Taming the Bander
 
(a m/m contemporary with some shapeshifting too)

He thought he had nothing left to loseuntil he lost his heart.

Jake will be forever grateful to the man who rescued him and brought him to an animal preserve to live. It’s the perfect home for a bander, a type of shifter known to be notoriously taciturn. Now Jake runs the place, and he’s content with the hard truth that he’ll always be alone.

Summer visitors are a necessary evil. And Vaughn Prentiss is exactly the sort of tourist that gets on Jake’s last nerve. A happy-go-lucky, carefree, trust-fund baby.

Vaughn can’t fathom why Jake seems to enjoy insulting him for no reason. Yet he’s attracted to the man’s gruff kindness with the preserve’s youthful workers. And it hasn’t escaped his notice that Jake is something special. Something not quite human.

When Vaughn discovers his financial manager has absconded with the family fortune, Jake acts on impulse to offer him a job, and wonders if he’ll live to regret it. It’s hard enough to keep his shifter nature private, much less keep his paws off his newest employee…a man Jake is coming to admire. If only he could be sure, when danger reveals the truth of what he is, if Vaughn will stay by his side—or run.

Warning: Contains a sexy “pretty boy” who’s smarter than he looks and a grouchy shapeshifter who can’t resist strong hands and a wicked tongue. Prepare yourself. This book is anything but tame.


"A deliciously light-hearted story about an unusual shapeshifter and his unlikely lover.... "

the first Bonnie Dee / Summer Devon contemporary!

When Mary Scott offers him a job—and a place to stay—mixing drinks and tapping beer at her theme bar, My Parents' Basement, Luke accepts. Customers flock to the cozy pub, designed to evoke memories of lost childhood, to meet and mingle and play games.

For Mary, her gorgeous new employee should be off-limits. She's his boss. And they're very different—something her interfering family constantly points out. But Mary's done playing the good girl. And Luke isn't the bad boy everyone thinks he is. Their attraction simmers until Mary seduces Luke into playing some deliciously adult games. Then a shocking betrayal threatens everything...

"UNNATUR

The Psychic and the Sleuth

My fifth historical m/m title with Bonnie Dee.

Book Review, Toni Sweeney, 5 stars
An erotic M/M and a great thriller besides. ... Each man has a full background, and there is equal concentration on their love for each other as well as the story. Even the villain gets his share of a back story. The sights, sounds, and smells of London are there in full force, and it all comes together in a gripping—and chilling—story of love and death, illicit passion and murder.
--Toni Sweeney

House of Mirrors,  Our fourth m/m historical romance.
" I simply adore this book. The story touched my heart . . . Both authors Bonnie Dee & Summer Devon have created a world that the reader can feel they can step into. To walk among those in the story as they go about their daily life within the carnival world. The characters are real and you begin to care about them as they are a fami
ly in and of itself. The day-to-day reality of the traveling show, and the individuals that keep the show going from town to town, so the reader is made to feel as if they are a part of the story."

"House of Mirrors is a fascinating tale of illusion and reality, emotion and suspense."

Powder of Love, m/f historical romance
"The presence of this aphrodisiac provides for some pretty hilarious comedy as various people fall under its influence. It is also the cause of some of the steamy action that occurs. At just under 200 pages, this book is a wonderfully complete read. It's a story that stays with you long after you finish reading!"
--The Romance Review






The Mad Baron, m/f historical romance
 
"Well there went my day. The Mad Baron is a read-in-one-sitting glorious romp of a book. Love it, love it, love it." --Valerie Parv

"
Wow! What a nice surprise! THE MAD BARON is a wonderful treasure found. This is no disposable romance. It is an instant classic to be kept "on the shelf" and read over and over. . . Much more depth than the usual romance. Excellent emotional element. Highly recommended!" --Top Pick at TRR

The Nobleman and The Spy



 
Voted a Recommended read at Dear Author

" It’s an exciting and robust tale with mouth-watering intrigue, political machinations, witty banter and some fizzlingly sensuous sex scenes and like The Gentleman and the Rogue (which if you haven’t read why the hell not?) I can’t recommend it highly enough. I want to take away these ladies’ pens until they promise they write nothing else but gay historicals. " --Erastes
