Weekend Update from Rome!

Mar 23, 2024 10:55 pm

Hi everyone, my holiday has started. We've been in Rome the past few days and tomorrow will start the bus tour that will take us to more than ten different countries. So far we've seen Pompeii, the Amalfi coast, the baths at Rome, the catacombs and the forum. The food has been fantastic and the people are friendly. I'll update you next week of where we've been.


Have you read Dead Things yet? I can't wait to finish book two. I'm currently working on a shared world project, then I'll be back to writing more for my necromancer and empath. Here's a few reviews.

Dead Things (Spirit Boys Book One)

Preorder Book Two: https://books2read.com/LWTDSB2

Since Bran Tanda started working at the morgue, his life has changed. He’s spent most of his life denying his necromancer abilities, but now he knows there’s no other choice but to embrace it and learn as much as he can about it. No matter how much he hates it.

Jordan Amid is becoming more comfortable being around the dead. But they still overwhelm him and terrify him. The coldness and the heavy emotions he associates with being near a spirit are nearly too much for him to take. But for Bran, he’ll try.

Bran and Jordan soon realize there is more going on than they understand, and even Janis isn’t sure how to handle what she knows is coming for them. Mysterious markings continue to appear and unless they can learn more from the journals Bran finds at his house, there may be no hope for anyone. #MMParanormal Romance #Urban Fantasy, #Necromancer #Empath

Book Two Faded Dreams: https://mybook.to/FadedDreamsRTR2 

Easy Rian has been lead singer for Blinding Light since the band was formed. Through the years many things have changed. Not all of them good. When the lead guitarist leaves mid-tour, the rest of the band is left waiting to see if they’ll continue on to Rocktoberfest, or if this is where their tour ends.

Liam Tarrant has been playing guitar for as long as he can remember. When he gets the chance to audition for Blinding Light, he jumps at the chance. Meeting the band is surreal, especially the lead singer, Easy. Liam has always had a crush on Easy, but he never thought he’d get the chance to meet him, let alone spend time alone with him.

Easy is drawn to Liam, no matter how much he wants to deny it. When the two are thrown together over practice and planning the upcoming tour, attraction grows between the two of them that neither can deny. But falling in love on tour could be what finally ends Blinding Light, and both of them will need to choose what’s more important to them. Love or music, can they have it all? #Rockstar #mmromance #grumpysunshine #friendstolovers

Series Link: Fallen Fairytales  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CPPM1463


The four Stroud brothers were all born into magic, and when they all come of age their powers will be revealed. It all sounds like a fairytale, but not all magic is good. Their mother embraced the darkness and paid with her life.


Finn Stroud was happy working on the family farm until the day his father announced it was time for them all to go out and find their place in the world, and their magic. He and his four brothers knew this was the tradition of the Imagi people who were meant to wield elemental magic, but Finn soon finds how ill prepared he was for the real world.


Alwin travels from town to town using his own brand of magic to get what he can from anyone that crosses his path. His luck runs out and he’s left along the side of the road in a rainstorm. Finn offers him shelter and Alwin offers to guide him in the ways of magic, but everything has a price. A dark fairytale retelling of The Four Clever Brothers.

Luka trades the short-term approval of his lover by helping with a home robbery for the gilded cage of Captain Clarke’s cruise ship. A year of servitude, a court-mandated reprieve from prison, all thanks to his influential father’s deal. Sadly, Luka’s immediate future includes scrubbing the decks and hauling suitcases, a stark contrast to the prison sentence he could have faced alongside his lover, Maleko. Haunted by the ghost of his lover’s absence and his own guilt, Luka grapples with newfound tenderness coming from the least expected person. 

🛳️ ⋰🤿⋱ 🏳️‍🌈 ⋰🌞🕶️⋰ ♥️🥽🌞⋱ 🏳️‍🌈 ⋰🤿🛳️

Captain Westly John Clarke, an experienced maritime hardliner, enforces the court’s contract with grim adherence. Beneath the surface, something shifts. Luka’s boyish charm chips away at the older man’s icy exterior. Still, he keeps Luka at arm’s length, unable to forget the bitter memories of the young man’s past. As the Captain battles his own awakening heart and hidden secrets, his compass spins out of control, adding to the chaos.

As the love story etches in the shadow of a criminal past and the unforgiving grip of duty leaves them both adrift in unchartered waters. Only time and the churning sea will tell if they admit what’s in their hearts.

Pride Cruise 2024 Series Page: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLKWB4JJ

 

Get a job on a cruise ship, they said. It will calm you down.

 

Highly unlikely.

 

I’ve been hyper all my life and the only one who knew how or cared to deal with me was my mother. I’d put the poor woman through hell and the best way for her to get a long break from me was to take a job that included travel. Vale Harper, two weeks at sea, should do the trick and give mom the rest she more than deserved.

 

What I hadn’t expected to find was a much-needed outlet for my endless energy. Pet Play, where have you been all my life?

 

Lonely. Confused. Tired of listening to myself complain. Jack Barrett, master of absolutely nothing. My hands were in more pots than I could keep track of. Thankfully, the managers I had in place took care of everything and now all I had left was…me.

 

Boy after boy passed through my life, but none stuck. Was I too much for them? Too controlling? Not controlling enough? No one had the answer. Not my therapist, not my last boy, and certainly not me.

 

Ahoy Daddy! is an MM, Pet Play, crazy monkey, sweet Daddy tale of two lost souls whose paths cross in the most unsuspecting of places.

 

Welcome to Pride Cruise 2024!

 

Where the water is crisp, the men are HOT, and the party has started! Each book is a standalone but feel free and dive in and binge them all. You won't want to miss a second of their naughty antics. If you think they're silly when the sun is up, just wait until it goes down.

Strike A Chord

Chaotic Abyss book 1

https://www.books2read.com/Chaotic1

Cover model: Logan Blackthorn

Photographer: Wander Aguiar

Cover artist: Morningstar Ashley

 

Josh Gray has made bad decisions and regretted them all, but it’s the rock ‘n roll lifestyle, so no problem, right? However, karma is a bitch.

Mistake one…sleeping with the then boyfriend of the lead singer of one of the top bands, Social Sinners, which leads to Josh being fired as Ryder Hampton’s backup guitarist.

Mistake two…signing on with Nicholas Shane Management, who promises a new band that’s the perfect fit. It turns out Nick is dealing dirty, and his company collapses when he’s sent to prison.

Josh’s world is in ruins and starting over is next to impossible. Word gets around that he’s screwed over rock ‘n roll’s poster children, and he can’t get an audition. The future is now an endless stream of empty whisky bottles, and a surly server that no matter how hard Josh tries, refuses to sleep with him.

If you’ve read the Social Sinners or Maiden Voyage series, you’ll understand the tough road that lies ahead for Josh. Is redemption possible, or should he just throw in the towel and walk away once and for all?

Strike a Chord is book one in the Chaotic Abyss rockstar romance series featuring hurt/comfort, second chances, and a bartender who just wants to be left alone.

https://books2read.com/BelowDeck

JJ Carrington was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He’s used to flying in business class and spending all his holidays at the nicest resorts in the world. But lately he’s tired of the same vacation over and over again, and the one-night stands that seem to plague him.

Cory Wynn has been working on a cruise ship for the past year. He’d never traveled before that, and now he’s seen more of the Caribbean than he even knew existed. He hoped to meet someone to fall in love with while at sea, but so far all he does is work.

When JJ ends up partying late into the night with some of the passengers from a cruise ship, he follows them onboard. But when Cory finds him sleeping in a deckchair after the ship has sailed, he takes him to his cabin. JJ is used to getting his way in everything in life, but he may have met his match in the cruise worker who can’t wait until the next stop to get him off the ship. #oppositesattract #smalltown/city #vacationromance

Salt and Lime 

BL Maxwell 

https://books2read.com/Saltandlime


Sal Hutton books a trip to Cancún on a whim. Needing some time off from work, he sees an opportunity to go and takes it—alone. After a red-eye flight and full of excitement for what he might experience over the next week, he strikes up a conversation with the handsome taxi driver who gives him a ride to his hotel, and hopes their paths cross again. Derrik Green came to Cancún for a vacation, and two years later is still here, after falling in love with the city and its people. He’s working as a taxi driver and is happier than ever. After dropping off the man named Sal, he can’t stop thinking about him, and hopes that eventually he’ll call, even if it’s just to hire him for a ride or private tour. 

Soon their wish comes true and they’re spending time together, enjoying all the sights and adventures Cancun has to offer. 

Sal and Derrik weren’t looking for love, but maybe they were meant to meet here, half a world away from their regular lives, and right in the middle of a tropical paradise. With so many people behind them, they might just get their happily ever after under starry nights and surrounded by the beautiful blue Caribbean. #vacationromance #tropicalvacation #mm #mmromance #cancun #vacationshort #meetcute #hea #noangst #sweetread
