Synopsis


Christian Rafferty is a talented quarterback with a big secret. He’s determined to make the most of his final season on the football field, and if possible, avoid any confrontations with his conservative parents about his future. It shouldn’t be difficult; he’s become adept at keeping his public and private lives separate. However, when a math class threatens to derail his plans to graduate on time, he realizes he may need outside help.

Rory Kirkland has a reputation for being a tough guy. He’s a former wrestler and recent college graduate who needs a real job. Until he finds one, tutoring is a decent temporary gig. Luckily, his brain is his biggest asset. Rory is a genius. He credits his sport for helping him deal with angst and rumors about his sexuality when he was younger, but he doesn’t care what others think anymore. He likes his new status as an out and proud bi man; and he recognizes something of himself in Christian. But Rory didn’t count on falling for him. When an unlikely friendship collides with intense attraction, both men begin to realize that coming out on offense just might be the surest path to love.

Synopsis

Geordie de la Rosa is a legend among wine lovers in Napa Valley. His ultra-fabulous style paired with a penchant for leading impromptu sing-a-longs has made him a star attraction at Conrad Winery. Co-owning a well-respected winery was never Geordie’s aspiration but he likes the niche he’s made for himself. He won’t deny that his job and his friends have helped ease his heartache and grief after the death of his longtime partner.

Levi Yeager excels at the art of reinventing himself. He’s been a minor league baseball player, a college coach and now a restaurant owner. The problem is he doesn’t know a thing about the food business. And when his chef quits unexpectedly, he’s afraid his new venture is doomed. But Levi isn’t a quitter. It may be the only thing he has in common with the beautiful, sassy man from the neighboring winery who agrees to help get his new business up and running. Neither man counts on their fast friendship or the wild attraction they feel for each other. However, they know they won’t stand a chance until they let go of the past and lean into forever.

GRL2017 Blog Tour: Bayou Book Junkie Welcomes Lane Hayes

GRL2017 Blog Tour: Bayou Book Junkie Welcomes
Lane Hayes


Denver will be my fourth GRL. Unbelievable! I attended my first one in Chicago as a reader and though I had three books in my Better Than Stories series under my belt, I have to admit, I was a nervous wreck. I didn’t know anyone and I wasn’t particularly active on Facebook so I figured my best bet was to volunteer. I thought if I looked like I was supposed to be there, I wouldn’t feel quite so conspicuous and out of place. I’m happy to report that while I was glad I offered to lend a hand, I never felt as though I didn’t belong. In fact, it was the opposite. I’d found my tribe.

Every year that feeling has grown for me. The inclusive atmosphere and contagious excitement in a room full of MM romance books readers is extraordinary. This is our forum. It’s incredibly special knowing every single person in attendance shares a passion for a well-written story featuring strong and relatable LGBTQ characters. And the best part is they want to talk about it! There’s no need for major introductions and backstories when you find yourself next to someone who read or wrote or blogged about one of your favorite MM books. These discussions happen in the lobby, the bar, the elevator, standing in line for coffee… and they’re a blast! Social media interaction can be fun for sure, but nothing compares to meeting the folks you chat with daily on FB in person. It’s truly priceless.
