Blurb

When the world labels a man and judges them blindly, is it possible to ever find love?


Firefighter Eric is on the front line, battling the threat of nature’s destruction in the California grasslands alongside his CalFire team. Focused and calm, even in the direst of situations, he has a strong affection for his fire truck, loves his career, and has best friends he can rely on. All he needs now is love, but that seems to be impossible to find. At his friend’s wedding. Eric falls in lust at first sight with the shy, slim and sexy Brady, even if Brady isn’t the type of guy he usually goes for. What Eric longs for is an equal in his bed, not a smaller guy who might want Eric to role-play big strong firefighter every time they have sex. He wants to find someone he can be vulnerable with, someone who will love him for his soft heart and quiet ways.

Brady’s life plans grind to a halt when his niece and nephew lose their parents in a tragic accident, and he becomes a dad overnight. His Developmental Coordination Disorder rules his life, but he fights both DCD and the fears that chase him every day, to give Maddie and Lucas a home. Agreeing to go to a friend’s wedding is a decision he regrets long before he even gets there. But, he refuses to give in to his fear, even if he might do something that makes him a target for people’s comments and laughter. Meeting Eric, a huge man with a gentle voice and a flair for chivalry, he falls hard. Now, if only he can let himself get past his panic that Eric would never want someone like him, then maybe he could fall in love for real.

Exclusive to Amazon and Available to Borrow with Kindle Unlimited

Length: 74,000 words approx.
Cover Design: Natasha Snow


Blurb

This isn’t the life Cole dreamt of, but what choice does he have?

With his twenty-third birthday behind him, Cole Moreton now faces the shifter compatibility test which will decide his future. Testing positive means joining a pack and eventually taking the bite. Unfortunately, with enviable skills in self-defence and hand-to-hand combat, the kind of packs interested in him aren’t any he’d want to join.

Logan has been a member of the McKillan pack for most of his life. Pack is family and loyalty is everything, but when the shifter government turns out to be no better than the oppressive humans before them, he questions everything.

Right from their first meeting, Logan knows that a life with the McKillan pack isn’t right for Cole, but with his alpha taking a keen interest in Cole’s skills, Logan’s hands are tied. Mutual attraction builds between them, but acting on it is futile—helping Cole will put their lives at risk and an end to any future they could’ve had.


Carra's Review

There are so many shifter books out there, so I truly appreciate when an author starts a new shifter series with some new, unique points that I haven’t encountered previously.  It keeps the genre fresh for me (though I can’t really picture myself tiring of it regardless), and lets me think about shifters in a previously unseen way.  Annabelle Jacobs has done that here for me in Escape, and in doing so now has me hooked for this new series.

The idea of shifters being a case of the oppressed becoming the oppressors, as well as the testing and pack affiliations that happen once people reach a certain age was something I found intriguing.  Though at first I was just a tiny bit unsure about the McMillan pack and Michael McMillan’s way of ruling, the lure of what is essentially a shifter underground railroad combating the system drew me in quite easily to this world.

The relationship between Logan and Cole is more of a secondary focus to the threat presented by humans being forced to join packs and be bitten to become shifters.  Though there are people who are definitely okay with that, there’s also those who are clearly NOT (like Cole), and that discord erupts spectacularly in this story.  There’s plenty of action, suspense, and drama as Logan and Cole try to navigate their way to a safer solution, and Escape turns out to be the spark to something even bigger.

I’m intrigued by the premise of this series, and Escape was a great was to draw me in.  I can’t wait to read more to see how Logan and Cole’s relationship will develop from here, since saying there are obstacles in their way might be a bit of an understatement.  Escape was a solid 4-star read for me, and if your a fan of M/M shifter romance/romantic suspense, you’ll definitely want to check this story out.  This book is meant for readers 18+ for adult language and some sexual content.

New Release & Giveaway: FIGHTER by TM Smith (Survivor Trilogy #3)


Fighter
Survivor trilogy book 3
by TM Smith



Synopsis

Dedication and smarts have given Blair Cummings a leg up in the Bureau. His job is all-consuming but rewarding. It doesn’t leave much time for a love life though, not that Blair believes in love. At nearly thirty, he’s only ever been in one long-term relationship due to his inability to commit to anything other than his job and his family.

Born into a family that is as successful as they are hateful, Howard Manning Tullor Junior ran so far away from his last name that he wound up in the arms of Satan himself. Freedom comes at a high price but it’s one Mannie is willing to pay, setting him on a path that leads him to a quiet, laid-back FBI agent.

Their attraction is unexpected, and yet, welcomed. Blair seems to have finally found something worth fighting for, but Mannie, still haunted by ghosts of the past, wonders if he’ll ever be able to move on. The two are working toward their future, but can a budding romance survive when past and present collide?

Blurb

Fifteen years ago, Prince Graham of Ardglass barely escaped from the ancestral castle with his young life. Rescued by a magical creature and spirited off to a faraway valley, he grew into a strong, capable man—never shirking his duties on the farm, but forever bitter over his father’s betrayal. But just when he has finally come to terms with being lost and staying lost, a visitor arrives in his valley and changes everything.

After a lifetime spent lost in his beloved books, Prince Emory awakens to find his villainous aunt working to usurp the throne of Fontaine. When she sends him on a dangerous quest, he’s certain the journey is a trap, but he’s not willing to accept defeat without a fight.

But a fight is something Rory is unprepared and untrained for, until he’s saved by a handsome, unassuming farmhand and his snooty, smug, and surprisingly talkative unicorn.
