Casey can tell Seth is his anamchara, but the blood clogs Seth’s scent seeking, and rejects Casey, because Roman is his mate. Shifters don’t get two mates.... do they? Sexy men, prime and fit, who each wants desperately to find their mates, but nature can’t be wrong, can it. Hotness times three, a rescue and battle, with an HFN and more to come. Enjoy !

Older/younger M/M romance, serious with lots of heart ! Screaming Scarlett, 14 mos. old, was the reason Justin met Del. Justin, 19, lanky and lean, came home [image] because his Mom died from an overdose, and he needed to make sure his sibling didn't go to foster care. We have Harper, 6, Wyatt, 4, and Scarlett. The O'Dwyer name has a bad reputation in the small town, with some of them in jail. Justin had seen the light at the next house, took the kids there, and collapsed. Chef Del, nearly 40, a tall broad man with dark hair, [image] silver sprinkled throughout the beard and ponytail, saved their dilemma and got Scarlett to the hospital.
From then on, Del was eager to help. Justin needed so much with the kids and himself, like a funeral, job, sitter, school, etc.. It seemed never ending, but little by little it came together. Del was a godsend in their lives. Del had an ex, and Justin had never even kissed anyone. They are attracted, but other things were too important for now. Slowly they get some kisses and then hot sexy times, first every thing for eager Justin. Meanwhile it was survival time.
Just when things were running smoothly, Uncle Steve is out of jail and he's a real creep. It's a rough time for Justin especially. When Justin is alone and in in danger, what will happen? [image]
I liked this unusual story, the deep characters, the kids were also important, and the histories are sad, but the hope is bright for the future.
The epilogue - a super surprise - twelve years later. ENJOY !

They are so opposite ! One thing they do have in common is running, so that comes in handy. Aaron is sassy, sexy, out-and-proud, with eyeliner and lip gloss.

Matt struggles more than necessary with his feelings, because once he admits them, he is free. These guys are so different, but click together like Legos. Wonderful family and friends, an interesting story line that flows well and keeps our attention, [image] plus their sex is sizzling hot. Wow !
[image] After he screws up, Matt has a plan to prove to Aaron he is serious and "in love". Highly recommend this beautiful story of proof that two opposites CAN attract. This tale stands alone in the series. ENJOY !!!!

It's a marvelous, sweet yet raw, interlude of two very different men, in looks and standing. * Christoffer, 37, is a renowned builder, a big "bear" [image] who has been alone. He sees a young mesmerizing dancer at Marcus and Liam's party. * Adam, 22, is magical and mystical in his dance motions [image] and holds Christoffer's attention. As they move forward, each man's insecurities and pasts, tell them that they don't deserve the perfection they've found in each other. After a taste of the bliss these men experience, is it hopeless to think it may last? You will learn that answer.
This is a beautifully written tale of delights and wicked pleasures, needed by each man, given freely and mutually satisfying. This is the second of "The Other Books."
Highly recommended. ENJOY !

Now they are resting in Dillon's Idaho place, including time with [image] the Bassett hounds, Pansy and Jerome.
Coke has a secret past [image] that Dillon want to find out. Coke has no family, just his rodeo friends, family that he's chosen, and Dillon [image] has a need to know more.
We see them talk, have hot sexy times, hot tubs and happiness to their cores. There are interactions with each place they visit, helping friends, with the kids, too, the dogs and chores. Of course there was teasing Coke about being "gramps" or "old," but at thirty-three in rodeo's world, that is considered old.
Some plans are made for training Jase to ride bulls while he's blind, and then some babies are born. It's a busy time, and then it's time to go home for together time, before they have to get back on the rodeo circuit.
[image]
Dillon says something that makes Coke see red and he runs. Dillon pursues and finds him holed up in bayou country. It's a conversation a long time coming, and the tale is told. Coke feared the truth would send Dillon to the hills, and away from him for good, that Dillon might not love him anymore. The love is too deep and strong to rustle Dillon. He's even more determined to hold on to Coke and be solid and steady.
It was good to see our men happy, settled and stronger than ever. ENJOY !

This past year they have enjoyed living together and their love just gets better and better. In this episode, Salvador is ordered to take on [image] an undercover sting in their department, to find out who the "leak" is at the station. In the beginning, Sal isn't allowed to tell Lany what he's doing, and it's killing Sal to not be honest with Lany. When Lany is attacked twice [image]
Sal has had enough of the complicated case. It's such a twisted web. I love Stormy Glenn's characters and her well written, twisty turning plots. We get to see our men re-ignite their passion, with super hot sexiness, lots of Italian mushy talk.... and renewed dedication to each other. The case is a messy one, and the story is wonderful. I always look forward to more from this author. ENJOY ! ===============

In the first book, Valor On The Move, we saw "Valor," 21, the president's son kidnapped and rescued by Shane, 39, Secret Service Agent. After that episode the men quit fighting their anticipation. [image] ***We pick up here in Australia, outside of Sydney, where Rafa/Valor, 22, and Shane, 40, live, love, are safe, and very happy. We see their hot sexiness and blissful daily life together, but also their inner struggles from the past. Rafa's un-accepting parents are coming to visit; they hate Shane and want Rafa to come home. Arguments come with their visit, and that causes Rafa's self doubt and low self esteem come back. Shane has been ordered back to D.C. for questioning in the kidnapping plot, but his trip is a set up.
Once back, the remaining visit is tense and conflict-filled. When trouble arises on a sight-seeing trip, it's Shane, with Rafa's help that saves everyone, almost.
After the rescue and all are recovering, Rafa's Mom finally says something nice. [image]
This is a lovely older/younger romance with deep feelings, hot lovin' and an engaging story.
We are happy for the men, and the future is looking hopeful. Highly recommend this two book set. ENJOY !

Beautiful bears...regular bears, cubs, Daddys, leather, polar, muscle, panda, black, pocket, ginger, grizzly, etc. Woof. [image]
All of these short stories give us a chance to sample new writers. Fun. Informative. Sexy.
Truck Stop - Post WWII, Cleve owns a diner and Sully is a stranded trucker, each looking for comfort on a winter's stormy night.
* Bear Chaser - In Australia, Neil's new neighbors are big, burly, bears who restore race cars. Skinny, nerdy, Neil is fascinated by his new friends, and Brett really does it for him.
Life's Tiny Surprises - Mac is a big bear, school teacher. On his lonely birthday, he goes to a restaurant and his tiny waiter hits on him, and has been crushing on him for years.
Bear King of Snowbird Mountain - Jeremy is in town for his landscaping seminar, and meets Donald, a hunky bear who comes to his room, and Jeremy discovers Don's a werebear. [image]
Just Breathe - On Valentine's night, Will had to take a sleep study test. Our bear may need a CPAP machine to help him breathe better while asleep. When the sleep tech came in, Les, a bald, bearded, graying Daddy bear in scrubs, Will is smiling. After the study they head to the diner for breakfast, then bed at Les's.
* Barefoot - When Finn, a tall, rugby player, Ginger, is always buying discounted food, Sam, the cute, short, grocery guy thinks he's homeless. In reality, Finn manages the homeless shelter, and the confusion leads to more. [image]

Banyon Court - In Hawaii, teacher Dan, and Hank, a Marine surfing instructor meet. Lots of historical event descriptions, ceremonial rites, and dance interpretation are the main focus of this pair. More spiritual in their heritage. I had to look up SO many words, and there was unusual language, details of history, cultural references galore. I admit I was lost in it.
The Bear and the Bar - A "freaky Friday" fairy tale. After an altercation at a bar, Dex was mean to a bear, a chubby guy, Dex wakes up balding, fat, and in a strange house. Lesson learned. [image]

Bryce is pursuing him and are moving along great until there is a misunderstanding, when Rob's long, lost son arrives. Bryce sees them hug and thinks Rob is cheating.

The Bear Fetish - Tall, mustached, big beefy Louis, meets suit and tie, Robert, who's a closeted corporate lawyer in town for a merger. Robert wanders into a bar and finds artist, Louis. They hit it off and go to Louis's place for a memorable night !
* Do-It-Yourself Guide To Getting Over Yourself - Bill, reeling from a break-up, goes to Palm Springs for July 4th, where he meets a graying bear at the pool, Arthur. After great conversation they retire for the evening. * another favorite.
* Hunting Bear: A Fairy Tale with a very hairy ending - A fairy tale of the Great White Bear hunt. Tyler the Twink is hunting Mike the construction worker, the coveted Great White Bear. But Tyler finds out what he really wants is right under his nose, his best friend. Imaginative, * fun short story ! [image] ======================== ENJOY !

This is riveting, important, heart wrenching, heartwarming, fascinating, emotional, caring, tough, evil, and full of suspense. A story that will last in your memory, as will Pavle. A reminder that innocence is lost, bad things happen; but justice must prevail. It must. We have angst, decisions, danger, and feelings to consider. Pavle manages his own escape. They need security for an important witness who'll testify against human traffickers. Pavle is a small Serbian, 22, [image] who was kidnapped four years ago. There's a leak and a new Sheriff, that are making the handling of the case tough. Attacks at the safe houses where Pavle stays are a big problem. So, Chris, @30, a hunky Deputy in Carlisle, [image] makes a plan with Briggs and Marie, to take a leave of absence, but guard and care for Pavle in secret at Chis's home. Chris is basically undercover while they await the trial. Marvelous characters including Nanna as well.
Pavle draws amazing sketches and gives them to the FBI. He's so strong, smart and kind. Chris and Pavle are finding their ways to keep busy; to help Pavle navigate his freedom and new way of life. He's no longer in a tiny room with a window nailed shut.
There are many talks, explanations, revelations and tender comfort. We see the sweet moments of attraction, and later sexy times for this couple. We see the lethal precision of the good cops, plus we witness the injury and terrific ending and epilogue, with lessons learned along the way. [image]
Super interesting and well written, with just the right amount of angst, comfort, and suspense. Once again, Andrew Grey has given us a remarkable story.
I highly recommend it ! ENJOY !

Matt, 22, the black sheep of a wealthy family, a Hockey player, he's bi and vers, blue eyes, muscles and an athletic body. S Entertaining and fun ! #8
Matt, 22, the black sheep of a wealthy family, a Hockey player, he's bi and vers, blue eyes, muscles and an athletic body. Slater, 41, an Irish Royal, the Duke of Kilshire, with an accent, 6'6", green eyes and brown hair, with a big muscled body, and a beard.
Matt is in New Orleans begging his brother for a place on his Hockey team. Matt is failing in life, but is about to find a connection that turns his life around. Looking at the wallet he found, he decides to return it. Slater thought Matt looked beaten and in despair. He'll help him, if he lets him.
Matt is on board for something good to happen. His Dad died two weeks ago and his Mom is awful. His brother Rider is tired of helping and Harlan is a lost cause, so Matt is alone in a harsh world. Slater and Matt have some things in common, and truly need each other. They fit.
Both know Matt must return to Canada and figure out what comes next. During the time apart, six months, each man thinks of the other non-stop.
Then, Slater shows up and their reunion is perfect and layered with so much more.
This is un-put-down-able !
Their sexy time is fabulous, and each man is incredibly happy. The men get what they need, which makes Matt a stronger, more solid guy. Slater was fantastic and both thrived in the other's arms.

After 17 years together, Greg passes away, and Greg's ex and two of the children contest the will. The daughter, Jeana, comforts Jonathon and gifts him with a trip. Jonathon, a school teacher for 19 years, about 45, and Greg, 62, traveled the world and loved their life. Now, Jonathon will be going somewhere he's never been, Vienna, for a two month summer break. [image] There he meets a family and Fabian, 30ish, tall, dark, and handsome, is a sweet man. There is sightseeing, and exploring, plus a drama about a local rent boy, who gets stabbed on their street. Jonathon jumps in to help, and we see Jonathon's huge, caring heart, and learn Jonathon's past circumstances when he was younger.
We get a slow burn, emotions, and deal with the homophobic grandmother. There's a trip to the opera, lovely walks, and beautiful sights to see in Vienna, and of course dancing to the Vienna waltz. [image] As the relationship changes, we see tenderness, caring and some sexy time.
Jonathon helps the cops with the rent boy case, and time is running out; he'll need to go home to teach. What will our men do? Their talks are steady and down to earth. These older men aren't gushy or mushy, but their feelings feel true. [image]
The epilogue is wonderful and heartwarming, plus a real surprise, and we get to see Greg's kids recieve a gift to them from Jonathon.
An amazing low key story of Jonathon, who gets to love two amazing men. ENJOY !

Love at Campo Royale Club ! Trigger: stalking and violence.
Duri, 30, a Korean man, (on cover), [image] drag queen with a lovely voice, loves Anime, ha Love at Campo Royale Club ! Trigger: stalking and violence.
Duri, 30, a Korean man, (on cover), [image] drag queen with a lovely voice, loves Anime, has a large Korean family, and he's feeling down and wants true love. Keaton Black Bird, 35, [image] Native American Indian, is a former Secret Serviceman, 6'6", 210, a muscled hunk, owns a Security business, speaks fluent Korean, and adores the Asian drag queen who sings beautifully.
We begin at the Campo Royale Club, GiGi/Eli, married to Tyr, the Hockey player, is being threatened. We revisit "Mother" and the Campo cast of queens, who hire security to keep Eli safe until the bad guy, stalker, named the Birdman, is finally found.
I noticed the mystery right away, and was looking forward to this story. Keaton and Duri are starry-eyed for each other on sight. They flirt, and Keaton meets the family.
Things change when GiGi and Duri are invited to compete in Seattle contest across the country. Keaton must be diligent and protect GiGi/Eli, and will also get time to spend with the beautiful Asian man.
Duri hasn't known a single man that has ever treated him as special as Keaton does. Duri's self esteem is low, but slowly, Keaton proves his sincerity with words and deeds. Their sexiness is exciting and passion-filled, with deep caring, which Duri has never had before. [image] They watch Anime together, have similar tastes in movies and music. The trip itself was not calm, they are busy, and find that the "Birdman" has followed them.
After the contest, they are home, worn out and Keaton gets both men home safely, or so he thought... but one of the ladies finds out they are not alone!
This is exciting, fast paced, romantic, scary, and heartwarming.
