Many thanks to RJ Scott for donating an ebook copy of her forthcoming m/m romantic suspense, Still Waters (Sanctuary #4), for a lucky commenter to win! Still Waters will be released by Silver Publishing on May 19.

Adam is given an assignment – to work with a man he hates. The same man who didn’t trust him two years before and destroyed their relationship in a single day.

Lee is adamant that he needs to understand why Adam betrayed the Bureau and the Bullen case is the perfect cover to get back in his ex-lover’s life.

Against the backdrop of Sanctuary and the Bullen case, can they both realise not everything they saw was real?

About RJ

RJ Scott lives in the Chiltern hills just outside London, England. She loves reading anything from thrillers to sci-fi to horror; however, her first real love will always be the world of romance. Her goal is to write stories with a heart of romance, a troubled road to reach happiness, and more than a hint of happily ever after.

She is published with Silver Publishing an-d Dreamspinner Press and was nominated in the Love Romance Cafe Awards of 2010 as Best GLBTQ Author, for Best Gay Paranormal / Horror (Oracle) and as Best Paranormal Author. Oracle was also nominated for Best Gay Paranormal / Horror 2010 in Elisa Rolle’s Rainbow Awards and was awarded an Honorable Mention (5th). RJ’s contemporary romance, The Christmas Throwaway, remained at number one on Amazon and at All Romance over Christmas and into the New Year. She cannot believe how lucky 2010 was for her and her foray into the world of MM writing.

RJ writes across all the genres, but if pushed she says she enjoys writing contemporary romance over the rest. Her newest release, Back Home, has already received favourable reviews on the Silver site and on Goodreads.

You can find out more about RJ and her books at her website, on Facebook, and via Twitter.

Many thanks to Edmond Manning for donating an ebook copy three ebook copies of his recently released novel, King Perry, for a lucky commenter to win!

In a trendy San Francisco art gallery, out-of-towner Vin Vanbly witnesses an act of compassion that compels him to make investment banker Perry Mangin a mysterious offer: in exchange for a weekend of complete submission, Vin will restore Perry’s “kingship” and transform him into the man he was always meant to be.

Despite intense reservations, Perry agrees, setting in motion a chain of events that will test the limits of his body, seduce his senses,  and fray his every nerve, (perhaps occasionally breaking the law) while Vin guides him toward his destiny as “the one true king.”

Even as Perry rediscovers old grief and new joys within himself, Vin and his shadowy motivations remain enigmas: who is this offbeat stranger guiding them from danger to hilarity to danger? To emerge triumphant, Perry must overcome the greatest challenge alone: embracing his devastating past. But can he succeed by Sunday’s sunrise deadline? How can he possibly evolve from an ordinary man into King Perry?

About Edmond

Edmond Manning has always been fascinated by fiction: how ordinary words could be sculpted into heartfelt emotions, how heartfelt emotions could leave an imprint inside you stronger than the real world. Mr. Manning never felt worthy to seek publication until recently, when he accidentally stumbled into his own writer’s voice that fit perfectly, like his favorite skull-print, fuzzy jammies. He finally realized that he didn’t have to write like Charles Dickens or Armistead Maupin, two author heroes, and that perhaps his own fiction was juuuuuuust right, because it was his true voice, so he looked around the scrappy word kingdom that he created for himself and shouted, “I’M HOME!” He is now a writer.

In addition to fiction, Edmond enjoys writing nonfiction on his blog. When not writing, he can be found either picking raspberries in the back yard or eating panang curry in an overstuffed chair upstairs, reading comic books.

Many thanks to Amber Kell for donating an ebook copy of her forthcoming m/m/m paranormal romance, More Than Pride (Supernatural Mates #6), or her forthcoming m/m/m romance, Switching Payne, for a lucky winner to choose between! Or, if you already own or have preordered these books, you can choose a future release!

Some lions need two mates to soothe the savage beast.

After watching the happiness his fellow pride mates found with their matches, Dillon longs for a mate of his own. Unfortunately the perfect mate doesn’t just fall from the sky…or does he? Trouble gets stirred up when bird and feline breeds mix together. Chester came to the pride house to infiltrate their tight-knit group. Will he endanger his life and that of his family in the name of love? And will Evin be able to leave the owl shifters in his crazy brother’s hands as the owls seek to take over pride territory?

Intrigue, betrayal and hot men finding true love – when lovers cast aside their personal problems, they find they have more than pride to keep them together.

More Than Pride will be released on May 28.

Payne’s horrible past has always been a barrier in his relationship with his lover Braxton. When they encounter Flame, a metal artist, they think they might have found a solution to their problems. However, the path to love is never smooth and three men prove harder to balance than two.

Flame doesn’t know if he’s ready to be part of a trio. Brax and Payne are madly in love and he would rather be alone than a third wheel. However, two determined men have decided to make Flame a part of their family and the combined power of men in love can’t be denied…even when death knocks at the door.

Switching Payne will be released on May 19.

Many thanks to Stephani Hecht for donating an ebook copy of her forthcoming paranormal m/m romance, Ervin’s Dilemma (Wayne County Wolves #1), or her forthcoming paranormal m/m romance written with Amber Kell, The Helpful Swan (The Cob Brothers #3), for a lucky commenter to win!

First there were the Lost Shifters; now there are the Wayne County Wolves.

Ever since his old pack had given up their criminal ways and joined the Wayne County Wolves, Ervin’s been depressed. Not only is his new pack completely goody two-shoes, it’s also sadly lacking gay members. So Ervin has little hope of ever finding his mate. But just when he least expects it, he finds shy yet sexy wolf shifter Miles. Unfortunately, Miles has vowed to never belong to a formal pack, which makes him a rogue; in the shifter world that makes him both dangerous and a target.

Although Miles tries to resist Ervin, he can’t help being drawn to the domineering man. When Mile’s siblings are captured, he knows he won’t be able to get them back on his own. Will Ervin help? And at what price?

Ervin’s Dilemma will be released by eXtasy Books on May 15.

When Prince Kedrik Cobb sees the sexy man in leather decorating the store window, he knows he has to see the man again. Unfortunately, his date for the night didn’t figure into his plans and he continues on his way. He can’t forget about the sexy stranger, so a few days later he finds himself returning to the store.

Cadell Shumaker has watched Kedrik for most of his life. After following the man from Aria to earth, he’d placed his store right in Kedrik’s path. Despite his positioning it takes a while before Kedrik notices him and falls into his arms. But when Kedrik finds out Cadell isn’t as innocent as he appears and a certain shape-changing spell takes effect, more than a little magic is needed before this couple can make their way to happily ever after.

The Helpful Swan will be released by Resplendence Publishing on May 9.
