Promo image for the book "Distance & Dragons" by Dominic N. Ashen, showing an expanded image fo the book's cover and featuring the following text: "Khazak and David have been together for three months now, and seemingly nothing can keep them apart. Now that they've finally reached Manamequohi, they can start to find the answers they seek. Or at least that was the plan. Maname is a big city, filled with all sorts of magic—from its people to the items for sale. In other words, a tantalizing target for a mysterious necromancer. Separated by their circumstances, David and Khazak must fight their way back to each other, no matter the distance."

Ours: Young, Dumb, and Full of Bad Decisions #1

Cory is your average nerd, aside from being gay, closeted, and into some pretty kinky stuff. But with college right around the corner, his secret is safe…

Until his two best friends find out and decide to take advantage of the situation.

The promo reads: "Cory is just your average 18-year-old nerd who plays video games and reads comic books. Well, mostly average - he’s also gay, in the closet, and into some pretty kinky stuff. But with college right around the corner, he figures his secret is safe… Right?

I had SO MUCH FUN last weekend! I swear Smut Lovers gets better every year. I think I mentioned it earlier, but I had MULTIPLE people come up to tell me they already had and loved my books, and were there specifically to buy what they hadn't read yet! Already booked my table for next year!

Like, could these AI-using chucklefuck scam artists at least put in the BARE MINIMUM amount of effort before sending me this bullshit?

Tuesday-reviewsday! This one comes from Rachel Emily on Amazon, and lists a lot of things that she loves about Arenas & Monsters - which you'll probably love too if you gave it a read!

#booksky
A five-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "Arenas & Monsters," written by Rachel Emily on Amazon.com. The review reads: "I absolutely love this world that the author has created. It's fun, sexy, rich in fantasy vibes, great characters and a D&D feel but just add in kinky orcs and steam... I love the world building and the continued expansion of the storytelling. And I just love Khazak and David together so, so much. This truly is an under appreciated series that I want more people to get on their radar!"

We are greatly outnumbered, and I can already see some of the other guards locking cuffs onto the incapacitated Briars. After sharing a look and seeing we have no other choice, the three of us obey the man’s order, dropping our weapons and raising our arms.

As soon as he has his armor off, David flops face first onto the bed, groaning in pleasure at the soft fabric underneath him.

“Do not get too comfortable,” I warn him with a chuckle.

“Bedroom and strip.” I’m given the three-word order before my mouth is captured in a hungry kiss.

I’m moving as soon as I’m released, pulling my shirt off on my way down the hall.

A five-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "The Crown and the Collar," written by David Branson on Goodreads. The review reads: "Not only a hot werewolf/human dom/sub story, but lots of palace intrigue, and I'm eager to read more! There's a lot of awesome worldbuilding in this book too, and I hope we will see the first sequel soon! (And/or prequels?)"

The first *smack* against my ass really throws me, and I cry out more in surprise than pain. He’s spanking me?! The second smack quickly proves me right and my hands, tied as they are, are fruitless to block any further blows. I haven't been spanked since I was a kid!

The Crown and the Collar

Living on a farm, Peter used to daydream about a different life. So when Prince Blackwood comes in and sweeps him off his feet, how could he say no?

But they say the prince's bite is worse than his bark...

A promotional image for the book "The Crown and the Collar" by Dominic N. Ashen, showing a werewolf in a forest holding an unconcious man with a golden collar around his neck. The promo reads: "Peter grew up working on his family’s farm, but life in Weston can be a little boring at times. So imagine his surprise when the crown prince of Litkalaa sweeps him off his feet and makes him an offer he can’t refuse: wear his collar and become the next royal consort. Easy choice, right? Of course, that means moving into the castle and joining the royal werewolf pack. And they say the prince’s bite is worse than his bark..."

Late review for you this week, this time from Emma Collins on Goodreads!

I was trying to write something that felt both familiar (prince sweeping a peasent off his feet) and different (that prince and his family are all werewolves).

Emma's full review:
www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

#booksky
A five-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "The Crown and the Collar." The review was written by Emma Collins on Goodreads, and reads: "This book was a delightful mix of fantasy, romance, and intrigue, with an engaging storyline that kept me hooked from start to finish ... The setting of Litkalaa is richly described, blending the simplicity of rural life with the grandeur of royal intrigue. The addition of werewolves and the subtle exploration of BDSM themes added a unique flavor to the story, though it’s tastefully done and never feels gratuitous."

Goddamnit. Dolly AND Tim, back to back? Wrong 80 year olds, Death.

Is there something about being evil that makes people immortal?

When *it* finally happens, I'm throwing a week-long party.

I leave the town, running all the way back up the dirt road. I’m winded by the time I make it back to the farm and realize with a grimace that I’m also sweaty. Maybe I’ll have time to change?

Everyone is still in the living room, waiting for me when I enter, out of breath.
