Single Malt
(Agents Irish & Whiskey 01)
by
Layla Reyne
Eight months after the car crash that changed everything, FBI agent Aidan Talley is back at work. New department, new case and a new partner. Smart, athletic and handsome, Jameson Walker is twelve years his junior. Even if Aidan was ready to move on—and he’s not—Jamie is off-limits.
Jamie’s lusted after Aidan for three years, and the chance to work with San Francisco’s top agent directly is too good to pass up. Aidan is prickly—to put it mildly—but a growing cyber threat soon proves Jamie’s skills invaluable.
Jamie’s talents paint a target on his back, and Aidan is determined to protect him. But with hack after hack threatening a high-security bio-containment facility, time is running out to thwart a deadly terrorist attack. They’ll have to filter out distractions, on the case and in their partnership, to identify the real enemy, solve the case and save thousands of lives, including their own.
Blurb: If running from a hit man wasn’t scary enough, ATF agent Thayne Wolfe, has a new challenge in his life and this one may be even more dangerous than the last. He has to figure out how to work with his reckless new partner, a handsome former Marine who seems to have a death wish.
Jarrett Evans never stays in one place very long and being chained to a desk doing paperwork is not his idea of entertainment. His lover and new partner at the ATF seems to find ways to throw a monkey wrench into all his fun, especially when Thayne wants to curtail his need to jump off ten story buildings.
When their boss sends them to San Diego to investigate a fireworks accident, he figures Jarrett can’t hurt anyone playing with sparkers, not even himself. The fact is, danger, intrigue and Jarrett’s dubious past seem to follow the men wherever they go.
From a Marine base at the Mexican border to an explosion in LA’s Chinatown, they aren’t prepared for a seriously pissed off militia, a smoking hot ex-lover, and more guys who want them dead.
The sparks will fly in and out of the bedroom in Flash and Bang.
(Flash and Bang contains an exciting excerpt from book 3, Slip and Slide)
Review: This is the second book in the Death and Destruction series and man is it just as good as the first book. Thayne and Jarrett are sent to San Diego to investigate a fireworks incident. What starts as a small investigation turns into a thrill ride as things are not as they appear.
You have an old enemy still around as well as a new group introduced into the mix. There is so much going on that there is never a dull moment in this wonderfully written story. Thayne and Jarrett heat up the pages with their intensity for each other.
I truly love Patricia Logan’s stories. They are well thought out in a way that draw you in and don’t let go until the end. Action, suspense, drama, romance and mystery are throughout this book.
You won’t be disappointed when you read this story. I highly recommend this fantastic story that is outstanding and breath-taking.

Undercover Boyfriend
(One Fine Day 01 / Dreamspun Desire 12)
by
Jacob Z. Flores
Two men, one lie, and a whole bunch of trouble.
Marty Valdez is in serious trouble. His sister’s wedding is around the corner, and everyone expects to meet Marty’s super-successful underwear model boyfriend—whom Marty invented. Now Marty has to produce a half-naked hottie or suffer the worst humiliation of his life.
FBI agent Luke Myers is in serious trouble. He’s been working undercover to take down a dangerous drug cartel, but his cover’s blown and he needs to disappear. Luckily, a geeky yet intriguing comic book artist gives him the perfect opportunity. Luke just has to pretend to be his boyfriend, and pretending is what he does best. But between Marty’s mother and his ex, Luke might’ve bitten off more than he can chew, and Marty’s knack for finding trouble might ruin more than just his sister’s wedding.
Blurb: Two-time ex-con Camden Sanders has decided that Hog Mountain—an isolated community on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia—is the perfect place to continue running small scams without the threat of more prison time.
But there are a few problems with this plan. One is the neighborly citizens of Hog Mountain thwarting his dirty dealings at every turn with their kindness. Another is Jackson Rhodes, a closeted Hog Mountain police officer who can see right through Cam’s good ol’ boy act and plans to catch him red-handed despite the attraction they both can feel.
But the biggest problem of all is that Cam’s past is threatening to catch up with him, and it could mean trouble for more than just himself.
Review: This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I have to say I was somewhat pleasantly surprised. I think what drew me in the most are the unique, but well written main characters and the storytelling itself. This book was funny at times, but it also had a good dose of feelings and some facts of life that were hard to swallow.
Camden Sanders is a con man. Moving to Hog Mountain, an isolated and small community in Georgia, allows him to continue to run his scams while avoiding any more prison time. Cam is also on the run from a nefarious individual he associated with during his worst years. He knows that if he’s found he’ll be in great danger.
Taking advantage of the trusting people of Hog Mountain is what Cam does, and his auto-repair business allows him to scam his clients without raising suspicion. I have to say I laughed out loud at the things Cam came up with, as well as at his thoughts about the people living in Hog Mountain.
Police officer Jackson Rhodes knows all about Cam’s past and pays attention to his current business. Cam and Jackson are so different from each other. They might as well be from different planets. While Cam only cares about himself, Jackson is always worried about others and is looking out for them.
I loved the small, but close-knit community and how people helped each other when in need. What broke my heart were those dirt-poor kids who had a bastard of a father and not enough food in the house. No child that young should ever have to endure that and it’s not fair to have to work themselves in order to afford new school clothes.
But I loved how spending time with Luanne, Galen and Tony changed Cam. And how the goodness of people made him feel remorse and guilt for stealing from them.
Jackson is gay, but closeted. He doesn’t think coming out would be received with open arms in a community that’s so religious and not populated with too many open-minded people. His attraction towards Cam is something he wishes he could ignore. But the more time he spends with Cam and gets to know the person behind the crimes, the closer they get.
I wish there was more page time for Jackson and Cam as a couple. I feel like we got a glimpse of what should have been but we never got to see the full picture.
There were a few things that were extremely hard to believe and were worthy of some pretty serious eye-rolling. Harold (the person Cam is running from) comes looking for Cam and all kinds of weird stuff happens. Like the (unbelievable) fighting scene towards the end. The chase around town from house to house. The weird and questionable training of police officers. There were plenty of WTF moments that I had to re-read over a few times to make sure I’m not missing some vital parts that would make sense of the whole thing.
Also, this book is written mostly from Cam and Jackson’s POVs with the (weird and creepy) exception of the ONE time we get Grant’s POV. Grant is the town vet, and he’s a gay man who’s married to a woman, but loves nothing more than to worship the dick of any man who’s willing to shove it in his mouth. Why did we need Grant’s POV??? All he did was creepily stared at the men who were playing ball and act like a jealous bitch when girls showed up. Really, what was the point? It didn’t make any sense at all!
Overall Snakes Among Sweet Flowers was a book with great potential, which lost its shine along the way. * I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review through http://mmgoodbookreviews.wordpress.com *

Vinnie Delarosa and Ethan Thorne are partners—on and off the clock. Federal undercover detectives, they’re part of a covert task force designed to promote goodwill between the feds and local authorities. They lend an unobtrusive helping hand wherever it’s needed. No credit required.
Vinnie and Ethan work primarily in the Southeast region of the United States and live together in Richmond, Virginia. A mugger problem brings them to Roanoke, where Vinnie is thrown out as bait to catch the man who’s been snatching purses in a city park, but they end up with more than they bargained for. Why is Vinnie always the one who has to wear the dress? Ethan says it’s because Vinnie looks much prettier in a skirt. How can he argue with that?
Expecting to return to Richmond afterward, Vinnie and Ethan find themselves assigned a new case instead. They are to go undercover at The Stroll, one of the biggest gay nightclubs in Roanoke. Someone is terrorizing both the customers and the performers. Could they be dealing with a hate crime? Someone has to protect the drag queens of Roanoke, so it’s Vinnie and Ethan to the rescue!

The Art of Hero Worship
by
Mia Kerick
Trembling on the floor, pressed beneath a row of seats in a dark theater, college freshman Jason Tripp listens to the terrifying sound of gunshots, as an unknown shooter moves methodically through the theater, randomly murdering men, women, and children attending a student performance of Hamlet. Junior Liam Norcross drapes his massive body on top of Jason, sheltering the younger man from the deathly hail of bullets, risking his life willingly and maybe even eagerly.
As a result of the shared horror, an extraordinary bond forms between the two young men, which causes discomfort for family and friends, as well as for Jason and Liam, themselves. And added to the challenge of two previously “straight” men falling into a same-sex love, are the complications that arise from the abundance of secrets Liam holds with regard to a past family tragedy. The fledgling passion between the men seems bound to fade away into the darkness from which it emerged.
Jason, however, is inexplicably called to rescue his hero in return, by delving into Liam’s shady past and uncovering the mystery that compels the older man to act as the college town’s selfless savior.
The Art of Hero Worship takes the reader on a voyage from the dark and chilling chaos that accompanies a mass shooting to the thrill of an unexpected and sensual romance.

Searching for Shelter
(Sin City Uniforms 06)
by
Morticia Knight
Teen shelter volunteer Rich searches for love until Diego, from LVMPD Search and Rescue, finds him.
After declaring his love life officially dead, Rich wonders if maybe he should stick with his shifter book boyfriends instead. It’s not as if he has much free time to date anyway. Between working long hours at a coffee shop, guarding his sodas from his hygienically challenged roommates, and running the programming at the Vegas LGBTQ teen shelter he founded – how could there ever be space for love in his life?
Diego Espinoza enjoys taking his downtime from working Search and Rescue, at the Lucky Cup coffee shop. He can set up his laptop, peruse good sport climbing spots and observe the blond barista he’s been pining over for a while. He imagines that the pretty boy has more offers than he knows what to do with, so it takes Diego time to work up the nerve to approach him.
Rich isn’t so sure about the rough looking Diego – even if he’s always thought he was hot – but once he decides to gives Diego a chance, there’s an immediate heat and connection that takes him by surprise. As they learn more about each other and try to find the way to a future together, strange and scary things start to happen.
It isn’t until Rich is injured in a bizarre accident that it becomes clear that there’s someone out there who not only doesn’t want Rich to find love – they want him dead.
