But it’s my husband’s birthday and we’re having cheesecake so it’s not all bad. LOL. UPDATE! The rain has started, and its very heavy.

Just Another Day At The Morgue

https://books2read.com/JustANotherDay

Seeing spirits is one thing, but feeling the pain of their death is an experience best left alone. Restless spirits, a ghost dog, and two men connected to the spirit world. What could go wrong? Bran Tanda works at the hospital morgue despite the fact he can see and hear all the spirits that tend to congregate there. He wants to help them, even if they terrify him with their aggressive tactics to get him to acknowledge their existence.

Jordan Amid is Bran’s assistant. He’s reluctant to interact too much with the dead since he can feel all the pain from their death and the confusion they’re left with. But he’s drawn to work there with Bran, and his ghost dog Buddy. Bran and Jordan are thrown into a world where things are changing, and without their help everyone will suffer the dead. Stronger together than separately, they’ll both need to face their fears and find the strength they’ll need to fight the evil forces that threaten them and all of humanity. #MMParanromal #UrbanFantasy #Necromancer #PsychicEmpath #GayRomance

Randy Miller is living his dream come true. His cookie business has taken off since he started it just before Christmas, and he’s in love. He never thought he’d find the love he’d always dreamed of with someone he’d known his whole life, and who he’d always thought of as competition.

Eli Canton is happier than he’s ever been. He’s living with Randy, the love of his life. They spend their nights getting to know each other better, and baking when they’re not distracted by each other. He’s proud to know Randy’s business is as successful as it is, and he’s more than willing to help him make it even better.

When Valentine’s Day rolls around, both Randy and Eli want to surprise each other. They’ve only been together a few months, but neither can imagine loving someone else the way they love each other. If they can both pull off their plans, Valentine’s Day could be even more exciting than Christmas was, and definitely full of more surprises. #friends to lovers #Gay Romance #Holiday Romance

Life for young Henry Adams was lonely, mundane, and just plain sad. His only friend, a unicorn stuffie named Merlin, was always nearby and ready anytime Henry needed a hug. By day, Henry was the owner of Turn the Page bookstore, but at night he was a lonely boy who dreamt of having a Daddy of his own.

One lost boy, two struggling daddies, and a stuffie named Merlin. Do they have what it takes to make each other whole? To become a family. Or were they wasting their time searching for something that wasn’t there?

Two Dad’s for Henry is an #MMM, best friends to lovers, hurt/comfort, #agegap, family life romance.

Cover model: Logan Blackthorn

Photographer: Wander Aguiar

Cover artist: Morningstar Ashley

Josh Gray has made bad decisions and regretted them all, but it’s the rock ‘n roll lifestyle, so no problem, right? However, karma is a bitch.

Mistake one…sleeping with the then boyfriend of the lead singer of one of the top bands, Social Sinners, which leads to Josh being fired as Ryder Hampton’s backup guitarist.

Mistake two…signing on with Nicholas Shane Management, who promises a new band that’s the perfect fit. It turns out Nick is dealing dirty, and his company collapses when he’s sent to prison.

Josh’s world is in ruins and starting over is next to impossible. Word gets around that he’s screwed over rock ‘n roll’s poster children, and he can’t get an audition. The future is now an endless stream of empty whisky bottles, and a surly server that no matter how hard Josh tries, refuses to sleep with him.

If you’ve read the Social Sinners or Maiden Voyage series, you’ll understand the tough road that lies ahead for Josh. Is redemption possible, or should he just throw in the towel and walk away once and for all?

Strike a Chord is book one in the Chaotic Abyss rockstar romance series featuring hurt/comfort, second chances, and a bartender who just wants to be left alone.

A Little for Christmas! Blaine’s Secret

Blaine is in need of a Daddy. He sees a flyer for a Christmas mixer and bravely calls for both himself and his foster brother Davie. Daddy Jacob and his BFF Daddy Caleb are the organizers for the mixer and are both smitten with the boys. Jacob and Blaine cannot stay away from each other, and they fall fast and hard. On top of all this, Blaine has a secret about both him and Davie. The spice is just right, and the HEA is adorable.

Each book in A Little Christmas is a standalone. But each boy is silly, unique, lovable, and downright adorable, so why not read them all?

This book is part of A Little Christmas: Season Two 2023 multi-author series with themes loosely based on the classic book A Secret Garden.

Review from Kurtis:

Fired for Flirting!

This book was enjoyable. It was a lighthearted read. The main characters were well crafted and the sex not over the top. Daddy Baranov has a hard shell but a soft interior, and looks after all his employees and family, but he has fallen in love with a new dancer Danny. Both Danny and Daddy Baranov have family issues they need to work out. Daddy Baranov is a self-made millionaire that owns a number of Nightclubs, strip joints and casinos. Danny is a college student studying dance with a non-supporting abusive father. There is room for a full series of spin off books based on the characters in the book that need their own stories.

Available on KU, Audio, and Paperback!

Daniel is part of A Daddy for Christmas, a multi-author series. All the books are standalones, but each Daddy has a unique gift for his wonderful boy (or boys). Except all boys know that sometimes Santa gets it wrong, and it’s going to take a very special Daddy to make it right. So why not stay and read them all?

Walker Remington hates the holiday season. He didn’t always feel that way, but tragedy has a way of changing things and making a man bitter. Carols, lights, the sight of people with their packages and bags all tip him over into Bah Humbug mode, that is, until Ajay comes along. With his piercings and wildly colored hair, he is everything Walker is not. Young, fun-loving, and on the hunt for a Daddy, something Walker has been before, and longs to be again, if only he’ll stop sabotaging every chance he’s offered.

A street musician longing to hit it big someday, Ajay McKerran sets up on corners all over the city, playing his guitar and bringing joy to people, especially with the carols he sings. When a chance meeting lands him a gig playing at a dinner club for kink-minded individuals, he never imagined it would land him in a space where he could safely explore things he’s long desired. But is Walker the right Daddy for him or will the man prove to be as cold as the Baltimore winter Ajay ventures out to play in?

Each book in A Little Christmas is a standalone. But each boy is silly, unique, loveable, and downright adorable so why not read them all?

❤️ Coming 🧡February 💛 14th 💚 Be 💙 MY 💜 Little ❤️‍ Valentine: 🔥 Shanny’s 💕 Surprise 💞 an 💓 MMM 💗 Daddy 💖 Pup 💘 And 💝 Boy 💟 romance 💗 story 💗 available 💓 for 💓 preorder 💞 now! 💞

As Happy Holidays gives way to Happy Valentine’s Day, the stockings in the window displays are replaced with hearts: big hearts, little hearts, orange, pink, and purple hearts, candy hearts, paper hearts, heart-shaped pillows, and stuffed teddy bears holding giant heart-shaped messages making declarations of love and loyalty.

Too bad Chocolate makes Shanny hyper, and most flower bouquets make him sneeze. Besides, the sight of them wilting and starting to die has always seemed like the wrong kind of message on Valentine’s Day and the wrong kind of metaphor for love.

He’s messy and a bit of a hot mess all the way around, but he’s got an amazing group of friends who have been more family to him than the one he was born into ever was, though he longs for someone special who won’t mind letting him be the kid he never got to be. He thought that could be Tiny, but lately, his big friend has been frustrated with him.

Can the addition of Riggs, a large, fiercely protective man with a soft spot for misfits, be just the bridge Tiny and Shanny have been missing? Can the fierce pup and the boy he adores find the perfect person to care for them both, or will Rigg’s heart prove to be only be big enough for one of them?
