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

I've been having a hard time sinking into any story and been sampling like a Boss this last week. I'm about ready to hit up the library's virtual stacks to see what they have available. I've also been reading a lot of blurbs. There are some upcoming books that look awesome, but most release dates aren't right now. Ha! Ha! But, the BOM club I'm in had a bunch of manga and Yaoi that I'm considering and I picked up a couple of audiobooks that I'm working on. 

Title: In Wulf's Clothing
Series: (Banished Book 1)
Author: BA Tortuga
Length: 225 pages

Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Werewolf Shifter / Gay / Second Chances / 

Notes: I've been seeing a lot of people requesting shifter romances without mpreg. I'm about 1/3 through on the audiobook and rooting for the guys. 

Blurb:

When werewolf Trey is banished from Lobo Canyon, scarred and bleeding, he vows never to come back. His best friend with benefits, Cory Benally, never expects to see him again, for sure, so it comes as quite a shock when Trey shows up for the pack alpha’s wedding. The alpha is Trey’s brother, and sheriff Cory’s boss, and when they’re thrown together Cory isn’t sure what the heck to do.

Now a famous clothing designer who goes by Wulf, Trey doesn’t care what anyone thinks of him. He’s there to do the dresses and suits for his brother’s wedding, and Cory can go take a flying leap. Except he and Cory still have the same sizzling chemistry. And the love. When danger lurks around the corner for Trey, Cory has to protect him, and prove this time he’s willing to fight for Trey’s love, no matter what.

Title: The Earl and the Executive
Series: Imperial Space Regency, 1
Author: Kai Butler
Length: 

Genre: Slow Burn Romance / Space Regency!! / Gay /

Notes: I about broke a nail hitting the pre-order button for this book. It releases April 6th. I have never read this author but Space Regency y'all. Just give me more!

Blurb: An impoverished earl...

Tiral Oican has inherited his brother’s title, estate, and the tremendous debt his brother took out before his unexpected death. There is only one option to save the estate and all the people who are now depending on him: marry a rich heir who is willing to pay off the debt in exchange for Tiral’s title.

Now, scholarly Tiral must transform himself into a seductive fortune hunter. The only way he can see through the mess is by hiring a tutor in love. It’s too bad that Zev is so good at his job that Tiral is falling for him.

And a rich entrepreneur...

To protect his heart, Zev Laft has spent years fooling the ton into believing he’s no more than an entertaining flirtation. He just didn’t expect the ruse to work so well that the newest penniless earl to arrive on Lus for the season would assume him a demimonde and try to hire him to be his instructor in courtship.

Now one of richest men in the empire finds himself struggling to keep up the façade, when his own heart is being taken by a man he has no intention of marrying.

The Earl and the Executive is a slow burn stand alone 90,000 word MM Regency Romance Novel set in space with a HEA.



Title: King's Killer
Series: (The Kings of Men MC Book 1)
Author: Ki Brightly & MD Gregory
Length: 255 pages

Genre: Romance / Contemporary / Motorcycle Clubs / Questionable Morals / Gay /

Notes: I have been circling this series for a little while. I read a slew of meh/blek het MC club books last year that put me off this niche genre for a while. I listened to the audiobook sample and caved. 

Blurb: Walking the Line Between Good and Evil

Physician’s assistant by day, doctor to the Kings of Men MC by night. Grant Arthur’s life is tough to balance, but he does what he can to help his brother, Aaron “King” Arthur, the president of the motorcycle club. Trapped as an outsider to the club by his brother for safety, Grant prefers the quiet life, until the Kings visit him in the middle of the night with an injured member. With them is Kai Woodrow, rugged and dangerous, who Grant can’t tear his gaze from.

A Killer Who Gave Away His Heart
Reaper kills for a living. He’s the man King calls when he needs to send a gruesome message. Unfortunately, Reaper’s also human, and has all the needs of a man. He’s been in love with Grant since they shared a foster home as teens, but he knows how protective King is. Reaper could never betray his president and friend, even if Grant’s the only one who sees him as Kai. He settles with quietly stalking Grant, until one night they bring him an injured club member.

One Wild Night
When Grant is nearly hurt, Kai can’t resist living in the moment, even if it’s bound to get him killed by King—or someone worse. The world doesn’t stop turning because he finally kissed Grant, but with any illegal motorcycle club, trouble comes along for the ride. When Grant is kidnapped, Kai would move heaven and hell to find him, and destroy the people who took him.

For better or worse, Takaomi and Kazumasa are to be wed. And how lucky they are, because love blossoms between the two of them. Just as you would think everything is going great, though, it's back to the unforgettable problem... They both like to be on top!

Title: City of Crows Boxset
Series: Books 1-5
Author: Clara Coulson
Length: 1444 pages

Genre: Urban Fantasy / Bisexual MC

Notes: This is more like a note to myself to catch up on this series. This is a fun series where we learn along with Cal about this new world. Cal is Bi but this is not a romance, though he does have relationships with both men and women the intimacy is off page. I've read the first three and I really like the storyline, I just got side tracked waiting for new releases. 

Blurb: There are gods and monsters and horrors galore prowling the streets of Aurora, Michigan, and Cal Kinsey is determined to stop them—or at least flip them the bird while he dies trying.

Two years ago, Calvin Kinsey was an up-and-coming cop at the Aurora Police Department. Then his partner was brutally murdered by a vampire who skipped away scot-free, and Cal was thrown headfirst into the supernatural world he never knew existed in the shadows.

Now, Cal is a newly minted detective at the Department of Supernatural Investigations. By day, the agents of DSI are mocked as “Kooks” by local law enforcement. By night, they’re known as “Crows” and reviled by the supernatural underworld.

Thrust into the middle of ancient rivalries, complex conspiracies, and budding wars, Cal has to hit the ground running in his new detective role in order to protect his beloved city from the things that go bump in the night.

Because if DSI falls to the dark side of the supernatural, the human world falls with them.

This box set contains the first five books in the action-packed City of Crows urban fantasy series: Soul Breaker, Shade Chaser, Wraith Hunter, Doom Sayer, and Day Killer.


Thank you for stopping by and reading!!
