First Loser (Cubs for Rent Book 1) Kindle Edition

Same situation. Different man. It’s a beautiful mess.

After falling for a male escort, and losing him through his own stupidity, Henry meets Tanner. Tanner is tall, dark, and handsome. He’s also young, wealthy, and doesn’t need Henry at all. But Henry is right back in the same boat he’s been in for years, paying someone half his age to spend time with him. Even though Tanner keeps refunding his money, Henry can’t let himself believe Tanner wants him for real. His mistrust is making him miserable, but Henry doesn’t know how to stop.

As one owner of Cubs for Rent—a company that rents men for dates, repairmen, or simply for company, Tanner doesn’t need anyone to take care of him. When he met Henry, Tanner’s only intention had been to get the man out of his friend’s hair. Then, Henry kept calling and booking time with Tanner. Tanner kept accepting and feelings he didn’t want grew. Henry is sweet and insecure. He’s gentle and awkward. Henry is everything that Tanner finds irresistible. It’s too bad Henry is also too blind to see Tanner’s interest as real, because Tanner is tired of trying to convince him.

When Tanner pulls away and meets someone his age, Henry will have to come out of his shell and step up his game. Hopefully, he’s not too late.

**Please note** Cubs for Rent is a Sugar Daddies' spin-off and is best enjoyed when read in order.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Read!!

I loved reading First Loser(Cubs for Rent Book 1). All about Tanner Kodiak who is twenty-five part owns Cubs for Rent with his two brothers Toby & Tucker they are triplets and Henry Krill who is fifty-two a very wealthy billionaire who uses their service business a lot. The triplets own a business called Cubs For Rent it’s a company that employs guys of all ages that will do things with you. Such as go to a sporting event, play golf with you, go to the movies with you all for a small fee. The author wrote a book about a man in his mid fifties who is uber rich and very lonely. He wants to find somebody who will love him for himself, not what he can do for you! Read about Tanner & Henry and see if they can get out of each other’s way for them to finally realize they are good together and that life sometimes throws you a life-line and you need to reach out and grab it, with both hands!! I really enjoyed reading about Tanner & Henry and meeting his brothers. I can’t wait to read book 2!!!

...about a book by this author. Each and every one has its own vibe, it's own energy, and each and every one hauls me along for the ride and leaves me with a smile. Unfortunately I'm bad about leaving reviews. I`ve know this about myself as a reader and have no justifiable excuse. Tonight though I caught myself smiling after the last page and excited for the next book. A good moment to decide to be better at leaving reviews. Charity, thank you for all the vibes, energy and smiles!

Tanner has a horrific past! Henry is wealthy but has never been happy. Saving Henry from the embarrassment of chasing Legend who is in love with Yaro and Pytor, Tanner whisks him away. One night is all it took for these two to realize there was something between them. Tanner and Henry are beautiful together. They have found the other half of their soul in each other. Two broken souls find a love they never could have imagined.

First book in the spin off series and it doesn't disappoint. Tanner was only meant to distract Henry. Fate had other plans. These two have darkened past. However learning to overcome them is the true test. These two were made for each other. Such a good book with wonderful characters. Gray is on of my faves. I like the spunkiness of Tucker and Toby.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a Favorite
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2019

I’m a huge fan of Charity’s books, but this one was definitely not one of my favorites.

Tanner’s character seemed off. Sometimes he felt immature and I always felt like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. He’s got this really sad backstory, that we only catch a glimpse of and I’m sure more will come out as I read the other two brothers stories, but I’m used to more heartbreaking details of the characters pasts. Especially from this author. She’s so good at drawing us into each character with the history of their dramatically pasts. I don’t think she gave me enough of Tanner’s past to really feel for him and fall in love with him.

I thought his book was lacking the emotion the author was writing. For example, the bedroom scenes, you’re reading how much they love each other and how hot they are for each other but then nothing, the scene was over short and sweet. I prefer more details. I think it draws more compassion to the characters and helps make their love for each other more believable.

I feel sad giving this book only three stars when all Charity’s books have been 5 star quality for me. I hope I feel the connection with the other brothers I was missing from Tanner.

Fun, fast-paced romance with the right amount of drama to hold it together. So happy to see Henry get his HEA. It was also nice to see Legend and his men make a guest appearance. This author makes some good, quick reads that are perfect when I'm short on time or don't have the patience for a full book. Next please!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A really great series with unique, interesting characters
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2020
I read the series through book 8 as a Kindle Unlimited subscriber.

I think this book is a good start to this series but the books that follow this one are even better. This is a sweet romance between Tanner and Henry who are people with their own baggage. A quick read and a nice feel-good HEA at the end. The series begins with the romance of the three brother-owners of Cubs For Rent and continues onto other characters as they appear in each book.

There are a few things I really love about this series. The first one is that you are always introduced to the characters in the next book so you are already wondering how their story will turn out. Another aspect of this series that grabbed me was that there are a few 'redemption' stories in this series. I like it when the bad guy can be redeemed.

Many of the books have one or both of the main characters experiencing unrequited love, which can be angsty but this series does a great job with it. All the characters are far from perfect and all of them are struggling with all kinds of emotional and sometimes physical limitations and baggage. Each book has a unique feeling about it so that you don't feel like you are reading the same story over and over. I'm guessing book 8 was the last of this series and I'm sad about that because I really love the characters in this universe. They are all very different and their intimate encounters are unique as well.

I gave it four stars instead of five because I would have liked more in-depth character development and would have enjoyed longer reads with more interaction of the main characters in both intimate and non-intimate situations. That is just a personal preference, though.

I enjoyed reading these books and recommend all the books in this series.
