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

 What am I doing? Self-editing! Imagine that in the most dramatic voice with a pose. I'm so ready to be done but alas, it is not to be.

In the meantime, my pre-orders arrive and they are glaring at me because I'm not letting myself get distracted, mostly.

Series: 
Author(s): Louisa Masters
Length: 245 pages

Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Gay

Notes: The last of the series. I will be sad but maybe there will be a spinoff. 

Blurb: Just because I enjoy planning and researching doesn’t mean I’m not the most dangerous badass mothercracker around.
The world sees me as boring, dependable David. And I like it that way. I know things and I’m organized. Plus, I’ve seen firsthand the harm a chaotic life can inflict, and I’d rather have my lists and be called dull.

Which is what makes it all the more disconcerting when a sexy elf declares his adoration and begins to “woo” me. What am I supposed to do?

Hide, mostly. It’s hard, though, because Caolan and I are supposed to be working together. And he’s tough to resist: sweet, competent, and so incredibly beautiful. He sees something in me that no one else does. Would it really be such a bad thing if I gave in to temptation?

But my personal life can’t be the priority right now. The bad guys are gearing up to strike, and if we don’t stop them, the end of the world could be nigh. I need to focus on that, not on letting Caolan show me the benefits of spontaneity. Why don’t world-ending disasters come with an instruction manual?


Title: Peregrine
Series: Forbidden Desires
Author(s): Piper Scott, Virginia Kelly
Length: 347 pages

Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Established Relationship / Gay

Notes: I have been reading on this. Take seriously the trigger warnings. Also, I have lots of thoughts about certain people in this story. 

Blurb: 1508

Sebastian Drake, stoic protector of the Drake family, always gets what he wants—and there is nothing he wants more than the half-starved Pedigree omega named Peregrine he comes across on his travels. It doesn’t matter that Peregrine is a Disgrace. Sebastian will do whatever it takes to keep him… and somehow, as impossible as it might be, find a way to be his mate.

Present Day
For hundreds of years, Peregrine has enjoyed life as Sebastian’s mate. Sure, as one of the only bonded omegas in recent history he’s been kidnapped more times than he can count, but with Sebastian there to save him it’s little more than an inconvenience. And attacks from hostile clans? That’s just a typical Tuesday.

But there is one thing Peregrine fears, yet desperately wants.

One thing that has hurt him time and time again.

One thing Sebastian can’t save him from.

And now it’s happening again.

He’s pregnant.

Peregrine is an 85,000 word omegaverse mpreg romance set prior to as well as following the events of the Forbidden Desires series. It has answers to questions you’ve been dying to know and contains heartache, laughter, origin stories, meddling reptilian families with huge hearts, exotic locales, a dash of danger, and a love story five hundred years in the making. For maximum enjoyment, Peregrine is best read following the events of Clutch, Bond, Mate, Swallow, Magpie, and Finch.

Series: Hollywood Creatures, 1
Author(s): Skylar Sweeney
Length: 337 pages

Genre: Dark Romance / Paranormal / Vampires /  Werewolves / Gay

Notes: I'm seriously considering this one even though it is tagged as being dark with triggers. I mean, I've been looking for certain kinds of vampire stories. But this one is the 'father of all vampires' and I'm intrigued because you always assume that such characters have all the power they want but this dude doesn't. I'm encouraged by the reviews that say it can be funny. 

Blurb: Even after decades of abuse, the father of all vampires still can't bring himself to leave the man he's loved for years. But when a tragic loss finally convinces Gus to step up and leave, he discovers that running from the boss of the Celtic witches' mob isn't an easy thing to do. But in Hollywood, anything is possible.

There's no better escape from life than a reality TV show, and when the chance to star in a gay dating show lands in Gus' lap, he sees the cameras as his savior--even the mob can't steal him back on live TV. Especially not when the man the contestants are all trying to win is LA's baddest Alpha werewolf and former chief of the Paranormal Police.

The only problem? That same wolf wants nothing more than for every vampire to find themselves as dead as undead can be.

This paranormal drama is about to get real…

Series: War of the Wood, 1
Author(s): Ben Alderson
Length: 358 pages

Genre: Romance / High Fantasy / Gay 

Notes:

Blurb: A Mad Queen. A host of ancient dragons. A jealous heir.

Maximus Wodlin hated magic. Long before it erupted from him, killing the son of Master Gathrax and altering the course of his life forever.

Over 100 years had passed since the War of the Wood, when the northern army swept across land and killed the four ruling mages. Eradicating their ties to magic and leaving their vengeful families to rule.

But now one had returned. With Maximus’s palm branded by a mage mark, there is no escaping the crime he committed or the truth of what he is.

Instead of death at the hands of his Master’s grieving family, Maximus’s newfound power is controlled by them. Forced to become the son he killed and live as a false heir, to restore the dwindling legacy of the Gathrax Estate.

As Maximus struggles to discern allies from enemies, the Mad Queen watches from the North. Trusting is impossible when motives are invisible to him… even if they are shrouded within a handsome stranger.
