I admit I'm not much into Manga but I am into Male/Male fiction. I love putting two men together and seeing the fireworks. This week I was honored to be entrusted with the release of IRM's first ever anthology, Hot Summer Fun. 10 authors came together to create 10 wonderful stories with the central theme of summer. It's fun, flirty, fierce in some spots and very much full of sex. Here's a little tidbit from Hot Summer Fun and Working Stiff. I hope you enjoy.
Remember to leave a comment to be entered to win an ecopy of one of my Sara York books.
Excerpt from Working Stiff.
Zach reached out and grabbed Josh’s arm, halting
Josh’s steps. He didn’t breathe, didn’t move. He didn’t turn to look at Zach
for fear of what he would find. Finally, after a long moment of both of them
standing silently together, Zach’s hand burning where he’d made contact, Josh
slid his gaze toward Zach, their eyes locked, and it felt as though the ground
shook. Zach’s dark stare spoke of lust and wild times--and sex.
Josh gazed into Zach’s eyes, searching for something
to grasp onto, a small flicker of deception to indicate Zach didn’t care, or
maybe a bit of teasing, or something else, like revile or hate, but he didn’t
see any of that. Instead, carnal desire stared back at him, leaving Josh unsure
which would be worse, going home not knowing how sweet Zach’s lips tasted or
turning and brushing his mouth over Zach’s lush lips.
A bird cawed above and the sounds of animals in the
trees around them broke the silence but neither of them moved. Heat grew
between them, leaving Josh with a boner that wouldn’t be tamed by the loose
shorts he wore. He leaned in, ever so slightly, enough for Zach to know he
would return the kiss if offered but not enough he couldn’t save face if Zach
pushed back, telling him to fuck off.
Josh noticed the change in Zach’s eyes milliseconds
before the guy attacked him, pulling him close, his lips pressing into Josh’s,
his hands fumbling for a good spot, turning Josh in the process so they were
plastered up against each other. For the first three seconds surprise made Josh
stupid. He kept his eyes open, his mouth closed and his body stiff, but after a
moment he relaxed into Zach, letting his boss pull him close, opening his mouth
and welcoming the swipe of Zach’s tongue. He tasted a hint of coffee and donuts
and a good dose of Zach, so sweet and amazing Josh couldn’t help but groan,
probably louder than he’d intended to.
Zach pressed in harder, one hand going to the back of
Josh’s head, holding him in place. Zach slowed the kiss, the urgency lessened.
A trill of excitement wove through Josh when Zach tenderly tugged his earlobe.
The kiss ended but Zach didn’t let him go. With foreheads together, Josh
breathed in deep, sniffing in the dark and woodsy masculine scent that was
Zach. He shivered, his body melting against Zach’s. This man smelled just like
a man should smell, exciting the heck out of Josh.

Hi Sara,
I'm not too much into manga either, though I do enjoy it from time to time.
Good excerpt! ^__^
I purchased Hot Summer Fun and am enjoying it. I am a fan pm M/M but have never read manga/anime. I am going to try it out though.

I've been trying to get the eBook since I heard about it but my computer need an extra hardrive to deal with all the yaoi and M/M books I currently have!

Hot Summer Fun looks... well, hot! I know more about M/M than yaoi, but I might be changing that after this hop.

This book sounds wonderful, and the excerpt was intriguing. I enjoy the Wednesday Briefs that many m/m authors, including you, publish on their blogs, so this looks like a version you can download and take to the beach- as long as it isn't a busy beach.

Thanks so much for participating! I don't really do yaoi but I am all about MM!

Congrats on the release of IRM's anthology. This blog hop has definitely broadened my horizons. Something that I am going to have to research and read up on those authors.
More importantly, Wow! Your except has my full attention. If this is what M/M romance has to offer, this is going to be an exciting time for me as I dive into this new world.
As I mentioned on Hayley James' blog, my start was Yaoi and the dream of being an aspiring writer is only further motivated by such novels like yours. Thanks for the motivation because you can't go wrong with M/M relationship whether that be in novel form or glorious manga/anime.

I'm a newbie to M/M novels, but more than ready to try them. I've been primed by yaoi for years. :D

Hi, Sara. The excerpt sounds great. Hope you're having as much fun participating in the blog hop as I am.
I'm a fan of both manga and m/m romance. That's why I love yaoi!! Anyways, thanks for participating!!

I'm a big yaoi manga and anime fan. I also love m/m novels, romance, mystery, fantasty, etc.
Working Stiff sounds good; I must add it to my wish list.

Thank you so much for sharing, it's going on my 'list for when I have money and can afford to buy more books'. It is a long list... but one that I am determined to cross off. Thanks again!

Thanks for your participation everyone. Last weekend I moved into a new house, it was crazy. Crissy Morris is the winner from my blog. Thanks for participating.
Oh you should see my shelf, my fiance has me on a budget, it is my dirt little secret and I love all my Yaoi. The local gal at the Comic Shop hooks me up monthly knowing what I read and what the budget is so I always get the latest! NICE peak, this is on my shelf BTW and I had not heard about this so now I am going to be watching the hop!
