Actions And Reactions, by Hinsel Meyer

When the cracks on the ice start to show…

Ivan

I’ve been hurt on the ice more times than I can count. After all, my legendary father put skates on my feet as soon as I could walk. But the one blow I’ve never recovered from was the one dealt by the boy who was right next to me when I first felt the ice under me.
I know what I should’ve done, should’ve said, should’ve kept quiet.
But knowing all those things doesn’t change the fact that it’s been seven years since I had a single conversation with the other half of me.

Silas

Vinny has always been my best friend.
Not talking for years doesn’t mean that’s not true, it just means it’s complicated. The problems start when we try to detangle things.
It’s not my fault he’s the only man who’s ever made me feel desire, it’s not my fault he offers it so easily.
But is it my fault when the pain that broke us apart resurfaces? He’s been avoiding it and I’ve been hiding from it.
Now we’re both faced with the harsh reality we’ve been pretending isn’t there.

I’m going to have to finally face the past in order to fight for our future.

Actions And Reactions is a Contemporary MM Hockey Romance and Book 5 in the All It Takes Series. Themes include a first love, mental health representation, found family feels, hurt/comfort, higher angst than normal for Hinsel (still mid-angst), one very sad hockey player bummed about unrequited love, and a guy who loves hockey more than anything in the world…or so he thinks.
While it’s technically a standalone, it would be best enjoyed by reading the series in order.
This book has no cliffhangers and ends in a HEA. There are a lot of very gay things happening inside, so if that’s not for you, then this book isn’t either. If it is, then welcome to the mostly low-angst world of the All It Takes Series, I’m thrilled to have you and hope you enjoy this journey.

Love Comes in Threes, by Marie Sinclair

A single phone call changes the perfectly-balanced V-relationship husbands Elliott and Luc, and Luc’s Dom/boyfriend, Leo, have maintained for years. If they’re brave enough to take the chance, they could build something even stronger for all of them together.

Elliott thrives on routine: teaching college literature, caring for his dogs, and unconditionally loving his husband, Luc. Whether that means building a recording studio for Luc’s burgeoning career as a pet care influencer or supporting Luc’s love for his Dom, Elliott is there for him no matter what.

Luc is the luckiest man in the world. His pet care YouTube channel is poised to launch into a real career, Elliott gives him the solid foundation he needs, and Leo provides the domination and structure he craves. Wherever the winds of fame take him, he’s secure in the knowledge that both his husband and his lover will be his wings.

Leo knows no one would look at his wheelchair and think “Dom,” but frankly, he doesn’t care. He survived the accident that paralyzed him, as well as a health crisis that almost killed him, and his reward is Luc, kneeling at his feet in complete devotion and perfect submission.

These three men have balanced work, home, love, and play in an open and consensual V-relationship for several years…until a single phone call rocks their world. Once the shock wears off, the new dynamic between them could destroy everything or build something stronger if they’re brave enough to take the chance.

Love Comes in Threes is an emotional, somewhat angsty MMM romance featuring a consensual V-relationship (i.e., no cheating), and an HEA for all three men. It contains a Dom on wheels, Really Big Floofy Dogs, and mouthwatering Greek pastries, as well as light kink and a D/s relationship.

Full Tilt, by Becca Seymour

Camden Crawford knows how to take a hit.

As the thirtysomething captain of the Exeter Seagulls, he’s built a career on strength, silence, and shielding his emotions as ruthlessly as he does his teammates. But when an injury rocks his team—and a series of frustrating media storms threaten to unravel his legacy—Cam finds himself one mistake away from losing everything he’s worked for. The last thing he needs is a distraction.

Enter Brent Parks: sunshine in tattooed skin, newly settled in Exeter, and a little too perceptive for Cam’s comfort.

Brent came to England chasing purpose. What he didn’t expect was a brooding rugby player with eyes like winter and walls like stone. But the chemistry? Immediate. Irresistible. And very, very mutual. Brent isn’t afraid to get under Camden’s skin—and he’s definitely not afraid to stay there.

When a one-time tattoo consult turns into stolen kisses, slow mornings, and a summer of something that feels a lot like more, both men are forced to face the truth: Falling for each other wasn’t in the game plan—and neither is what happens when the spotlight turns on their relationship.

With mounting pressure, cross-continental tours, and past insecurities clawing their way to the surface, Camden has to decide if love is a risk he’s finally ready to take. And Brent? He’s ready to prove that he’s not just a distraction—he’s the reason to stay.

A swoony, slow-burn MM sports romance full of banter, bruises, and unexpected tenderness. Featuring: grumpy/sunshine vibes, emotional intimacy, found family, a meddling little brother, and the hottest “oops, I sent you a sex tape by accident” moment in romance.

The Maestro’s Mates, by J.B. Warrick

One grumpy gargoyle. One hopeful vampire. One chaotic witch. Three fated mates face a looming threat.

Pavel has been called cranky, aloof, and an exacting musical genius, but what should people expect? He’s three thousand years old. He’ll soon be entering the final stage of a gargoyle’s life span, transforming into a statue and going dormant forever.

So why would the universe throw his mates at him now, when he has so little time left? He desperately wants to protect them, to guide them, but he’s terrified he’ll be a burden as he descends into oblivion.

Justin is working hard to overcome his anxiety and stay positive as he rebuilds after a disastrous few years. When he discovers his two fated mates at his new opera job, he rejects them out of hand. Sure, giving up control to these two men would fulfill every one of his fantasies, but love already screwed up his life once.

Sebastian is a witch with a rare affinity—chaos—and that quality follows him wherever he goes. His opera career is taking off, and finding his mates is just the cherry on the sundae! Even if they may not be ready for the power of his seductive, mischievous personality.

The three soon find that ignoring their connection is impossible, especially when they have to see each other every day. And they can’t escape each other when they’re trapped together in the opera house elevator.

But whatever headway they’ve made is arrested by the return of Sebastian’s power-hungry sister. Can the three fated mates accept their bond in time to survive her attack and save their new family?

The Maestro’s Mates is a 65,000-word poly (MMM), fated mates, vampire/gargoyle/witch romance with a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger. It contains a grumpy gargoyle, a chaotic witch, and the hopeful but self-doubting vampire that falls for them.

Free Fall, by Leta Blake

He climbs like he lives—reckless, relentless, and alone. Until Sejin.

Dan lives for danger, solitude, and the next impossible summit.
Emotions? Not part of the plan.
Relationships? Not even on the map.

But when Sejin stumbles into his life—steady, soft-hearted, and looking for something real—Dan starts craving a risk even greater than the next climb: connection.

Their chemistry is electric. Their nights are intense.
And love? That was never the goal.

But some falls—you don’t walk away from.

Paradox, by JJ Asher

I know now, for certain, that I’ve made a deal with The Devil. I’m just not sure yet if I’ve sold him my soul as well.

Jintae—nineteen, desperate, and done letting his parents script his life. His brilliant escape plan? Drop out of college and vanish into the wilderness, hiding in the off-grid cabin of his brother’s best friend until the storm blows over.
The problem? That best friend is running too.

Eden—thirty-four, newly single, and in no mood for company. Especially not the perfectionist teenager with too many brains, and too little sense, that’s always gotten under his skin.
He craves solitude.
Abandonment has hollowed him. Heartbreak has left him bitter and violent. So when Jintae shows up uninvited, he throws him out—until the kid begs. He offers himself up as a live-in servant, and Eden agrees… On brutal terms.

But what started as punishment soon turns into something Eden can’t name. Jintae challenges him, haunts him, tempts him. Under the fury is heat. And under the insults is a pull neither of them can outrun.

Snow traps them. Secrets rot between them. And the boy Eden swore to stay away from becomes the one thing he can’t stop craving.

Paradox is a slow burn, male/male romance full of angst, hatred, and a whole lot of tension. It stars a stubborn and sassy virgin MC, and a tattooed A-hole hell bent on making his life miserable. This is opposites attract and hate to lovers at its finest. There are also strong bully elements (with a dash of primal play and voyeurism), so there is a journey to the spice. But I can assure you, it’s well worth the wait. There is a method to my madness.

Brad & Finn, by D.C. Emerson

Finn
I wasn’t even supposed to be going to the reunion. Chloe needed help packing up her mom’s house, and I offered to go back to Gomillion with her, as any best friend would. That doesn’t mean I want to reunite with people I haven’t seen in over twenty years. I’m even less interested in socializing at the town bar, especially with the former captain of the football team, who I shared a kiss with at the end of senior year. There’s no way he’ll recognize me, and even if he does, I don’t know what he’d think of how much I’ve changed. I’m finally the man I’ve always known I was, but that’s not how Brad Willson used to know me.

Brad
Everything is finally coming together. I got the promotion I’ve been working towards for years, and I’m back in town to celebrate with all my high school buddies…except it’s been tough to keep up with everyone. My job runs me ragged, traveling from one end of the country to the other recruiting for college football. My hope is to one day become a coach, but part of me has started to wonder if all these lonely nights are worth it—and the gorgeous guy I ran into at the bar isn’t helping the matter. When it turns out he’s more than just a random guy, what does that mean for my new job and for me?

Brad & Finn is a second chance MM romance with trans masculine rep that takes place in the small town of Gomillion.

The Gomillion High Reunion series is a multi-author collaboration celebrating the 20th reunion of former classmates in a charming small town. From fake dating and long-held rivalries to first loves and second chances, anything can happen when the past and present collide. Don’t miss the reunion – RSVP today!

Interstellar Love Song, by C. Rochelle

Micah
If there’s one thing I can confirm, it’s that shacking up with a bodysnatching space mercenary has made life infinitely more exciting.

But now it’s time to get space married!

And… space mpregged?

Unfortunately for my end game plans, a looming threat is hanging over the universe, and I do mean looming over the entire universe—threatening us all.

It looks like Ziggy and I need to save the day again!

The issue is that this Big Bad always seems to be one step ahead, playing 6D chess while we scramble to set up the checkerboard, but as the professional problem-solver in my family, I’ve got this.

Because I’m a space wizard, baby, and I plan to marry—and mpreg—my man if it’s the last thing I do.

Ziggy
If there’s one thing I never expected to experience in my infinitely long life, it’s the love my incredibly impressive Earthling has shown me.

Love and family.

And the promise of our own family…

Unfortunately, I’ve been plagued with dreams I can’t seem to shake—terrifying nightmares of Stellaria falling to an unimaginably powerful force.

Of losing everyone I care about.

As Micah and I chase a deadly ghost across time and space, we discover everything is connected—more so than we thought. A single piece being eliminated from the board could affect countless planets in catastrophic ways.

It looks like my superpowered mate is the only one who can face off with this monster, but I refuse to sacrifice the man I love.

Not even to save the universe.

Interstellar Love Song is the FINAL book in the Villains in Space trilogy, and is an extra spicy, idiots-in-love tale, set in space with only one sleeping pod and an entire skinsuit closet full of alien accessories.

Cowboys Can’t Kiss, by R.M. Neill
Narrated by Nick J. Russo and B.J. Harrison

Riley Benton
Cowboys break hearts. It’s a known fact.

But my career as a romance planner has me moving back to my hometown of Kissing Ridge—a town so full of cowboys you can’t enter a room without bumping into a Stetson. And I don’t date cowboys. Not that it matters. I build romance for others… not myself.

There’s no way I’m falling for a steer wrestler with a sinful smile and awkward rambles. I’ve already had one cowboy break my heart. I don’t intend to make it two.

Jackson Sutherland
Riley Benton is all my daydreams brought to life.

And despite that fact, he doesn’t make me self-conscious when my mouth runs away with me and I blurt out random things. I’m pretty sure he thinks I’m cute, too.

We have a connection, and if he’d just let himself accept it and move past the friend zone, we could be beautiful together. But he’s more stubborn than a steer who hates the wash rack.

I’m used to working hard for what I want, but how do I convince him to risk his heart and kiss another cowboy?

Cowboys Can’t Kiss is book one in the Kissing Ridge Cowboys series. It features a hopelessly romantic yet awkward cowboy and a guarded former escort-turned-romance planner who thinks the friend zone will keep his heart safe. A friends-to-lovers story with a unique first “date” and all the found family you wish you had can be found in Kissing Ridge. Pass the hummus and remember to look up when the stars are out.

All set to have a show down, Owen gets some distressing news that throws his life into a tailspin.

Former Phoenix techie Jordan Thomas now works for Pegasus and that presents a whole lot of trouble in the form of one big sexy former soldier.

Tension is high and things get dicey, but one thing remains clear…
Mess with one and you mess with them all, Pegasus will do whatever it takes to protect their own.

Price of Victory, by Hayden Hall

He was my forbidden enemy. My darkest temptation. And the one person who could destroy everything I’ve built.

Rhett
Some rivalries run deeper than blood. Ours runs deeper than hate.

Aiden Whitmore was never supposed to be on my team. Not after what his family did to mine.

Not after the hostile takeover that nearly destroyed us.

But he’s here, skating circles around my defenses with that cocky smirk and those green eyes that see straight through me.

I should stay away. I should remember why I hate him.

Instead, I’m thinking about his hands on my skin and the way he looked at me in that library.

Enemies. Teammates. Obsessions.

This isn’t just about hockey anymore. And I’m about to lose the only game that matters.

Aiden
He wants me gone. I want him on his knees.

Rhett Morrison thinks he’s better than me. More honorable, more deserving, more everything.

He doesn’t know about the pressure crushing me from all sides. And he doesn’t want to bend.

But he will.

I see the way he watches me in the locker room.

I know how his body responds when I pin him against the wall.

He can hate my name all he wants. By the time I’m done with him, he’ll be moaning it.

Price of Victory is a hockey romance and the fifth and final book in The Saints of Westmont U series. It follows two enemies from rival families in a forced proximity teammates situation, family business warfare, and explosive hate-to-love chemistry. While each book can be read on its own, reading in order will be more fun.

Striking the Match, by Helen Juliet writing as HJ Welch

Love will save the day

TEDDY
Everybody has celebrity crushes, right? You just don’t expect to ever meet them. And even if you did, it’s not like they’d ever like you back—like me back, I mean. I have no idea how to be cool. I’m just the cute kid brother. Not only at home, but with my work family, too.

That all changes the day I run into football legend Cassius Garda. It doesn’t apparently matter that he’s a millionaire or that he’s fifteen years older than I am. It’s like suddenly someone sees me for me, and what’s even crazier is…I think he likes it. Likes me. But when disaster strikes, I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes to save us both.

CASSIUS
Ever since my football career was cut short from a shoulder injury, I’ve been struggling to find purpose again. It’s been nice to move back home to Redwood Bay, but it’s only when the most adorable little firefighter bursts into my life do things start making sense again. Luckily, I’m privileged enough to already be out of the closet. That means if sweet Teddy Foster can get over his hero worship, we might just have a shot at something meaningful.

However, when we find ourselves stranded, alone, and fighting for our lives, I hope he finally understands that he’s the real hero of us both.

Striking the Match is a red-hot, standalone MM romance. It’s the third book in the found family Redwood Bay Fire series. Join the members of the One-Thirteen house as the heat turns up and they find true love! This book features a baby-faced boy realizing he’s already a man, an evil cat that just wants to be loved, huddling together for warmth (as well as other naughty things), and a guaranteed HEA with absolutely no cliffhanger.

Feeding the Grump, by Jax Calder

I’m fairly sure that when I’m on my deathbed, I’ll still be cursing Benji Gange’s name.

My neighbor paints his gate purple. His experiments with organic farming drift onto my land. He feeds me casseroles while we argue about everything from water rights to rugby selections. For five years, I’ve told myself he’s the worst thing to happen to farming since foot rot.

Then my orphan lamb escapes, and we end up tangled in a hedge together (don’t ask), spying on something that turns my whole world upside down. Suddenly, I realize that all the vegetables I leave on his doorstep and the casseroles he makes me might not be just neighborly gestures. And maybe the way my pulse races during our arguments isn’t about the disputed thistle paddock at all.

Is it possible that the biggest thorn in my side is exactly what I’ve been missing all along?

Feeding the Grump is a 16,000 word enemies to lovers novella that features a grumpy farmer and his sunshine neighbor. It was first published in May 2025 as part of a charity anthology and no additional material has been added.

When Dominic Miller gets the opportunity to run Dauntless Island’s first police station, he jumps at the chance.

Especially when Natty might have an illegal side gig going on.

It’s lucky Natty is descended from mutineers, because he and Dominic are about to break all the rules on Dauntless Island.

Lawless contains a bemused copper who wants to make friends, a Dauntless Islander who wants to get laid, an angry brother, a useless cousin, an actual emergency, and a sea cave. And also a cat called Frank.
