The Corps Security Men By Harper Sloan

18241159
Synopsis:

Note from the author--This book is intended for a mature reading audience and isn't suitable for younger readers. Brash language, sexual hotness, delectable alpha males, some violence and adult situations are all over this book--you have been warned. 

Fate hasn’t always been friends with Isabelle West. In fact, fate has been a downright bitch.

Isabelle has learned the hard way how hard life can be when fate isn’t by your side. It can hand you dreams on silver platters, but it can snatch them right back and hand you nightmares. One thing Isabelle knew for sure fate was consistent with was taking away everything she ever loved.

For the last two years Isabelle has been slowly clearing the clouds of her past. Happiness is finally on the horizon. She has a thriving business, great friends, and her life back. All she has to do is jump over the last hurdle…her ex-husband.

When problems start causing her to fear her new life, and memories that are better left forgotten start rushing to the surface the last thing she needs is a ghost from her past to come knocking on her door. 

Axel never thought he would look into the eyes of Isabelle West again, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to now. He’s carried his anger for so long he isn’t sure he can just turn it off, but when he is faced with protecting her and an unexpected desire to have her again, life gets a little more complicated.

How will Axel and Isabelle deal when all their cards are put on the table and everything they thought was true blows up in their faces?

My Review

5 of 5 Axel & Izzy

Good Lord this is the first book in The Corps Security and let me tell you Harper Sloan is one hell of a talented writer. She has this way with her writing that draws you in and keeps you wanting more and more. I have to say having read this in July and finally catching up with my reviews there is so much that sticks out about this story that I promise you this is one series you have got to pick up and dedicate a day to read all three books that are out.

Izzy found the love of her life in Axel. They were together in high school and when they graduated Izzy went to college and Axel enlisted in the army. They promised to be together forever and when Axel came back from boot camp he and Izzy would set up house and live HEA. But life has a way of effing things up and Izzy and Axel lost contact with each other. But one thing they had going for them was that Izzy and Axel NEVER EVER FORGOT ABOUT ONE ANOTHER!

Years later Izzy is married to the biggest asshole alive and she is tired of his crap and she decides she is going to divorce him and move on. But Her husband is not having any of that and he attacks Izzy and makes her life miserable but thank God she has her best friends Cage and Dee by her side. Cage decides he will get his best friend and former team leader Reid to help him keep Izzy safe. He loves her and will lay down his life for her. Only when Izzy meets Reid they both get the surprise of a life time.

See Reid is Axel and Izzy and he have so much to talk about but Izzy hates Axel for leaving and Axel hates Izzy for leaving and when the two of them finally get together to talk the realize that someone wanted them to stay apart and they were willing to do whatever it took to keep them apart. But Axel is determined to protect Izzy and make her his finally but he knows he must keep her safe from her soon to be ex-husband.

What happens when the shit hits the fan and someone gets hurt? Can Axel keep Izzy safe and make her his? Or will Izzy say no and walk away from the love of her life? I have to tell you this is such a gut wrenching story that I cried and i laughed and then I swooned over Axel because he is one hot ass Alpha male!

Synopsis:

**Warning** This book is intended for a mature reading**

Greg Cage was born to protect. While growing up, he was his mother and sister's shield against the world... until he failed. For the last decade, he has carried that guilt and need for vengeance around... until it was stripped from him.

Now, with his best friend getting married and no longer needing his protection, he is even more lost, completely adrift, and desperate for some control. All he has ever known was how to protect: his family, his friends, and his country. Can he go against everything he has ever known, and give up that control? 

Melissa Larson will never let anyone hold the reins in her life. She has been the rock in her family for more years than she can remember, and the fight to keep them together is her main priority right now. She has always been fiercely independent and proud. The last thing she will ever do is ask for someone else's help. But when that choice is out of her control, forcing her to rely on others to save her and her family, and pick up the pieces that are left, will she be able to let someone else be her strength?

The second Greg locks eyes with Meli, he knows that she is someone he needs. Someone he craves. Meli knew the second she met Greg that he would be nothing but trouble and heartache. Her life takes an unexpected turn, and that bitch Fate is back to wreak more havoc on another member of the Corps family.

All hell breaks loose, leaving Greg no choice but to call in a favor. He hooks back up with his old friend Braxxon Breaker from the Breakneck MC. Together, they make sure that nothing threatens anyone Greg loves again.

My Review

5 of 5 Cage & Meli

Cage....... Cage....... Cage....... Greg Cage you totally rocked my world! Lord where to start with this review???????????? I mean my head was whirling the entire time I was reading because I just knew I just knew things were going to be tough for Greg and when he met his match like Izzy got reacquainted with Axel he would fall hard but never in my wildest dreams did I picture Greg falling hard like he did and falling for a girl like Melissa. I loved that girl because she is so like me. She is loyal and dedicated to family and will let no one or nothing stand in the way of them being happy. Plus she is an ALPHA female and I loved that about her because let's face it Greg needed an alpha chick to be with because someone mousy just wasn't going to be able to hang.

Greg is happy for Izzy and Axel getting married but he feels this hole in his heart where Izzy has been all this time. Yes they still hang together but it is not the same because Izzy has Axel. So my man Greg has his chick on the side Mandy to pass time with but she is not his girl she is just his toy something to play with for the time being and when your done with the toy you get rid of it but that is easier said then done.

But Greg being the awesome big brother and best friend to Izzy takes Izzy's son to the doctor and that is where he meets Melissa. Melissa is a nurse and she is beautiful. Meli does something to Greg that he has not felt in a long time and it scares the crap out of him. Greg buried his heart the day his sister was buried. See he took care of his family and when his sister died he wanted nothing more than to kill the SOB who hurt his sister. So he lived his life with horse blinders on and decided he would seek revenge. But when he sees Meli all that goes out the door and he wants her.

As he is getting to know her and they try and have a relationship things happen that will have these two fighting for what they want. See Mandy will not let go of Greg so easily because she is determined to be his woman but Greg wants Meli and is willing to do whatever it takes to have her by his side. Oh and let's not forget Meli has her issues and problems to and when shit hits the fan Greg will call in a favor to his boys at Corps and his other best friend Braxxon Breaker.

Lord Greg and Meli have a roller coaster of a ride to go through but at the end of the day when the dust has settled and the shit storm they have to endure is all over will Meli and Greg be left standing or will they be no more...........................

Synopsis:

DEE

I’ve always been good at wearing masks. Not letting anyone see the real me. I’m content being the happy-go-lucky best friend. The strong willed boss. The independent woman who doesn’t need a man. 

But the truth is I’m just as broken as the rest of you. I’m terrified that all it will take is one person to make all my carefully constructed walls crumble into fine dust. So I guard my heart with everything I have. Determined to never let anyone get close enough to hurt me again.

All is perfect until HE walks into my life. No… he doesn’t just walk. He struts his good-looking, sex-oozing self right into my space and demands that I see HIM. Making me want what I know I can’t have.

So I did the only thing I know how to do.
I run.
But he just won’t let me go.

BECK

The second I see her, I know she will be mine. I see past the gorgeous smiles and heart-stopping laughter. I see HER. She doesn’t want me to know her secrets or the past that haunts her, but I make it my mission to find out.

To make her mine.

She can run all she wants, but it will never be far enough to stop me from coming after her. 

She’s it for me and she knows it.

She’s just too scared to admit it.

My Review

5 of 5 Beck & Dee

First I have to say Harper Sloan you are EFFING BRILLIANT! I mean with every book I fall more and more in love with those ALPHA men! I have to say when I first read Axle I was like holy eff this series is going to be intense. Let's face it Harper loves to pull us in and leave us at the precipice and then BAM there it is in your face and the problems and all the crap they have endured is well worth it because you get this hot ass alpha male who will do anything for the love of his life and his family. 

With Beck and Dee there is so much to this story that the more I read the more invested I was in this story and the more I needed of Beck and Dee. Yes Dee has her issues and a lot of people are going to get aggravated with her but this is her story and her shit storm that he has to deal with and yes if there is blow back then there is blow back. No one goes through what Dee has and escapes intact because life hands you shit and you learn to survive and that is what Beck saw deep down inside about Dee when he saw her with Izzy. Beck knew Dee was going to be a constant in his life.

Did Beck ever expect to have to fight hard for Dee yes because a good women never gives up the goods so easily and what Beck knew of Dee he knew she did not do relationships but he also knew Dee was his forever and so he fought hard and long for her and at the end of the day Beck went home with a smile and the promise that Dee would be there in his life tomorrow. Beck is so strong and loving that I swear I need Harper to tell me the secret to Beck and the formula to crate a real life Beck because hot dam I need me a Beck in my life!

Did Beck and Dee struggle in there relationship..... HELL YES but this is where the hearty of the story comes in because you fight hard enough through all the bullshit and the end result is amazing just simply amazing! Did they suffer through things and have to deal with a shit storm HELL YES but when you read the story and see the strength of Beck and Dee and the love that Beck has for her you are going to need a box of tissues because HOLY EFFING HELL I cried like a baby because Harper crafted and created such a story that has pulled me right from Axle to Cage to Beck and lord have mercy I need more of those gorgeous fun loving alphas in my life!

Harper lives in small town Georgia just a short drive from her hometown of Peachtree City. She (and her 3 daughters) enjoy ruling the house they dubbed 'Estrogen Ocean', much to her husbands chagrin. Harper has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books; you can almost ALWAYS find her with her eReader attached. She enjoys bad reality TV and cheesy romantic flicks. Her favorite kind of hero--the super alpha kind!

Harper started using writing as a way to unwind when the house went to sleep at night; and with a house full of crazy it was the perfect way to just relax. It didn't take long before a head full of very demanding alphas would stop at nothing to have their story told.

Interview With Dee & Beck

Today on Kaidans Seduction we have some special guests joining us. First I have to say a HUGE THANK YOU THANK YOU to Harper Sloan for introducing us to a hot as hell world of Alpha Men who love hard, Play harder, and protect what is theirs with everything within them never walking away or quitting but staying and loving. I have to say kudos to Beck for his of Dee because lord have mercy she is a trying women but Beck wouldn’t have her any other way! 

Beck and Dee thank you for stopping by and sharing a little something special with us. And of course Harper we have a few questions for you.

Beck what was it about Dee that drew you to her & how did you know she was the one?

 I don’t know if I can put it in words. I just knew. One look and she was it, other woman just stopped being appealing to me.

Beck how hard was it to remain calm and collected when Dee ran? 

 Almost impossible. I knew there was something going on that was bigger than me.. I just had to be there for her to catch her when she fell.

Beck if there was one song to describe you and Dee what would it be?

 At Last. HAHA

Beck looking back at everything you and Dee went through if you could change anything what would it be & why?

 I don’t know if I would change a thing. Obviously I wish she would have come around sooner than she did but everything we’ve been through have made us stronger than ever.

Dee what was it about Beck that caught your attention and made you want to drop your walls? 

 Have you seen this man? Kidding, kind of. Haha. Beck is pretty much a force that you can’t get past. He saw me better than I saw myself.

Dee having the past you did and showing the world a different side everyday how hard was it to pretend? 

Because I have to say this DAM girl you had us all fooled. I thought YEAH Dee and Beck are going to have their HEA and not have that much drama but holy mother lover what ya’ll went through really was crazy! I struggled more and more as the days went by to keep that mask in place. It was hard, and taxing. I think I even had myself fooled. Everyone except this big hearted ape.

Dee if there was one song to describe Beck and what he means to you what would it be? 

Lollipop J

Dee can you tell us what the future holds for you and Beck? I can tell you a lot of women LOVE Beck and would do just about anything to get their hands on him. 

They can love him all they want but soon I will be Mrs. John Beckett! Who knows past that… all I know is I can’t wait to make this man mine!

Harper I just have to say that these alpha men are making it very hard for other men after reading their stories and struggles and the outcome for every couple. Their lives are lived hard, fast and dangerous but after all is said and done they still need someone to love and be there for them. 

What gave you the idea to write about alpha men who had a soft spot in them?

 Alpha men with heart is my weakness! I wish there were more stories out there with alphas. <3

Did music play a big role while writing about the guys?

 Oh yes! If I need some sort of mood I immediately put music on that will get me there. There isn’t a day of writing that passes without my music going!!!

After the series is done do you plan on writing more about them and their families? 

 I might… ;-)

Do you have a special place where you write? 

In bed. LOL! 

Can you tell us a few unknown facts about Axel, Cage, & Beck? 

 These boys are secret One Direction fans… but don’t tell them I told you!

Thank you guys for stopping by and sharing the love with us!

Literati Author Services, Inc. Presents Mike's Way Back - Finding Perfect #1 by Amy Gregory


Title: Mike’s Way Back (Finding Perfect #1)
Author: Amy Gregory
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: September 30, 2013
Cover Designed By: Davis Snodgrass
Event organized by: Literati Author Services, Inc.

Synopsis:

Detective Mike Sterling walked away from his dream job telling himself it was to honor the promise he’d made his mother, while lying in a Chicago emergency room. A year later, he’s still fighting the demons that followed him back to his boyhood town.

Taryn Watts is an award-winning designer, going from project to project, living from a suitcase. Her plan for Renlend Kansas was the same as always. Go in, get the job done and get out, just the way she likes it. Growing up as a cop’s daughter, her every move was controlled. When she escaped to college she vowed to never fall in love with a cop –ever. Until she found herself sitting across from the ruggedly handsome stranger. Looking into Mike’s ice blue eyes they pulled her, called to her, but there was a haunting in them she knew too well.

Mike is drawn to Taryn, her passion for her work and her stunning beauty left him breathless, but what surprises him most is the peace he feels when he’s near her. Maybe it’s because Taryn is a temporary addition to his town and his secret is safe, or maybe it’s because she makes him feel safe. Mike knows he can’t keep up this charade and when Taryn moves to Renlend for an extended stay he can’t hide the truth any longer.

Can Taryn forget he’s a cop and give him her heart, or will his demons drive them apart?


My Review

5 of 5 Mike's Way

Mike's Way Back is a great romance that I would recommend to all you romance lovers out there. I started reading this book at work and could not put it down because I needed to know what was going to happen next. I needed to see where the author was going to take the characters. I was not disappointed by the way the story flowed and the ending was one I loved and I need the second book like ASAP!

Detective Mike Sterling walked away from his dream job and his life to start over again.Something happened to him in that life and he wanted nothing more than to walk away and start a new life otherwise he would go crazy. So he packs up and goes back home to Renland Kansas. Once there he starts to feel at ease. Yes he still has nightmares and he still can't get out of his mind what happened but he thinks he is on the right path with starting over new.

Taryn Watts is a talented designer being requested all over the world. She is renowned in her field and loves to travel all over the world. She loves the feel of living her own life and not having to live in the shadow of her father who is a cop and her brothers who are over bearing. So when she gets a request to design a place in Renland Kansas she is excited to be off on another trip. When she gets there she meets Mike. Lord the way he looks and the way he acts has her heart on high alert because there is something there but she has sworn she would never fall for a cop. She stays away from them because she doesn't want another father. But the more time she spends with Mike the closer they get the more she needs him in her life. But she knows Mike is hiding something and she won't make a move until she finds out what it is. Will Mike be able to come clean and keep Taryn or will he walk away.....

About the Author:

When asked ‘when do you have time to write’, Amy Gregory simply laughs. The real answer is, “in bits and pieces”. She and her husband live in Kansas City with their three fantastic kids that keep them running in three very different directions. Because she sits so much, she always carries a notebook with her at all times.

She has an off the wall, snarky, off the cuff sense of humor that often shocks even those who’ve known her for years. And she loves that her children have all been blessed that ability to make others laugh as well. At least she’s grateful most of the time! Her husband often teases her about how she “makes this stuff up” when he’s reading a piece of her work. … The answer—“it just comes to me when I’m typing”. Scary thought, huh!

VIP by M. Robinson Interview with M. Robinson

Title: VIP
Author: M. Robinson
Genre: Erotica
Publication Date: December 4, 2013


The beginning- A point in time or space where something starts.

32 year old Sebastian Vanwell, was a very successful yacht broker, who always loved the design and architecture of a luxurious yacht. His only addiction was being on the water. He loved it, he thrived on it, and he needed it in his life. After a very stable, loving child hood with a few bumps, Sebastian married the love of his life. The one person that he knew would always be there. Julia was his rock, and he loved her more than life itself. Sebastian kept his addiction to the water under control, wanting to keep his time with his wife and son his number one obsession, that was until he saw her. This new addiction haunted him, the one compulsion that he couldn’t control no matter how hard he tried. 

Ysabelle Telle hit him hard, knocking the wind from his lungs. Coming from worlds apart, beautiful, dark complexion Ysabelle Telle didn’t have the rich, protected background that Sebastian Vanwell had. Ysabelle lived a life of hell, in poverty, growing up with a drug addict mother that never cared, and horrific living conditions. Ysabelle lived for one person and one person only; herself. She was pure perfection, her beauty along with a flawless body had men lined up, driveling over her insuring her success as a VIP. 

There are too many words that describe the effects when two diverse worlds like theirs collide. They both have too much to lose to get caught in the forceful pull, which could destroy them both.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and drug use. Intended for mature audiences.

Interview With M. Robinson:

Today on Kaidans Seduction we have the awesome M. Robinson here to talk about her debut book VIP. First let me tell you this is one kick ass debut for M. Robinson and I have read a lot of books and some I would rather not have but for VIP I could not put it down. I mean I was so engrossed in reading it it helped me get better because I did not leave the bed the entire day. So as sick as I was I stayed in bed and read and read and holy mother lover I am so glad I read it.

I have to say M. I read some of the reviews and I was kind of mad because a lot of people read it and did not like it because it had cheating in it. Okay so I am married and I don’t condone cheating. With this said I want to say that the blurb is very clear about what your book is about and if cheating bothers you DON’T READ THIS BOOK! So I want to start off this interview asking you why the cheating. 

Why did Sebby decide to cheat? 

M: I don’t think I can answer that. Lol!

Y: I can! Sebastian reaches over and covers Ysabelle’s mouth

S: I’ll answer it Ysa. Ysabelle smiles lovingly at Sebastian and he grins Ysa is my kryptonite, she’s my soul mate, it took 32 years to find her and I wont ever let her go. I never meant to hurt Julia, but Ysa’s everything to me. She always will be. 

M: Ah! Isn’t he adorable! Ysabelle & M look at each other and smile

What was his first reaction to Ysa?

M: M raises her hand Oh I know!

Y: Me too. 

S: Ladies I think the question was directed at me. He grins. My first reaction was that I just saw the women of my dreams, I knew in that moment that I would have her. 

M: Gah! Isn’t this suppose to be my interview?!

Y: It isn’t always about you M! Ysabelle says winking at Sebastian. 

Why did Sebby give up the water if he loved it so much?

Y: I think it was because it reminded him of Olivia and then me. Sebastian smiles. 

How long was his and Olivia’s friendship/relationship?

S: Olivia and I had a tumultuous relationship from the get go. It lasted all throughout adolescence. Ysabelle reaches for Sebastian hand and kisses it. 

What made Sebby marry Julia?

S: Julia was there for me when I needed her the most. She saved me from myself, if that makes any sense. I married because I did and do love her, but I’m not in love with her, and it took Ysabelle to come into my life to realize that. 

Who has Sebby’s heart?

M: I want to answer one! Ysabelle rolls her eyes and Sebastian breaks out laughing. I think that answer is obvious…

Ysa has had such a hard life why did she become a VIP? 

Y: I became a VIP because that’s what I needed in my life at that time, I don’t regret anything about my time with Madam, and at the point it was all I knew. Sebastian rolls his eyes. 

When did Ysa know she had true feelings for Sebby?

Y: I think I realized it when we were on the yacht. 

S: Bullshit she wanted me just as much as I wanted her. Sebastian grins. 

What were Ysa‘s first assertion of Sebby when she saw him?

Y: I thought he was really handsome and tall. Ysabelle laughs. 

This is your debut book what can you tell us about writing it?

M: Finally my turn! My writing is intense. I love to push myself and I think I exceed that with VIP. 

Who were your Sebby and Ysa muse? 

M: Ysabelle is my alter ego. Ysabelle laughs. 

Y: I’m one of a kind baby! She winks at M. 

M: Hey! I made you doll. Sebastian is a lot like my Husband. The baseball, the water, the yachts, that’s all my husband. 

What music if any influenced you while writing?

M: House music baby. 

Can you tell us if you have a work in progress?

Y: SHHHHH…you will have to wait and see. All three smile and grin.

Dreams Come True Promotions Presents VIP by M. Robinson Blog Tour Stop


Title: VIP
Author: M. Robinson
Genre: Erotica
Publication Date: December 4, 2013


The beginning- A point in time or space where something starts.

32 year old Sebastian Vanwell, was a very successful yacht broker, who always loved the design and architecture of a luxurious yacht. His only addiction was being on the water. He loved it, he thrived on it, and he needed it in his life. After a very stable, loving child hood with a few bumps, Sebastian married the love of his life. The one person that he knew would always be there. Julia was his rock, and he loved her more than life itself. Sebastian kept his addiction to the water under control, wanting to keep his time with his wife and son his number one obsession, that was until he saw her. This new addiction haunted him, the one compulsion that he couldn’t control no matter how hard he tried. 

Ysabelle Telle hit him hard, knocking the wind from his lungs. Coming from worlds apart, beautiful, dark complexion Ysabelle Telle didn’t have the rich, protected background that Sebastian Vanwell had. Ysabelle lived a life of hell, in poverty, growing up with a drug addict mother that never cared, and horrific living conditions. Ysabelle lived for one person and one person only; herself. She was pure perfection, her beauty along with a flawless body had men lined up, driveling over her insuring her success as a VIP. 

There are too many words that describe the effects when two diverse worlds like theirs collide. They both have too much to lose to get caught in the forceful pull, which could destroy them both.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and drug use. Intended for mature audiences.

My Review

5 of 5 VIP Sebby & Ysa

Okay first I need to put a warning on this review. This book has CHEATING, lying, sneaking around, and a possible HEA depends on who you root for! Okay now that that is out of the way I can proceed with the good stuff and tell you that this book for a debut is absolutely amazing! I was sick when I read this book and I stayed in bed reading all night and half a day and let me tell you it was an amazing ride to read. I will say this there is cheating in this story and NO I don't condone it but it worked for this book because the characters truly made it work.

Sebby is in a loving marriage and has the best family ever. His wife and child come before anyone. But there is a side to Sebby that he keeps to himself and that is his love for water. He loves being in the water on the water but he has given his true love up for his family. Then he meets her Ysa and things bubble up in him he never knew where there and things are about to change for Sebby. See Sebby has always towed the line in his and he has never strayed from what others have wanted but this time he is about to take a plunge to see what will happen and how far this thing will go.

Ysa has had a rough life and she knows she comes from a less than desirable background and upbringing but she is determined to live her life the way she wants to and no one is going to stop her. Ysa's life is about to change in a way she never seen coming because when she meets him her life will spiral out of control and Ysa will have to either submit to her feelings and him or she will walk away and suffer the backlash that will come from being around this man she has feelings for and not just simple feelings but feelings she has never experienced before.

What will Ysa do? Will she stay or will she walk? What will Sebby do? Will he walk or will he fight for the one thing in life he wants more than his air to breathe?







M. Robinson loves to read. She favors anything that has angst, romance, triangles, cheating, love, and of course sex! She has been reading since the Babysitters Club and R.L. Stein. 

She was born in New Jersey but was raised in Tampa Fl. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D in psychology, with two years left. 

She is married to an amazing man who she loves to pieces. They have two German Shepherd mixes and a Tabby cat. 

Her debut novel VIP will be released in December 2013. Add it to your TBR list!!

My Review

5 of 5 Boystown Chicago

Okay, so let me start this review out by saying I have typed this review 11 times and deleted it 11 times because after reading this story I was amazed, shocked, stunned, and everything in between! I mean I was literally brain fu&^%$! I mean, I have never read a story like this one. 

BOYSTOWN is written in "episodes," each ending in a cliffhanger. As you go through the episodes things start to heat up and you're like, holy eff what the hell is going on? 

So we have Jesse and Cole who are in college and they are graduating and looking for jobs. They have both found their dream jobs in Chicago and are looking forward to graduating and starting their new lives.

Then you have the happy couple Joyelle and Derek. They are the perfect couple as Derek travels for work and Joyelle is an ER nurse and loves her job. They have been married for years and Joyelle is ready for more. She wants to make her family complete. But there is one thing about one of these individuals that will rock this relationship to the core. Will they survive this or will they walk away from each other?

Emmett and Keith are the perfect couple. They are so in love and do everything together. So much so that Keith is planning on doing something special for Emmett. But just as Keith thinks he is going to get his HEA, someone has decided that he will not get his HEA yet, and they plan on doing something very very naughty. Will Keith and Emmett survive this new (or old) threat to their relationship? Will someone try and hurt them? I will say this I LOVE Emmett and if something happens to him I will be flying to Chicago a lot sooner.... hint hint Jake!

Max and Logan have been together for a long time and everything seems to be spiraling out of control. One of them has a drinking problem and the other is left trying to help him when he does not want help. So what do you do when the person you love does not want you anymore? Do you move on quietly or do you fight like hell for the person you love to keep them even though you know they don't want you?

See what I mean? So much going on with these characters and then we add to the mix some other characters like Jacqueline who is one of the character's mother who finds herself in a relationship with someone younger and when her son finds out who it is, all hell is going to break lose because that guy has a HUGE secret and when it comes out, I don't think anyone will be left standing.

Then we have Ben who is connected to two of the characters and is falling in love with one of them but when the secrets and lies come to the forefront, all hell is going to break lose. Whoop whoop! What drama we get from my man Ben. He is a chocolate God, sex on wheels but I would not want to be him when shit happens.......

Then we have Nick, Todd, and Justin who are related to some of the characters by blood and by relationships and boy oh boy when the drama unfolds and shit hits the fan and the police are called who will be left standing and who will be dead??

Oh and that police officer is actually detective Michael Martinez and boy does he have a story to tell. Lord, makes me need some ice cold water something fierce because I was feeling very feverish reading about Michael. lordy....... lordy..... lordy.... CALIENTE! 

So Boystown is a real place in Chicago and after reading this book, I told my husband I need to go there and visit because I have this image in my head that Jake put in it and I just have to go there and visit and get my book signed by Jake. I am so fan girling it is not funny. I mean I want to be in his brain so bad because that ending was like WTF? Really Jake? No you did not! Man oh man why is one of my favorite characters there? 

This is a MUST READ male/male and male/female book but most of all I felt like I was there right in front of the characters living their lives with them, going through all their ups and downs and all their pain and grief they had. Jake you are BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interview With Jake Biondi:

Today on Kaidans Seduction we have a very special guest Jake Biondi author of Boystown (Season One). I have to say, Jake, I fell in love with Boystown right from the opening sentences to the very end. I can’t believe this is your debut book. I mean the way you write has totally drawn me in and kept me reading till late morning because I had to find out what would happen to the gang.

I am a fairly new reader of M/M books and I have to say that Boystown is on my top ten M/M reads for 2013. Thank you for stopping by and answering a few questions. I know readers want to know because dare I say I totally NEED to know the answers to some of these questions. So let’s get down to business shall we…..

1. What inspired you to write Boystown?

I have always been a fan of continuing dramas, whether they be classics such as the novels of Charles Dickens (which were released in magazines in installments, each of which ended with a cliffhanger to keep readers coming back for more) or more modern such as Dallas, Dynasty, and Revenge. I thought it was finally time for a well-written, intriguing drama that had gay characters at its core. And after living in Chicago’s Boystown neighborhood for twenty years, I thought to myself, “What better place to inspire a continuing drama?” Thus, my story was born.

2. I have never been to Chicago’s Boystown; can you briefly describe it for us?

Boystown is a neighborhood on the north side of Chicago along Lake Michigan. It is formally known as Lakeview, but its “nickname” is either Boystown or Wrigleyville (because the Chicago Cubs’ Wrigley Field sits in the heart of it). “Ground Zero” of Boystown is the intersection of Roscoe and Halsted Streets, which is where most of the gay bars are located. It’s the gayest and most diverse neighborhood in the Midwest, but recently it’s becoming more and more “straight” as straight couples and families move into the area. I wanted to make sure my story reflected those demographics by featuring some straight characters as well as characters of diverse ethnic backgrounds.

3. Jesse & Cole are graduating from college; what are their degrees in?

Haha, good question. I had both Jesse and Cole attend the University of Notre Dame because that’s where I went so that’s a campus that I know well. Plus, it is not the most “accepting” of homosexuals so I wanted to have two strong gay males on campus to acknowledge that students like Cole and Jesse do exist and attend the school. As for their majors, I’d have to say “business” because both of them accepted jobs in the financial district of Chicago.

4. Derek & Joyelle meet at their college reunion what brought them together?

They attended the University of Michigan (Notre Dame rivals that I also know well!) and met at a college reunion. They were introduced by friends and quickly fell in love. They did not know each other as students at Michigan.

5. Max & Emmett have been friends for a long time and they discussed opening a restaurant. Why didn’t they open one up?

As I’m sure you know, the restaurant business is a tough one. It’s risky and most new restaurants don’t make it. It’s a competitive market and occupation, and people who do well spend their lives at the restaurant; they don’t have much time for a social life. Max and Emmett talked about it more as a “dream” to try “one day”; they never explored the option seriously, until now, when their lives are at crossroads and they both want a new start in life. Will their dream become a reality? Stay tuned!

6. Why has Jacqueline kept the identity of Jesse’s father a secret?

Jacqueline was very, very young when she got pregnant and by the time she knew she was pregnant, she was no longer with the baby’s father. She is an independent and determined woman who didn’t want to be with a man who felt “obligated” to be with her just because of a pregnancy. So she never tracked the father down to tell him about his son and decided to raise Jesse on her own. But Jesse has always wanted to know his father and maybe someday soon, he will.

7. We didn’t get to read much about Cole’s family; where are his parents and does he have any siblings?

 If Cole survives the cliffhanger at the end of the book, we may begin to learn more about his family and his past. Cole’s mother is living with cancer and is in a very fragile state. We don’t know much about Cole’s father or his family. In fact, there may be things that Cole himself doesn’t know. 

8. Was Derek Cole’s first sexual encounter?

No, Derek has been discreetly meeting up with men when traveling on business trips for some time. Until Cole, those men were just “hook ups,” nothing more. But there was something about Cole and their Boston weekend together that awakened strong feelings in Derek, feelings that even he couldn’t shake long after returning home from Boston. And Cole was clearly smitten with Derek or he wouldn’t have manipulated things to ensure he found an apartment right across the street. The missing wedding ring may still cause some problems for them, as may Derek’s mysterious brother Justin.

9. Can you tell us what topping & bottoming means? Max punched Jesse in the face when Jesse called him “bottom boy.” Is that an offensive remark?

Haha, tops and bottoms, eh? I love these questions! In a gay relationship, the “top” is usually the one in control and, during intercourse, acts as the man would in straight sex. The “bottom” is usually more submissive in the relationship and during intercourse, the bottom “receives” as a woman would in straight sex. Some people prefer the terms “pitcher” and “catcher.” Hopefully, I don’t need to be any more explicit than that. Sometimes, calling someone a “bottom” can be an insult to his ego and “manliness.” Jesse was trying to insult Max and get under his skin when he made the remark.

10. What is wrong with Logan? Is he sick?

I would certainly describe Logan has having a drinking problem; he abuses alcohol. He uses drinking as an “escape” and a coping mechanism. It stems from his insecurity, always feeling inferior to Max for whatever reason. In the end, the drinking was just too much for Max to deal with on a regular basis. Logan seemed to have no regard for himself, his health, or his relationship with Max. But now that Logan and Jesse are interested in one another, who knows how the drinking will be affected or affect them?

11. Can you tell us about hottie Officer Michael Martinez? Is he gay as well because it does not really say when we read about him? 

You know what is so interesting about Michael? I had no intention of even giving him a name! He was just going to be a minor character, the police officer assigned to the investigation of Emmett’s disappearance. But my characters tend to take on a lives all their own and all of a sudden I recognized the storyline possibilities for Michael. So I named him and he is now a permanent part of the cast. And, yes, he is a hottie! I deliberately did not state his sexual orientation explicitly but I think you can figure out which teams he plays on. His interest in Keith isn’t purely platonic. 

12. This is your debut novel. How do you feel now that it is published and out in the world? How many more seasons can we look forward to reading about the gang?

I originally introduced Boystown as an online continuing story back in June. I planned to release a new “episode” once each month. Well before I knew it, I had over 1,000 online readers nationwide who began to write to me via Facebook begging for the next installment! They wanted to know what would happen to their favorite characters. So I sped up the release dates – and the writing process – and had released 10 episodes by November. And the audience continued to grow – from 1,000 up to 4,000 readers. The fun thing about releasing one installment at a time is that readers can write to me and actually influence what happens to the characters. I take all my readers’ comments to heart. Anyway, a friend suggested that I publish episodes one through ten as a book while I began working on episodes eleven and twelve. I had no intention originally to do publish it as book but I’m really glad I did. It’s exciting to walk through the neighborhood and see it in the windows of the bookstores.

13. What does the future hold for BOYSTOWN?

Well, it’s interesting. There has been a lot of interest from production companies and studios who want to turn BOYSTOWN into a television series. So I am exploring those opportunities now, in addition to writing additional episodes of BOYSTOWN for my readers. To have BOYSTOWN appear on HBO or Showtime or LogoTV one day would be a dream. Stay tuned!

Jake, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for stopping by and sharing with your readers. I don’t often do interviews for authors because I never really know what to ask but I just could not get enough of Boystown and I needed some answers like I needed air to breathe. By the way, I am so Team Cole and Emmett that I hope they get a HEA!

That’s funny too – you have no idea how many readers have told me that they want Cole and Emmett to be together. It’s not a couple that I ever remotely considered. But who knows? Maybe I need to give the readers what – or who – they want?!
