#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)

PERILOUS CUTIES is the first book in the new Bucket List Buddies series, and we get an introduction and ending from Remy and Sven, who are on the Bucket List Buddies business side of things. This time, though, it's time for Hector and Morty to meet. Hector is a warthog shifter, which a despicable sperm carrier and an under-the-thumb father, and Morty is a meerkat shifter with a found family, after his original one disowned him for being gay.

These two together? My heart! I loved them. Hector's mother had browbeaten him for years, so when he finally stood up to her, it was outstanding. There was another surprise yet to come though, and I won't say anything that might ruin it. Morty's heart is definitely in the right place and has some exceedingly wise words of wisdom for Hector about other people's opinions.

This was a fast-paced novel that I read in one sitting, simply because I couldn't put it down. I loved everything about their romance and hope we see more of them in future stories, so I can see how they're getting on.

Absolutely loved it and definitely recommend this book. I hope to return to this world very soon!

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.

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.
