Rescuing cop Finn Ryan from a burning precinct was easy; it's keeping him alive Max Harrison finds difficult.
Firefighter, Max Harrison, is running from the city and finds peace in the sleepy Smoky Mountains town of Ellery. Finn Ryan is one of only three cops in Ellery, and someone is out to hurt him. Can Max find the arsonist, and keep Finn alive?
How can Daniel convince the man he loves, to stay with him in Ellery?
Luke Fitzgerald left Ellery Mountain for college and vowed never to return, but with his father murdered, he has no choice but to return. Luke only goes home to sell off his share of the Ellery Mountain Cabins, but everything changes when he meets the son of the other owner.
Daniel Skylar is an ex-soldier who lives every day to the limit and sees a future in Luke. It doesn't matter what Daniel says, or how much he needs Luke; Luke isn't staying once everything is sold off. Surely Daniel can understand that?
Jason McInnery, hounded by the paparazzi after his brother's death, runs to the one place where he hopes people will not sell him out. The place where he was born.
Hiding in the tourist cabins at Ellery Mountain Resort out of season he thinks he finally has room to breathe.
If only Kieran Dexter, a man ten years his junior, would stop fixing stuff and causing ripples in Jason's peaceful space.

New release from TS McKinney - Gasping For Air (Gameday Series - Book Two)
Title: Gasping for Air
Series: Game Day #2
Author: TS McKinney
Genre: M/M Romance
Release Date: April 20, 2017
T.S. McKinney lives in East Tennessee with her high school sweetheart/husband and all the countless dogs she picks up from deserted country roads. Her professional career has been in business but her heart has always belonged to the fantasy world found in books.
Creating wicked worlds where one can meet the perfect hero – and then do anything to him that you want – has been a hobby that has brought her plenty of hours of fun and naughty entertainment.
When not working, reading, or writing, she loves to spend time with my family and forcing them (because they don’t really have another choice) to allow me to redecorate their houses…and listen to my naughty…sometimes sadistic stories.
HOSTED BY:
Before I begin I have to say that I have absolutely no interest in the lifestyle of the main characters. That being said, I have no problems with others living the lifestyle as long as they're safe and respect the wishes of their partners and not force anything that the partner is not comfortable with.
I found the story to be interesting and well written, as well as the characters. I felt the emotions and apprehensions on the part of the characters were very realistic even though the plot, while very consistent was slightly unrealistic. To my thinking, a rich college boy falling for an average college boy and persuing a relationship is kind of a fairytale. I'm sure it does happen, however. This way of thinking does not in any way detract from my enjoyment of the story.
Being as it may, I think that a little more explanation as to who the characters of Alex and Lincoln are when they first appear in the story, while not really necessary would be helpful. You can read more about them in Touchdown (Gameday Series Book One) as they are the main characters in that book.
What did detract from my enjoyment was the atrocious editing. Paragraph spacing was inconsistent, words were strung together which made me stop and try to figure out what the words were, spaces in the middle of words, and the continual use of "I'm" where it should be "I am". For example, "that's who I'm" instead of "that's who I am."
As a published author myself I would be hard-pressed to give Gasping For Air a rating higher than a 3.5. Considering the excellent story content and the fact that I've never seen these editing issues in any of the TS McKinney novels I've read previously, I will give it a 5 out of 5. Regardless of whatever rating I gave it, I would still recommend it.

RJ Scott does it again.
We've all heard or read the stories about celebrities going into rehab for drugs or alcohol, or both. We never hear about what happens during their rehab.
Ms. Scott gives a pretty good look at what goes on through her brilliant writing and deep, very complex characters. Her portrayal of Jacob, spoiled, rich, self-centered actor is spot on as far as some real celebrities I will not name.
Ethan is your typical harried director of an educational center for low-income people, working tirelessly to provide quality services and trying to keep the facility afloat. The last thing he needs is to have to put up with Jacob and his crap.
There's definitely fireworks, and not the good kind, when the two first meet. Jacob makes you want to call him on his BS and kick him to the curb, and least I would. I wouldn't have the patience to deal with him. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
There's not much more I can say abut Moments without giving out spoilers, other than read it. You most definitely won't be disappointed.
5 out of 5 stars. Another must read novel from the amazing RJ Scott.

Cover: Tibbs Design
Blurb
A London Lads Story
A secret affair can’t go on forever.
Dylan Philips admits it himself: he’s a relentlessly single man in a small suburban town, both proud of and resigned to being a good teacher and a devoted nephew to his mischievous great-aunts.
When the aunts take a hand in matchmaking him with Josie Whitman, the girl who lives along the street, Dylan doesn’t tell them what kind of soul mate he’s really looking for—and the fact that he’s already found the man in question. It’s not Josie who’s travelling from London every month to her town property, but her journalist brother Neal. And Dylan meets up with Neal whenever he can.
But decisions must be made for their future. Dylan is risk-averse to everything from overseas travel to coming out, whereas Neal embraces adventure—and now he wants to take Dylan with him.
Horrified that his chance at love will move even further out of his reach, Dylan realises it’s time for him to own up to what kind of man he really is. He needs to find courage and compromise. And who knows whether the great-aunts will be a help or a hindrance with that?
First Edition published as A Good Neighbor by Amber Quill Press/Amber Allure, 2009.
Author Bio
Clare took the pen name London from the city where she lives, loves, and writes. A lone, brave female in a frenetic, testosterone-fuelled family home, she juggles her writing with the weekly wash, waiting for the far distant day when she can afford to give up her day job as an accountant. She’s written in many genres and across many settings, with novels and short stories published both online and in print. She says she likes variety in her writing while friends say she’s just fickle, but as long as both theories spawn good fiction, she’s happy. Most of her work features male/male romance and drama with a healthy serving of physical passion, as she enjoys both reading and writing about strong, sympathetic and sexy characters.
Clare currently has several novels sulking at that tricky chapter 3 stage and plenty of other projects in mind . . . she just has to find out where she left them in that frenetic, testosterone-fuelled family home.
All the details and free fiction are available at her website. Visit her today and say hello!
