Sweet & Spicy Gay Romance Deals for August 17, 2023

I’m Devin and I’m tired of being a virgin and hiding my gender fluidity for my religion. At karaoke, I’m asked to audition for a pop-punk band. Then this hot guy shows up at the bakery where I work. Brandon wants connection before he’ll show me all his dirty secrets. When my fragile world crashes around me, will Brandon help me pick up the pieces?

My band, Knot Me, is in serious need of a better front man and the band has decided to scope out karaoke bars until we find one. But before I go out, I need a fix. My older brother’s best friend, Remy, is always on my mind and the only way to forget him is to find a lookalike hookup. But when Remy needs help with a class, it’s time for me to make some serious decisions.

This short story is part of the Rock U series. It takes place before the first book (On a Different Mission).

This is the story of how Axel finds Devin, his new front man, and an introduction into the characters in the band.

It all started with a pink slip...

Omega bunny shifter Wayne was living the corporate dream. That was until his company decided to close his entire division. Living near his fluffle has always been top priority for Wayne, but when the best job he can find locally doesn’t even pay his rent, he has no choice but to widen his search area. He doesn’t expect to have his best and only job offer to be halfway across the country in the middle of the desert.

It all started with Pants on Fire going up in flames...

Alpha lion shifter Bruce travels for his job doing lights and sound for Pants on Fire, the all-dragon band. When three of the bandmates find their fated mates during a gig at Animals, they break up to live their happily ever after. His severance is great, but he needs to find a new gig, one that includes being surrounded by strong shifters and helping keep his lion at bay. Until he finds one, he’s offered a temporary position at Animals, a job that comes complete with an apartment.

One night at work, his lion pushes hard, Bruce only getting outside seconds before he shifts. Bruce is afraid he’s finally lost all control of his beast, and maybe he has, but then an adorable bunny hops over to him, and his entire world changes.

Years of relocating without putting down roots have left Daniel Houseworth filled with anxiety, as change piled on change. Finally buying a home, he wants a settled life, one he can count on. The tall, broad, and strong man across the street catches his eye. But to Daniel, Stanley is the epitome of intimidating - just what he doesn’t need, regardless of how scorching hot he may be.

Nonprofit economic development specialist Stanley Jackson knows he can be unapproachable, with his wide build, tattooed arms, close-cropped hair, and dark eyes. He’s noticed his intriguingly endearing new neighbor, Daniel, and the way he avoids him. But when Daniel brings home a lost kid goat, Stanley cautiously approaches him and offers help to find Delia a proper home.

Daniel quickly comes to care for his charge and does his best to put his anxiousness aside for her sake. As Daniel gets to know Stanley’s heart, the once intimidating qualities shift to intense attraction. But just as Daniel begins to let his guard down and trust that hunky Stanley could feel the same about him, Stanley is presented with a job offer that could stop their budding relationship in its tracks.

It was supposed to be a random hookup.

At a crossroads, my life a hot mess, I swiped right on the guy with the washboard abs and the tree-trunk thighs. His handle was Holt (yeah, really) but as soon as he opened the door, I recognized him: Hudson Grey, the hottest prospect in pro-hockey and apparently, secretly playing for my team. Not mind-blowing enough? He needed someone to punch his V-card, and I was only too happy to volunteer as tribute...

Then he ghosted me when it got to be too much.

A year later, my life is back on track and I’m a candidate firefighter at legendary Engine 6. While I might be new to the Chicago Fire Department, I’m a veteran in the game of steamy hookups. My No. 1 rule? No newbies. Except now Hudson has been traded to my hometown team, the Chicago Rebels, and he’s out, proud, and ready to date. And he wants my help introducing him to the local gay scene.

My messy past means I’m the worst guy to be mentoring the shy, sexy jock. But neither can I stand by and watch while others touch the man who already feels like mine.

When a job in San Diego opens up, he hops at the opportunity.

Alpha wolf shifter Ren misses his pack. But when the alpha tells you to skedaddle, you skedaddle. Unsure what to do next, he calls his cousin who offers him a place to stay and a job at the club his mate runs. Not what Ren sees for his long-term future, but it offers a chance to regroup, and he happily agrees.

Omega kangaroo shifter Skip loves his new job at Animals. The people are super nice, and it gives him a place to shift.
