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: You're Not My King! by Eryn Hawk

Blurb: Reuben Carter

Throwing myself in front of my estranged sister didn’t win me any brownie points. It did, however, grant me one alien abduction and a cozy cell on an actual-freaking-spaceship, where I’m being poked and prepped for relocation to some backwater trading planet, then sold to the highest bidder—how’s that for a hero’s reward?

My escape plans hit a snag when Vo’ak, the hot and arrogant lizard king, buys me the second I land. There’s no denying our serious chemistry, but I gotta get back to the familiarity of Earth, where free will kinda exists and I’m no one's pet. However, chasing the comfort of old memories starts feeling like an unnecessary fixation, and I must decide what “home” really means before making any more stupid mistakes.

Vo'ak

As Great Leader of U'suhk, I am bound by duty to protect my kind and territory. The traitorous Northern Clan—a thorn in my side—forces me closer to war each day, but now, with the honor of a mate-bond stirring in my soul, there is an unexpected shift in my attention that cannot be resisted.

My tiny, fragile Roo-bin is a delight and, though lamenting a woeful past, must be claimed. However, his aversion to obedience and ignorance of our customs means protecting him proves a near-impossible task. If I cannot make the sweet, stubborn creature understand the dangers we face, even my plentiful strength and skill may not be enough to keep him safe.

YOU'RE NOT MY KING! is a MM alien romance with language barriers, banter, and barbarian aliens. It features a hot lizard king from the planet U'suhk, and a traumatized little human, who is abducted by accident and forced to become an alien's mate. It’s part of the EXTRA! EXTRATERRESTRIAL shared world with Fae Quin, where each book focuses on its own pair and their HEA. While these stories can act as standalones, it is best to read each author’s books in the order of their publication due to world-building.

~From Seduced by Moonlight, #1 in the Gargoyles of San DeLain

The air was thick with anticipation, or perhaps it was just the mist that clung stubbornly to the ground. And where had that come from? 

He noticed the ceremonial stones laid out in a perfect circle, along with the four figures in dark robes chanting in an ancient tongue, one that he hadn’t heard in a considerably long time. 

Sacrifice. Someone was committing a ritual sacrifice by black magic on his land. Why the hell had the wards not alerted him to the fact? They should’ve.

The chanting words were powerful and resonant, vibrating through the air. With each syllable spoken, the markings on the stones glowed softly at first, then brighter and brighter.

Within the circle stood a bound figure, struggling feebly against the ropes that bound their wrists. Ward froze when the person glanced right at him—her eyes were wide with terror, her mouth gagged to stifle any pleas for mercy.

This week is: Body Count: A Dark MM Romance (Wayward Sons Book 1) by L Eveland

 

Blurb: 

Death is his business. Vengeance is mine. Together, we’re unstoppable.

Theo

I’ve been broken in ways I can’t even explain. Trafficked, tortured, and stripped of everything that made me human, I was just a shell—until River Laskin found me.

He’s a monster—a cold, narcissistic sociopath with a blood-soaked past—but when he rescued me from hell, he became my lifeline.

I never asked for revenge. I just wanted to survive. But River has a different plan. He’s a man who gets what he wants, no matter the cost. And right now, he wants me... to protect, to break, and to rebuild.

River

The moment I laid eyes on Theo, I knew he was mine. My obsession. My toy.

He doesn’t want vengeance. He just wants to hide from the nightmare that’s his life. But I won’t let him. I’ll burn everything to the ground and tear apart every soul that’s hurt him—whether he likes it or not.

I’ll make them pay.

I’ll make them suffer.

In the end, I’ll put him back together. He’s mine, and I’ll destroy anyone who stands in our way.

Body Count is a blood-soaked tale of vengeance and obsession, where dark secrets and deadly desires collide. While the story is intense and filled with danger, the romance between River and Theo is a stark contrast—sweet, consensual, and built on trust. This is the first book in the Wayward Sons series, a collection of standalone stories about broken men and the complicated love that heals them, even in the most twisted of circumstances.

From Seduced by Moonlight, #1 in the Gargoyles of San DeLain

 His senses heightened as he crept through the trees, and the sounds of the forest grew quieter as he ventured further into the darkness. Very, very odd.

Then Ward sensed it—magic. Black magic.

Suddenly, the usual nocturnal sounds stopped completely, replaced by a charged silence. His foxy friend darted off, and the birds darted ahead. Ward’s senses picked up a faint scent among the damp earth and decaying leaves. It was a scent laced with fear and something else—something metallic.

Blood.

Ward’s protective instincts surged to the forefront as he followed the scent trail. The moonlight cast eerie shadows through the twisted branches, creating patterns that danced on the ground.

Close. He was close. He could smell how close he was, but there was nothing—wait. Wait. What was that? Was that…? Yes. It was chanting. As the moon cast a pale, eerie glow over the secluded grove—his secluded grove—Ward came to a stop and stared in shock. Who were these people who dared trespass on his land?
