Something New on the Menu Series
BLMorticia and Rawiya
BL: Greetings. Welcome to another post from
the muses of Sharita Lira. Today, were posting about the about the series were
doing together through Naughty Nights Press, Something New on the Menu.
Rawiya: We’re very excited that Gina and
her team have allowed us to do it too. The brilliant thing about this
collection is each story is a standalone with different characters,
backgrounds, and situations, but they all follow a common theme: M/M romance
and the Food &Restaurant Industry.
BL: Hot stories about men in love with
treats to boot. Why wouldn’t you want to read that? The series began in
November with my book, SomethingFresh Served Hot. It’s about a homophobe, Jimmy LaCosta who thinks
he knows it all about gay men but when he meets his boss, Alex Seidling, he is
quickly put in his place. As expected, the book is filled with snark and hot
sex. Looks like the readers like it too since it received a Silver Star on All
Romance Books.
Rawiya: It’s an awesome story and a fitting
beginning to this collection. Moving along to my book, Time to Makethe Donuts, the main character Christopher is a lonely shop owner
looking for love. He works hard to keep the donut store he inherited running
and ignores his personal life in the process. However, a man comes into his
life to change things and during the story, he finds out secrets about Andre
that might stand in the way of their happiness. Will it? You have to read to
find out. It also received a star on All Romance and was top ten on the NNP
list at ARe.
BL: Those are just two of the stories in
this series. We moved on to book three and four for Rawiya before I end with
the last book, Candyman about a young man who has the tasks of taking over his
deceased father’s company and falls in love in the process.
Rawiya: My tales Smooth LikeLatte and Sugar Daddy
are books 3 and 4. I’m very excited about these stories. Both interracial m/m,
Smooth involves a closeted CEO who falls in love with a saucy barista while
Sugar is a May/December romance with a culinary student searching for an older
man to love and take care of him.
BL: The collection has laughs, manlove, and
food. How can you go wrong? We’re proud of the series and hope you’re
interested to check it out!

Excerpt
Antwon flicked the button on his laptop and
signed in, checking for new messages. “The same old…” He shook his head,
scanning the emails from GayMatch.com. Men his own age or young ones looking
for a “Master” which caused him to press delete very quickly. “Shit, don’t they
get it? I’m not into that, I could never hurt a fly… I could…” he stopped
pushing the “d” when he noticed something of interest.
The profile came up for “Choco91”’ and it
appeared more promising than anything he’d read since he joined the site.
“Well, who are you?” Interested, he smiled wryly and clicked the link, anxious
to see what Choco looked like. Once he did, his eyes widened and his face
flushed as he gazed at a young brown-skinned hunk who claimed to be from
Liverpool and twenty-one years old. He mentioned how he was a student in the
culinary arts and looking for an older black man to love and take care of him.
“Seriously?” Antwon couldn’t believe his
eyes. Could this young stud be the man he was searching for? A gorgeous man,
closely shaven head, with brown eyes, five ten, athletic build.
He could hardly wait to respond to the
message; Hi, would you like to talk?
Antwon typed in an answer. Sure I’d love
to, whenever you have the chance.
