Publisher's summary

Volumes one, two, and three of the Upending Tad series.

Loser Takes All

Tad's weekend started out like any other; hitting a college frat party with a handful of buddies. But just as the evening hits its peak, things get up-ended fast. Ditched by his drunken, trolling friends, Tad winds up getting hustled by three jocks playing poker. Now, he's forced to pay his dues in the most outlandish of ways by spending an hour with his victors' favorite flogger, Scott. But the guy's tantalizing torture quickly proves to be the least of Tad's worries and the kickoff to a night of raw, shocking lust. Experience the graphic, minute-by-minute account of that hour spent at the hands of Tad's insatiable tormentor. Addicting chemistry lights the stage as Scott ignites Tad's reluctant desires into a frenzy of forbidden need.

Test of Endurance

The last time Tad saw Scott, the ripped physical trainer left him with quite a lot to think about. At his wit's end, he seeks Scott out, voluntarily, on his own terms. Will the completely different setting offer what he's seeking; proof that their exchange's unexpected turn was just a random mishap? Or will being in Scott's presence suggest something different....

Sideline Submission

Round two with Scott hadn't been what Tad expected, but it did end up providing a few important realizations. That crazy first encounter was definitely more than mere male hormones. Which meant he felt a true attraction to the guy. Something that explained his defenselessness against Scott's smoldering charms. So Tad had resolved to cope with his findings the only logical way he knew how: purge the guy from his system by staying away for good. Unfortunately, that proved way more uncomfortable than he'd anticipated. So when Scott unexpectedly seeks him out, Tad's too drained to fight his turmoil any longer. He agrees to hang out, not knowing Dom boy Max will end up part of the deal.

Warning: Erotic romance. Contains explicit gay sex. Intended for mature audiences.

Kora Knight & Michael Pauley? YES PLEASE!

The audiobook edition of Up-ending Tad, Bundle 1 by Kora Knight includes the first three stories of Up-ending Tad: A Journey of Erotic Discovery #1-3 and is read by Michael Pauley. If you enjoyed reading this series as I did, then you’ve got to give the audio version a try. If you’re prepared to have your mind blown, then by all means dive right in!

Hot, hot, smokin’ hot, and if I haven’t stressed it enough, this story is HOT. This is erotica of the finest quality; add in adorable way these two guys fall for each other, and Up-ending Tad is one of the most enjoyable series out there.

Kora Knight has these two characters down. Both guys are kinda macho, and when they get all nervous, “gosh, does he really like me?” my heart just melts. Scott’s seduction and Tad’s acquiesce work perfectly together, and I was rooting for them from the get-go.

One of my all time favorite narrators, I never doubted that Michael Pauley was going to rock this one. There’s a reason I call him a virtuoso of erotica, he adds more to a love scene than anyone else I know. Pauley has a keen ability to really understand the characters and where a story is going. He doesn’t over-act, just keeps it sexy and builds the tension sloooowly till it reaches the inevitable pinnacle we’re all waiting for.

There’s so much to love about the audiobook version of Up-ending Tad. This is pure down and dirty erotica, with the sweetest gay-for-you romance blended in. Whether you’re a fan of the books like I am, or discovering this series for the first time, the combination of Kora Knight’s beautiful writing and Michael Pauley’s gorgeous voice is going to give you hours of pleasure.

awesome

I liked that when Tad lost at cards he actually won, but he didn't realize it right away. The first book was an erotic venture intro into BDSM for Tad and I thoroughly loved it. I liked seeing the bond starting between Scott an Tad. In book two I loved hearing Tad trying to convince himself he's straight, but he's still drawn to Scott. Book three Tad's inner struggle continues. I totally enjoyed the voyeur room experience. My caliente! I love that Tad is starting to come to terms with his sexuality. I can't wait to continue this series and watch the relationship develop. I voluntarily listened to an audible of this bundle and am giving my honest opinion. Totally loved it.

Amazing

I'm pretty new to audio books, but I know this one will be a tough act to follow: Kora Knight did a fantastic job with Tad's character and his discovery of love and sexuality and Michael Pauley's interpretation of it adds facets to the characters and their interactions that are simply spot on. And his voice for Scott is really so, so sexy..
Definitely recommended!

Upending Tad Volumes 1,2,3

These books are the beginning of Tad and Scott’s adventure. A simple bet turns Tad’s world upside down. He agrees to take his punishment and with that he meets Scott. Soon Tad finds his emotions in a whirlwind. He does not know what to do. Scott is there to help him along the way and it seems that the attraction goes both ways, but can Tad find a way to understand his new feelings and is he strong enough to act on them?

I enjoyed these first three books in this series. Tad and Scott are both strong characters. Each one is endearing in their own way. The two men have a connection and are hot together. It was nice to see Tad begin his journey and learn about himself. Scott is a good man who is willing to wait and fight for Tad. As Tad’s self confidence grows it was nice to see the trust between the two men grow. Their relationship is building, and I am eager to see how strong it will be in the end. Narrator Michael Pauley does a good job of giving Scott and Tad life and quickly had me immersed into their story.

Super hot story with amazing narration. Loved it!

This is by far the hottest story I’ve ever read!! So incredibly erotic. What a sensual, passionate feast of edging and slow seduction. I loved it!
And lucky me, I started out with the audio-book! I thought my phone was going to catch fire from Michael Pauley's incredible performance. I already knew he was good, but oh man… He makes these two characters come alive and acts them out with such conviction. The steamy scenes are a pleasure to listen to (boy are they ever), but I also very much enjoyed Michel Pauley’s take on their quieter moments and the laughter the characters share.

The dub-con element in the first part of the story was really well written, in such a way that Scott actually comes across as an extremely likable, stand-up guy, as well as making the story super steamy. The build-up of not only sexual tension but also of trust and liking between the two MC’s is expertly done.

Tad has a very difficult time coming to terms with his attraction to Scott. He’s so conflicted, I really felt for him. His inner struggle and his longing for Scott and how he makes Tad feel are a big part of what make this story so captivating and intense. Scott is so patient and understanding with Tad, and at the same time gently persuasive in the best way. They are so amazing together.

What really took this to the next level for me was the obvious deeper connection that starts to grow between Scott and Tad very early on, however subtly described. The little things that betray their joy at being together, the hurt when they try to stay away, the angst ... I was so relieved when Scott finally started to push Tad for more in part 3 and didn’t let him hide from his feelings anymore.
That was (again) so hot… and unexpectedly sweet.

Can’t recommend this enough.

BDSM Discovery

This was a non-stop ride of personal discovery. I loved the whole story, but I’m not sure if it would’ve been nearly as good without Michael Pauley’s enthusiastic narration. Highly recommend.

Even better on audio

I have read this series a number of times. When I was given the opportunity to listen to it I must say that it gave me a whole new love for the talent of Kora Knight! And don't get me started on the voice of Michael Pauley! They brought to life one of the most sexy, hot and captivating stories I've listened to. Even though I had just finished a reread of this series days before I received the audiobook I was overwhelmed by the heat between Tad and Scott. Having listened to this while sitting poolside on vacation I must say that the heat of the sun was nothing in comparison. Can't wait to finish listening to the rest of the series!

This story will stick with you!

Though this book has a lot of 🔥 scenes, the story of love that grows between the main characters is beautiful. The amazing narration by Michael Pauley/Dean brings Tad & Scott (along with many side characters who stores are told in spin-offs) to life. It takes an amazing book and makes it blazing!

👏🏽 Amazing 👏🏽

I absolutely loved it. it's so so so freaking hot 🔥 🥵 🔥👬💑 I don't know why it took me so long to dive in.
I can't wait to continue their story.

🙏🏽 do not listen to this story in front of children or adults with a weak heart. 🙄

Seriously erotic!

Omgoodness! Sometimes I'm just in the mood for some seriously hot erotica. These books never disappoint. I read them all individually as they came out, and I actually own a signed copy of the whole bundle of all the books.

Book one: Looser Takes All
Almost two hours of one extremely hot sex scene. With a bit of BDSM overtones, purely hot and raunchy sex. Tad still hasn't looked closely at his life, so the conflicting emotions are a bit overwhelming.

Book two: Test of Endurance
More to the story in this one, until Tad decides to put his conflicting emotions to the test. Both he and Scott are surprised by their lack of control after an innocent interaction. Things once again turn scorching, but without the BDSM aspect... well, unless you consider edging a part of that world.

Book three: Sideline Submission
A month has passed, and Tad has been fighting with himself over what he has been learning about himself, both from his life before, and his current predicament with Scott. Again, they arrange an innocent meeting. Tad is filled with sexual tension, but makes it through, even hoping for more. Enter Max; Scott's best friend and roommate, the true Dom of the household. He interrupts their plans by asking them to play the roles of voyer for one of his scenes. Throughout the scene, the sexual tension between Tad and Scott escalates to a fevered pitch. One thing leads to another, and again, we get a seriously hot sex scene; only this time there are emotions involved. Unfortunately, we get some serious foreshadowing about Max, not only at the end, but also when they first arrive at the house.

I wanted to own this bundle, because it has been a while since I have read the books, and I knew Michael Pauley would do an amazing job in his performance. I could have listened to this through the Romance Package, which I had not realized until I had already requested to review the audiobook. But I am so glad that I did. Mainly because I will now own both volumes.

Happy Listening!
