This month’s books:
Ruby: Lost & Found – M.D. Grimm
On the hunt for a murderous sorcerer with a stone of power, the dark mage Morgorth gets more than he bargained for when Aishe tries to steal his heart.
Lord Morgorth is a dark mage on the planet Karishian. He’s considered a villain by his peers and relishes the title, having embraced the role earlier in his life. However, not all of his actions are necessarily villainous.
Despite owning several of the Stones of Power—gemstones infused with powerful magick—he doesn’t use them, preferring to keep them hidden away and out of destructive, power-hungry hands. He hates them more than anything. So when a sorcerer gets a hold of a major stone, Morgorth has no choice but to go after him. But, to his irritation, he is not alone. Aishe is a dialen whose tribe was massacred by the sorcerer, and is now on a mission of vengeance. The attraction is instant between them, but Morgorth keeps his distance. Because of a traumatic childhood and a deadly destiny, he has no desire for emotional complications. But Aishe’s very presence challenges Morgorth’s resolve.
Not only does Morgorth admire Aishe’s strength and intelligence, but he begins to see Aishe as a friend. As their hunt continues and their time together lengthens, their bond deepens, as does Morgorth’s fear. If he becomes the monster that destiny claims he will be, will he hurt Aishe? Will he harm the one person who sees right through him? Who accepts him wholeheartedly? Determined to not let that happen, Morgorth keeps Aishe at a distance. But when Aishe is kidnapped by the sorcerer, what will Morgorth do to get him back?
Tea and Antipathy – Meredith Spies
Not everyone could say their luck started improving the day they got hit by a car, but not everyone was me. Which was good because one me is all the town of Lester Cove can handle.
Ever since, murder’s been afoot and my new friend seems to be right in the thick of things. Mrs. Witte is a sweet older lady but she cannot keep herself from getting involved with the murder mystery, and her stepson Benjamin seems to think that’s somehow my fault.
Look, I’m just a washed up child star turned accidental pet sitter and sometimes plucky sidekick. I had nothing to do with the deaths that seem to be happening at an alarming rate, deaths Mrs. Witte wants me to help solve. Dealing with Ben’s antipathy is on my list, right below cleaning up after a dead woman’s dog.
Tea and Antipathy is a cozy mystery with an MM romance woven in! This is a lightly re-edited edition. The story has not substantially changed.
Vale – C.J. Dragon
Vale Darrow likes routine. He likes knowing what will happen on each of his days, and isn’t fond of surprises or upheaval of any kind.
He lives alone in a house he loves. He expects to always be alone because he isn’t an easy person to know. He never expects that to change, until it does.
After serving for many years the Companion to the Oracle dies. The Oracle reaches out, in his grief, touching on an unsuspecting Vale. With that touch, everything changes.
Vale swears he will not give in to the Oracle if chosen as Companion.
Will the Oracle force him to accept a life cut off from everything and everyone he loves? Or will Vale choose death rather than submit to the Oracle’s whims?
Love Between Peace & War – K-lee Klein
Philip and Dusty have been best friends since kindergarten, despite growing up in very different households. When they were younger, they never cared that Philip’s parents expected him to find a career in the Air Force, while Dusty’s free-spirited mother encouraged Dusty to follow his heart and forge his own path in life. Hiding their growing closeness from Philip’s family was the only shadow on their lives.
Now, the turbulence of the sixties is straining their relationship. Dusty wears his hair long, writing songs of peace and going with the flow. Philip is back in town after graduating from the Air Force Academy. And Philip’s parents are less and less tolerant of how close the two men are, pushing Philip to focus on his military career and settle down with a nice girl. Philip can’t even imagine telling them that he wants Dusty, but keeping secrets is causing stress between him and Dusty.
In a time of war-mongering and peace signs, can two more-than-best-friends find common ground to save their love?
