Monday Mentions: Feb. 22, 2016
Welcome to another week of Kimmers' Monday Mentions!
This week I bring you two totally different tales of men seeking lost love.
The first, Featherweight Heart, finds a man seeking to sooth unresolved issues over an ill-fated lover and ends up with him uncovering more than he bargained for.
The second, Finding North, has two men confronting youth fueled secrets and lies to gain a foothold on a dying flame.
BLURB:
Clairvoyant Jake Parker is about to close up for the night when a handsome stranger wanders into his shop, the Witching Well. During his reading, Jake is surprised when a persistent spirit comes through, desperate to communicate. Before Jake can make a real connection between the two, his mysterious customer takes off. The spirit, however, decides to stick around. Eric Austin is a Boston-area author with a new best seller. But a year ago, he ended his relationship with a closeted man, who died shortly after. Still troubled by unresolved issues, Eric searches for answers. What he finds instead is the Witching Well and Jake—and a little more than he bargained for. When Jake and Eric meet again by chance, they begin to work together to unravel the mystery of Eric’s ghost, and Jake struggles with his professional duties and his undeniable attraction to Eric. But even if they can find a way to balance the personal with the professional, a specter from the past just might ruin their chance at a future together.
BLURB: Red Maine’s blue-collared bad boy, North Underwood, has a dirty little secret—Will Tanner.Friends since kindergarten, North had been the one to jump first, and his fall into Will’s bed ten years ago had been no exception. Will and North had been inseparable, but things change, people grow apart, and even a blazing flame can dwindle to a dying ember over time.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
After a run in with a bottle of Bundy rum, Will and North find themselves in a compromising and all too familiar position.
Blurred lines, bad decisions, and one wrong foot after another lead these two down a spiral of sarcasm, secrets, and sex, but when North’s hetero status is called into question he can’t figure up from down. And despite Will telling himself he wouldn’t fall again, he’s head over heels and wandering without a compass.
Love is love.
Love is truth.
Love … shouldn’t be this damn hard to figure out.
