Blurb: You never forget your first love, but is a second chance worth the gamble?

Anthony, Viscount Rawling, knows exactly what he wants in life and he isn’t above having a look about London for it. When he spots recently widowed Gabriel Tilden at a ton function, he thinks he might have found love…again.

Gabriel is as gorgeous and reserved as he was when he broke Anthony’s heart seven years ago. But they were only adolescents then…surely Anthony won’t hold the incident against him. And especially not when the attraction between them is stronger than ever.

Gabriel came to London in search of distraction, and a teasing Anthony is impossible to resist. As Anthony introduces Gabriel to the pleasures that can be found in the city—and in his bedchamber—their bond deepens into something more. Yet both men are hiding secrets that could pull them apart forever…

A Good Family Man by Thianna Durston Book Blast

AGFM 3

About A Good Family Man

A-Good-Family-Man-500Jack Carmichael’s natural instinct is to take care of people. In his job as a U.S. Marshal, he has done that for 25 years. Unfortunately, being married to his job has left his love life in tatters. Now classified unfit for duty, he retires and comes home to Colorado to figure things out. Dominant and used to taking control like his brother Brent, he has never been interested in spanking. Until a cute Nurse Practitioner catches his attention.

Josh Martin feels lucky. He’s not only accepted into Corbin’s Bend, but he’ll be working at the brand new Corbin’s Bend Medical Clinic as its only Nurse Practitioner. At thirty-two, he figures this is his last-ditch attempt at finding a dominant partner who isn’t abusive. He finds more than his share of dominant men in Corbin’s Bend, not the least of which are the Carmichael brothers. Brent’s dominance is both comforting and unnerving, Jack’s turns him on.

Josh is unlike any submissive male Jack has encountered and when the younger man asks him out, he decides to give it a go. One day of fun turns into two, three…until Jack, with more failed relationships than he can count in his past and unsure he can be the head of house Josh needs, leaves, burying himself once again in work. Forced to see the error of his decision, he puts aside the worries that have plagued him for months and returns to Corbin’s Bend. To become the good family man he wants to be, he has to earn back Josh’s trust and truly take on a role he’s never considered before: head of a loving discipline household.

Honorary Blogger Victoria Sue: A Snippet Into Blaze + Giveaway!

A Snippet Into Blaze

by Victoria Sue

Blaze didn’t ask to be a werewolf. If he was going to ask to be anything it would be a god. Something useful. Werewolves still had to hunt, and it was impossible to catch fish. His claws were too sharp. And what? What if he got fleas? Blaze shuddered. Old Jacob had a mangy dog that snarled every time you walked past, and it was always scratching. It smelled. He bet it had hundreds of fleas. And werewolves were like dogs. Okay, well, really scary dogs, but still dogs.

Oh…What if he’d shifted and he suddenly needed to pee. Blaze gulped, or worse. What did werewolves do? Because they sure as hell didn’t stand next to their best friend and have contests about how far they could piss for, or who’s…mmm, well, no. He didn’t think werewolves did that either.

And they’d have to eat gross stuff. I mean, Blaze ate rabbit and he’d been shown how to skin it, but then Conner’s mom would cook it, and they certainly didn’t have to eat the nasty bits. He bet Jacob’s dog had those. Eww…

There was only one benefit that he could see. He didn’t think his mom and Annie’s father would still want him to mate her. I mean – they couldn’t kiss. His fangs would probably drop and he’d cut her. Then she’d go all girly on him and start crying. Blaze brightened. Conner wouldn’t cry. Maybe everyone would think it was suddenly a good idea to kiss a boy because boys were tougher.

Maybe this whole turning into a werewolf thing wasn’t that bad after all.

About Broken Circle

25923407Blaze, the most powerful werewolf on the planet has found his omega, Aden. Together with Conner and Darric they finally become true mates, fulfilling an ancient prophecy by the goddess Sirius and forming Orion’s Circle. The battle against the terrorist group, the Winter Circle, has begun.

Blaze, however, is fighting his own battle. Aden is due to birth a child, and despite Blaze’s six hundred years of being an Alpha, nothing has prepared him for his hardest challenge yet — how to become a father. His struggles are hurting the people he loves the most and threatening their bond.

The madman who kidnapped and tortured Aden still hasn’t been caught, and when the worst happens and their circle is broken, Blaze has to fight his biggest threat yet – his own inner weakness – an enemy against which his Alpha strength will be useless. Blaze has to learn that true strength is only found in forgiveness, and sometimes the most powerful weapon is love.

She’s still in love with them. Any size, any shape, any creature – love is love, no matter what it says on the box.
In fact if they don’t fit very neatly into any box she loves them even more!
She has a very patient husband and three wonderful children. In 2010 in search of adventure they all moved from the UK to the US and are happily settled in Florida. Finally, after reading love stories for so long, she decided to write her own.
