascinating relationship. Good read.

I can’t rave enough about this book, and I’m kicking myself I took so long to read it! Ryder and his bunnies had me swooning, but the backstories of these men — and their growth — were what made this story so incredible. This is my third book from this author, and it will not be my last by a long shot. The steamy scenes were incredible, too, and the trans rep is so well done. Love, love, LOVE!

3.0 out of 5 stars Well-Written, Steamy Romance
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2021

This was well-written, had some great characters, had steamy scenes, and had a good plot. In some MMMM books the men blend together, but that’s definitely not the case here. They are all very different and realistic characters.

So why three stars? I just didn’t care for the main conflict in the story. Basically Mav has been in love with Beau for twenty years, and Beau has been married to Dakota for the past few years. However, it’s clear from almost the first page that Dakota and Mav have some type of history, and Beau has NO CLUE (the reader also doesn’t know all the details for quite some time). It just really annoyed me. This is a romance, and both the marriage and the friendship were really flawed to me because they were obviously lying to (or at least withholding information) from this man they both claimed to love. And it wasn’t for the his own good. Beau never gave any indication he would’ve been mad to discover they had a history. It just seemed very childish, and I felt angry at the characters over it.

Ryder in particular was an innocent, lovable character, and I’m left sort of thinking both he and Beau deserve better. Mav and Dakota get their stuff together by the end, but I was just soured by their early withholding of information. It was like a dark cloud over most of the book for me.

Mav and Beau have been friends since college. Now several years later Mav worked as an editor and Beau had a BNB with his husband Dakota. Both Mav and Dakota had secrets. Then Beau and Dakota decided to have an event and Mav was invited. At the same time a shy trans Ryder found himself as the fourth wheel. Their story had several twists and turns, but in the end it took them speaking up to mate things right.

I thoroughly enjoyed this look at how Beau and Dakota ended up with Mav and Ryder! There was a glimpse of them in another book I’d read, and their story turned out to be as good as I had hoped. Three of the characters have a history, and none of them are completely happy, but it takes Ryder to bring them together and to get them talking to each other. The romance is sweet and steamy, but I found their interactions to be sweet and loving and romantic, and their HEA was hugely satisfying!

Well written story and well developed characters! Maverick has been in love with Beau since they first met in college. But, Beau doesn't love him! Oh, he considers Mav his best friend. But he doesn't LOVE him! That is why, ever since Beau has gotten married, Maverick hasn't been to visit him.

Hätte ich geahnt wie gut dieser Teil der Reihe ist, ich hätte ihn vermutlich als ersten gelesen und nicht als vorletzten der bisher erschienenen Bände. Ich war direkt drin in der Geschichte und wäre am liebsten drin geblieben. Stimmige Charaktere, super zu lesen, nur leider damit auch viel zu schnell vorbei.

I absolutely adored this book. At first i wasnt sure what to expect, i'm not sure i've read anything from this author before and when catching a teaser for it online having four main characters seemed confusing and kind of put me off. That being said I wanted to give all the books in the destination daddies serise a go and well I wasn't disappointed. Each of the four main characters had their own clear voice and not once did i feel lost or confused. Even the teaser scene made complete sense; i guess i just needed more context. The story progressed well and the main characters came together in a way that just felt inevitable. Overall a really thoroughly enjoyable easy read that I definitely recommend.

Best friends to lovers, second chance, first time, MMMM Bi, Trans, Gay romance with a HEA. Easy to read page-turner with low angst but lots of steam. Likeable characters that I was rooting for from the beginning, once they are all honest with each other they are able to finally be open about what they really want. Thoroughly enjoyed reading their story, make sure to read the bonus story afterwards as it just gives that added extra bit of 'Awwww'.
