Yes, you read that right…
RIGHT ONE 4 DIESEL is available for pre-order RIGHT NOW
RIGHT ONE 4 DIESEL
The Dominion of Brothers Series Book 5
Diesel Gentry knows exactly want he wants. He wants a Unicorn, a life slave to surrender her every desire and need to him— who is, in essence and body, the very same woman his brother, Trenton Leos, already possesses. He also wants Paris Dalqeaute.
He had that powerhouse body in his domineering grip once before, but Diesel purposely let the fallen angel slip through his fingers. Being a Master of Doms within the BDSM lifestyle, Diesel knew he had to set Paris free— thinking and hoping Paris would eventually come back to him, and submit to Diesel willingly, not just because Paris’ job description required him to. After all, Paris had been hired as the director for the fetish and BDSM events down at the island resort Diesel and his brothers owned. Except Paris never did return; while he proved his value to his title, he has also been using his work to hide from Diesel.
It’s been a year now and Diesel’s bed and life have remained empty ever since. It’s time the running stopped.
Finding Paris wasn’t going to be the hard part– breaking down his walls to trust them both to commit to a life together was going to be the real challenge.
But even if Diesel succeeds, there’s a problem with their future— what’s to come threatens the lives of everyone Diesel loves— and he doesn’t even know it yet.

TEASER:
CHAPTER ONE
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
“Paris.” Cayetano was entering with a soft knock on the door. It always struck him rather funny, how his assistant knocked, yet walked right on in without giving Paris the benefit to actually invite him in.
“Yeah, what is it? I’m busy right now.” And he was. The new submissives had just arrived from Trenton’s auction. The one he deliberately didn’t go to. He just couldn’t go up there and face Diesel. The taste of the man was still too fresh as if he’d swallowed him just yesterday, when in truth it had been a year. Had it been more like two years, Paris figured he might have had the strength to go. After all, Dominus Trenton Leos’ Elysian Fields Auctions usually were only held once every two years, but demand was so high right now, with several more spas, a few more private clubs along with this resort, wanting to hire sub/slaves to serve their clientele and that was on top of the private sector that still sought out the thrill of the auction to find their perfect submissive to go into contract with. The demand was so high, the Dominus had been convinced to forgo skipping a year. It certainly came in good timing for Paris, professionally that is. The Island Resort’s B&D season last year was such a success they were expecting almost twice as many guests this year and they needed to up the number of slaves to fill the need.
However, going to New York for the auction meant seeing Diesel Gentry, Trenton’s brother and closest friend. The Master of Doms he’d fallen for. Instead, Paris had himself exempted from the task via the board, based on there being too many other details for the season that required Paris’ direct attention and far outweighed going to the auction event when it could be handled by another. The ruse had worked and he was excused. Only it was his assistant, Cayetano that was sent in his place instead.
The ill choice costed him dearly. By not going to the auction himself, Paris lost out on two of the selections he wanted, one of them a man who would have been a gem to their collection of slaves on the island, not to mention, Paris hoped to use him as a diversion for himself as well. One of the perks with the job, but he wasn’t the only one looking to have him. The self-entered submissive’s purchase price turned out to be one of the highest among the short term slaves.
Cayetano along with Valarie another member of Paris’ staff had gone in his place. The two staffers were given strict instructions to bid on specific slaves from the brochure and to stay on budget. Had he gone himself, he would have been able to gauge the competition and risked the extra spending to top the competing bidder. But nope, too fucking scared to face the man who had the power to overwhelm him, make him want to give everything away just to be with the man again. Hell, Paris had hardly slept with another since then. It wasn’t the same, didn’t feel the same, and he didn’t want them as he wanted Diesel.
“What do you need, Cayetano?” Paris reminding himself he was there.
“Just got off the phone with the Masters Trenton Leos and Diesel Gentry.
Paris’ eyes flicked up from the papers on his desk and locked onto the man he’d hired from the nearby island of Barbados— seconds frozen there as if caught in the act of something forbidden. Diesel’s name again— how was it he could never escape the man? “It’s Dominus and Patronus, not Master.” He corrected Cayetano, forgetting to hide his annoyance. He’d never led on about his feelings for Diesel. In fact, he’d never even spoke about his training or who he’d gone to. Only Alan, Paris’ boss and one of the handlers, Blaine, knew and they too had kept silent about it. Though he figured that had something to do with Diesel’s own doing than of his.
“Is there a problem with the account transaction?” Paris knew there wouldn’t be. He cleared the payment over the phone via wire transfer with Trenton before the slaves were loaded up on the plane, but the question posed a way out for the sudden jittering sensation he felt coming over him and thought for sure Cayetano would notice it.
Cayetano shook his head, “No, it’s fine. But he mentioned something about slaves returned to him and he was bringing them down to the resort to be added to the staff of slaves serving here. Can he do that?”
Paris actually knew about the additional slaves coming in to staff. One of Trenton’s regular clients filed bankruptcy and had his slaves surrendered back to the possession of Trenton. Alan, the island’s primary director, had already informed Paris the board’s approval of taking on the extras.
“Yes, it’s already been approved by the board to accept them. Anything else?”
“They made reservations. They’re coming down.”
Paris’ heart froze right along with his brain functions. Diesel was coming here? Shit, he wasn’t ready to handle this— he couldn’t— how the hell would he be able to do his job professionally and act casual while Diesel’s body was waltzing around the resort? The thick cords of muscle over his chest and arms, imprinted with tattoos that not only marked his loyalty as a military soldier, but his dominance as well. Paris could just envision how they would glisten under suntan oils at the pool. The tattooed pistols on the front of Diesel’s hips that never failed to draw one’s eyes towards the real gun. Paris was never a fan for tats, but he’d give just about anything for the chance to run his tongue over the sexy inked man right about now.
He closed his eyes, envisioning the act, licking over hip knots and those inked guns, right down into the small nest of dark hair that circled around Diesel’s cock, all ten inches of length and three inches of girth.
Paris stifled the need to lick his lips and pulled in a deep long breath and let out a tantalizing sigh. Nice and slow so not to be too noticeable, reminding himself someone else was on his office. He forced on a —I have better things to deal with— look towards his assistant.
“So, why bring this to me? If they want to make reservations, then let them.” Okay, you handled that rather well, Paris, now wait for it— you know there’s a reason. Don’t panic, just let it come. It’s not as bad as it seems.
“Well, sir, it comes with specific requests.”
“Most of our clients do. Just make whatever arrangements they need to be made and then inform staff to ensure everything is prepared. That’s all.”
“Except, one is rather—” Cayetano hesitated. “Well, it’s rather unusual. I told him you couldn’t do it, but he insisted.”
Paris’ head did a double take right after it skipped over a few brain cells. Wait— me? His coping gears faltered— he couldn’t do what? What did Diesel want him to do? Okay, so he’s pretty sure he knew the answer to that question, but what did Diesel say to Cayetano? Paris cleared his through to ward off any nervousness, “So what was it?”
Cayetano squirmed a bit before answering. “Mr. Gentry has requested a specific slave to be assigned to him during his entire stay and that in no why is the slave allowed to return to his own quarters while he is here or be given off to anyone else. The slave is to remain exclusively his.”
All the panic melted from his mind as Paris felt the ping of jealousy take its place. Who the hell would Diesel be requesting to have so exclusively? And to do it on his island, no doubt. “Lots of clients do that, so who did he ask for?”
“You, sir.”

Do you like it Dangerous?
RG Alexander has a great series going with the Finn Factor. I am loving the Finn family and their exploits and I have to admit there is just something about the Irish that warms my heart. It is also great to have a series that has something for everyone. Yes I am talking about the different combinations of loving characters. Curious, book one, was a sexy MM, Scandalous, book two, a delicious MF and now we have Dangerous, book three, a steamy MM that takes a step into the dark side.
In every story RG Alexander gives us a taste of each of the Finn family members and their friends. When it comes time for their story that is when we get a full meal.

Malcolm Tate hung up his flogger when his submissive sought out another Dom and landed in the hands of a serial killer. Convinced his lack of dominance sent his sub away, Mal has spent two years blaming himself for what happened. But when his best friend finally convinces him to go back to the local dungeon, Mal’s grateful. Especially when he wins beautiful, submissive, firmly-closeted Kyle Bingham in a charity slave auction.
College grad Kyle hasn’t earned enough to move out of the loft his conservative, homophobic parents bought, much less to buy any of the other things still in their name. When he’s won at auction by the hot, amazing Mal, he’s shocked that anyone would want him. No one else seemed to—not his parents, his former Doms, or any of his disastrous dates.
But Mal does want him and Kyle lets his guard down, only to be outed to his parents. With his world crashing down, he must find a way to trust Mal—and their developing relationship—or risk losing everything.

Two Writers Rambling – Amazon says its working on it, but are they?
Amazon Scandals – AMAZON SAYS IT WORKIN ON IT, BUT ARE THEY REALLY?
An article was posted up at The Memo just last week about the fake reviews at Amazon as if it were new news. They should have asked me. I’d have informed them otherwise. It’s not new— neither is the piss-poor way Amazon takes a stab at policing the scandal vs legit reviews just so they can say “they are doing something about it”. But there is very little backing to the Amazonian review storm that comes down like a Godzilla movie scene where everyone gets nervous, authors scatter to go hid in their corners… I read once that Hugh Howey took to twittering to rally for fan support and managed to double his reviews under threat of getting a shave…
then after a span of a few days, the monster attack is all over. Back to silence and sadly, the cons are left standing in the street… unstomped on.
From an author’s point of view, it seems even journalists and many bloggers trying to weight in their opinions on the topic (self included) are completely overlooking the central hub to this. It is correct to assume Amazon is not taking the appropriate initiative and when it does, they take the lazy way out to assert some recklessly planned action so they can ‘claim’ they are working on it. Except they aren’t even touching on those who are the problem. Rather instead, authors, who, not guilty of scamming, often end up being the ones who take the punishments by having their hard earned reviews garnished.
The worst part of this,for many authors who have been hit, sit back with their hands tied while Amazon seems to be utterly impervious to the most obvious of guilty culprits. Take for example: when a first time author pops up with an instant book and has over a hundred 5 star reviews in a matter of days, then HELLO? It warrants investigation.
Some Common sense might help in the matter. For example, when authors like, Rice, King, Ward, Koones, Carthwright… all of which are national bestselling authors, see reviews pour in rather quickly after a new release its pretty much expected. After all, it makes sense, as it would for many other authors, who like the ones i named are ESTABLISHED authors! So you keep the hounds out of their corner. Any first, second, and third book publishing from new/unknown authors who have magically managed to get what takes others years of promotions and name building, should at least get flagged and investigated to assure the reviews are legit.
Whether you read it or not. Last week I did a topic on The Do’s and Do’s of book marketing. I also mention none of them are magic wands and not everyone was going to get the same results. Nevertheless, I assure you, there is nothing short of buying reviews that is going to get a new author a hundred 5 star review on their first book by day 2. Nothing.
Another red flag is when all the reviews coming in are only 4 and 5. Generally when an author releases a new book their biggest fans are most likely to be the first to review. So it’s natural to see the first wave of reviews to be high rated. That’s not to say the reviewers are not being legitimately honest, just because a reader is a follower doesn’t mean they blow false praise. There will be plenty of times when a reader feels let down every once and a while, and they’re usually quick to point that out when it does happen. But those readers genuinely enjoy that author for a reason. Eventually, if the author is lucky to continue to receive reviews, a spectrum of ratings starts to show up. But when the count gets up toward the 3 digits and so far nothing under a 4 star has been posted… yep… better flag that shit and take a closer look. Are you listening Amazon?
Amazon isn’t, but if you are, you might want to check out this video from USA Today on the subject. They seem to know how to spot them as well.
And it’s not as hard as anyone might try to claim. If Amazon can track a reviewer back to their facebook account and see that they are on an author’s ‘friend list’, which they are… (and for the record most authors have upward and over a thousand ‘friends’ on facebook, its where readers can follow their favorite authors. It doesn’t mean they are true friends in a physical sense of ‘knowing’ that author in everyday life.) Again, this sort of mine sweep on it, takes one or two reviews from an author. Authors who only have a dozen to begin with, that one or two stripped away feels like a punch in the belly. How did one review from a fan cheat the system?
It’s the reviews that are purchased in blocks of 50 to 100 that are altering a book’s ranks in the complex and unfair algorithm branding within Amazon’s search engine. Its for that same reason the beast exists too. Start a race and someone is going to find a way to cheat to get to the finish line faster. But if Amazon can trace even one fan back to facebook, then they can trace back these true fake posters back to the network source. The ‘Verified purchase’ means nothing, the services that post the reviews charge a fee to purchase the book and then post the review, making it a ‘verified purchase’. Nice try Amazon, but your criminal investigation skills still suck.
If you, the reader, are not sure if the review sounds legit, just click on the reviewer’s name and check out some of their other reviews. Most readers stick to just a few genres with occasional ventures into the neighbor’s yard. But if their books and product reviews are as random as they come with unrelated genres in way of books or music and/or the reviews start looking robotic? Red flag.
Amazon apparently hasn’t figured this one out, when they yanked 1700 reviews all from Review Blogger Christoph Fischer on Amazon with claims he ‘knows’ all 1700 authors. Yet won’t explain how they came to this conclusion. They’ve also allowed a hate reviewer to remain standing, having left a little over eight hundred 1-Star reviews to bash authors of erotica with regurgitated rants for her earlier reviews over just the last six months. [More on this] and… [here] and… [here]
Talon and I have a reader fan, much like Christopher Fischer, who has been banned from leaving reviews for any of our books on Amazon. He’d been kind enough to keep us up to date as he sought out further explanation for the ban. It took him 28 emails to Amazon to get an answer. ‘He won an Amazon gift card from us during one of our Rafflecopter giveaways to celebrate a new book release.’ Having been the receiver of an Amazon gift card we sent direct to his account, pegged him as a ‘you know this author‘ villian.
But the fake shit on amazon doesn’t end there…
Kindle book “All About the A’s” contained 6 chapters of the letter A
Books like ‘All About the A’s’ was first received as a joke, but what it was, in fact, a Kindle Unlimited scam. Readers found it funny and in posting reviews even went along with the joke, leaving remarks like one 5 Star reviews said: “I have searched my life for the cosmic answer to life and here it was staring me in the face. It was all about the A’s.”. Even the 1-star reviews were in on the fun as one review said: “I was so disappointed in this. After delving into the philosophies of A’s I thought for sure the author would go on to more deeper topics such as B’s and G’s and the formidable XYZ’s.”
But what many did not catch onto at first was the ‘so called’ author was raking in a fair share of the KU payout pool with this and many others like it, since at the time a reader need only go as far as 10% into the kindle book and the authors received an approx. $1.35 for the read. Every curious onlooker at least went that far just to see if the book really was ALL A’s.
The more fake books that flooded the KU program the less payout legitimate authors of novels and short stories received Essentially the scammers were stealing from other authors as well as scamming Amazon.
Here’s another thing Amazon sucks at, detecting fake books. To start with, there is a whole slew of “How-to” books loaded up on Amazon on: “How to make books to sell and make 3-6k a month and never write a single word.” From one book to the next they’re all pretty much just regurgitated version of the next. Some have good ideas, some not so much, and almost all of them tell you how to go about buying reviews. Really Amazon? How hard was it for you to miss that? You have a couple of what?, a hundred… a thousand employees that work with Author Central and over the last 6 or so years, you still haven’t realized what those are? Con artists teaching people how to ignore the obvious copyright violation by doing this: “copying information, shorts and snippets from website blogs- comprising it into one book then selling them on Amazon.” This form of copyediting of books doesn’t hit the fiction genres too often. But there is one scam that does.
Take a close look at the screen shot of an actual counterfeit listed on Amazon
They are the counterfeits. Books that have been reloaded up on Amazon under a fraudulent author claiming ownership. These counterfeits are often so obvious, again it’s a wonder how Amazon doesn’t spot books like these.
Because readers and authors alike spotted the forgeries right off the bat, yet Amazon allowed someone using the alias Jay Cute to upload 26 books in one day without any problem. The counterfeiter didn’t even try to hide the fact the books belonged to another other. Same covers, same interior… the only different was the thief pasted his name over the cover. Often not even covering up the original author’s name. All 26 books were signed up for the Amazon KU program. Original Authors and supporter railed to the cause, flooding Amazon with a torrent of complaints. When that got no action from Amazon, readers and authors took to posting 1 star reviews on all the books, advising buyers the books were pirated copies. As many as 20 1 star reviews hit these books (just a reminder, Amazon policy scans reviews before they go live) and yet it still took over two weeks before Amazon took any action and had 26 counterfeits removed. I knew two of the authors victimized by this and neither to date have receive any compensation or apology from Amazon.
