She could be the one to save him… if she doesn’t burn him alive first.
Ex-SEAL Walker Roman can never forget the carnage he witnessed during wartime. It haunts his dreams and lurks in the darkness of his every waking moment, ceaseless and unstoppable, no matter what he does to quiet his demons.
Until the first time he sees the beautiful Ashleigh. For a moment, the demons scatter.
One look at her sparkling blue eyes, and he’ll do anything to take her home. It doesn’t matter what secrets the strip club waitress has hiding in those depths… He needs her, naked and moaning his name, now.
But those secrets are dangerous, and Walker doesn’t know he’s stepped into a minefield. Before he can so much as steal a kiss, they’re on the run from the Russian mob, hiding out in his hometown.
Walker knows the smart choice is to turn the girl over and save himself – but with every glance, every touch, and every kiss, he falls harder for his Doll.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, will Walker and Ashleigh let go?
Or will Ashleigh learn that a ring from a SEAL really means forever?

BLURB:
The new gay urban fantasy romance from Shelley Grayson.
Someone’s killing werewolves.
Lukas Vance finds a list of towns, and in each one he discovers a murdered 19-year-old who smells almost like pack even though he knows they can’t be related to him. He reaches the next town on the list before the killer, determined to get the intended victim out of this situation alive. When he catches the familiar pack scent and sees the guy it belongs to, Lukas wants to do so much more than protect him.
Chris Keenan doesn’t know why gorgeous, broody Lukas thinks he’s in danger. Lukas says he wants to keep him safe, and when Chris freaks out Lukas is the only one able to calm him down. Chris has been feeling off for a while, and whatever’s causing that seems to be related to the list of towns and the murderer who’s made him a target. Instead of going to the police, Chris puts his trust in Lukas. But even with Lukas protecting him, figuring out what’s wrong with him may be the last thing Chris ever does.
Shift is a 98,000-word novel (518 print pages) for people who want some gay shifter romance inside their urban fantasy, ensemble cast adventure.

My Review:
This is my first read by this author and I must say just WOW. This story suck you in and I was having tough time putting down until finish. The characters all have unique things about them but when you bring them all together they fit perfect like pack. The story is about Lyxr and the consequences of something that happen over 21 years ago. When Lukas receive a note on his car with 4 location and the journey begins with why the ones he keeps finding smell like pack. We meet Chris and his best friend Albert who can make any situation become better with his positive attitude. Lukas and Griffin brothers that meet again to face this new enemy or maybe not so new to them. Can they find out what is killing the teenager and what is the connection to Hunter Rock? Love the twist and turns in this story, when you think going to go one way then it changes course. Of course, the way that Albert and Griffin spar with each other is hilarious. I do hope we see more for Hunter Rock Series. Did leave with some question at the end of what will happen now. Hopefully something with Albert and Griffin. Can’t wait to hear more from the gang Lukas, Chris, Albert, Griffin, Jules, Tad and Roger. If you happen to love MM paranormal with some twist involve then you will love this book. Highly Recommend

BLURB:
What’s the protocol for falling in love with your best friend?”
Max Hartmann only cares about two things: his university rowing team and his best friend Finn—the one person Max can always count on, the one person who believes in him the most. But now it’s senior year and something about Finn is different. Max can’t figure out why Finn is pulling away, leaving Max adrift without him. But when a drunken hookup takes them both by surprise, everything changes. Max is straight, right? So why can’t he stop thinking about Finn’s lips on him?
“I fell for my straight best friend. What a cliché.”
Finn Stevenson feels like a failure. It took him 22 years to figure out that he was gay, and he returns to campus dead-set on ignoring his true feelings for Max. But it’s impossible to deny he’s fallen in love with his best friend. How could he not? Max lights up every room and makes Finn feel like the most special person in the world. But after throwing himself at Max one night at a party, Finn knows he might have just jeopardized the most important friendship in his life.
“You think I’m gonna change my mind, don’t you?”
How can Finn trust that Max’s feelings for him are real if Max won’t even come out? And as Finn struggles with the pressures of competitive rowing, Max fears losing the person who means the most to him. As the rowing season heats up and graduation looms, the future has never been so uncertain. Will their relationship drown under the pressure or can they find a way to stay afloat?
Still Water is a friends-to-lovers m/m contemporary romance with out-for-you and hurt/comfort themes, plenty of heat, and a happy ending.
*************************************************************************************
My Review:
This book keep me hook from the beginning with the twist and turn of the feelings that they feel for each other. We meet Max and Finn who are best friends and roommate at college. You would think they would know everything there is to know about each other. Slowly we get to see Finn starting to have feeling for his best friend Max. Finn not sure what to do with these feelings and has many struggles to go through with this. When Max learns of these feeling from Finn. He has eye opener and will do whatever he must to get Finn to see they can be good together. The boys both have many issue with family and insecurity that is affecting their relationship. The journey they go through will make them stronger and see the love for each other. With their support of their friends. I hope to see more from the Bellamy boys. Highly recommend this book

BLURB:
Life makes no promises, and sometimes, you draw the short straw.
Landon Johnston’s life came to a grinding halt seven months ago, when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
With the encouragement of his grandmother, Landon worked his way out of his slump and tried to live life while he still could.
Deciding he didn’t want to drag anyone else down his morbid path, Landon gave up all friendships and denied himself love. It was better that way, because all he had to offer was eventual heartache and sadness.
While traveling the world, Landon meets Abel Matheson, a free-spirited, unedited, and nerve-grating man who was supposed to only be a one-night-stand.
Despite Landon’s insistence that he can’t form a relationship with his current diagnoses, Abel is persistent and will not be ignored.
Fighting against all his ingrained urges to run, Landon finds himself drawn down the road he swore he’d never take.
Intimacy grows and bonds form…
Only… Abel doesn’t know Landon is sick.
How can anyone love a man with no future?
Telling him might cause him to run, but staying silent means living a lie. A lie which will only reveal itself in time.
*************************************************************************************
My Review:
This was a very emotional read that I went through a box of tissue. We get to go on a painful but loving journey that Landon is going on. Landon has a bucket list that he wants to get through before his terminal illness gets the best of him. You see that when you have little time left some mystery can happen that will surprise you. When he meets Abel, he tries to keep his emotion out of it but he is slowing being worn down by Abel determination. These two were made for each other with Abel being strong and fountain for Landon. This was a very wonderful written story of what two lovers will do with all the time that must make the most of it. Highly recommend this book you will not be disappointed at all.

BLURB:
A sexy and spicy sequel to our sizzling saga of Noah and Ethan’s story.
Someone has been suspiciously sinful, but who can blame him? Our lusty lads, Noah and Ethan, are led into licentiousness, by a libertine of a spooky spirit.
Driven by Noah’s desire to protect his partner, Ethan, from this depraved demon, Noah enlists the talents of a Paranormal professional to solve his elemental problems and we meet the mysterious Marvel but is he a Master or Masquerade? Friend or Foe? Specialist or Spurious?
As they deal with despondency and despair, testosterone and tears, in determining their destinies to be loyally loving and tenderly together. Resentment runs rampant and as the intensity increases, it adds fuel to the fire. Will the deceit be discovered before it destroys? Will they be rewarded with retribution or repercussions? Will the truth be triumphant and the visitor vanquished?
*************************************************************************************
My Review:
To have a full understanding of what is going on and the characters you should read book one Enrapture. The characters have a visitor that is haunting them and using them to destroy each other. Noah does not know what to do until he talks with Dan and maybe he can get some help from Marvel. What do you do when you learn that there is more out there in the world that can cause problems. There are some big twist and turn in this story will keep you on the edge and what is going to happen next. I can’t wait to see what happens next with Noah and Ethan. Will they be able to get rid of the negative ghost haunting them? Highly recommend this book and series if you love a twist of some dark fantasy in your stories

BLURB:
Tannerian Wulfric is a leader—a strong alpha who bows to no-one, especially those who try to undermine his authority.
When an opportunity arises, he grabs it with both hands and lets nothing get in his way. Trouble is, his brother has been caught in the crossfire of glorious retribution, and Tanner is in need of assistance.
For many years, Alex Jonas has lived his life in peace. But when fate lands him in the hands of his ex-lover and alpha, he finds himself in the centre of a feud he never knew existed, and must immerse himself in ways he had never imagined. One chance encounter, one night, and everything comes crashing down around him. Alex must fight for his life while Tanner fights for one thing and one thing only—vengeance, which has never tasted sweeter.
Can Tanner avenge his family’s death without spilling more blood? Or will his inner demon tear apart everything he has worked for, and lose the man who owns his heart?
Warning: Contains strong language, violence, and graphic, erotic scenes which require a shower to cool yourself down. This is NOT a romance. It’s hot, it’s sticky, and all kinds of messed up. Proceed with caution!
*************************************************************************************
My Review:
This is my first book by this author. I really love how this book was written and display. You have different twist with wolves, demons and some vampire mix in. This is a dark read and if you enjoy with a paranormal twist you will love this book. Tanner has been trying for centuries to stop the monster inside of him and avenge the loss of his parents and sister. Tanner is all alpha and will not take no for an answer from any one. There is always that one that gets away and get together under your skin. Will Tanner finally realize that his mate was right under his nose and going to lose him? There where was twist and turn in this story that will keep you on the edges. The ending is keep me in suspense about what happens next with Tanner and Ravenhill. Highly recommend this book

BLURB:
1 wedding, 2 best men, one hell of a love story!
Declan Ramsay’s brother Oliver was marrying Annabelle Aiken at a fairytale castle on the banks of Loch Ness in Scotland. The bride and groom decided, so that he didn’t feel left out, that Annabelle’s gay younger brother could share the best man duties with Declan.
Declan had never met the kid who was to be his joint best man. Sam Aiken was abroad, working as an interpreter and finishing his studies. He wouldn’t meet Declan until a few days before the wedding, so the best men communicated and planned their speech by email for more than a year. But on meeting Sam Aiken, Declan is surprised to realise the kid isn’t a kid at all, but a tall, blond and athletic young man. Declan is sure he’s straight, so he’s alarmed by the ferocious attraction he feels for Sam. And as the attraction is reciprocated, the events at Dunloch Castle change everything Declan has ever believed about himself. But, is Samuel Aiken all that he appears to be?
*************************************************************************************
My Review:
This was a well written story of 2 men that are best men at their siblings wedding. We get to see their journey from talking on line until they meet. You get to see some of the crazy things that these two will do so that they can be alone for a few. Love the little quirks that they refer to about the movie princess bride. Recommend this this book

BLURB:
When Lara dies at the hands of a Manhattan lawyer during a sex game, his defense attorney, Carl, hires Simone, a psychiatrist, professor and author of books on sexual behavior to help him buttress his argument that Lara’s death was accidental. To help his defense, Carl’s client has written a detailed account of his steamy, year-long relationship with Lara. Carl gives the text to Simone for analysis. While evaluating the presumed killer’s writing, Simone continues to receive psychiatric patients with sexual disorders and unusual fantasies, and to research strange sexual behavior for her next book. Meanwhile, Simone’s clinical partner, friend and research colleague, Edward, is working with the police to capture a serial killer who is torturing and killing women. From hot and unusual sex and interesting psychiatric patients, to the swing houses of New York and Paris, this fast-paced page-turner is a blend of mystery, suspense, humor, romance and erotica.
*************************************************************************************
My Review:
This is my first book reading by this author. Was not sure what I was getting in to. I must say the writing was excellent that you were drawn into the story. The erotic of the story was written in a way that you could not believe what happen next. You will be taken on a roller coaster of emotions through the story. If you looking for a good suspenseful erotica book, then this is the one. Highly recommend this book today
