From TAINT, by S.L. Jennings:

“Unless he’s completely desperate or under the influence, a man can’t -
and won’t - fuck what doesn’t get him hard.”
Less gasps this time, but every perfectly powdered face is beet red with
embarrassment, causing my mouth to slide into a sardonic smirk.
Truth be told, I love this shit. I love ruffling their meticulously groomed
feathers. Their obvious discomfort entertains me. Seeing the rosy hue of coyness
bleed through their blush is like a balm to my little, sadistic soul.
“And in that case,” I continue, “you don’t want him anyway. What you do
want is for him to be salivating at the soles of your Jimmy Choos. And let’s face it,
ladies… that’s not happening. Why do you think that is?”
Crickets. Fucking crickets.

Synopsis:
Born to a prestigious political family, Avery Adams plays as hard as he works. The gorgeous, charismatic
attorney is used to getting what he wants, even the frequent one-night stands that earn him his well-deserved
playboy reputation. When some of the most prominent men in politics suggest he run for senate, Avery decides the time has come to follow in his grandfather's footsteps. With a strategy in place and the campaign wheels rolling, Avery is ready to jump on the legislative fast track, full steam ahead. But no amount of planning prepares him for the handsome, uptight restaurateur who might derail his political future.

Easy isn't even in the top thousand words to describe Kane Dalton's life after his father, a devout southern
Baptist minister, kicks him out of the family home for questioning his sexual orientation. Despite all the rotten
tomatoes life throws his way, Kane makes something of himself. Between owning a thriving upscale Italian
restaurant in the heart of downtown Minneapolis and managing his long-term boyfriend, his plate is full. He
struggles to get past the teachings of his childhood to fully accept his sexuality and rid himself of the doubts
brought on by his religious upbringing. The last thing he needs is the yummy, sophisticated, blond-haired
distraction sitting at table thirty-four.



Author Bio:
Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy,
romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see
what's coming next! I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in
most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and
jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle. I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I
loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan
fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship.
There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world
where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.

Review of Always by Kindle Alexander
Always by Kindle Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

ARC kindly provided by in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free.  4.00 Stars. HEA.  No cliffhanger/standalone.

Always is a heartfelt love story that chronicles the lives of two men who meet and fall in insta-love in the 70’s. Avery is an up and coming politician and Kane is a sexy restaurant owner. During their 40 year relationship the couple navigates many of the highs and lows that most couples face while trying to balance a relationship, career and family.

Always starts out kind of steamy in the insta-love stage and then the young couples relationship moves in a more realistic cadence. There is no emotional roller coaster, love triangle or crazy drama in this book. This story is the kind of stuff dreams are made of….that kind of love you are lucky to experience at least once in a lifetime.     Please do yourself a favor and grab a box of tissues for the tear jerker ending.  Bravo Kindle Alexander and thanks for the Kindle Crack!  I love men who love men.

FYI – also check out Double Full by Kindle Alexander (this book happens to be one of my favorite smutastic m/m books ever…just sayin)!

BEHIND HIS EYES TRUTH is the second of CONSEQUENCES SERIES
three reading companions, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author Aleatha Romig. It is recommended to be read after completing all of the
CONSEQUENCES SERIES: Consequences, Truth, and Convicted. It is not a
standalone book and should not be read as such.

This reading companion explores the thoughts and motivations of Anthony
Rawlings and his struggle to accept the truth behind the consequences. It is
not intended as a total rewrite of TRUTH, but meant to enhance the reader’s
understanding. BEHIND HIS EYES TRUTH contains significant scenes from
the novel TRUTH, as experienced from Anthony’s point of view. It also contains
never before read, behind the scenes information, a glossary of the characters,
and a timeline which grows from Consequences to include the array of new
characters and revelations found in the pages of Truth.

BEHIND HIS EYES TRUTH is the continued journey inside the mind of the
man who supplied and survived the consequences. This companion allows
readers the opportunity to witness first hand as Anthony’s world changes forever.
His rules and control begin to slip away, threatened by the most unlikely foes—
something completely unfamiliar.
Can something as pure as love and forgiveness wreak havoc on his well-planned
existence?

BEHIND HIS EYES TRUTH, because there is more to learn about a man who:
Once upon a time, signed a napkin that he knew was a contract. As an
esteemed businessman, he forgot one very important rule—he forgot to
read the fine print. It wasn’t an acquisition to own another person as he’d
previously assumed. It was an agreement to acquire a soul.
Continue the long and painful acquisition, as the TRUTH becomes evident, from
Behind His Eyes!

Behind His Eyes - Truth by Aleatha Romig
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

FIVE STARS. I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. This book is meant to be a companion book to the series.  I highly suggest reading the series in its entirety prior to reading this book.

I think I need to go into therapy after reading this series.  Do I love, hate, or feel bad for Tony?  Oh Tony…. Ahhhhhh.  Aleatha Romig knocked it out of the park in this highly anticipated installment of the Consequences series.   There aren’t many authors that can pull off writing a companion novel/pov and not make it feel like a regurgitated version of the original book.  Romig AbsoEffinglutely nailed it. Despite knowing what was going to happen from reading this series…Tony’s perspective added a new layer to this already chilling story.  I love this series.  This is a no brainer…one click this book now.

Hello Hollywood…This series needs to be made into a mini-series/movie.

This review appears on www.kindlecrack.net, www.facebook.com/Kindlecrack, Goodreads, Amazon and Twitter.

Excerpt:
Glancing at the numerous pictures from his years of surveillance, Tony wondered if he and Claire
had come full circle. Would it be like this again? Would his only connection to her be through this new
investigator? Would he only see Claire in two dimensions? Tony searched for their contract, the beginning
of their personal journey together. He knew it wouldn’t be that easy again. If he were to get her back to Iowa and into his life, it wouldn’t be because of a signature on a napkin.
Then he shook his head. He didn’t want her back, did he? Hell, the lack of sleep was making him
sentimental. He stopped his search. The damn contract was no longer valid; it never had been—legally.
Pushing the box back into its hideaway, he contemplated throwing it all away. Having her back wasn’t his
goal; learning her location was. She had no right to disappear.
With the necklace in his hand, Tony settled upon the soft leather sofa in front of his fireplace. If Phillip
Roach were correct, in a few moments he’d hear the voice that used to fill his suite and his house. When her
voice came through his phone, Tony wanted to feel her presence. He imagined the sound as he looked up
at her wedding portrait and saw the emerald green that haunted his dreams. What did he want to hear? He
wanted to know she was safe and unharmed. He wanted to know where she was, and he also wanted to bring
her back to Iowa—because that was where she belonged.
It didn’t make sense. To the world she was the woman who tried to kill him. To Tony she was more
than that. The past twenty hours had proven it. She was his drug. Claire Nichols ran through his system like
ecstasy, sending him on otherwise unobtainable highs. He reasoned that lows followed highs, and she’d
given him those, too; they’d given them to each other. Nevertheless, without the right stimulant, the euphoria
could never again be achieved. Whether it was elation or misery, neither would be obtainable without the
exhilarating potency of Claire. He didn’t want an empty envelope. He wanted her. Nathaniel was wrong:
Claire wasn’t gone; she was just misplaced.
For the last twenty-four hours, his entire being had surged with anticipation. Claire may not understand
it—hell, Tony didn’t understand it, but he couldn’t deny it. Now that she was gone, he needed her back in his life, and he would have her.

Author Bio:
"I was a Russian spy at the ripe age of thirteen, given my uncanny ability to tell if someone was lying ( I also read fortunes on the weekends). By sixteen I had become too much of a handful for the Lethal Intelligence Ensemble (L.I.E.). I was quickly exiled to the south of France where I worked with wayward elephants in the Circus of Roaming Animals and People (C.R.A.P.). I was able to make ends meet by selling my organs on the black market for pocket change and beer money. At the age of twenty three I decided to expand my horizons and become a blackjack dealer in Ireland. I loved the family atmosphere at Barney's Underground Liquor Lounge (B.U.L.L.). People couldn't resist the allure of Liquor up front and poker in the rear. Eventually I became tired of the rear and headed off to the United States to try my hand at tall tales. That is what brings us here today. If you have a moment I'd like to tell you a story.

Pretty Little Things by Teresa Mummert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5-5 stars. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Spoiler-free. No cliffhanger! HEA.

In order to remain spoiler free… I will just top line my thoughts about PLT. Colin and Annie look like they have it all....pretty...perfect...wealthy...happy.  In reality...everything was taken from them and they are living a lie. The emotional ties that hold them together will either suffocate them or allow them to move on from their past.

“It wasn’t as easy for others to accept the darker side of themselves. Most like to cling to the notion that hesitation still marked the presence of morality. Deep down we were all just selfish animals. We liked to take… or be taken.”
― Teresa Mummert, Pretty Little Things

Pretty Little Things is skillfully written and captivated me from the first to the last page. This story is totally unique and a little on the dark and twisted side.  The plot unfolds at a perfect cadence unmasking the pain and anguish Colin and Annie had endured. They have to deal with unresolved feelings from their haunting pasts in order to have a future. Go one click this one…

Synopsis:
Mace Jordan was not the type of guy I expected to sweep me off my feet. I knew of the crowd he ran
with, and they were bad news. But beyond that tough, biker exterior was a sweetheart, and one that
treated me like his princess.
I liked being the good girl with the bad boy, but I never expected this. What I saw on his computer…I
thought I knew him.
But I was wrong. So wrong…

If there was ever a bad time for me to fall for a chick it was now, but from the moment I saw Leeta, she
had me. There was something special about her, and I had to have her. But I also had a job to do, and
I couldn’t let her distract me from that. I couldn’t let her discover that side of me either. But she’s not
stupid, and I know she’s getting close. God knows what she’ll do if she discovers the truth.
Or what she thinks is the truth.

Synopsis:
I love her, but I also love him.
She's everything to me.
He sets my world on fire.
It's our dirty little secret, and it’s about to blow our record deal sky high.
I’m Tommy Blade, the Prince of Punk Rock, and this is our story.
Tommy Blade is a man with a secret. It’s a secret he only shares with one person, Jessi
Blade – and the men he surrenders to in the bedroom. Jessi’s only condition to their
tumultuous sex life is that the men are one night stands. But when Angel Garcia enters
their life, it’s like a match to gasoline.

Mega-talented punk rock singer Angel Garcia, with his smoldering ebony eyes, tight
leather pants and unstoppable stage presence, is a man who is used to getting what he
wants. He has his eyes set on Tommy Blade as his new lead guitarist, and as his life
partner.

Jessi Blade, sympathetic to her husband's bisexual needs, loves him enough to share
him, but she never counted on Angel Garcia to test the threshold of her marriage. He
makes her life hell . . . and heaven. He’s her damnation and her salvation. She wants to
hate him. She wants to despise him. But his charm and raw sex appeal are impossible to
resist. Without warning, she finds herself falling in love with her husband's gay lover.
At the height of it all, their punk rock band catapults to stardom.
Their lives are marred by secrecy, deception and sacrifice. Feelings of betrayal, backlash
from the sensationalistic media and threats of blackmail send them down a hard road
filled with tough decisions.
They aren't your ordinary rock stars. They're radical rock stars. And they have a big
story to tell.

Character bios:

Tommy Blade: Guitar god. Rising star. Blond Adonis. A man with a secret. In control of
everything in his life. A hard rock guitar player with no intention of changing bands or the genre
of the music he loves to play – until he meets mega-talented punk rock singer Angel Garcia.
Once they meet, it’s like a match to gasoline. He struggles to find the balance between the
woman he loves and the man who sets his soul on fire. He leaves his hard rock roots behind, and
becomes The Prince of Punk Rock.

Jessi Blade: Rocker chick. Fashionista. Determined. Strong-willed. Clothing designer. Her
loyalty to Tommy is steadfast and she guards his secret. Dedicated to the band. She’s trying
to make a name for herself as a fashion designer, but she can’t tear herself away from the
limelight of the stage long enough to launch her rock and roll clothing line. Her day to day life
is what most people dream about. Fiercely loyal to Tommy, but falling hard for Angel Garcia.
She always knew Tommy needed man in his life, and she loves him enough to share him, but
she’s not going to take a back seat anyone.

Angel Garcia: Born superstar. Destined for fame. A showman. Sex personified. Perfectionist.
A hopeless romantic. He has a voice that can shatter glass and bring you to your knees. He
feeds off the energy of the crowd like a drug. A soux chef in his family’s restaurant by day, a
punk rock sensation by night. He’s a man who knows what he wants and goes after it – and he
wants Tommy Blade.

Review of The Prince of Punk
The Prince of Punk Rock by Jenna Galicki
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.50 - 4.00 stars

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

This book is plays out just like in the synopsis.  The Prince of Punk is one smoking hot rock and roll fantasy where the boy gets everything he ever wanted - a hot wife, a hot boyfriend and a hot band playing sold out venues. It’s not as easy living the life…especially when you share your bed with your wife and your gay lover.  Emotions run high as the trio attempts to balance their lives in the bedroom, their families’ scrutiny and navigating the paparazzi.
The Prince of Punk was my guilty pleasure book of the week. I read this book in one sitting… since I couldn’t look away…it was like a sexy train wreck. At times it was a little over the top/silly/wanted to smack the heroine.  I have to say I am looking forward to the next book in this series to see how this story plays out.

Excerpt:
The faces changed since the last time he was there, but the intention was still the same. It wasn’t
a place to socialize or partake in camaraderie or drop in for a drink on your way home. It was
meeting place for men interested in casual sex. The backroom served as a shanty for a quick
encounter. You could stop in, get your rocks off and be on your way in half an hour. It was a
smorgasbord of testosterone, a buffet of muscle and beefcake.
Men flocked around him as soon as he walked through the door. They always did. A guy once
told him that it was the mixture of his rugged jaw and strong upper body, offset by the innocence
of his big blue eyes that made him so attractive. The ladies always said it was his long blond hair
and the guitar.
