Description from the publisher:
Thomas Walsh knows the number one rule in the film industry. Don't get involved with the talent. But resisting the urge to take the big screen to the bedroom can be hell when the lead actor on the set looks good enough to eat...one slow lick at a time.

Peter Erickson's latest role as a gay man hits a little too close to home. He's still in the closet and secretly grieving the death of his lover. Then an enchanting production assistant catches his eye, and he's surprised by the instant attraction that stirs more than his wounded soul.

When the two men are caught on camera in a very intimate pose, both Thomas and Peter are afraid they've caught a tiger by the tail.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CATCH A TIGER BY THE TAIL is the tenth release in the multi-author One Scoop or Two series.  Each is a stand-alone romance of different genres.  This one is a contemporary LGBTQ romance.  The one common factor is a love of ice cream.  Have you ever heard of Tiger Tail flavor?  Me either!  But now I’m curious.
 
This is a sweet, love-at-first-sight, age-gap romance and it’s beautifully written. I loved the fun and flirty nature of the entire story.

Description from the publisher:
It's all fun in the sun until other reapers start to die...

Tessa Randolph is a reaper, one of the few endowed with the abilities of the real grim reaper. And now, she's been offered a spot to attend the annual reaper conference in Miami.

But things get off to a rocky start when another reaper dies on the plane there. And none of the other reapers saw his soul depart for the hereafter.

Tessa takes it upon herself to figure out why.

But as the killer takes more reaper souls, it puts a target on Tessa's back.

Can she leave the conference with her soul intact? Find out today! Buy The Scythe's Secrets, book two in the Tessa Randolph Cozy Mysteries.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE SCYTHE’S SECRETS is the second book in the Tessa Randolph Cozy Mystery series.  Though each story will stand on its own, I recommend reading them all and in the order of release for maximum enjoyment.
 
If you think your boss is a pain in the butt, try Tessa’s momster!  Like really, her mom is not only her boss, but also a grim reaper.  Talk about pressure!  Of course, they can’t disclose that’s what they’re doing, so the office has to pretend to be a boring life-insurance company.
 
Great characters and a unique storyline with a bit of romance stirred into the intrigue make for a fun and fantastic read that kept me glued to my kindle. 
 
I’ve loved these stories so far, and I look forward to reading more in this wonderful series.

Description from the publisher:
Fox shifter River Radcliffe was trapped in a hyena compound until she was rescued a few years ago. After being returned to her grandparents, she finds a new life with her Border Collie Boo. Determined to move on, River signs up to intern at the Wilde Ranch in Colorado. 

Wolf twins Cal and Cash Wilde are known as trouble makers. Stuck with babysitting the interns, they almost miss the notification telling them their mate has been found. When there is a strange glitch on the dating app, they have no idea who they've been matched with.  

When River arrives at the Wilde Ranch and realizes she really has been matched with both twins, she has no idea how to deal her predicament.  She wants to reject them both. 

But soon the three shifters come to a compromise: River will date both twins until she decides which one she wants. 

Will River find a way to let a man into her heart after everything she's been through? And how will the twins preserve their bond if one of them is left without a mate forever? 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TWIN WOLVES is the fourth book in the Wilde Brothers Ranch series.  Each book will stand on its own, but for maximum enjoyment read the entire series and in the order of release.
 
Usually when an author writes a thruple arc, the two men know in advance that they are meant to share a mate.  Not always, but usually.  This was a fun way to find out that this relationship was to be built…. To see them all fighting it and eventually accepting their new reality.  The fate that will complete them is steamy, sigh-worthy, and – for River  healing.
 
An absolutely wonderful happily ever after in the end.
