SUMMARY   "Pearson’s a common name.” “It can’t be him.” “God wouldn’t be that cruel.” A painful history Walking into the job interview confirms Ben White’s worst fears. It’s been eight years since high school, yet he can still recall Wade Pearson’s taunts. There’s always a chance Wade isn’t the same homophobic asshole Ben knew. Yeah, right. Except the boy Ben remembers has grown into one seriously hot, brooding man. In another life, Ben would have climbed him like a tree. Wade’s gaze still makes Ben shiver - although now for entirely different reasons. A secret longing As soon as Wade read Ben’s application, he knew he had to see him. Ben’s still as gorgeous as Wade remembers. It’s obvious he doesn’t expect to get the job, given their history. But Wade has an agenda. He has to make it up to Ben for treating him so badly - not that Ben will ever know why he acted like he did. Seeing him every day only heightens Wade’s regret. If he’d had more courage back then, maybe he and Ben cou

JUST A BIT OBSESSED BY ALESSANDRA HAZARD : BOOK REVIEW

Just a Bit Obsessed Straight Guys, Book 2 By: Alessandra Hazard Narrated by: Joshua Macrae Series: Straight Guys, Book 2 Length: 4 hrs and 27 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 02-13-21 Language: English Publisher: Alessandra Hazard Categories: Erotica, Literature & Fiction Publisher's Summary Alexander Sheldon likes order and control in his life. He isn’t happy when his girlfriend invites another guy for a threesome. Alexander believes in monogamy, and he’s never been good at sharing his things. It doesn’t help that Christian rubs him the wrong way from the beginning. But what starts as animosity turns into something else. Something unexpected and very wrong. He was never supposed to touch Christian. He was never supposed to feel possessive of the guy. And he most definitely wasn’t supposed to want Christian more than he wants his girlfriend. It’s a recipe for disaster. This book contains some M/F/M scenes, but it has a M/M HEA. Book two in the Straight Guys series. REVIE

 Bishop A True Lover’s Story By: A. E. Via Narrated by: Tor Thom Length: 13 hrs and 10 mins Publisher's Summary At only 32, Bishop Stockley has lived a hard-knock life. After doing five years in a federal prison, Bishop is back at his dad's trailer and working for his landscaping company, thrust into a legit world where he's no longer the alpha - a world where a criminal record is the least of his disadvantages, because Bishop can't read or write.  Bishop already had the deck stacked against him, but he wasn't afraid of hard work to change his situation, and he did want to change. Especially after he encountered Edison Scala, a kind-spirited office manager who didn't hesitate to come to his defense...a man that saw past Bishop's grass-stained coveralls. A man who wasn't intimidated by his stern features and his silence.  Bishop knew Edison was off-limits. He'd made personal vows to himself when he was released from prison, ones that he never intended

With his charming smile and elegant manners, Byron truly is the perfect date...and who doesn’t love a man who appreciates opera? What’s the catch, you ask? Just this: If Byron finds you suitable, he will subject you to utterly depraved forms of torture. No, I’m not talking about S&M. Byron will mutilate, rape, and then kill you. Don’t think that you will survive the encounter, because you won’t. He has a perfect record. Intrigued? Would you like me to arrange a rendezvous? It has to be in the next few days because he’s leaving on a trip south to much warmer climes, and his calendar will be completely full. Yes? Very good. I will make a reservation for two und

BLURB  With middle-age looming, Greg offsets his boring day job with what truly feeds his soul: photography. The camera is an extension of himself where he exposes his passion for the intersect of pleasure and pain. However, the lens also acts as a barrier, protecting his subjects from the shameful mistakes of his past, and Greg is left isolated and lonely. Emyr stands on the cusp of fame, but adulation and abuse are both eroding his confidence, and one night, at the river’s edge, he seeks solace in the rain, hoping to hide his tears. The photographer and the virgin rock star share an accidental connection on that dark, drizzly night. When Greg invites Emyr back to his hotel room, no strings attached, the young man should have bolted. Instead, an odd sense of trust allows him to follow Greg’s lead. When the camera comes out, Emyr learns the stage isn’t the only place he loves to perform as Greg touches something inside him that rarely awakens. Faced with a beautiful, talented boy whose
