 Now live! 

A woman who seems to have it all, a shy construction worker who prefers to keep in the shadows, and news that will blow their worlds wide open. Join bestselling author ML Nystrom in the Dragon Runners MC spin-off following the much-loved MacAteer brothers.

Party girl Melanie Miser has it all: looks, brains, and money. She goes through men with a distinct lack of commitment, never getting too close and never letting them get close to her.

Not even her best friend knows why.

After a lifetime of being mocked for his speech impediment, burly giant Owen rarely talks to anyone outside his family circle. He has wanted Melanie for a long time, but fears he would be just another notch in her bedpost. As their friendship strengthens, Owen still yearns for Melanie to see him as more.

Then life throws a major curveball and Melanie faces irrevocable changes. More than ever, she needs Owen to help her process the hardship of her past and the challenges of the future.

If you like heat and tension, you'll love ML Nystrom's friends-to-lovers romance.

Rating: 4.5*

School teacher Melanie seems to have it all: a great condo, a job she loves, financial freedom, a sporty car. This comes at cost, with a family that despises her and will do anything to put her down and exclude her from their lives where possible. Melanie is confident and not afraid to speak her mind.

Owen is one of the MacAteer brothers who are excellent with their hands. Owen is the quietest of the brothers, having grown up being made fun of the way he speaks so he says very little. Owen happens to be around when Melanie needs someone to catch her and support her at a challenging time in her life. 

Melanie and Owen couldn't be more different but they ground the other. There is no judgement from either about the other's lives and choices. Having a really quiet and stoic character like Owen is not the easiest to write but ML Nystrom knocked this one out of the park.

I've had stories in my head since I was a child.  All sorts of stories of fantasy, romance, mystery and anything else that captured my interest.  I'm a voracious reader, and have spent many hours in my life devouring books, therefore it's only fitting I should write a few myself!  

I've spent most of my life as a performing musician and band instrument repair technician, but that doesn't mean I'm pigeon-holed into one mold.  I've been a university professor, belly dancer, craftsperson, soap maker, singer, rock band artist, jewelry maker, lifeguard, swim coach, and whatever else I feel like exploring.  As one of my students said to me once, "Life's too short to ignore the opportunities."   I have no intention of ever stopping so welcome to my story world.  I hope you enjoy it!

It's Not You by Becca Seymour

 

It's time for a new couple in Becca's latest stand-alone small-town romance!
 Author: Becca Seymour
Book: It's Not You
Series: True-Blue #6 (Complete Stand-Alone)
Genre: M/M Romance
Cover Designer: Booksmith Design
"It’s Not You had me catching all the feels, and I loved every single moment of it! For me, this book checked all the boxes when it comes to an M/M romance book." - Charles Reads
When a protective ex-cop helps his gorgeous tenant through his recovery, their complicated history is asking for trouble. Will the fear of the past repeating itself destroy any possibility of happiness?

Daredevil drifter Lawrence Crawford is hunting for a place to call home. After ten years of looking, he believes he’s found what he’s been searching for. With a job that pays the bills and a small group of friends he’s opening up to, he lets down his guard. Perhaps too much so. Finding himself in need of support, Lawrence is forced to accept help from the one man who’s been driving him to distraction for the past year. His landlord.

Former cop Billy Hilton made a mistake—admittedly there’ve been many over the years. The latest is when he lets Lawrence believe he isn’t interested in pursuing anything with him. It’s not even the age difference or the fact the guy lives in Billy’s studio apartment that’s the problem. Instead, it’s all him. When Billy offers to play nursemaid to Lawrence, his intentions may not be pure, but they’re honest. And that honesty blows their lives wide open when Lawrence’s past comes knocking on the door, demanding changes and threatening an upheaval neither man may ever recover from.

Book five in Becca Seymour’s stand-alone low-angst, feel-good M/M romance series, True-blue. In this small town, there are busybodies, dogs who cause chaos, families who have the “best” of timing, and opportunities for good men to find their perfect match. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
Swoon-worthy low-angst contemporary M/M romances

REVIEW
Rating: ☆☆☆☆


Lawrence has had a thing for his landlord Billy from the moment he moved into the rooms above his garage. Just when he thinks that he is getting somewhere with Billy, Billy pulls back and breaks Lawrence's fragile heart.  Billy regrets his actions almost immediately and tries to break down the walls that Lawrence has built up after the rejection. It is a task that seems impossible but there is one very important trait about Billy and that is he doesn't give up when he sets his mind to something.

Lawrence is not one to trust easily and once his past is revealed, you understand why and appreciate the strength and courage he demonstrates. He is living his life his way. Billy is a natural protector. A former cop, you can understand this need. It is this side of Billy that could be the tipping point in his favour. Despite the difference in their ages, they fit together. They have both had a bumpy time on the road of life. 

There was a sweetness about the relationship between Lawrence and Billy that was endearing and has you wanting them to have their HEA. They are there for the other throughout this book and through the challenges that they have to face. This was beautifully written, set in an incredibly supportive town. I thoroughly enjoyed this read.
