Mikayla DiAngelis has spent the past two years traveling the world and avoiding the demands of her overbearing warlock father. A confusing kiss from her former bodyguard is yet another reason for her to stay two steps ahead on the run.

Warlock bodyguard Austin Luca will stop at nothing to bring Mikayla home. His loyalty belongs to her family, but his heart belongs to her, even though he has ties that bind him to his own family responsibilities.

Their encounter was inevitable, and Mikayla is soon caught up in Austin’s passion and the world she vowed to leave behind. Will surrendering to her former protector cost her the freedom she needs?

Mikayla had come to Pelican Point to enjoy the summer, but also to try and sort out her life. When her old bodyguard shows up she’s surprised, but Austin has news that will rock – and forever change – Mikayla’s world.

This is a short and fast-paced erotic romance story. I enjoyed Austin and Mikayla’s characters and it was clear their long and deep history together had been leading to this exact point where Mikayla was all grown up and Austin was ready to claim her as his own. Readers looking for a deeply paranormal story with intense world-building won’t find that here. While there are magical elements to the story I wish there had been a bit more depth to the world-building. The author handed out some excellent snippets – the looming “Council” position that Mikayla was destined to take up, a potion and a few short bits of performing magic – but overall it felt like the world was just like ours with a few paranormal elements thrown in. I would have enjoyed some more depth to history or explanations about the Council and how/why some people had magical abilities and how they worked.

I enjoyed the romance and steam between Austin and Mikayla and it was deliciously clear they were destined to be together. I couldn’t help that feel both Austin and Mikayla made enormous, life-changing decisions with serious implications rather suddenly and found the situation jarring. Each of them made a complete about-face (Austin about his betrothal and Mikayla about the Council seat) with very little build-up and while I can appreciate there wasn’t a lot of room in such a short story it really felt to me like they were bolts out of nowhere. I would have felt a lot more confidant in their decisions had there been a little more build up, or explanation as to why or how they came to make these important choices, particularly since mere pages before the decisions were made they were expressing polar-opposite opinions. As the reader I wanted to see the lead up both from Austin and Mikayla as to how their opinions changed so drastically and be led with them on this choice – rather than just be told “bang” they had completely changed their mind and were making this life-altering decision.

The last third of the book was absolutely the high point for me – with both a strong magical thread running through the plot and Mikayla and Austin both embracing their love and future I thoroughly enjoyed the way in which the author wrapped up this short story.

With plenty of plot and two interesting characters this overall was a good read.

Can lifelong best friends find their happily ever after in each other?

Ardie and West have been friends since the second grade. They’ve been through a lot together: homework, broken bones, the death of a parent, and dreading high school dances. Through Ardie working the family farm and taking care of his siblings, and West chasing his college boy dreams, their friendship never falters, even with the gap of years and lifestyles.

West goes through a series of boyfriends, making Ardie wish his friend could find someone who loves him as much as Ardie does himself. Waiting for the right time to tell West he’s gay, Ardie figures he’s lost his chance when West finally meets someone who seems just right for him.

When the bottom falls out for West, there’s only one person he thinks to call. Ardie is there for him when he does. A little vacation seems to be the right thing, not just to ease West’s mind, but for Ardie to slide into West’s life again, finally letting his friend know how deeply he cares.
Many males these days have levitra generic usa appalachianmagazine.com problem getting hard in bed and satisfy her in bed with mesmerizing sexual pleasure. Keeping it near to children or pets could prove to purchase of levitra be very risky.

Several retail outlets and online drug stores sell ED cialis sildenafil medications in UK.
Will these two bet friends realize there might be more between them than just friendship? Find out if their Broken Road lead to happiness in this heartwarming read.

Ardie and West have been best friends since the first day of grade two. Through all the highs and lows, the laughter and tears that life brings the men remain friends – the bond formed on that first day never wavering. And when West eventually calls as his life shatters, Ardie doesn’t hesitate, leaving behind his farm and siblings to be there to help pick up the pieces, to remind West of the simple family love that’s been constant throughout each of their lives.

This is an absolutely amazing story. Readers who love a long, slow drop into love, particularly those “friends to lovers” style of story should find – as I did – that this one is just perfect. A little over the first half of this book shows Ardie and West’s friendship, life and love from the beginning. At first I was a bit nervous, worried the background would bog down the story – but I feel the author did a really amazing job managing to balance this side to the story.

The pace moved fast enough that I didn’t feel in a hurry to get to the present day – where West calls Ardie for help – but instead this helped show the rock-solid foundation of friendship and life that the two men had together. It showed them growing up from boys into men and led us on the paths their lives each took. Woven throughout all this was the friendship – and love – that carried the men through the usual highs and lows of a lifetime. I particularly loved how there wasn’t drama merely for the sake of it – Ardie and West’s lives each held plenty of peaks and troughs and this was ample conflict, plot and tension, the solidness of their friendship, the unwavering love and support didn’t need mis-communications or drama or angst to make it interesting and vibrant and I am so very glad the author kept away from those kinds of tropes.

While the first half of the book focused on how the boys became men and reached their early thirties in life, this slow romantic pace felt just right for such a lovely full length novel. It gave me as the reader time to really relax and enjoy and get hooked on each man. This is the first book in a very long time – months for sure, if not the whole year – that had me reading long into the night and finishing it in one sitting. It was addictive in the most wonderful sense and I simply couldn’t stop and put it down to go to sleep. When West finally reaches rock bottom and calls Ardie, the second half of the story shines even brighter than the first. I was particularly pleased the two men – after a lifetime of being there for each other, supporting and helping one another and loving each other – didn’t simply fall into bed. Their pace increased, sure, but it was still natural, logical and so realistic I wish I knew them for real because it was just a beautiful, wonderful story.

Readers looking for something kinky or crammed full of sex won’t find that here. This book is one of those rare gems that, sure has some smoking hot M/M sex, but is full of all the other wonderful aspects of a solid romance. There’s a large and strong cast of secondary characters, primarily Ardie’s family and a few important people coming and going in West’s life. There is the wonderful road of two lives – similar but different and inextricably woven together forever. There is laughter and tears and so much joy and love it makes me want to burst and go right back to the start immediately and re-experience it all over again.

This is a wonderful, heartfelt and amazing story, one that is absolutely going onto my keeper shelf and one I can most strongly recommend.

As an ex-military man, Mason appears to be the perfect PA, and even though Stone is blind, he knows when he’s attracted to a man and Mason is just what Stone wants.

I enjoyed this lovely short story. While I didn’t find the speed with which Stone began to trust Mason to be very realistic I was pleased with the chemistry the two men had from the start. Keeping in mind both that this is an erotic romance and a short story, I couldn’t really fault the author for the overall pace of the relationship.

Where I found this story really excelled was in the day-to-day aspect of Stone and Mason growing together and learning the differences between their lives and seeing how they meshed together. Things like Stone focused a lot more on sounds and scents – giving Mason a different perspective on “seeing” the world. It was also lovely, of course, to see Stone trust Mason and get to “see” the world through his descriptions and comments.

I have to admit, at points the similarities between the two men’s name (Stone and Mason are so similar at least in my mind, both referencing a rock/brick/concrete/hard surface etc) that while they were two very distinct and different characters, the similar reference at least in my mind meant I mixed them up a number of times – which truthfully surprised me a little as that almost never happens to me. It’s a tiny niggle – and one that might just be me and my brain being odd – but it happened a number of times throughout the story so I presume at least some other readers may experience a similar thing.

The sex between the men was also smoking hot and deliciously explicit which helped the story speed along at a super fast pace. There is a lot of sex – perhaps as much as half of the story – which I feel readers should expect in an explicit romance story like this. Personally, I felt this was balanced with the growing relationship between the two men, but there wasn’t a lot of plot outside of this so readers looking for a convoluted or layered and deep story might want to consider this.

Romantic and emotional I found this to be a lovely story and despite a few quibbles about how fast it all happened and how very well the two men connected, this was a strongly written and really lovely story. Readers who like heroes that aren’t the cookie-cutter standard mould and relationships that are emotional and heart-felt should adore this story as much as I did.

Years ago, Wes Corbett vowed not to get romantically involved again, fearing anyone close to him might be harmed by his brother William, a born criminal. Now, as he weathers the storm with Janet, their mutual attraction becomes clear. Can he keep that vow—even though he knows William is on the loose and may be headed directly for them?

When Janet and Jack’s relationship soured and he became abusive, Janet knows she has to leave before it’s too late. Leaving Jack, packing her car and going to her parents small cottage while they were on holiday Janet hopes the next month will give her some peace and time both to finish her next book and get the rest of her life sorted out. With a hurricane bearing down and two convicts escaped and on the loose, Janet has no idea just how crazy her life is about to come when she meets Wes, a stranger in the storm.

I really enjoyed this mystery story. I found Janet to be modern and relatable as a character. The double-whammy of both a hurricane and the escaped convicts felt a little over the top as a plot device, but adding in a twin-mix up with Wes and his convict twin, William, had me just disconnecting my brain and enjoying the story. I really liked the style and tone of the author’s voice and I was attached to Janet and curious as to how everything would sort itself out to her. Wes is a strong and honest hero who has found himself – due to his nefarious twin brother – embroiled in an ever-growing series of crazy events. While exciting and a little outrageous, I felt that ignoring the unreality of the situation was a small price to pay to see where it all led, and I’m very glad I stuck with it. This story has plenty of action and as the book progresses the pace gets faster and grows at a good clip, keeping the reader turning the pages to see what happens next.

While the romance between Janet and Wes simmers I was really pleased that the author allowed them both the time and space for their feelings and attraction to grow naturally. Readers who like a slow pace with their romance should find this is suitable. A number of complications arise that Janet and Wes have to overcome – Janet’s abusive ex, Wes’ convicted felon brother, not to mention a hurricane from Mother nature and all sorts of other issues – but watching Janet and Wes truly begin to care and feel connected to each other is a lovely aspect of the story and I was pleased the romance was present and this wasn’t purely a mystery/suspense novel.

With plenty of action and a fast pace once the plot really gets moving, this is an excellent mystery/suspense story with a strong plot and a bunch of interesting characters.

New to town, werewolf Dark can’t believe there’s a restaurant called The Vegan Werewolf. Even harder to swallow is the fact that the place smells amazing. The food, however, is easy to get down – it’s some of the best he’s ever had and that’s saying a lot as it’s, unbelievably, vegan. What’s also not hard to swallow is Erik, the sweet Chef of the restaurant, and Dark picks him up after the place closes.

Erik’s got a secret, though, one he keeps hidden deep down inside and Dark threatens to bring all the things Erik has buried to the surface.

Dark will soon find it’s more than the food here that his mouth waters for.

I absolutely, positively adored this super short story. I was quite skeptical myself – such a short story (not even 50 pages) and one with a werewolf and a chef didn’t sound like one of the best stories I’d read in months. I was utterly wrong – this story is likely one of my top 5 reads so far this year, and I’ve never been happier to be so delightfully surprised. I adored Dark’s character – he’s a werewolf and knows himself, warts and all. This doesn’t, however, stop him from trying something new or being open to possibilities. Despite the fact he knows he hates Vegan food, the smells he encounters – and his hungry stomach – press his hand to trying something completely outside his comfort food. And I loved how he could poke fun at himself as much as everything else – “What’s navarattan when it’s at home?”. I laughed like a loon at half the witty banter and adored the fact that Dark – and the author – clearly enjoyed this little story as a lighter piece and just rolled with it all.

Erik was a lovely contrast to this, slender, Vegan and denying his wolfish side. My only regret (and the reason I needed to deduct that half star) was because I really, really wish the author had been given enough space/word count to delve at least a little into why Erik felt the need to control his own restaurant and deny himself his wolf-half and go Vegan. Erik explains to Dark that he couldn’t handle killing other animals and eating meat despite his wolf, but Dark seemed to think there was something deeper in Erik’s past pressing this and that tiny plot point was left dangling and I don’t feel it was resolved fully. Everything else about this story was amazing – the sex glorious and passionate and instinctive, Erik and Dark both enjoying each other and unable to resist even before they came to know each other fully.

Readers looking for a blisteringly hot, super short and fun read with werewolves, delicious food, amazing scents and some laugh-out-loud funny moments should find this story and wonderful as I did. Highly Recommended.

Luke had helped his elderly neighbor in a number of her matchmaking schemes but he had no interest in being set up himself. As long as he was comfortable and working well he was satisfied with his life. Dolly had come to town to spend some time with her elderly aunt and start up her own business – needing to get a handle on her life. Neither Dolly nor Luke were looking for romance, but the two elderly matchmakers in their lives are determined to see them together and happily settled.

With loads of old-school charm, I found this to be a really sweet and lovely romance story. Both Dolly and Luke have histories and hurts, their own private reasons for not wanting to jump into a romance with both feet. Yet the persistent and gentle prodding of Dolly’s Aunt and Luke’s neighbor has them each slowly edging towards a delicate trust and slow blossoming of a sweet and delightful romance. Readers who enjoy a small-town style of story and a slower pace should find this an exceptional story.

I loved how the author really delved into both Dolly and Luke’s characters. They are both multi-layered, realistic and interesting people and I loved having the time and space in the story to get to know them both. There are the usual problems with small towns (small minded people, gossip and the general nastiness inherent in humans) but I was pleased the author made this realistic and not too over the top, and also it was clearly a device used to show Luke and Dolly how they could find solidarity together and overcome these regular, ordinary problems together. The plot was mostly character-centric – Luke resolving some of his past issues, Dolly trying to forge her own future and the both of them trying to work out how they fit together and how they could both better themselves individually and as a couple, together.

Sweet but romantic with plenty of character-based plot and twists I found this a wonderful full length story and a great read. With loads of plot, a strong cast of secondary characters and a delightful small town feel this is an excellent story and one I really enjoyed.

But Stephen has a rocky past and isn’t in the lifestyle anymore, but Champ simply isn’t willing to take no for an answer and possibly lose the only man who can complete him.

This is a lovely, sexy and smoking hot full length story. I really enjoyed Stephen’s character in particular, the brief hints have from his past experience really helped me feel connected to him and a strong empathy for him being reluctant and burned. While Champ gets under Stephen’s skin (and into his pants!) fairly quickly I did like how they didn’t just jump immediately into the sack – as that wouldn’t have felt very realistic with Stephen’s reluctance and history.

I have to admit I haven’t read any of this author’s dragon books before this one (I’m not a massive paranormal fan and dragon’s don’t do a lot for me usually), but I actually enjoyed the slightly different aspect to the paranormal that this author gave the story. Things like Champ could hear the “singing” in Stephen’s head once they started connecting and bonding, or like how Champ could see the dreams Stephen had while sleeping – slightly unusual (for me, at least) but definitely paranormal elements to the story that I found interesting and kinda cool. There were also further hints throughout the story of Champ and his two best friends’ dragon “hoarde” and various magical elements that I felt added an interesting depth to the story.

Stephen’s flatmate, Marcus, and Champ’s two best friends also make a threesome in a sort of sub-plot that I felt helped round out the story well and made the book more than just about Stephen and Champ and their relationship and sexy escapades. I particularly liked how at a few points Champ felt the need to touch base with his two bff’s and just check that he was on the right path. This made him feel more human and relatable to me and I thought it was lovely to see this very slightly vulnerable side to him.

With plenty of hot sex, a few hints of BDSM elements and some complicated and excellent secondary characters this was a lovely long read and a multi-faceted story that I really enjoyed.

Despite being together for years and getting married shortly before Steven went on tour, the two years they’ve been apart feels like an age. When Steven comes home for good, can they rediscover each other and begin their “new” marriage together again?

Mildly kinky and full of loving and explicit sex, this is one heck of a steamy romance story to keep you turning the pages and thinking of decadent, cold Christmas evenings. With some spanking and mild BDSM (body piercings, toys and restraints) this is hot enough that I feel most erotica readers should find the bedroom antics satisfying – but not kinky enough to push the envelope or make many readers uncomfortable. Best of all, Steven and Lawson are both clearly and deeply in love with each other – the two year enforced separation making them burn for each other and making their reunion all the more sweet from their time apart.

While most of the first half of the story is the two men becoming *cough* acquainted *cough* with each other again, I was really pleased the second half of the book showed us a bit more of each man’s personality and let us see some of the intricacies of their relationship. I enjoyed that the author let us see more than just the sex to their personalities – things like them volunteering at the local community centre, shopping for groceries together and reconnecting through all the mundane, every-day aspects of living together that neither of them had needed to do for so long. It kept the story feeling real, grounded and believable to me. It helped me feel more connected to both Steven and Lawson and helped me see just how they could fit and work and love together in the “real world” and that made this story far more romantic, emotional and relatable to me.

With loads of steamy sex, a lovely and enjoyable romantic relationship and the joy of two people who adore each other finally being able to live happily and a normal life together this was a pleasure to read.

Already unsure of his welcome home, Alex feels even more distanced from Bruce and flees the club before Bruce even knows he’s there, retreating to a bad motel and the bottle, just like his undercover identity would.

When the two men finally come face to face, will Bruce be able to find Alex beneath his Nicky Kimoto skin or has this job sucked Alex into the underworld for good?

Alex and Bruce had been married for a number of years although each time Alex needed to go undercover for his job as a policeman they managed to hold everything together. This time though Alex has been gone longer than ever before, and when he finally is able to return home he’s shocked to find Bruce all geared up and heading to work as a bartender in a local leather club. Confused and unsure, can Alex and Bruce reconnect and find their way back together?

I enjoyed this sexy short story. I immediately felt a lot of empathy for Alex, who seemed more than a little burned out by his undercover work. I was pleased he’d taken retirement and was considering his options and willing to keep an open mind and try different things to return properly home – body and mind. I was also glad that after the first phone call between Alex and Bruce it was pretty clear Bruce still dearly loved Alex, but that the strain of Alex’s job and the enforced separations and stress weighed heavily on their relationship. I loved how realistic and relatable this whole relationship and scenario was and was hooked from the first chapter.

The BDSM in this story is exceptionally mild – just a bit of rimming and light spanking – readers looking for something heavier on the kink side of things sexually should look at other stories by Sean Michael. There’s a strong undertone of the BDSM lifestyle but Alex and Bruce really are only just dipping their toe in, to see if certain parts of the lifestyle would help them let Alex shed his previous personas and fully come home. I enjoyed that most of the plot revolved around Bruce and Alex re-learning how they fit together as a couple and in their home life.

This struggle for Alex of not just physically coming home – but mentally, emotionally and spiritually as well – was something that really resonated with me and grabbed at my heart. It isn’t a traditional storyline that I truly feel like the author did an amazing job with this. I really felt for Alex and adored how patient but still strong Bruce was fielding all the various tics and pitfalls. I would have really enjoyed it had this story been longer – which is one of the deepest compliments you can give a book sometimes. I didn’t want to leave Bruce and Alex and was sad when the story wrapped up. I was certainly relieved that the men reconnected well together and clearly were fully committed both to each other and their marriage – so it was absolutely a happy ending, but I really enjoyed this story and was sad for it to draw to a close.

Steamy and sexy this is a lovely, emotional and well written short story that I greatly enjoyed.

Spirits (Duet) by Julia Talbot and BA Tortuga
Publisher: Changeling Press
Genre: Contemporary, Erotic Romance, Paranormal, LGBTQ
Rating: 3.5 stars
Review by: Fern

Moonshine: No one expects a werewolf to be running a moonshine still. Hell, a ridgerunner? Sure. He’s seen that coming from birth. What he didn’t inherit was lycanthropy. But life’s full of the unexpected. And now there’s David, self proclaimed expert tracker, and hunter of the bastard who turned them both. David is just the kind of trouble Jenson doesn’t need, and everything he wants.

Good websites also suggest you to seek a physical therapist to ask for help. cheap viagra You can buy Mast Mood oil, NF Cure capsule and Shilajit capsule cialis sales provide better effect regarding this issue. On the other hand, it is important that your doctor would be the levitra on line person that can help you in reviving the libido problem. The first Indian company, Ajanta Pharma produces Kamagra, the raindogscine.com discount viagra and levitra have same effect on men’s impotence. buy levitra online is significantly very important for male community, as it works not on the body but on mind. raindogscine.com successfully protected many relations by treating man’s impotence. Absinthe: Barthe and Rene have a real mess on their hands. Years ago, Barthe made a stupid mistake. Now Rene’s not sure he can believe Barthe will ever really want him. Add to their dilemma Barthe’s brother Bastien, and a werewolf caught half shifted… Can they come back together before they lose their love forever?

In “Moonshine” David and Jenson are tracking the bastard who turned them both and gave them lycanthropy, but Jenson splits his focus with his moonshine still and going about his normal business. But David is determined to hunt their attacker down and Jenson quickly realizes he wants to give David everything he can. In “Absinthe” Barthe and Rene have a complicated history together, but can circumstances finally sway in their favor before it’s too late?

I really enjoyed these two short stories. Sexy and fun they’re a lovely quick read with plenty of heat and just a dollop of humour to them. I really enjoyed the energy of Moonshine. I loved Jenson and his still – and adored how Jenson stuck to his roots and was proud of his heritage but wasn’t a hick or hillbilly. I enjoyed the sense of dichomy the story gave with Jenson knowing a lot about his lycanthropy and being a wolf and David being very new to it all. Even though David was a total rookie and Jenson helped him ease over those first few hurdles the two men felt very evenly matched. This was a “student and teacher” sort of thing but it was clear that they were equals and both had plenty to bring to their fledgling relationship. This was a great short story.

Absinthe is absolutely a stand-alone story but I enjoyed it a lot more since there are a few links between Moonshine and Absinthe so I definitely enjoyed it more reading the two together. Rene and Barthe have had a rocky time of things. When Barthe had told the much younger Rene to go out into the world, explore and live a little it had cost him a lot to offer his mate the freedom to grow up. When Rene had taken Barthe at his word and left – for years – Barthe had spent every moment regretting his actions. Even though I found this history between the two wolves to be difficult I was pleased this was all explained in a few pages right at the start of the story. The short length of the story meant we could see the ending.

Rene and Barthe have both certainly learned important lessons and the sex between them is smoking hot and slightly kinky (spankings and being bound – light BDSM mostly). Readers looking for a hot paranormal short story should find both these stories sexy and fun and enjoyable quick reads.
