Monday Mentions: June 19, 2017
This Monday chase away the work week blues with one of Kimmers’ Erotic Book Banter’s Monday Mentions. Our selections this week are about self-discovery and accepting that you might just find love where you least expected to…and coming to terms with the fact that it may just require the ultimate sacrifice – to be you.
In Strong Enough, released today, writing partners Melanie Harlow and David Romanov bring you the story of two men brought together by circumstance who find fierce passion. Yet one tries to deny it is real. Even when it happens again. And again. Can they make it work or will one be forced to walk away from something he knows can be true? On Friday, June 23rd, Lane Hayes releases A Kind of Home with Dreamspinner Press. In this rock star story Isaac is forced to take a break when an overzealous fan makes things difficult. When he lets his newly single first crush, who is straight, become his roommate, things heat up and both men find themselves in dangerous territory. Will one be able to make the ultimate sacrifice?
We at the Banter would love to know if you have purchased any of our Monday Mentions and, if so, how well you liked them. Please feel free to comment below.
Make it a great week!
About Strong Enough
I wasn’t looking for Derek Wolfe. I wasn’t looking for anybody. All I wanted was to start a new life in America. But when I found myself stranded here with no place to go, he came to my rescue, offering me a place to stay. He’s smart, successful, and sexy as hell—I can barely sleep knowing he’s right down the hall. And when the chemistry between us explodes one night with fierce, fiery passion, it’s hard to deny there’s something real there. But he does. He says he was drunk. He says it was a one-time thing. He says he’s not into guys and what we did meant nothing. He’s lying. Because it happened again, and again, and again. And it’s better every time. I know we could be good together, and I want the chance to try, but I’m done hiding. If he’s not strong enough to admit the truth, I’ll have to be strong enough to walk away.
About A Kind of Home
Isaac Dalton is the guitarist for Spiral, arguably the biggest rock band in the world. The band’s meteoric rise to superstardom has its perks, but fame and fortune aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. Nonstop touring and performing exhaust Isaac, and when an overzealous fan makes it imperative that he travel with a clingy bodyguard, he is ready for a break from the madness. More so when his newly single first crush shows up on his doorstep. Adam is strictly off-limits. He’s a memory from a place Isaac would rather leave behind. And he’s straight.
Fun-loving former athlete slash construction worker Adam McBride desperately needs a new beginning. And New York City is the perfect place to start over and think about how to rebuild his life. A short stint as roommates with his brother’s best friend from high school seems like a mutually beneficial arrangement. However, when friendship gives way to fierce attraction, both men find themselves in uncharted and possibly dangerous territory. Isaac has to decide if he’s willing to take the ultimate risk for a kind of love and a kind of home he never dreamed possible.
