Camping 101

BL Maxwell

Covers by: Covers By Jo

Gavin Johnson has been camping as long as he can remember. His family spent a few weeks every summer either on the coast of California or in the forests of the Sierra enjoying the simple life and getting closer to nature. Which is why when he had the opportunity to buy Camp Acorn where he’d worked in his twenties, he jumped at the chance.


Wyatt Jackson loves his life. He has everything he wants or needs at home. But he starts to crave change. He wants a new start, and new experiences. When he sees an ad for a camp for adults nestled deep in the Sierra, he registers for a two-week stay before he has the chance to change his own mind, and quickly regrets that decision.

Staying in a cabin for two weeks is supposed to be an adventure, but Wyatt soon realizes it’s far from luxurious, and there’s also poison oak, bugs, and rattlesnakes to watch out for. Gavin is always there to lend a hand and really wants them all to have fun. Afterall, that’s what Camp Acorn is all about, teaching adults how to have fun and survive in the wilderness, even if they complain the whole time. Opposites Attract, MM Romance

When Ryan Stone’s aunt asks for help with her bookstore, he leaves the city and moves to the small town of Grace, at least temporarily. He’s so busy cleaning and restocking the store he almost doesn’t notice the handsome mechanic that always seems to show up at the park at the same time he has his lunch.

Every day for the past few weeks, Charlie Castle has been going to the park across the street from the auto shop, hoping for a chance to meet the new guy from the bookstore with the shock of red hair and a penchant for pink sugar cookies.

Ryan wasn’t looking for love when he met Charlie, but meeting Charlie might just give him everything he never knew he needed. MM Small Town Romance, Opposites Attract, Found Family

Finding Isaac

Foggy Basin Season Two

Preorder for August 13

Finding Isaac: https://books2read.com/FindingIsaac

Series Link:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DST7K6BR

Isaac Grant has lived in Foggy Basin for all of his twenty-three years. Everything was perfect until his favorite friend with benefits, Jack, met the love of his life. Sure, he was happy for Jack, but he missed him and wanted someone of his own to keep him warm at night, or to get into trouble with.


Tig Sawyer left Foggy Basin after only living there for a little over a year. He graduated from high school and moved onto an out-of-state college and, for the most part, never looked back. But memories of that slower pace always came back to him when he was neck deep in work, and his personal life.


Isaac was never looking for a relationship and was more than

happy to live his life loose and free, but since meeting Tig, he wonders why he never wanted someone of his own. He also questions why someone like Tig, who has his life together and always seems happy as hell, would want to take him on. But there’s something in the way Tig looks at him that says he’s more than willing.

Welcome to Foggy Basin Season Two. Just passing through? No problem. Here to stay, well, better find your place. Sit back, relax and get to know the townsfolk. They love hard and play even harder. Each book is a standalone but why not stay and get to know us and read them all.

Ebook 99¢ Ends July 6

https://books2read.com/u/3yLGRp

“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…

Blinding Light

https://books2read.com/BlindingLight


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

https://books2read.com/RuggedRetreat

❤️Age Gap 🧡Opposites Attract 💛Pride Camp 💚MM Romance 💙Tents 💜Risk taking ❤️Kindle Unlimited  

One man was running from roots. The other was still learning how to plant them.

 

Clayton Robinson thought he’d found peace behind the bar of his cozy pub in Lodi, California, where the drinks flowed easy, the regulars felt like family, and the open road was just a distant hum. Relationships? Not his thing. He liked freedom too much… until he stepped into the Rainbow Coffee Shop in Stockton and met Sawyer Gallagher.


Sawyer doesn’t do first moves. He barely knows how to trust. Raised on an isolated farm, homeschooled and cut off from the world, he fled everything he knew after uncovering a family secret that shattered his past. But when Clayton notices the small bracelet on Sawyer’s wrist, the one Sawyer wears as a silent signal of hope, something shifts.


What begins with coffee turns into a trip neither planned. Along the way, laughter cracks open silence. Long-held secrets are confessed at Summer Pride Camp. And that tiny spark? It doesn’t stay small for long in a shared tent.


Sometimes love doesn’t ask for permission. It just climbs over the fences we build—and dares us to follow.



Welcome to Pride Camp where diversity and inclusion is our motto. We’ve got daddies, mommies, littles, pets and families of all kinds. So, unroll your sleeping bag, make a couple smores, and enjoy the show!

Finding Archie (Foggy Basin Season Two)

Keywords: MM Romance, Small Town, Proximity, Hurt &Comfort, Irish teacher, Blue Star Diner server

🏳️‍🌈📕🧡📙🏳️‍🌈📒📗🏳️‍🌈📘🧡🏳️‍🌈

Archie Star’s life had always been marked by loneliness. After losing his mother at eleven, he was left with a father who never quite knew what to do with him. Even after earning a literature degree, Archie felt like a ghost in his own home, unseen and unneeded. When his cousin Andrew offered him a job at the Blue Star Diner in Foggy Basin, he took it as a sign. With nothing but a duffel bag and a restless heart, he climbed onto his motorcycle and rode toward a fresh start, hoping to find a place where he could finally breathe.

 

Andrew secured him a room in the home of Brogan Finnegan, a charming Irish high school teacher with a storyteller’s soul. Brogan had traveled the world before settling in Foggy Basin, drawn to teaching after years of volunteering in communities abroad. His warm home and steady presence offered Archie something he hadn’t felt in years—comfort, safety, and maybe even belonging.

 

But it was Brogan himself who truly captivated Archie.

 

What started as quiet conversations over late-night cups of tea and shared glances across rooms soon became something deeper. Two men, both searching for connection in their own way, found solace in each other. In the gentle rhythm of daily life, in the laughter that softened the edges of their pasts, they pieced themselves together. And in doing so, they learned that home isn’t always a place—it’s a person.

 

Finding Archie is a story of love, healing, and the unexpected places where we find home.

🏳️‍🌈📕🧡📙🏳️‍🌈📒📗🏳️‍🌈📘🧡🏳️‍🌈

Welcome to Foggy Basin, Season Two. Just passing through? No problem. But if you’re here to stay, you’d better find your place. The townsfolk love hard and play even harder. Each book is a standalone, but why not stay a while and read them all?

Only one has ever held on to the hope of them reuniting, and with a few well times suggestions and a whole lot of luck, he’ll finally have them in the same place together after eight years.


Eight long years of pining and wishing for a wand he could wave to put things back to the way they used to be. When the fireworks that burst forth at their reunion are sparked by a passionate embrace, he begins to hope that the two weeks that lay ahead of them at Pride Camp were going finally fix what was broken between them.


Especially when they meet a man interested in not one, or even two of them, but the trio they’d always been, and the potential is as limitless as the fireflies they chase along the banks of the lake. When the past rears its ugly head, can he find a way to lay it to rest forever, or will he lose them all as they lose themselves to bitter and angry grudges?

Menottѐ avec toi

Handcuffed with you

From Authors Layla Dorine & TL Travis

Coming 7/18/2025

https://books2read.com/Menotteavectoi

 

Despite the breakup of their marriage, Harper and her ex-husband Simon remained friends. As co-owners of the popular lifestyle club, Menotte avec toi, they decided to put out an open call to local artists to fill the colorful walls of their freshly renovated club.

 

Harper expected bright colors and sensual art. What she didn’t expect was to find love.

 

On a whim, free spirited Sonnet attends the call out having come to a bit of a crossroads in her career. Maybe this was just the spark she needed to fill those empty canvases haunting her studio.

 

Will Sonnet be the one to soothe Harper’s soul and in return can Harper silence the cruel voices inside Sonnets head?
