Blurb: Noah Fiore, contracts attorney and dedicated curmudgeon, spends every Christmas with his family on the shore of Lake Superior. It’s practically tradition for his sister to invite a tragic tagalong to the festivities. But this year Kara’s guest is no pity case. Riley Coto is a friend, and his warmth and charm quickly win over the Fiore family.

When Riley overhears Noah complaining about Kara’s habit of bringing home strays for the holidays, he feels more than a little out of place. But Riley finds himself drawn to Noah. Something tells him there’s more to the man than the bad attitude he shows the world. With Christmas coming fast, Riley is falling for Noah, and there’s nothing simple about that.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Noah loves his family and spends time with them, even when he hates too.  That sounds a bit off, but once you get to know Noah, you will find out that he is pretty much a loner in life.  He will drop anything when his family needs him to, but he could also be happy sitting by himself.  That is until Riley shows up for the holidays.  If you want to know more, read the book.

This is a cute little story that has a lot of depth to it which is surprising since the story is short.  I had a lot of fun with it, and Riley was a dream come true.  I love how it was written and the meaning behind it. 

Amazing Christmas story that is going on my always read before Christmas list.

Length: Short Story (50pgs)

Publisher: Dreamspinner Press (August 10, 2016)

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥ 3 Hearts

Blurb: Kurt Trench loves running a successful auto repair shop with his twin sister Lena. Lately loyal customer Shane Dolan has been coming around more often, and Kurt assumes it’s because of his sister. While Kurt wouldn’t dream of coming between them, he can’t help being drawn to Shane himself…. Or thinking about him in ways he definitely shouldn’t.

One night everything changes. Kurt doesn’t reciprocate Shane’s kiss—he’s got no intention of stealing his sister’s man—but when he tells Lena what happened, she can’t believe how thick her brother is. She’s not the reason Shane’s been coming around the garage, and Kurt and Shane have more in common than a love of classic muscle cars. Now it’s on Kurt to make the next move, assuming he hasn’t blown his chance for good.

Reviewer: Lisa 

Review: This author’s work is quite new to me so I was not sure what to expect from it. So I have to tell you that I was quite pleased with it although I hate to say it but the blurb gave away most of the story to me. 

Kurt knows his cars and is damn good at his job. Kurt and his twin own an auto repair shop together. One of the customers however keeps coming in and Kurt takes notice. However it would seem he doesn’t know when a man is interested in him, here he thinks the man wants his sisters.

Basically the blurb gave the story away before you read it. There was no surprises in it at all. Boy likes boy, major miscommunication, bad gaydar and a crazy sister. It is what it is though, a cute little story. Most of the book is the guys running around and not talking about it. Assumptions are a man’s worst enemy it would seem. I hate to admit though; I was pretty bored with the story.

It had great potential and would have been a hit, if I had not known what was going to happen before I even started reading it.

Mythologically Torqued Vol II – Anthology Book Blast, Excerpt, Review & Giveaway!

Anthology - Mythologically Torqued Vol 02 960x350

Hi guys, we have Torquere Press and several of their authors stopping by today with their newest anthology release Mythologically Torqued Vol II, we have a great excerpt, a brilliant giveaway and Lisa’s review so enjoy the post and click that Rafflecopter link <3 ~Pixie~

Anthology - Mythologically Torqued Vol 02 1400

Mythologically Torqued, Volume II

by

Adrik Kemp, Alex Cohen, B.A. Tortuga, Corrine A. Silver, Darren Endymion, Drea Silvertooth, John Amory, Lazuli Jones, Logan Zachary, Lynn Townsend, Madeline Moore, Moxie Marcus, Natasja Hellenthal, Rhidian Brenig Jones, R.R. Jones, Veronica Sloane, and Yolande Kleinn

Mythology, whether classic or modern, has always taken readers on a magical ride. Mythologically Torqured, volume 2, takes those tales from days of old, or more recent history, and places a unique spin on the beloved lore.

The gods of Olympus make appearances, as do deities from Japanese, Native American, and other belief systems. With rampant sexual desires, these gods manage to slake their thirst for passions of the flesh in a rather untraditional manner… if the oral traditions passed down from generation-to-generation were at all accurate.

These eighteen stories are penned by both seasoned scribes and new authors; the anthology provides readers with the perfect opportunity to explore offerings from their favorite storytellers as well as find a new favorite or two. And, a unique perspective on the stories we enjoyed—or were forced down our throats at the hands of a sadistic English teacher or two—in our youth.

Containing M/M and F/F as well as Trans stories from authors Adrik Kemp, Alex Cohen, B.A. Tortuga, Corrine A. Silver, Darren Endymion, Drea Silvertooth, John Amory, Lazuli Jones, Logan Zachary, Lynn Townsend, Madeline Moore, Moxie Marcus, Natasja Hellenthal, Rhidian Brenig Jones, R.R. Jones, Veronica Sloane, and Yolande Kleinn, Mythologically Torqued, volume 2 is sure to have something for every penchant.
