Shift Work - T.A. Moore

He’s going to need to deal with both before he can head for his bed. Or anyone else’s. Although not much chance of that. Reluctantly partnered with the acerbic security consultant Cade Deacon—last seen naked in the elevator—Marlow delves into the … Read more

Pinot & Pineapple Lumps - Jay Hogan

Genre: Romance, Contemporary LGBTQ+ Category: MM Gay Reviewer: Maryann Get It On Amazon About The Book Penn from Adelaide. That’s all I knew. We shared a single kiss over a year ago, and I can still remember every toe-curling second of it. He thought I was too young for him. I thought he was running scared.

Something my protective older brother isn’t too happy about. I’ve been through more than most guys my age, and I still bear the scars. My head’s … Read more
