On October 7, 2013 I had the pleasure of introducing a new author to you. Like I said then, I have known Jorja Kish for a while and when she told me she was writing a book, I jumped up and volunteered to spotlight her here on my blog. Now that My Everything has been released by Siren Publishing, I have had a chance to read it and now review it. You can order this title by clicking here. Below is the synopsis of the book followed by an excerpt. Enjoy!
“Cage fighter by necessity, Squeak dodges the henchmen sent by his boss. He hides out at The Crossroad Bar and manages to have hot dirty sex with a stranger. Unfortunately, something inside of Squeak is unleashed when bitten on the shoulder. Terrified with the excruciating pain, Squeak flees into the night oblivious to the mating bite.
Commander Tynan Rhys is tired and wants to return to the Lycan Home world. The Crossroad Bar is the last stop on his mission, and he fears it’s another wild goose chase.
A neon green cap catches his eye, and he soon finds himself with a little imp that makes his blood burn with lust. Due for a quick hookup, Tynan seduces the gorgeous man, but when his canines drop with the uncontrollable urge to bite, all thoughts of his mission are lost.
Tynan realises too late that he claimed one of the missing Lycan princes, and now faces a death sentence.”
Story Excerpt
There was no doubt about it that his little heart was going to burst from his chest.
“Holy fucking shit, he is gorgeous,” gasped Squeak, barely listening to the man sitting next to him when he said something.
He nodded a few times, but his entire being was focussed on the stranger that sat in the corner of the bar. Without caution, and being entirely rude, Squeak pushed away from the bar, leaving the man midsentence. He took a step toward the gorgeous stranger and soon found himself standing in front of the empty chair across from the Adonis. Biting his lip, he blinked with surprise and glanced back over his shoulder toward the crowded bar. Frowning slightly, he shrugged his shoulders before turning back, still nibbling his lower lip.
He braved a quick glance at the giant man who sat leaning against the wall. Eyes of the most stunning lavender hue stared back at him. The gaze was clear, sharp, and filled with undisguised lust. Squeak’s eyes popped wider.
“Hi,” Squeak blurted out, immediately blushing from the squeak in his voice and the raised eyebrow of the stunning man sitting before him. “Aw crap, I sound so stupid.” Squeak blushed further.
He tore his eyes away and was about to turn when the sexiest, deepest, and most lust-worthy growl sent shivers down his body. He gasped from the strange sensation in his body and quickly slipped into the vacant chair when his legs felt like they were about to give out.
“By all means sit with me, little one.” The stranger smirked and nodded at the chair that was suddenly occupied.
Squeak felt like his face was on fire and his gut was doing crazy flip-flops. He didn’t know if he was going puke all over the guy or climb on his lap and rub his little body all over the stranger.
“Oh, crap, what is wrong with me,” he muttered under his breath. He was about to stand and leave when a heavily callused hand pressed into his and held his smaller hand with a firm yet gentle grip.
“Nothing is wrong with you, little one,” the stranger purred. “I am Tynan, and you are?”
Squeak stared at the massive hand that swallowed his smaller and far more delicate hand. The pressure of the man’s hand sent chills down his back and he shivered from something he couldn’t identify. Pulling his wide eyes away, he raised his long lashes to peek through them and look at the gorgeous creature called Tynan. Fuck, even the name was sexy as hell.
“People call me Squeak, you know,” he motioned toward his slight stature. “I’m kind of small like a mouse.”
Tynan nodded, keeping his hand firmly against the delicate bones of Squeak’s soft fingers. He leaned slightly closer and felt his body shiver from the sudden ache in his breeches. His cock hardened and pressed against the snug material. But it was the alluring scent that wrapped itself around his body that had him growling from deep within his chest.
He watched as the little man’s eyes popped even wider, but the waifish man didn’t pull away from his touch.
“Man, that’s so cool. How did you make that sound? I mean you’re obviously not a Terran from your ginormous size and I’ve never heard a growl like that come out of one either. And call me crazy, but that was so sexy. I mean you growled like a wild animal would and—oh crap I didn’t mean you were a wild animal, I just mean it sounded really cool and sexy and I really need to shut the hell up.” Squeak moaned as he rubbed his face with his free hand. He tugged away from the firm grip.
“Don’t,” Tynan murmured, gliding his thumb over the back of Squeak’s hand, “your skin is so soft and your hand is so small and fragile. You smell delicious to me.”
Tynan pulled Squeak’s hand across the table toward his hungry body, raised the hand to his lips, and placed a soft kiss on the fingertips. His eyes flared with heat and his belly clenched from the ambrosia of the small taste of the little man. The taste of sweet citrus and mint mingled on his lips.
“You are exquisite, my little mouse,” he whispered, taking another gentle kiss on the slightly quivering fingers.
“Uh huh.” Squeak nodded as he leaned forward, practically draped over the small round table. “But I’m not a mouse, I’m a man.”
Tynan smiled against the hand that was held to his mouth and winked.
“That you definitely are, Squeak. And I have the need to get to know you much better if you would allow me such a pleasure.”
Without a word, Squeak scrambled from the table and climbed on top of Tynan’s massive thighs and straddled the gorgeous man.”
Sometimes with an author’s first book, you can tell that it is their first book. That isn’t so with this one. I can tell that Jorja is not only a promising new author, but that she is a fan of m/m, paranormal, sci-fi books. It was well written, and sucked me in after only reading the prologue. Tynan is the badass alpha type that I love, and Squeak is a twink with a heart of gold. I love that combination. I am going to give this book ❤❤❤❤❤. One for the fact that the book kept me emotionally involved, one for the love of the characters, one for the story line, one for the anticipation of the next book, and one for the promise of this new author. Well done Jorja!!! I can’t wait for the next book!
Ciao!
