Temptations of Desire by Tempeste O'Riley

But proving to Alex he isn’t like all the men who couldn’t see him for who he truly was and only wanted to hide him away is harder than he thought. Pushing aside his preconceived notions, Alex opens up just a little and soon caves.įrom their first date-while dealing with his father’s failing health and his parents’ demands for him to settle down and have children-Dal never takes his eyes off his goal of making Alex his. Because he’s been rejected one too many times, Alex doesn’t trust the huge cop and the interest he shows in him, but once Dal sets his mind on something, he goes all out. He just wants a guy who loves all of him and appreciates his feminine form too.Īt the local LGBTQ center where Alex regularly volunteers, he meets Dal Sayer, an officer of the Milwaukee PD.

Publisher: Dreamspinner Press (September 22, 2014)Īlexander James Noble is a gender fluid gay man who gave up on finding Mister Right a long time ago. Temptations of Desire by Tempeste O’Riley I love sharing hope, love, and joy, even if it is only between the pages of my books. Nope, I’m a totally character driven author, so on top of bossy characters dictating their stories to me, everything from the news, to stories my friends tell me of their lives or pasts, to simple random thoughts influence my writing and spurn me to write more. I’m not the kind of author that can plan out, outline, and pre-plot all the lovely things in a story. Mind you, I really don’t think she expected me to write a sensual Dom and an abuse victim falling in love ) but that’s who came to me.

You see, I’m also now single and have had my mobility used against me on that front too, so it made sense, her suggestion. LOL, yep, that was the entire basis of me writing, giving characters the love and acceptance I wanted. A friend said I should write a story where the MC had mobility issues like mine and then give that character a happy ending. for using the little electric shopping carts and more. You see, I don’t “look sick” whatever that means, so I’m often harassed at Wal-Mart, the grocery store, etc. When I wrote my first m/m romance, it was as a push from a friend in reaction to how I often am treated when I go out-I hate shopping due to the attitudes of others about my mobility. What pushes me to write the stories I do. Good morning all! As some of you know, I’m a Supporting Author going to GayRomLit 2014 in Chicago! (This will be my first convention YAY!) However, today I’d like to talk to you about what inspires me when I’m writing.

To my guests, I asked to brainstorm around the common theme 'inspiration'. I will host authors attending the GayRomLit Retreat in Chicago (October 16-19, 2014: /content/2014-grl-featured-b logger-program). Elisa_rolle Starting from March up until September I will be part of the 2014 GRL Blog Tour as featured blogger.
