#MM, #Paranormal, #Romance,

When Morty and Hector can’t say no to their friends' encouragement to attend a Bucket List Buddies event, they discover Fate is on their side. But will that be enough to thwart an interfering mother who always knows best?

Hector just wants a quiet life where he gets to decide whom he’ll mate with. Unfortunately, his mother has other ideas, ones that don’t involve Hector being gay.

Then Fate steps in.

Except it's more a case of Hector's fated mate stepping on his toes. Once Hector claims Monty, he must do what he’s never done in his life—stand up to his mother.

Morty—the clumsiest meerkat who ever lived—runs a small café with his two friends. When he's encouraged to go to an old-fashioned dance—except forced is a much better description—Morty literally steps on his mate. And when Monty's enthusiasm reaches an all-time high, things go a little awry. Okay, maybe a little is an understatement.

Can the two mates survive Morty’s clumsiness and Hector’s mother? We’re about to find out.

Perilous Cuties is book 1 in the Bucket List Buddies Series, where our buddies are about to discover fun and friendship—and a whole lot more.

4 out of 5 (very good)

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!

This is the first in a new series by this pair of authors, and it's a too-stinkin-cute, warm-and-fuzzies, fairly-low-angst AND hangover-read all rolled into one and I thoroughly giggled my head off at it! 

Morty is a meerkat, a clumsy one at that. Hector is a warthog. Neither thinks he is a catch but both want someone for them, to love and cherish. Meeting at a dance class was a stroke of luck and after that? It's just a matter of dealing with Hector's mother, who is, in my opinion, an overbearing witch! 

I have to admit, when I read the blurb, I had immediate thoughts of another meerkat and warthog from a certain animated movie, I'm sure you know the one. And then, one of Hector's friends is a lion, and I kept expecting them to all burst into song! They don't and I think I was a bit disappointed by that! 

I loved Hector and Morty, together and apart. They really are perfect for each other, and push each other's buttons beautifully! I loved how Hector's dad finally, FINALLY stood up to Hector's mum and that she actually shuts up, and listens to both dad and Hector. 

Some drama, with the witch mum, but other than that, a fun read, that filled far less time than I thought it should! Sweet and smexy, cute and cuddly, I really enjoyed it! 

One of those fun reads that you can just lose yourself in.

4 very VERY good stars.

Where does one start with about what I do?

I’m a writer, but I’m sure you guessed that by now if you’re reading this, hey?

What you might not know is I’m a little quirky, live in my pj’s most of the time and have cake Saturdays with my sisters every week. I dedicate a little of my time to taking care of my grandbabies and on the dedicated writing days, I like to write an eclectic mix of romance, suspense and paranormal fantasy. In the main, I’ve written gay romance but I’m branching out under another the pen name in the future, so watch this space.

I’ve got a passion for books like you would not believe and it led me down this path and now I’ve over 29 books released and heading towards releasing a whole lot more. The way my head is I never know where I’ll be headed next. I hope you’ll find a little joy in my words and follow me to see where the journey takes me and you.

If you’re interested at some point in 2021 I’ll be writing under the name JP Paton which will be F/M crime and Fantasy two of my favourite things. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled.

Hi - My name is Lisa Oliver. I recently celebrated my tenth year anniversary of the release of my first MM paranormal book, The Reluctant Wolf, and absolutely love my characters and the wonderful readers who support me.

My current series include:

The Cloverleah Pack (Now finished with thirteen full novels and two short story books)

Stockton Wolves (Now finished with five books)

Bound and Bonded (now finished with six books)

Alpha and Omega

The Gods Made Me Do It (a Cloverleah pack spin off series)

Balance

City Dragons

Arrowtown

The Necromancer's Smile trilogy

Northern States Pack

Quirk of Fates

The Arranged Marriage Series

Assassin's Alley

The Hellhound Collar Series

As you can guess I love men who love men, vampires, shifters, Fae and the true mate trope. In every book I ensure there is no cheating, and there is an HEA and many of my books can be read as a standalone. In my head two (or three) men may be mates, but it takes a special kind of journey to find love, and that is the ambition I have for every single one of my MCs.

I love to hear from my readers so feel free to get in touch via my blog, email, Facebook or twitter profile.
