The response was INSANE! So I have to do it in 3 parts. I am posting part one this week. Part 2 will post next week. Part 3 the following week.
So, if you're a fan of some yum yum alpha men and looking for some great reads, reader recommended, I have some for you to look at.
Gangster Country by Kade Boehme
Logan Marshall moves to New York to be a social worker where
he feels he's needed most. Logan's always had it good. His Daddy is a preacher,
sure, but he preaches a laid back, tolerant congregation who accepted Logan's
sexuality gracefully. He's from a ranch in nowhere, Texas, which makes him a
hot ticket in the clubs with his tight, work strengthened body and his cute
accent. He's out of his element in New York, not looking for Mr. Right Now but
Mr. Right.
Gianni Rodriguez grew up in Brooklyn. Nothing could be further from the way he was raised than innocent, good hearted Logan was. Gianni is fascinated that people like Logan even exist. And parents that not only are God-fearing, but also accepting?
As second in command of Los Cuervos, his brother's not-so-merry band of drug runners and pimps, Gianni's life would be in serious jeopardy if anyone ever knew the truth. That's why his growing attachment for Logan is a bad thing.
When Logan's work collides violently with Gianni's life, Gianni has to decide if the man is worth risking everything, even his family-- the man that may not even want him once he realizes what a monster the man he's been sleeping with really is. Could Logan be Gianni's reason to go straight? Or will they both go straight to an unmarked grave?

Safe in His Arm by Renae Kaye
In the late-night quiet of the caravan park shower room, Lon
Taylor washes away the filth of the Western Australian mines. He’s not looking
for anyone, but when Casey offers, Lon doesn’t turn him down.
Welcoming the young man in his big, hairy arms, Lon provides a safety to Casey that he has never known, and Casey wants to stay forever. Still reeling from the breakup of his family years ago, Lon’s not sure he’s ready for the responsibility of the comfort and security Casey craves.
But perhaps Lon can risk opening his heart again and hoping for a brighter future. Casey has some pretty big skeletons in his past to deal with. And Lon wonders what Casey will do when he finds out how badly Lon failed at protecting the ones he loved eight years ago.

picking up one night stands. Then suddenly he becomes the only witness to a

and very hot police detective. When passion flares between the two men, Sam is

Dex in Blue by Amy Lane
Ten years ago David Worral had plans to go to college and
the potential for a beautiful future in front of him. One tragic accident
later, he fled to California and reinvented himself as Dex, top porn model of
Johnnies.
Dex’s life is a tangled mess now, but the guys he works with only see the man who makes them believe even porn stars can lead normal lives. When Kane, one of Dex’s coworkers, gets kicked out of his house, the least Dex can do is give him a place to stay. Kane may be a hyperactive muscle-bound psycho, but he’s also a really nice guy. What could be the harm?
Except nothing is simple—not sex, not love, and not the goofy kid with the big dick and bigger heart who moves his life into Dex’s guest room. When they start negotiating fractured pasts and broken friends, Dex wonders if Kane’s honest nature can untangle the sadness that stalled his once-promising future. With Kane by his side, Dex just might be able to reclaim the boy he once was—and if he can do that, he can give Kane the home and the family he deserves.

McKichan, a born infected and ex-cop, works as a private detective trying to
solve crimes involving other infecteds.
The murder of a former cop draws Roan into an odd case where an unidentifiable species of cat appears to be showing an unusual level of intelligence.

Nothing Special by A.E. Via
Detective Cashel 'Cash' Godfrey is big, tattooed and angry
so people typically keep their distance. He's fresh out of the police academy,
however, no one is looking to partner with the six foot four beast with a huge
chip on his shoulder and an inability to trust. When Cash scans the orientation
room he wasn't expecting to find sexy hazel eyes locked onto him. Eyes of the
handsome Detective Leonidis 'Leo' Day.
Leo is charming, witty, hilariously sarcastic and the only one that can make Cash smile. He’s proud, out and one bad-ass detective.
Together Cash and Leo become the most revered and successful narcotics detectives Atlanta’s ever seen. Able to communicate and understand each other, without even having to voice it, they quickly climb up the promotional ranks.
When Cash saves Leo's life in a raid that turns deadly, Leo begins to see something in the big man that no one else does…something special. But Leo fears he'll never break through the impenetrable wall that protects Cash's heart.
Nothing Special takes the reader through various emotions throughout the richly fulfilling plot that’s full of erotic gay romance, heartache, passion, trials and tribulations, police action scenes, and an intriguing twist that comes to an amazing ending that’s impossible to see coming.
