January M/M Releases I Look Forward To

Happy New Year to all of you! :)

I’m away these holidays, and I'm even without internet for most of the time *gasp*, but a couple of days before I left, I made my wish list of my most anticipated m/m romances that are being released this first month of the year.

The book that is on the top of my list is How to Save a Life by Sloan Parker, which will be available on January 15th from Loose Id. There’s no cover spotted yet but a draft blurb is:

Reporter Kevin Price has a knack for tripping over his own feet. And everyone else’s. He’s in over his head undercover at the Haven, a swanky gay sex club, determined to find out why members of the club keep vanishing. Five minutes inside and he can no longer deny the truth about his sexuality. He turns to the one man he can’t get out of his head, the sexy ex-cop handling security. Too bad Kevin doesn’t trust cops. Not since the only night he let himself be with another man.
Walter Simon doesn’t do the club scene anymore. Not since he found love and lost it. That doesn’t mean he’ll let anyone hurt more innocent gay men. Even if that means going head-to-head with the klutzy, closeted, much-younger reporter. Kevin has information about the disappearances. Better to keep him close. And safe.
Neither is at the club to hook up or fall in love. Now they must work together amid their growing passion in order to uncover the truth before more men disappear.

I can’t wait to read Walter’s book, who is a secondary character from Sloan's debut novel More (which I reviewed here, but How to Save a Life can be read as a stand-alone story). Plus we'll be welcoming Sloan Parker here at RDB as a guest author next week & she'll be giving away an e-copy of How to Save a Life too!! So be sure to drop by next week if you like a chance to win her book.  
And psst... my friend Chris from Stumbling over Chaos will be running a giveaway for this book from the 3rd of January as well...

Last but not least on my list is the short story Quid Pro Quo  by LA Witt & Aleksandr Voinov (released on January 7th at Riptide Publishing) of which I can’t find a cover yet either (because I made this post a week ago). I’m excited to see what the cooperation of these two authors will bring us.

Which January m/m releases did I miss, that you look forward to?
