Book of the week!

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.

secretsA long journey. A sentient tree. A deceitful god. Faraki arrives in his new home with only his armor and evidence to clear his name. 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. All Velden wanted was a relaxing honeymoon in his homeland. Instead, he must bolster his people against the blood demon. Old enemies and new attempt to thwart his journey and test his days-old marriage bond. 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. True love may not be enough to save the realm when a god switches sides. Tree of Secrets is a 97,000 word romantic fantasy with familiar fated mate faces in new locations. It is the fifth book in the Farbonnur Elves series and is best read after Tower of Lies and before Demon of Darkness. ToS has an enemies to lovers relationship with a happily ever after (for now – there’s still a blood demon!), more Al and Denny sunshine/grumpy sweetness, a hive of baby lubarikin and an exhausted new parent, #GetWerlAGirlfriend (I heard you) and more spicy ritual goodness!

New release!

scroogeMarley Jacobs is dead, and Max Masters Scrooge has no time for the sob story of the grieving son. Even if Jacobs Jr. is kinda cute—for a nerd. Daniel Jacobs is anxious, drifting, and lonely. His gut tells him he’s overdue for a dose of self-care, but the thought of setting foot in a gym gives him hives. Though he craves gentle guidance, what he gets is the heavy hand of the gym’s head trainer and sleaziest playboy, Max Masters. Accustomed to topping the leaderboard, among other things, Max sells Daniel on his gold package. After things get steamy in the locker room showers, Max is ready to make like a ghost and vanish, as usual. But this time, he won’t get away with his selfish antics, not if a vengeful past hookup with a powerful uncle has anything to say about it. M.M. Scrooge is a spicy hot horror retelling of A Christmas Carol, as part of the collaboration Monsters & Mayhem: A horror collection adapting some of your favorite classics with an MM romance twist. Content warnings inside.

lucienJamie Hernandez loves his life. He has his family, his friends, and a successful freelance career at just twenty-three. The only thing missing? His monster. The one Jamie has seen in his dreams for the past five years. Jamie doesn’t know much about the enigmatic man from his visions, but he doesn’t need to. He knows enough. He knows they belong together. Lucien Volaire has been losing his mind for almost half a century, the monster within him steadily taking greater control over his thoughts and actions. He’s destroyed everything he’s touched, including the people he’s cared for. The one thing that could stop his final descent into madness? A mate. So when Luc meets a young man in the desert, one who smells like heaven and doesn’t run in fear, Luc knows he’s met his last chance at redemption. But the more Lucien is enchanted by Jamie, the more reluctant he is to taint him with his own vampire curse. Can Lucien find a balance between love and obsession? Or will those that want Luc out of their territory step in before he has a chance? Lucien is a heated, fated-mates MM paranormal romance with an HEA and no cliffhanger. It contains a morally grey, obsessive vampire with anger management issues and the bright, playful human who might just match him in possessive romantic tendencies. 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 (it is especially recommended to read book one first).
