Exclusive excerpt:
Fox Hollow Grocery didn’t look fancy from the outside, but as
soon as he stepped inside, Riley felt amazed by the sheer variety of items the
store stocked. He grabbed a cart and began working his way around the aisles
slowly, looking for the items on his list and making mental notes of what he
might need to buy in the near future.
The smell of baking bread tempted him from the bakery, and
the produce aisle was remarkably fresh, considering the season. Riley wasn’t
planning on cooking any fancy dinners with his minimal kitchen, but the meat
counter offered mouth-watering options. He picked up basics—peanut butter,
jelly, bread, lunch meat and sandwich fixings, chips, coffee, and a few other
staples just in case he really did get snowed in.
A couple of frozen entrees and small pizzas got added to the
cart, next to a case of beer. He had brought a few fifths of whiskey with him
and figured he would have time to figure out where the nearest liquor store was
before his stash ran low.
Where do they keep the microwave popcorn?
Someone bumped into him, and Riley looked up—and up. The
dark-haired man was at least three or four inches taller, with broad shoulders.
Dark brown eyes widened as their gazes met.
Riley registered a couple of things in those first few
seconds. The stranger was handsome, probably hid an amazing body beneath his
parka, and had the prettiest eyes Riley had ever seen.
“Sorry.” The stranger sounded adorably embarrassed.
“No problem,” Riley stammered. “Do you know where the
microwave popcorn is?” he blurted.
Tall Guy told him, and Riley thanked him, not sure how to
carry on the conversation he wanted to have while standing in a grocery aisle.
Smooth move, he berated himself. That was the hottest guy I’ve seen in
a long time, and all I could do was ask about popcorn?
Then again, it’s a small town. I’m likely to see him again.
Aargh. And he’ll remember me as “popcorn man.”
Riley felt a surge of excitement as Tall Guy lined up behind
him in the checkout lane. They chatted about the town and the weather. Riley
admitted that he was new but didn’t mention the gig at the hotel.

3.75 stars
“Silent Partner” by Morgan Brice is part of the Fox Hollow Zodiac series and features Brandon, a wilderness guide, and Riley, a musician, who discover that they are perfect for each other…provided each is willing to share his secrets.
This adult gay paranormal romance features a type of shifter who doesn’t normally get much time in the spotlight, and it was fun to read about him. I love the repartee between Brandon and his moose alter-ego, and I was fascinated by the idea of a psychic nil being peaceful for a telepath to be around. I was a bit disappointed that the suspense and action were resolved a bit quickly and seemed to be secondary to the sex scenes, and I thought the guys got pretty hot and heavy very early in their relationship.
I was happy to see some of the characters from previous stories, and was very happy to be armchair traveling through the vivid descriptions of hiking through snowy weather. Just like his moose, Brandon is a larger-than-life personality, and I was delighted to make his acquaintance. Fox Hollow is a fun place to visit, and I enjoyed seeing other characters from the series.
