What's On The Reading Radar #WishList #TBR

The last day of April. I'm really, really tired of time going by so quickly. Releasing Chaos is coming along better than it was, and with luck, I can have it finished at the end of May and start the self edits. Then I can work on Bespoken. :)

Now for the fun stuff! There's like over twenty covers and I wanted to add so many more because it was as if I found a treasure trove. But I'm holding them for next weekend.

Author(s): Angel Martinez
Length: 
Publisher: Pride Publishing?

Genre: Romance / Gay / Urban Fantasy / Police Officers /

Blurb: What good is a squad of cops with psychic abilities if all of them are defective?

Officer Kyle Monroe’s encounter with a strange gelatinous creature in an alley leaves him scarred and forever changed, revealing odd abilities he wishes he didn’t have and earning him reassignment to Philadelphia’s 77th Precinct where all the cops have defective paranormal abilities.

Just as Kyle’s starting to adjust to his fellow misfit squad mates, his new partner arrives. Tall, physically perfect, reserved, and claiming he has no broken psychic talents, Vikash Soren irritates Kyle in every way. But as much as he’d like to hate Vikash, Kyle finds himself oddly drawn to him, their non-abilities meshing in unexpected ways.

Now, if Kyle and Vikash can learn to work together, they just might be able to stop the mysterious killer who has been leaving mutilated bodies along the banks of the Schuylkill.

Blurb: Stone McKie has come back to the Black Hills, the only place he’s ever felt at home. He never expected to find a mate waiting, or that the creative omega would be terrified of him. 

Josh was raised believing that he wasn’t worth anything other than being a whipping boy for more dominant wolves. The thought of being the mate to a big, burly tattoo artist is too terrifying to contemplate, but he can’t seem to keep his distance.

When a threat from Josh’s past catches up to him, he has to turn to the one man who scares him for protection. Can Josh get past his fears and accept the love he desperately craves? Will Stone have to leave the one place he’s ever felt at home, to follow his mate?

Time hasn’t dulled the pain of losing Wiley for Aubrey, but she has to set that aside when her choices put her life and her family’s lives in real danger. The only way out is Wiley, but after so many years, Aubrey’s not sure that’s an option.

Aubrey’s first call sets off a firestorm that will take all Wiley’s experience to escape, and along the way they might find what they lost. Together they started their story under a tree, and they’ll fight to make sure it doesn’t end on the streets of New Orleans.

He's on the verge of finishing grad school, and that means putting the final touches on his number one project: HAL, a social robot and children's storytelling companion. But his best friend is leaving the country for good, his birthday's coming up, he's swamped with studying for finals, and he hasn't slept in days.
He's also going to destroy the world.

At least, his robot is, according to the possibly untrustworthy Agency, an organization whose mission is to protect the world at all costs. After his birthday party turns into a fight for his life, Dexter's simple life of fast food and Netflix binges is replaced by a glitchy oracle, the world's douchiest secret agents, and an ever-increasing chain of conspiracies.

Author(s): Marie Harte
Length: 
Publisher: Pride Publishing

Genre: Romance / Poly / Shifters / MMF / Bisexual / 

Notes:

Blurb: A cat, a demon and a bear. Oh my.

Jericho Dark Walker is a Bear, born to shift into both an animal’s and man’s form. He’s second in command to the mixed group of shifters living in the Great Forest. For years it had been his dream to see his clan reintroduced to the land of their ancestors. But now that he’s back he finds himself restless, unable to find joy in even the simplest back scratch or hive of honey. The female shifters offer little challenge, more than eager to bed the Great Clan’s beta, and with everyone getting along, there’s little more for him to do than break up the rare fight.

When an opportunity arrives to represent the clan and work with the athmae to oust an evil plaguing the outer edge of the Great Forest, he gratefully volunteers. The alpha’s brother has mated with an athmae—a demon—so Jericho thinks he knows what to expect. But his new partner is anything but typical. The athmae assigned to work with him is a male demon as large as Jericho, and just as deadly. No sex demon, but a hunter with the instincts of a true predator. So why is Jericho so taken with the male, when he has only ever felt desire for a female?

And why, when they rescue an annoying, sexy cat shifter from certain death, do his instincts scream at him to claim both the feline female and the demon as his own? Bears don’t mate outside their species, yet everything inside Jericho pushes him to do just that. A cat, a demon and a bear. Oh my.

When Ethan's best friend makes him an appointment with the mysterious Caleb, Ethan is sceptical but curious. Despite a shaky start, Ethan and Caleb connect sexually and emotionally then soon begin to wonder if Ethan has the power to break the curse by being the only one to remember Caleb after he leaves.

Length: 76k
Publisher: Pride Publishing

Genre: Erotic Romance / Gay / Steampunk / Cowboys / Western / Vampires /

Notes: Early download through publisher May 10th. General Release Date: 21st June 2016

Blurb: Halloran was meant to free them, but Asher has never known a harsher prison.

Hiring a band of outlaws to assassinate the mayor may be a bold move, but Asher Franklin can’t take another minute of bowing and scraping to the sadist who runs his hometown. Graveyards teem with the bodies of those have tried and failed to rebel against the powers that be, but the legendary Red Horn Riders hold an invaluable advantage over their predecessors. They’re already dead.

Common wisdom would have it that vampires seldom keep faith with humans, though, and The Red Horn Riders are no exception. Halloran, the ruthless bandit at the helm of the gang and Sargasso’s prospective savior, would rather claim Asher for his own than grant him the fate he deserves. His unwelcome kindness is Asher’s worst nightmare. To be chattel is bad enough. To be the property of the one vampire whose duplicity just cost the lives of Asher’s friends is so much worse.

Yet in the ungoverned deserts of the Wild West, vampires are a law onto themselves and terror comes in many forms. Halloran’s bite may be sharp, but worse foes roam the sands than Asher can begin to imagine.

Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of dubious consent, and violence.

When Rafe returns home his family is waiting for him—but there's no sign of Trint.

Author(s): Christine Warren
Length: 320 pages
Publisher: St. Martin's Paperbacks (March 1, 2016)

Genre: Romance / Fantasy / Gargoyles! /

Notes: Not sure if these can be read out of order. I snagged this one because I like the blurb and Gargoyles! I didn't realize it was a series.

What she doesn't know is that she's being watched over by a powerful protector. A legend in stone who has defended humanity throughout the ages.

And now that he has some alone time with Avery, he knows it’s his chance to get close to the other dragon.
Avery doesn’t understand what it means to completely belong to the clan, not yet at least, and what Tobit describes to him is different than anything he’s ever considered before. With Tobit there to guide him, they’ll come together to make the clan whole again.



Title: Claimed
Series : An Evan's Alphas Prequel
Author(s): DJ Heart
Length: 322 pages
Publisher:

Genre: Romance / Gay / Former Military / Contemporary / Paranormal? /

Notes: I can't tell if this is paranormal or not with all the use of alpha as if it means something specific.

Blurb: Fresh out of the Army, alpha and all around stud Chad Brand is enjoying life as a private contractor for Tank Security. That is, until he decides to go out on the town and ends up getting hit on by his boss.

Peter Tank is the ultimate alpha—bigger, stronger and more ruthless than anyone Chad has ever met—and Chad runs away with his tail between his legs before giving his intimidatingly dominant boss so much as a chance.

He just doesn’t understand. Peter is an alpha. Why would he be hitting on Chad? And why does thinking back on the encounter make Chad’s stomach feel tight and hot and fluttery? Chad can’t really be interested in another alpha—can he?

Peter Tank is in trouble. The handsome young alpha he literally sent running for the hills is a fresh recruit, and Peter just received his performance review. It’s not good.

Chad is not at all the ruthless, morally challenged kind of alpha Tank Security needs to get things done. He’s a genuinely good guy, and Peter has little use for those.

But if Peter fires Chad now, it’s going to look an awful lot like retaliation for rejecting Peter’s advances. 
Peter has no choice but to keep Chad on, and he’s going to have to keep his paws to himself. 

If only the sexy young stud didn’t make it so hard...

(This 60,000 word novel contains the story of how Peter and Chad from the Evan’s Alphas series got together. It is not necessary to have read any of the Evan’s Alphas books to understand what is going on. The story has a HEA and no cliffhanger.)

Jethro Hastings is perfectly content to live alone up in the mountains working on a secret masterpiece: a humanoid automaton that will change the scientific community forever. He’s behind schedule, and the date of the unveiling is fast approaching, so when Thomas shows up on his doorstep offering help in exchange for a mechanical hand, Jethro agrees. Time, after all, is running out on another deal he’s made: one with the devil.

The devil gives Jethro’s inventions life, but he can just as quickly take life away—Jethro’s, to be exact. As the sand in the devil’s hourglass falls, marking the time until the end of the deal, inventions go haywire, people get hurt, and Thomas realizes he needs Jethro just as much as his prosthetic. Now he must find a way to save Jethro’s soul, but negotiating with a devil is just as difficult as it sounds.

What he finds is service under Captain Christopher Knightly: a tactical genius, inveterate charmer, and the youngest son of a wealthy noble house.

Their unexpected and perilous love affair is a gamble against the odds, for in a time of war, nothing is sure to last. If the French don’t tear them apart, one slip in front of the wrong eyes or ears might. When the demands of Christopher’s family take him from Thomas’s side, he thinks it might be the best thing for his captain.

What's On The Reading Radar #WishList #TBR & #giveaway Reminder

A couple of quick side notes before I get to the good stuff. There are three giveaways still going on. The featured post (points to the right), the Five Senses Blog Tour has a free read blog post and a giveaway that ends the last day of this month.

There are two giveaways for Ruby Red that will end on the 25th: A signed paperback and some gift certificates. You can find the details HERE

And now for the good stuff. It's all over the board... which once I think about it, that's the norm. It just seemed more scattered this time around because I wasn't sure what I wanted to read. Here lately, unless I see the cover with the title, I've been just skimming as I look through the books. Titles are a big thing when book searching. I should probably blog about catchy titles but I think it's already been done. :)

The Avanti have made their way to Berinias, the capital and heart of Landran society. Not only is it King Kastain’s home ground, but it’s the seat of the Conclave's power.

Dax finally gets to see Kastain in all his glory— regal, confident, powerful and downright sexy. As events unfold, Dax and Kastain realize everything happening with the Derin, with Martellon, Nestor and Teriva, is linked. Their enemies draw closer and the plots and machinations of the Conclave deepen. They just need to work out who is behind it all and what they hope to gain.

Kastain finds himself turning to Dax, the one person he seems to be able to count on more than anything. The bond between the two leaders is stronger than they expected, and they long for rare times alone so they can explore it. Instead their time is taken up trying to work out which Chieftains they can count on and who is attempting to undermine them at every turn.

When plots and betrayals run deep within the heart of the capital, who will succeed and who will pay the ultimate price?

Damaged by her past and convinced Airen is out of her league, Abby is determined to keep their relationship platonic.

ER doctor Dusty Lowry grew up in a conservative rural Texas family that has never quite forgiven him for staying in New Mexico after his stint in the Army. Paramedic Nate Miller, Dusty’s best friend since their early Army days, has a hippie momma, a tiny apartment, and is in lust with his buddy. When their other Army friend, Kyle, gets married, they start thinking about settling down. In fact, they both know what they want: each other. Too bad they’ve never shared that goofy little fact.

Series :
Author(s): Pepper Winters
Length: 
Publisher:

Genre: Romance / Contemporary / Enemies to Lovers /

Notes: Releases in July 2016

Blurb: From the New York Times Bestseller Pepper Winters comes a snarky standalone full of romance.

They say the key to a good relationship is one with no drama.
They say you’re not trying hard enough or married the wrong person if you fight. 
Sorry, but I call bulls***.

I’ve had plenty of relationships: some sweet, some happy, most an utter failure.

Until I met Harriet.

Our first conversation was an argument. Our second conversation was an argument. Our entire connection was based on…yep, an argument. We tore up the rules of chance encounters and polite first meeting etiquette. And after the week I’d had, I was ready for a punch-up. Hell, I craved one. And Harriet was there to antagonise me.

The first time we met, we spent every hour from dusk to dawn, arguing. And when the sun rose, neither of us wanted to stop.
Because there was something so refreshing about being honest. Saying exactly what you thought. Picking faults just because you itched to fight.

It was only supposed to be one night. A night where the town was our battlefield, the clubs a microphone to our bickering, and the stars a listener to our squabbles.

Only…I wasn’t ready to say goodbye.

You see, arguing turned out to be the best damn thing I’d ever experienced.

So, instead of agreeing to the terms we’d set, I revoked them. I went home with her. I refused to leave. And our argument turned into something so much more than a random quarrel. It turned into war and our love wasn’t sweet…it was hostile.
