Blurb: Detective Gabriel Ashby has never looked twice at another man, yet the criminal across from him, the man he’s interrogating, isn’t like any other. Gabe can’t deal with the sudden, intense need he has for one of NYPD’s Most Wanted. Everyone close to Angelo Pagan ends up dead, with the smug gang leader standing amid the rubble. Gabe would love nothing more than to bust Angelo’s ass and lock him up. So why is he seeing the bastard in his dreams at night?

Angelo Pagan knows attraction to Gabe is suicide. He’s resolute to ignore the chemistry…until a police raid goes wrong. He critically injures Gabe, changing the trajectory of both their lives. Now the two can’t get close enough. They settle into a forbidden affair threatened by lies and betrayal, living on different sides of the law with no way of breaching the gap between them. With the authorities looking to make an example of Angelo, Gabe has to decide if it’s really worth it to hate the sin but love the sinner.

Review: Gabriel Ashby is content with his life, or so he thinks. He has a long time live in girlfriend and he’s a successful detective with the local police force. Now sitting in an interrogation room across from Crime Boss and all around bad guy, Angelo Pagan, he feels something for this man that he’s never felt before. Weeks later and Ashby can’t stop thinking about Angelo Pagan, but he stuffs those feelings down deep, attempting to ignore them. Until he is shot in an ambush, by none other than Angelo Pagan. The bullet is a clean shot with no chance of seriously hurting Gabe, well, other than his pride.

Angelo Pagan has been living life in a fog since his sister was murdered at her birthday dinner. And then he spent a miserable afternoon being questioned by Gabriel Ashby, now he can’t stop thinking about the gorgeous cop with the mesmerizing eyes and curly dark hair. When one of his men stumbles on Gabe at a raid, Pagan steps up and shoots Gabe rather than allowing his man to do it knowing the gunman would surely kill the cop.

While recovering and off duty, Gabe’s girlfriend moves out, something about him being emotionally absent. He too is now living life in a fog, not even realizing that one crime boss is watching his every move. Soon enough Pagan makes his presence and his interest in Gabe known. Gabe tells himself this is a mistake, Pagan is a mobster, and he is a cop, not to mention Pagan is a man. But the attraction will not be denied and the two begin an unconventional affair that seems to be doomed from the start. Making an agreement to keep their affair and their jobs separate, they quickly learn neither one of them will be able to follow through with that. Can Pagan keep his associates from finding out about Gabe? Can Gabe separate the man he is falling in love with, with the mobster crime boss that Pagan is when they aren’t together?

This story is all about the raw sexuality that is shared by two men who are complete polar opposites, but can’t seem to keep their hands off each other, among other things. The writing was gritty, as were some of the characters and the storyline. Pagan truly is a murderous gangster with a heart, his goal is to get out of the business and get as far away from all the darkness as possible. Taking Gabe with him, of course. Gabe has fallen in love with the tall, dark, and brooding Italian with the long curly hair and golden hued eyes that seem to bore through his soul. But he has a hard time with these feelings as they go against everything it is to be a cop. He’s supposed to bring down the bad guy, not fall in love with him.

Narrated by Renard Pasquale and though this is my first audio with him, it won’t be my last. He transitioned flawlessly between the American accent of Gabe and that gangster sheik Italian slang that Angelo threw around. I was completely engrossed in this story between the writing and the narration. Multiple characters were woven into the story and first off, the author gave each one a veritable attitude. And then Pasquale carried that over into the audio book giving these men their own distinct voice.

Angelo and Gabe carry this raw, passionate sexuality as well that could not be denied. I would definitely recommend this audio book, and I cannot possibly imagine reading it on paper would be any less rewarding. My only complaint would be a bit of a weird transition for Gabe from being almost shy and inexperienced and then not ten pages later, he is taking the dirty talk and directing his lover to a whole new level. That was off for me, but overall this was one of the sexiest books I’ve listened to in a while.

Blurb: When Brandon Kenner shows up at Kasey Ralston’s garage with a 1970 Chevelle SS 454, Kasey is smitten by both the man and his car. But Kasey is a mechanic with a shameful secret. He has a fondness for old muscle cars, a fondness that goes far beyond what most people would consider normal. So between what Kasey considers a disgraceful fetish and his long estrangement from his family, he finds it easiest to be alone, even distancing himself from his coworkers.

But it doesn’t take Brandon long to guess Kasey’s secret, and he doesn’t think the sexy mechanic’s fetish is weird. In fact, he likes it, and he makes no secret of his intentions to seduce the man.

Kasey doesn’t know how to resist someone as charming as Brandon, and he’s more than willing to be seduced. But what are Brandon’s long-term intentions? Kasey is afraid of hoping too much, but equally afraid that when all is said and done, Brandon will leave, and Kasey will be left alone once again. Can Kasey be normal enough for a relationship with Brandon, despite his fetish?

Review: Kasey has an unusual kink that he keeps hidden, but when Brandon drives into the garage Kasey works in a 1970 Chevelle SS 454 Kasey is quickly smitten, with the driver and the car. Brandon picks up on Kasey’s kink and finds himself intrigued with the cute sexy mechanic, but trying to get the shy man to believe he is interested is hard. Kasey begins to worry over his kink and whether he will ever be able to hold Brandon’s attention; can he put aside his fear and embrace what Brandon offers?

Ah there’s nothing like a cute mechanic who has a bit of a kink for classic cars and a sexy lawyer who just happens to have a classic car collection, oh you can just imagine the steamy times ahead! Kasey is really wary of putting himself out there, in his experience it usually leads to him being embarrassed; Kasey has no confidence so when Brandon shows an interest in him he thinks it will be a quick fling. Brandon seems to have a bit of a fetish of his own, he is attracted to men with fetishes and Kasey’s fetish is one that suits Brandon perfectly. Kasey finds himself amazed that he can open up so much to Brandon but the doubt lingers and Brandon puts Kasey’s fears to rest.

This is a great sexy little number that is amazingly hot and has two great characters. We get to know Kasey really well, the character development for him was wonderful and we watched as he began to gain confidence not just with Brandon but also his workmates as well. Brandon we don’t get to know quite as well, but well enough to know he is a perfect match for Kasey. Together they are hot and their relationship moves along smoothly, and for me the best thing was that they are still in the early stages and haven’t declared their love after such a short amount of time, it’s a beginning of a relationship that could develop into something much more solid and wonderful.

I recommend this to those who love hot men finding common ground, sparks flying, erotic hot sex, great character development and two men at the beginning of a hot sexy relationship.

Blurb: Anthony Hunter wonders what the hell he’s gotten himself into when he agrees to manage an unproven candidate’s campaign for governor of California. As soon as he meets the gorgeous, charismatic – and married – politician, attraction gives Anthony’s rock-solid professionalism a run for its money and Anthony knows he’s in way over his head.

Jesse Cameron doesn’t like the idea of putting himself out there as a happily married, wholesome candidate, but his retired senator uncle insists it’ll give him an edge over a challenging rival. The only problem is that Jesse’s marriage is over, existing only to maintain his heterosexual facade. Oh and there’s that minor detail about his undeniable attraction to his smoking hot campaign manager. Or the fact that the attraction is very, very mutual.

Before long, temptation explodes into a sizzling, secret relationship, but under the microscope of the media and the relentless scrutiny of the voting public, Anthony and Jesse can only keep their secret for so long. And this is one scandal a campaign won’t survive…

Review: Fast paced, smooth read with attention to detail and an engaging storyline.

Jesse Cameron has decided to run for governor of California, with the support of his loving wife Simone. His uncle calls on the expertise of his own former campaign manager, Anthony Hunter. Let’s take a step back here and address the fact that the Cameron family is a “Hot Mess!” Jesse’s uncle is a manipulative SOB; his father was an award-winning actor as is his wife Simone; his wife harbours a secret that Jesse is aware of and assists her in keeping secret; his brother is in an abusive relationship and Jesse himself is a closeted gay man. Enter Anthony who is not necessarily in the closet but doesn’t wave his rainbow flag either and we now have another element of secrecy in this story.

The attraction between Jesse and Anthony is immediate and electric and the two begin a secret love affair in random hotel rooms across the US along the campaign trail. But secrets like this can’t stay buried for long. Would Jesse’s supporters still support an out gay man?

There is so much going on in the pages of this book, and yet the flow remains constant and steady. There isn’t any one issue that is over stressed or under worked, Witt’s attention to detail for each character and each part of the story is easily conveyed. Even as Simone goes from supportive to vindictive and then comes back around, you can’t be upset with her, it just makes her come across as a flawed human being.

Warning, this is an M/M erotic novel with some Oh. My. God (!!) sexy, steamy love scenes! My Kindle screen would get steamed up every time Anthony and Jesse got some one on one time! Engrossing and sexy, you won’t be able to stop once you’ve started until you reach the end.

Reviewer: Lisa

Blurb: Imagine a cafe that caters to your every whim and secret fetish, run by hot young men eager to please. Would you go for it?

When, out of desperation, Bran Caspar takes a job in a women’s designer shoe store, little does he know he’s just entered a world of secret shoe fetishes and a string of cafes designed to cater to a man’s every whim and secret obsessions. It’s a world that turns out to be deadly but highly compelling, especially with a certain “maid” named Rick.

For Bran’s best friend, Finn, the prospect of a new business is a pleasant distraction from his horrible breakup with his lover, Waldo. And speaking of which, where is Waldo? Right inside the Fetish Cafe, looking for more than a cup of coffee.

Will these best friends find happiness at the end of their shift, or will they, too, become victims of The Fetish Cafe?

Review: Well, this one is different, to say the least. It is very funny but also a little bit nuts. It caught my attention from the start and kept to the end. However I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. I have heard of a lot of fetishes. However, I don’t think I have ever heard of it all in one spot. It starts with Bran needing a job, and with the help of his mother, he has one. At first, I thought it was just selling women shoes, and then it is of a guy wearing the shoes. Strange but you can get it. Then there is a murder and you think ok a bit strange but what can I say. However the first day of the job, your boss gets murdered, but before he dies he gives you his car, money and tells you to open up your own Fetish Cafe. Bran thinks the way I am thinking at first and then he is all for it.

Finn is his best friend and has been in love with Waldo, however Waldo takes off. They discuss the cafe and they are all in. After Bran had met Rick, he has wanted him. Rick is a little bit different. He was one of the men in a French maids outfit at a cafe his late boss had taken him to. After talking with Rick, they are all in.

Then they find themselves in danger and questions are asked. Lots of sex, strange ideas, and even stranger fantasies are in this book. It is amazing and very funny. Each one falls in love, however they realize that they can’t have their cake and eat it too. Neither wants the other being with other men, and in starting The Fetish Cafe, it is all about sex.

I laughed my ass off with this story however it left me with more questions than answers. I just can’t figure out how it moved so fast. One minute working, the next your boss is dead and you just open up a cafe and the dangers come after you. If you love a quirky comedy, hot sex, murder and quite a bit of death than you would love this story. I would recommend reading it because it will lift your spirits up. I just love the humorous way it was told.

Blurb: Dexter is a rent boy falling for his new client. Logan is a homicide cop falling for his rent boy. Now madly in love, Logan discovers Dexter is dangerously in thrall to a gangster whose clutches he can’t escape. When the gangster finds out about the two of them, he targets Dexter’s friend in revenge. The quickest answer is a safe house, but how long will it be safe?

Review: For those of you that have never read anything by Scarlet Blackwell, most of her stories a quite dark and Angsty, deal with at least one broken character usually both the hero and main Character are broken or have a dark past, and the story is very suspenseful, sometimes dealing with touchy subject. I absolutely love her books, because I do love Angsty stories and touchy subjects.

Kiss me is very dark and Angsty, and a real page-turner. Be sure you figure how long it will take you to read it and clear your schedule, because you won’t want to put it down. I was biting my nails until the last word. The story has lots of suspense and moves fast with several twists and turns, a couple I didn’t see coming. Wow! It is about a high-class rent boy (Dexter), a cop (Logan) that didn’t like being touched and had some issues from his past, and of course being a gay cop, and a mobster (Ivan) that becomes infatuated and possessive of the rent boy. The story is written in first person, which is one of my favourite styles, since to me it really delves deep into the character. This one was only in Dexter’s view and the unique thing I found was it was as if Dexter was actually telling us his story. Occasionally he would ask us a question, such as “You’re probably thinking at this point that I used someone else to make me feel better, that those nights spent in bars were spent picking up ass, spent taking money for cheap sex which would only make me feel worse. Well, you’d be wrong. Not this time.” I felt as if I were right there with Dexter through it all and trust me there was a lot to go through.

Speaking of characters, I found them all very well-developed. You could tell easily who was speaking, and doing what, since each has their own distinctive personality. I liked Dexter a lot, though I have to say he grew on me. Logan, I don’t think I ever really fell in love with him. There were so many times I wanted to slap the crap out of him, and Dexter both. Daron I did like and felt so sorry for him. Ivan the mob boss, now he was evil and I really disliked him (aren’t we supposed to dislike the villains though?)

I know I went on and on but I could keep going. It was an awesome story with lots of twists and turns, some real nail-biting moments, some very touching ones( be sure to have tissues handy) and some very hot sex.

I highly recommend this if you like Angsty stories, broken men, a love that doesn’t come easily, good friends, twists and turns, suspense and hot mansex( did I mention a cop in uniform and his nightstick*swoon*.

Blurb:What happens when a man begins too long for that which he fears the most?

Two young men are confined in a military academy that is more prison than school. Kendall believes he can only survive by avoiding meaningful contact with another human. Harris believes that contact means salvation. The two cross paths and are soon locked in a struggle only one of them can win.

Purchase Link: http://www.extasybooks.com/contact/

Review: I am not really sure how I felt about this story. It basically says how Kendall and Harris ended up in the academy but not really much about their lives. They are stuck in what comes off as hell. Kendall is a harsh young man who basically comes off as very hateful and not someone you would like at all. However if you read between the lies he comes off as sad and someone who needs love.

Harris might just be that someone. He is forced there because his family didn’t like the fact that he was gay. He is kind, compassionate, and gentle. He needs to feel love and wants to be touched, the exact opposite of Kendall.

I can’t stand the way Kendall forces Harris at first, but soon realizes that Harris actually seems to like the contact. The sex is fierce, hot, and kind of tormented. I am not really sure what to think but I do wish that this story had been longer in length, to show maybe what would happen if they had gotten caught, or what might happen if they leave there. I can understand Kendall being forced to stay there, but they seem to be over eighteen so how or why do they stay there. It left a lot of questions unanswered. It just left me hanging.

Blurb: Blake Davis and husband Will are delighted when Ed Fellows turns up at the hospital the night their daughter is born—even if he is covered in mud from playing rugby and drunk out of his skull. Teammate Colin is the Good Samaritan who drives him there, and when Colin takes Ed home, Colin finds himself on the receiving end of a blowjob. He has no problem with that whatsoever. He’s been in lust with Ed since Ed joined the rugby team some fourteen months ago. Only thing is, Colin’s assumed up until now that Ed is straight. Except the man sucking him off certainly didn’t seem straight….

Talk about the morning after the night before…. Ed awakens to find a nearly naked Colin asleep on his sofa. The problem is that for some reason, he can’t get Colin out of his mind. Okay, so it wasn’t the first blow-job Ed’s ever gotten from a guy—or given, for that matter—but that was a long time ago, right? And why does Ed now want more?

With friends Rick, Angelo, Blake and Will to advise him, Ed finds himself on a completely unfamiliar road, as he struggles to accept that maybe the line he is walking isn’t as straight as he’d first imagined….

Review: Ed Fellows has been Blake Davis’ best friend since school, and now he’s his right hand at the publishing company Blake runs. He’s watched his friend find love with Will, get married and start a family with the birth of their baby daughter, Sophie. As well, their co-worker and friend Rick found love with Angelo. Ed sometimes wonders if he’ll ever get his happily ever after, he’s yet to meet the right gal. Blake’s husband Will may have hit the nail on the head though when he suggested Ed try batting for his own team.

Colin plays Rugby with Ed and has been lusting after him since about five minutes after they met the first time. But Colin has resigned himself to quick glances in the shower after a match knowing full well that Ed is straight. Until he drives Ed home one drunken night and they share a mutual, oral release at Ed’s urging. Ed doesn’t want to think about the implications of what they did last night, but he can’t stop thinking about Colin. With Blake out of contact on paternity leave, Ed turns to Rick and Angelo for advice, and starts to realize that liking Colin isn’t such a bad thing after all.

Ed shocks Colin by calling him and asking him to meet for a drink. He shocks the hell out of him admitting that he’s attracted to him and asking him out on a date. But Ed still has issues with anyone else knowing and he almost screws it all up before it really gets started. And as if his personal turmoil wasn’t enough to deal with, Blake’s ex fiancé shows up at the office asking for a job.

This has become one of my favourite series. I love when an author can weave together the stories and lives of multiple characters, and keep the stories flowing and cohesive. Blake and Will, Rick and Angelo aren’t the focal point of this story, but we get to see where they are in their lives right now as well. And Blake and Angelo both drop a couple of bombshells on us there at the end. I’m excited to see where this series goes after those little morsels.

This is book 3 in a series that should be read in order to fully understand and appreciate all the characters and storylines. If you are a romantic at heart but you like a little meat behind your stories and some sexy, steamy guy on guy action, give KC Wells a go!

Seeing DOUBLE – Excerpt
Warning! Steam level – high

I’ve always been a bit of a hermit. I have close friends that I see every few weeks. I had an actual proper boyfriend, rather than just a hook-up, but that was over a decade ago. I’m quite the happy singleton. However, as I lay here with the weight of a man on top of me, a safe and protected feeling flowing through me, I briefly worry that I’ve missed out on years of this sensation. My blood’s pumping, carrying adrenaline and excitement around my veins as the heady mix of pheromones arouses my senses. Rav shifts his position, and I feel his lips on my neck. He’s as hard as I’ve felt him, and he’s sliding back and forth over my arse cheeks, grinding slowly as if to purposefully tease me. Every thrust forward pushes my hips into the soft mattress below, squeezing my own hardness against the bed sheets so I feel, once again, the wet and sticky patch that’s a sign of my sexual desire. He thrusts forward again, but this time his extremely hard cock catches against my hole, and I gasp out loud as pleasure rushes through my body. Rav seems to realise my intense enjoyment, for he pulls back and uses his hand to align his throbbing dick into the right position so that it’s pushing against me, tantalising me, with each forward gyration. I moan again as he reaches out and puts his arm around my throat gently; nothing aggressive, but just enough to give me an extra ripple of excitement. I can feel my cock dripping with anticipation as he continues to grind against me, my hole feeling wetter by the minute.

“You have to fuck me,” I groan quietly as I can’t bear the touch of his cock against me any longer. It’s not enough to have his throbbing head gliding slickly over my hole. I need it in me. I reach out to the bedside table where I’ve already got a couple of condoms out of their wrappers and ready to go. There’s nothing worse than being in ‘the moment’ and then having to spend a few desperate seconds fumbling with rubbers in a drawer. He doesn’t stop grinding as I’m pulling the protection towards him, and I momentarily dream of the day when I have a husband to thrust his bare dick deep inside me without any cause for alarm. Uhh, God. Just the thought of such a scenario sends a quiver through me and I moan again.

“You sure?” Rav whispers in my ear, though the speed at which he snatches up the condom makes me realise that his question is more etiquette than actual concern. If it was our first time, I probably wouldn’t fuck. Good fucking, for me anyway, requires a degree of comfort; something not normally found when sleeping with someone for the first time. But I’ve been with Rav twice before now and I’m more than ready to feel his beautiful brown cock pushing deep inside me.

Tams Review: 5 Hearts ♥♥♥♥♥

Short, Sexy and Steamy…. Wait for it… my three favourite colors!!

David is trying to juggle work, dating and being a rock for his two best friends in this third instalment of 52 First Dates. The opening scene for this episode will leave you breathless and sweating, it definitely starts out with a bang. Although David has already ruled Rav out as potential husband material, their chemistry is electric and I so look forward to their random romps throughout these episodes.

Trying to stay on task, David sets up his next date with an online hook-up, Matt. But meeting Matt is proving to be more of a challenge than David initially thought. Add to that a date that left him feeling hope that his little plan might actually bring him one step closer to his goal of finding a husband, only to have his dream snatched out from under him with an unexpected move. And then there are those pesky, sexy, twins that keep popping up on every street corner… Theo and Alex.

I absolutely love this series. With each new episode, Lusch builds a stronger connection between David and the reader. And David’s two best friends with their real life issues brings a reality to the storyline and ensures the plot won’t be all about the sex. So while there are some oh so sexy, spine tingling, toe curling scenes; there is content woven in as well.

Blind dates gone badly, bathroom hook-ups and two equally delicious and sexy men are leaving David, Seeing Double!

Cat’s Review: 4 Hearts ♥♥♥♥

In Seeing Double David has previously been on a few dates and is wearing down fast. It’s not as easy lining up actual dates as it is hookups and he is really having a blast with one of his hookups. He is also dealing with work, a friend that was recently mugged and one that is pregnant, and two very sexy Greek twins

I find these stories fast, easy to read, very hot and yet interesting also. We are taken on a trip through a man’s life while he juggles work, friends, dating and trying to find the one to settle down with, written in an interesting, humorous, hot and sexy way. I found this very easy to relate to and yet entertaining.

If you like stories that continue such as serials that are short, sweet, funny, interesting and very hot, searching for a life partner, Mediterranean men, teachers, Graphic designers, and Greek twins this is for you!

Blurb: Josh didn’t really want to go out for his birthday, but his friend Tony insisted. He can’t believe it when a hot guy hits on him and wants to go home with him!

Review: The Take it like a Man Anthology is all about men who are well endowed and the men who love them. This slice of erotica focuses on a former chubby child who’s grown into an accomplished attractive attorney who doesn’t quite see himself that way. He’s set up for a date on his birthday and ends up spending an erotic night with a man with his own set of hang-ups. While everyone assumes that men like to be large, sometimes being big can be an issue and Roy and Josh must navigate through their erotic night to see if there’s anything else left after that.

Realizing that he was set up, which he is vehemently against, Josh refuses to see Roy again, but calmer heads prevail and the two men meet again for another night of passion. Roy is big, buff and hot, but more importantly, he’s hot for Josh. What’s not to love?

This is a short story designed to get the motor running for all size queens. It does that in spades.

Blurb: Allen Jameson had it all—the perfect house, the perfect partner, the perfect life—until his partner, Gary, died suddenly, leaving him alone in the real world, where life isn’t so pretty and people make mistakes. Now Allen is the owner of Sweet ‘n’ Sassy Cupcake Shop, a cute boutique downtown, where he invents delicious flavors like strawberry and French meringue. Between working long hours and making special orders, Allen barely has time to think.

Then a hunky contractor walks into his shop looking for a treat. Allen and Byron Bannigan are total opposites, but they’re perfect together—salty and sweet like Allen’s signature peanut butter and chocolate ganache cupcakes. But as Allen struggles to juggle his business and his boyfriend, he learns he can only handle so much. He may have to choose between the cupcakes in his store and the cupcake in his bed.

Review: I found myself in love with this novel from the start. It was amazing, sexy, and dynamite. The more I read it, the more I loved it. I found myself like Allen—who remained insecure when things got bad. I found it great how the two of them remained together despite the faults they faced.

The characters were perfect. Three-dimensional in my eyes. As for the plot, solid. I loved it so much. I would highly recommend it.
