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: Silk & Sand: An MM Fantasy Romance (Seth & Raider Book 1) by Katherine Diane
Blurb:
The only thing
worse than trekking across a dangerous desert on a nearly impossible mission?
When your guide is intolerable—and irresistible.
Seth spends his days hunting down mystical artifacts. As a Curator for the
Arcanum College, that’s his job. But when an arcanist murders a fellow scholar,
Seth finds himself assigned instead to a dusty, thirsty, frustrating manhunt.
But why him? Because, he’s been told by his superiors, he’s the
only Curator sufficiently tenacious and brutal for the job. (Seth resents
that.)
When the murderer vanishes at the edge of a deadly desert, Seth finds himself
in need of a guide. Unfortunately, the “only one crazy enough” for the job is
Raider—a man with an easy grin who is clearly a thief, liar, and rogue. (He
also has illegal quicksilver in his veins, and that arcane enhancement
positively screams “I’ve done bad things.”) The only thing worse than having to
rely on such a reprobate? Finding him irresistibly attractive.
Raider might think the manhunt a foolish endeavor, but he’s delighted by the
prospect of breaking past the barriers of the gorgeous, rigidly self-controlled
Curator. That kind of intensity needs the right outlet (and Raider has such ideas).
But Raider just might be asking for more trouble than he realizes—because he
has barriers of his own, and some very dark secrets lurking behind them.
But that’s not the only trouble looming. Because if Seth and Raider can survive
their desert journey? Seth’s manhunt will lead them into even greater dangers
and mysteries.
Silk & Sand is a high-heat fantasy adventure that will take you
to the most exotic locations and into the most twisted secrets. It will lure
you in with action, humor, and sizzling tension—and will hook your heart with
its emotional intensity and beautiful love. So be prepared to laugh, cry, and
stay up all night with these two gorgeous, complicated, irresistible men.
Contains elements of BDSM. Seth and Raider's relationship is intense and
sometimes rough but always safe.
