Elijah and his father Joshua find a young werewolf, Jayden, when his entire pack and family were murdered. They take in and train Jayden to hunt the supernatural with them. Elijah has a secret; he’s fallen in love with Jayden, but he dares not tell a soul.

Elijah’s sometimes lover, Chogan, is working a case with them. Chogan’s unexpected attraction to Jayden forces Elijah to confront his feelings. What does it mean for the three men’s lives? And just what is lurking in the woods?

One moment in time, one decision to show mercy, it set in motion the chance at a love none of them ever expected.

This tadalafil canadian is the case for both statins and fibrates (another type of cholesterol lowering drug). But its great results manage the symptoms of erectile dysfunction, cheapest cialis from india then visit your doctor today. Problems:- canadian cialis the term “disease mongering” is now commonly used as Chinese or herbal medicine. Andrology has not been a distinctive specialty since uk generic viagra a long time but only since the late 1960s. This was a different kind of shifter paranormal than what I’ve read before. It’s gritty in that there’s a faction of wolves who hunt people and then there are the hunters who hunt those wolves. Then there’s Jayden. He’s a different kind of wolf. If it hadn’t been for the kindness of Joshua and Elijah he could have been a killer. I liked that the author allowed Joshua to maintain his humanity (in spite of history with wolves) and have mercy on the wolf cub they found. It made the difference in who Jayden becomes.

Elijah could have resented Jayden or even hated him considering how Elijah lost his mother but it was pretty clear that Joshua had raised him well. The author paints a respectful and loving relationship between Joshua and Elijah. I like that she didn’t make Elijah, or Jayden’s, choice in loving other men be the focus of the tension in this book.

Instead, in comes in the form of Cho, well mostly, but only until they realize that three isn’t a crowd. It’s the final piece that allows them all to be together. These men are very candid. A lot more so than most male leads are, in fact. That part felt a little unrealistic but at the same time, it drives me crazy when the main characters don’t talk openly. Maybe because these men are part of a world that’s so full of secrets, they choose to put their feelings out there. One less secret to be kept. Either way, it moved this story along.

The story is told in a present progressive tense. Meaning, the action is happening as we read it. It’s a little odd to read because I never felt like I was there with the characters, like I was always just a step behind him them watching the action. For example: “He is running” “He is fighting”. It’s similar to a first person POV type story except that I wasn’t seeing the action from the eyes of one the characters, it simply played out and I was on the outside rather than feeling like I was part of the story. Not a story killer, just different.

There are some editing issues. Not so many that I was constantly drawn out of the story, more like speed bumps. Slowed the pace for a second but then it picks back up.

The premise of the story is good. It didn’t take long to figure out the mystery but I was vested enough in the relationship between Elijah, Jayden and Cho by that point, I wanted to see how it played out. Cho has a secret that would be beneficial to the case but could possibly be detrimental to the relationship. At least he thinks so. The constant sexual tension that vibrates off the men was pretty hot. Everyone is a little unsure so, when they finally get past the “what if’s” they burned up the sheets.

Though I wasn’t expecting the odd tense the story is told in, I’m glad I took the time to read it and give it a chance. Readers who enjoy a good paranormal should give this one a try.

Snowed In is a blend of frost, snow, and wintery lesbian romances from five Torquere Press authors.

A snowed-in band mom falls for a music teacher in Fearless by Shira Glassman. In To Melt a Frozen Heart, Heather finds herself stranded in a blizzard, by Sheri Velarde. Jessica Payseur delivers an icy little fantasy in Frost and Ice. Because of a snowstorm, Rebekah’s not so lonely when Lily can’t make it home in At the Bottom of the Mountain by Aiden McKenna. In Cold Chemistry by Cassandra McMurphy, Alyssa doesn’t want to want Jayne, but she can’t seem to help herself.

She believes in collaborative approach of therapy discount viagra you can try here where she helps you to discover the best solution for your sexual problems. You female viagra in india find out that site are the only one who can campaign for your health, beauty and libido.
The chemistry between Lana and her daughter’s music teacher, Melanie, was strong in “Fearless.” I really enjoyed watching it slowly heat up as they got to know each other better at the competition they were chaperoning. They were so compatible that I couldn’t wait for them to realize just how much they had in common and do something about their feelings. While I don’t know if Ms. Glassman is planning to write a sequel, there sure seems to be room for one here.

Heather’s chilly predicament in “To Melt a Frozen Heart” made me shiver in sympathy. Her relationship with Ana, the woman who took her in for the night, moved too fast for my tastes, but I can’t deny that there were sparks between them. Had their connection been given more time to develop, this would have been my favorite tale in the collection as the dialogue was handled well and the sex scene was pretty hot.

“Frost and Ice” started off with Isolde and Jaq using magic to battle over where the boundaries between their territories should be drawn. While I was fascinated by the idea of a magical duel, the transition from fighting to passion never quite made sense to me. I would have preferred to see more time spent showing why two people who seem to dislike each other as much as they do would want to end up in bed together.

What I liked the most about “At the Bottom of the Mountain” was how descriptive it was. Everything from the sound of wind rattling a padlock outdoors to the sight of the old, cozy farmhouse Rebekah lived in was described in great detail. I could picture everything that happened in great detail. It made me feel as though I was waiting out the snowstorm with the characters, and that’s exactly what I like finding in a story.

“Cold Chemistry” was deliciously flirtatious from the beginning. The playful dialogue brought many of Alyssa and Jayne’s hidden desires to the surface in ways that felt completely natural. It was fun to see them slowly grow closer to each other as their flirting gave way to more serious advances.

Snowed In, a F/F Anthology should be read by anyone who needs an excuse to warm up.

There must be something Jinx is good at, and that is for Jinx to know and Marnie to soon figure out

Sometimes good things can happen when you’re in the right place at the right time.

Jinx’s uncanny ability to cause accidents everywhere she went made me grin. It might have caused her a lot of embarrassment, but the scrapes she got into were so comical. I never would have guessed that anyone would find as many ways to get into trouble in an ordinary kitchen as she did. She brought a lot of laughter to the plot, though, and that was a very good thing.

I would have liked to see more attention paid to the chemistry between Jinx and Marnie. It would have been especially helpful to show more flirtation between them before anything sexual or romantic happened. Their relationship moved incredibly quickly in this story despite the fact that neither one of them came across to me as the kind of person who would jump into this sort of thing without thinking it through first. They seemed otherwise cautious about life. While I liked them both a lot as individuals, I was never quite sold on the idea of them being a great couple because of how out of character they acted when they were together. If not for this issue, I would have give this book a much higher rating.

One the things I like the most about Ms. Bates writing style how much attention she pays to everything that’s going on in her tales. Everything from the food to the settings to tender moments between the two main characters were described in great detail. All of these elements are important to me. The fact that this author pays close attention to both the erotic and the non-erotic parts of a story is a big part of the reason why I’m such a fan of her work.

Give Christmas Jinx a try if you’re in the mood for something decadent.

But as with any new relationship there can be bumps and it takes time to get comfortable with each other. Can these two couples combine their lives, love and create something new?

I really enjoyed this sensual story. It’s a progression from Sean Michael’s book “Blended Family” but can easily be read as a stand alone. Mr Michael has done an excellent job of laying out the backstory without massive info-dumps or making it feel like a rehash of old stuff. I was pleasantly impressed by the seamlessness of having Max, Peter, Devon and Swan’s story and relationship progress while still explaining how far they’d already come on this journey. I also really loved how all four characters had their own style and quirks. With four main characters it would be easy to have one or more appear too similar – or perhaps be somewhat overlooked in the narrative, but I found them to be all unique and interesting and take equal shares of the spotlight. The author is to be commended in my view for meshing the various threads of story perfectly to make an excellent foursome.

This is a highly erotic tale, and while there’s plenty of BDSM play and toys, I found it sweet, charming and extremely tasteful. I could also strongly appreciate how the plot and storyline basically *is* the foursome coming together. I loved reading about the small hiccups of couples moving in together, finding their new pace and settling in with each other. There of course was some outside conflict about half way through – and while I found the problem the four men faced sad, it was also a strong reminder of how some pockets of the world is today. Bittersweet. Most of all though, I loved seeing these characters I enjoy coming together, sharing their bodies and home and finding their new rhythm together.

I felt Combine is a strongly romantic story with excellent characters, a realistic plot and interactions and more than a hint of laughter. This is a wonderful story and one I happily found myself engrossed by. I can’t wait to crack it open and start reading it again for pure pleasure. A vibrant, wonderful tale.

Many women experience irregular menstruation, and they treatment it a order generic viagra cute-n-tiny.com little thing, but they ignore the possible danger for irregular menstruation.

Women Get More Information pill viagra may suffer from low stamina and this can cause a permanent damage to the penis, hence getting medical attention as early as possible is important to treat acidity effectively. Steve Petersen has been hoping his homosexual feelings are “just a phase.” But as a nineteen-year-old embarking on a two-year Mormon mission in South America, he realizes those feelings are still there, and that he’s attracted to another missionary — the companion he’s been assigned to be with twenty-four hours a day. Set in 1972, less than three years after Stonewall, these missionaries have been taught by their church that homosexuality is an abomination, and those who suffer from those tendencies must repent. Worse, they’re told that with God’s help, fervent prayer, and mind over matter, they can become heterosexuals. Steve’s conflict is real and heart-wrenching; he’s an official representative of his church, but he’s falling in love with his companion. Can he reconcile his church doctrine and the feelings in his heart?

Steve was nineteen in 1971 and a devout Mormon. That summer after finishing high school he studied hard in anticipation of leaving on a Mormon mission. Sent into a new country for his mission and assigned to his new partner/companion, Steve (Elder Peterson) was thrilled to find his partner was Elder Evans. Steve knew Randall from high school. Randall had been a few years ahead of him and very easy on the eye. Missionary life is a lot harder than Steve ever expected, and soon his need for Randall has become one of the most important things in his life.

This is a well written story, akin to a confessional or short biographical tale. Told in the first person, I found myself intrigued by the Mormon lifestyle Steve lived. On a mission in Columbia, in a strange country and feeling very isolated I understood a lot of the problems Steve found himself facing. His sexual attraction to Randall was a slow burn, growing and intensifying over time and feeling quite realistic. The strict and very strong religious beliefs, though, make me think this book definitely won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. The emotions are raw though and I found them very well written.

I really felt for Steve as he tried to sort through his homosexual thoughts and feelings. Particularly given the “historical” (1970s) time setting I can understand how confusing, taboo and difficult life must have felt for Steve. I connected with his character – despite knowing next to nothing about the Mormon religion. There is a non-penetrative sex scene near the middle and finally toward the end a proper, erotic sex scene that is graphic and has a very long lead-up to it. I found it emotional and explicit though very tastefully written. This isn’t a “usual” erotic romance story, but more a coming of age style story about one man discovering his sexuality and his true self in relation to his Mormon religious beliefs. Readers looking for a more regular “guy meets guy and hits it off” story mightn’t find what they’re looking for here, I still am glad to have read this story. It opened a window into a religion and lifestyle I don’t know much about and while I didn’t find it as titillating as some others might, I nevertheless don’t feel my time was wasted.

Well written and interesting, this book will not be every readers cup of tea. But for readers who enjoy coming of age style stories or who are curious about the Mormon religion and workings and don’t mind M/M relationships this might be an interesting book to try.

They say that everyone has a soulmate out there somewhere. Does the definition of the term everyone include vampires, though?

There was a nice balance between all of the various elements of this story. It was definitely erotica more than anything else, but the science fiction themes were also stronger than I expected them to be. I was pleasantly surprised by how much detail the author went into about who and what Emigh was. Knowing so much about her background really helped to flesh out her character, so to speak. Writing it that way was a good call on Ms. Bates part.

I would have liked the see things move more slowly between Emigh and Anise. They warmed up to each other faster than I would have expected based on their personalities and histories. Everything I’d learned about them made me think they’d both be cautious about pursuing anything with someone they’d just met, especially since there was so much they didn’t know about one another yet.

With that being said, the chemistry between these characters was phenomenal. Sometimes sparks do fly between two people right away, and the way they flew in this tale were as believable as they were sexy. While I didn’t know if or how everything would work out, I definitely wanted Anise and Emigh to end up together. Seeing how they interacted when they were in same place made me want to see it happen more often.

Give Everything Anise a try if you’re in the mood for something erotic.

The chemistry between the main character and her love interest was steamy. I particularly enjoyed seeing how it heated up over time. There is definitely something to be said for building the audience’s anticipation in advance. Ms. Brundage did a good job at both setting up the scene and making me yearn for these characters to get together.

This tale included flashbacks that took up a disproportionate amount of space in the storyline. While it was riveting to have these glimpses into Luanne’s past, there were too many of them for something of this length. Cutting back on them would have made it easier for me to focus on what she was doing at the cottage. At times it was also hard for me to figure out what was going on because I couldn’t quite tell if the current scene was happening now or was set in the recent past.

I’d never heard of Melusine before. The descriptions of who this individual was and where she came from were really interesting, especially once I realized that it was all based on a real legend. This was an intriguing way to frame an erotic story. It’s not something I’ve seen done very often, and I enjoyed seeing how all of the pieces fit together.

Another Creature should be read by anyone who likes introducing ancient legends into modern settings.

This is a fun, sharp read. I found myself almost immediately liking both Dill and Brad. I love Sean Michael’s writing style, and almost always fall into his stories within the first few pages. This was no exception. I really enjoyed how open to exploring Brad was. While he wasn’t interested in BDSM per se – he had an insatiable curiosity and loved learning all sorts of things. Dill uses this hunger for knowledge to draw Brad in, with wonderful results. I found Brad endearing – and laughed aloud at some of his thoughts and comments, like wanting some time to read up and research various sex toys and other items. Dill was also incredibly patient, and that was exactly what Brad needed.

While I’ve only read a few other of the Hammer books in this series, this stands very well on its own. The club and some of the other members we briefly met are well explained and I feel anyone could pick this up as a stand alone novel and not miss a thing. There is plenty of kink in this lovely novel (rimming, nipple play and other BDSM playing) but I really loved how so much more of the book was about two men learning about each other and starting a deep and loving relationship. There’s fun times with them cooking, having coffee, just getting to know each other outside the bedroom. While the sex is smoking hot and prolific, it’s not just a number of bedroom scenes strung together. Brad and Dill get to know each other on every level – and their relationship is romantic, emotional and far more than just excellent sex. The author has an amazing talent to mesh these two aspects together and making a novel that has the best of both worlds.

I found this to be an amazing M/M full of kink, humour and excellent characters. Readers don’t need to be familiar with the other Hammer novels, and I would heartily recommend this novel. I loved the characters and found myself eagerly turning the pages late into the night. A wonderful tale I will happily reread many times in the future.

Is a sexy country vet the cure for a love-sick city boy?

Simon had been jilted at the alter by Richard and then promptly lost his job. With no income of his own, and also the loss of his partner of two years sharing the bills, Simon knows he also likely will soon lose his apartment. Things can’t really get that much worse. So Simon decides to relocate out in the country. His Uncle Tiberius owns a farm and Simon recalls having a fun-filled two weeks out there one summer back in his childhood. But of course living in the country after a lifetime in the city isn’t as easy as Simon expected, nor was the complexities involved in starting a relationship so far out in the country.

A little slow to begin with, this nevertheless is a good, fun, city-boy-goes-country style story. The beginning – where Richard stands Simon up at the alter, followed by his outrageous scene leaving his job and making the decision to move to his Uncle’s farm is all well written and really fun to read. But I couldn’t help but feel while reading this first third of the book that this was all “background” material. A quicker, pass through these scenes – amazing as they were – would have sat better with me and given us a faster opening to Gentry and Simon’s introduction and the true plot unfolding. I enjoyed seeing Simon go through the pain and heartache, but felt impatient for the “real” story to begin. This could have just been me though, and other readers might prefer the meandering way the plot moves and taking their time to come to the real relationship here – Simon and Gentry. They don’t really kick off their relationship until half way through the book, but some readers might enjoy this slower pace.

Once Simon and Gentry started to become involved, I found the story to be both funny and romantic. Their relationship progressed at the same slow, easy mosey as the rest of the story does, so the story is quite consistent in its pacing. I would strongly recommend this story for more traditional romance readers who like a lot of character development and time spent with their plot being fleshed out. This would be an excellent introduction-style story for readers new to M/M romances in my mind. There is only the one erotic scene, right at the very end of the story (and a few chaste kisses scattered through the last quarter of the story) and there is nothing in it that I feel pushes the envelope or is outrageously explicit. As such, straight romance readers looking to dip a toe into erotic literature (and/or M/M romance) should be warmly satisfied with this as an experimental try.

Both Simon and Gentry’s characters are well explored and the romance between them is tastefully written. I found the pacing a little slow for my personal preference, and would have liked a bit more spice to an erotic story, but I can’t fault the plot, characterization or warmth infused in this fun, lighthearted story. I also enjoyed the author’s voice – this is a good story told in a humorous, friendly fashion that is as addictive as it is fun. A good read I thoroughly enjoyed.
