By D.G. Carothers

Welcome to Bear Essentials, where caring for the outside of you from head to toe is our specialty.

Mel Carter is perfectly content with their life. A chance encounter and a size fifteen foot in their mouth later, content is no longer acceptable.

Elias Garcia slammed into Mel's life with a carefree giggle. There was only one thing for a Dommy with a penchant for strict rules like Mel to do, assess their life and take the leap, okay two things.

Join Bear Essentials' front-end manager as they discover just how special the full-time genius, part-time free spirit, Elias aka Blu, really is.

Ruling It All is an M-NB sweet and fluffy romance with BDSM concepts, an age gap, pets who are "silent" characters, and an AI that will cause more than a little mishap.

Bear Essentials is a continuous series and must be read in order.

Excerpt from Ruling It All

Mel POV

Dylan finally broke the silence. “I’m not mad at you.”

“No? You have every right to be. I was an asshole.” I knew I had been an asshole and out of line. I still really didn’t understand why it was such a big deal. That alone probably made me sound insincere, but I just didn’t get it.

“You were, but I know you didn’t intend to eat your foot as much as you did. You couldn’t have known what kind of effect your words would have on Elias. You don’t know him.” Dylan sipped his coffee.

“I don’t. I haven’t had the opportunity to apologize to him either. He moved his appointments, clearly trying to avoid me.”

“Well, you’re not the only one he’s been avoiding. Except for his appointment earlier this week, he hadn’t left his house since that day.”

My forehead crinkled, and I set my cup down. “What? Why?”

“To put it simply, he didn’t want to cause any trouble between anyone, so he decided the best way to do that would be to remove himself from the equation.” Dylan shook his head like he didn’t agree with Elias’s actions.

“That doesn’t make any sense.” I was confused and thought the action was a little childish.

“You have to understand that Elias doesn’t think the way we do.” Dylan paused like he was trying to find words. I waited patiently. “You know how really smart people see the world differently than most everyone else?”

I nodded. I hadn’t known anyone like that but there’s examples in movies and TV. I didn’t know how accurate those were, but I could imagine how the world differed for those kinds of people.

“Well, Elias just sees the world differently. He is a genius, and I’m not just saying that. He’s literally a rocket scientist and does work for NASA, and I’m sure, the defense department. Whether he’s on the autistic or Asperger’s spectrum, I don’t know. I’ve never asked. It’s never mattered to me to put a label on him. Some people I can see would need to have an explanation, I guess, for some of his behavior, but I don’t need that. All his little quirks are the things that make him, him. The why of them doesn’t change who he is.”

I nodded. I understood exactly what he was saying. Many times I’ve been asked in my life why I am who I am, and I have no answers for them. I am who I was born as and as God made me. “Everyone has their idiosyncrasies. It’s just a matter of learning them and accepting them as part of that person.”

Welcome to Bear Essentials, where caring for the outside of you from head to toe is our specialty.

Basil Paddington is living his dream. He's built from the ground up a safe space for anyone to get the services they need to feel beautiful. He's very proud of the work he's done and the life he's built.

He has a successful business, friends, and a lovely cat named Arnold. What more could he possibly need?

Basil gave up long ago on finding love, much less someone who accepted who he was sexually. He has his kinks and a very healthy sex life, in his opinion. Little does he know that there is someone right under his nose that's perfect for him.

​While Bear Essentials specializes in making the outside beautiful to each client's own eye, it's below the surface where we find the most surprises.

Bear Essentials is a new series set in the same town as Kink Files. Join us as we follow the folks who work at Bear Essentials as they find love and their Happily Ever After.

Attention: This book contains explicit sexual content between consenting adults. There are depictions of sounding, needle play, and fuck machines.

Release Blitz ~ Hostile Takeover by Lucy Lennox

 

"An enemies-to-lovers thrill ride! Sexy, gripping, clever and relentlessly good!" - #1NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely

Hostile Takeover, an all-new enemies to lovers mm romance by Lucy Lennox is now available!

It was supposed to be a prank. A silly frat boy dare.

One hot moment in a hidden storage closet. One kiss. No consequences.

But if you get that close to a man with fire in his eyes, you’re gonna get burned, and I was no exception. One taste of Grey Blackwood ruined me for life.

The way Grey sees it, I was the one who did the ruining. I humiliated him. Wrecked his life. Destroyed his future.

Doesn’t matter that he’s clawed his way back and then some. Doesn’t matter that he’s already top of the Wall Street food chain. The man’s ruthless. Heartless. And he likes his revenge served cold.

Now he’s taking down the companies owned by every frat boy who did him wrong. And when he comes for my family’s company, the quiet life I’ve built for myself far away from Manhattan comes crumbling down, too.

But when Grey’s standing in our boardroom, threatening a hostile takeover and demanding I negotiate on behalf of my family, I don’t see an enemy. I see the chance I’ve been waiting for.

The chance for another night in his arms, and hopefully a whole lot more.

Let the negotiations begin.

Rider doesn’t have a lot of rules when it comes to guys, but there is one- he doesn’t date, not ever. He’s content with random hookups because dating means too much. That’s reserved for the one person he knows he can never have, his best friend, Cameron.

After watching his own family fall apart, Cam longs for someone who will stick it out through thick and thin. He’s had a string of girlfriends that never seem to be the right one. The one person he can always count on is Rider.

One night out changes everything between them. When Rider ends up telling Cam the secret he’s been hiding, Cam is left reeling. But will an accident end Cam’s chances to figure out what it means for them?

ATS Teaser 2


Excerpt:

I sat there and thought of how the taste and feel of his tongue still lingered on mine. I swept my gaze sideways and watched Rider. I studied the trace of stubble on his cheeks and chin, itching to trace it, to feel it on someone else, not just on my own face. I wanted to touch him, to get closer to him, to learn more. I stretched my arm over and placed it on his thigh again. Rider’s lip tugged up once more as he kept his eyes on the road. I trailed my hand ever so slightly higher.

“Are you feeling curious, Cam?” He teased.

I moved my hand back down. “Is that okay?” I asked sheepishly.

Rider grabbed my hand and returned it to where it had been. “You are allowed to touch me anyway and anywhere you want to. I’m yours to discover.” He emphasized the point by guiding my hand once more, only this time he planted it right over the bulge at the v of his thighs. I sucked in a breath at his boldness, but even after he returned his hand to the steering wheel, I didn’t pull away. I cupped him and let myself feel him beneath the jeans. Rider moaned and his head fell back against the headrest. I added more pressure as I rubbed slowly up and down, as he hardened under my touch. It was fascinating, thrilling - funny too. I knew what this would feel like if it were being done to me, somehow that made it even more exciting to know what I was doing to him.

“Fuck,” Rider whispered and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “On second thought, this might have been a bad idea. I hate that I’m saying this because I really don’t want you to stop. Can we just press pause until we get back to your place? If you keep going, I might stop caring about driving.”

“Maybe you just need to work on your concentration skills,” I said as I reluctantly pulled my arm back. I shifted in my seat as my own arousal pressed against my jeans with Rider’s reaction.

“With you...impossible.” Rider smirked. He adjusted himself too. We were both happily uncomfortable. Did my apartment move? Shouldn’t we be there already?

“So, here’s something you may not know about dating.”

Rider arched his brow. “Oh yeah, what’s that?”

“Normally, the date comes before ending up in bed together,” I stated matter-of-factly.

“Oh, I see. That’s very interesting. Maybe we can do something about that, you know...set things right.” Rider turned to face me briefly with heat in his eyes.

“That could do,” I said as I felt that heat from him reach into me.
