Pucker Up Monday

 It's not what you think. Since Mondays do tend to suck, I thought I'd start the week off right for ya.

Thursday Book Recommendation

 

These are books I’ve read and really enjoyed. Most of what I talk about will probably be paranormal/scifi but not always. Although it’s rare, I do read some contemporary. 

This week is: Leave Me Broken by Ki Brightly, M.D. Gregory 

 

Blurb: 

The Ruined Man

Reed Olsson made an unforgivable mistake. He stole from the Killough Company and as a result suffers severe consequences. He’s tortured within an inch of his life, and he expects death, but instead he’s given a second chance. The only downside is that he’s handed over to Oisín, a twisted thief with a death wish. Now Reed has a chance to escape, but to do that, he must bide his time and play the game.

The Flirty Thief

Oisín Kelly can’t stand boredom. He lives on the edge of danger every day and it’s always difficult to find a man who can keep up, but then he sees Reed under the torturous hand of a Company man. Oisín wants him. Reed’s a beast, one that keeps Oisínon his toes, and he’s fun . . . for now.

Clash of Wills

Their relationship is push and pull, and neither expects the satisfying thrill of being around each other. Reed has been burned too many times, and Oisín expects Reed to falter under his chaotic demands. Instead, they find a comfortable balance that makes them both question what they have. When Oisín drags Reed out on an assignment as his backup, it’ll be the ultimate test. Will Reed run or will he stay to fight alongside Oisín?

Leave Me Broken is a standalone book in the New Gothenburg universe that is full of dark twists and turns.

Teaser Tuesday

 

Hudson held out his hand. “Welcome to the San DeLain Fire Court territory. I’m Hudson Redmond.”

Kayden shook Hudson’s hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. Thank you for allowing my crew and me onto your territory. I’ve reviewed your rules with my men and women too.”

“Excellent, I appreciate that.” Hudson released Kayden’s hand. “May I introduce Sir Conrad Turner, my Right Hand, and my mate. If you should have questions or run into a problem and cannot get in touch with me? Well, Connie speaks for me.”

“That’s good to know,” Kayden said, holding out his hand to Connie. “Your king has already given me your cell phone number, Sir Conrad. It’s nice to meet you.”

“It’s nice to meet you too,” Connie said, shaking Kayden’s hand. 

“I would also like to introduce you to Kit Meadows, who is also my mate, as well as Connie’s.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you too,” Kayden said, once again holding out his hand. “I had heard through the grapevine that his Majesty and Right Hand had mated a human. Congratulations to the three of you.”

This week is: Unnatural (The Wrong Alpha Book 1) by Alessandra Hazard

Blurb:

A planet at war. Two alphas forced into a political marriage. Attraction that defies all reason and logic… Or does it?

The Kingdom of Pelugia and the Republic of Kadar have been at war for decades. Peace isn’t popular, but the planet can’t survive without it.

Forced to marry an enemy prince for the sake of peace, Senator Royce Cleghorn doesn’t like his husband, his alpha scent, or his damned pretty blue eyes. More than anything, Royce hates what Haydn makes him become: a primitive alpha cliché who’ll do anything to mark his territory, even if that territory is his alpha husband. Royce likes omegas; he isn’t into alphas, no matter how pretty their eyes are. It’s just a weird territorial instinct. It has to be.

Prince Haydn has always tried to be the perfect alpha his father wants him to be. He’s the heir to the throne. He’s a war general. He isn’t supposed to bare his throat to an enemy alpha—and it isn’t supposed to feel so good. Everyone knows a marriage between two alphas is a recipe for disaster. He isn’t supposed to crave his husband—their marriage is just a political arrangement, nothing more.

But when disaster strikes and loyalties are tested, which bond will be the strongest: their marriage, or their allegiances?

This MM romance is set in an omegaverse world similar to contemporary Earth, and it contains mating cycles, two men obsessed with each other, and a happily ever after. While mpreg exists in this world, it's only mentioned and doesn't appear on-page.

~Meet Kayden, someone who'll figure prominently in the Gargoyles of San DeLain series! Hint, hint lol.

JUST AS they finished breakfast, Hudson got a text informing him Kayden was on his way to the main house. Kayden Lancaster owned Lancaster Construction Company and was well-known and well-liked in the paranormal world. 

While Kayden wasn’t considered a paranormal—but neither was he fully human—he did have telekinetic powers, which meant he had the ability to move objects using the power of his mind. 

That was putting it simply, Hudson was aware.

Kayden could manipulate matter with his minds, allowing him to touch, hold, move, and otherwise interact with a target through his psychic ability. As Hudson understood it, for a sufficiently skilled and powerful practitioner, the size, weight, distance, and mass of a targeted object seldom hindered their ability to influence it. 

Hudson didn’t know Kayden well enough to ask such personal questions. But he was aware that people like Kayden were often referred to as a “telekinetic”. But the slang name for them was “teek or teeks”. 

“Kayden is on his way here,” Hudson said, pocketing his cell. “Why don’t we meet him out front?”

Kit wiped his mouth with a napkin, then got to his feet. “Sounds good to me.”

Connie took one last sip of his coffee, he and Kit following Hudson out of the front door. Several work trucks and a couple of white vans were making their way down the main road toward them.
