Synopsis

Max Farrier wanted to follow in the family footsteps and join the Navy once, but he’s better off focusing on just surviving his last year of school and going to work in Aunt Donna’s shop once it’s over.

After an incident at school puts Max in the hospital, Aunt Donna’s had enough. She signs him up for private lessons at a Muay Thai gym. Boxing—she says—will change everything.

But it’s not boxing that starts to poke holes in Max’s stupor—it’s his sparring partner. Cian is fifty percent mouth, fifty percent attitude, and isn’t afraid to go toe-to-toe with a bully in the street. Cian takes what he wants, and doesn’t let anyone stand in his way—not even himself.

Synopsis

When a cloud falls to earth, Calla sets out to find what lies beyond the sky. Father says there’s nothing, but Calla knows better. Something killed that cloud; someone brought it down.

Raised on legends of fabled skymen, Calla never expected them to be real, much less save one from drowning—and lose her heart to him. Who are the men who walk on water? And how can such strange creatures be so beautiful?

Infatuated and intrigued, Calla rises out of her world in pursuit of a skyman who doesn’t even speak her language. Above the waves lies more than princes and politics. Above the sky awaits the discovery of who Calla was always meant to be. But what if it also means never going home again?

BLURB

Stefan has ... fantasies.

He knows chasing those fantasies is only going to end in disaster, but he can't seem to stop his self-destructive spiral. He’s a transgender man struggling to come to terms with the intersection of his identity and his sexual fantasies as a submissive. He needs someone to take control before he loses it completely.

Daz can take control. He can teach Stefan everything there is to know about sex and submission, but for some reason, he can't get inside Stefan's head. Daz can stop Stefan’s self-destruction but not the fear that fuels it.

Stefan needs to know who he is before he can accept what he is. And it's Yannis -- Daz's aromantic, asexual, stern, and sarcastic partner -- who has the answer.

In the Spotlight with Bayou Book Junkie ~ Author Matthew J Metzger

Hi Matthew J Metzger and welcome to Bayou Book Junkie. Matt has been writing since 2012 and to date has published 9 novels, but, horror of horrors, he’s not great at updating his website/blog! Matt, Matt, Matt, what are readers and fans to do when they want more, more, more? On the other hand, he’s proud and open about being FTM transgender, having blogged about his transition, and, I have it from the horse’s mouth, that he’s pretty open generally – music to our ears! The 5 Star book that brought him onto our radar was What It Looks Like, and we’re currently making inroads into his backlist and we have many, many questions. So, here’s where we stop scaring Matt and open the floor to him.😊

BBJ: Welcome to Bayou Book Junkie, Matt. In your own words, would you please tell us all about yourself and what set you on the path to writing queer romance?

Matt: Apart from being horribly disorganised? Well, I'm British, I'm 26, and I'm a short bloke with a shaved head and covered in tattoos. And I use curses like commas. I'm the last person you'd expect to be writing romance of any kind. I started out online in fanfiction as a teenager, and it wasn't initially romance, per se, but people. I've always loved the interaction between people. My favourite TV shows have always been those with great banter and dialogue: Stargate, Red Dwarf, Life on Mars. And my favourite characters (with two exceptions) were always men, so I tended to just look for stories involving the guys. Romance was essentially a bit of a by-product as I found myself in a fanfiction world where the best romances were still full of that sarcastic chatter, and the worst were all saccharine-sweet and boring. So I started writing my own sarcasm, got gradually halfway decent, a friend demanded I write her an original story one day...and here I am, several years and several books later. Ta-da!


BBJ: Please describe a typical day in the life of Matt Metzger, author, and tell us what you do to relax?

Matt: Work. I'm actually really boring! I have a day job that I love, very numbers-oriented and nothing like writing, and then I come home to fuss my cat and watch YouTube videos, or go to the gym or kickboxing. And then when I have days off, I go to a cafe in Leeds and I write books. (My record is currently 13,000 words in one day.) I don't switch off, and my mental health tends to act up when I slow down for too long, so I'm always working.


BBJ: Matt, we have to say that we’re a little puzzled. You make no secret of the fact that you feel no romantic attraction and are ace – can you tell us how that translates into writing an amazing romance like What It Looks Like? What did you draw on to deliver what for us, as demanding readers of romance, is pretty much perfection? I mean, Rob was so protective and supportive of Eli, and the way you ended the tale..!

Eli Bell is the only son of a police chief inspector and a forensic scientist. He's grown up wonky in a world that only deals with the straight and narrow -- and his new boyfriend isn't helping.

Rob Hawkes is six feet of muscle, tattoos, and arrest warrants. A career criminal and a former guest of Her Majesty's Prison Service, he'd rather hit Eli's parents than sit down to dinner with them. One wrong move, and Rob could destroy Eli -- and his family -- without a second thought.

But this isn't what it looks like.

Rob's not in control here -- and Eli's the one to blame.
