Favorite Gay Fiction by Viki Lyn


Louisa, thank you for letting me post on your blog today. For those readers that are not familiar with my work, I write male/male romance. I just had my 12th book published since writing m/m back in 2009. Before that I wrote historical romances but switched genres when I needed a fresh start.

Why male/male? Because it’s been one of my favorite genres to read.


There are all types of wonderful gay fiction from murder mysteries to westerns and everything in between. I have some favorites that are keepers. I read them when I want to be immersed in a story with characters I care about. Here’s a short list of very diverse books, including Japanese yaoi or Boy’s Love comics.

Snowball in Hell by Josh Lanyon. I love the 1940’s setting and the mystery set in Los Angeles. Also the troubled reporter fighting his demons and falling in love. I’m hoping for a sequel someday soon.
The Broken Road by Sean Michael. Best friends discover that sometimes there’s no place like home and in the arms of the person who knows and loves you best.

Wicked Gentleman by Ginn Hale. This is a wickedly wonderful gothic fairy tale and I’m jealous I didn’t write it!

Longhorns by Victor J. Banis. Old fashion western featuring a handsome young drifter that catches the eye of one tough cowboy.

The God Box by Alex Sanchez. Coming out story. The young man must come to terms with his sexual orientation, religion and his belief in God.

Yaoi:

Future Lovers by Saika Kunieda – Mismatched lovers in a hilarious but heartfelt romance.
Kizuna by Kazuma Kodaka. A classic yaoi of best friends in love.
Butterfly of a Distant Day by Tooko Miyagi. This is a tale of second chance at love.
Shout Out Loud by Satosumi Takaguchi. It’s about a father and son and a cast of voice actors, a five volume series that is entertaining up to the final page.

This is a partial list and it’s always evolving and changing. If you’ve never tried m/m before, take a chance on one of these great books!

Happy Reading!

For archangel Razi-el, he had no choice. He would break God’s commandment again if it were to save Uri-el from a demon’s talons. Yet even God’s most trusted archangel cannot avoid punishment. No longer Razi-el, he is now Izar, a Protector sworn to kill for the angels.

When a Protector kills an angel, Izar is summoned to work alongside Uri-el to capture the killer. Izar is shocked when his bloodlust spikes hot for the archangel. He knows better than to go after forbidden fruit. Refusing to give in to temptation, he ignores his body’s tempestuous arousal for Uri-el until a heated argument turns his blood into molten lust.

As they rush to find the killer, their passion plays into the demon’s plan. Izar will have to make a choice between life and death if he is to save Uri-el again.

The Fate of Tallulah Grace



Tallulah will be awarding winner's choice of a backlist eBook to a randomly drawn commenter at every stop.


Fate: Timeless Trilogy, Book 1
by Tallulah Grace

Death stalks Kris in dreams and in reality. The target of a cunning serial killer, Kris must defend her life and her love. Visions prepare her for what’s coming, but is knowledge enough to change the future? Or will demented mania claim victory over fated love?

The good things in life are coming together for Kristina Collins. She’s found her ideal home, her career is on track for mega success and the man of her dreams has finally come back into her life.

In Fate, the first installment of the Timeless Trilogy, Kris Collins discovers the benefits and risks of having precognitive visions while being stalked by a serial killer. Her friends can’t help her, the FBI can’t save her; she must save herself.

The Timeless Trilogy heroines, Kristina, Veronica and Cassandra, each deal with paranormal abilities as they discover and rediscover eternal love.

Excerpt:

“Thanks. Do you live there with your husband?”

  
“No, it’s just me and Peg, um, Pegasus. My cat. Who is probably trying to dig his way into the pantry, looking for dinner.” Kris smiled and started to back down the stairs.  “Welcome to the neighborhood, I’m sure you’ll love it here. I have to go now, see you around.” The very last thing Kris wanted was to run into Marla. Seeing Nick was bad enough, but she had to get her act together before making nice with the wicked witch.
   
“Wait,” Nick didn’t want to let her go. The woman had stomped on his heart, crumpled him up and threw him away, but that didn’t seem to matter at the moment. “Would you like to have dinner? We could catch up.”
  
Kris felt like a deer in headlights. Her body and soul screamed ‘YES’ but her mind knew better. “Thanks, but maybe some other time. I’m really beat tonight.” Two more steps, keep moving, she thought.
    
“Tomorrow night?” Nick was determined not to take no for an answer. “I’ll cook.  Is seven okay? Pegasus is invited too.” Nick gave her one of his most charming smiles; at least he hoped it was charming.
    
Kris opened her mouth to say ‘No thanks’, but she heard the words “I’d love to” escape her traitorous lips. She had never been able to resist this man. Not from the first time she saw him walking out of the library at school. Tall with broad shoulders, he was one of the only men she had met who made her feel petite, which she definitely was not. His thick, wavy hair—so black it was almost blue—was a little longer than she remembered. It suited his high cheekbones and wide-set blue eyes.
   
 Nick took note of her appraisal, his heart hammering against his ribs. Relief washed over him when she agreed to join him for dinner. Dazzling her with a smile, which she couldn’t help but return, he said softly, “Till tomorrow then.”
