Excerpt From Catching Kalen by Maya Nicole & Britt Andrews

His eyebrow lifted mimicking the corner of his mouth. “Monroe. And you are?” He sat back against the stool, cool as a cucumber, but there was something about him that made my heart race.

Annnnd that was ridiculous. He’d said like… three things to me, but it was really about the way he carried himself, like he could decimate a man with his brain or some shit. Fuck, the tequila was kicking in.

“Kalen,” I replied as the bartender put our drinks down. Monroe slipped her a bill, telling her to keep the change. He picked up his glass of whiskey and motioned for me to do the same.

“Well, Kalen. What should we toast to tonight? New adventures? Good times?” An emotion I couldn’t place flashed across his face, and I swallowed, my throat suddenly tight.

“All of the above,” I rasped, pushing my glass against his before throwing it back, shutting my eyes as the liquid burned going down.

As I opened my eyes, I brought my glass down, and a little drop of liquor slid down my chin.

Monroe’s eyes tracked its path, and before I could lift my hand to wipe it away, his thumb

swiped it off my warm skin.

I sat there frozen. What the hell was that? Blinking, I glanced around the bar, but nobody was paying any attention to the man who just wiped tequila off of my face with his thumb.

Since I was a glutton for punishment, I looked over at him. He was smirking at me. Smirking. All I could do was stare in fascination as he took the thumb that was still wet and popped it into his mouth.

Jesus Christ. My cock twitched in my jeans. I didn’t know what was happening, but I felt really hot and confused… and hot. I needed to get out of there.

Excerpt From Mr. Mystery by Lana Kole

Jason swallowed back his curse and waited as patiently as one could while color floated around him as everyone retrieved their shots and fresh drinks. It seemed like ages, and a ton of empty congratulations from faceless people, before he reached the bar.

He ended up beside a flashy guy in a maroon suit. It cupped his ass nicely, and Jason gave him a second glance. A martini glass sat in front of him, and the man tilted his head back with his shot. The bartender eyed Jason once, saw the direction of his gaze, and skedaddled to the end of the bar.

When Red sat the shot glass back down, his head turned left and right before he paused in the direction of the bartender. His shoulders slumped, and Jason sidled up to him.

“L, guess you’re right. You are the one getting lucky tonight. Hope he’s Mr. Right,” he growled just loud enough for Jason to hear him as the song changed.

“Who’s Mr. Right?” he asked, leaning down.

A sparkling black mask turned in his direction. Behind the dripping effect that curved over his cheeks and nose, a pair of bright blue eyes peered at him.

“No one. That’s the problem,” he answered without missing a beat.

Jason chuckled. “A pessimist. A man after my own heart.”

“Give me a few more drinks and I’ll be as optimistic as anyone,” Red muttered.

As he tilted the martini glass back with lithe fingers, Jason got a look at the front of his suit. Or more specifically, the collar that wrapped around his throat and dipped beneath his black shirt.

Jason swallowed.

Holy hell. He’d never seen someone wear a harness like that so openly. So naturally.

He wanted to slide his index finger beneath the leather and his skin and feel his Adam’s apple bob as he swallowed.

Maybe even around his cock.

Jason cleared his throat and motioned for the bartender. He needed a drink, quick. Jason wasn’t one to hook up, not usually. It was too risky and usually resulted in more trouble than it was worth.

But Red here? With that spicy little collar just begging to be played with?

He’d take a chance on it.

Excerpt From Hemlock & Thorns by J.J. Riley and Suki Gale

“Welcome to Hemlock & Thorns,” I greeted the gorgeous, tattooed, and annoyed man standing near the door. “What can I help you with today?”

            The man in question looked up at me and while I could tell by the firm set of his shoulders that he was frustrated, it didn’t seem to be with me. Which I counted myself fortunate because he might be the hottest person I’ve seen in quite a long time. A black wide brimmed hat that hipsters were inclined to wear, a long, but well-maintained beard, a white t-shirt was visible under his black and red plaid button up, cuffed blue jeans, and black boots completed the look. As he stalked over to me I took in his warm brown eyes that took me in, with one quick look up and down.

            “Hey man,” he gave me a brief smile. “I need your help and your shop seems like the perfect place for what I need.”

            Taken aback by his deep, rumbling voice and his words it took me a minute to respond. “What might that be?”

            “I know there is this whole language of flowers thing,” he waved his hands a bit, like he was too angry to find the words. “I need a bouquet that says ‘fuck you’ for my ex-girlfriend who isn’t taking the hint, something for her to leave me the hell alone. You have anything that can help me with that?”

Amazon Link

Goodreads Link

Blurb

Jasper was finally home after several failed business ventures, realizing he was far too laid back for the corporate lifestyle. Living in Echo Bay again was not how he saw his life going and opening a bar was never in the plan. Despite that, he does his best to learn to appreciate what he has and works hard to make a life for himself. When the adorable geek next door inadvertently starts a prank war, he doesn’t hesitate to show him how to lighten up.

Ezra wanted to own his own bakery more than anything. Taking over his favorite childhood bakery only made the dream that much sweeter. What he hadn’t bargained for was the sexy and frustrating bar owner next door. When he develops feelings for his cocky neighbor, he realizes he may be in over his head.

When one of their pranks goes hilariously wrong, they realize they just might mean more to each other than they anticipated. But can a quiet geek and an outgoing playboy make things work?

This is a mm romance that contains sexual themes and is intended for readers 18+

Review 

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Pranked is the first book in the Echo Bay series by JJ Riley and Suki Gale. 

It's the story of two men who get to know each other through pulling pranks. I hate pranks, as in think they are evil. But, these ones are great in that they don't harm one another. 

Jasper and Ezra come together in a tender love story. These two men butt heads at the beginning, but in the end, they are so wonderful together.

This is the story of a man affected by his past, never able to get beyond it. There are painful memories as he struggles to put the past behind him. 

The authors excel in their illustration that everyone has something they're ashamed of; everyone has their demons. They clearly explore that what one does in the past is just that and that the past does not define us. 

Don't be fooled though. Despite it's heavy and serious lesson, this story is full of humor, light-hearted and feel good moments. 

Pranked is a story showing that learning to listen, understand, and forgive makes everything better. And most of all, this JJ Riley and Suki Gale tale is one of family. The story is meaningful and poignant, as well as delightful. I am impressed and can't wait for more from this small town.
