 These are books I’ve read and reallyenjoyed. Most of what I talk about will probably be paranormal/scifi but notalways. Although it’s rare, I do read some contemporary.

“Pissed is the term you’re looking for,” Kit snapped.

What was worse than pissed? Because he was there. Oh boywas he there. How dare they hide this? How fucking dare they. Didn’tthey think this was something he needed to know? It only affected his damn lifeafter all. Kit was a human. They were dragons. They weren’t even the samespecies!

Reading about fated mates in paranormal romances was onething. Nothing was hotter than a snarly bad boy who was all protective andshit. Getting slapped in the face with it was something else entirely. And hehad two of them—mates, that was.

Did they think his little human brain couldn’t handle it?Were they trying to—and hear him out here—protect him? Clue him in gently so hewouldn’t worry his pretty little head?

Oh, hell no. He was not some damsel in distress. This wasone time he wished he was a paranormal so he could flash some fang anddo a snarly growl at them.

Instead all he could do was grit his very human teeth andnot shake them silly. Not to mention, getting his ass yanked into some weirdvision thingy by a deity was not helping his mood either.

Pucker Up Monday

It's not what you think. Since Mondays do tend to suck, I thought I'd start the week off right for ya.

“But I’m the one who is responsible for this, not Connie.It was my decision not to tell you yet,” Hudson said, taking a step toward Kit,holding his hand out.

Kit pointed his finger at Hudson. “No. We’re not gettingall touchy-feely until I get some answers.” Every time they touched him, helost his mind. “Start talking.”

“Why don’t we sit down? In fact, I think I need caffeinefor this conversation. Kit? Please?” Connie asked. “Obviously, you’re upset—”

This week is:  Shai: A dark gay romantic suspense novel (Twisted Web #1) by H.L Night, H.L Day

Blurb: How do you play a game when there aren’t any rules?
Petty crook and drug dealer Elijah Page’s plan was simple. Stay off the feuding crime-lords’ radar for long enough to make a quick buck in the city, and then get out. He couldn’t have been more naïve. Captured and beaten by McIntyre, he escapes death, only to find himself in the hands of McIntyre’s opponent. Shai is an enigma, a man as charming as he is twisted. And he’s set his sights on possessing Elijah—body and soul.
Shai will stop at nothing until he’s ousted McIntyre. In the meantime, fate has provided him with an interesting distraction in the shape of the stubborn and rebellious Elijah. Elijah’s lips may say one thing, but his body says something else entirely. Elijah might think he has what it takes to go up against a man like Shai, but he’s wrong. He’s nothing but a fly in Shai’s web, and Shai will always be two steps ahead.A game ensues. One that Elijah may not even realize he’s playing, or just how big a pawn he is. Everything is at stake. Possibly even his heart and mind. By the time Shai has finished with him, there might not be anything left of the man he used to be.
Let the games begin.

A dark mm romantic suspense featuring snakes as a weapon, a manipulative main character, and a few twists and turns along the way.
Please make sure you check the trigger warnings before reading.
