Book of the week!

roomsOne kiss tore them apart. Will a second bring them back together?

Knox Townsend can hardly believe it when he walks into Playgroundz Café to find his old high school crush, Trevor Channing, working the cash register. Once upon a time, the two shared a smoldering, passionate kiss while their prom dates were passed out … and never spoke of it again. Now Knox is back in town for the next week to upgrade the café’s coffee machines. But the only thing he really wants to upgrade are his feelings for Trevor, long simmering and now reignited. This time, hopefully for good!

Trevor hasn’t seen Knox since he left town right after graduation without so much as a backward glance. Suddenly he’s Trevor’s boss and staying at the same hotel where they’d shared their first, and only, kiss. One of the front desk clerks is Trevor’s regular customer and, for a few gift cards, Trevor checks into the room next door to Knox’s. The room with the adjoining doors he plans to keep unlocked all week, just in case!

ground upMason

Always have an exit strategy. That’s how I’ve lived my life for ten years, and so far things are going just fine. I know better than to get into a situation without knowing exactly when and how to get out. I don’t do commitments; not jobs, not social plans, and most definitely not relationships. I learned the hard way how bad the alternative can be.

Jackson

I’ve spent the last five years running from loneliness, and I’ve done a damn fine job. Now I’m ready to put down roots and make a home, somewhere other than Hollywood. I think I’ve found the right place, and I thought I found the right person. But I’m not sure I’m ready to burn all my bridges behind me, and I’m afraid that might be the only way I can prove how important he is to me.

From The Ground Up is a steamy M/M romance featuring hurt/comfort and sexual awakening themes. You’ll also find an A-list movie star, a sweet contractor, beautiful homes, loveable family, and of course a happy ending. Book One of the Hot Dam Homes series.

My monster grieves, and I ache for him.

But blood isn’t thicker than water, and found family is everything.

Valentine’s Day deals!   

tamingTristan:
I’m a trouble-maker.
Everyone at the club knows I don’t kneel on command.
So what?

I’ve never met a man who’s worthy of my full surrender. I’m bored of all the wannabes who think they can expect perfect obedience without proving themselves first.

But if I don’t play nice, I’m gonna get banned from the scene.

And that’s when I meet Seth, the one guy who might have a chance at bringing me to my knees.

Seth:
I’m not interested in a relationship. I like it hard, fast, uncomplicated.

But then a Hollywood producer and his plaything bet me I can’t tame a notorious trouble-maker by Valentine’s Day.

I can’t refuse—not when it comes with the promise of big money when I win. I’ll be able to pay off my family’s debts.

Tristan Taylor is an enticing gamble. Whip-smart, big blue eyes, cheeky as they come. I like a challenge. I’ll bring out Tristan’s primal needs.

I’ll make him beg. I’ll make him obey. I’ll make him kneel…

But it’ll take more than one night to train Tristan, and each session leaves me wanting something more.

Something I wasn’t prepared to gamble on.

Taming Tristan was meant to be a bet. I never thought I’d wager my heart.

Taming Tristan is a standalone romance novel with humor, more than a dash of angst, and Rock-Meets-Hard-Place kinky fun. HFN/HEA guaranteed, and no cliffhangers.

Only $0.99 at Amazon/Apple/Google/Smashwords/Kobo/Barnes & Noble


lensTwo romances. Two stories. Two timelines. Two mysteries solved.

Digging into history can turn deadly.

Wyatt Harig and his partner Vladimir ‘Val’ Mihalic are busy planning their wedding when Wyatt’s old friend asks him to investigate the mysterious death of her uncle, Tom Manning, in a fire back in 1927. Back then men were silent, tough, and expected to marry nice girls.

Working with Val, Wyatt digs up clues uncovering the truth behind the tragedy. When Tom met Philip in a speakeasy outside Cleveland, Ohio the spark between them was instantaneous. They fell hard and fast for each other. However, with Philip working as a beat cop and Tom as a schoolteacher, their relationship being discovered meant the end of everything.

As the story of Tom and Philip slowly reveals itself, and Wyatt and Val realize nothing is as simple as they originally believed. While their trail heats up, an old enemy of Wyatt’s decides he’s waited long enough for revenge. Wyatt’s life before meeting Val catches up with him and the results could prove fatal.

Tags: History can be a murder. Men in love in 1927. Who will win the races? Wyatt is a BAMF. Wyatt and Val plan a wedding! Age gap. Secret meetings. No one hurts Val! School teacher and cop stop a killer.

angelSince the moment he picked up his first guitar, Dez Conway dreamed of being a Rockstar. A multi-talented musician with the ability to play the electric violin, electric cello and even the bass, he’d be an asset to any group of musicians, if only the bands who’d hired him over the years had truly thought that way. Instead, he’s singing for the dishes in an upscale restaurant, bitter, pissed off and unwilling to entertain the offer to replace the front man of the world-famous Deviant Angels because why the hell would they be any different than the guys who’d kicked him to the curb in the past? Only…they’re not the Deviant Angels, their longtime front man took the name with him when he left, along with their hopes of getting back out on the road again and playing the music they love. Of course, a talented musician like Dez could change all of that for them, if they can convince him that this time, his dreams of rock stardom, and love, can actually come true.

Tattered Angel is the 2nd book in the multi-author Road To Rocktoberfest series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not stay and enjoy the whole show? If you like scorching tales of hot rock stars and the men who love them, then you’ll adore the untamed musicians of Rocktoberfest!

CoGHe’d risk his life to find his brother. But he never expected to risk his heart.

daddyAt thirty-three, after all I’ve lived through, I thought I knew myself through and through. And then I met Bear.

When Luukas Virta, a Finnish-American tattoo artist and a Dominant, gets a submissive out of a bad situation, he knows he’s getting a temporary roommate.

What he doesn’t know is that Bear Barlow is a service submissive who got tangled into a web of being too new to know better. Luukas’s caretaker instincts flare up, and he realizes there’s much more to Bear’s kink identity and maybe even his own that he hadn’t expected.

Things from Luukas’s past make him doubt his feelings, and Bear isn’t sure if he’s genuinely interested in the gentle, gorgeous Dom, or if he’s just grateful for having been saved.

I might be twenty-six and new to kink, but I know what I want—or so I thought.

Even more than that, both men are facing a shift in their identities. The more time they spend together, the more they realize that whether you’ve been practicing BDSM for more than a decade or less than a six months, you can still learn a lot about who you are. It doesn’t mean it’s easy to let go of who you thought you were or to make space for an additional part of your newly found identity.

Luukas and Bear get more and more wrapped around each other, but of course life is never quite that simple or easy. With their loving kink community supporting them, there’s nothing they can’t conquer together.

satinHow do you know if you’re kinky?

Despite being drawn to men who like it rough, Wes Roberts has always seen himself as vanilla. When his boss at the kink club puts him on a restraint bench to ease a flare-up of the injury that ended his Army career, Wes gets aroused for the first time in a year. Eager to explore that—and hopefully repeat it—Wes turns to the flirty redhead he met on his first night for guidance.

Eoin McBride, lifelong drifter and white knight, has relied on his kink and avoided relationships his entire adult life. His temporary stop in Portland has stretched into years because of the club that’s become his home. Eoin figures he’ll flirt with the younger man at the front desk as long as he can and leave for good when Wes’s attention disappears. He’s stunned when Wes flirts back, but that’s nothing compared to how he feels when Wes approaches him for guidance in the exploration of his new-found interest in bondage.

Will Eoin resume his nomadic ways, or will their shared kink be enough to build what he hadn’t thought he wanted—a happily ever after with Wes?

Warnings: This book contains on-page depictions of PTSD, descriptions of injuries sustained while in the military, legal drug use, off-page death of a minor character, and the scattering of ashes without a permit.

vampireBeta of the Penhul pack with a vampire? Over his dead body.

Lucian is bored. After a century of being a vampire, nothing surprises him anymore. Life, such as his can be called one, has become predictable. Humans are predictable. Add in the fact he’d rather not feed from them, and a visit with a witch friend of his clan is a welcome distraction. But when he meets Benedict, it’s anything but predictable, especially when he stumbles across the man transforming into a dog before his eyes. And never in an eternity did he think he would find himself wanting to drink the mutt’s blood.

As beta of the Penhul pack, Benedict knows pack comes first, like having to spend weeks away in the Lake District on pack business. But the last thing Benedict expects to find when he returns is his brother having found his fated mate, or worse, a vampire feeding from his witch. His homecoming definitely won’t go down as his finest moment, and he’s certainly not prepared for his reaction to the bloodsucker.

Can Benedict see past their differences and put aside his prejudices of vampires? Or will his choice of mate cost him his pack?

This MM romance from Beth Laycock features enemies to lovers, fated mates, a vampire with an aversion to feeding on humans, a sexy man that can shift into an adorable dog, and of course a HEA. The Beta’s Vampire is the second book in the Penhul pack series and should be read in order.

Kelly Hernandez is on the mend. After the loss of her girlfriend to a car accident, everyone expects her to be destroyed. The worst part is—she isn’t, and the guilt plagues her more each day. All she’s looking for is a little distraction, something to take her away from herself, even if it’s only for a spell.

wishedDreaming about my best friend’s brother is one thing, him actually falling for me is another.

Baking cupcakes for the science department bake-off shouldn’t strike fear into the heart of chemistry teacher Noah, but his previous record hasn’t exactly been glowing. In an attempt to stave off another year in last place, Noah turns to the one man who might be able to help him: his best friend’s older brother, Spencer.

Noah’s had a crush on the vibrant and sporty footballer turned baker for years, but the chances of anything happening between them are slim to none. Spencer is caring, funny, gorgeous…and totally straight.

Spencer has never thought about dating men before, but after watching Noah lick buttercream off a whisk he’s suddenly realising he’s not as straight as previously thought.

Revelations about his sexuality are one thing, but his footballing past being dragged into the present is another, and Spencer isn’t sure which is more stressful. But he’s sure about one thing: He wants Noah in his life. Now all they have to do is figure out how to make their wishes come true.

Like I Wished is a hot and heartwarming best-friend’s-brother contemporary MM romance featuring adorable ghost cupcakes, a bisexual awakening over biscuits, gate-crashed first dates, gym-bro besties, and lots of hot chocolate.

It is book two in the Heather Bay series, and while it can be listened to as a stand-alone, it’s best enjoyed as part of the series.

When Jay accidentally shows up at his store to conduct an inspection, Chai is shocked, but his defenses are no match for Jay’s charm. Will Chai finally give in to the alpha of his dreams?

Alpha wolf Jay Woods is being pressured into a bond that he doesn’t want. After a life-changing one-night-stand with Chai Saithong, he can’t go through with bonding to an omega he doesn’t love. He moves away from his pack. His territory at work changes and he’s assigned Saithong’s Authentic Thai, where he runs right into Chai. Chai’s sassy attitude turns him on, and it becomes a game to toy with him. However, when Jay starts to fit into the family and Chai starts to open up he realizes that he can’t settle for anything less than being with his fated mate, but how can he have his dream when it looks like Chai’s too scared to let him in?

Will Chai let down his walls and embrace true love? Can Jay find his way into Chai’s heart? Will their sizzling-hot chemistry turn into more…complete with a bundle of joy?

This is the sixth book in the Seven Corner Shifters series. This book has a HEA and contains occasional strong language, MPREG, and hot, spicy grownup stuff. The omegas are heating up and the alphas are very knotty boys.

fangsOn a whim, Vampire Artemis Papadakos picked up a couple of hitchhikers on their way to Woodstock. All he was hoping for was a weekend of fun. What he ended up with was a new Child. Spanning seven decades, Fangs for Everything is a sometimes light, sometimes dark look at the lives of a 350-year-old vampire, a hippy peacenik, a skater boy, and the people they love.

Fangs for Everything is an 82k paranormal M/M tale told anthology style, starting in 1969 and spanning seven decades. If Rollie and Aja are familiar, it’s because they first appeared in the 2020 Working Stiffs charity anthology as the short story Fangs for the Memories.

Content warning—This is a vampire story, so there is blood and biting and some violence, along with addiction and dubcon. There are drugs, a knife, and a gun. But there are also overly protective vampires, second chances, found family, a grumpy cinnamon roll, and redemption. There’s something for everyone!

winterAn MM fantasy winter holiday novella.

When a half-nymph rescues a city boy lost in the mountains, he brings him back to his cave. Problem is, there is only one bed.

Aryn should never have left the city. If he’d never left, he wouldn’t have gotten lost in the mountains, thrown by his horse, and left stumbling through the snow trying not to freeze to death. All seems lost, when suddenly an attractive half-nymph appears before him.

Sero came to the forest to seek some much needed peace and quiet. But his plans are ruined when he comes across Aryn. Now, Sero is stuck caring for this foolish man who clearly does not belong in these mountains. He brings Aryn to his cave. Problem is, there is only one bed.

When a cold, snowy night turns steamy hot, Sero decides that the man isn’t so bad. He invites Aryn to his village to spend the solstice festivities together. But is there a chance for something more than a fleeting winter romance?

rescuedRunning away is only the first step. Moving on is the hardest.

When Archer Navarro escapes his emotionally abusive boyfriend in the middle of the night, he hopes to step into a better life.

A turn of bad luck ends Archer’s flights as soon as it starts, but the kindness of strangers brings him to an LGBT shelter.

And it brings him to Brooklyn. He’s the moody, drop-dead gorgeous tenant in the apartment next door, and he soon becomes the source of Archer’s hope.

Their chemistry is instant. It’s hot enough to melt the snow that’s about to bury them. Brooklyn makes Archer believe there still might be some love in him left to give.

If only the past wasn’t getting in the way. If only Archer could let those around him help.

The road of trials tests these men’s will to hold onto one another.

Tensions with his estranged family and a lifetime of scars threaten to take Archer back to where it all started. Back to the house where he was a little more than a prisoner.

And when the future of both their lives depends on it, Archer and Brooklyn need to answer it once and for all: can broken hearts ever beat the same again?

And can love ever be enough?

lennySometimes love hops in when you least expect it.

Human Omega Lenny’s car breaks down at the worst time and place imaginable. The snow is falling, his cell phone has no reception, and he’s going to be late for a job interview a hundred miles away. As the temperature begins to plummet and the sun has mostly set, Lenny sees no other option other than to trek in the direction of the house he sees lit up in the distance. It’s better than freezing to death in his car as it gets buried in the snow.

Alpha jackrabbit shifter Conall is happy to have two entire weeks off. He loves his job as a lumberjack, and his crew are like brothers to him, but Conall longs for the bit of peace and quiet and time in his fur that comes with shutdown. Only his time off turns out to be nothing like what he planned.

When Conall hears a cry for help while he’s in his fur, he races towards the sound to discover a human caught in a hunting trap, his leg bleeding and most likely broken. Without thinking, he shifts into his human form to help and is shocked to hear, “I know you,” just as the man passes out. What was that about?

Lenny and His Jackrabbit Lumberjack is a sweet with knotty heat, country-city, MM, mpreg, shifter romance brought to you by the popular co-writing team of Colbie Dunbar and Lorelei M. Hart. It features a human looking to make a new start, a jackrabbit shifter breaking all the rules to save a stranded traveler, a snowed-in recovery, hot cocoa by the fire, true love, fated mates, an adorable baby, and a guaranteed HEA.

This all changes when the truth comes out after a wild party and David and Connor form a deeper bond than either of them has ever known.

wishedDreaming about my best friend’s brother is one thing, him actually falling for me is another.

Baking cupcakes for the science department bake-off shouldn’t strike fear into the heart of chemistry teacher Noah, but his previous record hasn’t exactly been glowing. In an attempt to stave off another year in last place, Noah turns to the one man who might be able to help him: his best friend’s older brother, Spencer.

Noah’s had a crush on the vibrant and sporty footballer turned baker for years, but the chances of anything happening between them are slim to none. Spencer is caring, funny, gorgeous…and totally straight.

Spencer has never thought about dating men before, but after watching Noah lick buttercream off a whisk he’s suddenly realising he’s not as straight as previously thought.

Revelations about his sexuality are one thing, but his footballing past being dragged into the present is another, and Spencer isn’t sure which is more stressful. But he’s sure about one thing: He wants Noah in his life. Now all they have to do is figure out how to make their wishes come true.

Like I Wished is a hot and heartwarming best-friend’s-brother contemporary MM romance featuring adorable ghost cupcakes, a bisexual awakening over biscuits, gate-crashed first dates, gym-bro besties, and lots of hot chocolate.

It is book two in the Heather Bay series, and while it can be listened to as a stand-alone, it’s best enjoyed as part of the series.

And then somehow I rope myself into getting Carson’s dating life in order. We make a bet. Get him a boyfriend before Christmas or I lose and I have to do what he says.

liesFinding ‘the one’ was the easy bit. The love story is how you keep it all together. This is not a romance. This is what happens when life goes on, when people grow and fall out of sync. Not out of love; some people are just meant to be. Thomas at least hopes that is the case, even though he sometimes feels like he’s clinging to his marriage by a brittle thread. Frank clutches to the scraps that are left, knowing he’s the root cause of Thomas’ grey hairs, their kids being hormonal monsters and his own sanity being questionable at the best of times. Gabriel needs to stop worrying and take control of his life, but with young kids and a body that refuses to do what it’s supposed to do—to sustain and nourish and build muscle to keep bones in place—his feels like a traitor, laughing in his face when he struggles to keep it together. He knows he is loved. His kids are everything. But his marriage feels like a distant memory, and he’s tumbling from one disaster into another. It’s just…life. Bruno thought this holiday would bring them closer together as a family. Isn’t that what a trip abroad is supposed to do? Four weeks in the Swedish mosquito-infested countryside, sharing a farm with strangers. He should have known better. Life is good. But the rest? Lies. All lies. Life is Good and Other Lies is the story of one messy holiday, two crumbling marriages, five bored kids and a farm full of secrets. This is not a romance, instead this is a tale of those happily ever afters. The ups and downs, the good and the downright ugly. The pitfalls of parenting, the laughter and tears, and the joy of simply fighting for the people you love. It’s also an ode to friendships, because sometimes the family you chose, is the one who will have your back when it truly matters.

liesFinding ‘the one’ was the easy bit. The love story is how you keep it all together. This is not a romance. This is what happens when life goes on, when people grow and fall out of sync. Not out of love; some people are just meant to be. Thomas at least hopes that is the case, even though he sometimes feels like he’s clinging to his marriage by a brittle thread. Frank clutches to the scraps that are left, knowing he’s the root cause of Thomas’ grey hairs, their kids being hormonal monsters and his own sanity being questionable at the best of times. Gabriel needs to stop worrying and take control of his life, but with young kids and a body that refuses to do what it’s supposed to do—to sustain and nourish and build muscle to keep bones in place—his feels like a traitor, laughing in his face when he struggles to keep it together. He knows he is loved. His kids are everything. But his marriage feels like a distant memory, and he’s tumbling from one disaster into another. It’s just…life. Bruno thought this holiday would bring them closer together as a family. Isn’t that what a trip abroad is supposed to do? Four weeks in the Swedish mosquito-infested countryside, sharing a farm with strangers. He should have known better. Life is good. But the rest? Lies. All lies. Life is Good and Other Lies is the story of one messy holiday, two crumbling marriages, five bored kids and a farm full of secrets. This is not a romance, instead this is a tale of those happily ever afters. The ups and downs, the good and the downright ugly. The pitfalls of parenting, the laughter and tears, and the joy of simply fighting for the people you love. It’s also an ode to friendships, because sometimes the family you chose, is the one who will have your back when it truly matters.

wishedDreaming about my best friend’s brother is one thing, him actually falling for me is another. Baking cupcakes for the science department bake-off shouldn’t strike fear into the heart of chemistry teacher Noah, but his previous record hasn’t exactly been glowing. In an attempt to stave off another year in last place, Noah turns to the one man who might be able to help him: his best friend’s older brother, Spencer. Noah’s had a crush on the vibrant and sporty footballer turned baker for years, but the chances of anything happening between them are slim to none. Spencer is caring, funny, gorgeous… and totally straight. Spencer has never thought about dating men before, but after watching Noah lick buttercream off a whisk he’s suddenly realising he’s not as straight as previously thought. Revelations about his sexuality are one thing, but his footballing past being dragged into the present is another and Spencer isn’t sure which is more stressful. But he’s sure about one thing: he wants Noah in his life. Now all they have to do is figure out how to make their wishes come true. Like I Wished is a hot and heart-warming best friend’s brother contemporary MM romance featuring adorable ghost cupcakes, a bisexual awakening over baking, gate-crashed first dates, gym-bro besties, and lots of hot chocolate.

His only hope to create an alliance between the tree-dwelling elves and his goddess is to encourage a true bond with an elf who seems to hate him.

It will take all of Farbonnur’s elves to construct a shield wall strong enough to withstand the blood demon, and they’re running out of time.
