Hi everyone! I'm working away trying to get as much done as I can in the next two weeks. I leave for Rome on March 19 with my friend Nic. We're traveling all over until we end up at RARE Paris. We're both excited since we've never been to this part of the world. I remember studying Pompeii when I was in sixth grade, and FINALLY this year I get to actually visit with my bestie. I will be posting updates to my social media so if you follow me there you'll get to see everything we see along the way.

Here's my links just in case: https://smart.bio/blmaxwellwriter/

The response to my Blind Date with a Book promotion has been crazy. I do still have a few old covers left if you're interested and I also I have Blind Date for new books too. I'll put my shop on holiday when I'm gone, so if you've been waiting to purchase, now is the time. I'll be ordering bookmarks and a postcard for Divided this weekend so it'll be here before I leave. I'm also thinking of doing a hardcover for it. Most of my books are available in my shop but I think there may be a few I still need to add. You can check it out here: https://payhip.com/BLMaxwell If you have any questions just hit reply on this email and it'll get to me.

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.

Randy Miller is living his dream come true. His cookie business has taken off since he started it just before Christmas, and he’s in love. He never thought he’d find the love he’d always dreamed of with someone he’d known his whole life, and who he’d always thought of as competition.

Eli Canton is happier than he’s ever been. He’s living with Randy, the love of his life. They spend their nights getting to know each other better, and baking when they’re not distracted by each other. He’s proud to know Randy’s business is as successful as it is, and he’s more than willing to help him make it even better.

When Valentine’s Day rolls around, both Randy and Eli want to surprise each other. They’ve only been together a few months, but neither can imagine loving someone else the way they love each other. If they can both pull off their plans, Valentine’s Day could be even more exciting than Christmas was, and definitely full of more surprises. #friends to lovers #Gay Romance #Holiday Romance

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.

A Little for Christmas! Blaine's Secret

Blaine is in need of a Daddy. He sees a flyer for a Christmas mixer and bravely calls for both himself and his foster brother Davie. Daddy Jacob and his BFF Daddy Caleb are the organizers for the mixer and are both smitten with the boys. Jacob and Blaine cannot stay away from each other, and they fall fast and hard. On top of all this, Blaine has a secret about both him and Davie. The spice is just right, and the HEA is adorable.

Each book in A Little Christmas is a standalone. But each boy is silly, unique, lovable, and downright adorable, so why not read them all?

This book is part of A Little Christmas: Season Two 2023 multi-author series with themes loosely based on the classic book A Secret Garden.

Age Gap, Russian Mob Boss Daddy/ Flirting Dancer, Forced Proximity, Spankings, Daddy/boy, Daddy Kink, Mix-up Gifts, and Surprises.

Review from Kurtis:

Fired for Flirting!

This book was enjoyable. It was a lighthearted read. The main characters were well crafted and the sex not over the top. Daddy Baranov has a hard shell but a soft interior, and looks after all his employees and family, but he has fallen in love with a new dancer Danny. Both Danny and Daddy Baranov have family issues they need to work out. Daddy Baranov is a self-made millionaire that owns a number of Nightclubs, strip joints and casinos. Danny is a college student studying dance with a non-supporting abusive father. There is room for a full series of spin off books based on the characters in the book that need their own stories. 

Available on KU, Audio, and Paperback!

Daniel is part of A Daddy for Christmas, a multi-author series. All the books are standalones, but each Daddy has a unique gift for his wonderful boy (or boys). Except all boys know that sometimes Santa gets it wrong, and it's going to take a very special Daddy to make it right. So why not stay and read them all?

Remember Tristan from “Clancy’s Collar”? This book explains the heartbreaking reasons behind his unruly behavior and shifting emotions. We meet the sources of much of his pain and watch as he finds solace in the kind Master John Dunn, who becomes the most significant father figure in his life. 

 Tristan has issues because of his past, and he thinks and behaves younger than his actual age. All he has ever wanted since we met him is to find a loving Dom to collar him. 

Gustavo fits that bill and there is an instant connection between them. Unlike every other man Tristan has been with, Gustavo is completely open and honest with him emotionally and physically, but not completely honest about his family and his reasons for being in Ireland. He understands Tristan and what he needs. 

Gustavo escaped from his father’s shady business in Spain, causing a permanent rift between them. He settled in Galway, Ireland, where he found a new business rescuing horses. His sub chose not to join him, leaving him single and lonely. Seeking some BDSM play with a submissive, he visits the local club. Little did he know, he would find more than he bargained for.

Both Tristan and Gustavo have baggage: exes who refuse to fade away and family that they desperately want to escape. 

When things get tough, Tristan’s emotional pendulum swings wildly, shifting from blaming and resenting Gustavo to blaming himself and believing he’s undeserving of love. HEA.

Not a standalone book!

Life for young Henry Adams was lonely, mundane, and just plain sad. His only friend, a unicorn stuffie named Merlin, was always nearby and ready anytime Henry needed a hug. By day, Henry was the owner of Turn the Page bookstore, but at night he was a lonely boy who dreamt of having a Daddy of his own.

Mitchell Blackthorn moved back home after years away, living a grand life in Chicago when his mother fell and broke her hip. When another fall led to a dementia diagnosis, Mitchell turned to his best friend Jensen for support and guidance. What he didn’t expect to find was love.

Jensen Pohler had been head over heels stupidly in love with his best friend Mitchell since the day they met. Mitchell, however, didn’t feel the same. For years Jensen fought the attraction by filling his bed with one boy after another, only to be disappointed in the end when the relationship would fail.

One lost boy, two struggling daddies, and a stuffie named Merlin. Do they have what it takes to make each other whole? To become a family. Or were they wasting their time searching for something that wasn’t there?

Two Dad’s for Henry is a #daddies #littles #MMM, best friends to lovers, hurt/comfort, #agegap, family life romance.

Chaotic Abyss book 1

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.

Damon will never regret freeing his best friend, even if it has put him in a powerful witch's sights. For a human, even an accomplished hitman, a witch is a dangerous enemy to have.

Damon was thinking of leaving the hitman life behind when in a stroke of irony, a hit is ordered on him. Soon, nowhere is safe, not even the demon realm. He finds himself under the protection of Mori, a demon prince and his best friend's dad. Damon doesn't do love, but he can't deny they share a connection. How can he guard his heart from the sweet demon?

As a prince, his people love Mori, yet no one has caught his attention quite like Damon. The hitman is hiding more than a tragic past. Mori wants to learn his secrets and earn Damon's love.

It will take more than Mori and his bodyguard to protect Damon, but when the Northarbor Coven gets involved, everything becomes more complicated.

Was Damon a fool for thinking that Northarbor and a life with Mori could be his fresh start?

April's Fool is the second book in the Northarbor Coven series, with a hitman who loves to be creative in his work and a golden retriever type demon. Someone meets their end to a peanut allergy and there is some violence. Best read after January Blues.

Friends to enemies to lovers

Quinton Thorn has always wanted to own a bakery and share his love of food with as many people as possible. His passion for taking regular recipes and turning them into something special is what makes his food unique. When he meets Enzo Reid the first day of culinary school, he has no reason to question why he’s there. He accepts that Enzo is just as passionate about baking as he is. He soon realizes he has feelings for Enzo that go beyond friendship, but for the sake of their business, he keeps his feelings to himself.

Enzo Reid started culinary school, hoping for a second chance. He’d already had one career, and when it disintegrated, he wanted a new start. He never meant to deceive Quinton, but he was never totally honest with him either, and now his actions will force him to choose between keeping their friendship or continuing their business. He has six months to decide what he’ll do, then he’ll need to live with his decision, and the choices he’s made in the past.
