THE LOVELY BEAST
by J.S. Cook

Jacob van Willingen arrives in a remote Romanian village aiming for a short visit. A member of the highly secretive Society for Psychical Research, Jacob has been charged with exterminating Caleb Donnithorn–but the society’s intelligence about the reclusive nobleman is less than complete. As he studies his target, Van Willingen is drawn to Donnithorn, enthralled with the nobleman’s alluring brides, three of society’s most luminous geniuses gathered from the corners of Europe to create a fantastical machine: a resurrection engine that can capture a human soul at the moment of death.

Caleb Donnithorn represents everything that is evil in the world, but there is more to him than is initially apparent. What he knows about van Willingen is a truth so shocking it will shake the young scholar’s world to its very foundations. Cast out from his friends and his beloved Society of Psychical Research, Jacob van Willingen will jettison everything he holds dear to remain with one whose love commands the highest price of all.

VENETIAN MASKS
by Kim Fielding

Jeff Dawkins’s last partner left him with a mortgage he can’t afford and nonrefundable tickets for a month’s vacation in Europe. Despite a reluctance to travel, Jeff decides to go on the trip anyway. After all, he’s already paid for it. He packs a Kindle loaded with gay romance novels and arrives in Venice full of trepidation. There he meets the handsome and charming expat Cleve Prieto, who offers to serve as his tour guide. Jeff has serious misgivings—he wasn’t born yesterday, and something about Cleve doesn’t sit right—but anything is better than wandering the canals alone. With Cleve’s help, Jeff falls in love with Venice and begins to reconcile with his past. For the first time, Jeff finds himself developing strong feelings for someone else. But he can’t be sure who that person is because Cleve’s background remains a mystery embroidered with lies.

Then a dark figure from Cleve’s past appears, and Jeff must choose whether to let Cleve flee alone or to join him on a desperate run through central Europe. Maybe Jeff will finally be able to see behind Cleve’s masks—if he survives the journey.

The Sense8 Season 3 Renewal Petition Continues! It’s Incredible!

The Sense8 Season 3 renewal petition continues! It truly is amazing. We are now at over a half million signatures! And we have to keep going. The petition keeps getting updated as the amount of signatures they are requesting grows. It’s incredible!

Sense8 is very important! It has been celebrated for its message of global interconnectedness, racially inclusive cast, and multiple LGBTQ characters—including a prominent transgender character whose storyline does not merely revolve around their being trans. And they actually have a real trans actress rather than a cis man or cis woman in makeup.

Please do your part, if for no other reason than what has been said above—to save this very significant show and allow it to spread its important message! Minds are being changed in the real world because of this show.

Netflix should at least give us a movie to wrap up the significant cliffhanger ending to this show!

Save Sense8!!

JUST LIKE CATS AND DOGS
by BA Tortuga

2nd Edition ~~ A Sanctuary Novel

Can cats and dogs ever get along, let alone fall in love?

Sam knows you can never go home again. As an orphaned feline shifter raised by wolves, being an outcast is nothing new to him. But the pack is still his family, and when one of them passes away, Sam returns to the New Mexico desert to say good-bye.

Gus is a loner who rarely returns to his pack, but as fate would have it, Sam is there when he chooses to visit. The history between Gus and Sam is tumultuous, to say the least, but when Gus gets an eyeful of the grown-up and gorgeous version of his childhood bully, he can’t control his reaction. And he isn’t alone.

The attraction is powerful, but so are their differences. And with trouble brewing in the pack and danger surrounding them, Sam and Gus might not have the opportunity to seek common ground.

This action-packed shifter novel is the ultimate opposites attract and enemies-to-lovers romance, and it includes a bonus novella, “In the Dog House.”

WILD RETALIATION
by Ethan Stone

A Seaside Shifters Tale

Chief of Police John Dakota is in a world of trouble. His peaceful town of Seaside, Oregon, has been rocked by a wave of unsolved murders. The bloody deaths are eerily reminiscent of ones that occurred in Seaside years ago. Back then John worked hard to make sure the truth about the killer was never revealed. Now he’s afraid the past is coming back to haunt him.

Trevor English, the nosy reporter who occasionally shares John’s bed, is demanding information about the crimes. He also wants more of John’s affections. But John can’t afford to give in to either demand without risking the revelation of Seaside’s biggest secret: the town is a haven for shifters, and John is one of them.

To solve the crime—and prevent more victims—John must delve into the past. Many members of Seaside’s shifter community are involved, but it’s becoming harder and harder to tell which residents can be trusted. Even John’s family isn’t above suspicion. The body count is rising, and it looks like John is the killer’s next target.

BEST IN SHOW
by Kelly Jensen

Solitary mystery writer Julian Wilkes doesn’t want a pet, but his sister persuades him to visit Lingwood Animal Rescue, where he is immediately taken with a large ginger tabby cat. Before he can settle into the joys of cat ownership, however, he discovers something very unusual about his new companion.

Macavity Birch is cursed. By day he is a large tabby cat. At night he can be himself—a human male with ginger hair and oddly yellow eyes. He didn’t mean to end up in the animal rescue, but he never meant any harm when playing the prank that resulted in his curse, either. Happily, Julian adopts him. But while exploring his host’s home, he discovers the diary of a long-dead relative.

Unfortunately, not all of Mac’s ancestors are dead and buried. His great-great-great-grandmother is very much alive, and she’s a powerful witch who doesn’t take kindly to the sharing of family secrets. When Mac reveals himself to Julian in order to save him from bigger trouble, he achieves just the opposite, plunging Julian deeper into a magical mystery with him.

HANGING THE STARS

Half Moon Bay: Book Two

Angel Daniels grew up hard, one step ahead of the law and always looking over his shoulder. A grifter’s son, he’d learned every con and trick in the book but ached for a normal life. Once out on his own, Angel returns to Half Moon Bay where he once found… and then lost… love.

Now, Angel’s life is a frantic mess of schedules and chaos. Between running his bakery and raising his troubled eleven-year-old half brother, Roman, Angel has a hectic but happy life. Then West Harris returns to Half Moon Bay and threatens to break Angel all over again by taking away the only home he and Rome ever had.

When they were young, Angel taught West how to love and laugh, but when Angel moved on, West locked his heart up and threw away the key. Older and hardened, West returns to Half Moon Bay and finds himself face-to-face with the man he’d lost. Now West is torn between killing Angel or holding him tight.

But rekindling their passionate relationship is jeopardized as someone wants one or both of them dead, and as the terrifying danger mounts, neither man knows if the menace will bring them together or forever tear them apart.

MURDER AND MAYHEM

Dead women tell no tales.

Former cat burglar Rook Stevens stole many a priceless thing in the past, but he’s never been accused of taking a life—until now. It was one thing to find a former associate inside Potter’s Field, his pop culture memorabilia shop, but quite another to stumble across her dead body.

Detective Dante Montoya thought he’d never see Rook Stevens again—not after his former partner falsified evidence to entrap the jewelry thief and Stevens walked off scot-free. So when he tackled a fleeing murder suspect, Dante was shocked to discover the blood-covered man was none other than the thief he’d fought to put in prison and who still makes his blood sing.

Rook is determined to shake loose the murder charge against him, even if it means putting distance between him and the rugged Cuban-Mexican detective who brought him down. If one dead con artist wasn’t bad enough, others soon follow, and as the bodies pile up around Rook’s feet, he’s forced to reach out to the last man he’d expect to believe in his innocence—and the only man who’s ever gotten under Rook’s skin.

ABSINTHE OF MALICE

Sequel to Sloe Ride
Sinners Series: Book Five

We’re getting the band back together.

Those six words send a chill down Miki St. John’s spine, especially when they’re spoken with a nearly religious fervor by his brother-in-all-but-blood, Damien Mitchell. However, those words were nothing compared to what Damien says next.

And we’re going on tour.

When Crossroads Gin hits the road, Damien hopes it will draw them closer together. There’s something magical about being on tour, especially when traveling in a van with no roadies, managers, or lovers to act as a buffer. The band is already close, but Damien knows they can be more—brothers of sorts, bound not only by familial ties but by their intense love for music.

As they travel from gig to gig, the band is haunted by past mistakes and personal demons, but they forge on. For Miki, Damie, Forest, and Rafe, the stage is where they all truly come alive, and the music they play is as important to them as the air they breathe.

But those demons and troubles won’t leave them alone, and with every mile under their belts, the band faces its greatest challenge—overcoming their deepest flaws and not killing one another along the way.

“Tar Dog” Gets Loving Support After Brutal Experience
BY JOHN FALKENBERG
ON JUNE 10, 2017 AT 3:23PM

There really is no telling how one Argentinine dog found himself completely covered, head to toe, in tar. But the story of what happened afterward is worth telling again and again.

Tar is one of the stickiest substances out there — but that didn’t stop a determined group of do-gooders from cleaning that dog up and saving his little life.

The animal news-oriented website The Dodo reports that a pair of young men who found the dog wandering the streets of Lanus, Argentina, decided to do what they could to help.

The pair recognized that the damage done to the dog was far outside their abilities to relieve, and they reached out to a police officer to assist. They then got the animal to a local veterinary center, and animal rescue group Zoonosis Lanus volunteers were called in to lend a hand.

It was a daunting task — they cleaned the dog for five hours continuously. It’s a lot of work for an animal no one knew, but there was no question that this animal’s life hung in the balance.

They freed the dog from the tar that nearly took his life, although he managed to pick up a permanent memento of the incident — his name, Petro.

That’s very likely an abbreviation of the Spanish word “petrolero,” or “oil” in English.

His brown fur is able to seen now, although, The Dodo wrote mid-May, but it may take some recovery time before he can be adopted out.

Until then, here’s hoping little Petro has a speedy recovery, but it sounds like he’s already landed a pretty good life as it is — he’s got a whole country pulling for him. As The Dodo wrote: “The story of Petro’s rescue has since gone viral in Argentina with countless well-wishers lavishing praise upon those who helped him.”

Look at what two men on a street were able to do because they stood up and did something when they saw wrong.

See? I do read the news. I’m just picky which stories I open!

FURRY FRIDAY: Beards & Tattoos

So in honor of the new tattoo I got yesterday, today’s handsome bearded men also have tattoos. I dearly love a man with ink! So…manly to me. Funny, almost every characteristic I love about men because I think they are masculine attributes (in my mind), tattoos are the one thing that wouldn’t fit in my explanation of why I like what I do.

Hardwired into my sexuality as far back as I can imagine, those things I consider masculine and HAWT are characteristics that (in the United States at least) a man has that a woman doesn’t. So I have always preferred (there are exceptions) chest hair over a smooth chest. Women don’t have hairy chests, therefore somewhere in my lizard brain, I see hair chests as masculine and smooth ones as feminine. I far prefer hairy legs over smooth ones (on a man). The hairier the better. I like hairy armpits. And of course a beard. I shudder over men’s genitals. It speaks of a little boy in my limbic cortex—big time! And I’m sorry, I don’t think it makes a man’s dick look bigger if he trims down there. In fact, manscaping of any kind sort of grosses me out. And it is always so darned obvious on the chest because the hair is all exactly the same length. I like what I think of as “natural” man, the way he comes. Yes, that means I like something else down there too.

So why do I like tattoos so much? Part of it I’m sure is the art. I love art. Part might be that my dad had tats all down his arms. Part of it is that I know the pain he endured to get those tattoos, and that is certainly a masculine thing in my rudimentary brain. And no I don’t want to hear one word about, “How if men had to give birth mankind would have gone extinct a long long time ago!

Remember what turns us on is subjective. And I like what I like. And the second I saw that man who one day would be my husband my attention was grabbed as with bear claws. My husband has a beard.

So I hope you enjoy these bearded & tattooed men. And I brought back the vote feature. Because you guys seem to like it so much!

Peace!
