Flash and Bang

(Death and Destruction 02)
by

Patricia Logan

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.

Blurb: Forced to go into witness protection, ATF Special Agent Thayne Wolfe, is less than thrilled. The State’s Attorney needs him to testify against one of the most ruthless and notorious arms dealers in the world. Expecting boredom and lots of daytime television, he instead ends up with a ridiculous new job, a stupid new name, and the world’s most annoying shadow. Jarrett Evans, is nevertheless tasked with keeping Wolfe alive long enough to put Mills Lang and his crew away for the rest of their miserable lives. 

Jarrett Evans, former Marine, has always been a free spirit, doing the dirty work for Uncle Sam whenever and wherever he’s needed. One of the best snipers in the world, Evans is at peace with the man he’s become. That doesn’t mean he’s ever liked the cold-blooded killer who stares back at him from the mirror every day. The moment he meets pretty boy Thayne Wolfe, things start a slow change and redemption begins to sound possible. 

Mills Lang, the world’s most ruthless arms dealer, is little more than a serial killer in his own right. Rotting away in prison with nothing but time on his hands, Lang is determined to destroy the man he allowed into his inner circle. Thayne Wolfe will die in the most painful way… along with anyone he loves.

Reviewer: Shorty 

Review: I have quite a few books by this author and loved them all. This book was awesome from the start. We have two alpha males thrown together in a time of need to wipe evil out. We have heart stopping scenes, breath taking chemistry between the two that is a slow build up and not an insta love and suspense, action, and whole lot of drama. 

ATF Special Agent Thayne Wolfe has been undercover for two years and is so ready to take down Mills Lang, the world’s most ruthless arms dealer and his gang of thugs so he can move on with his life. While waiting to testify he learns there is a bounty on his head and he must go into the witness protection program to stay alive long enough to testify. 

The man in charge of his protection is ex-Marine Sniper and government agent turned Personal Security Specialist, Jarret Evans. I seriously wanted to be in the same room with these two sexy alpha males. 

I really liked the fact that just because they were attracted to one another that they acted on it straight away, in fact Thayne and Jarret did not like each other at first so they did not act on their feelings. I found the story to be riveting and highly addictive with its action, suspense, drama and two hot males. I am so looking forward to the next book in the series.

Loved it and highly recommend it.

Blurb: Heath is the popular new Dom at Invitation Only, Austin’s answer to BDSM club goers. The rancher turned Dom has an unsurpassed way with rope. As Red Tacoma, the club’s promoter thinks up new and exciting events for the club’s members, a sexy young drag queen approaches him and makes a suggestion to help the club break new ground.

Micah Turner, the neurotic young bartender at Invitation Only has only one thing on his mind these days, surviving his insanely jealous boyfriend Greg’s violent addiction. When he volunteers them to star in a new drag show at the club, all hell breaks loose and it’s up to the club’s sexy Doms to keep the queens in line.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Heath is book 3 of the Invitation Only series, I think you could read it without reading the others since there is good backstory drop, but I believe you would enjoy it better if you have read the other two.

Heath is a new Dom at Invitation only. He is immediately taken by the pretty bartender Micah. When Micah is brought in for his demonstration he is ecstatic, until he finds out that Micah isn’t into the BDSM scene.  When Heath finds out that Micah’s boyfriend is a druggie he sees his chance.

I really liked this story. My only issue is I felt it focused more on Micah than Heath.  I would have loved to have seen more scenes with Heath. Now having said that, I loved the drag show scenes and felt like I was there watching and loved Ricky, Mav and Mams.  There were a lot of characters in this story.

Though I love characters and all of these I think it was just too many for such a short story. I have to say Patricia Logan has a way of developing very intriguing characters, and writes some smoking hot sex scenes.

If you like sexy bartenders, hot cowboy Doms, BDSM, Drag Queens, knights in shining armour, and smoking hot man-sex this is definitely for you!

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Sexy ex-military bodyguards, a spoiled brat, traitors galore!
That is only a few things to expect in this super sexy, nail-biting suspense story. Clear some time. You won’t want to put it down.
Chaz doesn’t want a bodyguard when he arrives back home from college. After years of being away, he feels unwanted and is very defiant and rebellious. Ex- Marine Tate Heston has more than a handful with this young man.

But not all is as seen. Once Tate gets to know Chaz, he sees a brilliant, misunderstood, young man. Just as the things heat up for the two and Chaz is settled with Tate, the twists begin, and we are one wild rollercoaster of these twists and turns.

I loved this story. There are may characters involved, and the story will certainly keep yo o its toes. I will say there were so many views, that the way it kept changing from one to the other was a bit jarring at times, but once you figured out the speaker, it wasn’t so hard to follow, even though one speaker was a secret to the very end. We even get to see a few favorites from the first two books.

If you like sexy marines, bodyguards, mystery/suspense, millionaires, older men/younger men, and some hot man-sex, this is definitely for you.

Though this is a book three of a series, I think you can read it as a standalone though the other two are well worth the read!

(Hard Riders 01)
by

Patricia Logan

Wendell Blackowl has spent all his life in the working cow horse show ring where toiling with sweaty cowboys all day is the fodder for wet dreams. Though privately he’s come to terms with his sexuality, publicly Dell’s had to build a façade. When his beloved horse Buttermilk dies, Dell finds himself at loose ends so he decides to pick himself up by his boot straps and do what he’s always wanted to do… open an environmentally friendly organic vegetarian café.

Pace Avila, well known music critic, has been drawn to Austin by the live music scene. When friends invite him to check out a fresh new dinner experience, Pace reluctantly agrees to push the deadline on his national column. He isn’t interested in vegetarian food or a restaurant with the cheesy name of Buttermilk Ranch Café, but the moment Pace lays eyes on the stunning cowboy chef, things begin looking up. 

When openly gay Pace walks into his cafe and his life, Dell realizes he’s tired of living a lie and tired of being alone. When Mother Nature throws an unprecedented storm at Austin, the muddy waters threaten to wipe out everything Dell’s worked so hard to build. He soon realizes that with a man like Pace by his side, love really can conquer all.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Wendell Blackowl is ready for a new start in life. He has had a very good run on the working cow horse circuit but with the loss of his mare Buttermilk, he is ready to move on to his next dream. He is also tired of hiding his true self and if he could meet the right man he would have no problems coming out.

On the anniversary party of opening his dream restaurant, he meets Pace, the half-brother of one of his cowboy friends, Branch.
Pace is unlike any man he has ever met. He is flamboyant, confident and has no problem going after what he wants. What he wants is the sexy cowboy chef Branch introduced him.

First of all I need to warn you this story has lots of sex. Very explicit sex. If you are a fan of Patricia Logan as I am you already know this, if not be forewarned. Though I prefer tamer sexual content, sometimes you like to heat things up, and I know I can count on Patricia to do just that.

I love cowboys, and I love cooking so this blend was perfect for me. Make Dell Native American and Pace a dominant, flamboyant twink and you have a story made in heaven!

I will admit the story is a bit predictable but who cares. Sometimes predictable works, and it does here. There is some drama and near the end we get cameos from some characters from Invitation Only one of Patricia’s other series. I adored seeing Wade and Phoenix again as well as Maverick and Ricky.

I had only one small issue with the story. I felt their names were overused. It seems that Dell or Pace was in nearly every sentence, and it was a bit overwhelming other than that this story was amazing and one you didn’t want to put down once you started!
Buttermilk Ranch is a set-up for a new series, and I cannot wait for the next.

Blurb: Trask Jacobs has a past life that he’s desperate to forget. He’s been running from it for years and crossed the country to get away from it. Putting the past behind, he’s gone on to make a new life, obtaining a position as an executive chef at Invitation Only, and the hottest new BDSM club in Austin, Texas. All he wants to do is hide in the back of a kitchen and be left alone to find peace.

Valentine Kaporov is a gorgeous professional Dom at the club and the minute he’s hired, the Russian transplant becomes one of Invitation Only’s biggest draws. What no one knows it that Valentine has a horrific past and has lost the only one he’s ever loved. After a startling meeting with the club’s stunning chef, Valentine begins to wonder about putting his life back together. Will it be possible to lure the stunning chef out of the kitchen and into his own personal playroom and will Trask be able to resist the gorgeous stud who wants to once again put him on display?

Purchase Link: http://www.amazon.com/Trask-Invitation-Only-Book-2-ebook/dp/B00HAPMAJ2

Review: Trask is Book two in the Invitation only series. I would suggest you read these in order so you get the best understanding. Invitation Only seems to be a spin-off of some of the other of Patricia Logan’s series. I haven’t read the others, and I do like this series, but sometimes I wonder if I would have done better reading the other series first. There is enough backstory in the book that I do get a feel of the characters.

This book is supposed to about Trask. I will say I feel in love with both Trask and Valentine. This story has a lot of angst, and I loved that these two men found each other. Valentines story is sad and I wold love to have his story from the beginning. I guess that is my biggest issue with this book.

It is called Trask, so I expected to be mainly about Trask. However, we get sex scenes from Red and Stix, Wade and Phoenix and stuff going on in California with Zack. Now having said that I did like this entire story and if the book had been titled something broader, it wouldn’t have been so confusing for me. It just felt a little jumpy and disconnected since I was looking for connections to Trask

I do like this series and look forward to more. I f you like BDSM, Doms, sex-clubs, suspense, drama and lots of hot mansex this is for you.

Blurb: Red Tacoma, club promoter, is just about ready to blow the Detroit, Michigan, club scene and start over in Austin, Texas, the live music capital of America where his talents can be put to better use. After a nasty break up with a casual boyfriend, he decides the timing is perfect and heads south.

Red’s not a nice guy, though. In fact, he’s a jerk, and he takes pride in getting the job done and letting no one get in his way. Of course, some might call it arrogance, but Red doesn’t care what other people think, not even his boss at his new club gig.

Phoenix, a big bad Dom from Los Angeles, has agreed to move out to Westburg, Texas, with his husband Wade Rubashkin, and run Zachary Teak’s new BDSM club, Invitation Only. But getting a new club ready is always a challenge, one that is fraught with interesting problems, and as always with the Doms and subs of the new club, it is one filled with hilarity and smokin’ hot, sexy men.

Purchase Link: http://www.amazon.com/Red-Invitation-Only-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00GGQHH2Q

Review: This is the first book of the new Series Invitation only. It picks up with Zack opening a live BDSM club in Texas with Phoenix as his manager. It is a series on its own and works fine. This book catches us up well on the other characters, who they are and their roles in this book. I will say I haven’t read many of the other books and I did fine with this one. I will say I really think I need to read silver ties and meet some of these other hot, sexy guys though.

Though this is supposed to be Red’s story, I felt he didn’t get enough time. I would have really liked the story to have focused more on Red, though I see the need to introduce us to the others as well. I would have liked to know more of his past and I really thought he is an arrogant Ass. I am sure we haven’t seen the last of him though. All books need a troublemaker and I will say he has me hooked.

There are some very hot and sexy sex scenes both in and out of the club. There is even a kink scene of pony fetish.

For such a short book, this was very engaging. There was just so much going on I wish it had been split into perhaps one of just invitation only opening then more Red. That’s just my two cents. It was a very good story and I am eager to meet the rest of these sexy men and more Invitation only!

If you like sex clubs, BDSM, fetishes, pony play, intriguing men, and some really hot man-sex this is definitely for you.

The Superstar

(Bodyguards 01)
by

Patricia Logan

Storm Ellison is the sexiest man on two legs. The gorgeous young star of “Trapped on an Island”, the hottest reality show on television, is instantly recognizable the moment he leaves his palatial mansion. Paparazzi follow him everywhere, leaving him no peace or privacy, selling his pictures to the tabloids, and cementing his reputation in the press as a slutty gay playboy. As Storm prepares to sign his first major movie deal, his manager decides he needs protection. What he doesn’t expect, is to be attracted to the cold bastard who’s now running his life.

Balthazar Grant, freelance bodyguard, is a huge, handsome, rough and ready former Marine, trained by the best, and willing to step between Storm and anyone stupid enough to come at him. Always stoic and serious, Taz lends a deadly presence to Storm’s entourage whenever he ventures out in public. Storm doesn’t want a bodyguard, much less one who won’t let him live his fast and loose lifestyle with impunity and he’s certainly not one to be dictated to by an overconfident Marine who has opinions about everything including who he should hook-up with.

When a deadly threat hits Storm’s world, he’s suddenly living his own reality show, only this one has an outcome which doesn’t involve being voted off an island. Will Storm wake up before it’s too late and will Taz be able to fight his attraction to the handsome young superstar while trying to convince him he’s in very real danger? The pair will soon learn that reality is stranger than fiction.

The Slave's Mask by Patricia Logan

Title:  The Slave’s Mask

Series:   The Masquerade Trilogy 02

Reviewer’s note:  This trilogy is comprised of three stand alone novella.  I have labeled them in chronological order only for clarity.

Author:  Patricia Logan

Genre:   Historical – Civil War era, 1863

Length: Novella

Publisher:  Silver Publishing (February 3, 2012)

Heat Level:  Moderate – Explicit

Heart Rating:  ♥♥♥♥♥4 1/2Hearts

Blurb:  Infamous American blackguard and blockade runner, Captain Anthony Charles, has made a fortune in gold, running contraband between England and the Confederate States at the height of the Civil War in 1863. Anthony knows good brandy and fine cigars and his English clients appreciate him for it, but the captain also craves young submissive men. When he wins a young prostitute at an auction, Francois becomes his slave for seven days.

Francois has turned to prostitution to survive, but he is more than a whore. While most men who enjoy his favors treat him cruelly, he is stunned by this temporary owner’s kindness. Being a slave to this blue-eyed Master is no difficult task. Both men find that love may not be as elusive as they thought. Will the separation of oceans and time test their love or bring pain beyond bearing?

Product Link:  https://spsilverpublishing.com/product_book_info/new-release-c-1/the-slave-s-mask-ebook-p-731

Reviewer:   Portia

Review:  Anthony is a blockade runner, in London for only a short time.  He has a definite kink. He likes his lovers slender, young and submissive.  From the moment they meet, he knows that Francois will be perfect to satisfy his every sexual need.  Their first encounter was sexy and set the tone for the rest of the novella.  Anthony is the best kind of Dominant; forceful yet thoughtful.  Francois is fascinated with the sea-captain who masters his body without making him feel like the whore he is.

This is an excellent read, whether you are into BDSM or not.  There are different levels of bondage throughout the book, but it’s more about power and control than pain.  The Slave’s Mask is by far the steamiest of the Masquerade Trilogy.

But, it is also a beautiful love story.  Anthony does not even realize how lonely he is, until he meets Francois.  Francois has accepted his life in the brothel and has long ago given up hope of a better life.  What was supposed to be a week of carnal pleasure, morphs into so much more.

There were a few sections that I felt author rushed.  I would have liked to see more of the time while the men were apart.  But, that aside, I really enjoyed this book.  Highly recommend.

Come along for the sensual journey that awaits you, and get lost in this collection of must-have gay erotica. Let these stories steal you away to another world where hot men share their deepest hopes and fantasies with you, while they’re Chasing the Dream.

Racing raindrops by Sue Brown (56pgs) Hearts: ♥♥♥3 ½

Caught by an unexpected rain shower, Tony DiMarco seeks shelter in a bar. The last thing Tony expects is to be propositioned by the hot bartender and his equally hot cousin. Mac and Chase make it clear it’s his decision, but Tony is torn between his desires and his responsibilities. On a sudden whim he decides to let the raindrops sheeting down the window make the decision. If they go right he’ll say yes to a night of sex that might blow his world apart, if the rain goes left he’ll leave and never look back.

Review: Tony hides his sexuality because he knows what would happen if his father or his employer found out.  He meets Mac and Chase and they have him tempted to look for something more.

This is a cute read which is extremely hot, we see Tony battling with indecision as he tries to decide if he should take the two hunky men up on their offer.   and we see Chase and Mac want more than just one night with Tony. Not quite a HEA but a beginning …maybe?

*****

Nasty Boys by G.A. Hauser (78pgs) Hearts: ♥♥2 ½

Fire-fighter by day, sex god by night, ‘Clyde’ chased his dream in Hollywood to be the top gay male porn star in West Hollywood. What Clyde didn’t expect was a little help from a pretty-boy superstar. ‘Blaze’ lights this fireman’s world on fire!

Review: Clyde wants to fulfill his dreams of being a sex god porn star and ‘Blaze’ wants a night out with the hunky Clyde.

Clyde is not quite as tough and macho as he appears wanting a gentler lover and something more than a quick hook up; we feel his longing for more.   ‘Blaze’ also wants something different and he seems to find it in Clyde. The story cuts off a bit abruptly and is a novella for the Action series so I don’t know if we will see more of Clyde. This is good for a quick scorching sex fix.

*****
