Title:  A Hunted Man (The Men of Halfway House #2)

Author: Jaime Reese

Release:  April 29, 2014

After surviving ten years in prison, Cameron Pierce is attempting to put the past behind him. He tries to adjust to his newfound freedom with a place at the halfway house and a job. But one lesson he learned in prison keeps him guarded: hope is a dangerous thing.


Hunter Donovan, Assistant State Attorney, is a man of justice who loves a challenge. After a lifetime of putting his career first, a milestone brings him to a harsh realization—he's lonely.


Hunter's world changes when he meets Cam. The wary young man intrigues him and awakens a desire unlike anything he's ever experienced. When Cam's past resurfaces and threatens to rip them apart, their budding relationship is challenged and Cam's hope for a future begins to dim.

These outside forces hunting Cam will stop at nothing to send him back to prison. But they'll have to get past Hunter first.

Hunter stood in line and watched Cam tend to the few lingering post-lunchtime customers. Cam's smile came a little easier and his stance less guarded.

His body, although still lean, was tighter and a little broader from the yard work at the halfway house. A slight tan colored his skin now, the faint golden tone further accentuating the blue in his eyes and the white of his smile. His hair had a sprinkling of highlights as if the sun had kissed his head. Sunrises gave him hope, but they also seemed to awaken a natural physical beauty that had been hidden for far too long.

"How can I help you? Sir," Cam said when it was finally Hunter's turn at the register.

Hunter leaned over the counter. "You know that drives me nuts."

Cam smiled and grabbed Hunter's tie to pull him closer. "I know." After a quick peck, Cam released him.

Hunter reached over and rubbed Cam's stubble. "Are you letting this grow out?"

Cam shrugged. He looked away and scratched his growing scruff. "It makes me look older."

"Since when do you want to look older?"

Cam shrugged again and fidgeted with the receipts.

Realization finally hit Hunter. He grabbed Cam's chin and forced him to make eye contact. "Are you doing that for me?"

Cam's mouth narrowed and his brows lowered. "There's not much I can do for you. So if growing some hair on my face will make you feel a little less self-conscious, then I'll grow a full fucking beard if I have to."

Jaime Reese is the alter ego of an artist who loves the creative process of writing, just not about herself. Fiction is far more interesting. She has a weakness for broken, misunderstood heroes and feels everyone deserves a chance at love and life. An avid fan of a happy ending, she believes those endings acquired with a little difficulty are more cherished.

Excerpt: (MM) Harvey and Jay's first kiss!... He wanted more. His sex life had been a revolving door—never taking time to get to know the guys he shared his body with. He wanted a relationship with substance. And the first opportunity he had to meet a man who might fit the bill, what was he doing? The same thing he always did.

Jay forced himself to stop fantasizing and pay attention. “What do you do for a living?”

“I’m an orthopedic surgeon.”

If his cock hadn’t already been pressing against the seam of his jeans, finding out Harvey was a surgeon would have done it. There was something so sexy and rock star–like about surgeons. Not just doctors. They were doctors who cut people open and put them back together for a living. The stress of having someone’s life in his hands would have killed Jay. Harvey had to have balls of steel. Balls of steel that Jay wanted to lick and nibble and… Distractions! “That sounds really interesting.”

“It can be. Some surgeries can take eight to ten hours. It’s a young man’s game.”

“You’re not old,” Jay insisted.

“You should see me with my clothes off,” Harvey joked.

Jay didn’t laugh. “I’d like to.”

Harvey stiffened, and Jay immediately regretted coming on so strong. After all, he was the one who’d said he was looking for more than a one off. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. At least not out loud.”

It took a second, but Harvey laughed. It was rich and warm and vibrant. When he stopped laughing, he leaned forward, his blue eyes gazing directly into Jay’s soul. “I’d really like to kiss you.”

The unexpected request made Jay’s stomach flutter. “I’d like that very much.”

Harvey stood from his side of the booth and scooted in on Jay’s side. “Is this okay?”

“Yes,” Jay said, a little breathlessly.

Harvey placed his hand on Jay’s face, caressing his cheekbone with his thumb. “Your eyes are amazing. I’ve never seen anyone with quite the same color.”

Jay replied by leaning in, pressing his lips to Harvey’s for a brief, but tender kiss. The older man’s lips were supple, but dry. Very nice. No sloppy kissing there. He smiled, appreciating the hungry desire in his date’s expression. He slid one hand inside Harvey’s jacket, copping a feel of his toned abs. “You have a great body.”

Powerful yet tormented warlock Quinn Fairmont must initiate the silver-eyed Cade Mairston into the world of witchfinders, Withinners, and what can happen when two men fall truly, madly, deeply in love.

THE WORLD IN SHADOW

In modern London,, there lurks a warlock. Quinn Fairmont. Dangerous, powerful, tortured. Sharing his body with the soul of an ancient Welsh sorcerer, Quinn is never alone—and never wholly himself. He fights against all those who would exploit his kind. He also takes pleasure where he can find it.

In the forest of Hampstead Heath, Quinn's hometown, Cade Mairston appears like a waking dream. Lithe, lean and silver-eyed, he evokes feelings in Quinn unlike any other: along with lust comes true affection, immediate and shocking. Cade is clearly more than he seems. And yet, though a man of the world, Cade knows nothing of warlocks, witchfinders or Withinners. He knows nothing of what he is, what he might be, what he might feel. For him, the story is just beginning, and magyck, peril and passion await.


     5   STAR REVIEW

Double Alchemy by Susan Mac Nicol is a brilliant, Paranormal MM novel!

Tormented, Warlock Quinn Fairmont must initiate the gorgeous Cade Mairston into a world of Witchfinders and Withinners and wait until you see what happens when these two men fall madly in love. Modern day London is where Warlock, Quinn roams the city. He shares his body with an ancient sorcerer, so Quinn is never alone. He will defend his kind at any price. Cade is a beautiful, lean and silver-eyed hottie and he brings feelings out in Quinn. Cade is more than he appears to be as he is a worldly man but knows nothing about the world of Warlocks.

Every Warlock at around the age of seven, is paired up, body and soul with a Withinner or an ancient Sorcerer. Quinn's sorcerer is Taliesin. They can't be in the same place at the same time. When Quinn needs Taliesin, he evokes him and they change places and Quinn is then sent to his sorcerer's century. I absolutely loved this twist and idea of swapping locations and I found it so imaginative! The Witchfinders or basically witch hunters, one main goal of theirs is to rid the world of warlocks and witches.

Quinn meets Cade, and the instant attraction and chemistry was so beautifully written as I felt their deep connection from the very start of the book. I loved the Withinner concept and Taliesin was such a fascinating character that I wanted more and more of him, he was so beautifully written about. Cade struggles to understand the complicated man he loves and his equally confusing life as he knows he will never fully understand it. Quinn has a lot to deal with as he is saving himself, his kind and the man he loves. Will Quinn and Cade have an HEA? Will Quinn and Taliesin be able to defend their kind and save their loved ones? Will everyone survive at the end of this story?

I completely loved this beautifully and highly detailed written Paranormal story! This wasn't a predictable story by any means. How Susan Mac Nicol takes us on a ride through this very creative and engrossing world that you will not forget, anytime soon and will be wanting more and more of it. I am a huge fan of this author and Double Alchemy, doesn't disappoint by any means at all. I highly recommend this hot, steamy, love, paranormal and so beautifully written story!

Leaving his freedom behind, let alone Scott, might be more than he can bear.

As an avid reader my entire life, I’ve always dreamed of writing books that brought to others the kind of joy I feel when I read.

But…I never did anything about it besides jot down a few ideas and sparse scenes.

When I turned 41, I decided it was time to go after my dream and started writing. Within four months, I’d written over 150,000 words and haven’t stopped since. I’ve found my passion by writing about sexy, alpha heroes and smart, tough heroines falling in love and finding their passion. I’m truly living the dream and loving every minute of it.

My tagline is…

Passion and adventure on the road to Happily Ever After. I have to admit, I am loving this adventure!

Jack is the second YA and Paranormal book in the Leeches Series by James Crawford!
 
Jack Barely was a popular high school student, captain of the swim team and one of the hottest guys in school. Everything was taken away from him, his popularity, his grandmother and the most important, his friend Caleo who he loved and the Leeches are to be blamed for it all. Leeches are the most dangerous group to the humans as they have the powers to turn invisible, freeze people and turning into water to avoid capture. Jack's struggle now is to stay alive and protect his twin sister which is not the easiest task in the world. Jack now hears that his beloved Caleo is alive which starts the hunt for his friend. Will jack find Caleo before the Leeches destroy any chance he has to save his friend and tell Caleo how much he loves him.
 
I loved reading this book through the eyes of Jack perspective as book one was through Caleo's. It was such great reading about the possible love triangle between Jack. Caleo and Nolan. Those Leeches are about to destroy everything in Jack's life including his family, friends and basically everything that he loves. Jack is one of my favourite characters and it was so beautiful written to see him fight for his friend Caleo and the love they share. The way the author describes in detail about the characters was so brilliantly done. This was one of the best YA and Paranormal books that I have read in a long-time! I highly recommend this beautiful novel to anyone who enjoys the paranormal, danger and young love!

Guarded Desires (Book 4 in the Uniform Encounters) by Morticia Knight and this books stands alone! 
 
The latest of the Uniform Encounters Series is Guarded Desires and this novel has a hot and beautiful Guardsman, a rough around the edges DEA agent and a very dangerous Mexican Drug Cartel. Whose going to make it out alive? Stephen Morris, is an agent from the DEA office who has quite comfortably created a nice relaxing life for himself. Normalcy is very important to Stephen and he spends his time relaxing at home. His partner from the agency is Rigo who with his family spends a lot of time with Stephen. He is assigned to the border crossing in Arizona so this assignment keeps him very busy and not much time to dwell on his non-existing love life. He is ready to find that special guy to fall in love with and share his life. Guardsman, Joseph Pirelli the 22-year old is on duty for the border patrol and assist the DEA!
 
The drug cartel, Vasquez is a very vicious crime organization that is waging war against the innocent civilians on both side of the border. Now Joseph and Stephen are working together to bring down this cartel but Josephs past might be revealed. Joseph is really into Stephen, even with their age differences but has a hard time trusting people due to his tormented past. Stephen is ready to find love again, with that special someone and could it be Joseph. They will definitely have many things to work out in order to be together.
 
Morticia has done it again with a beautifully and very detailed novel in her Uniform Encounters series. What I love about her stories is the amazing characters that she creates and the conflicts that she puts these men through. Her writing is brilliant and how she describes Stephens abusive past was hard to read but at the same time it gave us a glimpse into what he has gone through and why it is so difficult for him to trust other men. Her knowledge of the crime and DEA world is quite fascinating and I loved reading about it. The great connection between these men was so hot to read. Will Stephen and Joseph end up together? Better question, will they survive the war against the vicious cartel? I highly recommend this novel by Morticia Knight to anyone who wants to read about love, hot men, crime world, acceptance and unconditional love than Guarded Desires is the book for you.  

M/M Erotic Romance author Morticia Knight enjoys a good saucy tale – after all, who doesn’t? Since she loves several genres, you may find your heroes in a contemporary, historical, paranormal or sci-fi setting. One of her passions is bringing people's fantasies to life on the page, because life is too short for even one boring moment. Her stories are volcanic in heat, deep in emotion, and sprinkled with doses of humor. When not indulging in her obsession for books, she loves the outdoors, film and music. The Pacific Northwest is the ideal spot to enjoy both hiking and beachcombing. Once upon a time she was the singer in an indie rock band that toured the West Coast and charted on U.S. college radio. She now resides on the northern coast of Oregon, where the constant rain and fog remind her of visits to family in England and Scotland when she was a child.

She is currently working on the Gin & Jazz series about the glitz and glamour of 1920’s Hollywood – with more naughtiness to follow in 2014

REVIEW

Following Chase by J.J, Scotts is book two in The Chase Series!

I suggest reading book one, Being Chase first as it gives a better understanding of the characters Liam and Chase for the basis of their story!
 
Liam Collins has been hired to basically act as the face of author, Chase Preston, through attending writing functions and dealing with his fan base. Not everything sounds so perfect! Chase won't keep his hands to himself and Liam can't help being aroused by the mysterious author. Liam is now more confused than ever regarding how Chase is after him. He keeps thinking and asking Chase, are you gay but receives no answer, so Liam has no clue what's going on between them. Liam has now completed his first public appearance as Chase and has a better understanding of what he has been hired to do. The hot and sexy interactions between the two men escalate but something occurs that could bring on danger. This was not a large book so I do not want to give anything away for the reader.
 
I can't express enough how much I love the writing of author J.J. Scotts! The way she writes those sexy scenes between Liam and Chase without the overt sexual references. They are subtle at times but very erotic and I for one, can't get enough of those scenes. It was especially fun to read how Chase completely ignores or is berating and making fun of Liam one minute and then the next thing he is all over him. Poor Liam is always so confused as what to expect from the mysterious Chase but it is fun for the reader and very sexy!
 
I love the slow building relationship of the two men and how sexy their encounters are. I highly recommend this novel, Following Chase by J.J. Scotts to anyone who wants to read a beautifully written, suspense and sexy story. Will Liam and Chase end up together? I for one can't wait for the third installment of The Chase Series!

Lust Emergency is the third installment from the Uniform Encounters Series by Morticia Knight! 
 
There is a new ER doctor in town who is steamy crazy hot and now a beautiful exotic paramedic can't stop from starring at the new doctor. A bomb at the city hall changes everything! 
Terrance is a paramedic who loves spending his free time at Phoenix's sex club called Sinsations but he is missing something in his life and he can't figure out what that exactly is. He is thinking that maybe the problem is that he needs a more serious relationship in his life opposed to the causal sex he has been enjoying at the club. Now if only the new hot ER doctor was gay!
 
ER doctor Jackson has lost his long term partner and is now very happy to be living alone with his cat....Mr.Nibbles. Jackson believes that he has already had his chance at true love and now he will be content to spend his life with MR.Nibbles. There is a female nurse who likes Jackson and is very pushy in her attraction to him and tries to grope the hot doctor but he pulls away and yells...I Am GAY! Well this does not sit well with her as she can't believe anyone wouldn't want her and she spreads malicious rumors about the good doctor. I found myself so upset with her and I wanted something bad to happen to this nasty nurse.
 
Sexy chemistry between the two men is undeniable and Jackson wants to take it to the next level but will Terrance be able to resist his temptations at the sex club and will he break Jackson's heart. It might turn out that the bomb threat proves to be more of an obstacle to their new love than themselves. These guys have to work on their issues while at the same time have been put on the scene of the bomb threats.

This hot and sexy book contains BDSM, sex toys, hot sex and I mean hot sex and multiple partners so if you like a steamy sexual MM novel than I highly recommend this beautifully written book by Morticia Knight!
