Weekend Roundup!
Aug 31, 2024 7:10 pm
Happy Labor Day to all the US readers. In the past we'd always have a few barbecues for this weekend making it feel like it was MY labor day LOL not a day off. We don't do that anymore :)
This weekend I'll be starting on Tangled Weeds, I can't wait to get back to writing about the guys in Blinding Light! This year they're forced to temporarily add a new member after one member of the band is injured. I still don't have the blurb but I'll have it this week.
Here are all the Cookie updates! More next week.

I've had some great reviews for Nuts and Bolts which I truly appreciate. Small Town romance is very close to my heart since a lot of the inspiration comes from the town I grew up in. There are so many random memories that go into one of these books, they're always a pleasure for me. Thank you again for all of you that have read one or all books in the series. There may be more from Foggy Basin in the future :)

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.

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.
LAST CHANCE!

“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…

Faded Dreams
Blinding Light Book Two

Faded Dreams: https://mybook.to/FadedDreamsRTR2
Blinding Light: https://mybook.to/BlindingLight
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

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

Age Gap, Police Officer, Family Diner Co-owner, Opposites Attract, Families Clashes, 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.

“How about a meat lovers pizza from The Crispy Crust?” Haven suggested. “I’ll pay if you’ll go.”
Maddox chuckled at that. “Not sure if I should take that as you being hungry or you looking for every excuse to be rid of me?”
“A little of both, though hungry is edging out everything else right now,” Haven admitted. “It’ll give me a chance to finish taking this apart so I can start rebuilding it tomorrow, unless you’d like to delay having your baby back beneath you a little while longer.”
“I get the hint,” Maddox replied as he stepped away. “But the pizza is on me. You just focus on my Harley, and I’ll get you fed.”
“Fine, but if you start feeding me pieces, I’m going to take that as an invitation to show you just how good with my lips and tongue I can be when properly motivated.”
Maddox’s chuckle sent a shiver of electric pinpricks dancing along his skin.
“In that case,” Maddox murmured. “Game on.”
“Shit,” Haven groaned, realizing exactly how that had come off as Maddox headed for the door, laughing all the way.

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?
After being a jerk to Alex, Ryan decides to make it up to him by bidding on his date at the auction. The event is for charity and means nothing…or does it?
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?
Welcome to Foggy Basin. 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.
