Dirty, bloody, and dysfunctional at the best of times, Liam and Gianni start gathering their family with this love story for monsters.
Monsters don't get to have nice boys--but that doesn't mean they can't have a happy ending.(less)

No wait, there is, actually. Being sent to gather evidence against and arrest your summer fling from long ago, and then finding out the feelings never died.
Awkward.
Love, poetry, dock parties, betrayal, Suede, vigilantes, rainbow underpants, and one very cranky FBI Special Agent. Losing Better will be here in no time.(less)

I love a writer who can pull of a jackass of a character, but Kate Aaron went above and beyond by giving us a jackass whose voice is not only memorable but also prettily written. Two of my favorite things in one place. Throw in a friends to lovers plot and I'm gone, man. So gone.(less)
When Aeron heard the summons from the mortal realm, he couldn't resist. The voice, the one that had been echoing through his dreams since he was just a boy, the one everyone thought meant he was going mad just like his mother, was real. And it was mortal.
Aeron stepped through the tear in the worldfabric to meet his destiny. Instead, he found a shy young forest-priest with halting speech and a ridiculous smile--who claimed to know absolutely nothing about why his voice had been stuck in Aeron's head for decades. Not to mention why they both have the strange feeling they've been bound, somehow, for a very long time.
Fairy Compacts is the story of two men, one fae, one mortal, who share a terrible history of which neither is aware. Whether or not their budding affection for one another can overcome the shock of finding out the truth, only time will tell. But this is for certain: one should never make fairy compacts.
They always end in tragedy. Usually for the mortal. But not always.(less)

Though the first bit is essentially orientation, she lets you explore with Allen, and his exploration is fraught with the tension of his situation. If it had pages, I'd have flipped frantically.
Sparkling characters and the odd wry grin packed into a tiny, pretty package.(less)

Contains: electricity, Irish-American punk, baseball, The Winking Lizard (Ohio people, you know what I mean), family issues, nerdflirting, Powers Irish Whiskey, surprising tattoos, arranged marriages, recurring nightmares, Little Italy, big arguments, sex, Catholicism, accidental heroics, secrets, lies, love, and white Jockey underpants.
May be enjoyable for those who like their romantic conflict a little more internal, those who like their guys either grouchy and nerdy or hot and superpowered (or any combination of the above), and those who like the promise of a little sweetness at the end of the day.(less)

She does mostly M/F and F/F/M, and there's everything from sci fi to contemporary angst in the upcoming book. This one has two full stories and some work from other fine authors.
Plus me rambling on and on about why I think writing sex is the most honest sort of character development possible. :D(less)
I wrote this! Different pen name, but different themes. Bit of a f#@ked up love story involved, yeah, but more of a dark UF/paranormal than a romance....moreI wrote this!
