<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We’ve traveled down a bumpy road, but we’ve finally found the balance.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It’s time to bring a new little rock star into our lives.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I’m Tommy Blade, the Prince of Punk Rock, and this is the next chapter in our story.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Loving two people is never easy, and Tommy Blade fights every day to ensure that his wife and his lover know that he loves them both equally. A commitment ceremony solidifies their pledge to one another and brings them closer together. </span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jessi Blade is a lucky girl. With animosity behind them, she and Angel share a more intimate relationship and their lives flourish. She has everything she ever wanted—except a baby.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Angel Garcia never thought he’d share his life with a woman, no less marry one in a commitment ceremony. When a baby joins their family, it makes him realize how much Jessi really means to him. <br /><br /> The road Tommy, Jessi and Angel travel is never an easy one. Just when they’re at their happiest, an accident may very well change the course of their lives.</span></span></div>

<span id="freeText6582255453195610958">Jax Wheeler has been fighting his own demons for as long as he can remember. One of those demons is from his past, a brother who wants nothing more to see Jax suffer. Working closely with the Cincinnati Branch of the VC Warriors Jax never thought he would find someone who could help him ease his pain, but he was wrong.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having a past of her own, Caroline Fitzpatrick has survived being put into a trance by a madman who wanted to control her sister, a abusive relationship, communicating with the dead, but nothing has prepared her for Jax Wheeler. From the moment she saw him the attraction was immediate, but the attraction was not mutual or was it?</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The more Jax tries to stay away from Caroline, the more he finds himself at her door, in her life. All he knows is that every minute he spends with the beautiful school teacher, the more danger he puts her in. His brother’s vengeance of wanting him to suffer has put Caroline in the line of fire and only Jax can protect her.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We’ve traveled down a bumpy road, but we’ve finally found the balance.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It’s time to bring a new little rock star into our lives.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I’m Tommy Blade, the Prince of Punk Rock, and this is the next chapter in our story.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Loving two people is never easy, and Tommy Blade fights every day to ensure that his wife and his lover know that he loves them both equally. A commitment ceremony solidifies their pledge to one another and brings them closer together. </span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jessi Blade is a lucky girl. With animosity behind them, she and Angel share a more intimate relationship and their lives flourish. She has everything she ever wanted—except a baby.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Angel Garcia never thought he’d share his life with a woman, no less marry one in a commitment ceremony. When a baby joins their family, it makes him realize how much Jessi really means to him. <br /><br /> The road Tommy, Jessi and Angel travel is never an easy one. Just when they’re at their happiest, an accident may very well change the course of their lives.</span></span></div>

Blurb:<br />
“Bros stick together no matter what.”<br />
When Chris and Liam made that promise, they had no idea how important it would become or how it would be tested in the most brutal way. Nine years later, their bond cemented in blood, that relationship is all they have to hold on to.<br />
“No matter what happens, this friendship will be the one constant we can count on.”<br />
When Billy and Owen made that promise, they knew exactly how dangerous the world could be. They survived prison by protecting each other and they survived freedom by holding that promise sacred. Now they want more than just to survive and they want it from the brothers whose bond is as strong as their own.<br />
“We are stronger together than we’ll ever be apart.”<br />
When Owen reaches his breaking point, Chris jumps at the chance to make things right for all of them. With the future in their grasp, will they realize their strength is in their numbers and finally become the family they crave?<br />
Author’s Note: This is NOT a foursome, but the story of two couples that needed to be told together.<br />

Excerpt:<br />
That silence hid a lot from their friends, but Liam knew Chris was plagued with memories far worse than his. That’s why they decided not to celebrate alone this year. Billy and Owen were expected any minute and it was the first time they invited anyone to join them. The anniversary was bittersweet for them and they chose to celebrate it because becoming brothers meant that much to them. “Do you think they’ll find it stupid?”<br />
Chris just shrugged as if it was no skin off his back what they thought and Liam knew that was just bravado. Fact was, they both very much cared what the two men thought. “Liar.”<br />
His brother sighed and dropped his head back. As if shit wasn’t fucked up enough, they fell for two bastards just as fucked up as they were. “I know you’re worried about Owen. The business with Colin is growing out of their control and I’m not sure why he thinks it’s a good thing. Is he trying to prove something? And the middle of the night phone calls from the FTR? He’s looking more and more fragile every day.”<br />
Liam knew he wasn’t stating anything new. What he didn’t know was what Chris intended to do about it. Lately, when it came to Owen, Chris conveyed zero intent and seemed to be waiting for Owen to read him as effortlessly as Liam did. Their brother bond had been forged through blood and he was afraid Chris’s expectations of Owen were unreasonable. “Do you see his face every time he thinks he’s failed to understand you? The weight of it is crushing.”<br />
Instead of regret, all Liam saw was anger in Chris. It wasn’t a common emotion for Chris and Liam could name every time he saw it. The fact that Chris knew what he was capable of if provoked had made him extremely conscious of that emotion and he often went to great lengths to contain it.<br />
Owen was the very definition of insecure. Just the type to inspire Chris’s protective instincts, which Liam knew for a fact Owen did. Hell, he inspired Liam’s protective instincts. Owen was stubborn though and he often distanced himself, keeping things bottled up until they manifested elsewhere. Like in panic attacks that felt like heart attacks, which he also tried to hide. Liam nearly lost it when they found out that Billy was keeping Owen’s secret.<br />
Chris nodded slowly, as if he completely followed Liam’s train of thought and waited for him to connect the dots. And just like that, Liam understood. “You’re pissed because he doesn’t come to you when the panic sets in. That he hides it from you and they hide it from us.”<br />
It made total sense, but he had to wonder if they were expecting too much. After all, they couldn’t call what was going on with either man a relationship. No, they were four fucked up bastards trying to come together in some romantic—what? Not a foursome, eww…he loved Chris, but yeah, that just wasn’t happening. And Owen wasn’t his type any more than Billy was Chris’s type. But—always with the fucking buts, right?—what was happening was very definitely happening to the four of them, and Liam now had to wonder if that was the problem, because trying to come together was definitely not the same as being together.<br />
Chris shook his head and shifted in his seat. No, he was right. It wasn’t just their brother bond that made it impossible to move forward as two separate couples. Billy and Owen had formed their own unique friendship in prison and were no more likely to move forward without the other one either. “Just once, couldn’t we have done something the easy way?”<br />
The fire door banged open and Liam turned to see Billy and Owen, arms full of brightly wrapped packages, struggling to pull a huge cluster of balloons through the door. It was a shocking contrast to their dark thoughts and so uncharacteristically sweet of both men. Billy caught their surprised stare and yelled, “Is this where the party’s at?”<br />
“It is now.” It might seem silly, but it was exactly what they needed and exactly who they needed it from. Maybe they hadn’t been expecting too much at all. Liam rose to give them a hand and glanced down to see the look of longing in Chris’s eyes and thought maybe it was time they all expected more.<br />

Like many readers, the dream of being a writer has been with me a long time. After three decades of trying, I'd begun to doubt. Thanks to social media, I followed my favorite authors hoping to glean some words of wisdom as I pounded out half-formed ideas with alarming regularity. Two repetitive themes emerged: to be a great writer you<br />
must read a lot and your butt must be in the chair every day like it's a job. The more you write, the easier it will be to write and the better you will be at writing. I took that advice to heart and write every day. With six published books to date, three series in the works and a full schedule of releases planned for the next two years, it's been amazing to have made this dream my reality.<br />
<br />
I am a firm believer in marriage equality, love at first sight, power dynamics and happily ever after. I'm a lover of strong secondary characters and series filled with families, biological or chosen. All are themes you'll find throughout my books.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Locked-down at a Los Angeles intervention facility, everyone around Dante Dupont and his Black Ice band mate, Ashton Lane, thought this would fix the issues between them. Dante and Ashton knew differently. What made this a hundred times worse was the fact they were stuck in this room together. They hadn't shared space like this since the one afternoon they both wanted to forget. And, revisiting that nightmare was not an option . . . with or without the help of a therapist.
Two musicians. Same band. Afraid to admit their true feelings, being in close quarters again has them both at their breaking point. They say if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, but neither of them can find a reason to leave, and fighting the fire is becoming more and more difficult to do.
Dante's baggage isn't pretty and his scars run deep, but Ashton might be the one to finally see beyond his past and help him find a way out from the smoke screen he's spent his life hiding behind. In order to get there, though, they'll both have to walk through the flames.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;">So last we met the Rock God's series Dante and Asher were locked in a room for fighting and causing Black Ice to miss a show. Now we get to hear their story and let me tell you they are HOT together! Explosive is how the story starts with the two coming to blows, but soon we find out why they've been at each other's throats, they got together a few months ago but right before they could do the deed Dante found out Asher had never had sex with a man before and he stopped what they were doing. He hurt Asher and then Asher ignored him. Things esculated to the point where they couldn't talk anymore and instead of giving into the desire between them they fought. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;">Now when the therapist actually makes them talk about themselves they each find out things about the other. And eventually they talk about what happened that night and find they were both in the wrong. When they are released each of them want to try to be together but they are both still wary of giving their heart away. What they realize is that they've starting loving each other even when they were trying to ignore each other. </span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;">As always when it comes to the Rock God series I love this book. I had to read it as soon as it came out!! Dante and Asher are great together and I just want to wrap my arms around Dante and hold him! As always we get a group event at the end where we see many of the characters we love and get a glimpse into the next story to be told. And of course I can't wait for the next one to come out!</span></div>

Check out this snip-it:</div>
<blockquote>
Dante's big hand touched Ashton's firm thigh and squeezed. A grin lifted one side of his lips. "Oh, I don't know about the kid comment. The parts of you I've seen look all man to me." Dante leaned in and brushed his lips to Ashton's. "Every...last...inch."</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This story is also so full of emotion. You'll tear up at the most unexpected times just because these alpha men are just so open and honest with each other. Here, for example....</div>
<blockquote>
"You're worth it, Dante, and, I'm not just saying that. You always were. You just needed to believe in yourself."</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the series, in order..... You can read them as standalones.... but why do that? Trust me, you will get SO much more out of the stories knowing who everyone is and how they are all connected. It's a beautiful story.....one I can't wait to see on the big screen!!</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><span style="background: white; font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Blurb: </span></b><span style="background: white; font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Former Navy SEAL Axel Blaze
lives a solitary life. He doesn't do emotions, and he doesn't do babysitting.
Used to being on his own, his job consists of Wetwork (a charming term coined
by the KGB) for his former Master Chief, Mac. When an out-of-the-ordinary job
lands on his doorstep, Axel heads down a path that includes a famous heavy
metal rock band and one quiet, vulnerable, guitar-shredding virtuoso named
Gareth Wolf.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Gareth Wolf's life changed in
an instant when a car he was a passenger in crashed, hurting his brother's best
friend and the band's lead guitarist. They created the band, Skull Blasters, as
kids. Gareth had always been happy in the background, playing roadie. With the
lead guitarist's injury, Gareth is suddenly thrust into the limelight and into
a frenzied life he never imagined for himself. Finally fed up with living a
lie, Gareth comes out as gay in a newspaper interview and finds himself in the
bulls-eye of a crazed stalker. Somebody wants Gareth hurt - or worse - and Mac
has been hired to be sure that doesn't happen. Babysitting duty is NOT Axel's
strong suit, but Mac won't be budged.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Enter Axel Blaze. Against his
better judgment, the big man takes the job to protect the shy musician. The
more time he spends with Gareth Wolf, the more he admires the man. Where's a
simple assassination when you need one? The situation becomes more volatile for
each man as the attempts on Gareth escalate just as Axel finds himself falling
for the quiet lead guitarist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Strong, funny, smart-ass --
and kinda sweet Axel is everything Gareth has ever wanted in a man. Too bad
he's off limits. As the stalker grows bolder, Gareth and Axel move closer
emotionally - but is it too late? All Axel knows is that they don't stand a
chance if he can't find the maniac trying to kill the man he's come to care
about. A lot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Everyone knows that
relationships that begin in pressured or volatile situations eventually fizzle
out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the walls of the Dome as I headed for my designated spot. I guess I’m meeting
Paul, the band’s manager.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

passed through the crowd of screaming, jumping people. </span><span style="background-color: white;">The band was rocking it
out and I sought out Gareth Wolf. There were two guitarists, but I found him
right away. Black hair touched his shoulders and his lean body moved with his
guitar.</span></span></div>

the floor was shaking from the bass drum. The floor-to-ceiling speakers pumped
out the last notes of the song. The crowd immediately went wild as Ransom Fox
leaned over the stage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;"><br /></span></div>

lead guitarist on the planet!” he shouted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;"><br /></span></div>

and bowed with one hand out. Again, the crowd screamed, shouted and whistled.
Ransom went on to give some love to the other members of the group.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;"><br /></span></div>

my way through the crowd toward the side of the stage. A large man eyed me and
then nodded as I walked by. Again, I could have been wearing a ‘Hello, I’m God’
tag and security wouldn’t have batted an eyelash. </span><span style="background-color: white;">As it was, my tag faced
backwards; he couldn’t even see my name or credentials.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

Blaster band was sorely lacking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

bone-jarring hardcore metal before the band finally left the stage. I scanned
the area for their manager, but no luck. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

curtain and fell into step with the band members as they trudged toward their
dressing rooms. They didn’t even notice me — and I’m really hard to miss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

dressing room; I followed and slammed the door shut behind me. Ransom turned
and his eyes widened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

peeking out from behind his brother’s broad shoulders. His eyes were a shade of

You see when I received it I was in the middle of the newest Ann Lister book, and I could not tear myself away from Asher and Dante.

While dealing with his feelings of inadequacy on the stage he is also keeping his sexuality hidden. But now he's decided he can't do that anymore. With the support of the rest of the band and a few rock god friends, he is announcing that he is gay. </span></span></span><br />

Enough that his manager and his brother have hired him a babysitter, but man oh man he's never seen a babysitter like this one. Tall, dark and lickable Axel Blaze, yes it's his real name, not only looks like a badass, he has the resume to back it up. Axel is also gay, and he's an ex-Seal, but Axel doesn't do relationships, he likes his privacy and he doesn't trust anyone. But as the two are thrust together to keep Gareth safe, Axel finds himself falling for the young man who brings light into where ever he goes. </span></span></span><br />

I love rock gods no matter if they are gay, straight or bi. And not only that but I love military men too, I write about one myself. So these two combine to take me on a fantasy through my hearts desires. If you are like me and love music and alpha males you definitely should get this book. You will not regret it! </span></span></span><br />

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Best-selling author, Sandrine (Sandy) was born in
Inglewood, California. Raised by "Old School" French parents, she
later moved to Tucson, AZ. It was there that writing became a hobby. Always
told she had a great imagination, Sandy wrote short stories for her friends in
High School. In college, she took more writing classes while working on her
Criminal Justice degree, but it wasn't until a soap opera caught her eye that
she got involved in male on male romances. On the advice of a friend, Sandy
dipped her toes into the world of M/M Romance. Sandy takes the writing
seriously and has had countless conversations with gay men as well as hours of
research. She's been involved with the military in one way or another for over
twenty years, and has a great deal of respect for our men in uniform. She's
traveled the world, but has finally returned to Arizona.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Samantha, Mason, and Logan are all together and united with one common enemy: Park Sebastian, the king of fraternity douchebags. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With professional football scouts eyeing his every move, Mason Kade has to walk the line for the first time in his life. Any move he makes against Sebastian has to be perfect and under the radar. One mistake, and his career is over. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sebastian has other plans. Mason’s career isn’t his target—not even close. Wanting to destroy Mason completely, Sebastian knows he must hit him where it hurts the most: Samantha, who doesn’t give a rat’s ass that she’s the target. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sam is bound and determined to protect Mason herself, no matter the cost, but what if the cost is beyond her imagination? What if this time, the villain wins?</span></div>

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I drew one of his fingers into my mouth. My tongue wrapped around it. I wanted to forget about my afternoon and how I was going to handle that situation. I wanted to get lost in his arms.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Seeing what I wanted, Mason tipped us both back, cradling me on his chest as he lay down. I was securely in his arms, and he rolled me over, so he was looming above me. His eyes darkened, holding my gaze before dropping to my lips where a small smile showed, and I let go of his finger. The ache for him already started inside me.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A knowing grin formed on his face, and without saying a word, he slipped from the bed to lock the door and flip the lights off. My heart started pounding. The need for him was rising between my legs, and I licked my lips, watching as he took his shirt off. He was all muscle. I could make out every single one of them as he came back to me. The flames were growing hotter and hotter. I wanted to slide my hands over every inch of him. I wanted to feel his weight on top of me. I wanted to feel him inside me.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I wanted him to break the fucking bed for me.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In ten.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I’m not sure if you’re aware of this threesome dynamic,” Logan started.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sebastian’s eyes narrowed. Logan was too cocky, too sure of himself. Sebastian’s head lifted to the side as he kept skirting among all three of us.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nine.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I was next to my brother. They came from the basement section of the bookstore, so Sebastian was blocking his friends from us. His three friends were down a few steps, too far but close enough where they could catch Sebastian.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Eight.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Logan continued, “But the three of us…” He gestured to all of us. “Well, technically, it’s the Fearsome Foursome with Sam, but she’s not here.” His tone lowered, growing more serious. “And she’s not a part of this, so I guess, right now, you can call us the Threesome Fearsome.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Seven.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sebastian was almost ignoring my brother. He was solely focused on me. Fine. I let him see the threat in me and murmured, “My brother’s not kidding, you know.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Logan quieted, edging back so that I was now in the front.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“About what?” His tone was clipped.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sebastian knew. He was remembering Logan’s threat.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I reminded him. “Your sister. Your girlfriend.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Six.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Logan piped in, “But there’s someone.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I added, “There’s always someone.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sebastian grew silent, looking between the two of us.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Five.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nate spoke up, “They’re talking about who’s vulnerable to you, Sebastian.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“You shut up,” Sebastian snapped at him. “You left the house. You don’t deserve the right to talk to us.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">His three friends got riled up at that. They moved forward, and I started eyeing the big one closest to Sebastian. He was a big motherfucker.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Four.</span></div>

We were close. The camera would rotate back. I wanted their focus on me, not Logan. “That was a mistake he rectified.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Three.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sebastian’s eyes narrowed to slits. “I’m going to make both of you sorry that you came back here.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“What about me?” Logan smirked at him.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">No. I wanted Sebastian watching me.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He turned. “I already tried to get your acceptance revoked.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well, holy shit, I hadn’t expected that response.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Logan opened his mouth. His eyes flashed in anger, and he was going to say something to piss Sebastian off. I blocked him. I needed Sebastian and friends’ eyes on me.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Time’s up,” I said calmly, quietly.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It worked. They all turned to me, and Sebastian’s eyes widened. He started to rear back—</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 18.6666666666667px; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline;">I didn't begin writing until after undergraduate college. There'd been storylines and characters in my head all my life, but it came to a boiling point one day and I HAD to get them out of me. So the computer was booted up and I FINALLY felt it click. Writing is what I needed to do. After that, I had to teach myself how to write. I can't blame my teachers for not teaching me all those years in school. It was my fault. I was one of the students that was wishing I was anywhere but at school! So after that day, it took me lots of work until I was able to put together something that resembled a novel. I'm hoping I got it right since someone must be reading this profile! And I hope you keep enjoying my future stories.</span></h2>

<strong>REVIEW:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
You all know that I just LOVE Teresa's Protector Series. I rave enough about it every time a new book comes out. Well get ready to change your panties girls! Teresa is venturing into the shifter realm and our first Alpha is HOT!!!<br />
<br />
Janna is a mutt, well her mom is human and her dad was a shifter. She is afraid to let her "beast" out and has suppressed the shifter side of herself. Now she's on the run, being chased by a group of shifters who marked her mom and herself. And along the way she's picked up two pups. Sparks fly when she goes looking for her father only to find he is no longer leading the pack, the Alpha who is makes her heart beat stronger and pulls on her "beast".<br />
<br />
Garrett realizes who Janna is as soon as he meets her. His mate. Getting the headstrong woman to see they belong together is another thing. She wants to run and he has to figure out a way to keep her safe. The sparks fly between these two from the very beginning and it just keeps getting hotter and hotter! <br />
<br />
If you love the Protector's series you will totally love this one as well! Now I have two series I have to beg more from!!! Teresa next time we are table partners I will have to wring your neck before we have a serious talk about how you made my panties melt again!!</div>

With a past he keeps hoping to outrun, Asher’s been on a downward spiral for longer than he can remember. When his sister-in-law leaves Rory, his eight-year-old nephew, in his care, Asher is forced into two things he’s never been good at: sobriety and responsibility. As he struggles to care for Rory, his own life begins to unravel.<br />
<br />
When Asher’s brother, Alex, turns up, presenting as a girl and announcing her new name is Alexia, it further complicates matters, as does the arrival of his new neighbor, Conner. Both, in their own way, compel Asher to look at his own closely-guarded views on sexuality.<br />
<br />
<br />
When the siblings’ older brother, Cole, reacts violently to Alexia, Asher is placed squarely in the middle of a family conflict which compels him to confront who he pretends to be versus who he really is.<br />
Asher must choose who to trust and who to finally walk away from.<br />

<b>REVIEW:</b><br />
<b><br />This is one of those books that you have to stick with in the beginning to find a redeeming quality with the main character. Asher is not a nice guy. He's very self centered and totally screwed up. And if you are like me you are going to want to put him through a wall a few times before you start feeling sorry for him. That being said the growth of the character throughout the story is amazing. He finally wakes up about half-way through, not that he's not still screwed up but you will like his choices more. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Conner is a god-send in Asher's life, even though he fights tooth and nail to keep him out. Conner is such a good man, who has his own demons to work through but he is so much stronger than Asher. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The supporting cast of this book is wonderful and beautifully written. I love Alexia and Rory is a sweetheart of a kid that makes his uncles choose to be better men (woman). </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>If you can get through the first third of the book without throwing you kindle against a wall, you will find a story about how trusting those around you to pick you up when you fall can lead you to a peace you never thought to find. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3-1/2 Stars</b><br />

About the author</h3>
LAYLA DORINE lives among the sprawling prairies of Midwestern America, in a house with more cats than people. She loves hiking, fishing, swimming, martial arts, camping out, photography, cooking, and dabbling with several artistic mediums. In addition, she loves to travel and visit museums, historic, and haunted places.<br />
Layla got hooked on writing as a child, starting with poetry and then branching out, and she hasn’t stopped writing since. Hard times, troubled times, the lives of her characters are never easy, but then what life is? The story is in the struggle, the journey, the triumphs and the falls. She writes about artists, musicians, loners, drifters, dreamers, hippies, bikers, truckers, hunters and all the other folks that she’s met and fallen in love with over the years. Sometimes she writes urban romance and sometimes its aliens crash landing near a roadside bar. When she isn’t writing, or wandering somewhere outdoors, she can often be found curled up with a good book and a kitty on her lap.<br />

Story Blurb:<br />
Tony Wilcox, the quiet keyboard player for Ivory Tower, has always believed he was straight. A sexual encounter with his best friend leaves Tony questioning his heart and the unwavering attraction he has for Jared. Living and working together is no longer enough for Tony... he wants more. He wants Jared as his.<br />
Jared Baker, the bass player for the band, has a past that is getting in the way of him fully embracing what he wants... Tony. He's tried everything to create distance between them, but none of it eliminated the feelings he has developed for Tony.<br />
Trying to suppress the anger and confusion from Jared withdrawing from his life, Tony does his best to get beyond the feelings he has for his friend. When Jared becomes deathly ill, it's Tony that he calls for help and Tony has to decide if he can heal Jared without giving away too much of his heart.<br />
Can best friends find their way to true love and discover if they were meant for each other, or will the challenges of life force them to choose separate paths?<br />

Excerpt:<br />
Jared continued to gently rock his hips against Tony to ease them through the aftershocks, then leaned in to offer Tony a soft, lingering kiss. When Jared's eyes opened, Tony was staring up at him. The intensity of that gaze took Jared's breath away and he rose up to his elbows again.<br />
“You okay?” Jared asked with tenderness.<br />
“Isn't this where you freak-out and leave?” Tony asked.<br />
Jared's eyebrows bunched together. “I told you, T, I'm not leaving,” Jared replied. “Being with you like this only makes me want more, so much more.”<br />
Tony pushed his fingers through Jared's hair and tucked a piece behind his ear. “There's no girl here between us to act as a buffer, and no other logical way you can pretend this didn't happen. Can you blame me for thinking you might bolt once the buzz of this wears off?”<br />
“I know my track record with you isn't the greatest, but things are different now—I'm different,” Jared proclaimed.<br />
“How so?” Tony questioned.<br />
Jared ran the back of his fingers across Tony's cheek. “I guess you could say, I finally found the balls to admit to myself what it is I'm feeling,” Jared said. “More importantly, I found the backbone to come here and tell you.”<br />
Tony shook his head. “I'm sorry if I'm being skeptical about this, but you've either run or pushed me away at very pivotal moments. At this point, I'm finding it difficult to understand where you're coming from, and what's really going on inside your head.”<br />
Jared dropped down to Tony's chest and his face rolled into the bend of Tony's shoulder. It took a few seconds, but Tony's arms finally wrapped around Jared's back and<br />
Jared nuzzled in closer. God, he loved the warmth of Tony's embrace. It offered so much more than comfort. It felt safe.<br />
“I'm so sorry for putting you through that, and if there was a way I could take it back I would,” Jared said with his lips against Tony's neck. “Truth is, I had trouble...accepting things.”<br />
“Do you think it was easy for me?” Tony asked. “Jesus! How do you come to terms with wanting your best friend like this? There's no easy way to accept something like that. You either go with what you're feeling, or walk away, and that's what you seemed hell bent on doing.”<br />
“I'm here now, T, and that has to count for something,” Jared whispered.<br />
Tony shifted beneath Jared and they both felt the come cooling on their skin. Jared eased off to Tony's side and rolled from the bed. He walked into the bathroom and returned with a towel to clean them both. When he reached the bed, Tony was already using tissues from the nightstand to wipe the mess off his stomach. Jared climbed back onto the bed and finished cleaning Tony with the towel, then tossed the towel onto the floor and stretched out on his side facing Tony. He slid his leg over Tony's thigh again, dropped his head to Tony's shoulder, and ran his fingers over Tony's chest and stomach. He loved the way Tony's soft dusting of hair tickled the pads of his fingers.<br />
“I don't know how I can prove it to you, T, but I will. And, I'll keep on proving it to you every fucking day you'll let me,” Jared's voice was soft, but he knew Tony was hearing every word loud and clear. “I'm not running, and I was serious about wanting more.”<br />

REVIEW:<br />
<br />
Can I say I love this series enough? No I don't think I can. Following the guys from Ivory Tower and Black Ice is a favorite past time of mine! Jared and Tony are the final two Ivory Tower members we see get together and it is both heartbreaking in the beginning and uplifting at the end.<br />
<br />
We find out more about Jared's past and why he hesitates taking his relationship with Tony to the next level. Poor Tony puts his heart out there only to have Jared kick him to the curb at first. But Jared quickly sees the error of his way and works hard to convince Tony that he's stopped running and is willing to give them a chance.<br />
<br />
As always with Ann's books, the sex is steamy! And I love that she winds the other characters into the book so we know what's going on in each of their lives!<br />
<br />
I can't wait for the next book and hope that even though it will be about Black Ice members, we can revisit the Ivory Tower guys! <br />

AUTHOR BIO:<br />
Ann Lister writes erotic love stories using beautifully drawn characters; flawed and emotionally damaged, and at the height of their careers, each in search of the one thing that still eludes them: love.<br />
<br />
The Rock Gods series gave her Bestselling Author status on Amazon. Each book in this series brings her two favorite elements together: musicians and the love between two men. These stories focus on what it truly means to love; love unconditionally, love without restrictions or labels, love without fear or judgment – to just simply love.<br />

As Sergeant At Arms for Devils
Pride MC, Tyler “Trick” Malone’s take no prisoners reputation make him one of
the most feared and respected members of the club. Unbeknownst to the MC, Trick
indulges his most dangerous secret, traveling out of state twice a year to
trade his cut for the whip he expertly wields at a gay dungeon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Trick’s well organized life takes
a turn when he saves bar back, and terrified submissive, Chase Ward in a
Georgia dungeon. With his protector and dungeon owner dead, Chase is no longer
safe in the place he once called home. With the new dungeon owners circling
like sharks, he desperately begs for sanctuary in the arms of his savior.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A year later, the MC is still
none the wiser that Trick’s houseboy is anything more than a grateful servant.
Chase knows, if the club finds out their secret, they will kill Trick—the man
he’s come to rely on for everything from the food he eats to the pleasure he
feels to the security he craves. Even when gratitude turns to love, Chase never
expects reciprocation from his ruthless Master. After all, the only way for
them to survive is if Trick remains the heartless bastard the MC knows.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Trick is positive he has it under
control and having Chase around has definitely made his life easier. There doesn’t
seem to be any harm in letting Chase take a part-time job at Velvet Ropes,
especially after meeting privately with the owners. That is until a bomb
explodes at the club, leaving Chase fighting for his life and forcing Trick to
face his long hidden feelings.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Even if Chase survives, that bomb
has done more than rock the foundation of the popular leather club. It’s blown
Trick and Chase’s well-guarded secret out of hiding, putting their lifestyle
and their lives at risk. Now there is only one thing Trick needs to do before
the club gets them and that’s to get revenge on the person who dared to hurt
his precious boy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Authors Note: </b><i>Tricking Chase
is a direct spin-off of The Protector, which is book 3 in my Sizzling Miami
series. Though I tried to provide enough details that it isn't necessary to
have read that book, I cannot really call this a standalone. Tricking Chase
contains an established D/s relationship, hot guys on motorcycles, an
undercover DEA agent named Snake and a few visits from fan favorite Sizzling
Miami characters.</i><b><o:p></o:p></b></div>

<b><u>Excerpt</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The fact that Ty found Chase’s
worry endearing was a glaring reminder that he was still thinking with his dick
a year later. It was irrelevant that he warned Chase how dangerous staying with
him would be. The boy had nowhere else to go and was riding high on hero
worship and multiple orgasms. Not doing more to push Chase away was the only
regret he had in life. Regretting it didn’t change anything he’d done after. In
the end, nothing else mattered except seeing his collar around that slender
neck and losing himself in Chase’s willing submission.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Five minutes,” Ty agreed. Chase
didn’t need further clarification. His boy scrambled up and Ty barely had time
to brace before Chase was wrapped around him. Embracing didn’t come naturally
to him, but then boldly asking for such an embrace didn’t come naturally to
Chase. The boy found it comforting and maybe he enjoyed it, but he didn’t have
to say so aloud. And maybe he didn’t look at the clock either, but then Chase’s
OCD wouldn’t let him go too far over the requested time. And just maybe he
would take the opportunity to nuzzle the collar he painstakingly crafted.
Though he was used to welding bike frames, once they had reached their
agreement, Ty knew exactly what kind of collar Chase would wear. One made from
his own hands, with pieces of him carefully woven through. Every time he saw it
resting around Chase's neck there was such a sense of rightness that it overrode
all common sense.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><u>Review</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
I've read books 2 and 3 of the Sizzling Miami series and urge you to read that series before you start this one. The characters from that series are so ingrained into this book that to do otherwise will leave you a little lost.<br />
<br />
I love Ty!! He is such a hard ass but underneath he has a soft side. The fact that he's only with the MC to find his sister who disappeared while Ty was in the army melts my heart. But be warned Ty is a dominant. He can wield a whip with the best of them and he has submissives lining up to feel his bite.<br />
<br />
Chase has been abused by both his master and the doms Chase is shared with. When his master dies he begs Ty to become his protector. Chase is a sweet character who falls hard for Ty. Unfortunately their relationship has to be kept hidden from most people. When they are drawn into helping Chase's cousin and his lovers, Chase is injured and Ty finally finds out what happened to his sister.<br />
<br />
There are many twists and turns in this story. I loved the way each character grew from the beginning to the end. I can't wait to read the next book of the series. </div>

<b><u>Author Bio<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
"Wearer of Many Hats"
is a title that was given to Jessie by a former employer some twenty years ago.
This dubious distinction, along with the job description "everything is
her fault", came after she fixed an electrical problem during her
interview that the office had been having for years. After that, if anything
went wrong, her coworkers immediately declared it her fault so she'd have to
fix it. This position of importance inspired the owner to convert a closet into
an office, thereby providing her coworkers endless opportunities to refer to
her as “the girl in the closet.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Today she is still the “Wearer of
Many Hats” and her family has readily jumped on the “everything is her fault”
bandwagon. Most mornings start at 5am, where she stumbles into her home office
(which is step or two up from a closet) to tackle her personal email, watch gay
porn and satisfy her Trivia Crack addiction. By six, she’s caffeinated and
ready to take on the world. Wearing her favorite red power nightgown, she expertly
designs websites, provides SEO and social media services, freelances as a
bookkeeper, cooks, cleans and writes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Writing has been the elusive,
life-long goal that seemed to be getting further away as the years went by. It
took 30+ years to achieve, but she’s decided that timing is everything. The
world wasn’t ready for m/m romance back then, and now that it is, the girl in
the closet has finally found her writing home.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Jessie is a firm believer in
marriage equality, love at first sight, power dynamics and happily ever after.
She’s a lover of strong secondary characters and series filled with families,
biological or chosen. All are themes you'll find throughout her books.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">One wild night leads to heartache…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Tori Glen loves her new job as an image consultant for Thurston-Hughes Inc. The trouble is, she’s also in love with the three brothers who own it, Oliver, Rory, and Callum. They’re handsome, successful, aristocratic, and way out of this small-town Texas girl’s league. So she remains a loyal professional—until the night she finds a heartbroken Oliver desperate for someone to love. Tori knows she should resist…but it’s so tempting to give in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">And a desperate plan…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Callum and Rory have denied their desire for Tori, hoping she’ll heal their older brother, who was so brutalized by his late wife’s betrayal. But when Oliver cruelly turns Tori away in the harsh light of day, she tenders her resignation. Rory and Callum realize that to save their brother, they must embrace the unconventional sort of family they’ve always wanted—with Tori at its center. And it all starts with seducing her…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">That could lead to happily ever after—or murder.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Isolated with the brothers at an elegant English country manor, they begin awakening Tori to the most sensual of pleasures. But consumed with regret, Oliver won’t be denied the chance to embrace the only woman worth the risk of loving again. What begins as a rivalry veers toward the future they’ve only dared to dream of. But a stranger is watching and waiting for a chance at revenge. Can the brothers come together to embrace the woman they love and defeat a killer?</span><br />

REVIEW:<br />
<br />
This is the first of this series I've read and I really enjoyed it!<br />
<br />
I do feel that if I had read the earlier ones I would have felt a little closer to the characters. These four have been in each others lives for a while and the past does come into play during this book. That being said, I had no problem connecting with these characters.<br />
<br />
Tori is a great character, she's trying so hard to be the independent woman she wants to be, she just doesn't realize that she can have her job and the men she loves.<br />
<br />

<blockquote>
“Rory, what are you doing?” she demanded.
He was supposed to be the reasonable one, but he’d proven that looks could be deceiving.
Rory kicked opened the door to the hallway. Kicked it open. Yeah, nobody noticed that and it certainly didn’t make her ovaries melt at all. Nope. She didn’t like this side of Rory. Well, no part of her except those softening pink bits and maybe her heart.
“I’m taking charge.” He strode down the hall. He didn’t pause or hesitate. When he walked past reporters, he didn’t bother to look their way. He was a man on a mission.
“Put me down! You can’t carry me off. I thought I was supposed to smile at the press and make my nip slip go away.” Though she’d actually planned to be long gone by now, Tori realized it was too early to leave.
“I don’t care about that. Your breast looked stunning. If it ends up on the front page, I’ll make a poster of it. I don’t care what other people think. I’m done with that and you need to be done with it, too.” He stopped when they passed a security station. The guards allowed them into the palace’s private family wing. One even grinned as he opened the door for them.
Once the door closed, they were alone in a grand foyer. The heavy portal blocked the sounds of the party. Now that her surroundings were quiet, she could practically hear her heart pounding.
Finally, Rory stopped, and she found herself on her feet again. Tori tried to catch her breath as he pressed closer and invaded her space. “This is too fast.”
His fingers brushed her jawline. He dipped his head low. “No. We’ve dragged this out for months. I won’t slow down. Now that I’ve made the decision, I can’t wait any longer.”
His mouth descended on hers in a slow slide. He clutched her hips, pulling her into the cradle of his muscular thighs. His lips took hold of hers, molding in a dominant glide. Her whole body went soft and she was grateful for his arms around her. They held her up when all she wanted to do was drop to her knees.
Rory was kissing her. Finally. Callum had mentioned topping her. She knew what BDSM meant to well-meaning Doms. It meant they cared about her. It meant they protected her and watched over her. She might be naïve, but that was what it meant to her sister and husbands. BDSM didn’t guarantee a happily ever after, but it should mean she got a say in whatever happened. If they were going to this much effort, surely she meant something to them.
Tentatively, she let her hands roam Rory’s shoulders and back as his tongue plunged inside her mouth. There was no questioning lick. He dominated, delving deep. His tongue slid along hers, luring and tempting Tori.
Every cell in her body seemed to soften, and she felt her pussy growing slick and wet. Heat burned through her flesh, and she slid her left leg against his to get closer. Rory answered with a groan, pressing her against the wall and pushing his erection against her. He felt so big, so hard. Tori writhed against him, trying desperately to rub herself against his cock and satisfy her growing ache.
His forehead pressed to hers as he took a long breath, trying to calm himself. “Keep doing that and I’ll prove to you I don’t mind risking a scandal. I’ll pull up this skirt and fuck you right here.”
She had to be the sensible one. “I don’t think this will work.”
“The sex will be divine. I already know it.”
Tori had no doubt of that. “I meant anything more.”
“We’ll make it work, sweetheart.” He brushed another kiss against her lips.
All the reasons it couldn’t work pressed on her. The Thurston-Hughes brothers were overwhelmingly possessive men. How could they share? They fought. Would they fight over her? She’d seen Callum’s anger at Oliver and she’d wondered… “Why were Oliver and Callum fighting the day the reporter came to the office?”
Even as she asked the question, her hands roved over Rory’s hard form. The woman inside her wasn’t sure she wanted the answer right now. That part of her craved what these brothers could give her. She might have been a virgin until Oliver, but she wasn’t stupid. He could offer her more. They all could, and she wanted to feel the pleasure she’d been denied her first time.
He kissed the line of her jaw, then his tongue found her pulse point, making her shiver with desire. “You, of course. You didn’t see the very nice punch I landed. We were fighting over you, but that’s not going to happen again. We’ve talked in detail. Now we’re a united front.”
For how long? If she only wanted a night, it didn’t matter…but deep down, Tori suspected she wanted far more.
Every cell in her body quaked as he kissed her neck. “Rory, I don’t know.”
“Yes, you do. You’ve always known.” He took a step back. “But I’m going to give you a choice. If you’re scared, walk back into that ballroom and I’ll consider the matter finished. I’ll talk to Callum and Oliver, and we’ll court you in a more proper fashion. We’ll be polite and escort you out and take turns like gentlemen. But if you walk into that room with me, there won’t be anything polite about the way we take you. I won’t be a gentleman. I’ll be a Dom. <em>Your</em> Dom, and you’ll know what it means to be utterly possessed by three men who can’t breathe without you. We’ll start preparing you because we’re going to take you in every way a man can take a woman. Think about this because you’re selecting the path we travel. Polite and proper? Or as wild as you can handle it? Do you want to know what it means to submit to men who love you?”
“Yes.” The word was out before she could think about it. It didn’t matter. Despite all the reasons she shouldn’t do this, she couldn’t walk away.
“Then come with me.” He grabbed her hand and strode down the hall.
Tori hurried after him, knowing nothing would be the same again.</blockquote>

Excerpt<br />
<br />
Elliot wanted to throw something at Christian’s head. Damn he didn’t know how Rick could put up with him. He slammed the door on those thoughts because all it would do was remind him that Rick didn’t like him like that.<br />
<br />
“How long do I need to stay at your place?” He asked instead of acting out his thoughts.<br />
<br />
“Until we find Logan and your daughter. I thought you were gay.”<br />
<br />
He wondered how long it would take for Christian to get around to that question. “I’m bi actually, but I prefer to be with men. Much to Laci’s mother’s dismay.” Grabbing the suitcase off the bed, he moved to stand in front of Christian. “I’m ready to go.”<br />
<br />
He followed behind Christian and no matter how hard he tried not to, his eyes wandered down to look at the man’s ass. He liked men after all and he had to not have a pulse for him not to find Christian attractive.<br />
<br />
“I’ll follow you there.” He said when they moved towards Christian’s truck.<br />
<br />
“We’re taking my truck.” Christian stated as he opened the passenger side door.<br />
<br />
“Why? Will I be a prisoner there?”<br />
<br />
“No nothing like that, but Logan knows your car and he can trace it.”<br />
<br />
“I’m sure he knows your truck as well.” He stated not wanting to be confined to close quarters with him.<br />
<br />
“But I have ways around that. Now get in.”<br />
<br />
Yes, strangling him sounded good right about now. Putting his stuff in the truck, he got in with a huff. He didn’t care if he was acting like a child. Christian closed the door behind him and went to the driver side.<br />
<br />
“Have you told Rick that you two were in a relationship?” He didn’t know why he asked that question, but for some odd reason he wanted to know the answer.<br />
<br />
Christian threw him a side long glance then put the truck in drive. He thought he wouldn’t answer, but when they pulled out of his driveway Christian took a deep breath.<br />
<br />
“No he doesn’t know. The doctor told me it’s a high chance he won’t get his memory back.”<br />
<br />
“Oh. I’m sorry to hear that.”<br />
<br />
“I thought you would be happy about that.”<br />
<br />
“Why the hell would I be happy about that? Before we even hooked up, Rick told me he was in love with his best friend. I see that you finally got your head out of your ass and told him you felt the same way about him.”<br />
<br />
Yes, he was upset that he’d been played, but he saw the way Rick looked when he talked about Christian. He wanted someone to look at him that way and would never intentionally get in the way of that.<br />
<br />
“I didn’t tell him.”<br />
<br />
“Why the hell not?”<br />
<br />
“Because he was fucking kidnapped, then put in the hospital and when he woke up he didn’t fucking remember me.” Christian gritted out.<br />
<br />
Well damn. What did he say to that? He didn’t know.<br />
<br />
“Look I’m-“<br />
<br />
“Don’t.” Christian said cutting off his apology.<br />
<br />
They drove the rest of the way in silence. When Christian put his truck in park Elliot grabbed his bag from the back seat and went to stand in front of the truck to wait for Christian. He figured he needed a moment to himself. It had to hurt like a bitch for the man you love to wake up and not remember you. When Christian got out of the truck, they walked to house and entered.<br />
<br />
“Good you’re here. Rick has been asking about you.” Killian said to Christian as they walked towards the kitchen.<br />
<br />
“I’m leaving now. Elliot tell Killian what you know about your daughter and we will go from there.”<br />
<br />
Elliot watched as Christian left the kitchen to leave.<br />
<br />
“I don’t know what you have to do with all of this, but if you hurt him or Rick again, I will personally kill you myself.”<br />
<br />
Elliot turned at Killian’s threatening words. He had no doubt the big bad mercenary would keep his promise. “Like I told Christian earlier, I had nothing to do with this and Rick knew that before he was taken.”<br />
<br />
Killian glared at him for a moment more then took a seat at the table. “Okay, let’s get started.”<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a continuation to Taming His Mercenary and that book needs to be read before this one. So if you haven't read that one be warned</div>

SPOILERS AHEAD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rick wakes up in the hospital with Christian by his side, but Rick has no idea who Christian is. Christian doesn't tell Rick that they are in a relationship, he just lets him think they are co-workers and best friends. But Rick's not stupid just has amnesia, he knows there's more, especially when the nurses call Christian his husband. But getting to the truth is easier to wish for than what happens. Their lives are still in danger and then there is the fact that Ethan and his daughter also need to be protected. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ethan is drawn to both Rick, who he hooked up with briefly and Christian who is reeling from losing his lover but having to live with him. One night finds Christian and Ethan getting drunk together and the walls come down on their attraction. Ethan realizes that he's the odd man out of this triangle, Christian and Rick deserve to be together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Rick finally gets his memory back will everything go back to normal or will the time have changed how he feels about Christian?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really enjoy this series and can't wait for the next segment. It reads like a serial, really easy and quick. </div>

BLURB:<br />
Life isn't always fair, and that’s something that Llewellyn Gardner knows about first hand. His life was on the fast track until one night of extreme passion changed everything.<br />
Now eight years later, he’s still living with the aftershocks of that night. Everywhere he turns or runs, there’s another reminder. What the hell do you do when you try to drown your demons only to find out they can swim?<br />
Shane Smith, Jr. owner of Smith Construction, could see the emotional turmoil within his new employee — it’s why he hired him. There was something about the gorgeous, misunderstood man with the overly expressive eyes that came to their small town with a past no one was willing to overlook. Shane could see the good in Llewellyn, and those eyes of his were a clear window to his soul. Shane wasn't going to let the man live a future of solitude because his past had been plagued with deceit.<br />
Llewellyn wasn’t sure what to think about Shane. After years of protecting himself from being tricked twice, he was now faced with worry again. What would happen to him if Shane didn’t believe his truth, and walked away? Llewellyn wasn’t sure he’d be able to survive being left alone. Again.<br />

EXCERPT:<br />
Llew got in the shower without bothering to turn on the light in the bathroom, opting instead to leave the door open. He’d do everything he could to help conserve in Ms. Pat’s home. Maybe she’d overlook any negative comments about him if he made himself a good tenant. He tilted his head forward and let the hot water beat on the tension-filled spots in his neck. He had it on as hot as he could stand it. Despite the horrifically under-sized shower stall, the water pressure was fantastic. It was almost like a massage. He groaned at the wonderful feeling, the sound emerging from his throat sounding almost provocative. It made him think of pretty brown eyes, and a strong, square jaw with full, sexy lips. Lips that were light pink and soft looking. Llew couldn’t help but fantasize that kissing Shane would be like kissing cotton candy. He licked his own lips, desperately missing the feeling of a man. Eight fucking years. He stomach fluttered at the idea of being close and intimate with Shane Jr. The man’s exterior was the picture-perfect image of a smooth operator, but Llew knew there was a bobcat clawing inside that gorgeous man. An animal that needed taming. Just that fast Llew’s dominant side reared its anxious head.<br />
Oh jesus. Llew could picture it. Could see their strong bodies pressed together, muscles flexing against each other. Shane Jr. wasn’t diesel but he was certainly manual labor built. He no doubt had velvety-smooth, ivory skin covering that armor. Damn. Llew groaned again, running his hand down the ridges on his stomach. He could taste him… oh my god… Shane would taste like the sweetest honey. An addictive taste.<br />
Llew could feel the pulsating in his groin as he thought about Shane. He was horny, beyond horny. He poured some conditioner in his palm and squeezed the head of his cock, focusing on the most sensitive part of him. He cupped his balls and massaged them, every couple seconds giving them a firm tug like he used to love to do.<br />

REVIEW</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Llewellyn Gardner is betrayed by his high school boyfriend. When they are caught by his boyfriend's parents Llewellyn is sent to jail for raping a minor. His boyfriend was seventeen, Llewellyn was eighteen. Eight years have passed and Llew finally gets out of jail but going home isn't all that wonderful. The people in town don't trust him and cause his brother's company to lose clients, so Llew decides it's time to move on. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Llew finds a place to live after helping an old lady with her bags. She offers him the newly renovated room above her garage. Llew finds a job with the very Hot Shane Smith's construction company but he worries that his past will turn both Ms. Pat and Shane against him. Oh and then there's the fact that he hasn't been able to get an erection in eight years, so even if he wanted to be with Shane, he is physically unable. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">I love A.E. Via's books! All the characters are so well thought out and presented. The pain Llew goes through breaks your heart and you find yourself routing for him from the very beginning. He's such a big sweetheart with a dominant side that he's afraid to let out. Shane is a wonderful man who won't take no for an answer and helps Llew work through his trust issues. The two of them together will melt your ereader! </span></div>

<br />
Nina Hardwick has had a rough life since leaving high school, but inside she is still the girl looking for a silver lining. The past several years have left their toll on her psyche, and just as she feels like she’s climbing out of a deep abyss, her life and the lives of millions of others fall into shambles as a virus overtakes the country and leaves a plague of undead armies scouring the land.<br />
<br />
In a desperate attempt to get away from the infected, Nina and some neighbors speed out of town, nearly killing a man on a motorcycle. When they stop to rescue him, Nina realizes that he is the one man from her past she never got over, the guy who should have been her high school sweetheart until she messed it up. But this unrequited love, Kevin Savage, says he doesn’t even remember her. Or does he?<br />
<br />
Nina, Kevin, and her neighbors head to the wilderness and fight to survive not only the plague but also hunger, cold, their inner demons…and even each other. Will they survive and, more importantly, will her heart?<br />

He had become to me everything I always knew he was, and the realization that I had fallen in love with him again struck me hard. It had been an easy slide, one I hadn’t even known I was on until my feet were back on the ground.</span></div>

After our weird past as teens, I didn’t know what to expect from him in the aftermath. I only knew this moment, and I was going to cherish it, hold it tightly in my heart like I might clench a locket in my fist, and then I was going to let tomorrow bring what it would. I would leave this room with no expectations, no hope.</span></div>

I think a storm’s moving in, don’t you?” I turned around in his arms. Part of me didn’t want to. I was sad—profoundly—but felt like I shouldn’t be drowning in that emotion.

REVIEW</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't usually read zombie stories. I don't watch The Walking Dead. I've never been interested in that genre. But I love Jade's books so I decided to take the plunge. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. I love the fact that we are not inundated with zombies every other page. The main characters are not fighting for their lives most of the book. This is truly a love story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jade takes us back and forth between the past and the present so seemlessly to weave the story. We grow to know Nina and Kevin and see their love grow in both eras. I love the fact that Nina is a grown woman with children in college, not the just out of college women that I've been reading about for the past few months. With a more mature woman we see the problems she's had to deal with and the relationship she builds with Kevin is more lasting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope that we will see a continuation to this book, I would love to know what happens next in Nina and Kevin's life. Even though there are still zombies around. </div>

Jamison was born and raised in Colorado and has decided she likes it enough to stay forever. Jade's day job is teaching Creative Writing, but teaching doesn't stop her from doing a little writing herself.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Her work has been labeled romance, erotica, suspense, and women's fiction, and the latter is probably the safest and closest description. But you'll see that her writing doesn't quite fit any of those genres.</span></div>

A Premier lion shifter, Hugh Landry dedicates his life to leading the Berk pride with strength and confidence. Hundreds of people depend on Hugh for safety, success, and happiness. And at over a century old, with more power than can be contained in one body, Hugh relies on a Siphon lion shifter to carry his excess force.
When the Siphon endangers himself and therefore the pride, Hugh must pay attention to the man who has been his silent shadow for a decade. What he learns surprises him, but what he feels astounds him even more.<br />
<br />
Two lions, each born to serve, rely on one another to survive. After years by each other’s side, they’ll finally realize the depth of their potential, the joy in their passion, and a connection their kind has never known.<br />

<b>REVIEW</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hugh is a premier lion shifter, that means that he has a great deal of power and needs help containing it. For the past ten years his Siphon has been standing just behind him taking the excess energy. One night Hugh's life flashes before his eyes, his Siphon tried to kill himself and if he had succeeded Hugh's life would also be over. He has to get to the bottom of the Siphon's pain. When Hugh realizes that he doesn't even know the Siphon's name he sees that he's been looking out for all his pack members but the one closest to him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Johnnie has never had a friend. He's been sequestered since birth to keep him safe, then when his pack needed to join another he was given to Hugh as their tribute to their new leader. For a decade Johnnie has followed Hugh, falling deeper and deeper in love with the man he shares a house with, but Hugh does not acknowledge Johnnie, doesn't even know his name. Johnnie cannot live in the shadows anymore but he cannot seem to kill himself, he self heals any cuts he inflicts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Hugh finally starts to get to know Johnnie, he begins to understand just how badly Johnnie has been treated his whole life. Now Hugh must make his pack realize that the Siphon is a man and just as deserving of notice. While he brings this about Hugh starts to have feelings for Johnnie he's never had for another person. Can fate really have brought him his mate? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I totally enjoyed this story! Johnnie is such a sweet boy and deserves the love he finds in Hugh. Hugh is a great leader who finally finds a peaceful place with Johnnie. They face more than just their past though and the twist makes the story more interesting. CC has done it again! </div>

Cardeno C. - CC to friends - is a hopeless romantic who wants to add a lot of happiness and a few "awwws" into a reader's day. Writing is a nice break from real life as a corporate type and volunteer work with gay rights organizations. Cardeno's stories range from sweet to intense, contemporary to paranormal, long to short, but they always include strong relationships and walks into the happily-ever-after sunset.<br />
<br />
Cardeno's Home, Family, and Mates series have received awards from Love Romances and More Golden Roses, Rainbow Awards, the Goodreads M/M Romance Group, and various reviewers. But even more special to CC are heartfelt reactions from readers, like, "You bring joy and love and make it part of the every day."

Jordie shattered his leg and is on the injured list. He's licking his wounds back in Colorado and he's kicked Kacey out. She's getting too close to him and he needs his space. He can't fall in love with her, not only is monogamy not his deal, but she's his best friend's sister. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make himself get over her he decides to visit his friend Pierre in New Orleans. Pierre is a party hound and when Jordie is engaged in a two-some and re-injures his leg, Pierre drops him off at the local ER. Jordie's doctor is hot and maybe just what he needs to take his mind off Kacey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a set-up to the next book of the Assassins series. We get insight into how Jordie works and what is keeping him from committing to Kacey. Now I can't wait for the book to come out! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The "Men of Ink" series is one of my favorites and I've read them all, so when Chelle said she was including a novella in this anthology I made sure I had to get it! Sam is trying to drown out his feelings for Izzy. She's found her someone but Sam had loved her for as long as he can remember.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sitting in a bar on Bourbon Street, he meets Fiona, a direct opposite of Izzy. Fiona looks like a doll, and when she invites him to walk around NOLA with him he jumps at the chance to get out of his own head. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sam was never really on my radar while reading the series. I thought he was an asshole, but this novella has changed my mind. I found myself really liking him and hoping that he and Fiona found each other. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
From rescue to romance…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Teach a wounded submissive the value of his service. The task ought to be an easy one for an experienced dominant like Henry Webb. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But novice Jay Kress challenges his teacher like no other. Still bearing the bruises of an encounter outside the bounds of safe consensual play, Jay is desperate to submit to the man who saved him—and shamed by his desires. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Henry recognizes the dangers of a relationship built on hero worship. He’ll teach Jay how to stay safe, that’s all. He won’t take advantage of the younger man’s trust. He won’t share his fantasies about his dark-haired, athletic student. He’ll never claim this submissive for his own...</div>

<i>Becoming His Master </i>(R) Excerpt © M.Q. Barber 2015</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-align: left;">
Henry’s watch
showed quarter to eight as he mounted the stairs toting carryout meals for
himself and his submissive. The hour found the second floor a modest hive of
activity as players donned their preferred personas and headed upstairs to the
sandbox. Eventually, he too would join the procession, with Jay in tow. For
now, he turned right and stepped through the wide double doors into the salon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
The area set aside
for himself and young Mr. Kress showed Emma’s unmistakable influence. Tucked
into the farthest corner of the room, a three-panel screen of wood and fabric
created a private dining nook. Best pray the younger man didn’t recognize the
scenes depicted, though the intent shouted for all and sundry to pay heed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
A pair of
yellow-ribboned women cast admiring glances his way. Muting his growl, he
stepped past them with a curt headshake. <i>Won’t
interfere, my ass.</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
A paean to Greek
mythology and literature graced each panel. Achilles and Patroclus circled each
other with shields and spears, their sandaled feet the only flesh not on view.
Apollo strummed his lyre while a boy—Hyacinth, given the field of flowers—lay at
his feet. Beautiful Ganymede proffered a cup beneath the sheltering wings of
Zeus-as-eagle.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
Stalking across
the room, he considered the ready excuses sure to be on Emma’s lips. A shield
to keep the boy from prying eyes, lest his table manners prove less than
impeccable. Hadn’t he himself insisted on protecting Jay from possible
criticism? No, of course the scenes hadn’t been deliberate. Convenience had
dictated the choice. In no way had she meant to imply Jay Kress was his <i>eromenos</i>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
His beloved boy.
His to mentor and protect. His sweet lips to kiss, his beautiful thighs to
fuck.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
Cock pressing at
his fly, he swore in silence. Was there no mercy to be found?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
He rounded the
screen.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
Jay sprang to his
feet.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
No. No mercy at
all.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
Despite Emma’s
claim, his student wore a suit as well as he wore leather shorts. Temptation
beat at him, an unrelenting pressure, the image of his submissive on his knees
with the same earnest delight on his face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
He forced himself
to turn and deposit the bag on the table. Slow and easy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
“You’ve set a
lovely table.” He told himself navy wasn’t Jay’s color, despite the good sense
he’d shown to pair his suit with a solid white shirt and a pale blue tie with a
diagonal thin-stripe in white. “I trust your wait has been a pleasant one?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
“Yes, Master
Henry.” Jay stood straight and tall, a slender vision of grace. “Mistress Emma
showed me what to do.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
“It’s just Emma,
my boy. No title. She’s a submissive here, as you are.” He unpacked the tote.
Salads first, the light containers atop the others.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
“But she’s in
charge of things.” Jay tilted his head. He started to roll his shoulders before
stopping himself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
Warm foil
container deposited on the table, Henry paused in his work to study his
submissive with more care. “Yes, she handles some functions at the club.” The
neat half-Windsor had to be Emma’s doing. “She also submits to her husband.”
Likewise, the white rose boutonniere pinned with Jay’s red ribbon, the symbol
of his ownership. The younger man’s purity and innocence bound under his protection
and control.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
Pinned. Of course.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
“Tell me, how many
pins did it take until Emma was satisfied with the drape of your jacket?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
“I’m not sure,
Master Henry.” Jay half-smiled, his eyes shining. “She made me stand still for
a long time, though. Do you like it?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
With such an
enticing invitation, he smoothed the fabric from the lapel to the right
shoulder.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
Jay caught his
breath and rocked his hips.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
“Quite handsome,”
he murmured. Such promising responses his pupil gave, eager physicality
impossible to miss. “But you cannot relax, can you? Afraid you’ll disrupt her
handiwork if you so much as breathe too deeply.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
“I don’t mind,
Master Henry.” <i>If you like it</i>, he
didn’t say, though the worship in his gaze made the words unnecessary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
Humming, he traced
the edge of the lapel downward and unfastened the button holding the jacket
closed. “I mind.” Hanging the jacket on the chair back wouldn’t do any harm.
“Your comfort is my responsibility during our time together.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
He pushed the coat
from the boy’s shoulders. He’d remove his own to ensure his dinner partner felt
no awkwardness.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
“No, no, please.”
Jay clutched at the fabric, fighting the motion, his voice rising. “Master
Henry, please.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
What the devil was
he—<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
“Please don’t take
my ribbon, I’m your good boy, I’m yours—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
Henry kissed him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
He knew the
instant their lips touched he ought not have done it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
Soft and pliant,
the younger man opened his mouth with a throaty little whimper.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;">
Irresistible. A
possessive haze descended, snarling heat pushing out from his center. He ground
his cock against his submissive and claimed his mouth.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>

<b>REVIEW</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Henry saves Jay from an abusive Dom who ignored his safeword. The young man was beaten and shamed and when Jay shows up at the club looking for another Dom, Henry gives in and decides to teach him to be a sub. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jay will do anything Henry says, and there in lies the problem, Jay won't say no. He won't use his safewords and that is a dangerous thing for a sub, especially when there are Doms who will abuse him around. Henry only has a few weeks before the Dom that hurt Jay is allowed back in and he is determined that Jay will be armed with enough self worth to stand up for himself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved the way Henry fought the growing relationship with Jay. His reluctance to use Jay for himself gives us great tension within the story. Jay is a sweetheart and you can't stop yourself from wanting to hug and protect him. Henry can't either, there in lies the problem as Henry does not want to fall for Jay. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I enjoyed reading about these two and seeing how they both grew as the story went on. Four Stars! </div>

Nina Hardwick has had a rough life since leaving high
school, but inside she is still the girl looking for a silver lining. The past several years have left their toll
on her psyche, and just as she feels like she’s climbing out of a deep abyss,
her life and the lives of millions of others fall into shambles as a virus

In a desperate attempt to get away from the infected, Nina

motorcycle. When they stop to rescue
him, Nina realizes that he is the one man from her past she never got over, the
guy who should have been her high school sweetheart until she messed it
up. But this unrequited love, Kevin
Savage, says he doesn’t even remember her.
Or does he?<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Nina, Kevin, and her neighbors head to the wilderness and

<b>Excerpt</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
All those thoughts were in my head, whether buried or at the
forefront, as the tears began to stream down my cheeks. I hardly registered when Kevin pulled me into
his chest and held me tightly as I sobbed, letting it all go.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Once my crying jag was over, I marveled at the man holding
me. It wasn’t too long ago that he had
said he never knew what to do when someone was crying. So I swiped at my face and nose with my hand,
realizing his coat had absorbed a lot of the teary evidence, and looked up at
him. “You did just fine,” I said.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
He started laughing.
“So did you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Then I laughed hard.
Between that and the tears, I was beginning to feel like a whole new
woman. “No, I didn’t mean <i>this</i>,” I said, waving my hand toward my
back, indicating the fully dead bodies in the snow behind me. My voice was softer when I said, “With me
crying. You said you never knew what to
do when someone started crying.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
“Oh.” Kevin was a
quiet man, speaking less now than he had when he was younger, but I believed I
had rendered him mute.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
“What you did right there was perfect.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<h3>
Excerpt</h3>
<blockquote>
Rob emerged from the hallway wearing an Oakland A’s baseball cap.<br />
“I didn’t know you were a baseball fan.”<br />
“I’m not much of one, really, just supporting the home team. I’m going to a World Series party after our drinks.”<br />
“You live in Oakland?”<br />
“Yep.” He came and stood very close to me and pointed. “South of Cal’s clock tower, near Rockridge BART Station, so I take a train into the city for this project.”<br />
“So many trees. It must be pretty there.”<br />
“I like it.”<br />
“Does Chris live with you?”<br />
He shook his head. “We split up.”<br />
“I’m sorry.”<br />
“Me too.”<br />
“Well, if you ask me, it’s Chris’s loss, not yours.”<br />
“Trent, what I meant was I’m sorry I wasn’t completely honest with you in Arizona.” He looked at me as if I knew what he was talking about.<br />
“What do you mean?”<br />
“Chris was my boyfriend, not girlfriend.”<br />
As I gazed into his handsome green eyes, comprehending his revelation, a crust around my heart ruptured, and feelings I’d stored for him rippled through me. I felt the office sway as I tried to steady myself.<br />
Then my knees buckled and everything shook.<br />
Plate glass quavered. Lobby chairs lurched. Kaleidoscopic serigraphs rattled and fell off walls. Fluorescent light tubes popped from fixtures and shattered around us. A big beige computer monitor flew from the reception counter and exploded on the parquet floor.<br />
Rob seized my arm and tugged me under the counter. The ground vibrated beneath my hands and knees, and the ceiling cracked so hard I feared it was caving and rubble from floors above would bury us. Something hissed, and I felt drops soaking my suit. I looked up. The fire sprinklers were on. Rob grabbed me and pulled me close, and I shut my eyes and nestled against him hard. If I were going to die, at least I’d be in the arms of someone I’d loved.</blockquote>
<br />
<b>REVIEW: </b>Trent has gone to San Francisco for a job interview. He's spent the last of his money on the plane ticket and a new suit. The interview is a bomb and Trent is depressed, but then he runs into Rob. He'd had a crush on Rob in college but Rob disappeared. When he sees him now the attraction is still there, in fact it's even deeper. Rob invites him to have a drink and before they can even get out of the building an earthquake rocks the city. Now Trent is stuck in SF and Rob has taken it upon himself to make sure Trent has a good time while waiting for the airport to reopen.<br />
<br />
Rob had been attracted to Trent in college but he was also in a relationship. When that relationship went south he moved to San Francisco to follow his dream. Now that he has Trent in his sights he doesn't want to let them go. Follow Trent and Rob on a quick jaunt where Trent meets a few of Rob's interesting friends and the two get closer. <br />
<br />
This is a quick read and the characters are both nice guys. I love the supporting friend characters, they bring a colorful background to the story. I read this first as part of the Stranded compilation and it is one of the stories that stuck with me.<br />
