Gone. They are all gone. The Olympians are frozen in stone in the middle of the desert – except for one. Pan. Freddy, Juliet, Mack, Deidre, Michael and Khalil race across the world to find him before Medusa and her Gorgon sisters get their hands on him. After a trip to the Fates and the Oracle, they use Pandora’s box to discover the first step in defeating Medusa. They take on the power of the six original Olympians – Zeus, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, Demeter and Hestia. The line between supernatural and deity blurs as the Olympians begin to take over their new hosts. Can the six of them free the Greek gods and goddesses before they become the Olympians themselves? And when they find the new version of Perseus, can Pan fight the attraction between them?
I was the President of the Outlaw Titans MC until I was wrongfully arrested. Now, I’m out and on the warpath to find who set me up and reclaim my spot within my MC. What I didn’t expect is a gorgeous blonde to come crashing into my world.
Can I protect her from my enemies long enough to claim her?
If you love emotional romances, rescue dogs, slow-burn chemistry, and heart-mending moments, you’ll fall for this story. Thrown together by circumstance, Matt and Harper clash at every turn. But beneath the frustration is something neither expected: A wounded trainer who’s forgotten how to hope. A volunteer who believes every broken thing deserves a second chance. A dog who needs both of them more than they realize.
Lieutenant Colonel Sawyer Blackburn, a Marine sniper battling trauma, returns home after deployment and is caught in a dangerous government conspiracy. Her brother Cooper, an investigative journalist, is murdered; Sawyer discovers files implicating top officials—including the Vice President—in a covert oil deal with China. Sawyer’s quest for vengeance and truth brings her into a fraught alliance—and complicated romance—with FBI Special Agent Reece Atwood. Together, they navigate a labyrinth of political cover-ups, assassinations of public officials, and mounting evidence of a government-wide betrayal. As bodies pile up, including Cooper’s best friends, high-level cabinet members, and foreign operatives, Sawyer’s military skills and relentless determination make her both a target and a weapon.
She watched her mother die. Then she was taken by the man who ordered it—her own father, cartel kingpin Xavier Alvarez. Raised inside a criminal empire built on fear and bloodshed, Gabriella learned early that survival meant obedience. But beneath her silence, she was watching… learning… waiting. Years later, the world fears a new name: Shadow—a woman building an empire designed to dismantle her father’s from the inside out. But when a former soldier named Ryker reappears, revenge gets complicated—and the cost of retribution turns deadly. Because when her father discovers who Shadow really is… he won’t just come for her. He’ll come for everyone she protects.
***Trigger Warning*** In order to preserve the reality in this story there are a few PA and SA scenes.
All words Theodore “Sue” Blackhawk, Vice President of the Royal Bastards MC – Northern Ontario chapter, has playing on repeat. It’s hard to admit that he was abused. It’s even harder to speak about it when the woman who abused him was smaller than his six-foot frame.
Scars.
They cover his entire body. They are raised purple and stand out like a poorly done painting in an art gallery. Does he want to cover them up with art? Yes, but finding that many meaningful pieces of art is hard.
Love.
Yes, it exists, just not for him. Because what woman wants to lie in bed with a monster?
Live life loud.
That’s the motto that Davina “Goblin” Smithe lives by. Who cares what other people think? She is the treasurer for the Royal Harlots MC—Northern Ontario Chapter. She owns Harlots On Lock Down, the only female-owned search and rescue business in the north, and she cares for two things: her motorcycle and finding the man that will capture her soul and hang on to it like the treasure that it is.
When Sue’s demons play havoc on a stakeout, Goblin is the one who calms him. Her touch, her voice, and her presence all make Sue want to believe that love does exist for him. She makes him feel like his scars are a road map that leads to his heart.
Will Sue let Goblin chase the demons away? Or is the universe out to prove to him that he is unlovable?
Two stepbrothers. One cruel will. A year they might not survive.
Jesse I left Hell Creek with a split lip and a vow: never look back. Death dragged me home. My stepfather’s will is a trap. Live on the ranch for a year, or lose it all. The catch? I have to do it with Cole. My stepbrother. The golden boy who stayed. The enemy I’ve hated since we were kids. We trade insults by day. But the nights are cold, the ranch is lonely, and the anger is starting to feel a lot like hunger.
Cole I stayed. I bled for this land. I held it together with baling twine and grit. Jesse ran. Now he’s back, wearing his city armor and looking at me with eyes that haven’t changed. I should hate him. I do hate him. But when a freak snowstorm traps us in a freezing tent for the night, the anger turns into something else. Something heavy. Something dangerous. He’s the one thing I can’t have. And the only thing I need.
Welcome to Hell Creek. Where the winters are brutal, the secrets are deep, and the love is strictly forbidden.
Well that was… a really good story. I enjoyed getting to know Cole and Jesse . They both had things from the past the needed to work through before attempting to move forward.
Jesse was angry. Like he seemed pissed off all the time. He was getting on my last nerve with his attitude but the more I read, the more his anger made sense. I finished this book in a day. It was well written and the story had a nice flow to it.
This was another story where it seems the “parental figures” had everything figured out before main characters. It was entertaining watching the men get to know one another again.
Happy Pride Month everyone! Twinsie Tenise here. I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who took the time to answer the questions for our pride month celebration. I thought hard about the questions and had fun coming up with them. I love that the authors seemed to have as much fun answering them. We will be celebrating all month with author spotlights as well as reviews for some of the LGBTQIA books we’ve read this year. Check back daily to learn more about that days featured author or book and add to your TBR piles. I hope you enjoy getting to know a little about all of these wonderful authors and their work.
🏳🌈Tell us your name and a little about yourself?
I’m Maria Vickers. I got into writing again when I was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis. It gave me an outlet, and I began to write MM when I saw a TankJoey calendar shoot. LOL. I’d been wanting to write one, but when I saw the pics, I had the story and the cover. I write both MM and MF, my dog is a hermaphrodite (which means both male and female), and I come from a large family that encourages me to write and keep going. It’s not always easy though. When I got sick with MG, I got really depressed. My younger sister had to convince me to start writing. I wanted to give up, but writing gave me a purpose and something to do again. I say getting sick changed my life, but it didn’t take it from me.
🏳🌈How many books have you written? Do you have a favorite?
In total, I’ve published almost 30 books, including anthologies. My favorite is Unbreak Me. It is an MM ghost story that is full of angst and emotion. I’ve had readers cuss me for that one. LOL.
🏳🌈Do you write one book and finish it completely before starting the next? If not, how do you keep yourself from confusing the projects?
Usually I finish before starting on another, but sometimes I go off the rails like right now. I have 4 or 5 books going at the same time. Because the characters are all different, it is easy for me to compartmentalize the stories. To me, the characters are real and they tell me what to write, so for me, it is harder to get them confused.
🏳🌈What font do you write in? Do you actually care or is it a default setting?
I don’t care. Whatever the document pulls up is what I write it, but I will say when I accidentally click on something and the font changes, I can’t do it. I have to go back and fix it so it is all one font.
🏳🌈How do you ensure your LGBTQ characters feel authentic and mutifaceted, rather than just serve a plot function?
To me, they are real. I want to write about my friends, myself as a bi author, my family. I pull in real aspects of everyone, and my stories are very character and emotionally driven versus relying only on plot. I think that’s why people connect to them. People can see themselves or others they know in the characters. I want them to be real and not just throwing an LGBTQ character in there for whatever reason. They have to have feelings, a personality, and be a person.
🏳🌈Do you have a favorite piece of LGBTQ history or fun fact you would like to share?
Mae West wrote and produced one of the first plays to open that depicted men in drag. She was a woman ahead of her time in many ways, but sadly, she was forced to close it down because of backlash.
🏳🌈What is one of your favorite books or movies with LGBTQ representation?
Feel free to share more than one, I know it is difficult as a reader to pick one favorite of anything. Especially if its book related.
Right now, I’m on the Heated Rivalry wagon. LOL. I read the books a few years ago, and when I found out about the TV show, I got excited. While there are differences, I love the way they brought the books to life. It was more than the gay couples, it was about real feelings and real emotions. It was about real relationships that defied what others might have thought. I also love the book The Wanderer by Dahlia Donovan. If you haven’t read it, you need to. The book will rip you apart, but by the end, you will be whole again. She has this ability to really pull out the emotions of the characters and lean into the good and bad situations she puts her characters in. It is one of my favorite by her.
🏳🌈What is something you have used for a bookmark that IS NOT a bookmark?
A poker card is something I’m using right now. LOL. I’ve also used a leaf, flower, tissue, and gum wrapper.
🏳🌈Do you listen to music while you write? If so, what are some of your favorite genres or songs?
No. I can’t do it. When I’m editing or designing my covers, I will have music, a podcast, or the tv on. When I write, the only music or noise I listen to is the sound of my pug snoring.
🏳🌈What is a super specific detail you know about one of your characters that has no relevance to the story?
In Somebody 2 Love, Declan is a doctor and can be a little uptight. His best friend Baker wanted him to loosen up, so he dared him to take a belly dancing class. It never made it into the book, but it is something I always had in the back of my mind.
Griff: I learned early on that the easiest way to avoid a broken heart is to always be the first out the door. Caring about anyone or anything is asking to be disappointed, which is why I avoid relationships and chase freelance gigs — ghost writing restaurant reviews and penning articles about the efficacy of cheesy pick up lines — instead of chasing my dreams.
Besides, dreams don’t come true for people like me. And no one, not even the sexy-as-hell bartender at the club can convince me otherwise. Because I’m never risking my heart again.
Sam: As a bartender I’ve watched a million pick-up artists work their magic, but none as talented as Griffin Marian. He’s a flirt, a good time. Hooking up with him was supposed to be just a fling. I wasn’t supposed to care abut his fractured past or his buried dreams. I have my own future to worry about, especially after that stupid food critic scuttled my hopes of finally opening my own restaurant.
But, the more time I spend with Griff, the more I’m beginning to realize that my plans mean nothing without him. If only I can convince him to give us a chance to follow our dreams together.
Griffin is so broken. He doesn’t know how to love. He doesn’t understand what it means to show up for someone because no one has ever shown up for him.
Sam is pissed. He lost his job that would lead him to success and is now trying to make it as a bartender.
Sam has been watching Griffin come in and sit at the bar for weeks. Each time with a different man. Always calling them some term of endearment. Sam tries to avoid the obvious man whore but he can’t stop thinking about Griffin.
This one was tough. And the added angst of the secret between them made me read it even faster. Totally addicted to this series. I know I say this a lot but I am going to be sad to see the series come to an end. It has been fun getting to know this family.

🏳🌈Tell us your name and a little about yourself?
Daryl Banner. I’m a Texas-based MM romance author and composer.
🏳🌈How many books have you written? Do you have a favorite?
Oh, goodness. Excluding boxed sets and anthologies, I think I have 65 titles now. Picking a favorite hurts the feelings of the other books, but if you keep this just between us, probably “When I See You Again” 😉
🏳🌈Do you write one book and finish it completely before starting the next? If not, how do you keep yourself from confusing the projects?
I rarely work on more than one book at a time, but when I do, they tend to be from completely different genres. (I also write dystopian fantasy and paranormal.) The different genres tends to help keep it sorted in my head.
🏳🌈What font do you write in? Do you actually care or is it a default setting?
I’m so boring, I write in Times New Roman usually so I can see all the formatting clearly. But if it’s an established series, I’ll write in whatever font the previous book was set in.
🏳🌈How do you ensure your LGBTQ characters feel authentic and mutifaceted, rather than just serve a plot function?
I’m gay myself, but there are so many facets to being LGBTQ and so many aspects of sexual expression that even straight people experience. It’s important to be truthful to the character themselves regardless of identity. I strive to understand them in all aspects as fully as possible before I write. I like everything to occur to me before I plot to avoid backtracking.
🏳🌈What is something you have used for a bookmark that IS NOT a bookmark?
My sock. Literally my sock. I had nothing else and I was in a hurry.
🏳🌈Do you listen to music while you write? If so, what are some of your favorite genres or songs?
Yes! Though I usually need lyric-less music, and I’m a gamer, so I tend to listen to video game soundtracks/OSTs the most often. I’m a huge fan of Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy series) and Yasunori Mitsuda as well as Michiru Yamane (composer of some Castlevania soundtracks).
🏳🌈What is a super specific detail you know about one of your characters that has no relevance to the story?
Billy Tucker-Strong (Spruce Texas series) has a secret ingredient he puts in his Football Sundaes that even his husband Tanner doesn’t know about. (And even I don’t know about. What the heck is it, Billy? Tell me! 😤)
