Split Rock Ranch, Book 5

Something Unprofessional Cover

Synopsis

Ev Bailey is done dating his bosses. After the last disaster, he’s sworn off workplace romances for good. He has a new job in a new city and he’s not going to make the same mistakes again—he knows he’ll never find his perfect Daddy in the corner office. Which is why it’s so inconvenient that his new boss is hotter than sin . . . and an expert at pushing all his buttons.

Gabe Diaz didn’t want a PA, but he has to admit that things run more smoothly with Ev around. The boy is easy to work with and even easier on the eyes. Not that Gabe’s going to do anything about it. He’s too experienced to make that kind of mistake. Besides, he has certain tastes that would probably send his buttoned-up PA running. Anything beyond a professional relationship between them is off the table.

Then the hottest spot to play in town hosts a New Year’s Eve masquerade, and with masks firmly in place, anything could happen.

They’ll deal with the repercussions on Monday.

Something Unprofessional is a 60k MM age gap, boss/employee romance with a sassy Middle who’s in over his head, a Daddy who should be keeping his distance, secret identities, only one bed, and two men who are terrible at following the rules. It can be read as a stand-alone.

About the Author:

Rory Pic

Rory Maxwell discovered romance novels on her mom’s bookshelf when she was probably too young to be reading them—the reward for being a nosy kid with great reading comprehension. The magic of a dial-up internet connection led her to the wonderful world of MM fanfiction a few years later and she fell in love with the genre. In 2019 she woke up with a plot bunny, opened a word doc, and started trying to figure out how this writing stuff worked.

Rory grew up outside of Washington, DC, moved away, and then came back for reasons she doesn’t fully understand. An artist and writer, she always has too many exciting ideas and not nearly enough free time. One day, she hopes to escape to the mountains where she can work from home and write as much as she wants. In the meantime, she splits her time between her day job and writing MM romance with heart, heat, and happy endings.

Short Review of the Earth: 2100 Anthology.

Earth 2100: 18 Captivating Visions of a Sci-Fi Future Curated by J. Scott Coatsworth.

 Blurb: Earth on the Cusp of the Twenty-Second Century

Just think how the world has changed in the last seventy-six years. In 1948, scientists ran the first computer program, and "the Ultimate Car of the Future," the futuristic, three wheeled Davis Divan, debuted. Since then, a succession of inventions—the personal computer, the internet, the World Wide Web, smart phones and social media—have transformed every aspect of our lives.

How might the next seventy-six years change us, in ways we can barely even begin to imagine, as culture, climate change, politics and technology continue to reshape the world? Earth in 2100 will be as unrecognizable to us as today would be to someone from 1948.

Eighteen writers tackled this challenge, serving up an amazing array of sci-fi possibilities. From emotional AI's to photosynthetic children, from virtual worlds to a post-urban society, our writers serve up compelling slices of life from an Earth that's just around the corner.

So dive in and and take a wild ride into these amazing visions of our collective future.

My Review: I received this in exchange for an honest review. So, 18 really diverse visions of life in the future, should be an interesting read and a way to find new authors to follow, yes? YES! Some I couldn't quite get, some made me dread the future, but most were the kind of future I can look forward to.

I did consider listing each story with an individual opinion, but decided it would be much better for each reader to come to the book with the same knowledge I had on opening it. It will be worth it for anyone doing so. I'm sure everyone will find at least one story that will resound with them and have them still thinking about it days later (I know I did).
