Johannes Lux has spent years protecting his heart behind the walls of his profession. As a licensed sex worker in the magical, atmospheric streets of Vienna, he has seen enough heartbreak to last a lifetime. He craves a genuine connection, yet he is convinced he is unworthy of the very love he provides to others. When a former flame re-enters his life, Johannes is pushed toward a chance encounter that promises to shatter his solitude forever.
Maximilian and Konstantin are two powerhouse weightlifters who have spent years feeling like incomplete halves of a whole. After losing their best friend to another, they have settled for a life of shallow encounters, but their souls are still searching for the missing piece of their triad. When they meet the guarded, grumpy Johannes, the chemistry is instantaneous, sparking a connection that feels both inevitable and terrifyingly real.
This enchanting paranormal romance masterfully blends magical realism with the sweetness of a second-chance journey. As these three men navigate their past wounds, they must learn to trust again to build the home they have always deserved. Perfect for fans of MMM stories, this heartfelt tale proves that even those who have been burned by love can find their forever in the most unexpected places.

I have enjoyed this series. Max and Konni were introduced in the previous books but this book tells more about them. For some reason I find that very satisfying. )

This is a sweet MMM story with some character types we don’t often see. A sex worker pinning for a long-term partner and two bodybuilders searching for a third. All of them have been burned by love before which is how Max and Konni find themselves hiring Johannes to give them what they need without the fear of rejection and loss. What none of them expect is to just fit. It doesn’t take long for them all to grow attached and realize they want more than just the arrangement. Max and Konni are...

Johannes, is book 4 in the Sky Nymph series by Charlie Godwyne. This series is not so much of a spinoff from the author's six book magnum opus, Augarten, as it is a continuation.

I have several favorite authors, for different reasons, and Godwyne is most certainly one of them. As I age (by the way...aging is highly...

I debated giving this book three stars because I didn’t feel a deep connection was formed between the 3 men outside of the bedroom. Compared to the first three books in the series, this seemed very “wham, bam, I love you man”. The love between Max and Konni formed over their lifetime and was very easily felt throughout the book. But, it sounded like they would have loved anyone who stuck around and let themselves be spoiled. Although the word spiritual appears in the description of the book, I...

This is a good story. I am a little iffy on the whole Catholic/Christian bit and had to overlook that part due to some pretty heavy church trauma. Although anyone in the church I knew would have a fit and claim heresy over the whole blessed magic thing, not to even mention being gay. But it is sorta possible to ignore that part of the story. This is more about Johannes realizing that he is actually worthy of being loved and allowing those feelings to develop for Max and Konni. Those two so...
