  • Crash: A Forced Proximity SciFi Alien Romance (Rose Rising Book 1) by Thea Masen

    0 out of 5

    Neither of them want to be stranded together after the crash—especially when the heat gets stuck on high. But sweaty and exposed might be just what they need.

    When Ada and Galen crash on a hostile planet, they end up in a situation that’s not only physically dangerous, but emotionally dangerous as well.

    Ada usually avoids Galen, because even though he’s the hottest male she’s ever seen, he’s also constantly correcting her. Galen avoids Ada because he’s always painfully aroused when he’s around her. If he’s gonna make starship captain, he needs to focus and keep his head clear.

    Being stranded together is the last thing the snarky human engineer and the strait-laced alien flyboy want—especially when the heat gets stuck on high—but sweaty and exposed might be just what they need.

    If you love sizzling heat, hidden attraction, and aliens with interesting anatomy, you’ll love this fast-paced, short read.

    “Short, sweet, spicy—perfect to get you out of a reading slump.”
    “If you like Ice Planet Barbarians but want a sweeter romance this is for you.”
    “My only complaint? I wish it was longer.”
    “The spice is some of the best I’ve read in a long time.”

    0 out of 5

    Fae Rabies is a thing, and Corvin has it. Maeve is looking for the hottest story to uncover, and Corvin has that too…as well as several other things Maeve would like to uncover.

    Before meeting Corvin, Maeve’s penniless investigative journalist days were on wash, rinse, repeat: gym, latte, class, bar job, and madly slamming her keyboard in between. When the tall, handsome shifter pulls back the veil, revealing that she too is a Fae shapeshifter, everything changes.

    Now Maeve is tangled up with a Naga crime lord who’s demanding Corvin finish his mission. But given his “Fraebies,” Corvin’s magic is too dangerous to use and he’s forced to leverage Maeve’s investigative skills to find his quarry: a doctor that can cure him.

    Maeve’s life is on a new trajectory. The grumpy, smoldering Corvin will teach her magic as they hunt down the bounty, and she’ll get a killer story out of it—

    Hopefully not too killer.

    From NY Times & USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow, a fantasy science fiction romance!

    When a mysterious stranger arrives spouting conspiracies about her people’s future, she’s sure he needs a one-way trip to medical supervision. But the infuriatingly seductive outlaw knows things about her he shouldn’t–intimate things, embarrassing things.

  • Matchmaking Beyond the Veil by Mara Townsend

    0 out of 5

    Emery Belmont is a snarky realist who likes his life ordinary. Like any skeptic, he’s content using mundane explanations to write off signs of paranormal activity. That’s no longer an option when the spirit haunting his house wrecks his new kitchen, forcing Emery to face the supernatural truth. Desperate for a new handyman, he unknowingly hires his hot ex-rival from high school to fix it. Paxton Santos, Emery’s former lacrosse team captain, followed in his father’s footsteps to take over the family business. Annoyingly, Emery requires his talented hands more than he needs to keep Paxton out of his life. However, getting Paxton to leave after the repairs may prove difficult with the meddlesome ghost taking a shine to him, which Paxton seems to take in his grating, good-natured stride, remaining irritatingly unruffled by numerous weird occurrences.

    Emery is bombarded by paranormal hijinks, keeping Paxton at arm’s length, and solving an inescapable mystery. There’s nothing Emery hates more than an unfinished puzzle. In his determination to solve this one, Emery reluctantly opens himself up to new possibilities all while trying to remain firmly rooted in life the way he prefers it—orderly, logically explainable, and, above all else, ghost-free.

    Join Emery and Paxton as they face off with a spirit that has no limits to how far it will go to push them together, enduring locked doors, faulty plumbing, and sharing a bed. Together they are determined to navigate their way out of this mess using any means necessary to send the ghost packing. Will they make it out of the traps awaiting them before their pesky tormenter gets any other ideas to make things worse and further blur the line between them?

    Matchmaking Beyond the Veil is a 100k slow burn MM romance tale of rivals to friends to lovers. Featuring a meddling ghost playing at matchmaker, forced proximity, bed sharing, ghost tours that totally aren’t dates, and tongue-in-cheek humor. This story ends on a HFN ending with a soft cliffhanger. Emery and Paxton’s story will continue in Telltale Ghosts Book 2. This book contains denial, two men experimenting with sex magic, fighting what the heart wants, and steamy explicit sexual scenes and colorful language intended for adults 18 and older.

  • Deviant: Calla & Jason by Rowena

    0 out of 5

    Billionaire Errol Jameson is bored. Money has been able to buy him everything, and with most of his work outsourced and his life goals met, including easy access to beautiful, willing women, he needs new challenges.

    He decides to create his own reality show to appease his voyeuristic tendencies, his first unwitting test subjects and show stars: Calla & Jason.

    Jason has been in love with his friend’s girl for a while now. The three of them have known each other since adolescence, but Scott whisked Calla away before Jason could even begin to make sense of, and act on, the tender feelings he has for Calla. Seeing the two of them together has tortured him for over eight years, and he has been forced to accept that he’ll only be Calla’s friend.

    But life has thrown an unexpected curve-ball, and he finds himself trapped in an unfamiliar place with Calla, who has also been kidnapped. A disembodied voice tells them that the only way they’ll be freed is to give in to carnal intimacy–an idea that appalls and disgusts the faithful, prim Calla.

    Will they find another way out? If not, how long until they give in to the demands, and what will become of their relationship after?
