Can you remember what you were reading last month or back at Christmastime? Probably not. With the number of books being published, it seems after only a week or a month most of them fade out of our consciousness. If we don’t buy it immediately, chances are we’ll forget because something new and shiny distracts us.
The Backlist Bloghop is a great way for authors and readers to take a step back in time and focus on a few older titles that have faded into obscurity. But that doesn’t meant they aren’t worth reading!
If you haven’t met me before, I write gay romance and I have a few personal favorite books I’d like to share with you, in case you missed them the first time around.
Leave a comment with your favorite cover from my backlist and you can win any book off the list (1 book prize awarded per 10 comments left on this blog). I’ll also throw in a $10 Amazon Gift Card for one lucky winner. Prizes to be awarded June 3, after 6pm Pacific Time.
Hostile Takeover is a friends-to-lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers story. And it features two smoking Olympic fencers. Have I got your interest yet? I hope so. Here’s the blurb:
Years ago, Chase Richards and Mathias Tobler fell in love while training for the US Olympic fencing team. Afterward, they even attended the same business school so they could be together. Then Chase left Mathias alone and heartbroken in Italy. But all of that is ancient history by the time Chase thunders back into Mathias’s safe, settled life with a business deal.
There’s no way Mathias is going to do business with Chase. He spent nine years picking up the pieces and has moved on in life—and love. But Chase won’t give up without a fight. If Mathias wants to save it, he’ll have to face off against Chase over crossed sabers.
Chase has a reputation as an unscrupulous corporate raider, and he must win Mathias back—by any means necessary—before he gives his heart to someone else. But how does a cold-blooded corporate raider convince the man he loves that his heart really isn’t made of stone? (Learn more)
Is the weather heating up where you live? You might want to cool down with some creamy delicious ice cream. The first book in my food-centric Delectable series features a sexy ice cream artisan and the food writer who’s found more than a delicious new taste to savor. If only exes and competitors with a grudge weren’t trying to keep these two apart. (Learn more)
If you happen to live in the chilly Southern Hemisphere or you’re ready for a holiday romance set on a steamy tropical island, you deserve A Christmas Bonus. Two Wall Street corporate finance guys are thrown together and have to pretend to be a couple in order to complete a tricky buyout deal that might save thousands of people from losing their jobs. These are not your one-percenters; these guys aren’t in it for the bucks. It’s set on Taha’a, an island near Tahiti and the sex is as sizzling as the weather. (Learn more)

Hostile Takeover is by far my favorite cover of yours. I love fencing. It is an incredibly sexy sport in my opinion and I love the view of the man in the suit from the back. Its a really great cover!
I really like Rarer than Rubies, it just grabs my attention! Thank you for the chance to enter! wendynjason04 at gmail dot com
My favorite cover is “Brand New Flavor.” It’s just so delicious. 🙂
Can’t resist the ice cream and boys on the BRAND NEW FLAVOR cover, but VENUS ENVY and ITALIAN ICE are very evocative, too!
Definitely Hostile Takeover! Please count me in

I’d have to say A Lesser Evil would be my favorite. I also really like Italian Ice, Hostile Takeover, and Disguises.
I really like Brand New Flavor, I am a sucker for covers with food on them! Jason.jacobs47 at gmail dot com
Hostile takeover is my favourite cover – I really like good black and white things
A Lesser Evil, for sure! Good type, nice layout, skilled PhotoShoppin! Plus, Venice.

Many great covers to choose from, but I would choose Brand New Flavor due to the scrumptious ice cream filled waffle bowl. Sweets are my downfall.

I like the cover of Hostile takeover. Very eye-catching!

ooh yeah… ahh! I have so many titles that I put on my “wishlist” that I’ve completely forgotten about… and when I go back I fall all over again for the blurb and so desperately want to read them, only by then, I’ve already spent my book stash on the newer ones! LOL…
My favorite cover is the one for Italian Ice.
Thanks for being a part of this awesome hop!!

My favorite cover is Hostile Takeover.
It’s hard to believe that someone’s backlist becomes forgotten when there really are great stories there. As soon as I find a new author, I’m delighted to plunge into their backlist (that sounds so dirty!) and get caught up on their wonderful stories.
Rarer than Rubies has to be my favorite, followed by Italian Ice, probably one of the reasons I bought them, besides the intriguing blurbs and excerpts once I read about them. Thanks so much for the chance to win!

I sent an email, but just in case you didn’t get it, may I have Brand New Flavor in epub, please. Thank you so much!
I have to say it’s a tie between A Lesser Evil, Lighting the Way Home, and Italian Ice.

I hope I’m not too late. I love the cover of Hostile Takeover. It’s one the reasons I bought it and I’m glad I did. I also really love Italian Ice. If I don’t win I put a few more on my to-buy list. Thanks!
Congrats, Maya. You made it in just under the wire, but you must have a good luck charm.
