Blurb:
What does love look like? If you see it, will you give it the attention it deserves?
Police
volunteer Sebastian Sumner may be deaf, but he’s strong and capable.
He’s been involved with Detective Jordan Waters for a year now. Their
relationship hasn’t been smooth sailing, but their love is on solid
ground. Too bad their work lives are on shakier soil—Jordan’s is,
anyway, as he sets out with his partner to investigate Aldous Henley, a
shady art dealer suspected of forgery and smuggling. But proving these
crimes and bringing the man to justice is more challenging than Jordan
expected.
Before long, Henley isn’t just a work problem. The case
consumes Jordan’s attention, and he’s struggling to balance his busy
professional life and his equally important private life—especially with
a significant anniversary approaching. Love may be in plain sight, but
that doesn’t mean it should be taken for granted.

Excitability: 4/5 (Two of my fave authors together \o/ excitement)
Blurb:
Paul Hannon moved to
Tucker Springs for his girlfriend, but she’s left him with a house he
can’t afford and a pantry full of useless gadgets. All Paul wants is to
get back to normal, even if he's not sure what that is anymore. When he
wanders into Tucker Pawn for a gift to win her back, he meets El Rozal,
pawn shop owner and all-around cynic.
El Rozal doesn’t do
relationships, especially not with clueless straight boys still pining
for their ex. El may make his living dealing in castoffs, but that
doesn't apply to men. Still, when Paul starts clearing out his old life,
pawning kitchen equipment he never wanted in the first place, El is
drawn to Paul in spite of himself.
Paul and El have nothing in
common except a past full of disappointments. There's no reason to
believe the two of them could fit, but in El’s line of work, one man’s
junk is another man’s treasure. When it comes to love, El and Paul may
learn that secondhand doesn't mean second best.

Blurb:
Not all that glitters is gold.
Nikolai
Krasnorada leads the life of a corporate nomad. Working for a gold
explorations company, he’s never put down roots, and he likes it that
way. Roots can be dangerous, as everyone from his “man-hating” sister to
his manipulative mother to his war-traumatized father has proven.
But
when his CEO sends him to Toronto to strike a deal with LeBeau Mining,
Nikolai meets Henri LeBeau, crown prince to the resources conglomerate
and inveterate flirt. Sparks fly immediately, despite the business deal
that threatens to go sour and Nikolai’s own reluctance to give Henri
false hope about him being Mr. Right. He’s barely come to terms with his
bisexuality, and getting involved with Henri would get messy.
When
LeBeau Mining launches a hostile takeover bid, Nikolai and Henri find
themselves on opposite sides of the negotiating table. But
fortunately—or perhaps unfortunately—for Nikolai, Henri’s not nearly as
interested in his company as he is in his heart.
Pressure Head by JL Merrow
Samhain Publishing
Release Date- September 18th 2012
Excitability: 4.5/5 ( Love the cover and can't freaking wait)
Blurb:
Some secrets are better left hidden.
To
most of the world, Tom Paretski is just a plumber with a cheeky
attitude and a dodgy hip, souvenir of a schoolboy accident. The local
police keep his number on file for a different reason—his sixth sense
for finding hidden things.
When he’s called in to help locate the
body of a missing woman up on Nomansland Common, he unexpectedly
encounters someone who resurrects a host of complicated emotions. Phil
Morrison, Tom’s old school crush, now a private investigator working the
same case. And the former bully partly responsible for Tom’s injury.
The
shocks keep coming. Phil is now openly gay, and shows unmistakable
signs of interest. Tom’s attraction to the big, blond investigator
hasn’t changed—in fact, he’s even more desirable all grown up. But is
Phil’s interest genuine, or does he only want to use Tom’s talent?
As
the pile of complicated evidence surrounding the woman’s murder grows
higher, so does the heat between Tom and Phil. But opening himself to
this degree exposes Tom’s heart in a way he’s not sure he’s ready
for…while the murderer’s trigger finger is getting increasingly twitchy.
Warning:
Contains a flirtatious plumber with hidden talents, a cashmere-clad
private investigator with hidden depths, and an English village chock
full of colourful characters with plenty to hide.

Jason Kennly needs to
get a closer look when he spots a gray leather collar from across the
dealers’ room at a science fiction convention, even if there’s no way he
can afford it on his college student budget. After all, looking is
free. But then he spots something he wants even more than the collar:
leather booth owner Henry Durand, who insists Jason try it on. When
Henry asks Jason to be his model at a bondage demo, Jason agrees despite
his lack of experience as a sub and ends up spending a
no-strings-attached weekend exploring his kinky side with a virtual
stranger.
Then the con is over, Jason and Henry go their
separate ways, and it’s back to real life. Coming to terms with his
identity as a submissive and masochist isn’t easy for Jason. Suddenly he
has to face fear, doubt, and a best friend who’ll do anything to get
him away from “that creep” and back together with the ex-boyfriend who
ignored him. All Jason wants is to be with Henry, but what if that means
becoming his slave?

Two plus one equals scorching hot fun.
Dumped by his boyfriend and reduced to living in a
grotty bedsit, Josh Carpenter has gotten used to expecting the worst.
Now he lives only for his job as a glassblower…and occasional glimpses
of his sexy downstairs neighbors, Rai Nakamura and Evan Truman.
Every
time he overhears the diminutive academic and the hunky plumber having
loud and obviously kinky sex, Josh is overwhelmed with lust…and a
longing for a fraction of what they have.
To his amazement, Rai
and Evan find his embarrassing tendency to blush utterly charming, and
the three men grow closer over the course of the long, hot summer.
Despite Rai’s charming flirtation and Evan’s smoldering gaze, Josh is
determined never to break his new friends’ loving bonds.
On the
night a naked Josh falls—quite literally—into the middle of one of Rai
and Evan’s marathon sex sessions, the force of their mutual attraction
takes control. But just as Josh dares to hope, he senses a change.
Leaving him to wonder if the winds of love are about to blow his way at
last…or if history is about to repeat itself.

Excitability: 4.5/5 (Can't freaking Wait!!!)

Sequel to Dirty Kiss
Loving Kim Jae-Min isn’t always easy: Jae is gun-shy
about being openly homosexual. Ex-cop turned private investigator Cole
McGinnis doesn’t know any other way to be. Still, he understands where
Jae is coming from. Traditional Korean men aren’t gay—at least not
usually where people can see them.
But Cole can’t spend too much
time unraveling his boyfriend’s issues. He has a job to do. When a
singer named Scarlet asks him to help find Park Dae-Hoon, a gay Korean
man who disappeared nearly two decades ago, Cole finds himself submerged
in the tangled world of rich Korean families, where obligation and
politics mean sacrificing happiness to preserve corporate empires. Soon
the bodies start piling up without rhyme or reason. With every step Cole
takes toward locating Park Dae-Hoon, another person meets their
demise—and someone Cole loves could be next on the murderer’s list.
~What new release has you excited this month?~
Definitely the Jet Mykles, JL Merrow and Josephine Myles. The others I'm not too familiar with so I may wait to see what the 'word on the virtual street' is. :-)
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with Tam, and also the Marie Sexton/Heidi Cullinan book.
ReplyDeleteThird You Die, the third book in the Kevin Connor series by Scott Sherman, comes out this month, too. I've had it pre-ordered for *ages*, and I can't wait!
