A Heart-pounding #erotic #legalthriller

April 10, 2015 By Brandon Leave a Comment

mm romance, gay romance3 Chicks After Dark gives 5 Bad Ass Stilettos to Episode 5 of the Love of Wicked Men

“Heart-pounding action in this episode of The Love of Wicked Men! The twists and turns keep on as well as the deceit. It’s hard to know who is being played and what side people are on. If you love the thrill of suspense and the intrigue of a well-played game of corporate greed, this series won’t disappoint.

There’s so much going on in this episode, a true thriller from the first to the last page. With all the surprises and reveals, I can’t wait to see how it all wraps up in the next and final episode.”

Author of the Month!

March 28, 2015 By Brandon 1 Comment

I’ve been voted Author of the Month for April over on the MM Romance Goodreads group for an author with over 10 books.  I just wanted to say a very big THANK YOU to all those who voted.

If you’ve never read my erotic romance books before, I’ve got a freebie to start you out. Or my fans almost always recommend Afflicted as a first read.

Upcoming Books from Brandon Shire

March 2, 2015 By Brandon 3 Comments

Readers continually ask: What are you working on next? But I’m always a little cautious about building expectations because I never know what my crazy schedule will allow. However, if you keep up with our group on Goodreads, you can get involved in the conversation about each book as it develops (and you’ll meet some really cool people too).

So here goes. In no particular order, these are my current works in progress. Note that I’m also  in the process of finishing up season one of  The Love of Wicked Men. Publication dates and cover art haven’t been determined yet.

The Suggestion of Sex

Status: Working
Genre: MM Romance, Erotic

Keylan Milles is just about to turn eighteen. His father is a tech tycoon, but he’s about to lose everything and doesn’t know how to tell his son. Damon Creed, a billionaire, offers to bail Mr. Milles out, but has one condition – the virginity of his son on the day he turns 18. [Read more…] about Upcoming Books from Brandon Shire

Love, being difficult – Valentine’s Day Blog Hop

February 9, 2015 By Brandon 4 Comments

Valentine's blog hop lgbt romance

To love is good, too: love being difficult. For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. ~Rilke

Wicked Men - gay romanceLove is love, but some people don’t know how to handle love. It’s a fact. They have ideas, thoughts, dreams and hopes, but actual love… Well, that’s pretty terrifying in the light of day.

Take two people, strip them emotionally naked, and they’ll usually run from each other instead of toward one another. I know, most romance books will tell you the opposite (it’s why I get so annoyed with the genre), but the sad fact is that, in reality, we often let the scars of our past haunt the dreams of our possible futures. Our actions aren’t motivated by what we desire most, but by what we fear most. [Read more…] about Love, being difficult – Valentine’s Day Blog Hop

5000 Copies Sold! – Afflicted

February 6, 2015 By Brandon Leave a Comment

5000 copies sold

Just hit a milestone and I wanted to say a special thanks to all those who have purchased a copy of Afflicted. Book 2 of the series is not far behind as far as sales go, and this means I must now start working on book three.

I know some of the more ardent fans will ask, so let me say up front that I don’t know when #3 will come out. I have a lot on my plate at the moment, but book three is officially in the works. I’ll keep you updated in the Goodreads group. Feel free to join in the conversation about Dillion and Hunter and where you would like to see them go.

Again, thanks so much!
