Paranormal Romantic Suspense - ménage and M/M interaction
Argonne Forest, October 1918 and New York City, New York, 1923
There’ve been a lot of bad things happening in New York since the
war ended and the recent murders of three people with connections to
a speakeasy owned by Miss MaeBelle, a mysterious and beautiful
woman, are chief among them. Ned, the bouncer and doorman, is afraid
he knows who’s committed these terrible acts, his chief suspect?
Himself. As a were, his memory of the things he does while Changed
is sometimes sketchy at best. Could Ned be the killer, and if he is,
what will MaeBelle’s new hired gun, Frank, do when he figures it
out?
One
thing Ned doesn’t expect is Frank’s proposition to spend some time
enjoying hot and heavy sex, and then there’s MaeBelle’s unexpected
interest to deal with as well. Could these three people spend the
Roaring Twenties finding satisfaction in all its forms, or will
their unexpected relationship end in horror?
With
three very different and challenging people as the central
characters, CARRY ON leads readers on an exciting ride to catch a
killer and vicariously enjoy some very hot sex at the same time.
MaeBelle is an American raised abroad by her father. Her mother
disappeared when she was a child and her other relatives are
unknown, though a few have popped up over the course of her life.
Flirty and fun, she’s a determined woman who isn’t about to shrink
from her desire for Ned and Frank. Ned is gay, always has been,
always will be. So why then is he so drawn to MaeBelle? It’s
possible he just hasn’t found the right woman until now, but with
his future so uncertain and his recent activities possibly so very
violent, how can he expect her, or Frank, to want to spend any time
with him? Frank is as cold-blooded as they come, except in the sack.
That’s the one place this scarred ex-soldier can allow himself to
feel human emotion. Basically he considers himself to be a dead man,
and how can a dead man love? With the odds stacked against them,
this trio faces an uphill climb to find a future where peace and
love could reign.
There
are very few secondary characters of importance to mention, but here
are the ones you’ll want to remember. Clara is MaeBelle’s cook and
let me tell you, the woman doesn’t miss much, if you’ve got a
question, ask her. Jake’s a college boy with a penchant for drinking
too much and a yen to make MaeBelle see that he’s the only man for
her. Harry is a whip-thin street kid who’s welcomed into the kitchen
by Clara (and pointed in that direction by Ned). Aggie is MaeBelle’s
companion and protector, brought back to the United States with her
after the war, she isn’t exactly a friendly woman but she is
dedicated. And how would a speakeasy get by without a cop on the
payroll? Mahoney is the man MaeBelle pays to ensure that her
business is left alone.
If you
like Treva Harte’s Alpha series, then you’re probably going
to enjoy this book as well, though it’s a departure from the norm
what with the historical setting and the mystery driving the book.
If you’ve never read any of the Alpha books, then you’re in
luck, as this story is very much a standalone read. If you like your
sex rough and ready, and mysteries are your thing, then be sure to
stop by Loose Id and get your copy of CARRY ON today.
