Eight Years Gone by Cate Beauman (Author's note, Spotlight, Excerpt, Review and GIVEAWAY) ADULT title


 


Cate Beauman’s Eight Years Gone Release Celebration!

 

A note from the author:


I’m so excited to share this new story with you! I love that Eight Years Gone feels a little different from my other titles on the market.

 

For over a decade, I’ve been a Romantic Suspense girl, but the last year has brought tons of changes to my personal life. I’d say it’s entirely unrecognizable from twelve months ago.

 

My husband and I are officially empty-nesters (which I don’t love). We sold almost everything we owned and moved into a 320-sq. ft. tiny house in an entirely different state. My husband completely changed his career. And those are just a few of the wild and whacky shenanigans that shook up my life as I’ve known it for the last twenty-plus years.

 

But change can be good. It allows us to grow and explore new things—including different aspects of ourselves. Through this new beginning, I’ve discovered that I’m ready to hang up my Romantic Suspense hat—at least for a little while—and focus on Contemporary Romance.

 

And with that revelation, ideas for Jagger and Grace’s steamy second-chance romance started playing through my mind. Their undeniable connection and chemistry made it so fun to weave their story together.

 

I hope you’ll love Eight Years Gone as much as I enjoyed telling it.

 

Here’s to embracing new beginning

EIGHT YEARS GONE
ADULT title

 by

Cate Beauman



RELEASE DATE: September 20, 2023

 

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

 

A steamy second chance…

Jagger Tennyson never had it easy, but that all changes when Dr. Steven Evans knocks on his front door. Leaving poverty and hopelessness behind, Jagger creates a life he’s been too afraid to dream of. But tragedy strikes late one night, and everything falls apart. Jagger is forced to walk away, leaving the woman he loves. 

 

Grace Evans grew up with wealth and privilege, but she’s no stranger to loss and pain. When she meets the gorgeous boy from the wrong side of the tracks, everything changes for the better. Grace has never loved anyone the way she loves Jagger. But he vanishes on the night that nearly destroys her.

 

Eight years later, Jagger comes home, and nothing is how it was supposed to be. Dreams were shattered, and trust was broken, but he wants to make things right. He’ll do whatever it takes to fight for Grace, but proving he still loves her won’t be easy.

 

When tragedy befalls Grace again, Jagger can help her pick up the pieces. But can Grace forgive the past?

  

 ***************************

EXCERPT:

 

     Jagger settled his sunglasses in place as he stepped out of the shop’s short alleyway. He passed Simplicity’s storefront as Grace opened the big glass doors in anticipation of the day’s patrons.

     She paused with her hand on the Open sign as their eyes met. Then she turned away, heading farther into the shop.

     “Damn,” he muttered as he kept his pace steady on his walk down the pretty tree-lined stretch of Main Street, barely paying attention to the fall flowers decorating window boxes or the fact that a few of the stores along the block had changed hands since the last time he’d been there.

     He exhaled a long, frustrated breath because the last twenty minutes had gone far worse than he’d expected. Cornering Grace had been a bit of a dick move, but he hadn’t known what else to do, especially after she’d locked him out.

     This entire situation was boggy ground. Everything about the present was new territory.

     Clenching his jaw, he flared his nostrils, remembering how Grace had looked at him while he followed her around the store—hostility and poorly guarded vulnerability. That was new, too, and he didn’t like it.

     He’d watched her. When he pulled up at an empty spot by the coffee shop, he hadn’t realized she would be sitting by the window with Christy.

     Initially, he’d planned to walk over to Maggie’s place and find Grace there, but he’d stared across the street instead, studying how easily Grace talked and laughed with her longtime best friend.

     It was a shame when that had changed. He’d known the exact moment when she spotted him—when her eyes had grown huge with shock and her shoulders stiff with tension.

     “Damn,” he said again because things used to be so easy between them. He and Grace had spent long stretches of each day together for the better part of five years.

     Occasionally, they had argued or pissed each other off, but they’d never been able to stay mad at each other for long. Laughter and fun had always followed apologies and hugs—or a hell of a bout of sweaty makeup sex.

     Clearly, those days were over. But he rubbed at the back of his neck because even as he thought it, he knew it wasn’t that simple. He’d seen the flash of desire in her eyes—had heard the breathiness in her voice after he’d touched her. Time had passed—years—but there was still something between them.

     They needed to have a conversation, even if Grace wasn’t necessarily excited about the idea.

     Is there really anything we need to say?

     He shook his head as her last words to him stung. There was plenty to talk about because Grace had her hands full. When he’d left her behind, her life was supposed to have been better for it. She was supposed to have capitalized on her opportunities and made her dreams come true.

EIGHT YEARS GONE SOUNDTRACK

A Fall of Light by L.J. Greene (Spotlight, excerpt, review, and GIVEAWAY) GFT ADULT title

 


A Fall of Light

by 

LJ Greene

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

GENRE:  Contemporary M/M Romance

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 


 

LJ Greene brings to life one of her most compelling characters: the sensitive, eccentric, bass guitarist, Greg Van de Meer. A Fall of Light weaves together the strands of Greg’s private and public lives—a shattering personal history, a love affair with potentially disastrous consequences, and family bonds that are stretched to their breaking point.

 

BLURB:

It’s been fifteen years since Greg was outed by his fundamentalist father at age sixteen and sent from home, with devastating consequences for both he and his younger brother, Asher. Now unlaid ghosts from the past are stirring. With his band’s success on the world stage, Greg’s life takes a complicated turn when he develops a friendship with Louis Angel, an ex-Marine with a secret of his own, and finds himself facing familiar threats from an unexpected source.

 

Strained loyalties, a private affair, and Greg’s own guarded history collide dangerously until a visit from an old foe forces him to confront past wounds and present beliefs. Allegiances are called into question and he must decide whether the secrets he’s fighting to protect are worth the life he’s finally ready to have.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 




EXCERPT

 

He’d forgotten. Not just what it felt like to be touched by a man, but how much a part of him those desires truly were. He’d spent so much of his life in wary vigilance, rarely being able to fully enjoy his sexuality or even the fruits of his life. And he’d had so many blessings, but he was always wary. It was exhausting to be so wary.

He closed his eyes, and just for a moment, let himself imagine what it would be like to surrender to another person’s care. No, to Louis’s care, specifically; not some other’s. To Louis’s willingness to take care of him, to lean on him, as he seemed to want Greg to do. To be himself—fully himself—and to trust Louis to accept him, warts and all.

Louis’s face was now turned away, half buried in the white mounds of his pillow, his sleep-warm arms clutching it.

I’m afraid, he explained to him, in his thoughts. I’m afraid I’m going to fall . . . to get used to this, he corrected himself firmly, and you’re going to decide that being with a man—or being with me—isn’t what you imagined it to be. “I told you,” he whispered softly aloud, “I’m not a casual person. And I’m afraid that I won’t be able to be casual about you.”

A soft snore was his only answer. He leaned over, breathing in the musky sweetness of that firm, smooth shoulder, and pressed a small, loving kiss there.

My review:


3.75 stars

 

“A Fall of Light” by L.J. Greene follows the evolution of the relationship that develops between a rock star with a troubled past and the man who is supposed to make sure he is safe. In addition to the stresses of being in the closet, there are also dangers from the past that threaten to undermine everything these two are building together.

 

This adult contemporary gay romance provides encouragement and inspiration for those who have to fight to overcome dysfunctional families and censure from those who should support them. I love that these two find a way to get past their insecurities and learn to trust each other, even as I cringe at the betrayal and emotional blackmail that is all too familiar to those of us who deal with toxic people. I was able to relate to the characters easily and became invested in their journey, and I like the fact that some of the others in the band seem to be destined to get their lives featured as well. I hope to see this couple featured again some time, so we can catch up on what they’re doing.

Making it Hard by Tanith Davenport (Spotlight, excerpt, review, and GIVEAWAY) GFP ADULT title

 


Making It Hard

by 

Tanith Davenport

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

GENRE:   Erotic romance

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

BLURB:

 

Vlogger Angel Metzler likes to create content on her two favourite things – rock music and classic cars. So when lead guitarist Judah Kallam approaches her at a car show and asks her to do some promotion work for him, she accepts – and when she notices someone filming them as he’s flirting with her, she kisses him, hoping this will result in good publicity.


Judah tells her he plans to quit his band Vegas Dreams to go solo and is happy to get any publicity he can by any means necessary. Irresistibly drawn to him, Angel agrees to make public appearances with him, but knows it will go no further – she has made a private vow never to date musicians, having been let down by too many in the past. But when the press attention grows too much to handle, Angel and Judah are thrown closer together and the heat growing between them tempts Angel to break her vow – but will Judah still be interested when the promotion is done, or is she just a groupie to him?

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 


EXCERPT

 

The lead singer struck the crowd with a piercing look before playing the first chord, and Angel held up her phone, ready to record. These guys looked like they were going to be good.

 

Vegas Dreams. She would have to fire up Google when she got home. She would need some background information for her review. Names, album titles, future plans.

 

Judging by the lyrics, their first song was called Never Forever. She had never heard it before but the beat was infectious, and she began to move to the music, letting it flow through her.

 

As a bridge began, the lead guitarist moved to the front of the stage to start a solo, and Angel’s eyes widened as a wave of heat flooded through her body.

 

This guy was hot.

 

His dark hair was long, framing his face, his firm chin accentuated by a goatee. Dark eyes stood out under heavy brows, a curved facial tattoo of some kind—she couldn’t quite tell what—following the edge of his cheek to disappear behind his ear. Skintight jeans hugged his hips, but his chest was bare under his waistcoat, revealing a line of dark hair she instinctively ached to follow with her tongue.

 

“Sloane? What’s his name?”

 

Sloane paused, tilting her head in thought. “Judah, I think. Judah something.”

 

“Cute.”

 

Turning back to look, Sloane scanned him for a moment before shrugging.

 

“Meh. You can have him, I’ll take the lead singer.”

 

Angel laughed. “Yeah, right. I’m not a groupie.”

My review:



3.75 stars

 

Making it Hard by Tanith Davenport centers around Angel, a successful vlogger, who makes an unexpected connection with lead guitarist Judah just as he’s ready for a major change in his life. When the lines between their personal and professional lives blur, they have to decide if they want the same things out of life.

 

This adult contemporary romance novella is an entertaining quick read, perfect for enjoying by the pool with an icy drink to counter the sizzling heat outside and on the pages. I admit to being startled that Angel is successful enough to have a receptionist, lol, but I enjoyed the glimpses of classic cars and the interactions between the main characters. I thought it was a little disingenuous for her to be surprised at the publicity she generated, since that was her goal, but it was still fun to witness the rapid evolution of the relationship. An entertaining story for a quick break.

Reflections on the Boulevard by L.J. Ambrosio (Spotlight, excerpt, review, and GIVEAWAY) GFT



REFLECTIONS ON THE BOULEVARD

by 

Louis J. Ambrosio

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

GENRE:  Coming of age

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

BLURB:

 

Michael's story continues from "A Reservoir Man" (2022) where we find him teaching at a university ready to retire. He unexpectedly meets a young man named Ron who becomes his protégé and journeys with him in a haphazard adventure throughout America and Europe. In Michael's final journey in life, each twist and turn of the road brings unexpected adventures. The journey taken is one of joy, friendship, and discovery.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 



EXCERPT


As the ferry entered the river, one would barely know they were sailing. The breeze brushed against his face; he saw the water pass him just as life had. He looked at the stern of the ferry seeing all his relationships, career, and spirituality disappear in an endless stream of the river, moving them away but not forgotten. Michael felt as if the bow moving upriver was pushing towards his future with the thrust of a young man stealing second base.

 

From the corner of his eyes, he saw a well-built, nice looking young man, nerdy, longish dirty blonde hair that either needed cutting or a ponytail. He was talking to himself, no, Michael thought, "he is talking on the phone.” But no, the young man was actually talking to himself, or a bird. Suddenly, the young man saw Michael and flashed a small smile.

 

“Oh no I have been here too many times; those moments are up the river," thought Michael. The young man approached Michael asking if he knew him.

 

“I could not imagine how," said Michael, in disbelief.

 

“Yes,” the young man said, “in the park near the university. You were always reading on that same bench. I remember when the pigeons shit on your book and once on your jacket; the whole bench was full of shit,” the young man said with a slight devilish smile.

 

“Right!” said Michael. “Are you getting off here?”

 

“In the middle of the river, how could I?”

 

“You could always try," said Michael, with a slight but cold smile.

My review

3.5 out of 5 stars

 

Reflections on the Boulevard by L.J. Ambrosio follows the relationship that develops between Michael, a man who has had many experiences in his full life, and Ron, the young man he reluctantly takes on as a protégé. As they travel through life together, they discover that each can impart knowledge to the other, despite Ron’s apparent unworldliness.

 

This story is part travelogue, part philosophical reflection, and part coming-of-age tale conveyed in a somewhat stream-of-consciousness manner. The little details about the various places the men visit help the locations come alive and allow the reader to armchair travel while the musings about life and lessons learned encourage introspection. For those who are concerned with such things, the point of view tends to shift somewhat erratically, as do the tenses, but one is still drawn into the story of everyday life and the wonderment that can be found in simple things that sometimes involve moving out of one’s comfort zone. There are distressing elements of violence and loss that form pivotal points in Ron’s maturation, and the story definitely has its poignant moments that may require use of a tissue or two.

 

Although I did not read the story that preceded this one—“A Reservoir Man”—and there is evidently going to be an additional story to complete the arc of this trilogy, I had no trouble reading this as a stand-alone story.

My review:

3.75 stars

 

“Single Mothers Rock” written by Jaret Marino and illustrated by Mery Pelacine is a children’s book that celebrates women and their capabilities. Accomplishments of two different generations of single mothers are highlighted.

 

The vibrant illustrations and positive messages are great to use to inspire young children to value their moms and themselves, and reminds the reader that women are able to do a gamut of things, from repairing cars to planning fantastic birthday parties for enthusiastic five-year-olds who are convinced they can do anything they put their mind to. 

I’m unsure why the title uses “parents”, yet the text does not include single fathers, but perhaps there will be an additional book that includes the other gender.

The Place Beyond Her Dreams by Oby Aligwekwe (VBB, excerpt, and GIVEAWAY) GFT

 

The Place Beyond Her Dreams

by

Oby Aligwekwe



2021 National Indie Excellence Awards Winner for Young Adult Fiction!
2021 Indies Book of the Year Awards Finalist for Young Adult Fiction!
2021 Best Book Awards Finalist for Young Adult Fiction!



“We are most courageous at our weakest; when we believe we have faced what we fear the most and have nothing more to lose.”


Set against the backdrop of two warring towns, Oby Aligwekwe’s Young Adult debut—told from the viewpoint of her main character—is inspired by her West African heritage, fables, and spiritual beliefs. Ona’s journey reveals the power of choice, the true source of happiness, and, most importantly, the transformation one must go through to realize and eventually occupy their purpose.

At the sudden death of her grandfather, Ona’s pain transports her to mystical Luenah—a place of infinite possibilities, free of turf wars and other ills that plague the earthly dimension she lives in. In Luenah, where her grandfather awaits her, Ona learns she is an Eri, one bestowed with unique intuitive and spiritual gifts passed down from generation-to-generation.

On her 18th birthday, she returns to Luenah and is handed a box to deposit her "exchange" for love and happiness—her greatest desires. Burdened by her quest, Ona crosses paths with danger and heartbreak as the two men that love her dearly are viciously pitted against each other. As evil looms, she learns that dreams carry a hefty price, and no one is who they seem. Now, she must unmask the villain and save the one she loves, even at the risk of losing everything she holds dear.



“Young adults and older readers will be enchanted by this fantasy's magic, romance, and life lessons.” (Booklife by Publishers Weekly)




Excerpt

ONE MONTH AFTER my eleventh birthday, the desiccating north-east harmattan winds blew a flurry of red dust and some dirt as I walked into my grandfather’s compound. I sprinted in the opposite direction as I feared the tornado would carry me away to some unknown land where I could never see my grandparents again. It subsided as quickly as it had started, but it left behind particles of dust and dirt, making it hard for me to see. I managed to observe the blockage caused by cars parked haphazardly on the road facing the compound and extending into our driveway. It then made sense why my school bus driver had asked me to alight a block from my home. I was not happy about the fact that I had to walk. The dust had turned my white stockings a reddish-brown, which meant I wouldn’t receive my usual compliments from my grandfather, who often marveled at how my clothes always remained so clean even after a full day at school. Every day, I removed my stockings during the break period and put them back on after I had played with my friends—that’s how important their cleanliness, and my grandfather’s praise, was to me.

I got closer to the gate and discovered there were more important things to contend with than my stockings. A throng of visitors was inside the compound, some seated on benches, others leaning on their cars, and several more whispering in little circles. No one had noticed when I walked in. I felt invisible and remained so as I crept by the men and women that blocked the entrance to the staircase and every single stair, all the way to the landing.

I pushed and shoved countless times until I finally made it past the hallway that led to my grandmother’s private parlor. Stopping for a moment to catch my breath, I started to hear crying; something had gone seriously wrong.
