At the age of ten, Dylan Daniels was a placed-out kid sent from New York's Five Points to a family in Nebraska. But Dylan ran away at the age of eighteen when he realized he preferred boys and didn't want to be a farmer. Once he made his way to Hollywood, he wound up as a popular and high-class hustler with a number of wealthy clients.

Now in 1933 near the end of the Prohibition Era in America, Dylan meets Ben Carter during a bar raid. Ben, who's a six-year veteran of the LAPD and deeply in the closet, is instantly both attracted and repelled by this beautiful man. Between them they struggle to overcome the barriers that keep them apart, including Dylan's career, and Ben being in a brutal squad that frequently raids pansy bars and beats the patrons, which tears Ben apart.

Will Ben let Dylan's love heal him or destroy him altogether?

Robert Berkus’s steady academic life seemed to be an open road until the day he took a detour... right into Officer Miguel Rodriguez’s path. When Miguel helps the sexy professor change a flat tire, Robert is absolutely oblivious to Miguel's interest. That suits Miguel just fine, though. He’s used to being the aggressor although it sure would be nice to get this sweet and staid college professor to make the first move.

When Robert gets his act in gear, the results prove explosive. Miguel wants Robert in his bed and in his life permanently, and Robert enthusiastically agrees—but they've already learned that life makes detours. Sometimes it takes love a little courage to arrive at its chosen destination.

*wonders if she's the only one weired out by bum-fluff-stache-guy wearing a cravat on one cover and then jeans in the next*

*ponders*

*maybe he's a book cover time traveller??*

*that could happen*

Chris said...

Thanks for mentioning that, Kris! Loose Id's apparently having an issue, so the House of Mirrors cover wasn't showing up - I backtracked it on GRs, because he's one I'm tracking. He's on Wren's book, Back to Normal, too! :)

And thank you, Lily - I don't have any of these yet! Oh, wait, I did just read Devon's Revenge. Whew!

Lily said...

Kris, anything to get you to show up here! :D

Lily said...

You just made it, Chris! Devon's Revenge sounds good. Did you like it?

Chris said...

Lily: I did! I read Ethan's Freedom right before it - you definitely need to read it first. Both were good.

Tam said...

Oddly enough I'm kind of ambivalent this week. Not that it's a bad thing for my bank account.

Tam said...

Oh my. How did I miss that hottie? VERY nice.

Lily said...

Thanks Chris, I'll add them both to my TBR. Maybe one day. So many books so little time! *sigh*

Lily said...

Tam, there are some that sound good but definitely not like some other weeks.

Lily said...

He is pretty hot! Glad you liked him, Tam. :)

Chris said...

LOL! I need more covers of him before I'll have enough for a Misadventure.

Lily said...

Hmm, I'm not sure why Woman Askew deleted her post. Maybe she's off looking for more covers for you Misadventures.

Erotic Horizon said...

Yup - adding a few of these to my list for next week...

:)

Lily said...

Hope you enjoy them, EH! :)
