checkNever fall for the straight guy—Jasper knows better. At least until his straight guy crush starts crushing back…

Jasper Tanaka has made an art form out of avoiding commitment. Which is why his crush on a nearby café owner, Matt, has been perfect—the guy is straight, vanilla, and far too sweet—everything that puts him out of Jasper’s reach.

Matt Reed’s always been unlucky in love, never enough for his partners. And when his most recent girlfriend dumps him, he decides to take a chance on something new—a rope class. Lucky for him, Jasper’s there, and their time together sparks an attraction that both surprises and captivates Matt.

When a developer’s offer threatens to shut Tabletop Tavern down, Jasper’s grasping for any distraction possible—and Matt offers the perfect one. Except the intense feelings between become far too real, and if Matt decides this was just a curiosity, Jasper won’t survive the loss of the one guy he’s let in and the only home he’s ever known.

Roll the dice on romance at Tabletop Tavern…

Charisma Check is an M/M bi-awakening + friends to lovers romance that reads as a standalone. (Warning: might include shibari and copious amounts of rope)

Book of the week!

rollEnjoy the Roll for Love series in one complete collection, and follow a group of friends finding their happily ever afters in these sweet and steamy stories packed full of geeky goodness.

This box set features all three original novels, plus four short stories, including the brand new shorts, Choose Your Character and And They Lived Happily Ever After.

Natural Twenty — Gruff florist Leo doesn’t do relationships. But when he meets Jay, the anxious owner of the new book shop, friendship blossoms between them. Jay’s still recovering from a bad breakup and trying to get his business off the ground, but as the pair get closer they must decide whether to take a chance on love.

Charisma Check — Edward doesn’t need a man, and he certainly doesn’t need cosplayer and tattoo artist, Izzy Montes, AKA The Masked Gentleman, Edward’s ultimate nemesis. Having hooked up in secret for years, the antagonistic rivals are forced to confront their feelings when they’re invited to appear together at a film premier in LA.

Proficiency Bonus — Television star Jason Lu is stuck between a rock and a hard place. His show has been cancelled and his character pigeonholed into a homophobic ending. Luckily Lewis, the cute PA he met at Comic Con, has some ideas on how to fix things. And it might just lead to a happily ever after for both of them.

This box set also includes the following four short stories. Choose Your Character — Jay and Leo receive a surprise gift from Edward. Roll to Seduce — Edward and Izzy do a sexy cosplay photoshoot. A Wild Henry Appears — Jason and Lewis enjoy an unplanned weekend visit from family. And They Lived Happily Ever After — A catch up with everyone as they celebrate Jay and Leo’s wedding.

Each Roll for Love book can be read as a standalone and has a happily-ever-after ending, but you’ll enjoy them more as part of the whole series. This low-angst series promises snark, steam, sweetness, and some adorable nerdy goodness. It is approximately 257,000 words.

obsessionSomeone’s waiting for Eli. Somebody’s watching his every move…

Eli is used to looking after himself. Single for longer than he’d care to admit, he doesn’t need a man for more than a hookup, not when he’s got his loyal dog, Zeus, by his side.

But one night changes the course of his life. He meets Dominic, an actual copper and not the stripper he thought his best friend had hired for his birthday. A copper that has relationship written all over him and Eli set in his sights.

After his night out celebrating, another gift awaits him at home—but not a pleasant one. His birthday may be over, but the threats keep coming. Keep escalating. Keep hurting those close to him. Just how far will the monster behind them go? And how much will Eli lose before he can stop them?

This M/M romance from Beth Laycock features opposites attract, law enforcement/protector, hurt/comfort, and of course a happy ending.

fightA bad boy who lives outside the law. A compassionate soul focused on helping others. Sometimes rules are meant to be broken… for love.

Caden
Helping my brother was my focus. He got into trouble and I’ve been using my skills in the ring to prevent loan sharks from breaking his kneecaps… or worse.
Until I met Noah.
He’s a good man who makes me want to be better. A man who doesn’t lace up his gloves and step into underground rings. But I have one last fight coming. This time the stakes are higher than ever. What I have to do to save my brother could cost me the man I’m falling for.

Noah
I should have walked away and never looked back when I first met the MMA fighter with honey-gold eyes. Yet Caden’s charms are too appealing to ignore. As a social worker it’s important for me to keep my nose clean.
And Caden is a red flag in every way.
Still, he’s hot as sin and I can’t seem to stay away. I’m taking a risk by opening myself up to him, but I’m convinced beneath that bad boy exterior beats the heart of a good man who is worth the fight.

Worth the Fight is an opposites attract MM romance. It is book one of the Winning at Love series, a collection of standalone gay romance stories featuring MMA fighters and hockey and football playing heroes. Expect different tropes like enemies to lovers, GFY/bi-awakening, forbidden romance, single dads, found families and happily ever afters.

E3AC1FCE-75AF-47C4-986E-AA05B9247004Gabe Kingman has never been great with his emotions. His disastrous personal life is evidence enough of that. Returning to be a doctor in his small Colorado hometown was supposed to bring him closer to his family, not push them even further away. He’s been slowly working to repair the mistakes he’s made, but his efforts aren’t made any easier by the new existence of vampires in his world. Especially one pesky, annoyingly beautiful vampire in particular.

Soren Iversen never meant to stay in Hyde Park this long. He hasn’t kept himself alive for centuries by letting himself be a sitting duck. But instead of moving on months ago, he’s been kicking his heels in the most boring town in the world, hoping for one stubborn, annoyingly compelling human to pay him even a bit of attention.

When circumstances force the two of them together, Soren’s obsession and Gabe’s unwilling attraction are brought to a head. But Soren has been running for a reason, and the skeletons in his closet threaten to tear the couple apart before they can even begin.

SOREN IS A HEATED, FATED-MATES MM PARANORMAL ROMANCE WITH A HEA AND NO CLIFFHANGER. IT CONTAINS A STUBBORN, EMOTIONALLY-REPRESSED ICU DOCTOR, AND A BRATTY, SLIGHTLY UNHINGED VAMPIRE NOT AFRAID TO STALK A MAN TO GET WHAT HE WANTS. IT ALSO CONTAINS STEAMY SCENES BETWEEN TWO MEN, AND THE MODERATE VIOLENCE (AND MENTIONS OF BLOOD) THAT ONE MIGHT EXPECT FROM A VAMPIRE ROMANCE. THIS BOOK CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE, BUT THE SERIES IS BEST ENJOYED IN ORDER.

salvationA wendigo afraid of hurting people. A vampire who who revels in his bloodlust.

Dell

Nothing was worse than getting turned into a monster by the one person who was never supposed to harm you. I couldn’t remember a time when I hadn’t been a monster, and I’d given up hope of ever being anything else.

Then Valerio showed up, and he told me things could be different. That he knew what real monsters looked like, and I could help him hunt them down.

Valerio

I’d never met a monster who was less monster-like than Dell. So what if he needed to eat human flesh to survive? I could offer him a five-course meal and clean the world of some filth in one go.

I was determined to show him how different he was from true monsters, if only so he’d stop starving himself. He was kind and innocent, the complete opposite of what monsters were.

Salvation is an MM monster x supernatural romance featuring a wendigo who hates what he is until his mate shows him otherwise, a vampire who revels in his bloodlust, and a romance that is slow to spark, but blazing once it’s lit.

threesA single phone call changes the perfectly-balanced V-relationship husbands Elliott and Luc, and Luc’s Dom/boyfriend, Leo, have maintained for years. If they’re brave enough to take the chance, they could build something even stronger for all of them together.

Elliott thrives on routine: teaching college literature, caring for his dogs, and unconditionally loving his husband, Luc. Whether that means building a recording studio for Luc’s burgeoning career as a pet care influencer or supporting Luc’s love for his Dom, Elliott is there for him no matter what.

Luc is the luckiest man in the world. His pet care YouTube channel is poised to launch into a real career, Elliott gives him the solid foundation he needs, and Leo provides the domination and structure he craves. Wherever the winds of fame take him, he’s secure in the knowledge that both his husband and his lover will be his wings.

Leo knows no one would look at his wheelchair and think “Dom,” but frankly, he doesn’t care. He survived the accident that paralyzed him, as well as a health crisis that almost killed him, and his reward is Luc, kneeling at his feet in complete devotion and perfect submission.

These three men have balanced work, home, love, and play in an open and consensual V-relationship for several years…until a single phone call rocks their world. Once the shock wears off, the new dynamic between them could destroy everything or build something stronger if they’re brave enough to take the chance.

Love Comes in Threes is an emotional, somewhat angsty MMM romance featuring a consensual V-relationship (i.e., no cheating), and an HEA for all three men. It contains a Dom on wheels, Really Big Floofy Dogs, and mouthwatering Greek pastries, as well as light kink and a D/s relationship.

alluringLove isn’t an option for Hunter, but it’s impossible to ignore his desire for Ryder and Cesare. Will he risk everything for a chance to be with them?

Hunter is trapped in the realm of dark desires. He’s at the mercy of a brutal man, who derives great pleasure from inflicting painful punishments. His body is no longer his own, but he refuses to be defeated. Hunter has a reason to fight, and he’s determined to win his freedom at any cost.

When Ryder and Cesare are pulled into his dangerous world of intrigue, Hunter can’t resist the temptation the two men present him. Showing interest in either of them would put them at risk of retribution from the deranged psychopath who controls him. But he selfishly wants them both, consequences be damned.

Alluring Attraction is the first book in the Illicit Illusions series. It is continued in Developing Desires, then concludes with a HEA in Embracing Euphoria. This series is a dark hurt/comfort, romantic suspense, gay romance and must be read in order to understand the full story. The first two books are M/M, building to an M/M/M relationship in the final book.

moreAugie has been in love with his straight best friend for years. But what happens when they fake date and he discovers that Ambrose has similar feelings and isn’t as straight as he assumed?

Ambrose O’Rourke

Being friends with Augie has taught me a lot about myself, including the fact that I’m not nearly as straight as I suspected. He awakens something deep inside of me that yearns for more than just his friendship—I want his love. But he dismisses my shameless flirting as nothing more than a joke. Clearly, if I’m going to win his heart, I’ll have to get creative.

Fortunately, a golden opportunity presents itself for us to pretend to date each other, which is the perfect chance I need. He thinks it’s something fun we’ll laugh about later, but my goal is to show him that I’m such an awesome fake boyfriend that he’ll want me to keep me as his real one. Sure, it could go spectacularly wrong. But it might work out perfectly, right?

Augie Murphy

Ambrose knows everything about me except for two very important secrets: I’m bisexual and madly in love with him. I was doing fine until my straight best friend decides to turn his charm factor up to blinding while flirting with me like he actually wants me to respond to his heated teasing. How am I supposed to resist as it becomes harder not calling his bluff and kissing him until he falls in love with me for real? But since he thinks I’m as straight as him, I can’t risk doing something so stupid, no matter how hot it would be.

I’m finally pushed to my breaking point when he concocts an absurd plan for us to pretend to be bisexual boyfriends looking to hook up with women as a way to spice up our relationship. I should say no, but it’s too much temptation to resist when it’s the closest I’ll ever get to dating him for real. Even if we’re pretending for only one night, I need to know what it’s like to be loved by him.

The boundaries of our friendship quickly start to blur as we act out my dream life. Do I dare hope that this bad idea might turn my fake boyfriend for a night into my real one forever?

Love Means More is the second book in the Good Bad Idea series and part of the Sunnyside universe. This novel features a friends to lovers, bi awakening, fake dating, mutual pining, gay romance. If you love cute sweetness, sexy fun, and low angst stories that will make you laugh and swoon, you’ll enjoy this satisfying HEA without cliffhangers. Each book can be read as a standalone or as part of the series in order.

cuffsIt took one day to strip an Archangel of everything he held dear.

On the battlefield of Heaven, Uriel lost more than his left ear. He lost his Committeds and his will to live. Decades later, he’s drowning himself at the bottom of a bottle, with no escape in sight. He tried to end his misery, but death didn’t take. Resigned to suffering eternity alone with only the ghosts of the ones he lost as company, the last thing Uriel wants is a new love.

It took one day for a hybrid to fall in love with a broken, lost Archangel.

As the hybrid spawn of Lucifer, Jesse isn’t exactly popular with angels; carrying the face of a monster tends to have that effect. So, he keeps his head down and secretly prays for the day someone can see past his golden eyes to the soul inside—the soul desperate for the solace only surrender can provide.

A grieving Archangel searching for hope and a reason to live. A hybrid yearning for a firm, loving hand, and a place to belong. Join Uriel and Jesse as they test the boundaries of love and the infinite limits of grace.

New release!

guyA new male / male hockey romance from 24-time USA Today bestseller Sarina Bowen!

My name is Hudson Newgate, but my teammates call me New Guy.

That was my nickname in Chicago, too. And Vancouver. That’s what happens when you keep getting traded. Brooklyn is my last chance, especially after my poor performance last season.

But I can make this work. The new guy knows to keep his head down and shoot the puck. The new guy puts the game first.

What he doesn’t do is hook up with the other new guy—a hot athletic trainer who lives in my building. Gavin needs this job with my team. He’s a single dad with responsibilities.

We can’t be a couple. My arrogant agent–who’s also my father–will lose his mind if I’m dating a dude. And my team needs me to score goals, not whip up a media circus.

Too bad Gavin and I are terrible at resisting each other…

Thursday 2nd February

Book of the week!

buoyAndrew: I’ve traveled the world as a yacht steward for the past year, trying to outrun a broken heart and a mountain of debt. Then a gig as a chief stew on board a yacht in the Caribbean comes my way. The timing is right, the weather is perfect, and the pay is desperately needed.
There’s just one problem…

My billionaire boss, Rowan Carter, is way too distracting. With his charming British accent and sarcastic quips, Rowan commands all my attention and none of it is focused on work. I prepare to meet another entitled jerk when I step on board his ship, but it turns out that Rowan is the exception to the billionaire rule. And I get a first-hand glimpse of the kindhearted man behind the money.

The professional line between us melts away but I’ve been badly burned by a workplace relationship gone wrong. And Rowan and I live in two very different worlds. I can’t – shouldn’t – fall for Rowan Carter.

Oh boy. Too late.

Rowan: I run a real estate empire but being in the top one percent isn’t all fun and caviar. The family business has struggled these past two years and now the one place that was my refuge may be taken away from me. Add to that, I’m a target for the paparazzi because of a former relationship. I’ve never felt so alone. Lonely. Unmoored…

Until a dreamy American named Andrew Slater walks aboard my ship and into my life. Andrew takes delight in answering my snark with sarcastic retorts and his wit is matched by quiet acts of kindness.

Falling in love is an unexpected voyage for both of us. Unless the press gets wind of our relationship, and then all bets are off.

But I fight to win, because Andrew is the most important deal of my life.

Oh Buoy is a boss-employee, friends to lovers, MM romance filled with tropical locations, spicy banter and swoony moments.

New release!

pawnOne night of bliss could unravel a kingdom.

Be obedient. Be grateful. As the neglected illegitimate son of a powerful family, Corin is expected to follow his magic-gifted brother to the palace as a servant. He’s unwilling but resigned—and allows himself one night of distraction in a stranger’s arms.

Corin never knew pleasure and pain could be so exhilarating. So comforting. Corin only regrets he’ll never again see the anonymous man who ruined him for anyone else.

Until the next morning, when Corin meets his brother’s new arranged fiancé.

Prince Audric doesn’t want a loveless political betrothal, however open, but he’ll do anything for his kingdom. His last night of freedom is a rare indulgence—and a terrible mistake. Corin is sweet, beautiful, and sees Audric like nobody else does.

He’s also Audric’s fiancé’s younger brother. Audric’s arranged betrothal might be open, but he can’t touch Corin again.

Constant proximity hurts when they can’t be together. But avoidance is impossible when Corin might be the key to unraveling the conspiracy behind Audric’s betrothal—

And when Corin keeps fainting into Audric’s arms.

Prince and Pawn is a high fantasy gay romance with hurt/comfort, forbidden pining, inappropriate use of vines, and more magic tigers. The Perilous Courts series is best read in order, but each book follows a different prince and his Happily Ever After.
