At SQ's House

Lots of ice-skating on the lake this week and as promised, here's a pic. Hope you're not disappointed that it's not an action photo of a triple loop jump (or whatever it's called.) I'm lucky I didn't slide on my butt across the lake.

Truth: Skating isn't exactly like riding a bike--you can forget how to do it!

But I'm getting back into the rhythm. Next week maybe I'll have an action pic (but maybe not) ❄️❄️

Meanwhile, in a fit of trying to get fit, I've also gone to Hot Yoga and the gym this week! (Let's see how long this lasts.) But don't ask about the diet...

How about you? Any New Year new doings?

I Want To Know What Love Is

Trope: Forbidden Love/Age Gap

TEASER:

My heart pounds like a locomotive as I replay the kiss, alternately euphoric and horrified at myself. What in god’s name was I thinking?

Not a damn thing. I let go of my discipline and let my stupid dick take over and now I’m going to pay. Shit. The dual streams of pleasure and dread pound through me until I reach the driveway. When I shut down the car I take a few deep breaths to get myself back to normal because there’s no way I can walk inside in this state.

Review Spotlight for Notorious Man on Campus

"I absolutely love these books I have read them all so far! Brick and Nylas story is unique and such a great tale! I adore the way each character has its flaws and still has amazing attributes! It is such a great read I would recommend it to everyone! I adore the hockey ones more but the football ones are still a great read!"
