Early Cover Reveal for

Make You Mine by Ann Lister

Book 3 in the Rock God Series

Cover Models

Trent Owers and Luke Shayler

Aren’t they super hot!!!

Cooper Rand is the high-energy drummer for his band Ivory Tower. Everyone is drawn to Cooper; which makes him the go-to party guy for those lucky enough to call him friend. He loves the lifestyle that comes along with being a rock star and feels perfectly suited for the role. He is also a professional when it comes to the hook-up, unwilling to stick around long enough to allow emotions to enter into what he’s doing. He’s lived his entire life ‘in the moment’ and it isn’t until he meets Jayson that he begins to question the direction of his life and if he’s been missing out on something truly special all this time.

Jayson Keller has spent most of his life living on the island of Martha’s Vineyard working as a builder. Living on a small, conservative island also has Jayson working overtime to keep his sexual orientation secret. He has mastered the art of hiding in the closet, but he doesn’t want it to be a forever thing. Jayson always said if the right man came along he’d happily leave the safety of his closet and live openly as a gay man. The problem is, living where he does limits his partner options and finding someone worth coming out of that closet for seems an unlikely prospect.

A party at Alex Metcalf’s island estate brings Cooper and Jayson face-to-face. Lightning strikes hot and fast and suddenly their lives take a whole new path. Has Jayson finally met a man worth leaving his self-imposed closet? Have a couple of hours spent alone with Jayson opened Cooper to the idea there is a deeper meaning to life beyond the stage and the value of a committed relationship? But, a bigoted family and the rock star lifestyle could ruin everything and keep both men searching for what was standing right in front of them: a soul mate.

Review of Payce’s Passion by Piper Kay-reviewed by Val

April 15, 2014 by Denise

“I
meant every word, Braxton. I do love you. That has never changed, and
honestly I don’t think it ever will, not for me. I never learned how to
quit you.”

I absolutely loved this book .
The beginning starts off basically where A Perfect Passion left off . We get to hear from Damien and Dax, as well as Damien’s crazy ex-boyfriend, Aaron.
Damien calls in Payce to help him find Aaron who has been stalking both him and Dax. We meet Payce, who initially seems to be this hard well structured guy but once he is asked to help search for Aaron, things take a turn and we see a different side of Payce .
Payce is led to Braxton’s Tavern and Grill which happens to be owned by Braxton, the one man who Payce has never been able to get out of his heart .
This story shows how two people, who have not had any contact for over seven years due to unfortunate situations, connect and try to trust and start over again .
I have to say the scenes between Payce and Braxton are scorching and quite passionate. You have to read this to get the full effect of how things work out .
We meet other characters also that will have you laughing hard. We meet the firecracker, Serge, (nicknamed Sparky), through Payce and also Braxton’s right hand man Ash.
I enjoyed this story so much. I was very anxious for it and Piper did not disappoint.

I gave this 5 pieces of eye candy and would highly recommend it.

“You
were always the one, you know? The one I love right this minute, and
the one I have loved every single day for the last seven years, Payce.”

“So were you, Brax.”

Brax lowers to kiss
me. “Good, don’t ever stop. Now that we’re done with all the girly sap
shit, get over hear and fuck me blind, Payce.” He starts to laugh and
rolls off me.

“Where did all that come from, Christ.” “Shit! No idea, Oh f**k, Brax, that was all you causing that. I’ve never hurt so damn good baby.” I lick my bottom lip.

Denise’s Favorite “A Perfect Passion” Quote:
I glance across the hallway, harmless. Dax walks out with a towel around him, and drops it to the floor. He’s naked as a jaybird. Holy mother of HAWT!…His ass is tight like a fucking Gladiator, and the way he just dangles in the wind…whew!

Teaser #1:

“Why don’t you quit talking, Payce, and make yourself useful?” Brax raises an eyebrow at me.
“Hmmm…who’s being cocky now?” I curl my hand around his dick and yank him to me. “Like this?” I give him a grin and tighten my grip.
“No, like this.” He spins me back and slams me against the wall behind me. He buries his tongue inside my mouth, quickly swirling around mine then pulls out.
I laugh. “Fucking tease.” I tug him tighter, and quicker.

Random Comment by Denise: Oh my GAWD!!! SO HOT!!!!

Teaser #2: 

“Confident, I like that. And what exactly is it that you want from me, Brax?” He tugs me tighter.

“You yelling my name as you come,” he whispers, then licks at my lobe,  growling in my ear.

“Mmmm…you taste so fucking good.” Brax groans into my mouth.

 And because we all love the romance wrapped up in these HOT books we read…. 

Teaser #3:

“My God, you’re addictive, Brax.” I lean over, kissing each eyelids. “I can’t seem to get enough of you,” I moan as our mouths meet and we kiss.
“I hope you never do.” Both hands reach up to my face and his long fingers trace along both cheeks then to my chin. “I always knew where my heart belonged, Payce.”

Book Review: My Big Fat Southern Gay Wedding (A Southern Thing) by Sara York by ~D~

April 4, 2014 by Denise

My Big Fat Southern Gay Wedding cover

I can’t really do this review, without doing a review of the
entire series. There are three books in
the series: Pray the Gay Away, Sending Jack Off to Jesus and My Big Fat Southern
Gay Wedding. These books occur in
succession, and they are not standalone, you will need to read them in order.

Pray the Gay Away begins with Jack and Andrew meeting and
Jack instantly falling in love with Andrew.
Andrew is sure Jack is messing with him, but Jack sees through
Andrew. He can see that Andrew is slowly
starving to death, and Jack does everything to change that. Both young men (they are both eighteen at the
start of the series) are closeted, because in the deep South you cannot be a
young gay men without a lot of danger.
Jack working hard to protect himself, as well as Andrew and his little
brother Billy (who you will LOVE!).

These boys quickly fall in love, and it is truly so
beautiful to watch. They rarely get any
time together, but when they do, they make the most of it. Sneaking touches or kisses when they can, yet
not letting anyone know about each other.
Jack continues to save Andrew in so many ways, and works hard on the
football field to make sure that he can make a life for them both once they
leave high school.

Jack glanced around the parking lot before
he turned his deep blue eyes on Andrew, stealing his heart and leaving him
breathless. “Will you be my boyfriend?”

The end of PTGA is hard to read. To know that people who have raised a child
would treat that child in such a manner that they are scared to be themselves
in front of that parent is just sickening, but realistic. Ms. York does a fantastic job of not letting
the reader get complacent with this love story.
As in the real world, outside forces always are lurking to potentially cause
issues, and these young men have plenty in spades.

Pray the Gay Away cover

Personally, this was a tough book to read. It hit me deeply with the level of child
abuse, and I had to step away from it several times to recover emotionally.

Book 2, Sending Jack Off to Jesus is the hardest of the
three books to read, in my opinion. To
watch these young men go through as much as they did, be torn apart and left
bleeding emotionally was just so tough to read.
They loved each other so much, and yet people felt they had the right to
interfere. I was so very angry, and
found myself yelling at my kindle things like “why couldn’t Jack do…” or “how
could that happen to Andrew without…” To
me those are signs of a good book. If I
find myself trying to give characters advice, that normally bodes well for the
level of writing. These characters are
real.

“You’re going to do what I say. New Life will
fix you. You’ll do what they tell you to do and you’ll be normal. No more of
this gay shit. You understand?”

I will not give spoilers. However, I will say that at the
end of SJOTJ, your heart will literally break into a million pieces, mine
certainly did. You can only pray that
Ms. York will put it back again in Book 3.
(And I will admit that I might have sent Sara York a message or two
begging her to at least tell me there was an HEA, and the comeuppance would be
happening to the appropriate people.)

Sending Jack Off to Jesus cover

My Big Fat Gay Southern Wedding, is the end of the
trilogy. It opens with your heart still
broken, and continuing to break. I got
the book in the evening, and immediately started it. I wouldn’t put it down until I got to a
certain point (when you read it, you will know what that point is—Thanksgiving.) I also cried for about the first 30% of the
book. These young men, age 19 at this
point, had already gone through so much, and didn’t have each other to lean on
when their worlds were falling apart.
The way they return to each others’ lives is probably the most
heartbreaking of all. The pain and
suffering these men, and many young gay men in society today, went through to
find their way back to one another is a lesson in itself. Both in the love that they shared above all
else, as well as how close one can come to losing it all and never knowing it.

“You’re the special thing in my life. I don’t
need anything else. I could live anywhere, do anything as long as I have you”.

If I had one thing I would have liked to see was a bit more
of their life in Book 3. It seemed a
little rushed as it seemed to cover a large time span in the second half, and I
would have liked just a little more of Jack and Andrew…but that may be me being
selfish. J

Although there was not a lot of humor to be had in this
series, there were some great spots of humor for me: Billy; the underwear; and the
Gospel boys (their name, not their actions).
It did help to dispel the emotional upheaval that was so prevalent
through their story.

“My underwe-you’re really going to keep it.”
“For a while, I’ll give it back to you in a couple of weeks…maybe.”

You will find yourself very quickly begging for Billy to
have his own story (and I might have heard that was a possibility now!) and
dying for the HEA. Ms. York does a fantastic job of writing Jack and Andrew to
their HEA. They deserved it, they worked
for it.

Please read the series, and remember that acceptance can
easily be given, but when it is taken away, so much is taken with it. I am in awe of how Ms. York was able to
convey so much struggle in everyday life for these boys, and yet they were able
to still love unconditionally. It was an
amazing ride, and I definitely will re-read once the book hangover has faded.

Oh, and did you see those covers? They are amazing! Well done, Sara!!!

Probably my favorite quote:

“Yeah, but they didn’t win. They were on the side of hate and hate always
loses in the end.”

I cannot do anything but give this entire series 5 pieces of
eye candy.

Book Review: Double Alchemy by Susan Mac Nicol

April 1, 2014 by Denise

I will start this review by admitting that I was a bit hesitant to read Double Alchemy. I have only read one other paranormal book,
and it was far more comedy than paranormal.
I enjoyed it, but it did not instill a love of paranormal. However, because it was Susan Mac Nicol, I knew this was a must read. In fact, I had previously hesitated on a few of her books, for no real reason other than my own fears! Susan writes so deeply and with such intensity that sometimes the book description has scared me off a little, although after reading them, I have no idea why. That being said, I have read all of her M/M books now, and after finally reading Saving Alexander, I said that I would no
longer hesitate, and immediately bought Double Alchemy. As always, Susan did not disappoint.

This story is about Cade, an anthropologist, who happens upon Quinn, the Warlock King, in the woods.
Quinn immediately knows that Cade is his soulmate, but he also has Sprite in him, making them irresistible to each other. Their attraction is immediate, animalistic, and HOT!!!! When these two men come together, sparks fly.

“Cade’s head swam and he had no idea how he
suddenly ended up totally naked, his clothes in puddles at his feet, with Quinn
busy stripping down with demonic speed…Fuck, the man must have big feet. I don’t know how that’s ever going to fit
inside me.”

I absolutely loved these Cade and Quinn together. Although Quinn was the Grand Master, Warlock
King, and full of magyck, Cade would not let him get away with even the
slightest things. Cade saw Quinn as the
human, with faults and annoying habits, and loved him anyway. Cade was never nervous about telling Quinn
where to put those bad habits, either, no matter who was around. And they were able to enjoy each other, have
fun and laugh together.

“’Hell, Cade, you are trouble. I knew that the minute I saw you in the woods
that day.’ Cade’s mouth curved in a sexy smile and Quinn’s cock pushed against
his zipper. ‘That’s trouble with a capital T, girlfriend,’ Cade camped up.”

Quinn, on the other hand, although a true Alpha male, adored
Cade, and would do anything for him, even risking his life to save Cade. They were great opposites who fit together
perfectly like two halves of a whole.

One of the things that I enjoyed about this book was the
action. There was a lot going on, and
things kept brewing up, would be settled, then more would come up. However, my concern with paranormal has
always been that I wouldn’t quite understand what was happening (okay, that
might have been just my own fear) but Susan made sure that the reader
understood all the magyck as the men worked through all their trials and
tribulations. There were so many layers to this book, and yet Susan made it possible to not only follow along but kept you wondering as to what else could come up!

Although, there is not a cliffhanger, there were definitely
enough unanswered questions that I can smell a Warlock King and Fey Sprite
Volume 2 ahead. And I, for one, can’t
wait! (I might have seen a posting somewhere that the “Climax” is in edits. Woo Hoo!)

If I had one thing that I would say on the other side, it
would be that there were a few errors in the book that perhaps should have been caught during editing, but not
enough to take away from the heart of the story.

For my first true paranormal book, it was really a great
adventure. For a Susan Mac Nicol, it was
another amazing book. It was full of
lots of undeniable love, hot sex scenes, action and interesting secondary
characters (I am sure there is more to Marco than appears initially!).

I am giving this book a solid 4.9 pieces of eye candy.
