BOOK REVIEW : PROMISE ME BY AG MEIERS

THE WEREWOLF & HIS BOY BY WARREN ROCHELLE : BOOK REVIEW

Image
  BLURB Their leap of faith could unleash magic--or plunge them into darkness. Henry Thorn has worked at Larkin's since graduating high school.

When a new hire enters the store, Henry's other latent talent kicks in. He can smell an emotional response even before he lays eyes on the redhead.

LORE & LUST BY KARLA NIKOLE : BOOK REVIEW

Image
  BLURB The slow burn vampire romance you didn't know you needed... Haruka Hirano is alive, but not quite living. Surviving but not thriving. As an elite purebred vampire in the twenty-first century, he is broken. Content in his subpar existence. He is done with life. But life is not finished with him. When he receives a formal request to oversee an antiquated vampire ritual at Hertsmonceux Castle, Haruka grudgingly leaves his home to meet another purebred. The vampire is not what he expects. Truly, he is unlike any vampire Haruka has ever encountered: cautious, innocent and with the warmth and gravitational pull of the sun. Lore and Lust is an exploration of cultures, contemporary society and romance. It puts a whimsical spin on traditional vampire lore, while also creating a vivid new world where love is love. No questions asked. REVIEW   This is book 1 in the Queer Vampire Romance series and can be read as a standalone. Haruka needs to find a new purebred source and fast. S...

  BLURB   The oldest translation of a Gospel is returned to the world by a secret society long dedicated to its preservation. In it, Jesus explicitly condemns bigotry and homophobia.

Atonement Camp is immersion therapy for Pastor Harris, and it might be working. An open bar with pedicures, a devastatingly attractive roommate and an endless supply of glitter help him manage to make new friends. Soon, Rick and his cohorts learn the camp may hold its own secrets. Amid the smiling faces and scan...
