Here's my candidate for the week:

In the Middle of Somewhere by Roan Parrish
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press (July 10th, 2015)
Series: In the Middle of Somewhere, 1
Genre: M/M Contemporary

DANIEL MULLIGAN is tough, snarky, and tattooed, hiding his self-consciousness behind sarcasm. Daniel has never fit in—not at home with his auto mechanic father and brothers, and not at school where his Ivy League classmates look down on him. Now, Daniel’s relieved to have a job at a small college in Northern Michigan, but, a city boy through and through, when Daniel arrives in Holiday, Michigan, it’s clear that this small town is one more place he just won’t fit in.

REX VALE clings to routine to keep loneliness at bay: honing his large, muscular body until it can handle anything, perfecting his recipes, and making custom furniture. Rex has lived in Holiday for years, but his shyness and imposing size have kept him from connecting with people. Though he loves the quiet and solitude of his little cabin in the woods, Rex can’t help but want someone to share it with.

When Daniel arrives in Holiday, they are smitten with each other, but though the sex is intense and explosive, Rex fears that Daniel will be one more in a long line of people to leave him, and Daniel has learned that letting anyone in could be a fatal weakness. Just as they begin to break down the walls that have been keeping them apart, Daniel is called home to Philadelphia where a secret is revealed that changes the way he understands everything.

Can a scrappy professor, an intense carpenter, and a stray dog make a go of it in their cabin in the woods? Sometimes, you have to go to the middle of nowhere to end up exactly where you want to be

There's just something about the pose for the two men. Plus the lovely winter view below. And the blurb has my attention, too. 





Kame's Pick:

Sweet as Sin by J.T. Geissinger
Publisher: Montlake Romance (July 14, 2015)
Series: Bad Habit, 1
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Twentysomething Kat Reid is loving life as an in-demand Hollywood makeup artist. She has absolutely no interest in rock ’n’ roll, but in order to pay the mortgage, she agrees to work on the set of a rock video for the world-famous rockers known as Bad Habit…which brings her face-to-face with Nico Nyx, lead singer of Bad Habit and Adonis in the flesh.

However, the fiercely independent Kat isn’t impressed by the hard-living, womanizing rock star. But when Nico’s model girlfriend shows up to the set drunk and Kat is tapped to replace her as the video’s sexy bride, her combustible chemistry with Nico suddenly threatens to consume the set. Nico feels it, too—and becomes determined to win Kat over, body and soul. Yet behind his rock god swagger, Nico hides a dark secret. Can he rock Kat’s world forever, or will he just break her heart?

Pat's Pick:

A Buckhorn Summer by Lori Foster
Publisher: HQN Books (June 2, 2015)
Series: Buckhorn Brothers, 8
Genre: Contemporary Romance

In a sexy new Buckhorn Brothers novella, New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster welcomes readers back to the small town that’s big on romance…

Lisa Sommerville’s wild one-night-stand was completely out of character for the workaholic businesswoman. So when she arrives in Buckhorn, Kentucky to spend a summer rethinking her career, she’s stunned to find that Gray Neely has stepped out of her steamy memories and taken up residence in her hometown. What’s more, the laid-back ex-cop wants to pick up where they left off.

Lisa has been on Gray’s mind every day since that mind-blowing encounter. He was reeling from a tragedy in the line of duty, and their connection was instant and intense. Still is. But sleepy Buckhorn is a million miles from her corporate world. And he has one sweet, hot summer to prove they have a future there, together…

I really do love the cover of Sweet as Sin, and I do love those rocker romances. It sounds like it would be a entertaining story. Hope you have been enjoying your weekend and the nice warm weather.

I like the pose of guys and scenery on the first cover, too. Guy and guitar are always a hit. And so true, Pat, that guy in his shirt is very appealing.

Lori Foster always finds manly men that aren't on other covers! All of these covers are great & I am intrigued by the blurbs, too!

Red Iza said...

Love that first cover - cold below but hot on top ! And I read Geissinger's book last month, loved it ! I must say that cover was an element of my requesting it from Netgalley ^^ I also love the last cover, it looks simple and boy-next-door (man next door, rather). Great choices as usual, ladies !

Wickedly Delicious said...

The_Book_Queen said...
