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:  Monsters within Men: An MM Post-Apocalyptic Romance by TJ Rose

Blurb:

London, 2053. One of the last remaining civilisations in the world. 

A decade on from the first wave of human-flesh-craving monsters that wiped out most of society, Noah finds himself stepping up to lead Squad E, part of London’s East Regiment, fighting back against the creatures that threaten mankind. But between battling monsters, struggling with grief, and his rivalry with another lieutenant, Noah is sinking, fast. The last thing he needs is a young, weak conscript with an attitude problem to add to his issues. Especially when he can’t seem to get him out of his head.

 Zeke, Squad E’s newest recruit, would rather do anything else than be conscripted into the dwindling military force battling to save humanity. But when his research assistant job abruptly ends after his boss is arrested under mysterious circumstances, he must learn to embrace his new life as a soldier. But perhaps his attractive commanding officer—whom he is forbidden from dating—might offer the silver lining he never knew he wanted? 

As the crisis escalates, London’s time begins to run out. Food shortages, riots, and secrets buried by leadership all push the city towards its boiling point. The ten members of Squad E, along with their faithful dog, Wolf, must band together if they’re going to make it out of this alive.

 Monsters within Men is a slow burn, post-apocalyptic fantasy MM romance, suitable for adult readers. It is a standalone book of around 110k words. 

Content warnings: explicit sexual scenes, grief, self-harm, non-graphically described suicide attempts, on-page death of side characters, mild gore

“Pissed, then, and that’s very understandable.”

Great. Now Connie was speaking to Kit like he was some sort of wild animal—all soft voice and wary like they might frighten him into running. Hudson might be a king, but Kit could queen out with the best of them, and he was about ready to get his bitch on.

“But give us a chance to explain,” Connie finished. “And coffee. We’re going to need coffee. Lots of coffee.”

“Fine.” Kit stomped into the living area and sat down while Hudson and Connie made themselves something to drink.

“Would you like me to freshen yours?” Hudson asked, approaching Kit cautiously.

“I’m good but thanks,” Kit answered, glaring.

A few minutes later both of them sat on the couch across from Kit. If he wasn’t so mad at everyone in general, he’d feel bad. Hudson looked worried, and Connie was flat out green.

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.

This week is: Don't Let Me Go: A Dark MM Sci-Fi Mafia Romance by Chani Lynn Feener

Blurb:

Hunter Thorn did the unthinkable.

He's fallen for the enemy. He may have told himself he did it to survive, but there's no denying the chemistry between him and Odin, even if they're still on uneven ground. When someone from his past returns, everything he thought he knew is thrown to the wind, and he's forced to finally come to grips with his feelings and make a decision.

Odin Snow captured the Huntsman and made him his.

But when Hunter goes missing, all of Odin's carefully laid plans are dashed. Was their time together truly long enough to bind Hunter to him, or was his Huntsman merely biding his time to escape? Trust doesn't come easily for the head of a Brumal mafia family, but in the end, Odin only has two choices. Trust Hunter and keep him. Or let those old suspicions bloom and lose him forever.

*Trigger Warnings: This is the third and final installment in the A Whisper in the Dark trilogy, a Dark MM Sci-Fi Mafia Romance, which features a super possessive mafia leader and the man from his past he's always wanted. There are dark themes in this book that aren't suitable for all readers, including but not limited to, dubcon, torture, drugs, violence, and explicit sexual scenes. HEA guaranteed.

“Pissed is the term you’re looking for,” Kit snapped.

What was worse than pissed? Because he was there. Oh boy was he there. How dare they hide this? How fucking dare they. Didn’t they think this was something he needed to know? It only affected his damn life after all. Kit was a human. They were dragons. They weren’t even the same species!

Reading about fated mates in paranormal romances was one thing. Nothing was hotter than a snarly bad boy who was all protective and shit. Getting slapped in the face with it was something else entirely. And he had two of them—mates, that was.

Did they think his little human brain couldn’t handle it? Were they trying to—and hear him out here—protect him? Clue him in gently so he wouldn’t worry his pretty little head?

Oh, hell no. He was not some damsel in distress. This was one time he wished he was a paranormal so he could flash some fang and do a snarly growl at them.

Instead all he could do was grit his very human teeth and not shake them silly. Not to mention, getting his ass yanked into some weird vision thingy by a deity was not helping his mood either.

This week is:  Frost Bite by Virginia Kelly, Lynn Van Dorn

 

 

Blurb:

Nick has no direction in his life, as his mother often reminds him. He works paycheck to paycheck, which becomes a problem when the paychecks stop coming in. When he's offered an opportunity to work off his rent, Nick decides there are worse things in life than being a super, especially when the job includes free rent. There is, however, a catch. His landlord is a vampire and he needs more from Nick than maintenance and renter-wrangling. He needs Nick's blood.

 

Vladimir has drifted for centuries before finally making Chicago his home. With the help of his trusted servant, Ivan, he has surrounded himself with a camouflage of human tenants and dropped off the supernatural radar. He might be a blood-drinking monster but he has no taste for the dangerous, and often murderous, politics that surround the local vampire Council. He is a monster alone, and that's exactly how he likes it, but with his human servant retiring, Vladimir needs a replacement. Luckily, Ivan finds a candidate who already lives in the building and is eager to interview for the job.

 

Nick is a man who needs to find purpose for his life and Vladimir is a vampire in dire need of a reason to keep existing. They start to find what they seek within each other and the future looks bright indeed, even for a creature of the night. Then catastrophe strikes and Vladimir finds that after centuries of hiding, he finally has something worth fighting for.

 

Frost Bite is a light-hearted 62,000 word MM fantasy romance which contains a worn-down young man, a world-weary vampire, blood-sucking Nazi fiends, an unscrupulous blood Sommelier, unsupportive relatives, an extremely large bathtub inside a bat cave, a Russian human servant not to be trifled with, a snuggly bat, and plenty of heart. Stake not included.

 

Note: this was originally a free short available for free in 2021. It has since been revised, rewritten, and significantly lengthened.
