Reading Across the Genre Spectrum

First things first: a huge thank you to Larissa for having me here today as part of the blog tour for my upcoming Carina Press release, PARADISE FOUND.

Followed by a warning up front: PARADISE FOUND isn't for everyone. It's a gay erotic romance (and right there, I know I've lost a few of you), but it goes further than that. The book is also a ménage (I'm waving goodbye to a few more readers with that one) and it explores some BDSM themes (yikes, there goes the rest of the crowd!).

Anyone still with me? Good! I'll try to make it worth your while.

I'm not going to convince you to give my book a shot if it's not your thing, but I do want to talk about our reading preferences, choices, and habits.

I'm an eclectic reader. If you were to look at my colossal To Be Read mountain, you'd find a wide variety of books. Here's just a small sample of the paperbacks and e-books waiting on my nightstand:

Hot Stuff, by Carly Phillips

Reiffen's Choice, by S.C. Butler

Enchantment, by Kathleen Nance

The Loving Dominant, by John and Libby Warren

Snowball in Hell, by Josh Lanyon

The Mile High Club Anthology from Cleis Press

The Female Brain, by Louann Brizendine Md

Lord of the Rose, by Douglas Niles

The Passion Test, by Janet and Chris Attwood

And again, that's just a small sample. But you see what I mean? I'm all over the board. One day I'll be reading a huge fantasy tome, and the next I'll find myself in the mood for a scorching BDSM threesome, or a psychology textbook. You just never know with me. Neither does my husband, who continually marvels at the stuff I read. He's a big science fiction and fantasy fan, with the occasional foray into men's action adventure, but he stays pretty close within his comfort zone.

I'm interested in hearing from you.

Do you only read in one genre, or do you bounce across a handful?

Do you ever explore different genres?

And if so, what makes you pick up a book that might otherwise be way outside your comfort zone?

If you're still with me -- and a big thank you to those of you who are! -- here's a blurb of PARADISE FOUND, so you know what you're getting into.

 

 

 

 

Paradise is just an illusion…
Or so Philip thinks as he vacations on exotic Anguilla. He should be celebrating the end of law school and the start of his successful career, but he's tired of living a lie for his family's sake. For just one night, he lets down his guard with two men he thinks he'll never see again.

He isn't the only one with secrets. For years, Cameron Drake has suppressed his need for dominance, afraid of hurting his lover, Mark Wilder. But when Cameron's hand meets Philip's ass, there's no more pretending. Mark can't face his conflicting feelings about the ménage; does Cameron want more than Mark can give?

The three of them may have been perfect together but consequences follow them back to their real lives. Will their desire for another encounter shatter the illusions they've built to protect themselves or clear the obstacles to paradise?

PARADISE FOUND will be available at

Carina Press, Amazon,

and other online retailers on June 6.
