More Than My Words (Guarding The Gods Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Ann Lister (Author), Kellie Dennis (Illustrator), Lisa Cullinan (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 234 ratings
Mason Foxworth has spent the last several months recovering from injuries he received doing personal security while on tour during the horrific fire in Germany. He'd been hitting his stride professionally when he fell through the floor that night, and now his life had been reduced to weekly appointments with physical therapists and various doctors while everyone else around him seemed to have moved on.

He felt useless and alone, and the worst part of it, the physical scarring left behind on his legs from the burns had ruined his self-esteem. Who would want him now, when he was so damaged inside and out and he had nothing much to contribute? He didn't have a lot of friends and his co-workers felt it was safer to keep Mason at a desk in the office doing paperwork, rather than out in the field doing security. Mason wanted to get that status changed before he lost the last threads of his sanity, and the main obstacle in his way was a bum leg that was taking far too long to heal.

Tessler is an enigma in the sci-fi literary world. A young, reclusive author, known for the mystery swirling around him, he realizes he's lost any real joy in his life when he suddenly starts to feel the strange emotion pumping through his veins. Barely beyond the age of twenty-five and he's already made more money than most see in a lifetime, but Tessler feels empty within himself and also inside his two-story, meticulously renovated warehouse in the burbs of Los Angeles. What made him this way must remain the mystery it is, or he feels he'll lose the empire he's created. But meeting a man he feels could bring all his pieces together is challenging his reasons for anonymity and Tessler suddely finds himself wanting more from life and from himself.

Mason wants his life back and Tessler is just looking to have a real life. Can two vastly different men find a way to smooth out their hard edges and blend their lives to offer the one ingredient neither has: love? Personal growth comes in many different shapes and Mason and Tessler have a mountain of it to climb in order to find their HEA.

After graduating art school, marrying, and raising two daughters, she established her own video production company. Her nearly two decades working in video production included work within the music industry and won her a coveted Telly Award. Her 'behind-the-scenes' exposure to the music world and her love of rock music is the inspiration for her erotic rock star romances.

The Rock Gods series gave her Bestselling Author status on Amazon. Beyond The Music, Book 7 in the series, hit #1 in the Gay Erotica genre during the Pre-Order and held that spot for several weeks. This last book in The Rock Gods series launches the spin-off series, Guarding The Gods, which releases in early Summer of 2016.

Fall For Me, Book One in the series was a Finalist in the 2013 Rainbow Award. Each book in this series brings her two favorite elements together: musicians and the love between two men. These stories focus on what it truly means to love; love unconditionally, love without restrictions or labels, love without fear or judgment – to just simply love.

    Bravo, Ann Lister, Bravo!!! Tessler was a wonderful, beautiful, some times naughty man who is a great addition to the series. Mason, our always quiet hero, needed someone to shake his tree. Mason is a fantastic character and I think it's absolutely fitting that an EXTRAORDINARY author took him down. This story was everything I hoped it would be and more. Thank you Ann, for another compelling, adventurous love story.

    APPRECIATION AND THANKS

    Thank You for your dedication of this book and future books to our beloved Sandrine Gasq-Dion. I feel that in this, we lost a once in a lifetime talent and a beautiful, precious friend. No I didn't know her personally, but I did know and will mourn all the beautiful characters she created for us. The worlds she built to give us somewhere to go, where good conquered evil, you could live, laugh and love. Her characters and stories meant the world to me and I know many others.

    I want to take this opportunity to let you know Ann Lister, that you and your characters are just as PRECIOUS. You have given us a look at the music industry that I never would've even considered. ie The grueling touring, meet and greets, over zealous fans and so on. This series is taking us into another world that I could have no clue about. A new world to escape into, because sometimes, the real world we live in NOW, is too unbelievable to comprehend. Thank you, bless you and know that I appreciate all your hard work. Great Big Squeezy Sue Hugs. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND THIS INCREDIBLE SERIES!!!!!!

    I simply started reading this woman because she was tied in with Sandrine Gasq Dion and her Rock series. Every mention of Ann's Rock Gods had me drooling for this books. I broke down and bought them and I was not disappointed. I loved every book I've read so far from Ann Lister and this book took my love of her work higher. If you haven't read this series or her other works you should definitely pick them up. Loved this storyline.

    Well written , as usual. The dynamic between Tessler and Mason is sizzling. Mason, enduring rehab, following that awful fire, has PTSD and self image issues. Tessler has a past he would rather forget. An accidental meeting has them exploring the possibility of more. Then the past comes back to haunt Tessler. Loved it and love this series. Characters are well rounded, storyline is solid.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Needed more plot and character/relationship development
    Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2018
    I love books featuring bodyguards and I normally love this author’s books, but this was not one of my favorites. The potential was there for a really interesting, emotional story — both Mason and Tessler had some baggage and some things to work through, but instead it jumped almost immediately to sex, sex and more sex. I feel like the plot was practically non-existent and that about 95% of the story was sex. There was only an extremely minimal bodyguard aspect to the story at the very end and other than that there was no action and because they jumped into sex so quickly and then that seemed to be about the only thing they ever talked about other than a quick personal revelation here and there, I didn’t really feel any romance in the story either; it didn’t feel like they developed a relationship—they didn’t do anything together or spend any significant time together other than sex or talking about sex. When we were first introduced to Tessler and his mysterious 3 identities I thought that was going to be an interesting part of the story and I was looking forward to seeing how the story unfolded and who these 3 identities were and why they were important and why it was important to keep them so secret, but even that was a huge let down — there was nothing important about these secret identities and the reason for keeping them secret just wasn’t that important — especially his real identity and his sci fi identity. If you love a lot of sex in your books and don’t care too much about a substantial plot than you’ll probably really like this book, but if you’re like me and prefer a book that focuses on a really good story and the sex scenes are just a complement of that, then this probably isn’t the book for you. On a nitpicky note, the name Tessler drove me nuts — I wouldn’t take away any stars over something as trivial as a name, but for some reason I found the name really annoying—it just sounded so pretentious and was a ridiculous choice for someone who wanted to keep a low profile and it made no sense that he would use his pen name as his primary name — if he didn't want to be recognized or bothered he wouldn’t use his ridiculous well known, no last name name is his day to day life; he would have used his given name in his day to day life and his pen names only when writing.

    Ann Lister is an amazing author who’s love stories just can’t be ignored. I’ve read and absolutely loved The Rock Gods Series and now Guarding The Gods is a fantastic follow on. This story between Mason and Tessler manages to make you feel so much for both characters. Mason with his physical issues and Tessler with his personality issues. Together they navigate their own pathway to a vey sexy, hopeful, trusting and loving relationship.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I have a special place in my heart for this series
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 28, 2018

    I have a special place in my heart for this series. The guards that have The Rock Gods backs are turning out to be just as beautiful with a burning passion that sets the pages alight.

    Mason Foxworth was severely burnt while protecting The Rock Gods during their time on tour. He’s determined to get back on his feet and return to work. Whilst Doctors believed his leg to be too damaged, Mason wouldn’t let it stop him from living his life just as he always had. With pure grit and determination Mason fights everyday to take back his life.

    Tessler an Author with an alias, well…. I know a few of them. It seems that Authors tend to write under different names when delving into other genres. There is an air of mystery about him that definitely needs to be uncovered. They do say it’s always the quiet ones to watch out for. Like many people has a past, his a little more colourful than most.

    I’m looking forward to reading Tessler’s journal to find out exactly what, how and when he did the things he has spoken about. It sounds highly erotic, a little on the naughty side, but who doesn’t like a little bit of naughty?

    Mason strikes up a friendship with Tessler, actually I’m not sure who befriends who first. I think it’s both. The first introductions are always the worst. Poor Mason who is normally a self assured man isn’t coming off all that well put together.

    Tessler’s past catches up with him in the form of his ex agent. The man sounds vile and needs to crawl back under the rock he came from. Mason goes into protective mode, but Tessler isn’t about to be pushed around either.

    With two hotties steaming up my kindle it was constantly plugged into the mains until the story was over. Mason and Tessler are just as delicious as the cover suggests.

    This story was well worth the wait and I looked forward to reading so much more from this Author.

    One of my all time favourite series, More Than My Words does not disappoint. After being badly injured during a fire, Mason is feeling broken. Unable to do the job he loves, he spends most of his time with appointments to see doctors, therapists & physical therapists.
    Tessler loves being an author but in order to protect himself he hides away, living only a half life. When these two men meet sparks fly but is their connection strong enough to overcome their pasts and forge a life together.
    I thoroughly recommend this book.
