Blurb

For the last year, Jay Warren has struggled to find the nerve to tell his wife he's gay. Every time he gets the chance, though, he freezes up. He's ashamed of hiding it all this time, he doesn't want to hurt her, and the guilt has been almost unbearable.

When his wife dies suddenly, Jay's conscience threatens to eat him alive.

Funeral director Scott Lawson deals with the bereaved every day, and he's all too familiar with the inside of the closet. He offers Jay some much-needed compassion and understanding, and from that connection comes a friendship that quickly - perhaps too quickly - turns into something more.

But are grief, guilt, and loneliness the only things tying them together? Or, will Scott get fed up with being used as an emotional crutch before Jay realizes what he has?

Picture
Oh wow, I was intrigued by the blurb on this one, and when I saw Charlie David, I jumped at the chance to review this audio.  Now Charlie David is someone I could listen to all day long.  There is just something about his voice that completely draws you in and keeps you totally enthalled in the story.  

Jay has been steadily drinking to pysch himself up to tell his wife that he is gay - but he doesn't get the chance to do this, instead he is told she died in the car accident he had heard about earlier in the evening.

Now Jay just doesn't know what to do.  He begins drinking more and more to block everything out, it was like he was hoping that it was all a bad dream and he would soon wake up.  He had now lost his chance to tell the one person who was so important to him the truth, and it was literally really eating him alive., 

Jay meets Scott, and they seem to click.  Jay sees someone who he doesn't know, who offers to listen to him if he wants to talk - and boy does Jay need to speak to someone, especially someone impartial. 

Their friendship grows, but then morphs into something even deeper.  and the two start a sort of relationship, Now I say a sort of relationship, as Jay still seems to be in limbo most of the time - holding onto the guilt he feels for never admitting to Misty or anyone else that he was gay, but he never seems to really grieve for Misty. 

Does Jay actually love Scott, or is it just something to do with Scott being the first person he told he was gay?  Will Jay actually grieve for Misty and accept things as they are, and does Jay actually love Jay or is he just more or less using Scott?   ​

Excerpt

Tonight, I'm going to tell her.

Yeah right. Just like I was going to tell her every night for the past several months. Probably creeping up on a year at this point. A year of long evenings of pacing back and forth across the living room or the kitchen, gesturing with my drink and talking to myself as I rehearsed the words that I had, to date, never been able to say in her presence. A year of psyching myself up and telling myself tonight was the night, only to lose my nerve the second she came through the front door.

Pacing back and forth across the living room, I sipped the double Seagrams in my sweaty hand.

I can do this. I can do this. God, I have to do this.

It didn't help that she was late. Sure, it was more time for me to drink a little liquid courage and convince myself I could do this, but it was also more time for those ever-present doubts to get up on their respective soapboxes and tell me why I shouldn't, couldn't, wouldn't.

Do you really want to hurt her like that?

After this long, you're an asshole for telling her now.

You're a jerk, you know that?

I stopped pacing and rubbed my eyes with my thumb and forefinger.

Come on, Jay. She deserves the truth.

She deserved the truth a long time ago. And every time I passed up an opportunity to tell her, the guilt just burned deeper. One more day of leading her on. One more day of pretending the problems plaguing our marriage could be resolved with just a little more time and patience.

I cursed under my breath, then took another long drink. I put the glass on a coaster on the coffee table Misty hated rings on the table and kept pacing along that path I'd worn into the carpet in front of the fireplace.

I glanced at my watch. It was well after nine, and she was always home by eight-thirty.

Maybe her class had run late. Her professors lectures were always precisely two hours long, so if class started late, it ended late. There'd been a massive car accident on the freeway earlier this evening a multiple fatality, from what the traffic reporter said so maybe that had held things up. But an hour or more late? Even that prof wouldn't hold his class that long.

Her study group wasnít meeting tonight, was it? They always got together after class and sometimes didn't finish up until ten or eleven. I picked up my drink again and closed my eyes as I held the ice-cold glass to my forehead, wracking my brain as I tried to remember if they were meeting on Wednesdays or Thursdays this quarter. Sheíd probably told me earlier. Might have even e-mailed me at work to remind me. I was just too far into this bottle and a night of undoubtedly futile self pep talks to remember.

Better check with her, then, since I wasn't going to find the answer in my own nervous, slightly intoxicated mind, so I speed-dialed her cell. It rang several times, then kicked over to voice mail.

Hey, this is Misty. I'm probably at work, in class, or just plain not answering, so leave a message and I'll call you back.

I cleared my throat. Hey, it's me. I can't remember if you've got study group tonight or not, so I wasn't sure when you'd be home, but give me a call when you're on your way. Talk to you soon. Love you.

I winced at the last two words. Sighing, I hung up the phone and set it beside the coaster on the coffee table. It wasn't a lie. I did love her. I would love her until the day I died, and never questioned that for a second.

But was I in love with her?

No. No, I wasn't.

And the longer I dragged this out, the more she'd hate me when she finally learned the truth that I had owed her for a long, long time.

I brought the glass up to my lips, but hesitated. I'd had enough for one night. No sense being legitimately drunk when she got home. For one thing, we'd end up fighting. Misty didn't mind me drinking, but the second the alcohol showed itself in my speech or gait, she got pissed. I couldn't even count the number of times a fight about my drinking had been the convenient excuse not to discuss the reason I'd been drinking in the first place.

Not tonight. No.

Come on, Jay. You can do this.

I also needed a clear head. Well, as close to a clear head as I could get. If I stopped drinking now, I might even be completely sober by the time she came home from study group.

I stood, leaving my glass on the coaster beside my phone, and resumed pacing between the coffee table and fireplace.

Listen, Misty, I said to the empty room. I'm not quite sure how to say this, and I'm so sorry I didn't tell you this sooner. I tried not to choke on the words. But, honey, I'm gay.

A million images of my wife flickered through my mind, each reacting a different way. One cussing me out. One collapsing into tears. One getting herself a very, very strong drink.

ìWhy didn't you tell me? she asked in my mind. Sometimes she screamed it. Sometimes she asked through her tears. Sometimes she just asked matter-of-factly, Jay, why? Why didn't you tell me?

And why didn't you tell her, Jay?

Scared. Ashamed. Uncertain. Embarrassed. In denial. Didn't want to hurt her. Didn't want to lose her.

Same answers, different night. And when she came home, I'd choke just like I always did. God, how long was this going to go on?

The longer you wait, the worse it's going to get.

I sank onto the sofa and rested my elbows on my knees. Rubbing the back of my neck, I sighed, wondering how long I could resist the sirens call of that mostly empty glass on the table. My willpower was melting faster than the neglected ice cubes. I wanted to say to hell with it and chalk up tonight as another failed attempt to work up the courage to tell her, and I wanted to celebrate that failure with this glass and at least two or three more afterward. So what if we fought? Maybe if we did enough fighting, we could divorce over that instead of this.

My shoulders slumped, and I pressed my fingers into my temples. Who was I kidding? I didn't want to hurt her. I had to, I knew that, but not by picking fights and giving us a reason to scream at each other until we could tick the irreconcilable differences box and move on. She deserved better than that.

She deserves better than me.

Fuck it. I picked up the glass and threw it back, swallowing the whisky in one go, barely tasting how much the melted ice had watered it down. The remaining ice clinked halfheartedly as I put the glass back on the table.

The doorbell rang.

I shot the front door a suspicious glance, then looked at my watch. Who the hell showed up at

Jesus, how the hell was it already nine fifty-seven at night?

Something tightened in my gut. I glanced at my cell phone, which remained still and silent on the coffee table beside my glass. Heart pounding, I started toward the door, and with every step, that something tightened. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. The deadbolt had never clicked quite as loudly as it did when I turned it.

I opened the door, and when I saw the pair of somber-faced cops on the porch with their hats in their hands, I knew.

And definitely don't tell Lori A. Witt or Ann Gallagher. Neither of those twits can keep their mouths shut Ö

Blurb

I can’t sleep…

When unrequited love leaves Dylan Hart sleepless and nursing his wounds, instinct draws him to the one place he's found mindless respite in the past—Lovato’s. It’s a place for every fantasy — for crazy-hot encounters — where a night of insane NSA sex brings relief to Dylan’s fragile feelings.

It should be a perfect escape, and for one magical night it seems that way, but then worlds collide, and reality bites when his hookup desperately needs a friend. Surely Dylan can’t trust his instincts when friendship has bruised his heart so badly before?

It’s burying me alive…

The deck is stacked against former ballet dancer Angelo Giordano ever finding real love. At least visiting Lovato’s offers respite from a life defined by illness; a glimmer of light in the dull grey of his so-called life without dance. But then he encounters Dylan — a glorious ray of the brightest sunshine — who makes his heart pound once more with purpose.

Angelo’s mind is blown by this man, but the disease that ended his career won’t let him bask in new love. He’s drowning, and Dylan can’t save him while insecurities swamp them both. The only way to make it means confronting their demons.

If Dylan can turn his back on the past, and Angelo can face his uncertain future, maybe they can chase their dreams together.

Picture
Dylan, to me, is actually quite the complicated person -  he can never switch off from his job, and this bleeds over into his life totally, he just can’t relax, can’t get his brain to switch off.  When he finally realises that he is in love with someone who will never return his love, and add in that his brain is more or less going into overload, he decides to go to the one place where he knows he will find the peace that he desperately needs – Lovato’s, down in the bunker rooms, blindfolded and ready for whoever comes through the door.

Now Angelo is the total opposite.  Angelo leads a life that is dictated  by his illness, and he has good days and bad days, but I think even he doesn’t realise how badly his illness can affect him at times.  Sometimes it seems like he is ignoring it, hoping it will go away, which of course it won’t.  To try and believe he is fine, he goes to Lovato’s.

This is where Dylan and Angelo meet –  However, as soon as Angelo sets eyes on Dylan blindfolded, on hands and knees waiting for him, he feels something deep inside, and feels a yearning to take care of the man before him – an alien feeling for him.  Angelo is quite taken by the man in front of him, and the fantasy is wonderful while it lasts. 

They do meet again away from Lovato's, but not in the best of circumstances, so they seem doomed before anything really has a chance to start - however, neither men was prepared for the pull they both felt for the other. 

But both men have demons to slay - Dylan needs to slay the demon of his lost love, and Angelo needs to accept that his illness will affect his life.  On their own this seems impossible, but together this might just be possible, but do they want to, or even stand a chance to try together.  Both are very stubborn men, so this journey will not be an easy one.

This book kept me hooked straight away, and even more so when dealing with both Dylans overactive brain, and Angelo's illness.  You really couldn't help wanting to reach in and help either one or both of them at some parts through the book.  This was a real roller coaster ride, and at the same time, it made me realise that not all illnesses can be seen, but can still be totally life changing.

There's safety in numbers and plenty of love to go around.

When Colin searches for his missing colleague and buddy in the hills of northern England, his life is changed forever. Not only does he find Shaun living in a cabin with the mysterious and undeniably gorgeous Zach, but he also discovers the reason Shaun went AWOL in the first place. Colin wants to draw his friend away to safety, but Zach soon mesmerises him, and he's happy to stay in his company, for now.

Passing hikers, Wes and Dane, need some assistance, and the three men are willing to oblige. Thus begins a friendship that develops into much more.  

The five men each have their own secrets. Some are shared, others are kept hidden. It's only a matter of time before they are exposed and the consequences could change everything for them all.
Picture
I really did jump at the chance to review this book, I don't think I have ever read a book that was between five men before - and I admit I was curious as to whether this would actually work. 

It has been a while since I had read a book by this author (sorry Lily), but wow, what a re-introduction back to her books.  I admit I was pulled into the book as soon as I started reading.  Each chapter, is told by one of the five men, but I have to say I never got lost or confused, this seemed to enhance the story more. 

We first meet Colin, who is looking for his friend Shaun, who seems to be missing.  Colin and Shaun used to go walking in the hills together, and this is where Colin looks for Shaun - and finally spots him, but he is not alone.  Now enter both Shaun and Zach, who seem to have a special bond, but Colin has no idea why. 

While Colin is with Shaun and Zach, finding out why Shaun went missing, and finding out a secret about Zach too, nearby are Wesley and Dane.  Wesley and Dane are on vacation, staying in a cabin nearby to Zach and Shaun.  The five all meet, and seem to get on really well, although Wesley feels a little uneasy.  

The friendship between the five men seems solid, and they love spending time together, but standing in the way is the big secret that Zach and Shaun keep hidden, but then it seems like everyone has a secret, and some are confessed - but not the one that could change how everyone feels.  

However, outside forces seem to be working against the five, and the biggest secrets are soon revealed, but not how anyone wanted to find out.  Add into this, there seems to be something else more sinister going on, although nobody has any real idea what......

This is the first book that I have read that has been about five men together, and it really does work, each one of them had their place, and nobody was left out.  To be honest, it is strange how it all worked, but it really did.  I would love to read more stories like this.

​Excerpt #2 from Chapter 1

Colin yelped and stumbled back. The penknife fell from his grip as he connected with the solid ground and landed on his arse.
 â€œWhat the fuck?” Colin gaped at the wild beast in front of him, not five feet away, and apparently protecting Zach, who stroked the wolf’s back as if he were petting a huge dog.
Colin blinked, hoping to clear his vision. Had he knocked his head? Was he dreaming? Had he been drugged too?
The wolf sniffed the air and pawed the grass, its tongue now lolling to the side of its mouth. Teeth, sharp and white and scary, distracted Colin from the animal’s other features. The scent of damp fur and woodland soil filled his nostrils, and warm panting breath ghosted over his face.
The wolf was real enough. No vision. No dream.
“What the fuck?” Colin said, keeping his eyes fixed on the animal as it slunk away to the trees. His heart pounded and his mind was a whirl of confused thoughts. He tried to swallow around a thick lump in his parched throat. “What the fuck just happened?”
Zach said nothing but offered a hand to Colin, which after a few seconds pause, Colin grasped. Between the two of them, they easily hauled his bulky frame to standing. He scanned the grass for his knife, relief racing in his veins when he spotted it nestled among two nearby clumps of greenery.
Colin glanced away from the knife in the direction the wolf had headed. Could it really be Shaun? â€œI don't understand.”
“Of course, you don't.” Zach’s mouth curved into a warm, genuine smile. His eyes glimmered, and some of the tension lifted from Colin’s shoulders. “You must be Colin. Shaun’s sexy boss. He’s told me all about you.”
“What?” Colin’s pulse still pounded, and confusion turned his thoughts to sludge, but his heart fluttered at the hope those words kindled. What the hell was happening? What was this arsehole saying? Shaun had never tried anything on with Colin, not even when they’d been drunk. And had Shaun really… turned into a… what the actual fuck?
“You didn’t think he was interested in you?” Zach arched an eyebrow, and his eyes sparkled. Again.
Before Colin could commit himself to an answer or ask any questions about the precarious state of his sanity, there was movement to his side.
Shaun stood naked, his hands cupped over his groin, a little unsteady on his feet. “Chuck us your T-shirt, Zach,” he rasped, not making eye contact with Colin, his cheeks scarlet.
Without hesitation, Zach shed his top and threw it at Shaun, leaving his own fine torso on display. Smooth, defined, firm—perfect. No wonder Shaun had hooked up with him. Colin wouldn’t stand a chance with this guy in the picture, even if Shaun had liked him once upon a time.
Why was he even thinking about such things right now? He’d just seen Shaun turn into a wolf, and now he was back again as himself. And shortly before that, this ridiculously handsome man had been sucking on his neck and was now acting as if he knew things about Shaun that Colin didn’t even know. Was he losing his mind?
Colin dragged his gaze back to Shaun, his chest and nakedness now hidden from view by the oversized T-shirt. He staggered closer to Colin, his legs unsteady as if he were drunk. Shaun collapsed into Colin’s arms, maybe a deliberate move rather than an uncontrolled stumble. As much as Colin wanted to hug him to his chest, he needed answers. Anger bubbled to the surface and exploded. Colin gripped Shaun by his biceps and held him back at arm’s-length.
“What the fuck is going on? What did I just see?” It took all of Colin’s willpower not to shake the answer out of Shaun. “And what’s this fucking guy been doing to you?”
Shaun trembled beneath his touch, and his voice was hoarse and uneven, not its usual sweet timbre. “It’s okay, Col. I promise you, I’m okay now.” He placed his palm on Colin’s shoulder. “I know it’s a lot for you to take in all at once. I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to explain before.”
His words didn’t tell Colin anything. “Why the hell didn’t you tell me you were leaving and where you were going? I’d have listened… and helped you.” What the fuck could Colin have done to help if Shaun was a—?
Zach cleared his throat, distracting them both. He moved closer, running his long fingers down those taut abs of his until they came to rest on the waistband of his perfectly clinging jeans.
Shaun gazed at Zach, over his body, the renewed flush of arousal evident in his eyes. Colin’s heart sank but gave a hopeful flip when Shaun looked back at him with that same darkened expression. “Hey, how about we go inside? I can get dressed, and then explain what’s been going on with me.”
For a moment, Colin feared he might be overpowered or drugged or something like that once they got him inside the cabin, perhaps in the same way Shaun might have been. He eyed his knife lying on the ground, tempted to bend down and scoop it up for some protection.
Zach chuckled, and in a smooth yet swift motion slid past Colin. “I think you dropped this.” His mouth nestled close to Colin’s ear, his voice deep, his breath cool. A curl of interest coiled its way around Colin’s groin at the closeness of the man. Zach gripped Colin’s hand, turning his palm face-up, and placed the missing knife softly against his skin.
Colin couldn’t help but let out a gasp. He hadn’t witnessed the knife being retrieved from the ground. Whoever this man was, he was fast. He would probably dodge any knife or fist that Colin hurled his way. No way was Colin walking from this meadow without finding out who this man was. He pocketed the knife, despite his doubts about its usefulness now.
Zach glided away, entwined his fingers around Shaun’s hand, and pulled him towards the cabin. With an encouraging look over his shoulder, Shaun waved his free hand behind him. “Come on. We need to talk.”
Colin really had no choice, so he followed them. He needed to find out what had happened to Shaun and what the hell was going on between him and Zach.

Synopsis

Reeve Nelson is determined to make it in Manhattan. He’s hardworking, dedicated and willing to put in the extra hours required to be successful at his new job at a prestigious real estate firm in the city. There’s no way he’s going back to small-town living and an ex-girlfriend who won’t let go. But his boss isn’t making it easy. 
Leo Rodriguez enjoys his reputation as a ruthless businessman. He’s a lone wolf who’s scraped his way from the gutter to rebuild his life and launch a distinguished career on his terms. When an opportunity to expand in the market comes up, Leo wants the eager new agent with a sense of wonder on the project. But nothing goes quite as planned. Reeve expected to be intimidated and overwhelmed by Leo, however, the explosive mutual attraction and fierce desire between them is a big surprise. Neither man is looking for love and yet, something special just might happen if they can find their way…together.
Picture
Well, Lane Hayes has done it again, and written a book that I really enjoyed reading, but also a book that I could read time and time again. 

Reeve is a character that you will fall in love with, he comes across as a total sweetheart, and you won't help but smile as you first meet him, with what he was humming!!  He is a man determined to suceed, and work hard to get there too.  

Now Leo, I have to say I wasn't sure of to begin with - he is the arrogant man, one who has also worked hard to where he is, but he is also quite ruthless, so beware if you cross him. 

When Reeve meets Leo, I think he is not sure what to make of Leo.  He is instantly attracted to him, but no way will he do anything to jeopardise his new job.  Or at least, that is what he first thinks, but then suddenly things change. 

​Leo is starting a new project, and decides that he wants Reeve on board for this one, someone new, and eager to please.  However, Leo is also attracted to Reeve, and quite out of the blue things between them hot up, and next Reeve makes quite a brave decision. 

I think that Leo actually surprises Reeve, and although he is extremely well off, but he doesn't flaunt things, it is like he just wants to do things to make Reeve happy.  Reeve wants to do things on his own though, and doesn't want Leo to arrange things for him.  Is there a chance for Reeve and Leo to have any sort of relationship, or will some secrets that Leo has be the one thing that pulls them apart?
 

Excerpt



Yeah, this was my idea but I wasn’t prepared to be this close to Leo again. His mere presence overwhelmed me. He smelled so good. I wanted to bury my nose in the collar of his button-down shirt and just…breathe. I told myself Leo was a regular guy like every other guy here, but truthfully, he wasn’t the least bit ordinary. Even in executive chic, Leo turned more heads than the shirtless bartenders. And when he smiled at the young man next to me who offered him his stool, he added another admirer to his list.

I’d never been around anyone who changed the temperature in a room simply by entering it the way he did. It wasn’t his appearance either. His height and sharp sense of style might garner a second glance, but his true appeal was innate. It was in the way he spoke and moved. He didn’t mince words or waste time. He was concise and direct and acted with purpose. I got the impression Leo Rodriguez had a reason for everything he did, including wanting to meet with me.

Leo perched on the vacated stool and then hooked his thumb at me when I didn’t reply. “He’ll have a martini too.”

“No. I mean, yes. But with olives, please. No onions.” I thanked the bartender then swiveled to face Leo, accidentally bumping his knee.

I muttered a quick apology and cautioned myself to pull it together. Leo wasn’t my boss anymore, for fuck’s sake. I just wished he didn’t make me so anxious.

Commence the nervous chatter.

“Onions? No one orders onions,” I snorted. “And vodka-soaked onions are especially gross.”

Leo’s lip curled on one side like a pirate. “When was the last time you had a vodka-soaked onion?”

“Uh…well, never,” I admitted with a frown. “But it sounds gross.”

“Chocolate covered scorpions and braised frog legs are gross. Onions aren’t in the same zip code.”

I made a face and shivered. “Have you actually eaten those things?”

“Yeah, and actually, they’re not so bad. Chocolate hides the taste of anything, even insects, and frog legs taste like chicken. But you never know unless you try.”

“No thanks.”

Leo tsked playfully. “You have big opinions, a big mouth, and a hot temper, Nelson. No wonder I like you.” He nodded his thanks when the bartender delivered our cocktails then raised his glass in a mock toast. “To onions.”

“Onions?”

“We sure as fuck ain’t drinkin’ to olives,” he quipped.

I chuckled at his comedic expression then sipped my martini while I wracked my brain for a non-confrontational topic of conversation to stall the inevitable one.

“What do you have against olives?” Weak. But it was better than nothing, and Leo seemed willing to play along.

“Nothing. It’s a texture thing. I don’t eat them if I can help it but I love olive oil. And tapenade is cool as long as those little suckers are chopped really fine. Otherwise, olives are a hard pass for me. Everyone has a food like that. What’s yours?”

“Kidney beans,” I replied quickly. “I like them in chili but not in salad. I have a great recipe for spicy chili that requires multiple glasses of water on standby. My grandmother made it when we were kids and”—I stopped to take a gulp of my drink before braving a look his way—“I’m sorry. You make me nervous.”

“Why, Reeve?” he purred, leaning into his elbow on the bar next to mine. “Is it because of last night?”

Blurb

​Luke Sumner has spent his whole life being coddled, after nearly dying as an infant. At twenty-one, he is more than ready to break free from his restricted world. He hasn't told anyone he's gay, and he's only just admitted his kinkier needs to himself, but he hopes to work up the courage to say something to the older man who has captured his attention.

Since moving back to Ames Bridge, Jack Lawrence has been consumed with running a successful bed-and-breakfast. He hasn’t considered making time for relationships until he starts flirting with Luke each week at the farmers' market. By the end of the summer, Jack is wondering where the spark between them could go.

When Luke finally ventures into a club where he can fulfill his desires, he unexpectedly runs into Jack, and they discover they're a perfect match in the bedroom. With each hot encounter, more tender feelings surface, but between the age gap, not being out in Ames Bridge, and Luke’s need to come into his own, do they dare be more to each other?
Picture
 This is actually the third book in the series Ames Bridge, and I haven't actually read the first two books, but I found this did not matter at all.  I will be going and buying the first two books, as I love series with recurring characters. 

I really for Luke, it is like his family has permanatly wrapped up in cotton wall to protect him, and this has been the case since he was seriously ill as a child - but he is now 21 years old, and nothing has changed.  This is also probably why Luke has never told anyone that he is actually gay, and I have to admit I don't blame him. 

It also seems like the whole town of Ames Bridge thinks he is fragile - well all except for Jack.  Jack and Luke finally meet when Luke goes to a gay club, but not just any gay club, this was a club for Luke to explore his kinkier side, which he has been exploring on the internet. I'm not sure who was more shocked when they met either!! 

Jack and Luke start to meet in secret, where Luke can actually be himself - although they never meet where anyone from Ames Bridge will see them.  They spend more and more time together, and Luke really seems to be coming out of his shell, and this is all due to Jack. 

However, Jack is a lot older than Luke, plus nobody knows that Luke is gay, and it was inevitable that someone would see them and report back to Lukes family.  Now is when Luke has to make some decisions, but suffice to say he is not happy at what Jack proposes, But what Liam can't seem to grasp, is that Jack wants Luke to be happy. 

Is there any chance for Luke and Jack?  Can Jack get Luke to see things from his side, and why he proposed what he did?

Excerpt

​Every time Jack stopped at the Sumner stand, Luke became a tongue-tied mess. Luke doubted today would be any different. He couldn’t take his eyes off Jack as he examined the berries Cal had for sale. His long-fingered hands gently cradled each basket as he searched for the best one. The gray pants he had on clung to his ass and his muscular thighs, and his deep-blue shirt would bring out the color of his beautiful eyes.  Jack looked his way, and Luke quickly dropped his gaze, praying Jack hadn’t seen him.

For all Luke knew, Jack was straight as an arrow and would be disgusted if he realized Luke fantasized about him. But he’d seen Jack assessing other men in a way most straight men didn’t. The fact that Luke had noticed meant he’d spent far too much time watching a man who probably thought of him as a kid. Why did he always crush on
older men who were out of his league?

When Jack crossed the grassy area between the rows of booths, Luke’s mouth went dry and his pulse pounded in his head.
“How’s the afternoon going?” Jack asked.
“Um…fine. It’s…uh…hot.”
“It is. It shouldn’t be this hot so far into September.”
“Right. It…um…shouldn’t.” Great. He was making a fool of himself.
“How’s your corn?”
The change of subject threw Luke at first. “Oh…um…it’s still producing. We’ve got some beautiful ears right here.” He pointed to his left where he’d placed the corn in bushel baskets. Produce was a safe subject. He could talk produce in his sleep.
“Great. I’ll take some. I’ve got a recipe for a Mexican casserole I want to try.”
“For your guests?”
Jack nodded.
“You…um…you seem to like choosing recipes for them.”
“Cooking for people has become my favorite part of running the inn, which has really surprised me.”
“Yeah?”
“Before I decided I wanted to run my own inn, I was, at best, a mediocre cook. I knew I wouldn’t be able to hire anyone to cook for me, though, so I started watching videos and practicing, and now I’m quite good, or at least the guests think so.”
“I bet you are.” Heat filled Luke’s face as he realized how breathless his words sounded.
“You should stop by the inn for breakfast sometime.”
“Oh, um…” Luke’s heart pounded.

“Since your family supplies so much of the food, it only makes sense for you to see how it gets used. And I like to show off my skills because I—”
“Worked hard for them.” They said the words at the same time.
“I know that feeling,” Luke said.
Jack smiled. “I guess you do.”
Unlike most people, especially anyone older than Luke, Jack didn’t patronize him. He simply acknowledged that Luke had worked hard for opportunities a lot of people took for granted.
“Call me if you want to stop by one morning.”
Luke would love a chance to spend more time with Jack, but he also knew he wouldn’t have the nerve to call. If he let Jack feed him a delicious breakfast, he’d be even more of a wreck around him than usual, or, even worse, he might lose his mind altogether, follow Jack into the kitchen, and try to seduce him right there.

Victor Kalinski and his husband, Dan Arou, are living the dream. Married for over a year now, the couple have settled into life in Cayuga surrounded by friends, family, and a team that’s poised to make another championship run. Each man is enjoying professional success as well as personal bliss. Who knew life in the suburbs with a spouse and a child could be so darn satisfying? Not Vic. K, that’s for sure.

The happy times are about to turn rough, though. The Cougars have picked up a new player, Sander March, a brash young center whose sass, skill, and attitude can rival Victor’s. When it’s revealed that this new player and Dan have history, tensions begin to rise between the newlyweds. As Victor and Dan work on those issues, the one person Victor never thought he would meet arrives in the small New York hamlet and proceeds to flip everything in Vic’s life upside down.

Can Victor and Dan’s marriage withstand what life is about to drop on it, or will the challenges be too much for them to handle?

Picture
If I am completely honest, I think it would have helped if I had read the other books in this series before reading this book, just to get a better grip of the other characters within the book. 

I did enjoy this book, but at times I would get frustrated with Victor, to me it almost seemed that he was trying to sabotage his marriage, but then the more I read I realised he was doing some things, not realising the impact of what he had either said or did. 

Now Dan more or less comes across as a saint, and at times I was wondering why he was sticking with Victor, but he is the love of his life, and there was no way that Dan was going anywhere, especially when an old flame joins the team.  At first I thought it was jealousy that fueled Victor, but thinking about it later, I think he felt vulnerable and was scared that Dan would would see that he was hard work, and that he could have a better life with someone else.  

Victor and Dan work hard to overcome the issues raised by the old flame, someone who Victor's past now enters the scene - and this person completely upsets Victor and his life.  Now Victor and Dan have to work even harder to overcome even more issues being thrown at them - but can they survive this latest obstacle?

Devon Murphy has never believed that there were fairies at the bottom of the garden, but when he’s in an accident on his way to his grandmother’s house and comes face to face with the biggest, baddest wolf he’s ever seen, he’s forced to reconsider.

When his grandmother asks him to look into a string of suspicious accidents, he finds a much bigger mystery to unravel. From his childhood best friend to the too-attractive Deputy Wade Hunter, everyone in Rowan Harbor seems to have something to hide. Devon has to get to the bottom of it all before the accidents turn deadly.
Picture
This is one book that I rea;;y had problems getting into, but I honestly believe that was down to me, rather than the book itself.  Although I did enjoy reading this book once I got into it, I feel that this book is more or less setting up the story for following stories in this series, but sadly I don't think this series is one for me. 

Devon is returning home to Rowan Hunter, which is where he was for most of his young life, but he doesn't even manage to get there in one piece, having an accident not far from his destination, and it is here he encounters a huge wolf, but rather than hurt him, it seems to want to try and help him. 

When he finally makes it to his grandmothers house, Devon actually seems rather unsettled, but this could be due to his injuries from the car accident, or are they?  Then his grandmother talks to him about some "accidents" that have been happening to the local schoolteacher, and she asks him to look into them.  

Devon then spends more time going around Rowan Hunter, but things seem rather strange, and then there are the dreams that he has been having.......

Author Bio

Sam wrote her first fantasy epic with her best friend when she was ten. Like almost any epic fiction written by a ten year old, it was awful. She likes to think she’s improved since then, if only because she has better handwriting now.

If she’s not writing, she’s almost certainly either reading or lost down a wikipedia rabbit hole while pretending to research for a novel.

No Fear

No Shame Series Book 3

Nora Phoenix

Release date: December 27, 2017

no fear ebook

Cover Design: Sloan Johnson/Sloan J Design

BLURB

Aaron is drowning. After coming out as gay, he lost his parents’ approval, his job, and his sense of identity. He feels like a freak who doesn’t fit in anywhere. His last hope was his brother Josh, but Josh can’t seem to forgive him for how Aaron treated him when they were teens. Not that Aaron can blame him, because he did treat Josh like crap.

All Aaron wants is for someone to accept him, guide him, because he doesn’t have a clue. When sexy jiujitsu teacher Blake takes him in and starts mentoring him, Aaron has hope for the first time, even though he can’t understand what Blake sees in him.

Blake doesn’t do relationships. At all. He’s more than willing to help Aaron find solid ground under his feet, but that’s it. Until insecure, vulnerable, and surprisingly sexy Aaron gets under his skin, triggering all kinds of protective instincts that make Blake long for more. He wants to take care of Aaron, give him what he needs, but how can he convince Aaron of that?

When Josh’s friend-with-benefits Indy’s past finally catches up with him, it endangers them all—and leads to heartbreaking decisions for everyone involved.

No Fear is a steamy M/M romance that ends with a HFN for Aaron and Blake, but has a continuing storyline as well. It’s the third book in the No Shame Series, and is not a stand alone novel, so make sure to read the first book (No Filter) and the second book (No Limits) first. It contains hot sex, a little kink, more hot sex, very mild puppy play, and a beautiful friendship-with-benefits that transcends labels. Also: trigger warning for mentions of sexual abuse.

Picture
Wow.... that is what first comes to mind when reading this book.  I thought books 1 and 2 were brilliant, but this series just seems to be getting better and better - hats off to Nora Phoenix for this.  I think my new favourite character in this series is now Aaron, and once you read about him you will understand why. 

When we first met Aaron, I like many others I suspect, decided he was not a nice person, but I was so wrong - I was judging him before I got to know the real Aaron, and listened to his story. Even his own brother Josh thought he knew him, but boy was he so wrong about that.  You may have hated Aaron, and he admits he did wrong by Josh, but that is just the tip of the iceburg, there is definitely more to Aaron than meets the eye.  

Now enter Blake, with whom Aaron is staying as he is homeless, jobless and he is just so lost.  For some reason Aaron seems to bring out a protective instinct in Blake, and even Blake seems surprised by this.  Aaron has a front that he uses well, but Blakes seems to be someone who can see straight through this.  The more time they spend together, and Blake gets Aaron working, and begins really mentoring him, the two become closer, even bordering on a relationship, even though Blake seems adamant that there will be nothing between them.  

In the meantime, things are changing rapidly for Indy, Noah, Josh and Connor - as Indy's past most definitely catches up with him, and it seems like they are all in danger, and even anyone who is actually friends with them.  It is around now that Aarons new found confidence seems to diminish again, and he takes things into his own hands, but will this make him happy?

I am not going to spoil what happens, but this book will keep you held in its grip - and when you finish you will be wanting the last and final book in the series to see how things pan out for everyone in the book, especially the sub characters in this book namely Charlie and Brad.

I am really hoping that the final book is as good as the first three, and I can't wait to find out.

EXCERPT

“You can start with plain vanilla sex, work your way up to the kinky stuff,” Blake said with a laugh. “You make it sound boring,” Aaron complained. Blake sobered. “No, and I’m sorry for teasing you a bit. You set the pace, Aaron. If you’re not ready for sex, you wait. If you are, you find someone who will respect you enough to take it slow, okay?” Aaron reached out for his hand and held it tight. “Will you do it?” he asked. Blake’s heart jumped in his chest. Was Aaron asking what he thought he was? “What do you mean?” He needed to be certain. “I want you to be my first.” He looked so cute and pretty and sexy, still in that gorgeous top and the tight jeans. But his words were cute and pretty, too, like a schoolgirl on prom night. Blake needed to manage expectations. “Aaron, I don’t do relationships. I like you, I really do, but don’t read more into this. I don’t date or hold hands or do romantic dinners.” “That’s okay. I don’t need that. What I need is a safe place to gain some experience. You said it yourself, I need someone who respects me enough to take it slow. I want my first time to be good. I trust you. Please, Blake?” Blake couldn’t help himself. He pulled Aaron close and brought their mouths together. At first, Aaron kept his mouth closed. Blake increased the pressure, licked his lips and pushed with his tongue until Aaron let him in. He angled his head a bit more, dove in deep. Aaron’s movements were slow, insecure, but he wound his arms around Blake’s neck and held on. His mouth was sweet, hot. Blake tasted the peppermint Aaron so often suckled on, those white-and-red-striped ones. He teased Aaron’s tongue with his, until it responded, until they were doing a slick dance of push and pull. He was a fast learner, copying Blake’s moves at first, then coming up with a few of his own. He was everything Blake usually avoided. Inexperienced, vulnerable, insecure. Yet kissing him did something to Blake’s body that he didn’t recognize. It triggered a hunger in him, a fierce need to possess, to own. His hands lowered till they reached Aaron’s ass. He put one hand on each butt cheek, pulled Aaron close to him and ground his hips into him. The kid was hard again, and he himself had barely been soft since they had gotten into the dressing room. What was Aaron doing to him? He broke off the kiss, swore softly at the sight of Aaron’s dazed look, his swollen lips. Fuck, Blake didn’t want to stop, not even close. He kissed him once more, the gentlest of kisses. “Not here. Not now.” Aaron blinked. “But you’ll do it?” “Tomorrow. I want you to have time to think about this, sleep on it. If tomorrow in the cold light of day you decide this is what you want, I’m your man.” Nora Logo Gold

When she was a little tot, Nora’s mom got a library subscription for her. That, as they say, was that, and a lifelong love for books was born. Nora never stopped reading and doesn’t exaggerate when she says she devours books, rather than plain reads them. She started writing stories as soon as she could hold a pen, and wrote her first full book as a teen (on a typewriter!). It took her waaaay too long to follow her dream to become a romance author.

Nora writes M/M romance, because hello, sexy boys, and likes her men flawed, strong, and a tad broken. She appreciates a little kink, but insists on a happy ever after.
