\"Welcome<\/a>Can you remember what you were reading last month or back at Christmastime? Probably not. With the number of books being published, it seems after only a week or a month most of them fade out of our consciousness. If we don’t buy it immediately, chances are we’ll forget because something new and shiny distracts us.<\/p>\n

The Backlist Bloghop is a great way for authors and readers to take a step back in time and focus on a few older titles that have faded into obscurity. But that doesn’t meant they aren’t worth reading!<\/p>\n

If you haven’t met me before, I write gay romance and I have a few personal favorite books I’d like to share with you, in case you missed them the first time around.<\/p>\n

Leave a comment with your favorite cover from my backlist<\/a> and you can win any book off the list (1 book prize awarded per 10 comments left on this blog). I’ll also throw in a $10 Amazon Gift Card for one lucky winner. Prizes to be awarded June 3, after 6pm Pacific Time.<\/b><\/p>\n

Chase has a reputation as an unscrupulous corporate raider, and he must win Mathias back\u2014by any means necessary\u2014before he gives his heart to someone else.
