Thursday Book Recommendation (on a Friday lol)
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: Reckless (Leather & Chrome Book 1) by Kiki Clark
Blurb:
Ride hard. Love harder. Live recklessly.
Tank is done with his old life. All it's brought him is trouble and misery in the form of a four-year prison term. Though he did find one good thing while behind bars: Charles "CJ" Crane, pen pal extraordinaire.
After months of exchanging increasingly personal letters, Tank knows exactly where he's headed as soon as the prison gates open. CJ doesn't know he's coming, and he's not sure what he'll say when he gets there, but he knows one thing for certain.
The promises he and his boy made to each other in their letters may have been reckless, but he's willing to risk everything he’s got on finding out if what they have could be real.
Reckless is the first book in the Leather & Chrome series and features a motorcycle club's annual charity ride, a possessive biker whose new favorite color is pink, a twenty-four-year-old overly eager to experience his first time, and an excessive appreciation for perfectly lined tattoos.

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.
“I’ll start,” Hudson said. “Do you remember when you saw me
partially transformed in your bookshop? That was the first time I’d actually
met you in person.”
“Yes, I remember.” How could he not? That wasn’t something
he’d ever forget. It ranked right up there with seeing Kage step out the
shadows.
“I’m a thousand years old, Kit. I rarely lose control of
myself like that,” Hudson said, running a hand through his hair. “But seeing
you? I lost control. Your scent hit me like a nuclear bomb, and my dragon
reacted. I got myself under control pretty quick, but it was a near thing.”
“So you got a whiff of me and knew I was your mate?” Was
that a line? It seemed like a pickup line.
But they didn’t need to pick him up. He was a sure thing
and had told them so. So, what was the point in lying about what he was to
them? There wasn’t one.
Lord, there wasn’t one. But Hudson saying Kit’s scent threw
him into a partial transformation seemed to be a bit much, but what did he
know.
“Simplistically speaking? Yes,” Hudson answered.

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.

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.

Thursday Book Recommendation
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.

Kit snorted. When the time was right? Right for whom? Yeah,
he’d heard that one before.
“But I’m the one who is responsible for this, not Connie.
It was my decision not to tell you yet,” Hudson said, taking a step toward Kit,
holding his hand out.
Kit pointed his finger at Hudson. “No. We’re not getting
all touchy-feely until I get some answers.” Every time they touched him, he
lost his mind. “Start talking.”
“Why don’t we sit down? In fact, I think I need caffeine
for this conversation. Kit? Please?” Connie asked. “Obviously, you’re upset—”
“Pissed is the term you’re looking for,” Kit snapped.
