His spot on the swim team, keeping his scholarship, was the only plan that mattered.   His world was ebony and ivory. Natural talent and ambition set Camden Morgan apart from the other music majors. His dedication scored him a full ride.   Normally, their paths would have never crossed...but when Royal meets his best friend's new roommate, his big plan and Camden's controlled environment faces a variable that could destroy it all: attraction.   The world they live in had no room for error. That undeniable pull between them was dangerous, and neither one of them could've prepared for the choice they'd have to make.   Love isn't always an easy road, and when everything they've worked for is on the line, they'll have to decide if being together is worth the risk.   REVIEW This was a sweet opposites attract, low angst, c...

SUMMARY   Daniel is driving his new sports car from Cincinnati to Nashville, he notices a hitchhiker thumbing on the side of the highway. In the blink of an eye, a simple game plan forms in the young scholar’s mind.    Pulling over, the student offers the sexy older man a ride…with conditions.   Mike accepts the conditional offer from the very handsome and arrogant rich boy. The deal was a simple one…at first. REVIEW   This was a quick steamy read, which I ended up finishing in a single sitting. I was expecting this to be a one shot, sexy erotica, but this is so much more. The characters are real, relatable and well fleshed out. Daniel wants to explore his carnal desires with another man, and Mike provides him the perfect opportunity. Mike is a family man, who didn't expect a simple deal to go that far. But Daniel is sinfully domimating and is willing to pull all the stops to make sure Mike complies. As the characters explore their themselves and their need...

SUMMARY  A planet at war. Two alphas forced into a political marriage. Attraction that defies all reason and logic.... Or does it? The Kingdom of Pelugia and the Republic of Kadar have been at war for decades. Peace isn’t popular, but the planet can’t survive without it. Forced to marry an enemy prince for the sake of peace, Senator Royce Cleghorn doesn’t like his husband, his alpha scent, or his damned pretty blue eyes. More than anything, Royce hates what Haydn makes him become: a primitive alpha cliché, who’ll do anything to mark his territory, even if that territory is his alpha husband. Royce likes omegas; he isn’t into alphas, no matter how pretty their eyes are. It’s just a weird territorial instinct. It has to be. Prince Haydn has always tried to be the perfect alpha his father wants him to be. He’s the heir to the throne. He’s a war general. He isn’t supposed to bare his throat to an enemy alpha - and it isn’t supposed to feel so good. Everyone knows a marriage between tw...

  SUMMARY   Gabe wants Alec between the sheets...too bad Alec's undercover already.... Rich kid. Party boy. Gabe is tired of the labels. He's a smart guy, but ever since he got kicked out of grad school, people are only interested in his no-limit credit card and his pierced ears...and other places. Tall, dark, and scowling Alec hates Vermont, with its artisanal-freaking-everything and its irritating people. To be fair, most people irritate Alec, including the FBI director who sent him here to investigate a smuggling scheme involving yoga mats. When one of the cutest twinks Alec's ever seen takes an interest, Alec knows there's an ulterior motive. No one with multi-colored hair, piercings, and an ass like that would want boring, serious Alec. The kid must be up to no good. Either way, Alec can't blow his cover. If only he could keep his hands off of Gabe long enough to find out what he's up to.... Can they ignore their explosive chemistry long enough to foil a sm...

  SUMMARY   My standard issued lab badge reads "Simon", but it really should say "unexciting nerd with no social life". Don't get me wrong - I love what I do with a passion, but it doesn't leave a lot of time for much else. Especially romance. While chipping away at my work, I'm suddenly the person between hired cartel muscle and the fossil that will define my career. Which isn't the most insane part of the story. My savior is a chaotic, bat-wielding punk with a bubble-gum pink mohawk and a killer smile. In a mad dash to escape the thieves, my knight in studded armor sweeps me across the country while hitting every tourist trap along the way. While smuggling a fossil, might I add. Oh, and did I mention this pink punk can shift into a dinosaur? REVIEW   This book is downright crazy and all parts hilarious! Sexy Shifter Dinosaurs? Please sign me up! I had such a fun time listening to this. The storyline was unconventional, whimsical and so very origina...

  SUMMARY   The last thing half-dragon, half-fairy private investigator Twig Starfig wants to do is retrieve a stolen enchanted horn from a treacherous fae, but there’s no denying the dazzlingly gorgeous unicorn who asks Twig to do just that. Literally, no denying, because compelling the reluctant detective is all part of a unicorn’s seductive magic. To add to his woes, Twig is saddled with the unicorn’s cheeky indentured servant, Quinn Broomsparkle. Dragons are supposed to want to eat humans, but Twig’s half-dragon side only wants to gobble up Quinn in a more . . . personal way. Making matters worse, it’s obvious the smokin’ hot but untrustworthy sidekick is hiding something. Something big. And not what’s in his trousers. In the PI business, that means trouble with a capital Q.  Throw in gads of zombies, a creepy ghost pirate ship, a malfunctioning magic carpet, and Twig’s overbearing fairy father’s demands to live up to the illustrious Starfig name. Naturally, an old bu...

Now he's one of the most sought-after black-hat hackers in the world. Jonah is a ruthless contract killer with only one weakness: the vibrant runaway he took in years ago, Caspian. But Cas bailed when he turned 18, and Jonah has maintained a steady diet of eat, kill, sleep since then. A threat to Cas' life brings him back years later - not as the boy Jonah remembers, but as a hardened computer hacker with a price on his head and a list of names everybody wants. The chemistry between them is as undeniable as it is dangerous.  In a world of secrets and murder, trust is a liability and feelings can get you killed. But Jonah let Cas go once, and he's not willing to do it again.

He can’t help feeling a tiny, fragile hope that this time, things might turn out differently. Especially when Wyatt seems set on teaching him that home isn’t the house you live in.

BLURB Fairy tales. Prince Charming fights evil, wins the princess, lives happily ever after. Three sons, three wishes, witches, dragons, a quest, and happily ever after. These stories are part of our cultural fabric. The stories change in retellings to reflect contemporary culture, such as Princess Charming, or heroes and heroines as people of color. In this collection, queer characters take center stage in stories that grew out of questions: What if the prince falls in love with Cinderella's gay stepbrother? What if Rumpelstiltskin doesn't really want the Queen's child but rather the King himself? What if Beauty and the Beast are two men? These stories explore metaphors of magic and the magical, this time, with a gay perspective. What price must be paid for happily ever after? Duty or love? Is love worth great sacrifice? Once upon a time . REVIEW  I absolutely adored this brilliant collection of diverse fairytale retellings put together. These retellings are dark, realisti...
