Blurb: Discovery is Book 1.
Living in Montana and working the ranch is all Aaron wants to do for the rest of his life. Diagnosed as allergic to the sun thirteen years previous, every day is a struggle to get out of bed. Having to wear long-sleeved shirts, gloves, and even material to cover his face from the effects of the sun, just makes it all worse. Now, in his thirty-second year, he is sure this will be his last summer. While he hates it, he knows he needs to come to terms with the truth and put things in order for his younger cousins. Before he does so, he heads out for one night of pleasure before facing what’s coming.
Jaret loves excitement and new adventures. For over five hundred years, he has sought them out. In Montana on a whim, he comes across someone he doesn’t expect, someone who makes him feel things he does not understand and does not want to give up. In no time at all, he feels like he cannot live without Aaron. The only problem is Aaron doesn’t know who he is, what he is, nor that he isn’t going to die. Not on Jaret’s watch. With a plan to help the other man discover who he is in place, he only has one thing to worry about: whether an ancient enemy will come and destroy everything he now holds dear.
Warning: This book is a paranormal m/m romance with some horror elements. It also crosses cowboy and vampire genres. If you don’t think cowboys look hot with fangs, you’re missing out.

Series: A Magical Romantic Comedy (with a body count)
Author: RJ Blain
Length: 264 pages
Publisher: Pen & Page Publishing; 6 edition (January 30, 2017)
Genre: Urban Fantasy / Black C4-Eating-Unicorn / Romantic Elements / Humor /
Notes: When I think of romantic comedies, I think of despicable people doing terrible things to others that is supposed to be funny but is just mean spirited. This is Nothing like that. The humor is situational and sometimes self-deprecating, sometimes unrequited lust. This is a romance but the sex is fade to black which did not detract from the story. There was enough banter that it did not need those scenes. I like it so much that I immediately picked up the next book in the series.
Blurb: What do you get when you mix gorgons, an incubus, and the Calamity Queen? Trouble, and lots of it.
For Bailey, catering to the magical is a tough gig on a good day, but she has few other options. She can either keep spiking drinks with pixie dust to keep the locals happy, or spend the rest of her life cleaning up some of the world’s nastiest magical substances.
Years after helping Police Chief Samuel Quinn escape an unhappy marriage, Bailey is once again entangled in his personal affairs. To make matters worse, Quinn’s ex-wife is angling for revenge, tossing Bailey into the deep end along with her sexiest enemy.
Warning: This novel contains excessive humor, action, excitement, adventure, magic, romance, and bodies. Proceed with caution.

Notes:
Blurb: Eager for a challenge to keep him out of trouble, Max goes undercover in the search for Griffin’s brother, Michael. But finding the omega and rescuing him are two very different things. When he learns Michael is about to be sold to Griffin’s enemies, Max has to do something before it’s too late.
There are worse lives than the one Michael is living. He gets to be close to his kids, Ryan and Eliot, who matter more to him than anything. He’ll do whatever he can to stay with them, even if it means playing nanny for the alpha and beta he’s a surrogate for, even when the resentful beta treats him no better than a slave. It’s all worth it to be with his boys.
When a new guard arrives at the house, Michael tries to keep out of his way and out of trouble. But trouble finds him all the same. Dragged unwillingly from his life by Max, he’s torn away from his kids with the promise of being reunited with his brothers. When Max is injured during the escape, Michael winds up trapped with a protective, near-feral bear in the middle of nowhere with no idea what to do next.
Max’s past and present collide when he’s injured, leaving a blank slate where his memory should be and a scared omega by his side. All he knows is that Michael is his to protect, and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep him safe from the people chasing them.
