  • Speechless (Pier 70 #3) by Nicole Edwards

    Speechless is how this book will make you. I suffer from depression, so I can totally relate to what Teague goes through.  This book really touched me because of that.  I also like that Hudson isn’t perfect either.  His muteness added to the story in that it made Teague giving in to learning to sign, that much more meaningful.   A beautiful story written with heart.
    He’s suffering in silence…

    Teague Carter, one of the four owners of Pier 70 Marina, has spent his life feeling rejected. To the point that he has never allowed himself to get close to anyone. He prefers it that way, in fact. But he refuses to believe that his destructive behavior might be something more than rebellion.

    He’s unable to speak…

    Hudson Ballard, Pier 70’s mechanic, has been fighting his attraction to Teague for years. He has stood by and watched the kid get more and more out of control, but this time is the last. If Teague wants to use sex to escape his problems, Hudson is certainly willing to be the one to show him that he’s good with more than just his hands.

    Sometimes words aren’t necessary.

    There are fireworks when this out-of-control bad boy agrees to no strings with this tatted up, dominating mechanic.

    Can Teague and Hudson keep their emotions from getting involved in their arrangement? Or — thanks to the demons from their pasts — will the darkness steal from them before they have a chance?

    We invite you join the Nicole & Colt Edwards Group on Facebook. Don’t miss out on the fun and prizes at the Speechless Release Party happening Monday, June 7th starting at 8 AM CST till Tuesday, June 8th at 10 PM CST.

    Speechless Excerpt #2 © Nicole Edwards 2016
    Teague was exhausted.
    He had hardly slept last night, and it only had a little to do with the fact that Hudson had summoned him over so he could watch him masturbate (which, by the way, was hot as fuck). No, after that, when Teague had gone back to his apartment and attempted to sleep, he continued to think about Hudson. The man had captured his every thought and all of his dreams. He had tossed and turned, waking up with his dick in his hand because he was so turned on it fucking hurt.
    So, suffice it to say, he needed a nap, but he had agreed to help out with some of the appointments today. And that’s how he found himself sitting behind the wheel on the boat while a group of girls flirted it up with a group of guys on the pontoon they’d rented for the afternoon.
    He was actually used to this type of outing. He’d even had women ask for him specifically, though he doubted they knew he was gay. Not surprising, since he didn’t bother to tell them. What was the fun in that? He’d never so much as touched a woman in his life, and he had no desire to do so, either.
    From the time he was old enough to figure out what his dick was intended for, Teague knew he wasn’t interested in boobs and pussy. Nope. It’d always been dick for him.
    He’d experimented early on, topping a couple of times, but quickly learned that he preferred to be fucked, to be taken hard and fast, drilled into… Bottoming was certainly what he wanted. The whole top thing … required too much control, and that was one thing he lacked. Even he knew that.
    And women … they didn’t have the parts that would please him.
    But he could definitely flirt when necessary because it was good for business.
    His phone buzzed in his pocket, and he retrieved it while making sure no one was around him. After Hudson’s text last night, he had no idea what the guy might send over, and he damn sure didn’t want anyone else to see it. Still, he remembered the commanding message for him to come over and watch. At first, he’d thought it had been some sort of test. Without hesitating, he had gone over and… Holy fuck. If he’d been concerned about whether or not it had been wise to accept Hudson’s proposal, he was no longer worried. The guy was hung like a fucking horse, and he was dominating when it came to sex. No way could Teague go wrong there.
    You cool?
    The message was from Hudson, and it was the first time he’d heard from him today, so it made him smile. Hudson was checking on him.
    Not that he would put too much thought into that.
    Yep. All good. You?
    I’d be better if you were in the shop today.
    Teague’s mind conjured up a million ideas about what they could do if he was in Hudson’s tiny little office, or even out in the shop.
    Figuring it was his turn to tease a little, he responded with: And what would you do if I was?
    What would you want me to do?
    Of course Hudson would answer the question with a question. Still, he responded honestly: Whatever you wanted.
    A minute passed, and Teague figured Hudson wasn’t going to respond, but as he was putting his phone back in his pocket, it vibrated. He took a deep breath as he pulled up the text and stared at the screen.
    You would be okay if I sit you on my desk and suck you off right here?
    Alrighty then.
    Teague was fairly certain he’d just had a hot flash.
    Like, seriously.
    He peered over at the people on the boat, making sure they weren’t paying any attention to him. On a normal outing, he would’ve been hanging out with them, enjoying the party, but he was too tired today. Or he had been right up until he’d imagined sitting on Hudson’s desk while Hudson sucked him off.
    Fuck.
    He tapped out a response with shaky hands: I think I could handle that.
    We’ll see about that. Come find me when you get back. As soon as you get back.
    Thankfully, Teague had his sunglasses on, because it gave him some privacy for his thoughts. He knew he was easy to read, and the last damn thing he wanted was for these people to see the intense lust burning in his eyes.
    He glanced at his phone to check the time. Still at least an hour and a half before they would be heading back to shore.
    Surely he could wait that long.

  • The Doctor in Unit H by Kris Cook

    All I can say is wow.  I don’t know what I would have done if I were is Maddox’s place.  Then feeling like he had to let go the one man I loved so that he could be free?  I could never.  What is that old saying?  “If you love someone, set them free.  If they come back to you, then they are yours”.  So fits this story.  Joris never gave up on Maddox and knew what Mad was doing.  When faced with horrors, they come together again and live their lives together.
    Maddox Butler

    Some people say you can’t fall in love at 18. But I did. And the man of my dreams? Jaris Black. He was also 18.Our first year at medical school we moved in together. It was…perfect.

    Until…

    I haven’t seen or talked to him in six years. But I’ve never stopped thinking about him. Jaris is a very successful doctor, which is no surprise to me. Still living in Unit H at Mockingbird Place.God, how I’ve missed him.

    I won’t drag Jaris into the chaos that is my life. No. I won’t. But my mother who is dying has requested to see him. They were so close. Still are.I had to honor Mom’s wish. I called him and he’s arriving in an hour. Can I keep my feelings hidden from him? I need to, for his sake.

     

    Though starting in straight erotic romance, Kris’s total focus now is on gay romance. When asked why recently, his answer was “My muse finally came out of the closet. Isn’t it about time? I’ve been out since I was twenty-five.” A voracious reader, Kris loves many genres of fiction, but this writer’s favorite books are romances that are edgy, sexy, with rich characters and unique challenges. Kris’ influences include Anne Rice, JR Ward, Lexi Blake and Shayla Black. Last year, Kris married the love of his life Stephen.

  • On Higher Ground by Melissa Collins

    OHG_facebook

     

    I have to say I didn’t read the first book, On Solid Ground, until after I read this book.  You can read this book as a stand alone, but I highly recommend that you read Sold before Higher.  You can fall in love with Dax and Beckett in the first book.  Then you can fall in love with them all over again in the next.

    PTSD and dealing with loss of a loved one are the major plots of these books.  Dax is that tough sexy as hell military man that you want to help heal while keeping him chained to you bed.  Beckett is all tatooed and manly.  The fact that he has gone through hell and back before most of us have gotten rid of all of our baby fat, has made him strong and puts everyone before himself.  He is sexy and yummy and when he is taking care of his niece……I love when a guy would is rough and rugged is holding a little one, just makes them that much hotter.

    You will have tears while reading On Higher Ground.  It is hard not to. Beautiful touching story that will have you reading it straight through.  Order in, make someone else take care of the kids and just reading this beautiful love story.

    This book will take your heart and run it through every emotion it can go through.  We have been watching Cedric and Bella screwing with each other since the beginning of the series…..literally and figuratively.  Now is their time to finally realize what everyone else knew, they were made for each other.  When a horrible event happens, it brings their souls together.

    As the wild child of the family, Bellani Maxwell isn’t interested in settling down. Between a fledgling party crashing business, teaching self-defense at a martial arts studio, and hitting the bar every night, she has her hands full. She doesn’t need the added responsibility or commitment of a relationship.
    Hockey star Cedric Pederson has all the puck bunnies he could ever want, but a chance encounter eighteen months ago leaves him with eyes only for the gorgeous, free-spirited Bella. Too bad she isn’t interested in what Cedric has to offer beyond frequent hookups, and he’s grown tired of their on-again, off-again non-relationship. He wants to be all-in or all-out.
    When a brutal attack leaves Bella in need of comfort, protection, and healing, the only person she wants is Cedric. But once she’s living in his condo, Bella is confronted with a decision she’s been avoiding—can she finally commit to Cedric, or will she let him go one last time?

    This book will move you to the core.  You will want to punch Ryker out one moment then want to ravish him in the next.  My heart really went out to Nicole.  I can’t image the heartbreak she went through.  Even though Tori was not conceived by the man that held her soul, she is the only light that penetrated the darkness that Ryker caused. 

    I was really glad that Nicole made Ryker work for her affection.  If she would have accepted him back with open arms, I would have had to bitch slap her.  She did it well.

    His world seemed empty and there was only one thing that could heal that void.
