Blurb: The clock is ticking! Blackmailed by Jake’s nemesis – the vengeful Pierre Perron – Professor Fathom’s team of five horny gay adventurers is sent on a seemingly impossible mission to uncover the legendary Riddle of the Sands in order to save one of their own from a rare and deadly poison.
But what is the Riddle of the Sands? Where are the long-lost clues and hidden maps that can lead to its whereabouts? Is it a myth, a mirage, or the greatest engineering feat in the history of ancient Egypt? From the icy plains of Siberia to the shadowy bathhouses of Cairo, from the scorching valley of the Nile to the heart of the Amazon jungle, readers join these hunks — treasure-hunter Jake, Brazilian biologist Eden, Texas cowboy Shane, art expert Luca, and quarterback Will — in a search that blends nonstop action and high-octane sex!.
Review: The professor and his team are back in this fast paced, action packed sequel. Lots of steamy action to be had as well. There is a lot going on as it was non stop from start to finish. I loved all the mystery and heart stopping moments that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
The mysteries were well written and engaging. The details of the scenes made me feel as though I was actually there witnessing the events as they unfolded. The characters all had roles to play and they did an amazing job at it.
Blurb: Somewhere in the world is a statue so sinful that a secret sect of the Church wants it destroyed at any cost. Somewhere in the Turkish desert, in the streets of London, and in the depths of Venice, are the clues to find it. And, somewhere in the hearts of five sexy, daring, thrill-seeking gay men, is the courage and die-hard determination to unravel one of the greatest mysteries of all time.
Meet Luca da Roma, an Italian model and expert in art, both ancient and modern; Dr. Eden Santiago, Brazilian biologist, physician and genetic engineer; Shane Houston, a Texas cowboy and an expert in cartography; Will Hunter, a San Diego college student and football star, majoring in ancient history; and Jake Stone, an adventurer-for-hire from New York and the newest member of Professor Fathom’s team of hot gay adventure seekers.
Together, they are Fathom’s Five, traveling the world, solving ancient mysteries, uncovering priceless treasures, and getting into hot, sticky and sexy situations, while thwarting danger at every turn! From Venice to Vienna, from Tuscany to Turkey, from the South Pacific to the seas off Sicily, join in the heroic adventures, hunky sex and hot, high-octane action of Fathom’s Five.
Review: Wow, this book was a fantastic read. It felt similar to the Indiana Jones movies. Action packed adventure and suspense with some very skilled sexy men. This book travels all over the world as the characters are treasure hunters. The different cities were breathtaking. The sex was hot and steamy though there wasn’t a lot of it.
The characters are Luca de Roma, an Italian model, Dr. Eden Santiago, Brazilian Biologist, Shane Houston, cowboy, Will Hunter, college student, Jake Stone, adventurer. These guys were amazing and had me wishing I was with them as the traveled.
I really liked that each of the five were introduced and that their skills and background were included. The characters seemed to come alive as the story progressed leaving the reader wanting more and more. You will be holding your breath, gasping, and sitting on the edge of your seat throughout.
Can’t wait to see what happens next. Simply an amazing book that definitely should be read. I loved it.

Karen Botha
Recovered from a life-threatening accident, Kyle Beaumont is a powerhouse who is eager to show Elliott Judd just how far he can push his hotter than ever physique. Their physical and emotional exploits are driven to a depth neither has ever experienced with anyone else.
As a racing driver superstar, Elliott loves handling power, and he’s geared up for taking everything Kyle throws his way. In fact, he craves it. But, when the past smashes into their lives, is the couple prepared to handle possibly devastating disruptions?
Set in a world of fast cars, intense love, and a burning desire to win at all costs, this is a love story brimming with unbridled lust. Join Elliott and Kyle as they race their demons to the finish line in hopes of taking home the ultimate prize-their undying love.
Blurb: Both books in W.S. Long’s best-selling Love and Mystery series are now available together in one box set! Contains the stories:
Love and Murder — Jake Chandler is a struggling small-town Florida lawyer, and his life is falling apart. His ex-wife makes seeing his daughter difficult, his boyfriend Noah may be cheating on him, and his money woes are growing. Jake hopes that a new murder defense case will help with his money woes, but his ex-wife Elena is the prosecutor. It’s bad enough she has to fight with him over custody of their daughter. Now she wants nothing more than to beat him in the courtroom, too.
And then people around him start dying.
First, an ex-lover gets his brains blown out while he and Jake have coffee. The danger comes even closer. Then Jake meets handsome FBI agent Xavier, who is investigating the crimes surrounding him. Can Jake trust this new man in his life? Is Xavier who he says he is? Or does his involvement put Jake and those he loves in even more danger?
Love and Pain — After their too-thrilling courtship that included capturing his former lover’s killer, Jake Chandler has started a new life for himself with FBI agent Xavier. Living together is wonderful, but moving to Washington D.C. has resulted in temporary jobs that don’t last long. When Jake finally lucks out on a too-good-to-be-true position with a big law firm, Xavier suspects Jake’s new boss is crooked.
With some sleuthing, snooping, and close calls, Jake gets deeper into trouble at work, and conflicts with Xavier make his world start to crumble. When a key witness is shot to death in front of Jake, they both begin to realize how high the stakes are. Can Jake and Xavier get through these threats and find happiness with each other?
Jake is a small town lawyer with his own firm. He’s in a relationship with Noah, the man he cheated on his ex with. There is a lot of bringing up the past with his his ex wife and ex lovers coming into the picture from time to time. I wondered if Jake actually knew how to be faithful to anyone. A murder has Frank hiring him to represent him in a murder trial. This case was wild with two other murders happening a long the way. Twists and turns abound as the killer or killers are tracked down as well as Jake meeting a new love interest that turns out to be someone he knows but doesn’t remember at first. I was disappointed we never found out who killed Hannah.
Love and Pain:
This book takes place a year after book one. Xavier, the FBI agent from book one, and Jake have moved in together and are trying to make a go of things. Between Jake not coming to grips with certain aspects of his past and Xavier keeping things from Jake the two have some disagreements from time to time. A job opportunity presents itself to Jake that may not be what it seems and the past comes back to haunt Jake.
I honestly enjoyed both these stories. There was no shortage of action, drama and suspense that seemed to follow Jake at all turns. Danger is around every corner and even the heroes are injured from time to time. The things that kept me from loving the first book was all the cheating that was brought up. It was obvious to me that Jake was never ready to commit to all those other relationships so it confused me as to why he married Elena and committed to the others. The second and most upsetting thing for me was all the sentences with missing words or words that were added that did not need to be there. This made for constantly having to reread sentences to understand what the story was trying to say at times. Not to mention Jake’s name was used when it should have been Xavier’s.

Meik & Sebastian – Obsessed 2
(Meik&Sebastian Obsessed 02)
by
Quin Perin
Ever since the first sexual encounter with Sebastian, Meik has felt off-kilter.
He can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t work without thinking about the musician and so, Meik decides to settle into an arrangement with him. There is no love. There is no romance. Sebastian gets a warm place to sleep, and Meik gets to keep his boy toy.
The perfect bargain.
But when Sebastian’s presence triggers memories of his first and only love, Meik unravels under the reminiscences that carved him into the man he is today. Will Meik be able to hold himself together or will his carefully crafted badass image fall apart?
This is the second book of the Gay Erotic Romance “Obsessed”. It features explicit adult m/m content as well as romantic elements. The book ends on a cliffhanger.
Blurb: Daniel Brown is a man of routine. You might even call him a control freak. So when the new Director of Marketing, Ryan Cole, starts shaking up Daniel’s routine, Daniel doesn’t know how to react. He finds Ryan intriguing, infuriating and oh so attractive, but he doesn’t mix business with pleasure. As their games start to grow kinkier, dare Daniel give in to his desire to let Ryan top him?
Review: Daniel has a schedule that he keeps and is very religious about it. However it would seem the new guy at work is wanting to change his mind, with donuts at first. Ryan wants to shake Daniel up and bring him over to the dark side.
This story was so slow that I ended up skimming most of it which is bad since it is a short story. I couldn’t even focus on the book because I was so bored. This book is a prelude of what is to come in the next book. It is well written but didn’t catch my attention like it should. It does give you quite abit for being such a short story which was surprising.
I hate to admit that this is not a book for me but will see what book two looks like. Not a fan of the third person dialog and definitely not a fan of books where the same characters are always the main characters. They always seem to loose something in the end.

Blurb: When past and future cross over in a hidden dimension, decisions need to be made.
Up and coming fashion designer John Sanderson can’t pass on the dream commission of designing the attire of the entire wedding party of a wealthy client. The catch is that he must stay at their isolated country estate for the duration of the project, even when things start to become strange.
Samuel has been waiting a long time for John’s return. He lost him a long time ago when an angry man cast him out of this dimension on a whim. Now he has the chance to make things right and claim what is his.
Caught between the past and the future, John finds himself straddling two dimensions and faced with a decision. Will Samuel’s love for John be enough to keep him safe no matter what he decides?
Review: This was a strange yet interesting read. John is suddenly thrust into a weird sense of time as he takes a job that will take a month to complete. All the while there are certain elements that come into play that leave reader wondering what is going on, what is real, what is in the past.
Samuel I could never figure out exactly what he was. The description given did not help much either. So I was at a loss as to what he was. But, I still adored the two of them. It seemed that every time the two came together something or someone was trying to tear them apart.
Loved the details, mystery and characters in this story. So far I have only read two books in this series and neither are connected.
Blurb: Some men like gentle loving—others like to switch up the power. In P.A. Friday’s collection of stories, explore the raunchier, edgier side of lust—a space where domination and control can be the greatest turn-on.
From Stefan finding out the hard way just how straight he isn’t, Jake who has to learn to behave or take his punishment, to Kel juggling two very different lovers at his workplace, doing what you’re told has never been sexier.
Review: What I thought was a short story turned out to be 3 very short stories. The problem was they were not really stories, just some hot sex scenes.
Pretty Little Straight Boys
Rufus came out to his friends that he was gay but what he had not told anyone was how he wanted Stefan. One of his best friends but the man was straight, or so he thought. One hot night of drinking leads them all into a game of hide and seek. The one found had to forfeit something, but when Stefan was found it turned out to be something else.
For such a very short story, the author did a good job of making it seem just a bit longer. It was not really my taste, but it was a bit hot.
Making Amends
Jake is in trouble with his master and he needs to be punished. Alessandro has one major rule for him to behave. The problem was Jake like his punishment just a bit much. Except maybe this punishment might just be a bit to much. Just give him to Leo.
No real story here but it was still pretty hot. Just a bit of kink to go with the day I suppose. However it was really just to much for me. I think giving your boy to another is degrading and gross in my eyes. Especially if you know your boy doesn’t like the other man. It was a complete turnoff for me.
Office Politics
Kel has two sexy lovers at his work place and liked to be bossed around a bit. Dean and Peter who would have thought.
Just a bit to much for me. Sounded a bit violent and I don’t much care for the way they were treating one another, although it was still hot I suppose. Kel has two lovers who don’t know about each other. He is a dominant and a submissive, basically a switch. Dean is a violent dom, where as Peter is a complete submissive. To me two lovers who don’t know about the other is cheating, and the book dropped completely.
Overall
I really need to pay attention to blurbs on books. I came close to liking the first book, but the other two books were complete flops. I don’t like cheating and I can’t stand a man giving away his boy to a gross man whom the boy doesn’t like. So all in all, total degradation in my eyes. The first book has a chance of being turned into a complete story, but the other two were just porn to me. I am afraid this book will go straight to the discard pile. Definitely not a book for me.
Kenneth and Thorn have infiltrated a noble’s mansion as part of their mission as Enforcers. They hope to discover more about the Iris, a group of mages who threaten to overthrow their government and abuse those without magic to do it.
What they discover at the mansion of one of the oldest and richest noble mage families is more than just promises of wealth. They will have to stay hidden and fight past twisted mind magic in order to discover the Iris’ true goals. But if they’re too late, the Iris will claim even more victims.
Review: A dangerous mission leads to even more questions when Kenneth and Thorn are sent to uncover Iris plans. What they find is a lot more than they could have ever imagined. It was imperative for them to learn everything they could while at the same time keeping under wraps and staying alive.
I loved this story. Mystery, a group with ulterior motives that will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Amazing scenes that take the breathe away. A great addition to the series.
Blurb: For Sean Wright, driving a cab in the tiny Navy town of Anchor Point isn’t an exciting job . . . until he picks up just-dumped Paul Richards. A drive turns into a walk on the pier, which turns into the hottest hookup Sean’s had in ages.
After a long overdue breakup, Paul can’t believe his luck. Of all the drivers, he’s picked up by the gorgeous, gay, and very willing Sean. Younger guys aren’t usually his thing, but Paul can’t resist.
One taste and neither man can get enough . . . right up until they realize that Paul is Sean’s father’s commanding officer and the last man Sean should be involved with.
With two careers on the line, their only option is to back off. It’s not easy, though; the sex and the emotional connection are exactly what both men have been craving for a long time. But Paul has devoted twenty-four years to his career and his dream of making admiral. If he’s caught with Sean, that’s all over. He has to choose—stay the course, or trade it all for the man who drove off with his heart.
Review: I have had the pleasure of reading several stories by this author and when I came across this, I knew I wanted to read it. If you have ever been in the military or been a dependent many of the things in this are familiar. My dad was an Army man who had done a couple of tour in Vietnam, but I really can’t remember most of that since I was a very small child. My dad retired when I was in the third grade, so I didn’t have to change schools that much. But after reading this story, I can tell you that I am probably very lucky.
This story caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. The characters were perfect for the story and I have to tell you that Sean’s dad was a hoot. Most of the guys I knew that were military are old school military so I could imagine how they would react to the fact that their son was gay to begin with. Sean’s dad was perfect in so much as he was very accepting, didn’t blink an eye and basically said I knew you were gay when you were six. It was a blast to hear that part. I also know how families can be destroyed also by the military as in marriages. It would be hard for many to be separated from their spouses for so long. Also, the fact that someone who wanted to go further and then to give it up, would probably be a hard choice also. So I was not ready for this story in a way, just waiting to see what would happen.
Sean’s father divorced his mother when he was just fourteen, but basically lived with his dad from that point on. He changed schools and lost friends over the years, but now was the true test. He picked up a man who just broke up with another, and the sparks flew. He had no clue who Paul really was, until he mentioned his father was stationed at the same base. Paul was his commanding officer and now the hard choices had to be made.
Paul had ended another relationship because of his career. To meet and slowly fall for a younger man was a surprise. Then he found out who he was with, or should I say he realized Sean’s father was under him in the military. He had wanted to fly and that ended with a crash, now he wanted to be admiral, but he had to make the choice. Would he give it up for love or would he continue his career. Not to mention Sean’s fathers input into this, well you will just have to wait and see what happens.
I have never really been a fan of long books that are drawn out to the point of my losing sight, but this book made it easier. I do admit that I kind of skimmed over some parts of it, but not because I was bored with it. I just don’t do very well with long ass stories. However just a few pages was all it was, because as soon as I got to a page, well damn I had to go back to those other pages. This book was entertaining and very enticing. I always did love a man in uniform.
Now the craving Sean part was a bit over used and even though the sex was hot, it was rocked with the knowledge of what could happen if someone found out just didn’t work well for me. I mean let’s face it these guys were meant to be together. It just was a bit too much for me in the story. Brought me down a bit, however the author picked it right back up to give me a happy ending.
This is one story that I had a blast with and cannot wait for the next book to come out. I can guarantee that you will get a kick out of this book.
Blurb: They say that more than a mouthful is a waste, but sometimes, a mouthful can kill.
Andrew has had the time of his life at GRL. He even got to meet his idol, but as a result of his outrageous flirting, he’s late leaving the event.
Unfamiliar with the roads of Colorado, Andrew takes a shortcut towards Thornton, following the directions of a sign onto a long dusty road. But the night has other plans for Andrew, and as his car breaks down on an isolated hill, he’s haunted by a terrifying voice.
Do it for Robin, the ghostly voice chants, but as a cute stranger comes to his rescue and lends him a helping hand, Andrew gets more than he bargained for.
Review: An amazing horror story that sends shivers through you at the climax of the book. I was stunned speechless at this brilliantly written short. Andrew waited to long to leave a convention. He is traveling to Thornton inn when he starts having car trouble, hearing a voice whispering t him and meets a cute guy on the side of the road.
I honestly would not have done what he had. My first thought would have been what is this young man doing out here in the middle of the night all alone in the darkness. The story takes on a terrifying tone as the revelations come to light when he actually makes it to the inn.
Blurb: The year is 1806. Bastard-born jewel thief David Lambert has few rules in his personal life. Never bed the staff, never more than once with the same man, and never, ever, kiss. Attending an aristocratic party and relieving some of the wealthy of their possessions should be easy, but in the space of a weekend, one by one all his rules are shattered by a footman with a secret.
Jeremy Naylor thought he had found the man of his dreams, the one man who might understand him. Someone passionate, handsome, and respectable. But in one shocking moment his world is destroyed, and he is forced to run for his life.
Flung together to escape the hangman’s noose, the passion between David and Jeremy burns fiercely. But Jeremy yearns for respectability, and David refuses to admit what lies in his heart. Will they find a way together, or will their differences lead them to the very brink of disaster and the shadow of the gallows?
Review: While I’m not a fan of historical romances by themselves this one has an added element of mystery and thriller which delighted me from the moment it came about. Jeremy and David meet at a party and the sparks fly. Despite their different stations they gravitate towards one another while at the same time struggling with the circumstances they find themselves thrust into.
I loved how the mystery played out and the ‘who done it’. Wonderful thriller with plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader wanting more. I certainly did. I do not want to give away the story so I won’t go into details about anything.
The time period was described so accurately I felt as though I was there witnessing the events taking place as they happened. This is a great story with romance, that was sweet and hot at times, with drama, mystery and self discovery.

Sink or Swim
(Anchor Point 08)
by
L.A. Witt
When need meets fear, can two very different men find common ground?
Alhazar Bukhari spent his Navy career in the closet. Now he’s retired, divorced, and hungry for the love he’s never had a chance to experience. He tries to put his faith in Allah to bring the right man into his life, but it’s hard to be patient after all this time.
Chaplain Dylan Pedersen spends his days counseling Sailors, and his nights with men he doesn’t know. Months after finally escaping an abusive relationship, he’s terrified of anything more than a physical connection. Maybe it’s a sin, but he’s too lonely to not let men into his bed, and too scared to let them into his heart.
When Alhazar’s civilian job brings him aboard the USS Fort Stevens, and his daily prayers bring him into Dylan’s chapel, the chemistry is instantaneous. Sex and friendship quickly evolve into more, but Dylan’s too haunted by his recent past to be the man Alhazar wants. Alhazar needs love, Dylan needs time, and if they can’t find some sort of balance, they’ll sink before they ever have a chance to swim.
Blurb: Heartbroken after another sub had cheated on him, Kent “Wicked” Fields had decided to give up on finding that one sub to build a future with. He should have known fate would screw with him the first time he hooked up with a sub and not let him ignore the sweet heat that could be found in the cute little waiter.
Adam “Butsy” Butts found himself once more tossed away like yesterday’s garbage by the new bouncer. What he didn’t understand was why. Maybe his ex was right, and Butsy was bad in bed. If only he could forget what it felt like to be held by the man of his dreams. It would be difficult, but Butsy feared it was time to face facts. He was meant to be alone.
But happily ever after would be around the corner if Syn has anything to say about it.
Warning: Wicked Deeds abounds when Syn becomes involved.
Review:Each book in the Syn’s Playground collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. This is a branch off of the Cedar Falls collection.
When I read book one in the Cedar Falls collection, I knew right then that Shea Balik was going to be one of my top favorite author of all time. The worlds she creates are unique, fresh, tempting, sexy and damn hot. I love how the characters in this one each have a past that is a bit painful, but they seem to never give up in the end.
This story caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. I never was one who liked reading about BDSM, but for some reason this author just writes about it in a way that captivates me. Very tasteful and tantilizing is the words I would use I suppose.
Adam was just wanting to make sure he never had to move back home. He was making just enough to pay his rent and maybe eat throughout the week. He was a waiter at Syn’s Playground and actually enjoyed it. He didn’t have the best luck with guys, but damn if the bouncer didn’t do it for him.
Wicked had came close to claiming his sub and even possibly thinking marriage. That is until he walked in on him getting spanked by another Dom. From that point on he decided to never take a sub for more than one night. That is until he sees Adam. Although with his head up his ass, it will take their friends to get his head on right.
I had a blast reading this and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. Butsy or Adam which is his real name, is probably one of my favorite characters of all time. He is just so damn cute. I would definitely be reading this book more than once. Way to go Shea Balik.
