This week's latest releases:
Brute by Kim Fielding
Length: Novel | Genre: High Fantasy
Brute
leads a lonely life in a world where magic is commonplace. He is seven and a
half feet of ugly, and of disreputable descent. No one, including Brute,
expects him to be more than a laborer. But heroes come in all shapes and sizes,
and when he is maimed while rescuing a prince, Brute’s life changes abruptly.
He is summoned to serve at the palace in Tellomer as a guard for a single
prisoner. It sounds easy but turns out to be the challenge of his life.
Rumors say the prisoner, Gray Leynham, is a witch
and a traitor. What is certain is that he has spent years in misery: blind,
chained, and rendered nearly mute by an extreme stutter. And he dreams of
people’s deaths—dreams that come true.
As Brute becomes accustomed to palace life and gets
to know Gray, he discovers his own worth, first as a friend and a man and then
as a lover. But Brute also learns heroes sometimes face difficult choices and
that doing what is right can bring danger of its own.
An Isolated Range by Andrew Grey
Stories from the Range, Book 5
Length: Novel | Genre: Western
Marty Green has two loves in life: horses and
basketball. But suffering a stroke during his first college game throws a
wrench in his plans. After months spent in the hospital, recuperating under the
zealous care of his overprotective parents, Marty realizes he needs to be on
his own, so when he’s offered a job at a ranch owned by his doctor's good
friend, he takes it.
When veterinary assistant Quinn Knepper sees Marty
for the first time, his heart nearly stops. He's smitten, and Marty appears
interested though shy. There are just two problems: Quinn's father wants him to
hide his sexuality from the world, and Marty’s Wyoming Senator father is a
homophobe with no idea his son is gay—which Quinn learns when the senator
proposes an amendment banning gay marriage.
Dealing with two unsupportive families is a heavy
burden, but Quinn vows to make it work. Unfortunately, that may mean putting
his life on hold while Marty overcomes his emotional isolation—unless, of
course, Marty sacrifices his happiness to his father’s political ambition and
ends the relationship before it gets started.

miserable. He's not accustomed to being alone, not after seven years.
Eventually Ben finds his lover's new address and sends him a greeting card
asking when he'll come back home—only to learn in the returned correspondence
that his card reached the wrong address and another man, Jason Prescott, by
mistake.
Jason is
touched by Ben's appeal to his lover, and he and Ben spend months growing close
as pen pals. Frequently exchanged correspondence turns into weekends spent
together, but after learning Jason's working on his second master's degree and
is even smarter than Ben's ex, Ben wonders if Jason will be able to love
someone as ordinary as he is.

shifter, and asks a lot of questions.
Glenn hates the Knights and worries about the

his family before. On the other hand, this is his chance to convert an enemy,
and some instinct tells him Hunter won’t betray him.
Soon Hunter sees the Knights for the monsters they
are. When his time is up, he leaves the herd to protect Glenn. But Glenn is
determined not to lose the man he has come to love and respect to the Knights'
cruel campaign.
