NEW RELEASE: EXCERPT + GIVEAWAY - GIDEON by Lily Morton

Gideon RDB Banner

Gideon
Finding Home Series, Book 3
Lily Morton
Release Date: 05.12.19
M/M Romance

Gideon-LM-f500

BLURB

Gideon Ramsay is so far in the closet he should be a talking faun.

A talented, mercurial, and often selfish man, Gideon has everything he should want in life. Fame, money, acting awards – he has it all. Everything but honesty. At the advice of his agent, Gideon has concealed his sexuality for years. But it’s starting to get harder to hide, and his increasingly wild behaviour is threatening to destroy his career.

Then he’s laid low by a serious illness and into his life comes Eli Jones. Eli is everything that Gideon can’t understand. He’s sunny tempered, friendly, and optimistic. Even worse, he’s unaffected by grumpiness and sarcasm, which forms ninety percent of Gideon’s body weight. And now Gideon is trapped with him without any recourse to the drugs and alcohol that have previously eased his way through awkward situations.

However, as Gideon gets to know the other man, he finds himself wildly attracted to his lazy smiles and warm, scruffy charm that seem to fill a hole inside Gideon that’s been empty for a long time. Will he give in to this incomprehensible attraction when it could mean the end of everything that he’s worked for?

From the bestselling author of the Mixed Messages series comes a story about a man who needs to realise that being true to yourself is really just a form of finding home.

EXCERPT


“Round the block?” he intones in a gloomy voice.

I nod. “Yes, please.”

The car moves off slowly. He examines my face in the mirror. “You okay, sir?”

I look up, surprised. “Of course,” I say abruptly. Then I ask, “Why?”

He shrugs, returning his attention to the road. “You don’t look so good, Mr Ramsay.”

“Oh Russ, you old charmer, you,” I drawl, slugging some more tequila. “What’s with the ‘sir’ and ‘Mr Ramsay’ business anyway?”

He ignores the question. He’s more passive-aggressive than Taylor Swift. “You haven’t eaten properly for a few days now,” he says instead in a concerned voice.

“I have eaten,” I say crossly.

“Tequila and vodka aren’t any of the major food groups.”

I shrug. “I had a Pop-Tart this morning.”

“You had that yesterday and very charmingly regurgitated it into a jasmine bush earlier on.”

“I’m fine,” I say dismissively.

“I surely hope you are,” he says wryly. “Because you’ve got your hands full tonight.”

I shake my head, thinking of the two men I’m about to get into bed with and looking down at my very disinterested cock. “Russ, you’d need a medium and a séance to bring my dick back to life tonight.”

He laughs loudly and then sobers. “Maybe you should call it a night then. Go to bed on your own for a change, sir.”

“Okay, Nanny McPhee. And maybe I’d be better with a box of tissues and a wi-fi connection.” I sigh. “Actually, that sounds a lot quieter.” I stare blearily at the back of his grey head. “I hope you also know that tagging the word sir on the end of a sentence doesn’t make it any less bossy.”

It had been six years since my world was turned upside down.
He exposed me to the darker side of life and I could never go back to the person I was.
I had been through more things the average person couldn’t even relate to.

If I had the chance to go back and do things differently though?
Not a chance.

I’d pick him a thousand times. A million times. For eternity.

I guess not much has changed.

#PrideMonth - New Audiobook Review - LOGAN'S NEED by Sloane Kennedy


Title: Logan's Need
Series: The Escort Series, Book 3
Author: Sloane Kennedy
Narrated by: Michael Pauley
Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins
Release date: 05-16-18

~ BLURB ~ 

“I feel like I’ve been wearing blinders for my entire life and now they’ve been ripped off and everything’s too bright – too harsh. Part of me wants them back so I only have to see what’s right in front of me.” --Logan 

After Logan Bradshaw’s dreams go up in smoke, he’s left broken and haunted by a cruel betrayal from his former business partner, a man he once thought of as a friend. His life as a professional escort helped pay for his future once, so maybe a few more jobs can give him back what he’s lost. And if that means being a third for one night for a wealthy couple living out a ménage fantasy, then so be it. It might just be the final payout he needs to get his life back on track. 

Dominic Barretti has everything money can buy, but it can’t save his beautiful young wife as cancer steals her away from him. He also can’t deny her one last request – a ménage encounter with another man. It’s the perfect excuse to meet the man who’s been haunting his dreams. On paper, Logan is the perfect choice to give his wife what she needs, but he doesn’t expect his own fierce desires to flare up when the young man enters their lives. 

Dom and Logan don’t know it, but Sylvie Barretti has decided to play matchmaker from beyond the grave. Unfortunately, getting two broken men to find each other makes dying seem like the easy part. 

Logan can’t deny his attraction to Dom, but the surprise desire for another man has left him reeling and questioning everything he’s ever known about himself. But when a threat from the past surfaces, will Logan be able to let go of the life he knew and embrace the one he needs? 

Note: This book contains M/M sexual content and is intended for mature audiences.

OMG! Seriously if you're a fan of MM and Audiobooks or even if you're not I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Audio!!!!! I haven't listened to a whole bunch of audiobooks but its been quite a few lately BUT let me tell you.........The story itself is fucking phenomenal. Um, hello it's Sloane Kennedy!! But the INTENSITY and the PASSION and the EMOTION in which the narrator, Michael Pauley, delivers the story with is.......WOW! like I'm speechless WOW! So AMAZING WOW!! 

I was literally on the edge of my seat, my heart was pounding and my lady bits .......well TMI! But I'm sure you're getting the gist of it. 😉 

I mean what more is there to say?! I could go on and on about how much I love this story. Dom and Logan will drive you insane. Insane in a frustrating way because they're both stubborn and insane in a good way because they're perfect for each other. The chemistry alone will drive you wild. 

This story is packed with emotion, drama and action that kept me entertained and captivated throughout. Between the narrator's amazing delivery and the author's brilliant talent this is hands down a MUST!!!

Frankie

No one understands why I love him. 
Why I need him. 
Why I took him back. 
But they don’t have to.
I know. 
Despite the hurt and the heartache, I see beneath his skin. 
And I’m different now. 
No more Flirty Frankie. 
My dreams have changed, and so have I.
I’m stronger. 
I believe in myself.
And I’m a hell of a lot smarter than a year ago. 
Now it's his turn to show me the man he really is. 
To prove it. 
I've always loved him. 
But that's not enough.
I need to learn to trust him.


Aaron

No more excuses.
No more chances.
I make this right or lose him for good.
I have to do this.
No one has ever believed in me but him.
No one has ever wanted me but him.
I can’t let him down.
I won’t.
I can’t let myself down.
I’m trying, but it's so damn hard.
No matter what they throw at me, I’m stronger. 
And I’m going to make it. 
I’m on my way.
With Frankie by my side. 
I can see the future.
I have a future.
Us. Together. 
Forever.







Review
5 Stars
Ok, so I wasn't sure how this story would play out because of the events that led up to this couple separating in the first place. I am soooo in love with Frankie and Aaron. I'm such a sucker for this author's work because her stories are always filled with so much emotion and positive messages. Don't judge a book by it's cover and don't judge a person by their past. 

This couple not only has to overcome the issues within themselves but the judgement from family and friends. They were so determined to not only prove to each other that things were going to be different the second time around but to everyone else. I loved how these were issues that people can, have and will eventually struggle through in real life. So it made this story all the more eye opening and heartwarming to see Frankie and Aaron make the effort with the help, support and guidance from each other and their devoted love for each other to overcome past mistakes and truly make it work. 

I love love love how this author showcases each of these characters strengths and flaws. Not just one is to blame and both take responsibility for the things that happened in the past. The character development was so well written it was like watching these transform into these two beautiful souls and reach for there well deserved HEA and my heart warmed with so much pride. Aaron and Frankie just had so much love for each other. I was really rooting for Aaron. Yes, I was a little wary in the beginning but it was just so obvious how much he loved Frankie and the pain, guilt and remorse he had for the things he'd done just about broke my heart. 

This truly was an amazingly beautiful journey between two men who learn forgiveness, growth, trust and love from within and for each other. An absolutely amazing second chance story that will give you all the FEELS!!! I loved that Felice Stevens doesn't make this book so super heavy. It's a great balance between the angst, the drama, sexy times, and humor. A pure magical journey that had me captivated from the very first page. There are so many secondary characters that have me so intrigued so I can't wait to see what else Ms. Stevens has in store for this series.

Kiss Your Scars Cover



BLURB

Being the king of Atlanta’s underworld used to have its perks, but lately all undercover agent Renzo Vega has seen is the downside. Someone is auctioning off women in his city, and he’s damn sure not about to let that offense stand. Just as he’s set to make a move, Renzo’s club is ambushed and he’s shot. Unsure of who to trust, he turns to the one man he definitely knows wants him dead.

Yanked from his bed, blindfolded and spirited away in the middle of the night, Lowell Scott is shocked to find the darkly gorgeous Renzo bleeding and in need of his help. The very last thing he wants is to come to the aid of the man responsible for his cousin’s death, but the knife at his throat doesn’t give Low much options.

Close proximity doesn’t temper the hatred Low harbors for Renzo, it only brings up new problhen they’re exposed, those secrets will bring far-reaching consequences that could sever not just their shaky bond, but Low’s family ties as well.

This is book three in the Loose Ends series, but can be read as a standalone.

EXCERPT

Everything about him was magnetic and dangerous, and he moved like a rogue wave on an abandoned beach, wiping away your foundation before you had a chance to prepare for the hit.


Right now his gaze devoured Low, making it hard for him not to squirm.


“There is something between us.” Renzo put his hands in his pockets. Low tried not to notice the way that action tugged his pants waist lower and rucked up his shirt. “You and I both know that.”


“No.” Low held up a hand when Renzo took a step forward, but that didn’t stop him from coming closer. “I have a boyfriend.” So yeah, he’d upgraded Chance. “I don’t want you.”


“Yes.” Renzo got in Low’s space, trapping Low between him and the locked door. “You have a boyfriend but here you are, sneaking off to see me. Why are you at my club? Are you here looking for love? Looking for a fuck?”


Low’s eyes widened and Renzo touched him, a slide of his knuckles down his cheek. That touch. He’d thought about. He’d fantasized about it. He’d grieved for the loss of it.


“Doesn’t matter which. I’m good for either one.”


Low jerked his head up and slid closer. He couldn’t help it, couldn’t fight the coil in his belly that pulled tighter with every word Renzo spoke, bringing them together until their bodies made contact, front to front.


Step away. He should step back. But Renzo kept him right there with his heat and the smell of him. Low leaned forward slowly, seeking more of it.


The heat.


The scent.


His lips brushed Renzo’s neck.


Renzo groaned. Low’s entire body clenched.


Have mercy. “Leave me the fuck alone,” Low whispered. But there was no force beyond that plea. Just empty words mocking him, because the truth was he wanted Renzo closer.


Renzo grabbed him by the arm and pushed him up against the mirror overlooking the main area of the club. They could see out, but no one could see them as they stood, Renzo at Low’s back, humping him, sliding his hardness all over Low’s ass. Slowly.


Fucking painfully slow.


“Watch him,” Renzo murmured at his ear. “Watch your boyfriend. Does he know he’s your second choice, Low?”


He shuddered, panting, but he still held his head high, squirming as he tried to get away from Renzo’s hold. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”


Renzo laughed. “You know.” His tongue slid over the shell of Low’s ear.


Low’s breath hitched as he locked his knees to keep from falling. Renzo melted him. He destroyed Low and he remained in that grip, loving their destruction.


“Where does Chance think you are, Low? Men’s room? Outside getting some air? When you leave here, will you tell him where you were, I wonder?” Renzo nipped at his earlobe and Low gave him everything. Every shudder, every gasp. “You gonna tell him you were rubbing your ass all over my cock, Low?”


“No.” He moaned. God. Fuck. Low gave up his moans, too. “Please.”


“You gonna tell him you can’t stay away from me? That you only brought him here to make me jealous?”


“I don’t want you.” His voice was an embarrassingly thin thread of sound that wavered under the weight of Renzo’s touch, like a ribbon wrapped around a tree branch, fighting against a heavy wind.


“Doesn’t matter how much you tell yourself you hate me,” Renzo whispered. “You still close your eyes when Chance touches you and pretend it’s me.”


The stark truth in those words buried him. “No.”


Renzo ignored his weak protest. “Does he know what you like, huh?” He touched Low, one hand at his chest, lips at his ear. “Has he fucked you lately?”


“Renzo.”


“Yes.” Renzo moaned, too, the sound hitting Low in the balls. “The way you say my fucking name.” He pressed closer, rocking against Low. He clasped Low’s throat, tilting his head against his shoulder. “Good?” he asked, voice turned husky. “He fucks you good, Low? The way you want, the way you need?”


“I don’t…” Low choked, but he was moving with Renzo, on him, sliding up and down, riding the hard ridge of Renzo. Unable to stop. Just for a second. He’d forget himself just for however long it took for this hunger to work its way through him.


“Does he eat you out? Lick it up?” The hand around Low’s throat tightened. “Does he tell you you’re the best?”


Low sobbed for him, trembling, fingers clinging to the hand Renzo had splayed over his lower belly. Done, he was fucking done.


“You’re the best I’ve ever had, Low, and I haven’t even fucked you yet. Let me get that.” He touched lower, cupping Low’s erection through his jeans and squeezing. “Let me tear it up while you call me Daddy. Let’s stay here, like this, you riding me till we both come.”


“No!” Low wrenched himself away, stumbling as he glared at Renzo as arousal crawled along his spine. “You killed my cousin.”


Renzo shrugged. “Did I?”
