I kept stopping after each chapter to reflect on their journey and experiences together..
I didn’t want this story to end as it’s just so amazingly good.
Alex, who owns the local bar Timber, somehow always gets under Fire Chief Judd Kincaid’s skin, and their banter is perfect . Beneath the teasing and irritation, the tension between them simmers in the best way.
The story is emotional, funny, and full of great chemistry, and the ending was absolutely perfect. A fantastic read.
Lucy Lennox is a USA Today bestselling author and winner of the A.C. Katt Gay Debut Novel Award.
After enjoying creative writing as a child, Lucy didn’t write her first novel until she was over 40 years old. Her debut novel, Borrowing Blue, was published in the autumn of 2016. Lucy has an English Literature degree from Vanderbilt University, but that doesn’t hold a candle to the years and years of staying up all night reading tantalizing novels on her own. She has three children, plays tennis, and hates folding laundry. While her husband is no shmoopy romance hero, he is very good at math, cooks a mean lasagne, has gorgeous eyes, looks hot in his business clothes, and makes her laugh every single day. She writes gay romance with heart, humor, and heat!

To the world, Callahan is hockey’s prettiest problem—an heir to the league’s empire, a walking scandal wrapped in talent and trouble.
To Nazar, he's the bastard who torpedoed his draft-day dreams.
Being forced onto the same team is its own kind of hell. Their brutal on-ice rivalry bleeds into something too heated to control the moment the gear comes off.
But when one desperate clash goes too far, it's Nazar who slams on the brakes, shattering the moment and sending Kai running. Not just out of the room, but off the team entirely.
Weeks later, he sees the news: Callahan, wearing the jersey he’s wanted his whole life.
What was a rivalry is now a personal war. Underneath the traded insults and media-fueled hatred, a fierce craving still burns, threatening to consume them both.
Because Nazar Rykov has never been merciful about taking what he wants.
I was, and still am, completely hooked on this book. Nazar and Kai start as undeniable enemies, their rivalry sharp , but as their lives become more tangled, something deeper begins to take shape.
Watching them slowly lower their defences and finally let themselves love each other was genuinely beautiful.
Their chemistry is intense, their dynamic addictive, and the emotional payoff is so worth the ride.
A fantastic MM hockey romance filled with passion, tension, and heart. Highly recommend!
about the author:
Sasha is an author of plot-heavy, spice-heavy MM romance whose stories are only created with the essential presence of a feline muse. For this devoted cat enthusiast, a novel simply isn't complete unless a cat can also take part in the drama.
I am vengeance.Tate Aaralyn, a lone vampire vigilante who strikes fear into the hearts of monsters. My fangs puncture, and the flavor of iron-infused retribution drips down my throat when I exact justice.
Don’t be like them. Don’t succumb to bloodlust. Make the b*stards pay.
These rules have been my guide, leading me through life in the Glenn. And all had been flowing nicely until I met him…The male cloaked in secrets, wrapped in darkness, and holding the keys to my past and future: Aether.
Complex. Messy. Unexpected.
My whole world slipped into a tailspin of lies, betrayal, and secrets. As I'm forced into the guara with a male I loathe, yet somehow crave, I must not only untangle the truth of who I am, but also what I am.
I am the enforcer.Chance Dale, the vampire president’s son with a prestigious position as Dux in the guara. I command respect and provide results. I will not let the Glenn down.
Not as I hunt the traitor living among us. Not as dark magic’s inky ways begin to seep into our villages. Not as vile beasts fill them.
Nothing will stop me from this path, not even her. Even if one thing is clear: the very enemy I hunt, may be the one I love.
Fangs of Fate is an epic first-person dual-POV romantasy that will leave you breathless! Buckle up, grab a glass of bloodwine, and clear your calendar for this morally-grey, intrigue-infused, and action-packed romance that stars vampires, dragon shifters, corruption, and deception — and secrets that can break even the strongest...
Wow! This book is chock a block full of steamy scenes, action, and plenty of twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Now, this book was a lot longer than I thought it would be but it’s needed!
Rebecca Parcha describes the world she created so well and believable even though it’s a world full of vampires and other mystical creatures.
Tate Aaralyn is a vampire but has always seen herself as different than most of the other in the Glenn. She firmly believes in her morals that ALL should be protected, not just vampire kind. Unfortunately, those morals tend to get her in a bit of trouble and she finds herself in front of a disciplinary hearing that doesn’t go her way.
When she finds herself in the presence of Aether, a vampire who isn’t like any she’s ever met before she feels this connection that she can’t describe. She can’t stand him but yet keeps feeling this draw toward him.
Tate along with her new friends must battle these dark magic created creatures that keep attacking their villages while also discovering a new side to herself that she never expected. Her power is growing exponentially and only her new friends seem to be able to help her get a handle on it.
The action scenes are next level in this book and I’m all here for it! The author describes them so well but doesn’t go into too much detail. It’s just right.
I honestly can’t wait to dive into the next book and find out what happens!
I love all things fiction, specifically, fantasy. Add a little romance, or sometimes a whole heap, and you’ll find my specialty: romantasy. As an avid reader and devourer of all things Fae, dragon, and magical, my work (as you may have guessed) is centered in that world. I love a strong female protagonist who defies the patriarchy while learning to love and trust.
I am one of the lucky ones; I married my high school sweetheart and am a mother of two adorable, rambunctious boys. As a Colorado native, I love the sunshine and crisp air while enjoying the outdoors with my guys…have I mentioned I’m outnumbered?
Stories have always held me captive—they are the air I breathe. It is my purest pleasure to share the tales that have been burning in my heart. To see a full list of my works, please visit my website: www.rebeccaparcha.com

Moving back home to join the Green Mountain Ballet Company came with numerous perks. Better pay, bigger roles, and the chance to dance on the same stage where I first fell in love with ballet. It has a few notable drawbacks as well, like my family's interference in my personal life. When my mom won't stop pestering me about dating, I do the only rational thing: invent a boyfriend.
The problem with fake boyfriends is that they're not real, which means bringing them to a holiday function is a challenge. Enter my childhood best friend, Aidan. We might not be close anymore, but that doesn't stop us from hatching a plan. We'll pretend to date through New Year's to keep everyone happy. Once the holidays and Nutcracker season are over, we can break up (and remain friends, of course).
It's a foolproof plan, so why does it feel like I'm ruining everything?
Covey and Aidan’s story is full of sweetness and chaos in the best possible way.
Covey is a bundle of energy—passionate, spontaneous, and full of life. His fake dating idea was never meant to change anything, but it ends up bringing his childhood best friend, Aidan, back into his world.
Aidan, calm and steady, is used to a bit of chaos—especially when it comes to Covey. But he never expected to fall for him all over again.
A sweet, funny, and beautifully written friends-to-lovers romance that left me smiling the whole way through.

Whoever convinced me that quitting my job as an interpreter to take over my dead aunt’s farm should be covered in honey and left for the ants.
Oh wait…that was me.
I was burnt out and ready for a change, but I didn’t expect what came with it.
An orchard full of fruit I’m allergic to.
A bunch of farm equipment I don’t know how to use.
And a vindictive, vicious groundhog who has made it his life’s mission to drive me to the brink of madness.
But in my quest to find a permanent solution for Michael, I’ve also acquired something else I didn’t expect: a stalker.
I should be more concerned that the man offering to sell me TNT has followed me home, but Thorne is the most gorgeous thing I have ever laid eyes on, and we communicate well.
With our hands in ASL, yeah, but also with our lips, tongues, hips…and other parts of the body.
It’s also increasingly obvious that Thorne is much more than a stalker. With my focus on trying to stop Michael from using his little paws to dig my grave, though, it’s hard to worry about his secrets.
But skeletons never stay buried for long, and when everything comes to light, I can’t help but wonder if Thorne is the best thing that will ever happen to me, or the worst.
ILY is the second book in the Deaf Hearts series and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. It’s a spicy, MM, strangers to lovers rom-com featuring a burnt out, not-quite farmer, a tall, dark, and handsome man with a mission and a secret, a groundhog that knows more than everyone else, and a toe-curling, feet-kicking happily ever after.
Such a hilarious book that kept me glued to the pages. Thorne and Leaf are completely opposite’s somehow the craziness that envelops them works . Miscommunication is rife and extremely funny. Terrific banter with outrageous situations.
