This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Model Ending is for mature adults 18 and over. This is the conclusion of the two part story of Skylar James and Jillian DeMarco. Skylar I saw something in the man they called Jillian DeMarco perhaps before he’d seen it himself. However, that appeared impossible now that I had a chance to meet him and the way I met him. He was strong and beautiful, and sexy as hell. A man who cared too much, and loved too deep. All he wanted was to be loved and he wasn’t until I came into his life. The complications were overwhelming because you see he was married, and I’d promised myself that I’d never fall in love with a married man, that is until I met Jillian, and all my scruples, and ethics were thrown out, when I met the man he’d married and that was when I rationalized about our relationship. However, am I willing to wait forever for this man to be free when I can’t go one day without seeing him, or wanting him near me? Jillian I had been trying to feel something for my husband Kyla, but I’d grown cold because of his demeaning treatment of me, and his unfaithful behavior from the night we were married. When Skylar waltzed into my life and my office, I knew with one look at his pretty sweet face that I’d never want another man again, because I needed him, and I never let him go. Skylar must have thought that I’d lost my mind when I came on to him in my office, and he’d made it clear that there could never be anything between us. I took my marriage vows seriously, and it took a lot to bring me to the point where I wanted out of the marriage, but had I waited too long, and Skylar had become tired. I’m wondering how will he still want me after I’m a free man?” Book one, “A Model Beginning” should be read first, then book two, “A Model Ending” If you discover that there are characters that you want to follow up with such as Stan, Robert and Brandon then go ahead and read the standalone “Extra Virgin.” key words Billionaire Gay Love Gay For the Werewolf Teacher (Gay Mm Love) Gay first time, Gay for you Gay MM love gay Free Contemporary Romance Ebook: Contemporary Erotic Romance: BDSM, Free, New Adult Erotica, Billionaire, Adult, Dominant, Possessive, Alpha Male, First Kiss, HEA, HFN, Love, College, Bad Boy Modern, Millennial, Hot, Passionate, Steamy, Series, Male Protagonist, Main Character, First Person POV, 2020, US, UK, CA, AU, EU, Suspense, Mystery, Nerd, Short Story, Trilogy, Holiday, College, YA, Young Adult, Anthology, Hottest, Authors, Writers, Well written, Popular, Funny, Bestselling, Books, Novels, Ebooks, Paperbacks, Fiction) UK, Au, Ca, gay fiction, mm gay fiction, lgbtq, lgbt UK Gay erotic bdsm short gay key Free Contemporary Romance erotic Ebook: Contemporary Erotic Romance: BDSM, Free, New Adult Erotica, Billionaire erotica MM erorica, Adult, Dominant, Possessive, Alpha Male, First Kiss, HEA, HFN, Love, College, Bad Boy Modern, Millennial, Hot, Passionate, Steamy, Series, Male Protagonist, Main Character, First Person POV, 2019, US, UK, CA, AU, EU, Suspense, Mystery, Nerd, Short Story, Trilogy, Holiday, College, YA, Young Adult, Anthology, Hottest, Authors, Writers, Well written, Popular, Funny, Bestselling, Books, Novels, Ebooks, Paperbacks, Fiction) gay Free, Contemporary Romance Ebook: Contemporary Erotic Romance: LGBT, Free, New Adult Erotica, Gay Billionaire, Adult, Dominant, LGBT Possessive, Gay Alpha Male, First Kiss, Gay HEA, HFN, Love, College, Bad Boy Modern, Millennial, Hot lgbt, Passionate, Steamy, Series, Male Protagonist, Main Character, First Person POV, 2019, US, UK, CA, AU, EU, Suspense, Mystery, Nerd, Short Story, Trilogy, Holiday, College, YA, Young Adult, Anthology, Hottest, Authors, Writers, Well written, Popular, Funny, Bestselling, Books, Novels, Ebooks, Paperbacks, Fiction) UK gay, UK erotic, UK romance, UK LGBT gay Free, gay Contemporary Romance, Ebook: LGBT Contemporary Erotic Romance: LGBT, Free, New Adult LGBT, gay Erotica, Billionaire, Adult, Dominant, Possessive, Alpha Male, First Kiss, HEA, HFN, Love, College, Bad Boy Modern, Millennial, Hot, Passionate, Steamy, Series, Male Protagonist, Main Character, First Person POV, 2019, US, UK, CA, AU, EU, Suspense, Mystery, Nerd, Short Story, Trilogy, Holiday, College, YA, Young Adult, Anthology, Hottest, Authors, Writers, Well written, Popular, Funny, Bestselling, Books, Novels, Ebooks, Paperbacks, gay Fiction, gay erotica, gay love, gay romance, top to bottom

Parker I knew when I received this assignment that I wasn’t serious about it. A wounded vet? Get real. There’s no way in hell I could find anything to say to him other than thank you for your service. Everyone in class thought that assignment of adopting a veteran was a cool idea, so I said, “Whatever,” and threw myself into writing the best letter I could. I included everything I thought a soldier would want to hear who was away from home. I could have just written a simple letter, but being an over achiever, yeah right, that’s why my parents demanded, “Either you go to college, or you’re getting out of here.” That was the main reason I found myself enrolled in college not expecting to ever think about anything but partying, and whatever a gay man did who had no complications in his personal life. Now I’m expected to write letters. WTF. Talking about complicated. Text maybe, but writing letters, get real. That’s above my pay grade. However, I needed to graduate, so I put my heart and soul into those letters, and the results were unexpected. Now that soldier expects to meet a beautiful, thoughtful, and sensual woman. I hate to shatter his heart because I’m anything but that. How do I tell him I’m not a woman? I’m a man and I’m gay.” Book 2 contains straight to gay, hurt comfort, fake boyfriend, and HFN.

Caden: When I first met Grayle Meadows, I made a pass at him, and he said that I was too young. "Come back when you're older, maybe with hair on your chin and chest." He glanced down at the tent in my pants, and smiled. "That too. Then, perhaps we can talk, but if you insist, I could use a friend." A friend? I have lots of friends, I thought. But, with a man like Grayle, I'd take him anyway I could. The next time I met him, he didn't see me. I had changed. I was no longer that twenty-year-old man who had been only a friend to him. My voice had deepened, and I had grown a beard. Now I was twenty-five and he'd forgotten me, but I hadn't forgotten him. Nothing had changed about Grayle Meadows. The only thing I could say was he'd become more handsome and sophisticated since the last I'd seen him. I'd made up my mind that he would be my next love. This time we met on a blind date, and he never even looked into my eyes, and if he had, he'd have known that I would be his only love, because he was indeed mine.

When Solène Marchand, the thirty-nine-year-old owner of a prestigious art gallery in Los Angeles, takes her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band, she does so reluctantly and at her ex-husband’s request. The last thing she expects is to make a connection with one of the members of the world-famous August Moon. But Hayes Campbell is clever, winning, confident, and posh, and the attraction is immediate. That he is all of twenty years old further complicates things. What begins as a series of clandestine trysts quickly evolves into a passionate relationship. It is a journey that spans continents as Solène and Hayes navigate each other’s disparate worlds: from stadium tours to international art fairs to secluded hideaways in Paris and Miami. And for Solène, it is as much a reclaiming of self, as it is a rediscovery of happiness and love. When their romance becomes a viral sensation, and both she and her daughter become the target of rabid fans and an insatiable media, Solène must face how her new status has impacted not only her life, but the lives of those closest to her.

Tommy and Ozzie have been best friends since the second grade, and boyfriends since eighth. They spent countless days dreaming of escaping their small town—and then Tommy vanished. More accurately, he ceased to exist, erased from the minds and memories of everyone who knew him. Everyone except Ozzie. Ozzie doesn’t know how to navigate life without Tommy, and soon he suspects that something else is going on: that the universe is shrinking. When Ozzie is paired up with the reclusive and secretive Calvin for a physics project, it’s hard for him to deny the feelings developing between them, even if he still loves Tommy. But Ozzie knows there isn’t much time left to find Tommy—that once the door closes, it can’t be opened again. And he’s determined to keep it open as long as possible.

Tormenting Jacobs at the same time will just be a bonus. Even if I'm getting confusing feelings toward him, I won't let it hold me back.

Book Boys Love Manga and Beyond

Download or read book Boys Love Manga and Beyond written by Mark McLelland and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boys Love Manga and Beyond looks at a range of literary, artistic and other cultural products that celebrate the beauty of adolescent boys and young men. In Japan, depiction of the “beautiful boy” has long been a romantic and sexualized trope for both sexes and commands a high degree of cultural visibility today across a range of genres from pop music to animation. In recent decades, “Boys Love” (or simply BL) has emerged as a mainstream genre in manga, anime, and games for girls and young women. This genre was first developed in Japan in the early 1970s by a group of female artists who went on to establish themselves as major figures in Japan's manga industry. By the late 1970s many amateur women fans were getting involved in the BL phenomenon by creating and self-publishing homoerotic parodies of established male manga characters and popular media figures. The popularity of these fan-made products, sold and circulated at huge conventions, has led to an increase in the number of commercial titles available. Today, a wide range of products produced both by professionals and amateurs are brought together under the general rubric of “boys love,” and are rapidly gaining an audience throughout Asia and globally. This collection provides the first comprehensive overview in English of the BL phenomenon in Japan, its history and various subgenres and introduces translations of some key Japanese scholarship not otherwise available. Some chapters detail the historical and cultural contexts that helped BL emerge as a significant part of girls' culture in Japan. Others offer important case studies of BL production, consumption, and circulation and explain why BL has become a controversial topic in contemporary Japan.

Book excerpt: GRIFFINI always felt I wasn't wired like my peers, but when my brother, Kellan, gave me three terms-ace, aromantic, and demi-I had possible names for it. Those three words have been on my mind ever since, as has my brother's best friend, Josh Westbrook. It's been cool getting to know him and spending time together, just us. He makes me feel something I never thought I'd be able to feel. When we end up alone in a cabin with only one bed, all my crossed wires finally connect and point toward being demi and wanting him.JOSHGriff and I were never supposed to be more than friends, but I like him more and more. I like being the reason he smiles, and...yeah, I enjoy making him writhe with pleasure too. But Griff doesn't hook up casually, and I swore off love a long time ago. Still, we keep finding ourselves drawn together, a shared loneliness and a deep want guiding us. Kellan's afraid I'll hurt Griff. Frankly, I am too. My past is still an open wound that keeps me from getting too close.One thing is becoming clear, though-my Grumpy Griff is making me break my own rules. He says he's never known his place in the world, but I do. It's with me. The only way for us to move forward is for me to stop looking back...before I lose sight of him for good.
