Title: Kissing Frogs by Terry Wylis
Dreamspun Beyond
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Genre: Contemporary, Gay, Paranormal, Romance
Length: 198 pages/Word Cout: 55,931

Summary:

Modern-day American “prince” Ellis Faraday has a problem: he’s been a frog for a year, his time before hibernation is ending, and he’s afraid there will be nothing left of him come spring. The castle-house up the hill seems like a promising place to start looking for a cure… if he can convince a human to take him seriously. A conversation—and maybe a kiss—with the pretty man who owns the koi pond might do the trick.

On a Friday night, Galen Townsend just wants to curl up and read in the backyard of the house he shares with his brothers, but the frog addressing him from the wall of the koi pond has him questioning his sanity. Moreso when he gives the frog a peck on the nose—just to be nice—and the frog becomes a handsome, precious man.

Unfortunately, Galen’s “cure” proves temporary. After a few hours, Ellis is back to hopping and croaking, but at least he has an ally and a warm place to stay. Now they just have to keep Galen’s brothers from discovering a frog in the house while they work out how to break the spell. How many kisses can it possibly take?

Title: Shameless Affairs by Hayden Hall
Destined to Fail Book Two
Publisher: Hayden Hall
Genre: Contemporary, Bisexual, Gay, Romance
Length: 272 pages

Summary:

I never wanted anyone this much. Especially not a guy.

Aaron stumbled into my arms and I wasn’t able to let go of him since. Wounded, he needs a place to crash and a friend to help him through. He’s so hurt and lost that he makes me want to be his protector against the world.

But strange, new feelings rise very quickly. Being around him makes me imagine things a straight guy has no business wanting. Least of all a taken, straight guy. But the longer he’s with us, the more I want him all for myself.

Until my girl sparks one fight too many, then goes away. And it’s just us boys. And I see the look of desire in his eyes.

How many bridges will we burn? How many hearts will we break? How far are we willing to go in the name of love?

Shameless Affairs is the second novel in the Destined to Fail series. This book explores the themes of infidelity and love that requires sacrifices. It includes close proximity, bisexual awakening, and a gray take on the ‘cheating with each other’ trope. While this is the second novel in the series, it can be read as a complete standalone (but it’s more fun to read in the order of release).

Length: 194 pages

Summary:

What does a clumsy hottie do when he meets a handsome detective he’s sure is out of his league?

Beau is deadly serious when it comes to his job as a homicide detective for the LVMPD. He also has a taste for the finer things in life, but no time to enjoy much of anything with such a heavy caseload. How could he when there’s a serial killer terrorizing the streets of Las Vegas?

Investigative Technician Austin never met a snarky joke he didn’t like, or a set of stairs that couldn’t trip him up. One night after a devastating episode at work, Austin sees something else he likes. However, there’s no way the gorgeous detective he’s spotted around the station would be interested in a goofy klutz like him.

Beau and Austin’s worlds collide when Austin is sent to pick up some evidence at the station. Amidst a myriad of twists and turns in the troubling serial killer-style murders of Vegas conventioneers, Austin and Beau discover there’s more to each other than they assumed.

Can they make a true connection despite their differences? Or will the killer have the final say?

Note: Justice Prevails is the third book in the exciting first responder/crime series, Sin City Uniforms. It was previously published with a different cover under the same title. This edition has been re-edited, but there is no additional content. It can be read as a standalone, but the series is best enjoyed in order. Triggers include drunkenness, descriptions of death, peril and homeless teens. You can expect a high stakes romance between two men who are complete opposites, steamy interludes plus a chilling suspense mystery.

Title: Jaime by S.A. Sway
Single Dads of Gaynor Beach #13
Publisher: Blue Crescent Books
Genre: Contemporary, Gay, Romance
Length: 198 pages

Summary:

My life is turned upside down when I’m suddenly given custody of my sister’s infant daughter.

I’d already been trying to figure things out and get my life on track. The sudden pressure of caring for a newborn is just too much for me. I am not sure how to cope. I guess that’s why I formed a fascination with a local children’s show host and author.

Mr. Macintosh knows kids. He’s calm and stable and dependable. He’s everything I wish I was. His show is the only thing in this world to offer me any comfort. I’ve never wanted a man before but suddenly, I crave him, his stability, soothing voice, advice. I’ll take whatever I can get.

Ethan Mack

As a local children’s entertainer, I’m used to parent fans, but Jaime is different.

In my life, I’ve only known one other person who was so obviously overwhelmed and it didn’t end well. The trauma has pushed me forward all these years but now, suddenly I feel like I have a second chance to right things.

Helping Jaime and his daughter won’t fix the tragedies in my past, but I can’t stop myself from trying. If anyone can make this right, it’s me. I’ll do whatever it takes to make Jaime happy.

Jaime is a single-dad romance, set in the shared world of Gaynor Beach. It features some dark themes but is primarily about finding support, a family, and love when you least expect it.

Note: SA Sway is the contemporary pen name of Sienna Sway.
