Nuts and Bolts Part of Foggy Basin Small town MM Romance
https://books2read.com/NutsANDBolts
Jack Hulbert has worked at the hardware store Nuts and Bolts since he was sixteen. He had big dreams of leaving town and traveling, but five years later, not much has changed, and he worries he’ll end up living the rest of his life in the small town he was born in.
Hudson Carter has been working in Sacramento for the past ten years, managing a big box store. He left Foggy Basin for college in the city and he never once looked back. His parents have owned the hardware store in town for two generations, and he’d hoped to avoid the same fate, but when his father tells him his plans to either sell the store or close it, he has a change of heart.
Hudson has been single for years, and a few bad breakups have left him jaded about finding the perfect partner. But he’s not prepared for the cute, and much younger man who knows far more than he does about running the hardware store and isn’t afraid to tell him. It’s time for this city boy to embrace his country roots and find out what really matters in his life, and a certain country boy is more than willing to help. #age gap, #city/country, #workplace romance, #small town romance.

In the heart of the small town, the Blue Star Diner serves more than just comfort food. Twenty-four-year-old Andrew Star, a brooding co-manager of a family diner with a past, finds himself drawn to Officer Duarte—a man with secrets as dark as the night. Their attraction is electric, but there’s a catch: both men are hiding their true selves. Andrew, scarred by youthful mistakes, yearns for Officer Duarte’s attention. But Officer Duarte, bound by duty and fear, must keep his sexuality hidden to protect everything he holds dear.
As the tension simmers between them, the Star and Duarte families clash. Their feud, fueled by religious differences, threatens to tear apart the very fabric of their lives. Andrew’s cover as a ladies’ man is a fragile shield, while Officer Duarte walks a tightrope between love and survival.
In a small town where acceptance comes at a high price, Andrew and Officer Duarte must navigate forbidden desires, risking everything for a chance at love. But when secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, they’ll discover that the true battle lies within themselves—a battle that could shatter their lives or set them free. Blue Star Diner is a gripping tale of love, sacrifice, and the courage to embrace who they truly are, even when the odds are stacked against them.

A small town rescue romance -- saving more than their hearts!
Brock inherited a bookstore with a tiny café in the quaint but confining hamlet he grew up in. He never imagined coming home would bring brand new issues and maybe a man of his own to protect.
Eddy is on the run. He may be a little paranoid with a side of anxiety and a tendency to be obsessive, but that doesn't mean someone isn't out to get him. Worse, it might be someone he knows. But he never thought he'd turn to a sexy, gruff and unlikely bookstore owner for help.

to come back to Foggy Basin when my parents wanted to retire. I couldn’t stand to think of my family’s bakery closing. Choices always have a way of biting you on the butt! Now a large corporation is trying to buy out some of our businesses so they will have room to build a resort. Dealing with that was enough – but in walked my old high school crush Ben, and my world got flipped upside down. Why now? Our history is complicated. But he’s acting like he wants a future. What do I want?
BEN- I ran away from Foggy Basin as soon as I graduated. I had been an angry young man who hid everything about himself, terrified that people might discover my truth. A truth I was forced to face because of one Percy Armstrong.
My boss at BHB found out I was from there and sent me back home to help convince the local businesses to sell to them so they could build the luxury resort we were known for. Then I saw Percy, and everything changed. Here was my chance to do it right this time. Nothing could get in my way.

Ex-con turned barber Tyler Rockwell works in his mother’s beauty salon in small-town California. Every resident of Foggy Basin will happily remind Tyler they know the one thing he wants to put behind him.
Mosby Leslie left his old life behind after a tragedy, hiding in the mountains near Foggy Basin, where the fog rolled into the valley like clockwork. Committed to living alone in misery, Mosby fills his days with painting landscapes of the sleepy little village he can see from his front porch and having intense discussions with Barbara Bushy, his only friend.
One day while on a supply run, Mosby trips over a crumbling step in front of Shear Bliss Salon, hitting his head. Next thing he knows, a handsome young man is tending to his every need. The shorter, lean man’s smiles light up Mosby’s sullen world.
To stay in the sunshine of Tyler’s attention for just a little longer, Mosby pretends to have forgotten who he is and where he lives. What will the barber do when he finds out that under Mosby’s long hair and beard is a famous painter who people have been trying to find for over a year? When the fog clears, is there any way the two of them can find Shear Bliss together?

Pints ‘n Pool
Foggy Basin Small Town Series
https://books2read.com/TLPintsnPool
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLKWB51K
Merle Cloverdale’s life was organized to the Nth degree. From the time he woke until the time he went to bed, promptly at midnight. He knew what his day would entail from start to finish.
Relationships would fail, his bar would not and with that attitude it was no wonder his grouchy ass remained unattached.
Kit, no last name, and not because he was famous, but because he was the son of free-spirited parents who felt surnames didn’t define you. Thankfully, they didn’t feel the same about a first. Growing up in a commune full of like-minded adults, he couldn’t wait to get out and explore the world.
Hitchhiking between towns, he never stayed in longer than a couple of months. This trip landed Kit in Foggy Basin. A quick glance around the local businesses, Kit knew odds were he’d find work and stay for a bit while he saved up enough to move on.
Pints ‘n Pool is an opposites attract, grumpy-sunshine tale of two men who were so wrong for each other that they couldn’t be more right. Hopefully, they pull their heads out of their asses before it’s too late. #MMRomanceAuthor#gayromanceauthor#newbookalert#mmromancebook#mmromancerecs#newbooks2024#gayromancebook#MMRomance#newbook#lgbt#workplace#newbookstagram#gayromancenovels#smalltownromance#gayromance🌈 #oppositesattract#bookstagram#gayromancereviews#mmromancereads#mmromancebooks#mmromance#mmromancenovel#gayromancebooks#gayromancenovel#newbooks#MMRomanceBooks#lgbtqromance#bookhoarder#readqueerallyear#QueerRomance

Midnight Pleasure
Foggy Basin Small Town Series
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DF93ZXFF
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLKWB51K
In the shadow of a ruthless legacy, Ares Sinclair faces an impossible choice: undergo conversion therapy and marry a woman chosen by his father, or forfeit the fortune he was born into. Caught between a bitter inheritance and a life that isn’t his own, Ares spirals into a world where love and control blur together—until a fateful crash in the remote town of Foggy Basin sends his carefully constructed world into freefall.
Enter Apollo, a brooding chainsaw sculptor with a past as mysterious as the woods he carves. Ares never imagined the man who saved him would become the one who strips away his defenses with a single glance, unraveling the hardened exterior he’s spent a lifetime perfecting. But as sparks fly and tempers flare, desire simmers just beneath the surface, challenging everything Ares thought he knew about love, identity, and himself.
Ares and Apollo have to navigate a dangerous dance of power, passion, and pain in a town where secrets lie buried deep and redemption carries a price. Each step forward reveals another layer of the truth they’ve been running from, but with every clash of wills, they edge closer to something neither can deny.
Will Ares and Apollo find solace in each other’s arms, or will their 'pasts’ weight be too heavy to bear?
Throughout this journey, you will be transported to moments of breathtaking beauty and heart-wrenching sorrow. But beware: this story is for those who love a little bit of honey in their hearts. With powerful language, comments of emotional and physical abuse, and a hard-earned happy ending, “Midnight Pleasure” is a tale of affection, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of love against all odds.
Can love truly conquer all, or will the scars of the past tear them apart before they can find their future?

Trying his hand at legitimate business ownership hasn’t always gone the way Maddox planned. The ex-motorcycle club enforcer experienced his share of ups and downs before finally achieving success. Now he’s opening a specialty grocery store and outdoor market in the small town of Foggy Basin, and he’s itching to get back to the part enjoys most: crafting the recipes for the newest products that will grace their shelves.
Unfortunately, Maddox's first few days in Foggy Basin haven't been the best. His motorcycle was involved in a hit and run, and the damage was extensive. The mechanic at the local shop isn’t the friendliest and yet he's found himself engaging more and more with Haven as he works on restoring the ‘67 Harley Electra Glide back to its previously pristine condition.
In between homemade Chinese food and Hoagies, Maddox begins to glimpse a side of Haven the younger man didn’t know he had, but the jury is still out on whether Haven will trust him enough to let him past the walls he’s erected to keep himself safe.
Featuring a gruff but nurturing Daddy, a hesitant little, supportive sibling, some judgy townsfolk, a German Sheppard who doubles as a lapdog, an arrogant ally cat who sits everywhere but on laps and a stunning secret reveal that will impact the siblings in ways they never imagined.

Moving to a new town is stressful for Alex, but he loves working as a veterinarian. Living in Foggy Basin seems perfect…until he’s asked to participate in the annual date auction. Revealing he’s gay to the whole town seems unwise, but it’s a good cause, and what could it hurt?

Ryan doesn’t expect the emotions and desire, and Alex is surprised by Ryan’s interest. Can they become more than friends, or should they step away from desire and ignore the pull between them?

Cole Ryan is bored. He’s lived in the same small town his whole life and has the same job. Nothing changes there and every morning when he goes for a run, those thoughts echo on repeat through his mind. Until today, on this day, something big happens and if he survives it, his life won’t be the same. Maybe boring old Hickory Crossing wasn’t so bad after all.
Driving in the rain, on his way to a delivery, Bobby Sanders is focused on the road, when a flash of blue light in the distance catches his eye. He witnesses a bolt of lightning strike a man running on the road ahead of him. He never suspected that bolt of lightning could change both their lives, not just the poor guy who was blown out of his shoes right in front of him.
When the persistent sound of whispering won’t go away, Cole questions his sanity. But maybe he’s not the only one experiencing strange things.

“There’s no time. Remember, I love you.”
It all started with a discovery. A cave beneath a waterfall that held a crystal. Two boys—best friends—embark on a journey they’re told will help all mankind. As the years go by, their friendship turns to love, and their adventure turns into a battle.
Drew Langly is the keeper of the crystal. With his contact, the crystal allows them to jump to different timestreams and help, if they can, to further that society or fix anything that improves their lives. When he’s ripped from the timestream, it’s the beginning of what will change everything they’ve come to know about how the different timestreams function.
Colby Adams is Drew’s boyfriend, fellow traveler, and jump partner. When Drew is left vulnerable after a failed jump, he’s there to help and try to figure out what went wrong. They soon discover another team of travelers is in trouble, but they’ve been warned against trusting them. The more they learn, the more they realize everything has been a lie. To rewrite a history that’s been full of deceit, they’ll need to put their trust, once again, in strangers. Can they rewind it all and begin again? Experience the history they were always meant to? With some unconventional help, maybe…

Rory Smith has been playing bass for Blinding Light since the beginning. Sure, he left a few times temporarily, but he’s always gone back to the only life he’s really known. It was all fun and games in his twenties, but lately he wonders if there’s something more out there besides traveling show to show.
Kai Marshall has always been a huge fan of Blinding Light, but the real reason he goes to every show he can sneak into is to get a glimpse of their hot bass player. Everyone else worshiped the lead singer Easy Rian. When they found out, he was out and proud, and in a relationship with the new guitar player, many hearts were broken. But not his. His heart only beats for Rory, the white-blonde haired rock god that he can’t get out of his head.
Rory’s played the rockstar game for many years. Not one time in all those years has he met anyone who made him feel the way the cute guy off to the side with the haunting blue eyes does. He’s always kept his heart of lockdown, but maybe it’s time for a jailbreak. His dreams have faded, but they’re not completely gone. #agegap #oppositesattract #friendstolovers #rockstarromance
