Release; Press

 

Henley is off-limits for Levar. So why can’t he stay away?

Five years ago, Levar survived a terrorist attack. The bombing left its scars, but he’s picked up his life. He loves working for the vice president—who is openly bisexual—as his press secretary.

Levar can’t afford a pesky attraction that proves to be frustratingly stubborn. Worse, those highly combustible sparks are with the very last person he should be falling for: Henley Platt, a well-known reporter covering the White House.

Henley may not be Levar’s enemy, but he’s definitely not his friend. He can’t be, not when their jobs put them on opposite sides. Henley is absolutely off-limits, even when he shows his appreciation for the sexy lingerie Levar loves to wear.

When the terrorists strike again with a devastating blow to the White House, Levar and Henley lean on each other for support. The sparks become a raging fire that won’t be doused, but what happens if they’re found out?

Press is the first book in the White House Men series, a romantic suspense gay romance series set in the White House. Think The West Wing but gay, and with less politics. Each book has a new love story with a happily ever after, but the suspense plot will continue throughout the books, so the series needs to be read in order. Press has 100k words. TW for terrorism and violence.

I LOVED this book. It is so good. Nora Phoenix pulls out all the stops for the first book in her new series and I am here for it. Some of it was predictable but that's okay because it was executed so well. I loved reading it so much. 

Henley and Levar are great characters. They're easy to read and you could feel the connection between them in those first moments. They fought long and hard for their feelings and it paid off beautifully. I loved every single second they spent getting to know each other and appreciated that it was more of a slow-burn. They needed to get to know each other outside their work and you could feel the tension rising with each interaction. 

I love how Nora Phoenix incorporated politics with the storyline and made it easy to read for everyone. In today's political climate, it was nice to read a book where the characters were actively working to make things better for everyone. Especially those who are LGBTQ+, being part of the rainbow myself, I really appreciated it. 

I cannot wait for the next book in this series because there are so many ways this story arc can go. I'm excited for this new adventure. 

EXCERPT

Out of everything he could’ve said, his brain latched on to one thing Henley had mentioned. “You like my panties?”

Henley shot him a questioning look. “You sound surprised. Wouldn’t every man in my situation appreciate them?”

Levar propped himself up on his elbow. “Some men feel they’re too feminine.”

“Really? Let me have a better look.”

Before Levar realized what he was doing, Henley had whipped the covers off him, exposing him and his still-hard dick in all its glory. Henley took him in, then licked his lips with a smack. “Nope, nothing feminine about that, and that’s coming from a man who can appreciate feminine curves as much as a male hard body and anything in between. You’re all male, baby, and those panties are delicious on you. Absolutely edible.”

He dropped the covers back onto Levar, who lay stunned for a moment. What the hell had just happened? But then he cracked a smile, which morphed into a full laugh. “You’re nuts.”

Henley winked at him. “True, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Would you like the long or the short version of my bio?

The short? You got it.

I write steamy gay romance books and I love it. I also love reading books. Books are everything.

How was that?

A little more detail? Gotcha.

I started writing my first stories when I was a teen…on a freaking typewriter. I still have these, and they’re adorably romantic. And bad, haha. Fear of failing kept me from following my dream to become a romance author, so you can imagine how proud and ecstatic I am that I finally overcame my fears and self-doubt and did it. I adore my genre because I love writing and reading about flawed, strong men who are just a tad broken..but find their happy ever after anyway.

My favorite books to read are pretty much all MM/gay romances as long as it has a happy end. Kink is a plus… Aside from that, I also read a lot of nonfiction and not just books on writing. Popular psychology is a favorite topic of mine and so are self-help and sociology.

Hobbies? Ain’t nobody got time for that. Just kidding. I love traveling, spending time near the ocean, and hiking. But I love books more.
