Day 11 of 15 Days of Christmas - J.L. Langley

Today our guest is the wonderful, delightful, funny…J.L. Langley!  I have to confess I’d never read much M/M romance until I became friends with J.L but her Regency-SciFy hooked me.  Her writing opened me to a new genre, one that contains as I’ve discovered excellent authors and stories.  Another misconception I labored under is M/M is all about the sex…not true.  In some of the books I’ve read in the genre the sex is limited and when it does occur, it’s part of a natural process.

So join me in welcoming my friend…J.L. Langley!  She is offering up a PDF (winner’s choice) of one of her ebooks to the name drawn.  And don’t forget, that winner goes into the “Brit” trinket drawing.

J.L. speaks

Since I’m being a good girl and working on my WIP, I’ll make this short and sweet. I mean what can I say about Christmas that hasn’t been said?  Other than it would be really cool to be in a log cabin with snow on Christmas. Or heck forget the log cabin, just snow on Christmas somewhere out of the city would be neat. So not happening here in Dallas. I can remember only two Christmases in my entire lifetime that have been snowy. Actually, they were both more ice than snow.

On Christmas like most people, I bake cookie to take to my family’s celebration on Christmas Eve, for my family, and Christmas Day, for my husbands, and I’d like to share with you one of my new favorite recipes for cookies.

1) Preheat oven to 350°F.

2) Cream butter and both sugars until fluffy.

3) Add eggs and blend well.

4) Add cayenne, cocoa, baking soda and salt and blend very well. It's important to blend this stage completely so that heat is evenly distributed.

9) Bake 10-12 minutes.

Love was never part of his plan…until it pounced.

 With or Without, Book 4 

With Abandon

As heir to an old and proud heritage, Aubrey Reynolds works and lives for his family, his employees and his pack. Agreeing to watch after a visiting werewolf is no big deal—until he discovers the newcomer is his mate. His very male mate…which is a very big deal, indeed. Revealing his sexuality was never part of Aubrey’s well-ordered life plan.

Much as he loved caring for his eight younger brothers, Matt Mahihkan knows it’s time to grab the opportunity to attend college in Atlanta. Realizing Aubrey is his mate should have been a delightful experience…except Aubrey treats him more like a dirty little secret than a lover. Yet Matt is a patient man. Aubrey can’t stay in the closet forever. Can he?

In time, they settle into a comfortable, if complicated, routine. Until a rogue werewolf with an axe to grind forces Aubrey to add to the wedge of secrets driving him and Matt apart, leaving Matt exposed to danger…and Aubrey forced to choose between love and duty.
