Release Blitz, Excerpt & Review: Mature Content by Santino Hassell & Megan Erickson
Mature Content
By Megan Erickson and Santino Hassell
Cyberlove Series
Book 4
BLURB
My life plan is to be brutally honest all the way to the bank. Don't believe me? I run a popular YouTube channel called TrashyZane, and my claim to fame is oversharing about every aspect of my personal life. Sometimes while tipsy. Not everyone loves my style, but I have a long history of icing out people who can't handle me. I have no time for judgmental foolishness.
Except, apparently, when it comes to Beau Starr. His channel is the polar opposite of mine, and so is he. Wholesome, inspirational, and clean-cut. Everything about him should turn me off, but when we hook up following a confrontation at a convention, my world flips upside down. Not only does Beau Starr turn me on, he uses the exact combination of dirty talk and roughness needed to turn me out.
But we still hate each other. I think.

EXCERPT
“Look, if I go clean up are you going to run out the door?”
“Would it bother you if I did?”
Beau frowned. “If I say yes, is it guaranteed you’ll do it just to bother me?” My mouth twitched. He rocked against me. “I’m serious.”
“Fine.” I sighed exaggeratedly, like he was really hassling me. “I’ll stay for a few.”
“Good.” Beau stood up, and I was suddenly eye level with his taut, sculpted stomach. “There’s another bathroom in my bedroom. And…you can grab some shorts from the chest if you don’t want to sit around naked.”
I almost asked him what the hell we were going to be sitting around doing, but kept my mouth shut. He went to the bathroom between the living room and kitchen, and I explored the rest of his apartment while slathered in jizz. It was almost as nice as mine, but nowhere near as artsy. My grandmother had helped me furnish it after shopping at thrift stores and refinishing furniture, but Beau’s apartment was kind of like a showroom. Eerily perfect.
Either way, his bathroom was on point with the lighting and shower, so I jumped in quickly after tying my hair in a knot. I rinsed off, wrapped myself in a super-plush towel, and then snagged a pair of cut off shorts and a T-shirt that had his fucking face on it, which was too funny to not wear.
I waltzed out in my new outfit and found him on the phone with…a menu in his hand. Freezing, I fucked up my entrance and gaped when he waved it in my face.
“Do you like Mediterranean food?”
“Uh. What?”
Beau looked at me like I was an idiot. “Zane. Tell me what you want to eat.”
“Oh. Um. I don’t know. I don’t not like any foods.”
He rolled his eyes and rattled off enough food to feed an entire family. When it was done, and he told them to charge his account, he pointed at the shirt I’d procured.
“Just so you know, I didn’t have that made.”
“Uh-huh. But before I mock you relentlessly, why are you ordering food? Like, just because you’re trying to make up for being a dick doesn’t mean—”
Beau grabbed the front of the shirt and a ripping sound filled the room. He didn’t even pause. Just jerked me against him and kissed me so hard I lost my train of thought. Fuck, I lost my sense of self. Fell headfirst into the intensity of his kiss and then wrapped my arms around his neck because… I really could not get enough.
His soft lips were perfect, his tongue lashing at mine with such finesse my dick started to swell again. Especially when he tangled his hand in my hair and tugged just hard enough to make my knees weaken.
“Fuck me before the food gets here,” I blurted.
Beau pressed our foreheads together, panting against my face. “We just washed up. And I want to talk to you.”
“We can talk later.” Fuck, was I whining? I was whining. “Please, Beau?”
He squeezed his eyes shut, muttered a very clear fuck it, and then backed me into his bedroom. We were on his bed, clothes discarded, so fast my head was spinning with delight. How Beau Starr was the best kisser I’d ever been with was a mystery, but, damn, the guy’s tongue was magic.
REVIEW
5 stars for Mature Content!
Mature Content is the fourth instalment in the Cyberlove series and can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the whole series first or at least book three. This series became one of my favourite series since I fell in love with book one and it hasn’t disappointed me since. Mature Content was everything I wanted and more.
I don’t think I've ever read a character like Zane before and that made me love him even more. He was so real, he’s had enough of trying to please people especially his parents who slut shame him. Zane was such an interesting character, I loved how he wasn’t ashamed of what he liked in the bedroom and embraced it.
I loved Beau. He was so sweet and caring no matter what. He puts on this different persona when he’s filming videos for his youtube channel but even without that, he cares about the people he loves and does everything he can to make them happy.
The sex between these two is off the charts hot. Beau loves taking charge and Zane loves it when he’s told what to do. They both like it rough with hair pulling, dirty talk, begging and bondage and none of these scenes are safe for work!
Their road to a happy ending doesn’t come easy and they have to work for it. Both of them have their own reasons for being hesitant about their relationship. Beau is still getting over how his ex played him, he’s ashamed of his past relationship and how it still has a hold over him. After all the judgement and shaming that Zane has gone through he doesn’t trust easily which makes him try to keep the relationship just about sex.
I really loved this enemies to lovers story. I thought that these two were so perfect for each other. Their conversations via text or face to face had me laughing out loud as I was reading. Zane finally has someone who gives it right back to him.
I honestly LOVED this story and I'm in love with these characters, I think they’re going to stick with me.
I highly recommend reading this book, you won't regret it.
