Calling All Beta Readers!

   I'm looking for beta readers for two books, both from the same series. The first is m/m, the second is m/f with an aromatic lead. I'm wanting general feedback-- if there are sluggish spots, if I haven't described something well enough. Specifically, I want to know how they work as stand-alones. Contact me through FB Messenger or email (ransan82@gmail.com) if you are interested. Thanks-- Sadie

 Smoke and Sparks

(m/m, contemporary romance)

Couch-surfing is fine for the short term, but what Vaughn really needs is a roommate.

 

Vaughn’s future was mapped out: Attend college in St. Louis. Become a Physical Therapist. Come out to his ultra-religious family after he’s financially stable--and 40-years-old. Getting caught with the pool-boy, however, has put a kink in his plans.

A small-town mechanic from Indiana, Daryl has never met anyone like Vaughn. He’s instantly fascinated by the tall college student in the skinny jeans and open-backed shirt. Vaughn is funny, intelligent—and wears silk underwear. Daryl is instantly smitten.

A temporary job offer moves Daryl to the city and solves Vaughn’s roommate problem. But while their former long-distance friendship has the potential to turn into something more, Vaughn fears he’ll end up heartbroken when Daryl moves back to Indiana. 

The spark between them glows brighter, but will it be smothered before it has a chance to truly ignite? 

 Cinders and Ash

(m/f, contemporary romance)

Lindsey watched her brother fall in love with his perfect man and she was there when her best friend found his. And she’s truly happy for them. But she doesn’t want it for herself.

 

Society expects women to want romance and monogamy, but Lindsey Andrews has no desire for either of these things—she’s quite happy with the occasional hookup. Besides, working towards her Doctorate takes up most of her time. Just because the new maintenance man has broad shoulders and looks good in tight jeans doesn’t mean she’s going to start dreaming of wedding bells.

The job offer as a maintenance manager for an apartment complex in Missouri couldn’t have come at a better time for ranch-hand Brian Ashton. He needed to get away from Wyoming, but trading the wide-open sky for the tall buildings and traffic of St. Louis holds its own challenges. Meeting the caustic, green-haired Lindsey only adds to his stress. But it isn’t all bad, because she needs a fake boyfriend for a camping trip and he needs fresh air.

Neither of them expect the weekend to change everything.

Rainbow Snippets*—Time for a Break

Image
I knew this summer was going to be a challenge, and I wasn't wrong. I've had too many irons in the fire and it's felt like everything has gone a little sideways. No major disasters, but enough to feel like it's two steps forward, a step-and-a-half back. I got home from the Rainbow Readers Cruise last weekend—which was wonderful, by the way—but as per the new normal, I tested positive for Covid. I'm supposed to head to Kansas Wednesday for GRL, so fingers crossed I'm testing negative by then. I'd consider canceling now if I wasn't going as an author, but I decided to take the plunge and "just do it" this year. I have swag and books and preorders. Everyone, send me your good vibes!  Rooster in Key West. It was too hot to do much exploring, but we walked around the market area for a bit.  Posting the opening of Fang for Everything  today. I probably have before, but it's a book I'll have available for sale at GRL, so I'm featuring it a...

Rainbow Snippets*--Breathe

Image
I don't have words for this last week. So I'm just going to leave it at that. I did go spend the night with my daughter and her partner over the weekend (they live 3 hours away). Sometimes you just need your family.  This weekend's snippet comes from Like Cracks in the Sidewalk . It's 1995. James and Val are taking a walk during the early days of their relationship. Told from James' POV: Val's face was smooth, relaxed. I’d not noticed how tense he normally was until he wasn’t. How had I missed that? I ran my thumb across his cheek-bone, forgetting where we were, and tilted my head as I leaned down to kiss him. He parted his lips without any hesitation, drawing me in, and it was sweeter than any kiss in all of history. The birds chirped their song over our head and the wind rustled the leaves, and yet, the only sound I heard was the small moan Val made at the back of his throat as he pressed against me. Every second was magnified and expanded, wrapping us in a bu...

Rainbow Snippets*— Bisexual Awareness Month Featuring Fangs for Everything

Image
It's Bisexual Awareness month, and to celebrate I'm going to snip from my books with bisexual characters. I should have started at the first of the month, but there was traveling, accompanied by Covid. 1 star. I do not recommend! Hopefully, my life is going to become more routine once again.  Snipping from Fangs for Everything Young Rollie doesn't know that Alex is a vampire, and as things heat up, Alex is "explaining" some medical conditions that affect him sexually, as it's their first time being intimate. But Rollie misunderstands and things almost end before they begin. Told from Alex's POV:     “ Y ou’ve done this before, right?” [Rollie asked.] Again, there was that embarrassed flush.  “Had sex? It’s been a while, but I had a girlfriend when I was younger. So, yes?” And that wasn’t a lie, or even the truth stretched.  Rollie stiffened. “Wait! I thought…” He frowned, his thick eyebrows drawing together, and there was an edge o...
