I have the awesome Tamsin Baker on my blog today with her new release, Knowing Destiny. This is patiently waiting for me find some time to read it, but I just know I'm going to love it.
Take a peek.
Blurb:
Chase, a golden eagle shifter, is destined to be the leader
of his flock, the shifters of the air. But he has a few problems. He’s not
ready for the responsibility, he isn’t sure who he wants as his mate and
there’s the little issue of an unsolved killing to sort out.
Ben is also a golden eagle shifter, Chase’s best friend and
three time lover. He wants to be his best friend’s mate, but can he be honest
about his feelings?
Ariana is a young peregrine falcon shifter who has loved
Chase for years. But why would he want her when he can have anyone he wants?
Three shifters, three separate problems, all fighting to
find out who they are and how they can love each other.
Excerpt:
Ben
showered and dressed quickly. What was he going to say?
“You’re
going to be honest, just once, and then forget about it.”
Ben
closed up his house and made his way to Chase’s place. He couldn’t live like
this anymore, on tenterhooks every day, wondering what Chase was thinking, how
he was feeling. Wanting to tell Chase he loved him, but not knowing how.
He
had never felt so impotent in his life. But it was time to end that. He would
finally admit all to Chase and live with the consequences. Today was the last
day he was going to feel like this.
He
jogged up the stairs and knocked on the door. “Hey, Chase, you home?”
His
best friend opened the door, jeans on, but nothing on his gorgeous chest or
feet.
“Hey,
yeah. Come on in.”
Ben’s
cock swelled within his jeans. His instant attraction to this man frustrated
him, and he burst into Chase’s house.
“How
did last night go?”
Chase
pushed the door closed and frowned as he walked forward. “It went really well.
What’s up, Ben?”
Ben
clenched his fists tighter then opened them by force. Calm, he needed to stay
focused.
“So,
Ariana is it for you? You’ll mate with her?”
He
began to pace, nervous energy working through his system and turning into
anger. How could he have missed his chance to be with Chase?
Chase
walked closer warily, approaching him how one would move towards an injured and
angry bird. Chase had almost reached him now, and his brow knitted together.
“Well, we’ve only had one night together, and she’s still at Uni, but yeah. I
think so.”
Pain
broke through Ben’s chest, making it feel like his ribs were being split open.
He
stopped and gasped, putting a hand to his heart.
“Ben,
seriously, what’s wrong?”
Ben
growled and began pacing again. He couldn’t stay still, and if Chase touched
him, he would surely scream.
“I
don’t know how to tell you this. I’ve been wanting to talk to you for months,
and it looks like I’ve run out of time.”
Inevitability
settled into Ben’s mind, and he knew this was it.
Chase’s
face was wary, his tone of voice gentle when he spoke. “What had you been
wanting to tell me, Ben?”
Ben
looked at him, his belly tight with worry. “I need to tell you ... that I...”
Ben
stumbled over the words. How did you tell your male best friend that you were
in love with him?
Chase
leaned back against the wall and crossed his arms, that smug grin firmly in
place. “If you’re going to tell me you want Ariana, too, then you’re going to
have a fight on your hands.”
Ben
clenched his fists, anger boiling up inside him. He opened his mouth and
screamed at the man he had loved for a decade.
“I
don’t want Ariana! I fucking want you! Don’t you get it? I don’t want to be
your best friend who you fucked when you were drunk! I want to be your mate,
too!”
Chase’s
mouth dropped open, and his eyes widened. Then his eyes turned yellow, and he
took a step forward. His huge hands reached for Ben, cupping his face and
drawing it to his mouth.
Ben
groaned and grabbed Chase about the waist, hauling his huge male into his body,
absorbing Chase’s moan and squeezing his arse.
He
pulled back and grabbed Chase’s jean-covered arse. “I want you.”
He
stared at the man he wanted above all else waiting for a sign that Chase felt
the same.
“I...”
Chase cleared his throat. “I want you, too,” Chase said, the words gravelly.
Ben
dropped to his knees and unbuttoned Chase’s jeans in a hurry. He had never done
this for his lover, their previous intimacies brief with almost no foreplay.
Now, he could think of no other way to brand Chase as his own. His powerful
eagle was close to the surface.
He
opened up Chase’s jean placket, and his cock sprang out, pointing directly to
Ben’s mouth. Thick, heavy, red, and swollen.
God, it’s beautiful.
He
wrapped his hand around the base and looked up at his man.
“I
want to suck you so bad.”
He
waited, wanting the confirmation that Chase wanted it, too.
His
mate didn’t respond with words, but slid his fingers into Ben’s short hair and
pulled him closer. That was all the permission he needed.
Ben
smiled as he licked the tip. Yum.
“Chase
... are you here?” Ariana’s voice shocked them both, and Ben turned his head,
ready to jump up.
But
he was already too late. She wasn’t coming in. She was already here.
Tamsin Bio:
Tamsin
Baker is an Aussie girl who just discovered erotic romance ten months ago.
Before that, she would read sexy romance, skipping the plot and looking for the
all the naughty bits. Since then, she has written erotic romance and erotica
novels of varying length and has had fourteen published (so far!). She
absolutely loves reading and writing!
She has two other jobs, including kids and a hubby too – but writing is a
passion that she has to indulge for fear of insanity.
M/M
is a passion of hers so even when she writes ménage, there is always an M/M
story. She particularly enjoys writing female dommes, but she loves
experimenting in all genres. Tamsin is learning to write and read more one step
at a time. Soon, she’ll have stories published in every sub-genre of erotic
romance – well that’s her aim anyway!
