Release Day Blitz….Sapphire Sunset by C. Travis Rice

“Spectacular!”
—Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author

Sapphire Sunset, an all new beautifully crafted romance from New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice writing as C. Travis Rice, is out now!

For the first time, New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice writes as C. Travis Rice. Under his new pen name, Rice offers tales of passion, intrigue, and steamy romance between men. The first novel, SAPPHIRE SUNSET, transports you to a beautiful luxury resort on the sparkling Southern California coast where strong-willed heroes release the shame that blocks their heart’s desires.

Logan Murdoch is a fighter, a survivor, and a provider. When he leaves a distinguished career in the Marine Corps to work security at a luxury beachfront resort, he’s got one objective: pay his father’s mounting medical bills. That means Connor Harcourt, the irresistibly handsome scion of the wealthy family that owns Sapphire Cove, is strictly off limits, despite his sassy swagger and beautiful blue eyes. Logan’s life is all about sacrifices; Connor is privilege personified. But temptation is a beast that demands to be fed, and a furtive kiss ignites instant passion, forcing Logan to slam the brakes. Hard.

Haunted by their frustrated attraction, the two men find themselves hurled back together when a headline-making scandal threatens to ruin the resort they both love. This time, there’s no easy escape from the magnetic pull of their white hot desire. Will saving Sapphire Cove help forge the union they crave, or will it drive them apart once more?

Fall in love with Logan and Connor today!

Release Day Blitz & Review…Adoring Keaton by Siobhan Davis

Release Date: September 20
A friends-to-lovers new adult MM romance from USA Today bestseller Siobhan Davis. Stand-alone with HEA and no cliffhanger.
Keaton

Moving to California was supposed to be my fresh start. A clean slate. An opportunity to drop the façade, escape the lies, find a focus, and just be myself.

But I should have realized it wouldn’t be easy, especially when my last name is Kennedy.

I’m not ready to be a gay icon or some celebrity role model. I still haven’t admitted the truth to my family or the girl I professed to love, so there’s no way I want the public to know I’m into dudes.

Falling for my hot, straight, football-player roomie wasn’t part of the game plan.

Neither was backing myself into a corner because I trusted the wrong guy.

Now everything is on the line, and it’s time to stop pretending.

Austen

From the time I was a little kid, all I wanted is to play football in college and play in the NFL. As wide receiver for the Golden Bears, I am on track to achieve my goals, but it comes at a heavy price.

Denying who I am—for the sake of my career—goes against everything I believe.

I should never have listened to my high school coach, because all the lies are suffocating me.

Until Keaton Kennedy enters my life, turning it upside down.

Now, there is even more reason to tell the truth, because I’m falling for the famous one and I want the entire world to know.

It’s been a hot minute since I read any books in the Kennedy Boy series. You do not need to read any of the other books to read this one. However, there are spoilers in this book of what has happened in previous books. So if you don’t want anything to be ruined, then I would highly suggest reading them all in order (don’t worry – it’s truly worth it).

I was pleasantly surprised with Adoring Keaton. This is Siobhan’s first MM romance (I have read others before so this wasn’t a deterrent for me). What I found surprising was the difference in the suspense was with this one was but I still thoroughly enjoyed it just as much. A lot of the other Kennedy stories have a action suspense to them, whereas this one had an emotional suspense. But I was still just as engaged in this one because of the deep attraction and the chemistry between Keaton and Austen. It was off the charts HAWT!

Siobhan Davis really writes some compelling and real characters. Keaton and Austen are true testaments to that. I love who they both are individually and together. Keaton has always hidden who he was because of the lime light on his family and he always put others and their needs before himself. Austen has owned he is since high school, but has also kept a low profile because of recommendations he followed from someone he respected.

This story was written through both Keaton and Austen’s POV, which really added in being able to understand both characters better and get a deeper connection to them. This story starts off with them being friends and slowly, over time things become more. There are a lot of unknowns that these two fight against but I love that it’s their support of each other and their love that helps them battle most of them. Siobhan did a great job of having these characters have real and raw fears and strong emotions surrounding their situation. She brings in real life outlook on things and that helps makes this story all the more authentic.

Adoring Keaton is another 5 star read for me. This story is extremely written and flows at a beautiful pace. Even if you don’t read MM romances, I highly urge anyone to read this one. You will be pleasantly surprised but how easily you fall in love with Keaton and Austen.

Heat Stroke by Tessa Bailey…ARC Review

Heat Stroke is available NOW!

Synopsis:

Marcus “Diesel” O’Shaughnessy is a brash, oversized CrossFit enthusiast with a naked lady tattooed on his rippling forearm. Jamie Prince is a private school teacher with an extremely low tolerance for bullshit. The two men have zero in common. Well, except for three things. 

They’re both moonlighting as lifeguards for the summer. 
No matter how hard they try, they cannot stay away from each other. 
And both of them have secrets they’re determined to keep. 

But what happens in the shadows of the Long Beach boardwalk can only remain hidden for so long, before the July sunshine reveals the hot, unrelenting connection they never expected, forcing Marcus and Jamie to decide if they’re simply caught up in a temporary heat stroke or if they’ve found something worth rescuing…

 

My Review:

Ok, so I’m sure you all know I’m a HUGE Tessa Bailey fan so I’m always super exited for a new book.  A little while back she wrote an M/M story and I freaking LOVED it so to say that I was doubly excited for this release would be an understatement and oh boy, it was just as incredible as I knew it would be! *fans self*

I adored everything about this book.  Marcus and Jamie are DELISH! Total opposites in almost every way possible with an attraction that burned up the pages.  It was sexy, it was sweet, it was emotional, it was one helluva ride. The bonus of getting to hang with the rest of the Prince family added the most fab layer and I can’t WAIT for the next in the series! Until then I’ll just be over here sitting in total book hangover mode… *dreamy sigh*

Thank you, Tessa, for another a-freaking-mazing read!

About the Author:

Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days

Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention

She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of eleven years and seven-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.

Excerpt:

“Are you really ok with this?” Chase asks later that night when Tyler slips into his bedroom and curls behind him on his bed. It’s not small but it always feels like it is when Tyler is in it with him.

He’s quiet, so Chase tilts his head back and says, “You don’t have to. We can find another way.”

“I’m ok. We need to do this,” Tyler says.

Chase nods. He touches the runes tattooed on Tyler’s ribs, the ones he marked Tyler with, and Tyler arches into the touch. “Remember you’re mine, Tyler. Whatever happens, whatever she says, you’re mine. And I won’t let her hurt what’s mine.”

Tyler shuffles into him, presses his face into Chase’s throat, and they cling to each other as the night deepens around them.

Excerpt:

He hears the sound of hammering before he reaches the house, and if it had been a slightly better day, he might have turned around at the sound of them, might have said nevermind, but his stomach aches and his face is throbbing from where a kid at school hit him, and he’s so angry he almost wants to fight with the dark haired scowly man.

He trudges forward with dogged determination.

The guy in the wheelchair is parked in the shade near a radio and a folding chair, a blanket tossed over his legs to keep him warm in the cool October air. The younger man—and Chase has decided Scowly Grump is younger—is on the roof ripping shingles off, banging around with dogged determination. Chase doesn’t think he’s actually getting much done, but keeps his mouth shut.

Chase watches for a second, and then Scowly Grump flicks a glance at him. “You,” he says, not surprised.

“Me,” Chase agrees sourly.

“This gonna be a regular thing?”

“Maybe,” Chase snaps.

The guy nods, his scowl deepening. “You got a name?”

He hesitates and then answers, “Chase.”

That earns him a hum of acknowledgement. “I’m Tyler. That’s my brother, Lucas.”

And then he goes back to work, seemingly uninterested in Chase at all, certainly not in the bruise blooming on his cheek. After he watches Tyler for a few minutes, Chase drags his bookbag around and starts his homework. He hears Tyler make another hum of approval from the roof.

When he’s finished his homework, he twitches, anxious and restless. He gets up and hesitates for a moment, expecting some dismissal from the roof, but when nothing comes, he grins to himself and sets about gathering the discarded shingles with real intent.

“You don’t have to do that,” Tyler calls from above him, sounding almost angry.

Chase shrugs and gathers up a few more shingles, tossing them into the back of the pickup with a grunt. “Might as well.”

Tyler falls quiet and then goes back to work, careful to avoid where Chase is picking up shingles when he tosses them down.

Later, when he climbs down from the roof, Chase collapses near Lucas, panting, and he grins a thank you when Tyler hands him an orange and a bottle of water.

“Gonna be dark soon,” Tyler says eventually.

Chase gives him sidelong look. “That you’re way of telling me to go home?”

Tyler nods and Chase blinks hard. He dusts his hands off and stands up.

“Are you coming back tomorrow?” Tyler asks. “I’m gonna keep working on the roof, then.”

Chase blinks at him again, then nods, a tiny pleased smile on his lips.

Undone by You by Kate Meader….Blog Tour Stop with Review and Giveaway

 

 

“Meader (Irresistible YouSo over You) is a writer not to be overlooked… An intense, sexy romance balanced with a message about presumptions.”

– Library Journal

Book Description

Dante Moretti has just landed his dream job: GM of the Chicago Rebels. And screw the haters who think there should be an asterisk next to his name because he’s the first out managing executive in pro hockey. He’s earned the right to be here and nothing will topple him off that perch—especially not an incredibly inconvenient attraction to his star defenseman, Cade “Alamo” Burnett. Cade has always been careful to keep his own desires on the down low, but his hot Italian boss proves to be a temptation he can’t resist. Sure, they both have so much to lose, but no one will ever know…

As Dante and Cade’s taboo affair heats up off the ice and their relationship gets more and more intense, they’ll have to decide: is love worth risking their careers? Or is this romance destined to be forever benched?

 

My Review:

Undone by You is the latest installment in Kate Meader’s Chicago Rebels series and Ms. Meader has done it again.  This story knocked by socks off!

I have to ask…is there anything Ms. Meader can’t write? The answer is nope!  She can write the most fierce of heroines, the most alpha of heroes, all while adding a layer of emotion to each character that has me swooning with every page I read.  This was just another shining example of that, but slightly more difficult to accomplish being that it’s a M/M story.  I have read my fair share of M/M romances and when they’re done well, they are sublime.  When they aren’t done well they can be downright cringeworthy.  This story definitely fits into the sublime category…

Dante and Cade are both dynamic characters. Dante, the smart, successful, openly gay GM of the hockey team.  Cade the charming, funny, closeted defensive player on the very team Dante manages.  I’m sure after reading those two sentences you can gather just a few reasons a relationship shouldn’t happen between them…but alas, that’s what makes it all so fun.  The sexual tension and the forbidden fruit aspect of their relationship is totally delectable and had me devouring this book in no time.

And I have to mention how much I adore seeing all the other characters form this series pop in and out in each book.  It’s become this fun book family I can’t get enough of.

Once again, I have to say that here is nothing Ms. Meader can’t write.  I simply loved this book!

His Convenient Husband by Robin Covington….ARC Review

His Convenient Husband releases TOMORROW, 10/9/17!

 

Synopsis:

NFL football player Isaiah Blackwell lost his husband three years ago and is raising their teen son alone. He lives his life as quietly as his job allows, playing ball to support his family but trying not to draw unwanted attention. His quiet life is shaken up when a mutual friend introduces him to Victor, a visiting principal ballet dancer who is everything Isaiah is not.

Brash and loud, Victor Aleksandrov has applied for political asylum to avoid returning to Russia, where gay men are targeted and persecuted. He’s been outspoken about gay rights in his home country, and if he doesn’t get asylum, going back to Russia is a death sentence.

Their one-night stand turns into a tentative friendship, a relationship they both agree is temporary… until Victor’s denied asylum. Isaiah can’t offer Victor a happily ever after, but he can propose something that’ll keep Victor in the US and safe… marriage He just doesn’t expect his new husband to dance away with his heart.

 

My Review:

I adore Robin Covington and her writing, so I’m sure you can imagine how excited I was to get my hands on an early copy of her upcoming release.  From the blurb alone, I knew this was going to be a captivating story, and was it ever. I loved it!

What happens when you take total opposites, throw them into an impossible situation, add tons of emotions and chemistry, and mix it all together?  You get a story just like this.

Victor and Isaiah are different in so many ways.  Loud vs. quite.  Hard vs. soft. As we know, however, opposites attract and after a bumpy start to their relationship, things click, and when they do, it’s magic. I also adored Isaiah’s role as a single father.  Man, single dads pull at my heart-strings like no other!

I have to say, though, I think a few of the things I loved most about this particular story go beyond just the fabulous  characters, their rocky journey, and their incredible chemistry.  Two very important social issues many are facing today: what it’s like to be a member of the LGBTQ community in a country where it’s just not acceptable and the issue of immigration and how coming to America for so many is a dream they’ve had their entire lives.

Tackling those issues while delivering a story about overcoming loss and learning to love again makes this book a total win in my opinion.

Thank you, Ms. Covington, for a fantastic read!

Cowboys Don’t Come Out
by Tara Lain
 
Blurb:
Rand McIntyre settles for good enough. He loves his small California ranch, raising horses, and teaching riding to the kids he adores—but having kids of his own and someone to love means coming out, and that would jeopardize everything he’s built. Then, despite his terror of flying, he goes on a holiday to Hana, Hawaii with his parents and meets the dark and mysterious Kai Kealoha, a genuine Hawaiian cowboy. Rand takes to Kai’s kid brother and sister as much as he drools over Kai, but the guy sports more prickles than a horned toad, and more secrets than the exotic land he comes from.
Kai’s earned his privacy and lives to protect his “kids.” He ought to stay away from the big, handsome cowboy for everyone’s sake—but since the guy’s just a haole on a short vacation, how much damage can he do? When all of Kai’s worst fears and Rand’s darkest nightmares come true at once, there’s not much chance for two cowboys who can’t—or won’t—come out.

In Distress by Caethes Faron…Review

Book Synopsis:

Goodreads M/M Romance Member’s Choice Award Nominee 2014 Best Sci-Fi

After the Great Destruction decimated the world, science is the new god. Geneticists rule, instituting a DNA-based caste system in their effort to restore the human genome.

As a Zed, Will’s a virtual slave who isn’t allowed medical care. A tragic accident has left him crippled, awaiting death. Just before his time is up, Malcolm, an enigmatic Alpha with two differently colored eyes, sweeps in and buys him. Will becomes part of a family of freaks–other damaged Zeds who should be dead. Life seems ideal until Malcolm makes a request that could change Will’s life.

Malcolm harbors more secrets than his Zeds could imagine. His attraction to Will unravels his carefully cultivated control, and one secret escapes: he craves pain, not just as a sexual release, but as a way to atone for his past. Will may be the one person who can give him what he needs if Malcolm can only allow him into his heart.

As they struggle to build trust, each secret Malcolm reveals threatens their relationship. In the end, their desire for each other may heal both men if they can unlearn the lessons of the past.

In Distress is a dystopian, science-fiction love story and contains adult language and situations.

 my-review

A gripping tale of friendship, family, love, and loyalty mixed with mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat and sexual tension that will leave you filled with desire.

Geneticists are ruling the country and have adopted the caste system from the middle ages. This is their way of preserving mankind and creating a better, stronger, and smarter race in the future. In this dystopian world, where Alphas are of the most esteemed of people, there is one that stands out from the rest. Malcom takes in Zeds (the lowest class) that are broken, those that will be destroyed when they no longer have a use. Will has a deep-rooted hatred for all Alphas since his life has been littered with these overly cruel and brutally sadistic individuals.

Will is very weary of Malcom, but when he gets to Malcom’s house, he quickly learns that he has nothing to fear. It’s at Malcom’s house where he has his first glimpse at family, friendship, and companionship. And it’s in Malcom’s bed where he has his first chance of searing, red-hot desire and deep, penetrating love.

Will this love be enough to keep them together after Will finds out about Malcom’s hidden agenda?

EXCERPT: 

Cres

I believe that love is stronger than death.

That had become my mantra, my focal point in the last seven days, ten hours, and thirty-four minutes since the highway patrolman had knocked on my door.

I’m sorry to inform you that Michael Darby was involved in an accident and died at the scene. He listed you as his emergency contact.

The rest of what he’d said had been a blur.

At first I thought there’d been a mistake. Michael Darby and Mick Darby. I’d never called him Michael. He never called himself Michael. So maybe the cops had it wrong. Maybe there was another person’s life they should be destroying with this bad news that their lover was dead.

So I argued.

Then the officer calmly pulled Mick’s driver’s license out of the leather wallet I’d given him for Christmas.

And then I knew it was true.

Mick was dead.

How could he be dead?

How was that f*cking fair? He’d survived four wartime deployments overseas during his military career. Four years in hell. Only to be killed by a jack slipping and crushing him beneath the wheel of a car.

The injustice infuriated me. Mick being a good guy once again. The Samaritan who always stopped to help. Only this time his helpful nature had gotten him killed.

I wanted to yell at him for being so stupid.

But I’d never get to yell at him again. Or laugh with him. Or touch him. Or tell him I loved him.

He knew. Because you reminded him of that every day.

“Let us pray,” the minister announced.

About Lorelei James:

Lorelei James is the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of contemporary erotic western romances set in the modern day Wild West and also contemporary erotic romances. Lorelei’s books have been nominated for and won the Romantic Times Reviewer’s choice Award, as well as the CAPA Award. Lorelei lives in western South Dakota with her family…and a whole closet full of cow girl boots.

From Lorelei: “Why do I have a particular fondness for all things western? Well, I’m a fourth generation South Dakotan, living in the Black Hills, which is chock-full of interesting characters, including cowboys, Indians, ranchers, and bikers. The geographical diversity of the surrounding area showcases mountains, plains, and badlands. Living in and writing about rural settings gives me a unique perspective, especially since I’m not writing historical westerns. Through my fictional world, I can show the ideals and the cowboy way of life are still very much alive.”
