Blurb of the Week - Admit One

I am back to my regularly scheduled programming! Which means it's time for a Blurb of the Week!!! This week's book was picked for me as a part of the December Comfort Zone Challenge over at the goodreads M/M Romance Group.

Admit One By Jenna Hilary Sinclair


Blurb

When high school teacher Tom Smith meets Kevin Bannerman at a gay club, he violates his own rule: one-night stands only. But when the weekend is over, he walks away, reminding himself that he lives a deeply closeted life for painful, compelling reasons. He keeps his secrets, his heart, and the cause of his crippled arm to himself, but almost immediately he bitterly regrets leaving Kevin. Months later, while Tom serves as a reluctant assistant director for his school's production of Rent, he fears that the show's same-sex love angel will somehow out him

Protests against the play begin, one of the students is harassed, and during a parents' meeting, Tom encounters Kevin again. This time Tom can't fight the attraction between them, and he and Kevin begin a tentative relationship. Within Rent's message of acceptance and support, as as local churches oppose teh play, Tom struggles to find the strength to admit one man into his heart.

You can find Admit One for $6.99 at Dreamspinner Press.

Blurb of the Week - Deceieved

In an effort to continue posting regularly to this here lovely livejournal, I have decided to institute another weekly post: BLURB OF THE WEEK! This will be the blurb of the book I most want to read this week (I always read 3-5 books every week so there is always something). Then, starting next week, I will post a review of the previous week's blurb along with the new one. It should be fun!!!

I will start off my Blurb of the Week fun with a fun short story anthology of five stories by Megan Derr. I LOVE Megan Derr and cannot recommend her enough.

Deceived By Megan Derr





Five stories of men and the secrets and lies that shape their lives...

Deceived —The hatred between Prince Benedict and his secretary Rae is well-known, and the source of much gossip at court. Each one too stubborn to walk away, determined to make the other one the first to break, they spend their days fighting or ruthlessly ignoring one another. Determined to put an end to the matter once and for all, and to give the notoriously rakish Benedict a taste of his own medicine, Rae sets upon a deception only to realize that there is more than one deception afoot...

Scandalous —Gideon has led a very strict life since the death of his parents, determined not to live the scandalous life that led to their untimely demise and to bring up his little brother in a more stable home.
