Blurb:
Tobias tells himself he's having fun. He has a great
life as a beta in the Cloverleah Pack, and while danger still threatens the
pack, he has his friend's wedding to look forward to, and the pleasures that
come from hookups in random places. He'd like to meet his mate, just so he's
not the odd one out in the inner circle, but it's not something he's expecting
anytime soon. So when a hookup just before the wedding leaves Tobias with a
permanent scar, he wonders where the heck his life went wrong.
Especially when
the man responsible for the wicked set of tooth marks, disappeared after the
deed was done, to ring a man called Kurt.
Kurt and Luke have been mated for three years. As bear
shifters, Kurt has known from puberty that he will have two mates and once he'd
claimed Luke, his mama warned him to be on the look out for a human female. So
when Luke rings him and lets him know he might have accidentally on purpose
bitten a wolf shifter, from some town they'd never heard of, Kurt heads to
Cloverleah to sort out the mess.
Sorting out their mating is just one of the things the
three men have to contend with. A magic user has stepped up his game and
nowhere on pack lands seems safe. When Tobias gets taken, Kurt and Luke are
helpless to do anything about it. It's going to take the power of the pack
before life will be safe again, for any of them.
Warning: Contains scenes of M/M and M/M/M sex. It also
contains a special kind of bear, his grumpy mate, and a wolf that just wants to
be loved. HEA and no cheating guaranteed.
While this book can be read as standalone, you will
understand more about the secondary characters in the book, if you have read
the others in the series.

Excerpt:
“I’m
too sexy for my shirt…” Kurt’s
ring tone. Luke could hear the tinny tune, but it seemed like the sound was
coming from outside. Leaping out of the truck, he glared at the trash can, now
filled with his rubbish, before tipping the thing upside down, flailing his
arms through the boxes and papers. There, on the ground. Thank the Fates. Luke
sank his butt to the ground, tapping madly on the screen.
“Kurt, oh my god, Kurt….”
“Little bear, is everything okay? I sensed your
distress. Are you hurt? Where are you?”
Luke breathed a sigh of relief, Kurt’s deep voice
making the world seem like a more manageable place again. “I’m just outside of
a tiny town, Cloverleah, I think it’s called. But Kurt, I found him, at least I
think it was him, because I got hard, and he felt so good, and I just wanted to
rub all over his sexy body, and when he came…”
“Luke. Stop. Focus.”
Focus. Kurt was right. Luke knew he had a tendency to
run on about things.
“I’m sorry,” he said in a small voice.
“I’m not angry, little bear,” and Luke could tell that
he wasn’t. Kurt never got angry with him, even that time when he thought he
could microwave an entire jar full of honey so it would soften, and forgot that
the jar had a metal lid.
“Now start again, from the beginning. You met someone
who made your cock hard?”
Luke took in a deep breath, his cock hardening again.
“Yes.”
“And then what happened?”
“He was in the shower, here at the truck stop. He was
fondling his pretty cock, and his body was slim but muscled and the water was
just streaming down, and my cock was so hard I thought it would burst out of my
pants, so I took them off, because it hurt, you know. And I don’t think he
heard me, but I just had to grab him, and then…”
“Breathe little bear.” Yeah, that probably would be a good idea. Luke took in a deep
breath and let it out slowly.
“That’s good, babe, now, I presume you got in the
shower with him.”
“Yes, but I took my clothes off first.” Luke
remembered that Kurt wouldn’t like the idea of him wandering around wearing wet
clothes. He did tend to forget things like that sometimes, especially if the
salmon were running.
“That’s good, so then what happened? You grabbed him.
Did you frighten him?”
“No!” Luke stared at the phone, wishing Kurt could see
his face. He never intentionally frightened anyone, except that one time, and
that was the night Kurt came and saved him…
“Don’t let your mind wander.” Kurt knew him so well.
“I didn’t frighten him, he leaned on me, and he let me
play with him, and his cock just fit in my hand, and he smelled so good, like
honey and chocolate all melted together even with the bleach stink, and I
couldn’t help myself, his ass was right there…”
“He let you have sex with him?”
“I didn’t want to do that without you there. I just
rubbed on him lots, and with the water and the smell, and when his cock spurted
out…”
“I get the picture, little bear and it’s all right.”
“So he must be our mate, right?” Kurt wasn’t upset
with him, that was the main thing.
“You would’ve gotten sick, and you definitely wouldn’t
get a hard on with anyone else but our mate – I’ve told you that before. So
yes, the man is our mate. Unexpected, but there’s no other explanation.” Kurt
sounded so confident and Luke sighed and smiled, even though he knew Kurt
couldn’t see him. Kurt knew about so much, and he would make sure everything
was okay.
“Where is the man now and what’s his name?”
Oops. “I don’t know what his name is,” Luke yelled as
he leaped up, leaving the rubbish on the ground, and his truck unlocked. “I
left him in the bathroom.” Shit, had he been too long, was the sexy man still
there? Maybe the wolf had got upset with him. He pounded towards the bathroom
and flung open the door, but of course the room was empty, nothing but a towel
tossed on the floor to indicate the room had even been used.

If you could write with any other author who would it be and
why?
I have so many favorite authors, it would be hard to choose just
one. I am a huge fan of Stormy Glenn and Maggie Walsh, Charlie Richards and
Sean Michael, but if I had to write with another author then I would pick
Sandrine Gasq Dion – her Assassin series and her Twelve Olympians series are
awesome and she writes action sequences better than me. If I was going to write
non-shifter (and that probably won’t happen) I would choose A.E. Vie – I love
her books because her men are men and they act like it.
If you could join a character on an adventure, which character
and what would the adventure be?
I’d love to go for a trip – maybe on a bike ride with the
Cloverleah Pack – we could just travel around and I would get a chance to see
small town America. That would be a
dream come true.
If money were no object - where would you live in the world and
why?
I would own a gay biker bar in somewhere out of the way in rural
America. It would be quiet, peaceful so I could get some writing done, and when
I did get customers I would have inspiration right in front of me.
Favorite kind of underwear for characters and non-favorites.
My characters don’t usually wear underwear – they’re all
shifters so they tend to stay underwear free so that they have less clothes to
take off when they want to shift. Although Adair, from the Cloverleah pack does
love his boy shorts, and Terry from the Alpha and Omega series did have a thing
for lacy undergarments.
What do you view as weak points in a character and wouldn't
include them in the characters you write about. What are the strong points you
always try and include.
I do have rules for my characters and I don’t break them. None
of my characters cheat on their partners, they are always honest and I don’t
ever write about someone who has drug or alcohol abuse problems. I see all of
those things as weaknesses even though I am aware that addictions are more of
an illness. But I won’t write about that type of thing at all.
On the positive side, even my smallest men have strength and an
underlying theme in all of my books is that the size of a man doesn’t determine
his strength. Although that is only lightly touched on in Tangling with Bears,
it is a common theme in my Alpha and Omega series. I also believe that love is
a journey, that insta-lust is possible, but that love needs to be worked for.
My characters embody all of those ideas in every book.
