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

What am I doing? Writing and reading,,. and that is pretty much it.  This week's reading radar list is short because I read one book over the course of several days because I started a new crochet project that is pretty detailed. There has bee a lot of stopping and starting so I could read the pattern or consult the crochet-a-long video. 


Title: The Trouble With Love
Series: Nothing But Trouble, 2
Author: Macy Blake
Length:
Publisher: 

Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Gay /

Notes: This is offered for free at the moment. I don't know how long that will last.

Blurb: 

Vaughn Jerrick's life has changed completely. He's the adoptive alpha and father to six shifter cubs, and he's the mate to a human he loves more than life itself. There's only one problem. He's been so focused on the kids, he's forgotten to truly romance Sam. With Valentine's day approaching, Vaughn decides to give his mate a romantic evening. If only it were that simple. Chaos comes in all shapes and sizes, but Vaughn quickly realizes that the trouble with love is that it isn't any trouble at all.



Title: All He Needs
Series: (My Truth Book 1)
Author: Ann Grech
Length: 205 pages
Publisher: 

Genre: Romance / Contmeporary / Poly / Gay

Notes: 

Blurb: When a former pro-snowboarder finds himself caught between two men who have stolen his heart, it takes heartbreak and a hit of reality for him to start believing love is truly all he needs.

I didn't think it'd turn out this way: my life story in a nutshell. Life, Karma, whatever—it was testing me. Pushing me to the limit of what I could endure and beyond.

But in the steaming pile my life had become, I felt it. The spark. Like my soul met its counterparts, or whatever the corny saying was. I didn't think it was possible. For a closeted guy, falling for not one but two men was never going to be easy, but I couldn't deny its truth. Mace and Rick were….

Then I had to leave. My sister needed me. Having a baby alone was out of the question and I couldn't wait to be an uncle. But going to stay with her in Florida meant leaving them. New Zealand and the USA couldn't be further apart.

I'm not a saint. I've screwed up more times than I can count. But I was trying to redeem myself. Gracie, my niece, needed me to be a better man. If only there was a way I could have both—men to love and a family close by.

This is my truth, and this is all I need.




Title: Scorpion
Series: Memory of Scorpions, 1
Author: Aleksandr Voinov
Length: 240 pages
Publisher: 44 Raccoons (December 23, 2018)

Genre: Romance / Historical / Dark Fantasy / Gay

Notes: 

Blurb: Never stop fighting. 

Kendras is a casualty of war: injured, penniless, and quite possibly the last surviving member of the only family he’s ever had—the elite fighting force known as the Scorpions. When a steel-eyed mercenary offers him medicine and shelter in exchange for submission and a secret task, Kendras has no choice but to accept. He is a Scorpion; he’ll do whatever it takes to survive.

But his true goal is to rebuild the Scorpions. Neither Steel’s possessive nature nor Kendras’s shattered foot can keep him from finding the last of his brothers, or the mysterious leader of the Scorpions, the man who held Kendras’s heart long before Steel tried to take it for himself.

The goal is simple, the situation anything but. To rescue his leader and escape from Steel for good, Kendras must fight through a morass of politics and intrigue where enemies may be allies and even allies have hidden agendas. But Kendras isn’t only fighting for his lost lover and tribe—he soon realizes that nothing less than the birth of an Empire is at stake.


This 70,000-word novel has been previously published.



Title: A Blaze in the Dark
Series: BoT World Stories, 1
Author: Miranda Turner
Length: 120 pages
Publisher: 

Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Urban Fantasy / Gay

Notes: 

Blurb: Bain never thought he’d escape the prison he’d lived in for the last five years. He spent his days chained up like an animal, and his nights…they were better not spoken about. Until one day Antonio came stumbling into his darkness, lighting a fire in his soul and giving him a chance at a new life.

Antonio loved his position as a Bellator, and he loved his brother Luc; it was Luc’s friends he could do without. When he came upon an emaciated and beaten boy at his brother’s best friend David’s house, he knew he had to get him out of there. Risking his place on his team, his relationship with his brother, and even death was something he’d never regret. After all, Bain was Antonio’s sodalis vitae, and soulmates were forever.

The small problem of Bain being a member of the Tenebrix, the Bellators’ mortal enemies, was nothing compared to what could happen if David found out where he was. But Antonio won’t let anything—race, being hunted by his own kind, or Bain’s fears—keep him from finally claiming his mate on Valentine’s Day.


This novella is a standalone in The Bearer of Truth world and takes place three years before Shadowing the Light. Antonio and Bain do appear in The BoT series as side characters, but you do not need to have read those books to read this one or vice versa.

This book is LGBT Romance and Urban Fantasy. Not recommended for readers under 18. Use the Look Inside feature or download a sample to see additional content advisories on the Copyright page

Series: Alpha and Omega, 4
Author: Patricia Briggs
Length: 338 pages
Publisher: Ace (March 3, 2015)

Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Fantasy / Action & Adventure / Mystery /

Notes: This is the book that I have been listening to all week. Finished it last night. I like Anna and Charles. They compliment each other so well.

Blurb: Praised for having “the perfect blend of action, romance, suspense, and paranormal”*, #1 New York Times bestselling author Patrica Briggs's Alpha and Omega series now takes readers into the middle of some bad supernatural business…

For once, mated werewolves Charles Cornick and Anna Lantham are not traveling because of Charles’s role as his father’s enforcer. This time, their trip to Arizona is purely personal. Or at least their visit starts out that way...

Charles and Anna soon discover that a dangerous fae being is on the loose, replacing human children with simulacrums. The fae have started a cold war with humanity that's about to heat up—and Charles and Anna are in the crossfire.



Title: Unlit

Author: Keri Athur
Length: 404 pages
Publisher: KA Publishing PTY LTD (May 15, 2018)

Genre: Science Fiction / Action  Adventure / Romantic Elements? /

Notes: I used to read a paranormal series by her and around the time I found MM I put the series aside. I tried to go back and reread it so that I could finish it but it didn't catch. So I thought I'd perhaps try something newer.

Blurb: Winterborne has long been a city divided between those who have magic, and those who do not. Between those who are free, and those who are not…

Though classified as having no magic, Neve March can hear the whispers of the wind and sometimes even control her. But it’s a secret she must hold close if she wishes to continue as Nightwatch—the soldiers who guard Winterborne against those who roam the wastelands and feast on human flesh.

When Neve investigates a faint SOS signal, she not only unearths a woman close to death, but a plot involving an ancient enemy long thought dead.

In an effort to expose those behind the plot, Neve goes undercover amongst Winterborne’s elite—a dangerous step that could expose her secret and rip away all that she holds dear.

The trail of treachery leads her from Winterborne’s golden halls to the heart of the enemy’s hive, and it will shake her belief of not only who she is, but what she is
