4.5 Pants Off

Blurb:
This macho jock has a crooked little secret.

College hockey player Austin Puett is in trouble. Unless he starts treating his flamboyantly gay roommate with respect, he’ll lose his room and his job at Rear Entrance Video. But Austin’s got a not-so-straight secret of his own: nothing turns him on more than insults implying he’s gay—even though he’s definitely not!—and all his old coping methods have stopped working.

Pure desperation drives him to rent a Mischievous Pictures porn flick about straight men tricked into servicing Puck, a male dominant. Instead of letting off steam, though, it just leaves him craving more, more, more, and suddenly, Austin finds himself at Mischievous Pictures Studios for an audition. After all, you can be Gay For Pay and still be straight . . . right?

But meeting Liam Williams, the real person behind Puck, confuses Austin even more. Liam really seems to like him as a person, and Austin likes him back. And while Gay For Pay’s okay, what does it make Austin if he still wants Liam when the cameras aren’t rolling?

Review
Heidi Belleau has done it again with Straight Shooter. I have yet to be disappointed in a story by this author, and in the REV series this book hands down is my favourite. Like my feels had feels and the importance of story when it comes to labels and dealing with sexuality is legit. I'm just in awe and Austin just took my heart a piece at a time (what a dude).

Austin Puett is losing his friends and roommates fast on the account of his being a homophobic asshole to Bobby (Wallflower). He can deal with Bobby just being a gay man but throw in the women’s clothing and he's at the end of wits. Also, he's surrounded by all the gays and he's worried that maybe it might rub off him and he's on the brink of his budding hockey career and as they say "aint nobody got time for that" time for being gay at least. But getting called "fag" and a heap of derogatory names really makes him hot under the collar, and throw in exhibit B, him working at a gay porn store and Austin is beginning worry.

When the roommates give him an ultimatum, to better shape cus not all the times is Bobby going dress like a man. Austin decides it time to become tolerable and while he's doing that maybe check out a few gay porn DVDs here and there. He's feeling confident that his boners in the locker room are for naught when he remains unaffected by them. That is until he pops in a Mischievous Pictures DVD and sees Puck for the first time and his world starts spinning.

Austin considers being gay for pay and his fascination with Puck gets the best of him. He's going into this for all the wrong reasons, and that’s to be dominated, humiliated, and most of all get this "gay" thing out of his system. He never expected Liam though, and Austin finds that his life was simpler when he was just merely questioning his sexuality. Now he's opened up a whole other can of worms and can he mange it (all fingers point to he's out of his league on this one).

Oh Austin you incredibly fantastic dude! I am just so in love with this guy and his asshole fantasticness. I'm also very in love with the story that surpasses the traditional romance novel, and the expected GFY while putting forward a non complicated idea of sexuality. I'm all for more books like this, and it’s no surprise that this one is by Heidi Belleau. Making shit legit since The Saturnalia Effect and writing complex diverse characters. The REV series is 100% great and these guys fill up a space dominated by the cookie cutter white guy with pretty faces.

The relationship that develops between Liam and Austin is golden, very sweet and sexy. I'm all for this, so for this, all down wit this. Straight Shooter is a fantastic addition to an already wonderful series. Legit!

Spotlight Tour & Giveaway: To the Very Last Inch by Heidi Belleau and Amelia C. Gormley

Hi! We’re Heidi Belleau and Amelia C. Gormley, and we’re here to let you know that our kinky series The Professor’s Rule is coming to an end. The last two novelettes--Every Inch of the Way and To the Very Last Inch--are out now from Riptide Publishing, and to celebrate, we’re touring the web with a contest and a free bonus short. You’ll have to follow the whole tour to read the short in its entirety, but since every comment you make along the tour gets you an entry in our contest, there’s plenty of reasons to tag along.
  If you haven’t yet heard of The Professor’s Rule, here’s a quick crash course (see what we did there?)

School is back in session.

When undergrad student James Sheridan set out to seduce his way into a better grade, he had no idea what he was signing on for. Professor Evander Carson wasn’t about to trade a good grade for sexual favors, but he was definitely willing to tutor his wayward pupil in far more than history.

By the end of their tumultuous relationship, James not only excelled academically, his sexual horizons had expanded to include pleasures—and agonies—the likes of which he’d never dreamed. But enough was more than enough, and James fled from his Professor, unsure of where his limits lay or if he had the wherewithal to set boundaries.

Two years later, a chance misdial puts James back in contact with his former instructor and brings all his old cravings back in force, leaving him yearning to kneel once again at his Professor’s feet. But James has a new life now, with new sexual and romantic prospects—most notably the charming menswear salesman Satish Malhotra. Still, the pull to return to Professor Carson is a powerful thing. Can James give in to it without giving up his newfound confidence and budding romance?

The complete collection is on sale now for 40% off, and if you’d like to try before you buy, Giving an Inch (The Professor’s Rule #1) is free wherever ebooks are sold!

About Every Inch of the Way and To the Very Last Inch

In Every Inch of the Way, Satish Malhotra is in over his head. What appeared to be the hookup of his dreams turned out to be another man’s kinky sex game, and thus ended his relationship with sweet, submissive James Sheridan before it’d hardly begun.

Or so he thought. Being used in someone else’s domination/submission play should have been a deal breaker, yet James—bruises, boyfriend, and all—is too compelling to let walk away. But James has needs Satish isn’t sure he can fulfill, and it seems his mysterious Professor isn’t willing to share.

Can Satish keep James happy in bed and in life, or will James be forced to choose between his dominant and his burgeoning vanilla romance with Satish?

In To the Very Last Inch . . . Just days after their scorching reunion, Professor Evander Carson has kicked his one-time pupil James Sheridan to the curb—and tried to sabotage James’s new relationship with Satish Malhotra. Something isn’t right here, but James isn’t sure he should bother trying to figure out what. Carson isn’t good for him and will never change. He needs to accept that and move on.

Satish knows something is up, too, but he thinks the relationship between Carson and James is worth saving. To do the right thing, Satish will have to make James and Carson confront the secrets they’ve hidden for years and help them to overcome the pain and mistrust they’ve caused.

But if Satish succeeds, where will that leave him and his intensifying romance with James? Will the three of them be able to find the right balance, or will James be forced to choose between the pain and submission he craves with Carson, and the sweet, vanilla stability he’s found with Satish?

Review: King of Dublin by Lisa Henry and Heidi Belleau

Reviewed by Whuppsy
King of Dublin by Lisa Henry and Heidi Belleau
Riptide Publishing
Novel: 375pgs
5 Pants Off

Blurb:
Twenty years after a deadly pandemic ravaged the world, Darragh Fergus Anluan and the people of his village have carved out a hard but simple life in the Irish countryside. But with winter comes sickness, and Darragh must travel to Dublin in search of medicine. What he finds there is a ruined city ruled by a madman, where scavenging is punishable by death . . . or conscription.

Ciaran Daly came to Ireland with aid and optimism, but instead was enslaved by the so-called King of Dublin. After months of abuse from the king and his men, he has no reason to believe this newcomer will be any different. Except Ciaran finds himself increasingly drawn to Darragh, whose brutish looks mask how sweet and gentle he really is.

The tenderness Darragh feels for the king’s treasured pet is treason, but it’s hardly the only betrayal brewing in this rotten kingdom. Rebellions and rival gangs threaten the king’s power, but not nearly as much as Darragh and Ciaran—whose only hope for freedom is the fall of the king.

* This title contains the following sensitive themes: dubious consent, explicit violence and non-consent

Review
Let me begin with saying that this book contains some very harsh things. Rape, non-consent, dubious consent, lots of violence and mental and physical torture. If you are sensitive to any of these things, this probably won’t be the book for you. That being said, this book was pretty damn good. It was such a good book of survival, hope and love. There was so much going on in this book that it hooked you from the very first page. I was!!

So you meet Darragh from the very first page. He’s this kind, sweet, naïve young man. He left his village in order to find medicine for his people. He comes to Dublin in to find some and gets caught by the King of Dublin’s men. He’s taken to the see the king and is told that in order to get the medicine that he needs, he has to serve the king. He agrees to this, anything to save his people. Then he sees Ciaran for the first time.

Darragh is the kind of guy that most people would hope to find in their lives, sweet, kind and so very innocent. Honest to a fault. He’s not had the experience of dealing with the lies and duplicity that he’s now involved in. He’s just trying to make it through to get the meds that his village so badly needs. He’s now caught up in this madman’s game. He’s now doing things that he never thought he’d do. Then to add more on his plate, he finds that he’s attracted to the king’s “Boy”. Darragh knew that he liked other guys, but being where he’s from he’s never had an opportunity to try anything. Now, he does and it’s more than he thought it’d be.

Ciaran is a young man whose life didn’t turn out the way the thought it would. He’s come from a very privileged background. Ciaran has such high ideals that he can help those that are suffering. He wanted to help his people and instead he got raped and has become the pet of the king. He has had to hide who he really is inside in order to survive. To lie and let himself be taken by people not of his choosing. To be tortured both emotionally and physically. He starts to believe of himself that he’s unclean. That he’s nothing more than a whore. That he’ll never really be free. He sees Darragh and his path is changed yet again.

This story drew me in from the very beginning. To see how these two young men are thrown into this harsh and ugly and very violent place and what they both do in order to find some bit of comfort and yes, hope as well. The fact that they find someone who asks for nothing more from the other to be themselves is amazing. They have their own issues that need to be dealt with, and yet they still find that strength to hold on and hope for something better.

The secondary characters were just what you’d expect them to be. They are hard and angry people. They have had to survive in a world gone mad. That they now have this batshit crazy man claiming to be their king, they do bad things horrible things in order to live another day. To survive this madman’s whim. Some that are there are just as evil as the king and others are just doing what they must to survive. Even doing things that they would likely not do before hand, just to survive and keep the people with them alive and together. The character that I enjoyed the most was Rabbit. He’s this sweet, kind young man who just wants to be loved and belong. Even during this harsh, horrible new world, he’s this kind young man who helps Darragh and Ciaran.

There were times in this story that I wanted to smack Ciaran. I get where he was coming from, but it was that rashness of youth and the belief that he knows best that keeps getting him in trouble. I will say that it was so nice to see someone as wonderful as Darragh take the time and has the patience to keep chipping away at Ciaran’s shell. He needed to see that there wasn’t all bad left in the world. That there were people out there who still were kind and giving that could love and be there for others. Nothing sinister in their words, actions or deeds. Darragh just wants to love him. He makes some mistakes, but the true intention behind everything he does, is for the love of Ciaran.

This book has lots of sexual content. Most of it was truly not good. It was so awful reading about what Ciaran had to do to survive. The humiliation and degradation that he felt was heart breaking. That he was forced to do this to allow these things to happen and to not be able to defend yourself against it. So very sad. It hurt to read and to feel Ciaran’s emotions, was just so damn hard.

Please read this book. It shows that no matter what happens in this life, that there are people out there that love and have hope. They have faith that being with the ones who you love and care for, being part of a community matters. It was a hard read. There were things happening in this story that hurt my heart, but I pushed through it. I wanted to see how it would end. I wanted to see how they came together and what they had to go through in order to be together. This story gave so much hope and love that I was still sad to see it end. But I was happy that it have the guys get where they were going and to make it back, not whole…but something else.

~Howdy folks! I have two of my fave ladies on the blog today and they brought an awesome giveaway be sure to comment to win.~

3 FACTS ABOUT SATISH MALHOTRA 

Hi, and welcome to the Inch by Inch blog tour! Inch by Inch is the third in Riptide’s BDSM erotica series The Professor’s Rule, written by Heidi Belleau and Amelia C. Gormley. Today, Darien has asked us to share a little trivia about Satish, our down-to-earth menswear salesman from The Professor's Rule. All week we’ll be touring the web giving you a behind-the-scenes look at The Professor’s Rule, including new character profiles and some very steamy excerpts. We’re also giving away not one but TWO ebooks, so stay tuned! 

Thanks so much to our host, Darien, and to you readers, of course, for coming along! 

---

1. During the planning stages, Satish was originally supposed to be a one-off character who appeared in James and Carson’s relationship and then disappeared again just as quickly . . . but we (and James!) ended up liking him so much that he stuck around! 

2. Satish’s name was originally Akanksha, which according to baby name websites means “dream” or “wish”. But Heidi, rightfully worried about the accuracy of baby name websites, decided to check with fellow author Suleikha Snyder (of Indian origin herself). . . who informed her, yeah, that was a girl’s name. And so, after a lengthy Twitter conversation on Indian naming conventions, he became Satish! (Which sounds so much better, don’t you think?) 

3. Although working as a salesman is “just a job” for Satish, he’s genuinely interested in fashion. He attributes his care for his personal appearance to the fact that with six siblings, he was denied grooming time in the bathroom growing up, and now he’s making up for that fact.

Contest Info: 

If you haven’t fallen in lust with the Professor, yet, now’s your chance! We’ve got two ebooks to give away to two lucky commenters: one copy of Giving an Inch, and one of An Inch at a Time.

Inch by Inch (The Professor's Rule #3) 

After two long, kink-free years apart, James Sheridan has reunited with his Professor: the sexy, dominant Evander Carson. But this time, things will be different. James is older, more sure of himself, and confident that he can draw the line between Carson’s demands and his own principles. 

One of those lines is gorgeous menswear salesman Satish Malhotra. After their steamy dressing room encounter, James feels an unexpected connection to Satish, and he wants to explore it further. But Carson’s involvement—in James’s life, and in James and Satish’s budding relationship—complicates things. 

Carson’s penchant for using other men in their sex games has always troubled James, and he’s adamant that Satish not be just another notch in their whipping post. But when Satish learns what prompted James to pursue him in the first place, will James’s new ability to draw the line even matter?
