Teaser Tuesday




 Teaser from book 2 of Dragons of San DeLain



Time dragged as they waited for Connie, and Hudson was becoming more and more uncomfortable.

“Thank Gaura,” Hudson said softly when Connie walked into the kitchen.

Kit stiffened.

Eyebrow raised, Hudson studied Kit’s reaction. Okay, what was that about?

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:  Kindred Spirits: M/M Paranormal Fantasy Monster Romance by L Eveland

(I read the last book first again lol)



Blurb: 

I ain’t afraid of no ghost…But tentacle monsters are another story.

For the last year, I’ve been living with an invisible monster who steals my snacks, turns off my electricity, and runs off all my dates. As annoying as that is, he’s my only companion, and the only one I trust with my deepest, darkest secret.

I’m not human.

Then again, neither is my new roommate, and he and ESCU have history. Not the good kind either. But since he seems to think we’re mates, his problems are now mine. I’m certainly not going to argue, especially since he’s got a razor-sharp teeth and claws. But hey, I’m into that so it works out…

Until my estranged father leads ESCU right to my doorstep. Now, I have a choice: either hand over my pizza roll loving tentacle monster boyfriend, or turn myself in to save him.

I knew I shouldn’t have gone to work today.

Kindred Spirits is the sixth book in the Monsters in My Bed series, which should be read in order. Expect a book with plenty of found family, a scary looking tentacle monster who’s a squishy cinnamon roll on the inside, monster anatomy, and a sweet himbo human (sort of) with ADHD and a sugar addiction.

Within moments Hudson to be standing in front of Kit’s door. He knocked, and it swung open.

Kit looked tired and annoyed. That was Hudson’s first thought. “Kit? Is everything okay?”

“It’s fine.” Kit walked past Hudson into the hallway, the guest room door swinging shut behind him. 

Hudson’s instincts roared awake. Whatever was going on, it was indeed not ‘fine’.

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 and Mind Games: Orc/Elf MM Fantasy Adventure by Emily Brandish


Blurb:

The monsters are winning. Tentacled, brain-eating gyle have unleashed a full-scale invasion, and humanity is helpless against their mind-control powers

When novice elf mage, Ambrose, is commissioned by the King to halt the invasion, he thinks there must be a mistake—he’s wildly underqualified. Fortunately, he’s paired up with Kilgore the Conqueror, a brooding orcish war hero Ambrose has secretly been thirsting over for years.

Unfortunately, their mission is headed by Grist—a sociopathic gyle traitor who’s as cruel as he is clever. The manipulative gyle can read his companions’ every thought, and enjoys torturing Ambrose and Kilgore with their darkest secrets and forbidden attraction to each other. The trio has only seven days to save the world, but they must learn to trust each other first.

Monsters & Mind Games is an exciting MM fantasy adventure with complex characters, plot twists, and a wickedly funny villain that will keep you guessing right up to the happily ever after.


(Note: This standalone novel is intended for mature readers.)

“How long do you think it’ll take him to get back?”

“He went to his cabin, which is located within the compound. It shouldn’t take him more than fifteen minutes to get back here.”

“Good. I’ll text him right now,” Kit said. “I’ll see you shortly.”

“See you soon.” Hudson disconnected the call and stared at his cell. There was something wrong with Kit. Hudson’s dragon rumbled unhappily in agreement.

This week is: These Silent Stars: A Dark MM Sci-Fi College Enemies to Lovers Romance by Chani Lynn Feener



Blurb: 

Rin Varun’s got something to hide.


That’s a lie. He’s got several things. Traveling to a different galaxy was meant to make his life less complicated, but a year in on this new planet and he’s still fighting off his demons. There’s no better place to learn how to keep skeletons buried than the Academy, where they teach their cadets how to uncover them, and Rin is determined to graduate in order to ensure those demons stay hidden. He doesn’t want to stand out, doesn’t want accolades, or high marks. He just wants to coast by unnoticed, and he’s doing a decent job until he draws the attention of the Devil Prince.


Kelevra Diar doesn’t do disguises.


Who would bother with a mask when they have a face as tantalizing as his? As the Imperial Prince Third in line for the throne, Kel’s used to getting anything and everything he wants faster than he can raise his hand to snap his fingers. The drawback to this is even murder has lost its intrigue, and there’s nothing more dangerous than a bored Devil of Vitality. Then a cadet catches his eye and suddenly things are starting to look interesting again. Rin is unlike anyone Kelevra’s ever known, with monsters hiding under his bed that might rival Kel’s sociopathic nature.


When Kelevra decides to make it his mission to draw those monsters out to play, Rin unsurprisingly resists, but that only makes him more invested. Suddenly the impulsive prince realizes he’s in this for the long haul, even if that means forcing Rin’s hand through an arranged betrothal. Rin has no idea why Kel has taken such an intense interest in him, but no matter what he tries, he can’t shake free of him. The sex between them may be explosive, and Kelevra may be the most attractive person he’s ever seen, but is that enough for Rin to drop his guard and reveal all his secrets?


Trigger Warning: This is a stand-alone dark romance which means there are many themes that some might find disturbing. Some of these include, but are not limited to, dub-con, violence, a seriously obsessed male lead who's been spoiled his entire life, and explicit sexual content not suitable for all readers. Please be sure to read the Author's Note for a complete list of warnings! HEA guarantee! Though this book takes place on the same planet as Echo and Call of the Sea, each of these is a stand-alone with no reading order and general plots that take place all around the same timeframe.

"Monday night is also the meeting with the other paranormal leaders of San DeLain.”

“I know.”

“By the way, have I told you how much it means to my dragon that you're giving him a place for his hoard?” Connie looked up from his cell phone.

“Whatever I can do to make you comfortable, sweetheart,” Hudson said, taking Connie’s hand. “I want my home to be yours and Kit’s too. Combining three lives isn’t going to be easy, but we’ll make it work.”
