Dog-Eared Daydreams

Sink or Swim (Anchor Point #8) by L.A. Witt Release Date: July 16, 2018 Riptide Publishing
About Sink or Swim When need meets fear, can two very different men find common ground?
Alhazar Bukhari spent his Navy career in the closet. Now he’s retired, divorced, and hungry for the love he’s never had a chance to experience. He tries to put his faith in Allah to bring the right man into his life, but it’s hard to be patient after all this time.
Chaplain Dylan Pedersen spends his days counseling Sailors, and his nights with men he doesn’t know. Months after finally escaping an abusive relationship, he’s terrified of anything more than a physical connection. Maybe it’s a sin, but he’s too lonely to not let men into his bed, and too scared to let them into his heart.
When Alhazar’s civilian job brings him aboard the USS Fort Stevens, and his daily prayers bring him into Dylan’s chapel, the chemistry is instantaneous.  Sex and friendship quickly evolve into more, but Dylan’s too haunted by his rece…

Redemption is a re-release from S. Nelson and it's the story of a twenty-five-year-old Lila Stone in desperate need of a job after she's fired from her last one. Almost like kismet, a lifeline comes by way of an older woman who's about to retire as a housekeeper. Her new employer, however, doesn't seem all that thrilled about having her around. Mason Maxwell is surly and demanding, making it very clear to Lila that he has no intention of making her life easy while she's under his employ. But then Mason has his reasons for wishing the young woman away. She's a temptation he doesn't want, especially given the fact that he's got secrets that can never be exposed. The more Lila and Mason are around each other, the more the push and pull, until sooner rather than later, they both break.
This was a curious story in that it felt as if it were your run-of-the-mill tale of an imm…

If she wants me to be her personal love machine, let's face it, I'll jump at the chance.But we're just friends—always have been, and hopefully always will be. I know she's married to her job, and she knows I'm not interested in settling down. Neither of us wants to fuck up all the good things we've got going on, especially not our friendship.
Keaton Henley may be great at selling software, but it seems that she's got a thing or ten to learn when it comes to the art of seduction. After a failed attempt at cucumber fellatio during her best friend's bachelorette party, Keaton thinks that she needs a few lessons, especially if she hopes to have a far more stellar sex life than the current lackluster state it's in now. The best person to give her pointers could very well be one of her other closest friends: Slate Cruz. The guy never seems to have any problems keeping his bed warm and never la…

About Unscripted Love

Chaz Hamilton took a leap of faith when he decided to pursue a career in writing, but one best seller didn’t mean he could quit his day job.

Circumstances pushed the two men together, and one magical kiss beneath fireworks and stars changed everything. Kyle knew his luck had finally turned around and Chaz found a man far better than any book boyfriend ever written. There was just one problem. Chaz has kept a secret from K…

Whoa. This book was SO not what was expecting it to be. Drive Shaft was like me getting into the passenger seat of the car thinking I was headed towards one destination only to realize halfway through that I was on journey that had me double checking my seat belt was locked in and grabbing on to the assist handle. This felt like it had two distinct parts, and it wasn't until after I had read the book and was prepping the promo post that was going to go with the review that I saw the blurb again and saw that this originally was two separate but consecutive novellas, Drive Shaft and Drive Shaft: Between a Rock and a Hard Place, neither of which I read in their original incarnations. The whole two-part feeling aside, Geoffrey Knight wrote a story that had me on the edge of my seat, pun intended.

When twenty-year-old Jensen Rivers leaves Texas on his Ducati, all he has his meager belongings and one destination: Cly…
