What is on the Reading Radar? #WishList #TBR

What am I doing? Well... I need to be working on the next chapter of Assassin's Retirement but I'm feeling a bit lazy today. I have worked on Constant all week. I've worked the last three or four weekends, I think I need a day to two to myself.

Blurb: A wolf shifter who values his solitude...and the fox shifter who just ended it...

Wolf shifter Gabriel Mendoza is not the nicest person in the world. Far from it. The former mercenary just wants peace and quiet in his forest cabin. But after the last job almost killed him, he thinks he's earned a little peace and quiet in his forest cabin.

And that's what he had...until Shin Tarumi came into his life. The fox-shifter Gabriel finds trespassing on his property is undeniably his mate. Normally he'd run off any trespasser, but his wolf has other ideas. Gabriel wants Shin like he's never wanted anything else. And he won't stop until he convinces the small fox to be his.

Shin Tarumi was perfectly happy living his life with a few friends and the occasional relationship. He believed he didn't need much else in his life. But a confrontation with a sexy lone wolf has suddenly smashed that belief to pieces. Sure, the wolf shifter might be interested in him, but Shin also has a history. He's not sure if he's willing to give up his hard-earned freedom to settle down with a giant wolf mate. But when old enemies show up looking for vengeance, more than their love is suddenly in danger...

Reader note: contains shapeshifters, paranormal, and M/M romance elements including male male love and a happily ever after. Can be read as a stand-alone or as part of the Lake Valley Shifters series

An interstellar fugitive.

For Jaime Bashir, born with the ability to communicate telepathically with computers, his gifts are more of a curse. They also make him a target. On the run, he finds himself among a starship crew, one transporting a mysterious cargo. Even more intriguing is Rylan, the muscled guard watching his every move. Jaime has no reason to trust him, but nowhere else to turn.

A disgraced ex-soldier.

Rylan Slate is looking to leave his past behind. Joining a crew of smugglers is one way to do it. But capturing Jaime is both an opportunity and a danger. He starts out as a prisoner, but then becomes something more, testing loyalties in ways Rylan never expected. Will regaining his honor mean betraying Jaime?

Serrai never declared his feelings, but his love for Madan was just as fierce. And quietly, in his heart, he swore his own sword oath: to die with Madan.

Until a battlefield death leaves both oaths broken, and two men fighting for a future that doesn’t see them forever parted.
