Of Gods and Monsters Monoetius by Wulf Francu Godgluck

Synopsis: Dear Author,
He calls me “Master”, but I’m the one who’s really a slave to his heart. I’m supposed to be strong, but I feel so weak every time I think about how we almost didn’t have this… how close I came to losing him… my precious boy.

Photo Description: 
The photo shows a young man with thick, dark hair pinned on a bed, hands clasped above his head by the man on top of him. The other man’s circumcised cock is on offer, barely touching the young man’s nose. The young man’s tongue is placed directly against the other man’s cock. There is a power exchange but also something else. The man beneath him is daring, teasing his cock— but look closer. Their hands tell an entirely different story. Their fingers are knotted together in a connection deep, powerful and strong. There is love here, with a passion and a playfulness that can only be understood between them.

This is their story.

This story may contain sexually explicit content and is intended for adult readers. It may contain content that is disagreeable or distressing to some readers. The M/M Romance Group strongly recommends that each reader review the General Information section before each story for story tags as well as for content warnings.


Review: I assume I was given this by the author, or someone that knows him. All I know is that it was sitting on my kindle and it was hot. So, first we have Colt, more accurately described as Master Colt. He is the biggest asshole you can find. He sees what he wants, takes it, and most often, breaks it. Until he meets Beo. Beo is a special guy. He's very sweet, clearly a submissive type, but always seems sickly. Still, he's the character that lights up the story, because everyone in it loves him. There's more to them both than one would think. Colt has a traumatic and dark past, and a lot of reasons to hate people in general. Beo was born into unlucky circumstance, but he's so upbeat and caring. He's soft and emotional and it's great to watch Colt trip over himself for him. Not to mention the sex. It just suits their characters. Damn good read here

Synopsis: Scornfully rejected by her desert lover and uncertain of her place in the world, Adonia travels an arduous road fraught with peril to the fabled mountain-city of Nyth Uchel. She wishes to heal their sick and dying, but in the arms of Hel—their highborn prince—Adonia finds where she wants to belong.

Noble born, a descendant of the greatest kings their planet has known, Hel willingly bears the burden of his dying city and its people on his massive shoulders—alone. But forced to watch helplessly as a dark evil attacks the very soil under his feet, he crushes his pride to summon help. He is staggered to discover the answer to saving his city and perhaps all Verdantia might lie behind a heavy fall of chocolate hair and shy brown eyes.

As their entire planet faces encroaching black death, Hel and Adonia, two seemingly disparate individuals, forge a partnership of love and sacrifice that alters their future forever. All of Verdantia will be tested.


Review: This was a bit more of an interesting story. So Adonia has a bit of a self esteem issue thanks to her previous lover. She doesn't see herself as womanly and attractive and therefore takes no more lovers. She studies to be a healer and is good at it. This bit of vulnerability makes her easier to relate to. She's a little different from our other heroines in the series because of it, yet similar. She has a fearless side, as she is a trained warrior as well. Hel is interesting because he's a prince and bears a heavy load. He's lost his family and is slowly losing his people. He has to swallow his pride to ask for help. In Adonia he finds the planet's salvation, and his own.
I love this story. There were a few part where I kind of grit my teeth because Hel is so overbearing and commanding. But it's quite adorable to also watch him berate himself when he feels he's made an error. Would've been nice to see her push back a bit. If there is one thing I love to see, it's a woman who will stand her ground and occasionally make her male bow down. That being said, if there's more to the series, I can't wait to read it.

Alluring Surrender Cover Reveal

Synopsis:

Cruz Edwards is the talented drummer of Bayou Stix, the most famous rock band in the country. Behind his drum set, he’s a god. Playing is his escape from his tormented past. He’s a deeply tortured man and the scars of his conception and parentage run deep, so deep his friends worry that eventually he’ll sink into the abyss of his own making. 

Tifanie Jeffries- Bellaforte is a fiercely strong woman. Her upbringing is the polar opposite of Cruz’s. She’s never wanted for anything and comes from one of the most influential families in Louisiana history. Her privileged upbringing smothered her and she’s worked harder than anyone to prove that she is capable of anything she sets her mind to. She is living proof that character and hard work are more important than a family name and wealth. She’s shunned her life of luxury and supports herself as a brilliant paramedic. 

Other than being behind his drums, Cruz is used to hiding from the world and only allows his beloved momma and trusted group of friends a front row seat to his true self. Tifanie is used to getting what she wants, not because she feels entitled, but because she’s willing to work for it. 

What happens when a strong woman who refuses to give up meets a man who’s only known despair? 

What happens when the walls you’ve built around yourself are pulled down one by one? 

What happens when the biggest challenge of your life is overcoming yourself? 

Sometimes the things that prove you’re strong come from allowing yourself to surrender.

No one ever expected much from him.

Joshua Elijah Griffin, IV is on his last chance. A stint in rehab and a transfer to a new school has scared him into putting his life on track. He’s determined to live up to his family’s expectations, but on the first day of class, Josh meets a girl, and he knows his father won’t approve, but in Carrington, he sees a kindred spirit. He's willing to give up everything to be with her.

No one ever thought she was special.

Carrington Olivia Butler is ready to shine. Always in the shadows of her siblings, she goes away to college to break out of her shell. All Carrington wants is to feel special.

~*~EXCERPT~*~
I reached out and grabbed her, wrapping my arms around her waist. She resisted,
pushing and punching my arms and shoulders. I wanted her to fight me. To hit me and scream and show me what I did to her.
After a while, she collapsed in my arms, exhausted from fighting, but her sobs
continued for several more minutes. My neck and chest dampened from her tears, and her whole body convulsed when she released an uncontrollable series of coughs. It shook us both, but I held on tight. The vibration of our bodies glued together made me hard, and I found it difficult to concentrate. I tried to push those thoughts out of my head. I wanted her to understand.
It tore me up to know I caused her an ounce of pain. I held her tight with one arm and stroked her back with the other. Each stroke, her body softened. When her last bit of energy drained, I turned us around and her back was up against my car. I placed my hands on her hips; she whimpered as I lifted her and sat her on the trunk.
Her damp hair stuck to her face, and I pushed it away. I wiped her eyes and lifted her chin.
"How could you leave me like that?" she asked. The desperation in her voice
fucked with my mind. I hated myself.
"I'm sorry," I whispered as my lips sweep across her cheek. She tensed. I
expressed my gratitude by kissing her other cheek. She whimpered, and my heart
cracked.
I kissed her forehead, dropped my hands to her waist, and her head fell forward without my support.
"Why?" she asked. Her voice sounded defeated, but defiant. She wanted an
answer. She deserved an answer.
"Since I meet you, I've had the time of my life." I kissed her jawline as I placed

my hands on her thighs. “I’ve never met anyone like you before." As my lips moved to her ear, she leaned into me. I pushed her legs apart. I wanted to hold her, get closer to her. She relaxed more with every kiss. "I want to be with you so bad." When I reached her earlobe, I bit it, and she moaned. "But eventually you're going to leave me."
