Greetings Everyone~! I hope this holiday season is treating you well. Illness has been hanging on strong in my household, but we're doing our best!
What is going on in Joelle Land? Wish Me Home has been out for three weeks now and I am so happy that everyone seems to be loving Emmett and Cody so much! I came up with this crazy idea of finding love in an airport. It's chaotic and a little crazy, but it was also fun and different.
Have you not had the chance to look into it yet? You definitely should!
Are you looking for other fun MM Romance reads that are low on the angst and high on the festive feels? Check this out!
NEW AND UPCOMING RELEASES
Mike
The only reason I moved to Pine Ridge was because of my fiancé. When he dumped me… I may have lashed out in anger and accidentally broken my kitchen. When the contractor I hire ghosts me, it looks like I’m screwed. Until a handsome stranger in a bar approaches me and offers his brother’s assistance in fixing it. As Rooney and I spend more time together, I can’t help but be drawn to him. Just my luck that I crush on a straight, single dad. Rooney is straight… isn’t he?
Rooney
I don’t know what it is but, since the first time I saw him, something about Mike fascinated me. And when I overhear his tale of remodeling woe, I’m compelled to offer up my brother and his handyman skills. But what happens when I no longer have an excuse to spend all of my available time with Mike? Maybe we could still be the kind of friends that spend our free time together. Huh. That sounds an awful lot like… dating. But I’ve never been attracted to a man before… right?
How far would you go to save someone?
I can't afford distractions.
I've been put on academic probation and I'm one mistake away from being expelled and losing everything I've worked so hard for.
All I want is to make my mother proud and honor her memory by getting my degree.
My plan this semester is to keep my head down, focus on my studies, and stay out of trouble.
But fate is fickle, and it seems like she has other plans when she suddenly dumps him at my feet.
Weston Perkins, the university's star football player.
He's the worst kind of distraction — beautiful and vicious, arrogant and hot as sin, troubled and vulnerable.
I can't bear to be around him, and yet, I can't seem to stay away.
But the more time I spend with him, the more I realize that there is something very wrong with West.
He's harboring a dark secret and desperately needs a friend.
I'm going to help him, even if he doesn't want it, and even if it means putting my future on the line.
Because some things in life are worth getting in trouble for.
Saving West is a slow-burn, emotional, hurt/comfort MM romance with moderate angst and a hard-earned HEA.
Trigger Warnings: One of the main characters suffers from a chronic medical condition, while the other deals with the loss of a parent. Despite the challenges these two characters face, they get the happily ever after ending they deserve.
What do you call being stranded with your brother’s best friend? A Recipe for disaster? Or a dream come true?
Ethan Wang
College is supposed to be my chance to start over. To leave high school behind and focus on my studies to become a vet. Then, I board a plane on winter break and find myself seated next to my brother’s best friend. The same guy I had a huge crush on even though he always seemed to have it out for me.
It should be a quick flight filled with awkward small talk, but plans change when the plane’s engine fails and we have to land in the middle of nowhere. After a sequence of ill-fated events, we’re forced to share a B&B with only one bed. Trapped in a room with a man I’ve hidden my feelings from for years… What’s the worst that could happen?
Kingsley Sharp
I usually get what I want, thanks to my mastery at charming my way into anyone’s heart. That, however, hasn’t been the case with my best friend’s brother. We got off on the wrong foot, and I want nothing more than to win him over.
Now with us stranded together, my chance has come. Stuck in a small town full of snow drifts and holiday cheer, I’m determined to use this disaster to make this a magical holiday neither of us will forget.
The Holiday Disaster is a standalone MM romance with college-aged characters. It’s a fun blend of sweet and steamy moments featuring brother’s best friend, one bed, first love, slow burn, and opposites attract tropes.
Noah and I were like a double-up wave. Together we were stronger and more powerful.
Zayden
It didn’t matter if I was well-behaved or a good son. My parents refused to accept that I wasn’t a sinner when I kissed a boy at fifteen years old. I soon found myself without parents and a home. But fate had other plans for me when desperation had me stealing a surfboard. The owners of the surf shop I stole from took me under their wing and fostered me. It was then that I met the blond boy, so full of love and sunshine, who would become the love of my life.
Noah
I tried hard to be a good son, taking care of my mom whenever she was on one of her drunken binges, which was all the time. But it was exhausting. I needed a break and a job. That was when I met the feral and angry boy with golden eyes. He was desperate for a friend and I wanted to be that person. His surfing club hired me so that I could finally find my way out from my mother’s suffocation. It was also there that I found someone who would love me without conditions.
Zayden and Noah had been together for five years, loving and supporting each other, through ups and downs. Will they survive the next trial life just tossed at them?
