#review #audiobook #MMRomance –Yanni’s Story (Spencer Cohen #4) by: N.r. Walker Narrated by: Joel Leslie

Leave a comment

NEW 2023 COVERS – NO NEW CONTENT HAS BEEN ADDED

Spencer Cohen Series Book Four

When Yanni Tomaras is kicked out of his family home, his parents’ final words are religious insults and an order to never return. Homeless and desperate, he’s lured in by Lance—charming on the outside, an evil predator underneath—who abuses Yanni until he finds the courage to leave. Yanni should feel free. But by the time Spencer Cohen finds him, he’s resigned to being handed back to Lance and once again being caged by fear.

Starting school and a part-time job, Yanni begins to reclaim his life. But a love for silent films leads him to Peter Hannikov, a man with a kind heart but who’s twice his age. An unlikely friendship between them blooms into so much more. Neither man knows what he wants, at first. Finding out exactly what he needs is Yanni’s story.

“I’d spent years as a bird, caged with my wings clipped, tormented and beaten. I thought I’d escaped when I’d left my abuser, but in hindsight, I could see that I was still caged, this time by fear and self-doubt. Spencer and Andrew, and Andrew’s parents, opened the door to the cage that confined me. But it was Peter who taught me how to fly.”

120,000 words. Can be read as a stand alone.
Trigger Warning: Descriptions of violence, suicide, and sexual assault. Reader discretion advised.

Amazon

Goodreads

**Please read the trigger warnings there are things mentioned in this book that may not be for everyone.
Yanni is basically just trying to survive each day. He’s tired of running. Tired of hiding. He has no choice though. If his ex ever finds him, he will more than likely kill him. Yanni is staying with Andrew’s parents, The Landons, while waiting for a room to come available. He is enjoying his time with them so much. Since his parents are no longer in his life, it is nice to have parental figures. And the Landons love him like one of their own and he is beyond grateful for that.
If you’ve been paying attention, we met Yanni when Spencer found him for his ex, thinking he was doing good but soon found out that was not the case. Spencer is also the reason for Yanni and Peter meeting. The 2 meet up as friends for afternoon matinees and chats over coffee for a while and both find themselves wanting more with the other. Peter is so patient. Giving Yanni the time he needs to work through the trauma caused by his ex.
Some swoonworthy lines from Peter…
“What do you need right now? Do I give you some space rn or do I give you a hug? I dont want to get it wrong.”
“I wanna hold you and tell you it’ll be okay but I dont want to scare you off.”
Peter is also a Daddy looking for his Boy. Now normally that would turn me away from a story because its just not my thing. But this book is by N.R Walker. I’ve loved all the words I have read by them so I trusted the process and I’m so glad I did.
Yanni was broken before Peter. I don’t know that he could have fully healed without Peter. Peter makes Yanni whole. He is the other half of his soul and Yanni needed all of Peter to heal. Especially the Daddy side. This was a beautiful story.

N.R. Walker is an Australian author who loves her genre of LGBTQIA+ romance. First published in 2012, she now has over 70 books, many which are also audiobooks, and numerous translations done in nine different languages.

She loves writing and spends far too much time doing it but wouldn’t have it any other way.

I hope you enjoy getting to know a little about all of these wonderful authors and their work.

 

🏳‍🌈 Tell us your name and a little bit about yourself?
Hi, I’m Audrey. I’m an artist as well as an author with a BFA in animation and game design. I love drawing characters and fantasy maps and you’ll see both in my books, especially the paperback of Shadows Dark and Deadly. Lots of art in that one. I write epic romantic fantasy and under the pen name Andrea Marie Johnson, I write polyam romantasy. All of it’s queer and writing these stories has helped me understand myself better and to accept that I’m bi and nonbinary. One last thing: I’m obsessed with frogs. If you got a little frog at WotR last year that was from my table and if you didn’t get a little frog, you can get one this year ^_^
🏳‍🌈 What is the title of your most recent release?
Shadows Dark and Deadly under the Andi Marie pen name.
🏳‍🌈 Is there a book or a movie that has helped you have a better understanding of a current or past event in LGBTQ history?
Not a book or movie but a play. Years ago there was a small theater in Canton IL that put on The Laramie Project. It’s a devastatingly true story that I hadn’t heard before and it’s stuck with me.
🏳‍🌈 If you could have dinner with a famous person from the LGBTQ community, past or present, who would that be and why?
I think it would be fun to sit down with Elliot Page. He seems like he’d be a cool dude to talk to.
🏳‍🌈 Do you have a favorite review(s) of one of your books left by a reader? Care to share the title of the book, the review, and why this one stood out to you?
Not an official review but a reader told me Shadows Dark and Deadly made them cry which of course made me cackle like the witch from Snow White!

#review #standalone #mmromance –Risk the Fall by: Riley Hart

Leave a comment

Riven

I’ve never been great at letting people in. Life is easier if I bury my feelings. People tend to let you down, which is only proven when my best friend, Rex, accidentally kills a man and lets me take the fall.

When I get out of prison, the last thing I want is to go back to Clayton, Oregon, but it’s where my grandma lives, the only person who’s always had my back. My plan is to stay out of trouble, steer clear of my old crew, save up, and the second we can, leave town for good.

 

Parrish

I want nothing to do with my family and their illegal activities. With Riven back, I worry things will get worse. He and Rex have always brought out the worst in each other, but then I discover Riven went to prison for something my brother did, and my family isn’t happy to have him home.

Riven wants nothing to do with me, and I don’t blame him. But like a moth to the flame, I’m drawn to him. It starts out as mutual lust, Riven sating the pleasure he craves, while I get to fulfill my first-crush fantasies. But with every moment, I see there’s more to Riv than anyone knows.

Not everyone would see him as a good man, but to me, he’s the boy who used to try to keep my family’s lifestyle from becoming mine.

And now he’s the man who risked his heart to fall in love with me…and the one who’d risk more to protect me.

Risk the Fall is an ex-best friend’s brother romance that contains violence, drug use, crime, and death of a non-main character.

Amazon

Goodreads

Rivan went to prison for his best friend. He is home now and nothing is the same. He hates the entire Hunt family so can someone please explain to him why Parrish Hunt, his ex best friends little brother, is stirring something primal in the man he can no longer ignore.

Parrish had a crush on Rivan when he was younger and now that the man is back in town, Parrish is finding the flame he has always kind of held for the other man is still burning bright. Getting Rivan to feel or express any sort of emotion is going to be a difficult task but Parrish is ready for the challenge.

This is more than just a silly crush, its a once in a lifetime kind of love and all I wanted was for the men to have their happily ever after because no 2 people deserve it more.

#WOTR25 #Mafia #Dark #NewRelease – Devious Madness by Measha Stone

Leave a comment



She ran. I chased. Now she’s mine.

Tracking down Mira was supposed to be just another job. She thought she could disappear—cover her tracks, hide behind false names and small towns—but I found her. Mira Pierce is tangled up in a mess bigger than she realizes, and I’m the one tasked to drag her back home, kicking and screaming if necessary.

But getting Mira home isn’t easy. She fights like a cornered animal, desperate to escape the secrets she’s hiding. Her defiance ignites something dark and possessive inside me, something that threatens the cold control I pride myself on. The longer we’re together, the more I realize Mira isn’t just a job—she’s an obsession.

If I don’t deliver Mira safely, innocent lives hang in the balance. But the deeper I get, the harder it becomes to choose between duty and desire. Losing Mira isn’t an option, but keeping her might just cost me everything.

If you crave the possessive darkness of Zoe Blake and the pulse-racing tension of Jane Henry, DEVIOUS MADNESS will be your next addiction.

Grab your copy of DEVIOUS MADNESS now and surrender to the thrill.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Another yummy Mafia story with amazing heat and steam. Mira Mira Mira….running away and thinking that they family wont find you! GIRL!! I mean I might run away if Rurik was going to chase. *Wink* LOL

Mira and Rurik were a fun and explosive story to read. They were definitely worth every page turn. Rurik had his hands full with Mira and her lack of self love/self worth. But Rurik did all he could to keep her safe even when I wanted to throttle her for making dumb decisions. GIRL…STOP ALREADY!!

NEW 2023 COVERS – NO NEW CONTENT HAS BEEN ADDED

Learning to be in a committed relationship has been easy for Spencer. In fact, too easy. Andrew has fit into his life seamlessly. Spencer’s let go of his insecurities and hang-ups, and he and Andrew are enjoying where things are headed. For the first time in years, Spencer’s life is unbelievably perfect.

Andrew overthinks everything. So when Spencer gets a phone call from Australia, he’s certain Spencer will push him away. But instead of driving them apart, maybe it will solidify what they already have. Maybe Spencer will depend on Andrew more than ever.

Maybe the Spencer Cohen story will come full circle, and maybe, just maybe, Spencer will have the happily ever after he never thought possible.

Amazon

 

Goodreads

All I really wanted was for these 2 to get their happily ever after. They were perfect for one another. There were a few bumps along the way getting there which could have been avoided through better communication between Spencer and Andrew. In the end though, the grand gestures made up for the miscommunications. I know this series will be read over and over again because its just THAT GOOD! Spencer and Andrew were terrific but the motley crew of supporting characters made this series even better.

N.R. Walker is an Australian author who loves her genre of LGBTQIA+ romance. First published in 2012, she now has over 70 books, many which are also audiobooks, and numerous translations done in nine different languages.

Celebrating Pride Month with Vinni George #wotr25 #attendingauthor #pridespotlight

Happy Pride Month everyone!  Twinsie Tenise here. I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who took the time to answer the questions for our pride month celebration. I had fun coming up with this years set of questions.  We will be celebrating all month with author spotlights  as well as my reviews for  some of the LGBTQIA  books I’ve read this year.  Check back daily to see what’s going  on and add to your TBR piles. I hope you enjoy getting to know a little about all of these wonderful authors and their work.

🏳‍🌈 Tell us your name and a little bit about yourself?
Hi everyone! I’m Vinni George. I write LGBTQ+ romance (mostly MM with some FF coming in 2026) in several subgenres including contemporary, shifter romantic suspense, and shifter MPREG (omegaverse where male omegas can get pregnant and have babies). When I’m not writing, I can be found working in the accounting and HR department at my family’s business. I live in Ohio (outside Cleveland) with my husband and son. I love to travel, I’m 100% a Disney adult, and I’m addicted to all things cute. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community and identify as panromantic and demisexual.
🏳‍🌈 What is the title of your most recent release?
My most recent release is Monochrome, book 4 in my ORCA (Organization for the Return of Criminals and Assets) series. This series follows four orca (killer whale) shifter brothers as they meet their fated mates and work to solve a mystery that affects their whole family. You can find the series on Amazon (in KU, ebook, and paperback) here: mybook.to/ORCASeries
🏳‍🌈 Is there a book or a movie that has helped you have a better understanding of a current or past event in LGBTQ history?
I can’t think of a book or movie that helped me understand an event in LGBTQ+ history, but Annabeth Albert’s Out of Uniform series helped me to better understand and label my own LGBTQ+ identity.
🏳‍🌈 If you could have dinner with a famous person from the LGBTQ community, past or present, who would that be and why?
Ooooh, tough question. My gut instinct is to say Sappho because I love Greek mythology, and I’d love to learn more about her life and the world in general during the time of the ancient Greeks.
🏳‍🌈 Do you have a favorite review(s) of one of your books left by a reader? Care to share the title of the book, the review, and why this one stood out to you?
This review for Jonah and the Narwhal, book 1 in my Land & Sea shifter MPREG series, is my absolute favorite! OMG Vinni!!!When you step out you step out…LOL…this mpreg was great. I read a lot of mpreg/shifter/alpha&omega romances and I thoroughly enjoyed your paranormal world. It was passionate, romantic, warm and inviting…very low on the angst scale(which I LOVE). Jonah and his hot older doctor Edwin had that instant connection that couldn’t be denied…fated mates….LOVED IT! Glad I had an opportunity to read this because I would have sooooo disappointed if I missed out on something special and this series looks like it will be. 5STARS!!!! This stood out to me because this reader found me through my contemporary titles and took a chance on my first shifter MPREG book.

Finally going from fake boyfriends to the real thing, Spencer Cohen and Andrew Landon are trying to take things slow. They know what they have could be something special and despite the flammable sexual tension, they don’t want to crash and burn.

Spencer is learning to open up and share the secrets of his past with Andrew. Afraid to put his heart on the line but unable to stop himself, Spencer knows he’s falling in love. Andrew is petrified of leaping in blindly, yet the slower they go, the faster they fall.

As they navigate their new relationship, Spencer worries Andrew will freak out when he takes on a new client. But it’s not a normal case, and Spencer soon realises all is not what it seems. When the job takes a downward turn, Spencer and Andrew work together to help the client. They’ll need to decide if they’re ready for the next step.

Spencer and Andrew are boyfriends! Seriously though, if you didn’t see this coming you weren’t paying attention. These 2 men are too freaking cute together. They honestly deserve one another. They have both needed someone to take care of them and put them first for once. I feel like everyone EXCEPT FOR Spencer and Andrew knew the pair was in love. They’ve been through a lot of stuff in their short time together so you would think one of them would profess their love for the other, right? Right!?! Gah! Okay, moving on to book 3.

N.R. Walker is an Australian author who loves her genre of LGBTQIA+ romance. First published in 2012, she now has over 70 books, many which are also audiobooks, and numerous translations done in nine different languages.

🏳‍🌈 Tell us your name and a little bit about yourself?
My name is Tricia Andersen and I write a little bit of everything when it comes to romance. I have Contemporary, Historical, Fantasy, Paranormal, Paranormal/Greek god (yes, both in the same book!), Fighter (MMA), and a Small Town Friends to Lovers.
🏳‍🌈 What is the title of your most recent release?
At the Speed of Light (Gods of DC 5)
🏳‍🌈 Is there a book or a movie that has helped you have a better understanding of a current or past event in LGBTQ history?
Angels in America. I read it in college and it gave such a in depth look at gay men in the 90’s. It is actually one of my favorite plays to read. I’m sad I haven’t seen it performed yet.
🏳‍🌈 If you could have dinner with a famous person from the LGBTQ community, past or present, who would that be and why?
Matt Bomer. I loved watching him in White Collar, and I think that we would have an amazing conversation.
🏳‍🌈 I can hear the complaints now. If you think 1 person is unfair please use this space for additional dinner guests and why you chose them.
Anyone can come join us! The more the merrier!
🏳‍🌈 Do you have a favorite review(s) of one of your books left by a reader? Care to share the title of the book, the review, and why this one stood out to you?
It’s At the Speed of Light and it was written by Dee on Goodreads. I love it because it tells a side of the story that I may not have explained well. I am not great at writing blurbs. The tears in reality have put the gods and goddesses of Olympus on edge. Despite the stress his family is under, Apollo finds himself first in the arms of a mysterious jinn then a feisty Foirmir. While exploring the deep emotions he has for his new lovers, the tears begin to appear where mortal now live and play, putting the innocent humans in danger of an alternate, deadly realm the Olympians and their loved ones have already experienced. He and his family race against the clock to find the source of the rends. But what will he do when he finds out that the one creating the trouble is closer to him than his own heart? What will the god of the sun sacrifice to keep the world as he knows, as well as the man and woman that he loves more than his own existence, safe?
