Blurb:

In June, 1966, ACLU attorney Eron Lassiter attends his uncle’s wedding, and makes an unsettling discovery. Though he’d bowed to family pressure and has a potential marriage planned, his long-ignored attraction to other men roars to life when Garrett Emerson, the bride’s nephew, captures his attention.

After serving in the Korean War and going to college later than his peers, upwardly mobile Garrett is a loan officer at a local bank. For his girlfriend, fiancé in her mind, he can’t climb fast enough. But none of that matters to Eron, and maybe that’s why Garrett’s so drawn to him.

Can Eron and Garrett find happiness amidst the still pervasive culture of propriety, honor, and expectation in the 1960s?

Excerpt:

By the time they made it to the beach, the July heat and humidity had reached their peak. They grabbed some burgers and fries from a boardwalk stand and snatched a table as a family got up. “You want to stay and swim?” Eron asked as he gobbled down his burger.

“Not really, too crowded.”

“When I was a kid, we’d never let the crowd stop us from swimming,” Eron quipped.

“Yeah, guess we have some sense now.”

 They finished eating. Eron nodded toward the car rather than the beach. Garrett smirked and followed. As Garrett drove back to his apartment, Eron reached out and touched his thigh.

“I’m sorry,” Eron blurted out, in line with his own thoughts, but out of nowhere in the silence.

“For what?” Garrett answered, as if he and Eron were thinking about the same thing.

“I guess the whole thing.”

Garrett looked at him and grimaced. “What do you mean?”

“I feel like I start things and then put them to rest.”

Garrett shrugged. “I suppose things can be kind of sticky between us.”

“I don’t want them to be. I haven’t regretted anything we’ve done.”

“Having sex in the bushes at the country club?”

“Nope.”

“Dancing at the Valentine’s dance?”

“Not at all.”

“Maybe if we lived in a vacuum and didn’t have to deal with the rest of the world, this would be easier?”

“Maybe.”

* * * *

They finished the drive back to the apartment in silence. Eron’s sincerity had shone through when he spoke of what they had done and his lack of regret. Eron’s words eased the tension between them. At the flea market, with other people around, they had no trouble carrying on a conversation.

Garrett pulled into his parking spot. He nodded toward his apartment as they got out of the car. Once inside, Eron lowered himself to the davenport and Garrett plopped down next to him.

“I’ve been a jerk,” Eron said.

“We’re both confused. Don’t be so hard on yourself.” Garrett wanted to agree with him, but when he played the scene in his head, Eron came off less a jerk than he blamed himself. “It doesn’t help that we both have girlfriends and family that only want what they think is the best for us.”

“Do you and Johnette…you know…”

“Have sex? No. I used to tell myself it was because she was a respectable girl and we should wait.”

“And now?”

“Come on, you know the answer to that. What about you and Mary Ellen?”

“Same situation.”

“Eron, why did you come see me today?”

* * * *

Eron had struggled with the same question. “As much as I don’t want to be gay, I want to be with you.”

“I understand that,” Garrett said after a while. “I don’t identify with the queens that live in the city.”

“What about our jobs? Our family?”

“Could we make it work?”

“I have no idea. Honestly I don’t. I’ve spent hours plotting and examining every angle and I’m more confused than I was to start. I walled up any feelings I had about other men a long time ago, but you brought them to the surface.”

Garrett fiddled with the worn seam on one of the cushions. “I guess you made it safe for me to feel the same way, to experiment.”

“You soothe me and you’re practical.”

Garrett soaked in Eron’s confession. “I do?”

Eron swallowed the last of his fear. “Yes.”

“You know, all I hear anymore is to focus more on my career at the bank and to quit dicking around at the flea market. Even Dad says I need to shit or get off the pot. But you do nothing but encourage me.”

“Isn’t that what being in love is about? Encouraging and helping?”

“Are you saying that you love me?” Garrett squinted at him, then cupped his face in his hands. “Say it again.”

Garrett studied Eron’s face further.

“Yes, it’s true. I have no other explanation for how I feel. I love you.”

Garrett gulped. “I’ve dreamed of hearing those words since we met. I…I love you, too.”

Just A Week came out just a week early! Book Release and Review

Review:

Seth went back to his hometown to help his parent’s out for the week of spring break. In the week, he meets and falls for the new guy in town. Seth has all these plans and everything should just fall in line with them. 

Maddox is a carefree, fun loving guy who just goes with the flow. Somewhere along the way, his every changing hair color and skater boy attitude manages to throw a monkey wrench into Seth’s plans.

This is a cute, fast paced story. It’s low on angst or suspense—a feel good, humorous type story. If you’re looking for fun, flirty, and funny, this one should suit just fine. I give this one a four out of five stars.

Just A Week

 Blurb:
Just a week is not enough time to fall in love, but Fate doesn’t care. Seth’s carefully crafted plan for how his life will go doesn’t include falling in love with a guy in his horrible hometown. He wants to start a new life anywhere but at home. Until Maddox storms in with his multi-colored hair and carefree attitude. Long distance relationships don’t work and Seth isn’t into gambling with his future. But the more time he spends with Maddox, the more he’s willing to throw caution to the wind. Now his plan for the rest of his life has been turned upside down and seems to include things Seth never thought possible, including a lifetime of happiness in his hometown.

Book Review--If I Were Fire By Heloise West

If I were Fire

Heloise West

I received a free copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Conte Salvesto Masello is trying to save his family villa from creditors by selling off his family heirlooms. His father had gone mad and run up the debts Salvesto is trying to repay. Even worse, Salvesto hasn’t been able to locate some of the most valuable pieces of art work his father had hidden. Now, Salvesto is force to sell off his mother’s silver to one of the local pawnbrokers, Guelfetto. While dealing with the pawnbroker, Amadeo lands at his feet.

Amadeo made a bargain to rig the palio races for his contrade. When he didn’t lose as planned, his family kicked him out and refused to help him with his gambling debts. Guelfetto has Amadeo taken hostage and plans to sell him to their enemies, the Florentines. Instead, Salvesto pays his ransom with the last of his mother’s silver. Money that was supposed to go to pay off the villa. 

Now the two must find a way to save the villa and along the way, they find each other.

This book may be a short and quick read, but it’s very action packed. Over all it’s an enjoyable read, with good pacing and great descriptions. It could have been just a little nicer if it were a bit longer with some added depth. Even so I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. If you like historicals with good pace and a nice plot, I’d recommend putting this one on your list.
