Expected Publication: September 29, 2023

Genre: M/M, Romance

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings
that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)

This my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Marshall:
I hate Valentine Tye. I’ve hated him since we were ten years old. I hate everything he is, everything he stands for. Even the mention of his name gets my back up.

Valentine:
I know what people think of me. I know what they assume. They all think I’m some spoiled rich guy who’s had everything handed to him. They don’t know me at all. Behind my carefully constructed walls is an emptiness so dark it scares everyone away.

So... I may have truncated that synopsis because it is not safe for public consumption. Ahem.
I love this author. She can write the sweetest, gooey romance ever, and then turn around and write dark, emotional, and angsty like a pro. This book is obviously not sweet and gooey.

Waiting On Wednesday (618) Equinox (The Lake Prophet Mysteries #2) by Eli Easton and R.J. Scott

Equinox
(The Lake Prophet Mysteries #2)
by Eli Easton and R.J. Scott

Expected Publication: September 29, 2023

Genre: M/M, Romance, Mystery

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings
that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)

This my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

The tranquility of Prophet is shattered when a local trail rider is killed and whispers of wolf packs and murder spread like wildfire.

Three months after the murder of Mike Bressett, the sleepy town of Prophet faces another tragedy—the death of Billy Odette, a well-liked Makah man who ran trail rides for the tourists. When Billy is discovered to have been the victim of a vicious animal attack, dragged right off a popular trail, angry locals are quick to blame a wolf pack that’s recently moved into the area. But Sheriff Gabriel Thompson learns that the death isn’t as simple as it seems when decades-long animosities and secrets come to light.

A figure from Tiber Russo’s past cast a shadow over his blossoming friendship with Gabriel and dashed any hope for a meaningful relationship. However, as Tiber confronts the demon on his doorstep he turns to Gabriel for help, and all the reasons he has to stay apart become nothing at all.

While Tiber and a local wildlife painter fight to protect the wolves, Gabriel has to unravel a tangled web of deception, betrayal, and long-held grudges and as the mystery unfolds, he discovers Billy’s death is part of a larger plot that threatens his town and beyond, and when Tiber’s life is threatened, will Gabriel lose everything?

I just got around to reading the first book in this series, and while sort of interesting, it wasn't all that... so it was kind of just okay? Not much romance, but the mystery was good enough (if a bit all over the place with suspects.) But I feel the need to continue the series because I am interested in seeing how things play out. It sounds like there still isn't much 'romance' for a book being marketed as MM/Romance/Mystery. Hmm.. we shall see.

This my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

WORTH: I thought I’d lost myself…

Until Sam found me. Now I’m back in Safe Harbor, where I haven’t belonged in over twenty years. I’m unsure how I ended up here, yet I’m certain Sam is the key to finally healing.

But it’s complicated.

Sam’s had a crush on me since we were younger. To me, however, he was always the annoying kid tagging along. Now he’s all grown-up and delightfully bossy as he encourages me to reclaim my health.

I enjoy pushing Sam’s buttons, and one button too many leads to a scorching kiss. But I can’t imagine staying in Safe Harbor forever, and no way is Sam leaving.

Sam’s given me a place to stay, a job at his nonprofit coffee shop, and a sense of purpose when I had none. But can I give him my heart? And more importantly, can I overcome my past to make Safe Harbor my future?

This is the final book in this trilogy, and I am anxious to find out the conclusion to the mystery that spanned the series. (Just tell me who did it!!!!)

Genre: M/M, Romance

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings

(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)

This my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

The ring has been bought, and all Aslan has to do is create the perfect setup for a proposal. No problem. Nothing to it. Quaid deserves the best, and he plans to deliver.

After choreographing a romantic evening to officially pop the question, Aslan is ready.

But things don’t go as planned, and the evening is ruined. Quaid’s insecurities rear their ugly head, making him suspicious. He knows Aslan is hiding something, but pessimism insists it isn’t a good thing.

When Aslan gets called out of town to hunt down a long-acting serial killer, there is no time to soothe his over-anxious boyfriend’s worries or make a new attempt to propose.

Torn between a complicated case and figuring out the perfect way to ask Quaid to marry him, Aslan is left scrambling. Every idea falls flat. Every scrambling attempt fails. The more pressure he puts on himself, the more unsuccessful his efforts, and Quaid’s fears grow.

Aslan needs to solve this serial killer case and get home to straighten the mess he’s made.

Book #6 already?? I am VERY excited to read this. I've been doing my happy dance in anticipation. (One legged happy dance, cuz ya know, walking boot on my left foot until the busy, busy, busy doctor can fit me in his precious schedule. Insert eye roll.) Anyway, I can't believe we're up to 6 books (7 if you count #0.5 which is when these two met and didn't like each other.) I love these guys, and I've enjoyed their crime solving abilities. Their cases have been very intriguing so far, so I hope this case is good too. I've got this preordered, so I'm just waiting for it to show up on my Kindle so I can get to reading!
