What is on the Reading Radar? #WishList #TBR

What am I doing? Well, worked on the galley to Releasing Chaos this week. I wished I had more time before the release. That book is so big that I'm afraid that I've missed something. I always worry before a new release but this time I seem to be in overdrive.

On the agenda today, after I finish putting together this blog because I just love doing things like this the last minute, is to see if I can finish a flash fiction piece today for the blog tour. Tristan finds out Corleone has knocked up Dancing Socks. :) It's going to be funny.

In the meantime, here's a quick wishlist of books I'd like to read when I have time again.


Title: The Lonely Merman
Series(Landlocked Heart Book 1)
Author(s): Kay Berrisford
Length: 99 pages
Publisher: LT3 Press

Genre: Romance / Fantasy / Urban Fantasy / Gay / 

Notes: Ms. Berriford wrote another merman book that I loved to pieces, The Merman and the Barbarian Pirate.

Blurb

It's Friday afternoon, and the last thing Ben wants to be doing is trudging through a wet forest in search of a public hazard. But duty calls, and turns out more exciting than Ben imagined when he encounters a magical ruin, an enchanted pool, and Lyle—a merman who's cursed to be landlocked many miles from the sea.


Lyle is flamboyant and exciting—he's got tentacles, for goodness sake!—and Ben falls hard. But Lyle's been hurt before and finds trust difficult, refusing even to reveal how to break the curse that imprisons him. Ben's just an ordinary guy, and can't help wondering if he can ever be the hero Lyle needs.




Title: Faerie Bound
Series
Author(s): Jenna Castille
Length: 157 pages
PublisherLoose Id LLC (June 27, 2017)

Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Fantasy / BDSM / Gay / Shifters /

Notes:

Blurb

Garrick has spent the better part of his life making his Las Vegas lupin pack the strongest of all the post-war human-born paranormal groups. Now he wants something for himself--a mate. But how will his pack respond if they discover their Alpha is a closeted sexual submissive?


Not the typical faerie prince, Faolan is disobedient, lives in exile, and has more piercings than a punk band. He's also a sexual dominant longing for someone to call his own.

What are a lovelorn faerie and wolf to do? Turn to a paranormal dating service, of course. When Divine Intervention pairs Garrick and Faolan, it's a match made in BDSM heaven, and the resulting explosion a conflagration of passion the likes of which neither has ever known.

Of course, the reactions to a wolf/faerie union are just as heated...

Note: This book was previously released by another publisher.

Arael and Drasen Shaezu are descendants of the Fallens. In order to achieve Enlightenment, their kind must bond with humans. When they come to Earth in search of their bond mate, they discover that Josh is the one.

A rueful royal...

Prince Zakrom feels like everyone on Granota has found their One — their beloved for life — except him. His worried parents send him to visit Earth, hoping it will distract him from his solitude.

A diplomatic dilemma...

With the Ambassador called away on urgent business, Jen’s in a panic at being left in charge of the Prince’s visit.

BlurbFrom the visionary minds of six prolific authors comes a mesmerizing collection of dragons. 

Brutality by Michael K. Rose - For generations, the dragons have come to feed. The islanders have grown accustomed to death and destruction, but behind the creatures’ brutality lies a horrifying secret that could be the key to their ultimate defeat.

Molten Heart by Katie Salidas – She doesn’t know he’s a dragon, and Dax would prefer to keep it that way. But when another of his kind threatens to destroy Jane’s island home, Dax will have to reveal his true form, and risk losing her forever to save her.

Flame and Form by Jenna Elizabeth Johnson - When Brienne intervenes on behalf of a draghan, a wild, fire-breathing beast from the realm of Firiehn, she only means to save the creature from a fate worse than death. What Brienne doesn't realize, however, is that this monster is cru-athru, a shapeshifter capable of transforming into a man, one whose very presence heats her blood like draghan fire.

Lucidium: Rise of the Dragons by Alexia Purdy - Dragons weren’t meant to be caged. Catori must escape an ancient order bent on hunting down the last of her kind or face certain extinction.

A Cold Fire by Jason Lavelle – Jenisia was only a girl when her family was murdered before her eyes. Instead of breaking her spirit, the tragedy shaped Jenisia into a weapon, an instrument for revenge against the fierce dragon race that terrorizes their world. But despite her cunning and her skills, Jenisia might not be strong enough to face these real demons.

The Sky Hunter by David Jones - Stolen as a child and raised by an advanced race of dragons on an island in the sky, Ilana is blessed with a suit of armor that grants her extraordinary abilities.

Shifter Brock Herman is undercover alone, working to break up a poaching ring. The last thing he needs is for Connor to wreck his sting. And now the crazy bobcat just won’t go away!

The poachers lead Brock and Connor on a merry chase all over Western Colorado looking for shifter bears, but it’s a lost pup who brings them back to Nevada and the pack Sam and Gus are building. That’s when Brock has to decide whether he still travels alone or if Connor and his crazy family are where his heart belongs.
