Brought to you courtesy of my very strange Amazon wishlist. No need for thanks. It's the least I could do ;)

This one is free from the author who brought us Creamed by Cave Creatures.

Go ahead and try to resist. 

It was 794 AD in Ravenscrest, Scotland. Ainsley Buchanan awakens one autumn morning to the sound of terror, the sound of vikings.

As the blood thirsty pagan Leif Axelsen makes landfall and ravages Ravenscrest her life will never be the same. She is forced to come to terms with his domination of her as she assimilates into Viking life as his slave.

A special note to my readers:

While this story starts in a similar fashion to my Mastered by Vikings series, it takes a vastly different, and much darker turn dealing with a stretch of time spanning two decades. It was originally released under a pen name I have since retried and consolidated into my Chelsea Chaynes name given competition in the marketplace. I hope you enjoy!

Warning: This 7,000 word story is for mature audiences only. It contains scenes and themes consistent with bondage, impregnation, submission to a dominant male and more. It is concluded in a 13,000 word sequel.

This book is on sale for .99 cents and is book #1 in a series. Looks like it can stand alone but what do I know? I haven't read it yet.

Everyone’s got secrets. Some are just harder to hide.

 

Bend or Break, Book 1

With his father’s ponzi scheme assets frozen, Tom Worthington believes finishing college is impossible unless he can pay his own way. After months sleeping in his car and gypsy-cabbing for cash, he’s ready to do just that.

 

But his new, older-student housing comes with an unapologetically gay roommate. Tom doesn’t ask why Reese Anders has been separated from the rest of the student population. He’s just happy to be sleeping in a bed.

 

Reese isn’t about to share his brutal story with his gruff new roommate. You’ve seen one homophobic jock, you’ve seen ’em all. He plans to drag every twink on campus into his bed until Tom moves out. But soon it becomes clear Tom isn’t budging.

 

Tom isn’t going to let some late-night sex noise scare him off, especially when it’s turning him on. But he doesn’t want any drama either. He’ll keep his hands, if not his eyes, to himself. Boundaries have a way of blurring when you start sharing truths, though. And if Tom and Reese cross too many lines, they may need to find out just how far they can bend…before they break.

 

Warning: This book contains cranky roommates who vacillate between lashing out and licking, some male/male voyeurism, emotional baggage that neither guy wants to unpack, and the definitive proof that sound carries in college housing.

One of the perks of having an extremely long Amazon wishlist (thanks everyone!)  is the "items with price drops" filter. I check it every day and usually find something that has been deeply discounted. I'll try to remember to start sharing them and would love it if the rest of you could join in. We can never have enough books, right?

I haven't read any of these books but they have all been highly recommended to me by Booklikes & Goodreads friends whose tastes I trust. So you can blame them if you hate the books ;)

My tastes are eclectic and today's finds include a little something for almost everyone, maybe? We have a little m/m love, a gory horror cult classic & a story about miracles.

FREE! Duncan has a secret fantasy, but is Tyler the right man for the job? Tyler’s new policeman boyfriend, Duncan, is gorgeous. Tall, broad, and über-masculine, he’s the epitome of the dominant top—in appearance at least. When they discuss their sexual fantasies, Duncan confesses to a secret desire that surprises Tyler. Luckily for Duncan, Tyler’s happy to oblige and is determined to give Duncan a night to remember.

.99 Cents.  One of the most outrageous, original and insightful books ever written on the subject of alienation and societal decay, Cows is a violent, blood soaked nightmare - a scatological tale of love, self-empowerment and probably the most extreme novel you'll ever read. Hailed around the world as a cult classic, Matthew Stokoe's novel set the bar for gritty urban horror.

Mother's corpse in pieces, dead dog on the roof, girlfriend in a coma, baby nailed to the wall, and a hundred tons of homicidal beef stampeding through the subway system. And Steven thought the slaughterhouse was bad . . .

FREE!

Billy Coffey has been compared to both Flannery O'Connor and Shirley Jackson. Journey with him to Mattingly, VA, and discover what marks the boundary between a miracle from God and the imagination of a child.

Leah is a child from Away, isolated from her peers because of her stutter. But then she begins painting scenes that are epic in scope, brilliant in detail, and suffused with rich, prophetic imagery. When the event foreshadowed in the first painting dramatically comes true, the town of Mattingly takes notice.

Leah attributes her ability to foretell the future to an invisible friend she calls the Rainbow Man. Some of the townsfolk are enchanted with her. Others fear her. But there is one thing they all agree on—there is no such thing as the Rainbow Man.

Her father, the town psychologist, is falling apart over his inability to heal his daughter . . . or fix his marriage. And the town minister is unraveled by the notion that a mere child with no formal training may be hearing from God more clearly than he does.

While the town bickers over what to do with this strange child, the content of Leah’s paintings grows darker. Still, Leah insists that the Rainbow Man’s heart is pure. But then a dramatic and tragic turn of events leaves the town reeling and places everyone’s lives in danger. Now the people of Mattingly face a single choice:

Will they cling to what they know . . . or embrace the things Leah believes in that cannot be seen?
