How Many?

M/M. M/M/F. M/M/M. M/F/M. There are so many different combinations. These are just a few. I have to say though that my favorites are the ones with the men involved with each other. There are some really great M/F/M romances, but those aren’t for me as much. I read them though if I can find a good one. I have one that I’m writing and I’ll admit that it’s fun. I do enjoy M/M/F from time to time. I mean…two men loving each other AND loving a woman and her loving it all? That’s hot. It has to be written right and there are few masters at it. Samantha Kane is one of them though. Lady can write.

My true love is M/M and M/M/M. I mean…Damn y’all. I truly am in love with these men and how they love one another. I am as picky about my M/M reading as I am my M/F reading. I have strong opinions and high standards on the heroines I choose to read. I have the same high standards on the men. I love strength and stubbornness and a willingness to walk away but with a streak of fight. It’s an internal thing I’m looking for in what I read.

I think sometimes the more people you add in a book, the harder it is to see each person as an individual. Three is typically my max. As I mentioned, I’m writing one that’s actually a woman and three brothers. Different for me, but I’m trying hard to make sure they each have a personality strength of their own.

What about you? What’s your favorite dynamic and why?

Here’s a little info about my own upcoming M/M releases. The first one is a M/M/M and will be available October 23rd from Loose Id…
Double Up

Jared and Bryson started their life together by leaving their childhood homes to make their way west. Ending up in a small community near Livingston, Montana, with a small horse ranch, life is just about perfect for the two men until Jared gives Walt, a Native American drifter and horse trainer, a ride.

Sparks fly in the truck cab and when Jared gets him home, Walt finds himself caught between two hot-blooded cowboys, a place he never expected to be and one he doesn’t want to leave. Their idyllic ménage of love and lust hits the skids though when Jared experiences jealousy and fear. He issues an ultimatum to Bryson and Walt…either they leave, or he will.

Hoping Jared will come to his senses with time and space, Bryson and Walt wait. But after three months, Jared hasn’t budged. On his birthday, Bryson and Walt steal into the house they all once shared and wake him with a kiss, a grope, a thrust of hard bodies, and a birthday spanking he will never forget.

Will Jared be able to conquer his doubts and insecurities, or will he lose the only two people who will fight to keep him?

The next one is a M/M romance coming out November 6th from Samhain Publishing. It’s the first in a new series I am in love with call The Bar Next Door. The book is titled Malachi’s Word…

Drunken confessions. Sobering friendship. And two cowboys gambling on love…

The Bar Next Door, Book 1

Could he love me? Malachi has wanted to know the answer since his best friend, Daniel, confessed to being gay. He has never forgotten that long-ago conversation, or the secret hope that another confession would follow: that Daniel is in love with him.

Daniel is—and always has been—in love with Malachi. But how is he supposed to share that information without risking the only friendship that has ever mattered to him? He couldn’t handle it if he were kicked out of Malachi’s life. The best Daniel could do was move home to Texas, buy a little rundown ranch to work outside Austin, and visit the watering hole where Malachi tends bar.

Malachi knows that something heavy is riding his friend and he’s tired of watching Daniel’s downward spiral of too much beer and too many meaningless flings. Enough is enough.

Except, when he gets Daniel home and some strong coffee down his gullet, the truth comes pouring out. A truth that nearly knocks Malachi out of his boots.

Courage like that doesn’t come easy…and Malachi can only pray his answer is enough to turn lifelong friends into forever lovers.

Warning: This little tale tries to contain a gay bar, a lot of beer, a hot cowboy with a pitchfork, another one with a serious addiction to boots and coffee, and a secret yearning between the two for hot blooded, can’t wait to get naked, just leave your boots on sex. Oh, and there are doughnuts…

I hope you’ll pick up both of these and give my men a shot. For answering my question above, I’ll choose from the comments and offer up either Double Up or Malachi’s Word when they become available as well as $10 gift card to your choice of Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
