What's on the Reading Radar? #WishList #TBR

I was looking at my book buying over the last 3-4 months and made a decision to only buy 1-2 books a month until the end of the year. Hopefully, this will encourage me to read things that I have had forever!! I was/am spending a ton (Holy, crap! A TON!) of money. That one-click with Amazon is killing me and I need to save money so that I can go to GRL, you know? So for the rest of the year, I will have more books go on my wish list than my TBR pile. Reading Radar might become Reading the Back List. LOL!!

Just kidding! 

Well, maybe not. 

This is going to be hard!



Title: Rob the Daemon

Author(s): Brad Vance

Publisher: 

Genre: Romantic Elements / Contemporary / Paranormal / Demons / Gay /

Notes: 

Blurb: When Sol meets Rob Sabat at the ski resort, it’s magic…literally. But their hot sexy romance could be short-lived, because Rob is really Barbatos, immortal daemon, cursed by an evil magician to spend the eight months of Daylight Savings Time buried underground. So now it’s up to Sol, descendant of King Solomon, the original daemon wrangler, to break the curse on his beloved. And to do that, he’ll have to become a sorcerer himself, maybe the greatest sorcerer ever. He’ll need Rob’s help, of course, as well as that of his faithful sidekick Celia – who just happens to be the descendant of the Queen of Sheba –and his dog Gary, once Sol understands Dogspeak. But daemons are a dangerous lot, and Sol’s experiments with the power may unleash and unlock more things under the earth than just Rob…

Genre: Romance / Fantasy / Paranormal / Gay /

Notes: 


Blurb: Miles, a powerful mage, thinks life is right where he wants it. With a werewolf, a witch, and a demon in his house, what could go wrong? When fifteen people die at the same time in different locations, things start to look a bit bleak. The police are looking for someone to help, someone worthy of helping, but instead they get stuck with Miles and his demon Havoc, whose weakness is any woman that looks his way. They have been together for hundreds of years and, when things start to go wrong, they may be the only two that can save humanity. Which is really sad because they’re definitely not cut out to save humanity. When an attack leaves Miles’s life in Havoc’s hands the two start to question if there’s something more between them other than three hundred years of bickering. Along with a forest spirit, a perverted minotaur, and the two human detectives (that wish they’d have asked for help from anyone else), Miles and Havoc try to find the answer to their happy ending. No, not that happy ending you pervert. Okay maybe there’s that kind of happy ending too.

As an oath breaker, Rafe has suffered the ultimate punishment – identity wipe – but luckily for him, there's no one else around qualified for the job. Shunned by his previous shipmates, Rafe is ready to keep his head down and do his job, but his competence quickly earns him respect, admiration, and, in one particular case, love.

It's difficult to maintain the glow of acceptance however, when his past is chasing him across the galaxy in the shape of an assassin, intent on dealing once and for all with Rafe, whatever the cost.

Publisher: LT3 Press

Genre: Romance / Sci-Fi / Non-binary / Gay / 

Notes: Available for pre-order. The Release Date is September 26th


Blurb: When Fold pilot Diego is assigned to space station Mikesi, he expects his biggest problem will be boredom, even if it is circling a recent First Contact alien home world. Much of the Human speculation aboard the place revolves around the mystery of Antho females, as all those encountered so far seem to be male. Being gay, it's not a question Diego gives a lot of consideration.

All his attention is soon taken, anyway, by station admin Portya. Though they have many physical differences, they also have enough in common that Diego is confident they'll get along just fine—and they do. The sex isn't just amazing, it's addicting.

Until Portya winds up pregnant, a surprise for which Diego was not remotely prepared.




Title: Bone and Bourbon
Series:  
Author(s): Dorian Graves
Length: 268 pages
Publisher: NineStar Press (April 23, 2018)

Genre: Romance / Urban Fantasy / Fantasy / Gay /

Notes: 


Blurb: Half-huldra Retz Gallows is having an awful day. First, he wakes up in the middle of driving to who-knows-where with an angry unicorn head in his passenger seat. This is almost normal, thanks to a lifetime of sharing a body with Nalem, a bone-controlling spirit with a penchant for wicked schemes and body-stealing joyrides. It’s probably a bad idea to ask what else could go wrong.

Jarrod Gallows left home with plans to rescue his little brother from possession. Instead, he got saddled with a dead-end job as a paranormal investigator, a Faerie curse, and a daredevil boyfriend who might be from another world. At least he’s got a new job—except why is his brother Retz here and why does this sudden reunion feel more like a bane than a blessing?

This day’s going to get worse for the Gallows brothers before it gets better. To survive, they’ll have to escape the forces controlling them, as well as the wrath of carnivorous unicorns, otherworldly realms, and even their own parents. Only time will tell if they’ll make it out alive…or sober.

Notes: 


Blurb: Nate~

With the world in chaos around us, the only thing I could do was try to keep Felix safe as we searched for our older brother. We’d been traveling for over two years, searching Ministry camp after Ministry camp and trying to steer clear of the Rebels. I didn’t know what to do when we ran into a whole group of shifters with guns. But then, the huge, gorgeous guy that found us did the unthinkable…

Tre~


At first I thought the two young shifters were trying to sneak up on me, but I soon realized they were only passing through. I was going to send them on their way until I heard the others coming. What was I supposed to do? How else was I supposed to save them? The delicious man and his brother would’ve been killed had I not claimed him.

Will Nate and Tre be able to work together to keep themselves and their packmates alive? Or will they let the cruelty of the outside world tear them apart?

***How We Survive is the first book in the Reclaiming Hope series, but is a standalone novel. Each book in the series will feature a different couple, but the couples will show up throughout the series. It’s a paranormal shifter romance between two men with explicit language and graphic sex intended for Adults Only.***




Title: Lonewolf
Series:  
Author(s): JL Merrow
Length: 26 pages
Publisher: 

Genre: Paranormal / Gay / 

Notes: This is a free read. 


Blurb: Sex with a stranger can be riskier than you know… particularly if that stranger turns out to be a werewolf. A companion to — or appetiser for — my novel Camwolf.

Two years ago a casual encounter in Stuttgart left Carl changed forever. He thought he could handle being a werewolf—until he passed the curse on to his English lover, Nick Sewell.

Now Carl's come back to Germany to look for answers from the man who made him a monster. But Stefan's disappeared, and in his place Carl finds Christian, who may have as much to hide as Carl does—or even more.

This is a short story in the same universe as Camwolf, but with different main characters. If you've read the novel you may recall that Nick Sewell was turned into a werewolf three years before the start of Camwolf by his then lover, Carl Fisher. This is Carl's story, and it's a dark little tale.

Lion shifter Cameron Wright has been hired to get back the money loaned to Adrian Miller—a werewolf struggling to make ends meet—any way he can. But when he goes to the Vegas club where Adrian works, he doesn't count on the intense attraction he feels for either Adrian or the wolf shifter's lover, Jaxon Marshall, who works as a dancer. Things quickly heat up between the three of them in ways Cameron never expected. But the secret he's keeping from his new lovers, the lies and shady things he's doing to get the money, make it impossible to deal with his growing feelings for them. Cameron knows he is betraying the two shifters...but how can he tell them the truth without losing them forever?

Adrian might not have much, but he has Jaxon, the tiger shifter he loves more than anything. He’s struggling to pay back a big loan from Jaxon's brother, a shifter with a dark reputation, but he's determined to make good. And things start looking up in the relationship department when the quiet-but-sexy Cameron walks into the club. Jaxon has no qualms about threesomes, and they are both eager to bring the new shifter into their lives...and their bed. The three of them spend wild nights together, but the closer Adrian and Jaxon get to Cameron, the more pain the man seems to feel. There is a secret looming over them that threatens to destroy the passion they share...and they may discover it sooner than any of them want.
