Sizzle Saturday #teaser #gayromance #MMromance @parr_books @evernightpub #gayerotiic #holidaystory “We are just about naked, babe.” Owain held his face in strong hands and kissed him softly.
Gorgeous Owain Lovage belongs to an ancient family of elven
beings. A glamor hides his elf beauty as he runs a reindeer farm and visitor
center in an English rural town. He’s yearning for a handsome, sexy man in his
life. Owain hardly uses his magic these days, but that’s about to change.
Rowan Carter reluctantly leaves California to stay with his
folks on vacation for the holiday season in the town where he fleetingly meets
Owain.
Captivated by Owain’s looks and masculinity, Rowan seeks him
out.
Melting hot kisses in the snow are only the start of what he
has in mind to do with this red hot guy.
A deep erotic passion ignites between the two handsome men
and sets in motion an ancient magic spell that will change both their lives
forever.

“Finn tells
me you live in California.”
Rowan gave a
small nod, but surprise made him ask, “Did he? I do, in LA. I don’t remember
saying so to him.”
The gorgeous
man beside him transferred his coffee cup to his other hand. “He saw the tags
on your suitcase—LAX, pretty hard not to know where that is.” He brought his
freed hand to Rowan’s jaw and kissed him.
Immediately,
a wave of complete pleasure made Rowan’s eyes close. Owain’s kisses were absolute
sex and magic. He drifted in the haze of sensation, and as Owain drew away, a
sigh of deep pleasure escaped him.
“What do you
do there?” His lover’s gentle voice caressed his ears.
Rowan
collected his scattered wits.
“In LA? I
take photographs, portraits of people, families. I’ve dreamed about making a
film, but the truth is I don’t know if I really
want to do it. Maybe I fell into it because I live in LA. I’m beginning to
think I should let it go and find a job that provides a creative outlet
instead, or maybe something earthy, like you and your reindeer farm.” He drank
some coffee and leaned away to place the cup on the coffee table.
Owain did
the same, placing his cup next to Rowan’s. “So the photography isn’t creative?”
“No, I have
to stick to the studio’s rules about poses and lighting.”
Owain pulled
Rowan into his arms. “What would you like to do?”

If you like elves, magic, and Yule traditions, if you want
to watch two men fall for each other despite their very different outlooks on
life, and if you’re looking for a cute read with lots of mystery, some drama,
and a very passionate romance, then you will probably like this novella. It may
be a slow burn, but it packs quite the emotional punch!
Snow, ancient spells, secret identities, and a romance are
the exciting ingredients for this charming wintertime story set in rural
England. The quirky characters pulled me in as much as the mystery that was
hinted at from the beginning, but unfolded only gradually as Rowan and Owain
got to know each other. Based on a tiny hint in the early part of the story I
suspected what might be going on, and watching the author develop the story was
very enjoyable.

5 starsfor Hidden Magic " The story had some unexpected twists and turns, plus the ending caught me by complete surprise. If you want to read something that is definitely NOT your average holiday story, then this gem more than fits the bill."

Behind the Title with #gayromance #holiday #bestseller Night Song #MMromance #teaser
Twenty-five year old Oliver Honeycutt has no idea how handsome he is. He’s
creative, brilliant at his job, and underused in the designer fashion store
where he works. Behind the scenes, Oliver takes special care with orders for
customer, rock star, Zane Highwood. When Zane is to be the main attraction in
the store’s Christmas party, fashion show, Oliver hopes Zane will notice him.
Multi-millionaire, twenty-five year old, Noah Somersby, made his first
million before he was twenty-one and now owns a number of casual-chic menswear
stores. He’s a designer, gorgeous, and desperate to find a man who will love
him for himself and not see dollar signs as they kiss.
Noah doesn’t often take the train into the city, but one rainy day he does,
as he settles into a seat opposite Oliver, the two men exchange interested
glances.
In fact, Noah is super attracted to Oliver and Oliver thinks Noah is gorgeous.
As the store holiday season party approaches, can serendipity bring them
together?
Read a teaser that features the title:
A
blast of dance music accompanied a flood of white light along a short catwalk,
previously hidden from Noah’s attention in shadows. Noah moved toward it,
wanting to see the promised fashion teaser. The first two models danced along
to the music in what Noah considered unremarkable powder-blue jeans ripped at
knee and thigh. They were bare-chested and carried their pointed toe, coral
leather boots instead of wearing them.
Noah
glanced away for a moment when two people wanted to pass him. When he looked
again, the music changed to a rock ballad, one he hadn’t heard before, and over
the opening bars the DJ announced Zane Highwood’s fantastic new release, “Night
Song.” The singer made an entrance along the catwalk. He wore low-low-rise
white jeans and a cherry-red leather jacket over his shirtless torso. Zane held
a man’s hand, and this guy carried Zane’s fancy-shaped guitar over his shoulder
in a parody of deference. He walked a step behind Zane, as if being led, and as
the blue beam of light from the swinging spots hit him, Noah gasped. “Oliver,”
he whispered.
Noah
stared. He’s a model. I should have
known. He’s red hot in that outfit. He heaved a sigh. The words of Zane’s
new song fit the occasion. He was the guy in the night gazing at the
one he loved and wishing they would glance his way. When Oliver did look at
him, a wave of sadness hit Noah. There wasn’t a glimmer of recognition in his
expression. I wonder if he’s with Zane …
if they’re an item. That’s a familiar
pairing, the rock star and the model.
The
cold from his drink seeped through the napkin. Noah felt the chill all the way
to his heart. He watched, mesmerized, as the two men turned and walked to the
other end of the runway. The new rock ballad continued as Oliver made another
appearance. He looked less at home than before, compounding Noah’s wild guess
that he and Zane were lovers and Oliver missed Zane beside him. Acutely
disappointed, Noah concentrated on seeing the cobalt-blue cashmere overcoat and
not Oliver’s handsome face.
As two other models made an entrance on the walkway, a voice from behind him caught Noah’s attention. Grateful for the diversion, Noah greeted the designer he’d met a couple of months ago at an event organized by the wool trade. He managed to converse normally, but all the time his heart ached with regret over Oliver’s apparent lack of single status.

4 sparkling stars from Long and Short reviews for Night Song, gay romance.I really enjoyed this slow-paced and romantic holiday romance. I loved the
buildup between Oliver and Noah – the fact they didn’t just eye each other off
in the train, fall instantly in lust and jump into bed. Oliver was shy and very
lonely and Noah might have been successful in his career but he wanted to be
liked for himself and not his bank balance. I was pleased that each man was
realistic, relatable and the author gave me enough time to get to know them
both independently to want them to come together and see how they could form a
relationship together.
I felt the conflict in the story was a little cliched but enough of the
surrounding sub-plot, who Oliver and Noah both really were and their deep and
genuine attraction to each other, managed to carry the story through this
roughness. Readers looking for a fresh or unique story-line won’t find that
here, but I was really pleased both Oliver and Noah’s characters were
interesting and relatable. The sex between the two men was equal parts tender
and hot, and I was really impressed that the author didn’t rush to have them
jump into bed or fall in insta-lust.
With a good pace, strong characters and a lovely Christmassy setting this
story had a lot going for it and overall I really enjoyed it.

Behind the Title with #gay #holiday #romance Make a Wish. Read a #teaser from the passage that gives the story its title. #MMromance #Christmas #magic @evernightpub @parr_books
It’s the day before
Christmas Eve and gorgeous, happy, Nick Kringle is making deliveries on the
main street of the city when a car breaks down at the intersection.
Amid the seasonal
crowds and inclement weather, Dylan West gets out of his car and tries to push
it to the side of the road.
Nick rushes to help
him and comes face to face with the most delicious man he’s ever seen.
Dylan’s down on his
luck, but Nick believes in magic.
Can wishes come true?
You bet—especially if Nick Kringle has anything to do with it.
Dylan
drank his coffee and wandered around his apartment. He tidied everything. He
took the card his mom had sent him and put it on his desk, a lonely sentinel of
the season standing by his laptop. His parents lived so far away that they
didn’t visit each other often and anyway, they generally took a vacation in
warmer climes for Christmas and New Year. He showered and dressed in jeans,
sweater, and his favorite old leather jacket. He looked around with a sigh. So much for Berry Brown letting me know
early today about my interview. Guess I’ll go check on my car.
He
left the apartment. The sun shone from a washed-out, blue sky. Frost glistened
on the ground. Dylan’s breath misted in the crisp air. He hailed a cab at the
end of the block. The kiosk served as a landmark for Dylan as he told the
driver where to drop him, but his car was gone.
He
recalled Nick’s words. ‘The city might tow it,’ and his own reply, ‘I wish they
would.’ Maybe it’s in the city compound.
Dylan shrugged. He went around the kiosk and looked along the magazines. Once
upon a time Dylan loved to draw. His high school teachers praised his work. He
visited all the galleries and hung out at exhibitions, drinking in the creative
atmosphere with enjoyment. His teachers expected him to and he had considered studying art, but settled
on business because it seemed more likely he’d find work with that bachelor
degree. It pleased his dad, whose finance career made sure the family lived
well. Dylan picked up a copy of Wallpaper
and then Art in America. He paid for
the magazines.
A
coffee shop beckoned as someone opened the door and the inviting aroma of rich
beans wafted onto the street. Dylan went in. He took a window seat and ordered
Italian roast when the smiling server came to his table. A huge Christmas tree filled
a corner of the café area and Dylan gazed at it for a few moments. The tinsel
and baubles made a pretty, sparkling sight lit with circles of white fairy
lights. He opened the copy of Wallpaper
and turned the pages perusing the articles, until, to his surprise, a silver, 3D,
page-size star popped up.
A
smile sprang onto his face. A star. Make
a wish, Dylan. It glittered at him. I
wish for Nick. I want us to be lovers, friends, for as long as possible. I wish
for him to fall in love with me. Is that more than one wish, yeah, but who
knows, maybe one will come true?
His
cell phone buzzed in his leather jacket pocket. Dylan fished it out. A message
alert flashed on the screen. Dylan swiped the screen to check the message. Berry Brown. Regret to inform you have been
unsuccessful this time. He stared at the message. It struck him as rude,
letting an interviewee know by text, but then again, he’d received similar
brush-offs.
The
server arrived with his order and a complimentary chocolate for the season.
Dylan smiled his thanks. The café’s warmth relaxed him. He took off his jacket
and sipped at his coffee as he looked through his magazines. With every page
turned, Dylan grew happier. He didn’t own any art materials now, but he wanted
some. He remembered that the mall a few streets away housed a great art supply
shop. Dylan experienced a surge of longing to go there and buy the things he’d
need to start drawing again. He unwrapped the chocolate and bit into it. The
lemon cream zinged on his taste buds. He drank the last mouthful of his coffee.
He picked up the star and secured it in the magazine. I don’t want to lose that. In a split second, everything was
brighter, lighter, and happier. He paid for his coffee and pulled on his
jacket.
