Here's the blurb from Alex and Nate's Story...Enjoy!
Workaholic Nate Erickson is a successful real estate developer who thrives on long hours and stress. When a Los Angeles project prompts him to relocate to Santa Monica, he welcomes the change of scenery. Nate has always considered romantic entanglements trouble, but his sexy next-door neighbor isn’t easy to ignore. Which makes no sense, because Nate is straight… or so he’s always thought.
Alex Reyes is a retired professional soccer player turned West Hollywood business owner with an insatiable lust for life. He loves his family, friends, and work. But there’s one life challenge left to accomplish: coming out publically. Respect for traditional Latino values has kept him in the closet, but Alex begins to think he and his new neighbor might help one another combat their fears. As Alex and Nate forge a strong friendship, they soon realize facing their personal demons will take more courage than either man bargained. The reward is immeasurable… if the timing is right.

Better Than Candy, Parts 1-3 (NSFW) Are On My Blog!
Happy Valentine's Day! In honor of the holiday, I've re-posted my short story featuring Matt & Aaron from Better Than Good. If you ‘re familiar with the Better Than books this will need no introduction other than to remind you it takes place shortly after Better Than Good ends. If you’re not, it’s still a standalone story.
Warning: the first two are definitely NSFW. :-)
The Wrong Man blog tour continues on Monday and Wednesday next week. And one stop includes a short story writing prompt in which Aaron and Matt from Better Than Good meet Brandon from The Wrong Man. Enjoy!

11 Days & Counting Till The Wrong Man is Released & Recent Blog Repost
The days leading up to a new release are harrowing for an author. The Wrong Man is a significant book to me because there are very personal elements in it, namely centered around Mack, the 13-year old Lab. But it's not a book about a dog. It's about renewal, a second chance. I'm excited about this release and the next one, The Right Time. 11 days (Feb 6!) is nothing but for some reason I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning! LOL. If you haven't done so already, pre-orders are available at Dreamspinner Press:

Curious...
How does someone put a 1 star on a book that isn't released yet? That's kinda crappy.

The Wrong Man Official Release Date Feb.6!!!
I have been remiss in updating GR. Yikes. I apologize! I was grateful to see my new book The Wrong Man already a little space here. The Wrong Man is Brandon's story. Yes, there's a dog in the book but this isn't a book about a dog. It's a story about coming to terms with what really matters in life. To be stripped of artifice and faced with fear... what is important to you and who do you want in your corner? Brandon learns what he thought was entirely wrong might just be the best thing after all. Check out the blurb here on GR. The Wrong Man is available for pre-order now at Dreamspinner Press:

Reviews for The Right Words... & a Better Than Short
Reviews on The Right Words have been amazing! A couple 5s, a few 4.5s, & 4s. I couldn't be more thrilled. There was a wonderful one I just read from Sammy at Scattered Thoughts Book Review. I won't post the whole thing but I want to share this part.
"I loved the banter between Michael and Luke. It was so carefree and made me smile endlessly. They had such a way between them that made me just want to crawl up next to them and become immersed in their interactions.
And then it gradually deepened. They were steaming hot and they were passionate and damn… they were great together. I flew through their story and was left hungry for more. There was just such a lovely balance in this story. A balance between sex and story, a balance between drama and lightness, a balance between vastly different characters"
I love it when a reviewer gets a book. The reviews that puzzle me are the ones who want a book in a new series to be a book in an old series. It's a huge compliment to any author to love the setting and want to revisit some familiar names and voices, but it's also fun to meet new ones. So keep an open mind. A new series equals new characters and often a new setting. It doesn't mean the author isn't committed to creating quality. It just means he/she is committed to change. And most of us reading and writing MM Romance can appreciate the need for diversity in a world that always wants to see the same things. The Right Words to me is in part about embracing diversity and taking the things others see as weakness and finding strength as well as a world of possibility. I hope you all enjoy it.
On another note, for those who cannot get enough of Matt & Aaron from Better Than Good, I posted a Xmas short story on my blog. Enjoy!
Happy Holidays & as always, Happy Reading!
