Synopsis

ebook

Most people I knew had their whole lives planned out from a young age. In some ways, I did too.
I was career minded, wanting to follow in my father's footsteps, but there was something unorthodox about me. Being a twin and having three brothers, I knew I was the odd one out. I always shrunk back and let them take over...
While they were eyeing up girls, I had my head stuck in a book.
I was always different, the complex one, I thought that was all it was.

Sometimes life doesn't take the path you planned and you have to take life as it comes; the good, the bad and the complicated. When I met him, it was like my world aligned. I suddenly understood why I never fit the mould.
On the path to self discovery, I found my kismet: my destiny.
Who was I to question fate?

Review - Dance with Me by Ann Grech



Dance with Me
by Ann Grech 


When twenty-four year old Eddie Taylor joins cruise liner, the MV Dreamcatcher as a dancer, he thought traveling and performing would be the highlight of his life. He never imagined the Dreamcatcher would lead him to hook his fantasy man.

Silver fox, Captain Will Preston, doesn’t date crew members. It doesn’t set a good example for the captain to be bed swapping, but instant attraction has him rethinking his rule for the spunky dancer. Sparks fly and chemistry sizzles in paradise. But Will wants more. Is Eddie his dream catch?




My Review

This book was perfect my Sunday afternoon read.

William is a captain of a cruise ship, his well respected and openly gay. Eddie is a new dancer on the cruise, he has a flamboyant side being a dancer, but just like everyone else he's looking for his special one.

I found their story an easy read, it has all the excitement of a new relationship, but at the same time a deeper feel to their connection. As hotness goes, this is steamy, made hotter by them trying to take there time, well a few dates lol.

I've never been on a cruise, scared of deep water but this has tempted me to consider trying a cruise, well maybe a short one just to people watch!

Living On Air by Susan Mac Nicol #MM #LGBT #NEWRELEASE



Title: Living On Air
Author: Susan Mac Nicol
Released on February 22nd 2018

​
For aerialist, Cary Stilwell, aside from performing forty feet in the air, life holds little comfort until he meets Rhys McIntyre, who punctures all of Cary's defenses.
PIERCING THE NIGHT

Cary Stilwell has been existing since he was ten years old, and each year it gets harder to find meaning in his bleak life. The only exception - his work. As a top-billed aerialist in a popular travelling circus, he enjoys accolades and applause, but little else. When notable photographer, Rhys McIntyre, joins the circus to catalogue its inner workings, Cary fights the attraction that hits him from the moment they meet. But a kind soul wrapped in a beautiful body has a way of battering all the walls Cary has built around his cold, dark heart.

WITH LIGHT

Rhys McIntyre is on his third iteration of reinventing himself. Once a hotdog financier, he embraced his passion for photography and became an eminent war photo journalist. Until one too many bullets lodged in his body, and he gave up the front lines for the softer side of chronicling life. When he accepts the assignment to record life in a circus, the last thing he expects is to find the man crush of his dreams. Except Cary Stilwell is a cold, tortured man who seems incapable of any warm emotion, never mind love. But Rhys is known for his persistence, and this time the pay-off might be more than he could have ever imagined.

 
This book delves into subjects some people may find disturbing. There are elements of the main characters' pasts that include paedophilia, the dark side of religion, and the horrors of war. Aspects of the story include self-harm, depression, and suicide, and the book is set in a circus where clowns are featured.
None of these elements are gratuitous, but instead are included because they are part of the human condition, and are essential to our main characters' journeys. I hope you join Cary and Rhys as they navigate their way to love.

Josh “Jazz” Roman is a small town salon owner with big dreams and an attitude to match. He finds himself in the middle of a case that brings the dreamy detective to his front door.

Unscripted Love (Road to Blissville, #1)

Kyle Vaughn had three goals in life: become a vet, find the man of his dreams, and start a family. He easily checked off the first item on the list when he took over his grandfather’s veterinary practice. Too bad he wasn’t as lucky in love. 

Chaz Hamilton took a leap of faith when he decided to pursue a career in writing, but one best seller didn’t mean he could quit his day job. All work and no play threatened to make Chaz a very dull man when the only romantic action he saw was in the pages of his manuscript. Too bad he couldn’t write his own happily every after.

Circumstances pushed the two men together, and one magical kiss beneath fireworks and stars changed everything. Kyle knew his luck had finally turned around and Chaz found a man far better than any book boyfriend ever written. There was just one problem. Chaz has kept a secret from Kyle that could ruin their chance at a beautiful life together. 

Kyle and Chaz learn that the best-laid plans often go awry, the heart has a mind of its own, and the greatest love is unscripted.

The books in the Road to Blissville series can be read either as standalone books or as part of the series. The author introduced these characters in her Curl Up and Dye Mystery series, but it is not necessary to read it first. This book contains sexually explicit material and is intended for mature adults 18 and older.

Review Post - Survival Game (Men of London #9) by Susan Mac Nicol

 

Heartwarming, Immersing and Sexy

Survival Game (Men of London #9)

Since his true love died, paramedic Eric Kirby has been living a half life, but when he meets purple-haired Kyle Tripper, Eric's heart is jolted into a whole new rhythm.

HANDLE...

Kyle Tripper has led an interesting life. Currently the manager of London's famous Club Delish, he used to be a croupier extraordinaire in Las Vegas. But not everything in that life was so glamorous; his ex was a piece of work. Now gun-shy, Kyle hopes there is someone special out there for him, and secretly wishes it's luscious paramedic, Eric Kirby.

WITH CARE

Every day Eric Kirby goes through the motions. Yeah, he saves lives, and, sure, he makes a difference, but he doesn't feel it anymore - not since he lost his one true. But, when he meets wild, flamboyant Kyle Tripper and learns there's a skittish, apprehensive man beneath the bold façade, the best of Eric's protective nature kicks in, and opens his heart to a new love.



MY REVIEW

Kyle and Eric have both been damaged by life, one by an abusive partner the other through a partner dying - these things both take their toll on the characthers. I found the author dealt really well with the issues - no magic cure, just patience, and therapy!

I have read this authors work before but this is my first in this series, I took to the characrthers well, yes I would have known the backstory to some of the extra characthers if I had read the whole series but I had no trouble following the story.

The author writes so well and immerses you in her story.

This is a heartwarming story, that runs fairly smoothly just a few little bumps along the way in this warm romance.

3 words to describe this book - Heartwarming, Immersing and Sexy.

4.5 stars

Epic by Adrienne Wilder #Guestpost #Review #MMRom



Epic 

by Adrienne Wilder 
June 15, 2017 
319 pages 



Andrew Atler has learned the hard way, fiction is far better than real life. In his romance novels the world is safe, predictable, and there is always a happy ending. Best of all, he can safely fall in love and the person will never know. There he can weave a tale of perfect passion plus pay the bills. 

Matt Grim flies the colors of Hell’s Legion. When he’s not riding his chopper, he’s working as a bouncer for the Six. Matt’s life consists of drinking, playing in a band, and burning the midnight oil in the dungeon. He lives hard, plays hard, and rides even harder. 

Two people who would never be a part of the same EPIC love story. 

But sometimes those fairy tale clichés have a way of working magic. 

And sometimes…sometimes those happy endings do come true.

Reader Questions, Answered:

Reader Question: Along with the psychological scars that Liam suffers in Worth, he carries physical scars too. Do you think there's a fair balance in the romance genre when it comes to showing physical damage over the psychological?

I’m not sure I’m qualified to answer this question but I’ll try.

In my opinion, physical defects in main characters are not done very often. I won’t say this is right or wrong, because we write what we are comfortable with (usually). Physical defects, whether scars or birth defects, or illness, cannot be brushed over and ignored. They are there and cannot be hidden, so it can influence a person’s ability to connect with a character.

Romance is a genre where people want to escape the speed bumps of life. Most people can identify with psychological scars, because most people have experienced them. Physical difficulties are not as easy, especially if you’ve never experienced them. It can make writing them a challenge, and portraying them in a respectable way, more so.
People with physical disabilities, scars, genetic defects, are overlooked in real life because people either fear saying the wrong thing, or simply have preconceived ideas about why the person is the way they are or how they will act (usually mentally).

It’s easy to say you judge people by what’s inside, but we don’t. Not really. The first thing people judge someone on is how they look. It’s ingrained in us as human beings and reinforced by society norms. It’s unfair, but also an ugly truth.

I don’t think people avoid writing about characters with physical defects because they dismiss the value of the person, I think they do it because they are afraid of it not ringing true and afraid of how someone with physical defects would be approachable. It’s the same reason there are not many fat characters in romance books. (And yes I use the word fat because it is not a bad word and using it as a demeaning degrading word needs to change.) It’s hard for a lot of people to see someone who is overweight as attractive and sexually desirable because we have been conditioned by media they are not.

This makes writing these characters, realistically, extremely difficult and you could even say dangerous because someone might interpret what you write as being disrespectful or even hurtful.  


My Review

Matt is a biker, musician and a dom! Andrew appears to be a doormat at the beginning of the book and to be fair I thought about stopping reading the book BUT the relationship between the two got more interesting and Andrew showed more personality. Andrew does not change to fit in, he stays true to his own nature - some may say he needed to 'man up' more but he had a lot going for him, he was not physically perfect or model material but he was kind and had a profession that paid his bills, he is obviously a submissive in the bedroom and there is nothing wrong with that.

Matt was a typical biker, he is quite abrupt and pushy at the beginning but he grew on me and even though he was always a dom in the bedroom, he became more emotionally attached to Andrew.

The storyline was busy a family not accepting their gay son, a bad boy ex (very nasty man!), a biker gang and a romance, it does all sort of come together eventually. I personally feel Todd's twist wasn't needed - it didn't add anything to the story for me.

A shaky start but worth finishing.

Overall 3.5 stars

Sexy rating 4 stars, not as dark/depraved as authors other work!



Bio 


Georgia born and bred, I am an artist, a writer, and a general pain in the ass. 

I spend most of my days working on my next book or designing cover art for other writers. For stress relief I do Olympic lifting and occasionally run (but hate it). I have been in love with writing since I was very young but it wasn't until recently that I decided to pursue it as a profession. 

I have experimented in several genres and found that since I identify as male, male romance has been the most comfortable for me to write. I don't discriminate in my books. All characters are fair game. I do however, prefer a happy ending at some level. 

I don't write the standard romance book. Some might even argue that what I write isn't romance at all. Personally, I think of them as love stories, where even in a fantastical world, there are realistic outcomes to the obstacles the characters face. 

Many of my books have dark turns and twists where the characters fight for the light at the end of the tunnel. I write action, fist fights, gun fights, downright dirty evil people who have to be stopped, things catch fire, blow up, and fall in. My characters come in a unique range. They are not all good guys, but the majority of them have very good hearts. Many of them have been through hell in their lives, and many of them have a laundry list of faults. But hopefully they manage to surprise you with their tenacity and loyalty. 

If all goes well, there will be a myriad of different kinds of books available this year. If I am really lucky, you will enjoy them.
