Dating never appealed to him when he would rather spend a night at home. Despite his friend’s best intentions for Cameron to find a hookup for the night, he stayed at the bar as he nursed a beer. And that’s when Cameron spotted him and everything he knew evaporated with one look.
Rylan Ellis wanted one night out without complications. To forget about his overwhelming responsibilities and stress at home. He loved to lose himself in the music and ignore everyone around him. But when he happened a glance at the bar and spotted the tall, broad, and sexy-as-sin man, he felt drawn to him.

Although friends since childhood, Ethan vowed to keep his feelings for Sebastian under wraps and live the rest of his life with this one secret between them.

Ethan Sutton had come to the stunning revelation that he’d fallen in love with his best friend, Sebastian Young. Although friends since childhood, Ethan vowed to keep his feelings for Sebastian under wraps and live the rest of his life with this one secret between them rather than risk a lifelong connection and never see him again. But when they move into their own apartment at the start of their third year of college, can Ethan keep his feelings from showing when they live so close together?
Sebastian Young had an epiphany about Ethan at the end of last year and arranged for the shared apartment he’d found over the summer to be closer to Ethan and see if a relationship could develop between them. But as they settle into their lives in a new place with such close quarters, ex-girlfriends, nosy downstairs neighbors, and Sebastian’s own doubts, their relationship could be in jeopardy before it even begins.
Can two best friends admit their feelings and fall in love?
Ethan realized falling in love with his best friend had been easy. Keeping his feelings a secret from Sebastian as they move into a one-bedroom loft and deal with decisions from their past might prove a bit more difficult.
Why did you write this book?
I loved the idea of two close friends who develop feelings for one another, but they are afraid of ruining their friendship, so they keep their feelings to themselves.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Romance in general, Gay Romance in particular.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I don’t really have one. I could say Elizabeth Bennet, but every time I read a book, they become my favorite character for a while.
What are you working on at the moment?
Another book in my Dark Assassins series. Jade.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I am working on my second full-length M/M novel, Unintended, in the Unexpected Series. I am also working on the start of another New Adult M/M series.Where to buy Fall for You

Xander (A Dark Assassin Novel #3) by Valerie Ullmer @valerieullmer #RLFblog #PNR
Welcome Valerie Ullmer author of Xander (A Dark Assassins Novel Book There), a new Paranormal Romance.Why did you write this book?
I love creating the world of the Dark Assassins and Xander was the only one who truly believed in finding a mate, even before Kai had found Liv, the first of the assassins to find his mate. I love how each of them, although tough and bad in their own way, are sensitive and fall in love deeply.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love romance. It depends on my mood, but generally contemporary and paranormal romance.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I love Elizabeth Bennet. She can admit when she’s wrong and her love story with Darcy is nearly perfect!
What are you working on at the moment?
I am working on two novellas, both in the M/M contemporary romance genre. One for a boxed set and one that is a continuation of a relationship in my first M/M release, Unexpected.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Well, the novella in my Unexpected series will be released at the end of September and Jade, the fourth book in my Dark Assassins series, is going to be released in October.
Please tell us about your latest book.
Half-human, half-shifter.Xander has secretly yearned for a mate for most of his immortal existence, and yet after three of his friends found exactly what he’s always wanted, he’d come to believe that he’d missed his chance at happiness.
Until he heard her voice.
Frost is a wildlife biologist and tracker and she has been assigned, despite her adamant protests, to lead mercenaries into the mountains of Snowfall, Colorado for the sole purpose of killing immortal shifters. In order to protect those who have no idea the kind of danger they are in, she agrees. As she leads the armed men on a wild chase around the snow-covered pines, she could sense that she was running out of time.
Until she heard his voice.
Xander understands exactly who Frost is the moment he hears her thoughts. With the help of Kane and Gunnar, they eliminate those in her group as they try to keep her safe. But during the fight, she is hurt and all of his protective instincts flare to life. As Xander learns more about her, he realizes that Frost might be the key to the creation of the immortals, both vampire and shifter.
But when she becomes a target from those who want to destroy the Dark Company and Xander’s family, how far will he go to save her?
