Three sexy, successful, dominant, sweet, sexy men… Color her skeptical, but Lucy would never have thought that a one-night stand with a stripper and a bartender would ever amount to more than a really great birthday memory.

Summer Lovin' LGBTQ Showcase: Day 2
Welcome to Day 2 of
Summer Lovin' LGBTQ Showcase
When Inner Goddess first came online, we attended a book convention hosted by Siren/Bookstrand. I was circulating, getting to know many of the authors. Half of the authors present wrote LGBTQ, and that was 4 years ago! In fact a few of those authors are in this year's showcase!!! So the genre is going strong. I still remember an author answering my question: If you are not gay, why write gay romance? She talked about how there were more options for conflict, more complex scenarios. Backstories had more variety, and in the end, the romance became more committed. Basically, all the elements that we love about the romance genre are heightened in a gay romance storyline.
And she's right. We all love the idea of love at first sight, but throw in the hidden obstacles of society's, and often the very individual's own psyche's, approval, and you have a bubbling cauldron of angst that must be overcome. In a way, the individuals are stripped to an even greater level of intimacy with the reader.
Check out these awesome titles, and come back each day for more in our showcase and to see what each author is giving away.

Grand Opening
Kiss of
Leather 4
by Morticia Knight
a BDSM Romance MM
The men of Kiss of Leather
celebrate a beginning, but will the price be another ending?
The grand opening of Kiss of Leather draws near
and the pressure is on to make sure everything is completed for the big night.
Master Josh is a perfectionist, so no detail is too small in order to enhance
the quality of the prestigious club they’ve all worked so tirelessly on.
Unfortunately, the endless demands on Josh’s time have caused him to forget the
more important things in life.
David’s love for Master Josh is strong, but
lately, that love has been constantly tested. How can a sub in a full-time D/s
relationship serve a Master who’s never there? As things continue to
deteriorate between him and Josh, David wonders if maybe his Master has tired
of having to care for a sub 24/7.
By the time the grand opening arrives, Josh and
David seem to have worked out their differences and David is hopeful for their
future. The emotional collaring ceremony between Gavin and Kyle is a beautiful testament
to the power of love. But when an unexpected party crasher intrudes on the
evening’s festivities, the men are reminded that there are still too many
unanswered questions related to Corey’s kidnapping.
More than ever, the men of Kiss of Leather need to
stand united. Will Josh and David be able to do the same?

My Zombie Fiancé
The Undead Canadian #2
by T. Strange
a Paranormal Romance MM
Edward Grey is no stranger to the undead; since raising his cat as a zombie when he was a child, he and his mentor Mariel have explored and developed his power as a necromancer. Despite everything he's learned, as a necromancer and a medical student, he's never encountered a ghost.
While Mariel is unreachable in Haiti on mysterious business, a ghost wakes Edward in the middle of the night, claiming to be his grandfather. When the ghost offers to teach him about this different form of undeath, Edward has little choice but to trust the spirit.
After receiving a phone call from a young girl claiming her father is possessed, Edward and his Undead Canadian fiancé, Kit, must travel to an acreage in Kingston…Ontario.
The haunting proves far more complicated than Edward could ever have guessed, and he finds himself pitted against an ancient evil determined to engulf everyone on the farm.
Edward's love and connection to Kit will be tested, and his necromancy stretched to his limits as he has to find—and destroy—a twisted spirit more powerful than anything he's ever encountered.

Point Shot Trilogy
by VL Locey
a Hockey Sports Romance MM
Victor Kalinski, all-star forward for the Boston Barracudas, is one of the biggest jerks in professional hockey. Before long his aggressive attitude gets him shipped off to play in the minor leagues.
Furious, he takes to the ice with equal amounts of skill and scathing sarcasm, which doesn’t win him any friends—except for good-natured team captain Daniel Arou. He won’t take any of Vic’s crap, and he won’t take no for an answer.
But Vic’s troublemaking is pulling his career one way while Dan’s talent is pushing his in the other. However much they scorch the sheets, they might soon be separated by more than Vic’s fear of being hurt.
https://www.amazon.com/V.L.-Locey/e/B00DUINCM2/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1
Game MisconductThis book is a sequel to Two Man Advantage
Life has been treating Victor Kalinski well, which is a surprise for the ginger-haired forward with the venomous tongue. His career is somewhat stable, at least for another season. His relationship with Cougars alternate captain Dan Arou is deepening, despite the fact that Daniel has yet to come out of the closet.
It’s typical Kalinski luck when a puck bunny he shared a drunken night with several months ago slaps him with a paternity suit. Despite the sizzling passion and painfully heartfelt connection between them, Dan doesn’t take the news well, and heads back to Canada alone.
If he wants to make things right and win back the man he loves, Vic has no choice but to swallow his pride—and nobody’s prouder than hotheaded, ego-driven Victor Kalinski.
Reader Advisory: This story has graphic sexual language and scenes—no closed bedroom doors (or other rooms) here!
What a difference a year makes. Twelve months ago, Victor Kalinski was one of the best and most controversial ice hockey players in the pros. This year he’s playing in the minors, has a paternity case pending, and has just been vindictively outed to the world by one of his own teammates.
But he seems to find life in the tiny town of Cayuga to his liking. A large part of that is Dan Arou, the Cougars’ alternate captain and the man who now holds Victor’s heart. Surely venomous, viper-tongued Victor hasn’t been mellowed by love!
Well, perhaps a little. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t intend to get sweet revenge on those who’ve hurt the man he loves and the friends he’s somehow made along the way.

Theirs to Love
Theirs to Love
Eternity Series 2
by Erika Reed
a Paranormal Menage Romance MFM
Can be read as a stand-alone
Danielle Olsen knew that in her line of work as a paramedic, losing a life came with the job. But no one ever prepared her for what it felt like to lose one of her own mates she was about to marry. At the worst time in her life she pushed everyone she loved away, including her mate’s twin brother Mason.
Like Danielle, Sheriff Mason Gray mourned the loss of his twin brother. He allowed her the space she needed to heal her broken heart, but his patience had worn thin and the time had come for him to claim his mate once again. He wasn’t sure how to help her move on, until Mason’s cousin Shane returned to Eternity after a tragic accident that left him scarred for life. Shane had always had a thing for Danielle, until now he never had the opportunity to act on his desire for her. Now that Shane was back in town, their little sexy vixen didn’t stand a chance at escaping what Mason and Shane had planned for her once they had her all to themselves.
No one ever said living in the quiet bear-shifting town of Eternity was anything but ordinary, especially when two determined alpha men always get what they want.

Heather Rainier blog take-over: interviews, excerpts, sales & a FREE novella
How Cassie Got Her Grind Back
a Divine Creek Ranch novel
by Heather Rainier
How Cassie Got Her Grind Back can be pre-ordered now!
Book Blurb:
Cassie Villalobos promised Samson and Ivan Cutter on the day
they graduated high school that she would pursue her dreams of becoming a
singer-songwriter, no matter what.
Raised under the dictatorial thumb of her father, Cassie’s
promise went unfulfilled. Newly single, her hands are full running her coffee
shop, Divine Drip, and dealing with her aging parents, and lothario ex-husband.
Samson and Ivan left Divine after graduation, never intending to
return, but they’ve never forgotten their love for Cassie.
Banked embers flare between the three at their thirty year class
reunion. Although she has friends in ménages, Cassie is intimidated by the
desire of two men, believing she is past her prime and the men set out to
change her mind.
Samson’s passion for sadism is balanced by Ivan’s easy
affection, and Cassie finds the combination irresistible. Hope flares for
fulfilling all her dreams while stirring the distorted illusions of someone
obsessed with controlling her.
Read further for an interview with Samson and Ivan, plus an Excerpt from How Cassie Got Her Grove Back...But first, Heather has more books releasing!!!!

http://www.bookstrand.com/
Blurb:
Another exciting offering coming May 6th for lovers of the
series and readers who would like an overview of each book, PLUS there's a
novella, AND it's FREE!
Dive into the iconic world of Heather Rainier’s Divine Creek
Ranch and explore the inspirations for the series.
The guide gives an overview of each book, offers Heather’s
insights into her writing, character summaries, music playlists, and her
favorite excerpts from each book. It also features an original Divine Creek
Ranch ménage novella entitled Divine Déjà Vu, which is available only with the
guide.
In Divine Déjà Vu, LuAnn and Maynard have moved on from their
dramatic first encounter in Divine Phoenix. Eight months along in their
relationship, Mayn returns home with an unexpected guest. LuAnn’s introduction
to Mayn’s brother Daniel is eerily similar to her first meeting with Mayn. As
they overcome embarrassing circumstances to explore the undeniable pull LuAnn
feels for both brothers, can she deal with the prospect of another long
distance relationship?
Box Set:
Divine Grace, Her Gentle Giant (Parts 1 & 2),
Heavenly Angel
Blurb:
More excitement coming on May 6th! Siren-BookStrand is releasing
the Divine Creek Ranch Collection boxed set, Volume One for $4.99. All three
stories bundled together at a fantastic price for 500,000+ words...
In Divine Grace, with the help of three gorgeous men Grace is
able to free herself from an abusive boyfriend. Jack, Ethan, and Adam know they
have found the one woman they want to pleasure and protect, but the real
difficulty comes in convincing her that their interest is in far more than just
a fling. For them, this is forever.
In Her Gentle Giant, Part 1: No Regrets, Eli Wolf, a cross
between Viking and Indian warrior, has found in Rachel Lopez someone infinitely
more compelling than the women who flock to him nightly as security at The
Dancing Pony Nightclub. When Rachel’s apartment burns down, Eli invites her to
stay with him and begins the work of overcoming Rachel’s jealous nature, the
one thing that could keep them apart.
In Her Gentle Giant, Part 2: Remember to Dance, as Rachel and
Eli prepare for a future together, painful memories surface from Rachel’s past.
Though she protests to be unaffected by them, Eli is not so fast to forgive. He
recruits the men of Divine Creek Ranch in his effort to correct the offense.
Rachel confronts a test of her own as she decides once and for all whether her
trust in Eli is absolute.
In Heavenly Angel, Angel Martinez spends months patiently
coaxing the beautiful Teresa out of her self-imposed shell. Teresa has left a
painful past behind in order to begin a new life for her and her son. She cares
deeply for the Divine Creek Ranch foreman but, just as she is ready to let her
guard down, the arrival of Joaquin, Angel’s brother, throws her for a loop. Now
her efforts of moving on are doubly tested as she considers the alluring
possibility of having both the heavenly Angel and the devilish Joaquin.

Interview with
Samson
What is your most
cherished possession? By this question I assume you mean inanimate objects. I try
not to get too hung up on possessions but if pressed I’d have to say my impact
toy collection, mainly whips that I’m especially fond of using, and my book
collection.
How do you feel
about being the center of attention? I don’t mind it. I like being in a
leadership role which often means having eyes on me. At the club, I don’t
generally notice, especially during scenes. My focus needs to remain on whoever
I’m working with. I take that responsibility seriously.
What makes you
blush? Compliments…and questions about what kind of underwear I
prefer to wear.
What makes you
laugh out loud? The stuff Bunny says to Joseph at Hazelle House just to see
how he reacts, usually with a ball gag and a paddle…or orgasm torture if she’s
especially naughty.
How do you feel,
generally, about the opposite sex? Unworthy, and I mean that in
the larger sense and not as a lack on my part. I grew up with loving parents
and in general I love the fairer sex. I think they’re stronger than men in
almost every way except for possibly the physical sense…but then I think of
them giving birth and yeah, nope. They’re stronger all the way around.
What is your
worst habit? Not going to the gym more. And maybe cussing.
Do you have any
irrational fears or phobias? Heights really bug me.
How do you think
your exes would describe you? Distant, maybe? I think in
the back of my mind I was holding out because no one compared to Cassie.
How deeply does
your job / social role define you as a person? To a high
degree. I like being in a position of leadership and direction, whether it’s on
the job or at the BDSM club. People rely on me and I enjoy that role
What are you the
most hopeless at? Small talk. I hate wasting time with chit-chat. I prefer
action to talking.
What would you
never do, no matter the price? Cheat in a committed
relationship. In my line of work in both the military and as a police officer
I’ve seen a lot of it, as well as the consequences and the collateral damage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ivan Cutter, late 40s
Occupation: Executive Chef
at Hermione in Morehead, Texas. He had dreams of attending college on a
football scholarship but those were dashed when he was injured his senior year.
His knee injury also kept him from his Plan B which was to serve in the Army
along with Samson so he went to school and became a chef. He worked for Texas’
most mercurial and demanding restaurateur, Hermione Jones, creating great
meals, feeding lots of people, and enjoying life…and then a gorgeous brunette
from his past came back into his life.
Ivan’s Favorites:
Food: Any kind of
food if it’s well prepared. I have a special place in his heart for a good
spicy shrimp/crab/crawfish boil eaten outdoors with an ice cold beer.
Color: Green and blue
Book: Harry Potter,
Lord of the Rings, and sci-fi fantasy graphic novels. Oh, and Shakespeare.
Movie: See up above
translated into movie form.
All-time Favorite
Singer: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Song: I love too many
songs to have a favorite. Top three: “Pride and Joy” by Stevie Ray Vaughan;
“Stuck On You” by Sugarland; and “When a Man Loves a Woman” by Percy Sledge.
Quote: “If you can’t
stand the heat get out of the kitchen,” from Harry Truman, and from
Shakespeare, “When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.”
I always thought that last one was pretty romantic.
TV Show: I work so many
nights I don’t have any favorite television shows, although I was a big fan of
“Dirty Jobs” and “Friends” which I can usually find late night on reruns
somewhere on satellite.
Holiday: Christmas
Sport: Football. Oh,
and the Dallas Cowboys SUCK! *cough*So does Samson*cough*
Which Do You
Prefer?
Pepsi or Coke: Cherry Coke
with real cherries, not the bottled stuff.
Boxers or Briefs: Cotton knit
briefs. Gotta be cotton because the kitchen gets hot and I wouldn’t want a heat
rash, ya know.
Die Hard or
Terminator: Die Hard, of course! “Yippee-Ki-Yay, Motherfucker!”
Ford or Chevy: Fords Rule! (I
said that just to piss Samson off. *cough*Chevy’s suck!*cough*
Steak or Chicken: Either if it’s
cooked right.
Star Wars or Star
Trek: Star Wars
Beer or Wine: Wine
What is your most
cherished possession? My knife collection and my cookbook collection.
How do you feel
about being the center of attention? Love it!
What makes you
blush? Nothing, honey. That’s just the heat from my Viking stove.
How do you feel,
generally, about the opposite sex? Love them. LOVE THEM.
Especially this gorgeous brunette I knew in high school. Man, she was an angel.
Too bad she wound up with a total dickhead who didn’t deserve to kiss the soles
of her feet.
What is your
worst habit? I’m bad about forgetting to return calls. I tend to
procrastinate. Oh, and I suck at parking.
Do you have any
irrational fears or phobias? Clothes shopping.
How do you think
your exes would describe you? Too committed to my career
and the long hours restaurants keep. And when I’m not cooking I’m talking about
cooking…or thinking about cooking.
How deeply does
your job / social role define you as a person? Deeply. I
want to feed everyone. It’s genetic. My mom is the same way.
What’s your
favorite smell? Remember that brunette I mentioned earlier? She owns a
coffee shop and bakery in Divine, and a friend of mine brought me one of her
fancy cupcakes in a gift box. I opened that box and this heavenly aroma of
vanilla bean, hazelnut, and some exotic spice... My mouth is watering just
thinking about it. Now I associate that smell with my memories of her.
What are you the
most hopeless at? Understanding women. I think I need a woman who likes to
cook as much as I do and then we might understand each other.
What would you
never do, no matter the price? Bungee jumping. And cheating
in a relationship. Never gonna happen, either one.

Excerpt from How Cassie Got Her Grind Back:
“Whatever you do, Samson, don’t give her the
steely-eyed dominant stare. And what are you? A nervous thirteen-year-old girl
calling her BFF for pointers on how to act around the boy she likes?”
Samson had called Ivan while waiting for
Joseph and Bunny’s wedding to get started to let him know Cassie was in
attendance. Samson watched as the woman of their dreams entered the hallway
outside the suite Bunny had been holed up in for the last two hours.
Samson scowled at his phone and then put it
back to his ear. Chuckling silently, Jack Warner looked over at him and lifted
his chin inquiringly at the phone. Samson shook his head and looked down at the
floor. “Lower your voice, man. I just wanted you to know she was here. I guess
she’s one of Bunny’s bridesmaids or attendants. I didn’t know they were that
close. Shit.” He wasn’t smooth like his brother, and the first thing he’d
thought when he’d laid eyes on her was to call Ivan.
“When you get a chance, just slide on up to
her and start a conversation with her. Don’t give her the stare.”
“What stare?”
“The one you give people who you want to do
your bidding. Probably the same one you use when you want to beat on one of
your poor masochists.”
“They’re not my ‘poor masochists,’ fucker,” he
ground out as he walked a short distance down the hallway. “I only give them
what they need, and I would think you’d know that by now since you know how to
use Google. I’m not a monster.” Jack snorted in amusement and Samson stepped
farther down the hall.
Ivan’s chuckle on the other end made him grind
his teeth. “No, you’re a big squeez-y teddy bear. You got all that growling out
of your system now? Take a deep breath and…just smile at her. Offer to get her
a glass of champagne. Dance with her. Don’t say anything about the past, and
for fuck’s sake, don’t tell her you like to spank naughty girls.”
Samson grinned, imaging for a split second how
her lush bare butt cheek would feel under his hand. “At least not yet.”
“Just never in front of me, okay?”
“She’s in a mansion housing a BDSM club, and
she’s friends with several subs. I think they’ve talked. So it shouldn’t come
as any big surprise to her. Fine, I won’t say anything about my sadistic
tendencies, okay?”
“And I wouldn’t say anything about attending the
class reunion. Just let her be surprised.”
“I wasn’t going to since you need to be with
us before I say anything about…you know.”
“Right. So just establish you’re the nice guy
she remembers and you’re still single. And try not to give her the impression
she’s in your sights.”
“Our sights.”
“Whatever. I’m not getting my hopes up until I
get a green light from her. I have to go. My ganache is thickening.”
Gazing at her delicious form from the rear, he
admired the sensual sway of her hips and the graceful curve of her bare back
and neck as she moved past a window. “That’s not the only thing thickening.
Later.”
“Pervert.”
