Review Tour ~ I’m Your Guy by Sarina Bowen

10/12/2023

RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 10, 2023

TOMMASO

The furniture district is my personal hell. I don’t know my ass from an ottoman. But when a hot designer comes to my rescue, I realize my problems are bigger than the house I’m trying to furnish.

A scorching kiss over fabric samples makes me question all my choices. But is it too late to change my entire life to get more of them?

CARTER

I need this gig, but my cocky new client leaves out a couple crucial details:
He doesn’t mention that he’s a famous hockey player. And he doesn’t own up to the way he’s always trying to undress me with his dark, broody eyes.

The man throws out more mixed signals than a broken traffic light. I’ve never been more sexually frustrated in my entire life. I need to back away before I do something stupid, like lose my heart.

Oops. Too late.

Release Blitz ~ The Boys of Summer by Hope Irving (Teasers + Book Playlist)

08/11/2023
Title: The Boys of Summer
Author: Hope Irving
Genre: M/M Romance. Bi-Awakening / Bisexual. New Adult. Contemporary. Multicultural / Interracial. Small Town. Second chance
Release Date: August 11, 2023
Meeting him during a student exchange program changed our lives then, but can we finally make things right years later?
ZAYN
All my geeky teenage self cared about was video games. My social butterfly twin sister convinced me to participate in a summer exchange program between France and Oregon. That’s where I unexpectedly met Dante Reyes, the cool Dominican guitar hero wannabe who surprisingly welcomed me into his world. An instant friendship developed… until I ruined everything.
My sister’s dragging me back to Oregon six years later. I’m not the quirky kid anymore. I’ve worked hard for the opportunity to interview for my dream job in California. Now that I’m facing Dante again, I’m torn between anger and desire for the man who ghosted me. As if the proximity makes a difference. As if we could repair our broken friendship. As if the manwhore could ever be interested in more…
DANTE
My instant connection with nerdy Zayn Mansouri didn’t make any sense. Neither did how I abruptly ended it without a second glance. The French-Moroccan went back home, and I moved on… or so I thought.
Facing him again overrides everything. And just like that, our connection is cemented and our long-lost friendship ventures where I never would have fathomed. As if it were an eventuality. As if I weren’t straight. As if our unlikely summer fling could lead to more.
Is this a second chance or another opportunity for heartache? Only time will tell.
The Boys of Summer is part of the Summers in Seaside series. It’s a contemporary small-town, bi-awakening, second-chance, opposites attract, multiracial/interracial MM romance.

Book Review ~ No Man’s Land by Courtney W. Dixon

06/30/2023
Title: No Man’s Land
Series: Ohana Surfing Series
Author: Courtney W. Dixon
Release: May 31, 2023
Genre: M/M Romance
Tropes: student/advisor, college romance, daddy/boy, big age gap
 
★★★★★ Amazon Review – “Beautiful story of life after trauma”
 
★★★★★ Amazon Review – “Worth Every Last Day I Waited!”
There’s only one man I will allow to know me. My mind, heart, and soul are my gifts to Mr. Carter.
Levi
I used to joke with my found family that I had daddy issues as a deflection from my problems. I didn’t want anyone to know that side of me. I had a classic case of it, keeping me from relating to young men my age. All because of my abusive father. At seventeen, I started college and developed an obsession with my advisor, Mr. Ashton Carter. He was everything I could ever want, and I knew deep down he could fulfill my needs that I couldn’t find with anyone else. But I was too young and had to wait until I turned eighteen and play my cards right. Would he want someone with my issues that no one else knew about other than my therapist? And I thought I left my past behind, only to discover that it’s trying to claim me once more.
Ash
Levi Dawson was barely seventeen when he first came to me. His brilliant mind struggled to find direction, and I did my best to guide him. The more time we spent together the more he flirted. I knew he had developed feelings for me, but he was too young, and I could lose my job at the university if we acted on them. When I stumbled upon Levi as the victim of a brutal attack, I saved him. Since then, he has desperately clung to me. Could I hold back my growing feelings for the young man? He was too hard to resist.
There are a lot of triggers in this book. CW: Abuse of a child, mentions of molestation/rape, child prostitution, homophobia, bullying, big age gap (18/37), co-dependency, Stockholm Syndrome, attempted rape, explicit language, violence, and sex.

Blog Tour ~ Becoming Bennet by Cora Rose & Nicole Dykes

05/20/2023

 We’re on tour with Becoming Bennet by Cora Rose & Nicole Dykes!

About Becoming Bennet

I cannot stand Bennet Montgomery.

His rugged hotness knows no bounds and his unwavering cheery disposition is maddening. How can someone be that happy all the time? His smile infuriates me.

I need to keep my distance from this man and all his Midwest charm. I have my camboy career to focus on and I can’t afford to get attached or bogged down with his nonsense.

But when Bennet receives devastating news about his mother, his grief consumes him.

I don’t know what to make of this new sad side of Bennet. All I know is that his teary eyes infuriate me even more than his smile. I need to get his stupid smile back.

So that’s how I wind up accompanying him home to his tiny town in rural Kansas.

And let me tell you, this California boy is not cut out for a land where fruit salad has marshmallows and where you’re just as likely to be eaten by a feral cow as you are to be chased down by an angry rooster. *Shudder*

The worst part is, Bennet and I are forced to share one bed in a cramped trailer. And as I try my hardest to comfort this man who I can barely call a friend, I wonder if maybe that flutter in my chest isn’t just heartburn. Maybe I can allow myself to get swept up in him…just for a bit.

That is, if a rogue tornado doesn’t sweep me away first.

Becoming Bennet is a funny and sweet MM romance with forced proximity and only one bed.

About Waiting for You

As a divorced man in my thirties with a throwaway job and very few friends, I admit that I’ve made a lot of bad decisions over the years. Rounding out the top of that epic list was allowing my son’s best friend, Quinn, to talk me into taking him on a two-week summer road trip…alone.

What was supposed to be quality father-son bonding time before Joshua goes off to college has somehow transpired into a battle of wills between me and his nineteen-year-old best friend.

Quinn may be young but he genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with me, something I’ve never experienced before, and it feels nice to finally have someone care. I mean, being friends with the kid wouldn’t be so bad, right?

But Quinn suddenly seems hellbent on flirting with me, and the way he looks at me is anything but friendly. My will to stay away from this sweet, attractive, and persistent young man is waning. With the two of us alone in a camper, in the wilds of Michigan…Christ, this is bad…very, very bad.

Waiting For You is a low-angst and spicy MM age-gap, son’s best friend romance.

Review Tour ~ The New Guy by Sarina Bowen (Review + Excerpt)

03/02/2023

RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 28TH, 2023

A new male / male hockey romance from 24-time USA Today bestseller Sarina Bowen!

My name is Hudson Newgate, but my teammates call me New Guy.

That was my nickname in Chicago, too. And Vancouver. That’s what happens when you keep getting traded. Brooklyn is my last chance, especially after my poor performance last season.

But I can make this work. The new guy knows to keep his head down and shoot the puck. The new guy puts the game first.

What he doesn’t do is hook up with the other new guy—a hot athletic trainer who lives in my building. Gavin needs this job with my team. He’s a single dad with responsibilities.

We can’t be a couple. My arrogant agent–who’s also my father–will lose his mind if I’m dating a dude. And my team needs me to score goals, not whip up a media circus.

Too bad Gavin and I are terrible at resisting each other…

Chaos is a suspenseful motorcycle club romance with strong male leads. A stand-alone story in the Tattoos and Ties series. If you like sexy alpha males ready to take on the world for the one they love and intriguing storylines with many twists and turns, give Chaos a try.

About Abandoned But Not Alone

Felix

I’ve always been a helper. Someone who sees the world in a brighter light than others do. Who tries to show everyone there’s good in this world.

So when I meet Henry, I immediately make it my mission to show him how great the world can be if he’ll only accept a little help.

Easier said than done. But I’ve always liked a challenge.

Henry

I have no idea why this complete stranger wants to help my daughter and me. But I can’t seem to shake him.

Life hasn’t been kind to us, and I clearly don’t see the world the same way he does. I want what’s best for my daughter, though, and if that means accepting help from Felix, then that might be what I have to do.

No matter what my instincts scream at me.

I’ve been abandoned by everyone in my life, and that’s what I expect now.

But Felix seems determined to make sure I know I’m not alone.
