Giveaway & Guest post - 'Damned If You Do' Virtual Book Tour

Hi there! I’m Sarah Frantz, and author JL Merrow has been kind enough to let me join her on the virtual book tour for her latest paranormal romance series Damned If You Do. I’ve decided to share a little bit about why we at Riptide are so excited to release this great collection, and how it all came to be. I’ve also come bearing gifts—one lucky commenter will walk away with $10 to spend at Riptide Publishing! Share your thoughts below by midnight on Friday, June 28th to enter.

Last year, Aleks Voinov, one of the co-owners of Riptide, came back from the UK GLBT Meetup with the news that JL Merrow might want to publish with us. I immediately said I’d knife fight anyone for the

Backblurb:
Skylar is used to the way people think of him as frightening, mean, and dangerous. Snakes are not the most popular shifters around and the fact he grew up wild doesn't help.

I'm Back & This Month's Anticipated M/M Releases

Although I usually post my m/m wish list for the upcoming month on the first of that month and I'm 9 days late this time, here's still my (belated) list of anticipated m/m releases for June.
I wasn't able to post it sooner because I was on a trip with hubs. We traveled a lot, we toured through California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado en New Mexico where we visited many of the famous National Parks, like Bryce Canyon, Arches, Monument Valley and of course Grand Canyon. I don't need to say it was awesome, do I? :)
Anyhow, my list this month consists of only the book covers, titles, author names and release dates, since I don't have the time (on this late Sunday night) to look up the blurbs as well. *lazy me*
