  Teacher By: Fiona Cole Narrated by: Ava Erickson, Brian Pallino Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 07-21-20 Language: English Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Categories: Romance, Contemporary SUMMARY   I promised her that I'd live my best life once I was free. It was that promise that led me to Voyeur - to Daniel. What better place to conquer my fear of intimacy than a club that allows you to watch? And who better to help me than the owner himself? On night one, my past comes roaring back, urging me to run like I always had before. This time I ran into his arms. With my fear still clinging to my skin, he brushed it away and made his own promise: I'll teach you. His promise turns to friendship...and friendship turns to passion. We didn’t know what to do with that passion - between the not-so-broken girl and the man who promised to never love again. Daniel and I started because of a promise, and I hoped that we wouldn’t end because of one, too. The la

  Zero Hour Series Boxed Set Books 1-3 By: Aimee Nicole Walker Narrated by: Tristan James Series: Zero Hour, Book 1-3 Length: 30 hrs Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 28-09-21 Language: English Publisher: Tantor Audio Categories: LGBTQ+, Romance SUMMARY   Aimee Nicole Walker presents books 1-3 in the Zero Hour series.  REVIEW   GROUND ZERO This is the first book in this amazing series! Detective Sawyer definitely doesn't anticipate the hostile indifference from his new partner on the very first day in the Savannah Police Department.  However, he is determined to make their partnership work dispite the initial hostility. Royce Locke is a man with baggage and is recently reeling from an unexpected loss. Both men find butt heads in the beginning, but as their bond and partnership strengthens they find they jad more in common than they initially thought. I absolutely loved this sweet hurt/ comfort romance. The characters were likeable and I loved the chemistry between them. DEVIL'

  Publisher  |  Amazon US  |  Amazon UK  |  Amazon CAN SUMMARY   Noiz (Wolf Tadashi Begay) is anxious as he gets involved in the New York City manga artist community who teases him calling him “Gaijin.” The community says he is not “Japanese enough” to be a mangaka while New Yorker’s say he doesn’t “act Black enough.” Having grown up in Japan and on the Reservation after his parents died, his childhood trauma causes Noiz to doubt himself and his talents going on a journey of self-discovery as he navigates being an artist, coming out as gay, and being Hafu (half Japanese and half Native American). He finds he doesn’t seem to fit in anywhere. Turning to Shiro Ijima, the famous Japanese SF writer who initially insults him, the aloof writer uses his own sordid past as a mangaka who was abused by his narcissistic mentor to help Noiz accept that being different does mean inferior but unique.

Ache By: Marley Valentine Narrated by: Gomez Pugh, Teddy Hamilton, Emma Wilder Length: 6 hrs and 56 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 07-28-21 Language: English Publisher: Marley Valentine Categories: LGBTQ+, Romance   SUMMARY   I couldn’t tell you when I fell in love with Gael Herrera, but I wish I knew how to make it stop. Falling in love with a straight man is a rookie mistake. But falling in love with my soon-to-be-married-to-a-woman best friend is nothing but heartache. Through all the years, and all the men I’ve fooled around with, he’s always been at the back of my mind. An unrequited crush I wish I could shake. A dream that was never going to come true. When I whisk him off to a surprise bachelor party weekend in Vegas, I surrender to the idea that this is an opportunity for me to finally let go of my feelings for him and say goodbye. But after a heated exchange and an even hotter kiss, everything I thought I knew about our friendship changed. Maybe I had it wrong. Maybe,
