Book excerpt: A Steamy Bi-Awakening Gay Romance Quick Read By B.T. Haiyes “If you had to do a guy, huh,” I began, dropping my voice low, “sounds like you’ve thought about it a lot.” I then dipped my head, reaching up to rest a hand on the wall behind the blond man. “And when you’ve thought about it, what did you imagine me doing to you?” — James. Scarred and solitary, ex-firefighter James has given up on finding love. But when a striking blond stranger walks into his garage, he feels a sense of attraction he thought long extinguished. Dylan considers himself strictly straight—until he meets James. Yet, as James examines Dylan’s broken-down car, Dylan finds himself fixated on the mechanic's rugged physique and soulful eyes. An innocent offer of a drink soon escalates into a charged encounter that makes Dylan question everything he thought he knew about himself. James simmers with a certain something that Dylan finds almost irresistible. Even though Dylan's always been into women, he can't ignore the magnetic attraction he feels towards James. These two men have doubts and fears that run deep. But there is a connection between them pulling them towards each other... if only they can be brave enough to follow it.

A Quick Word From The Author: I know many of you are big fans of MM romance books, so I’ve written a range of stories from longer gay romance books to quick and easy, gay romance short stories for when you just need a fast fix. Personally, I have a soft spot for mm romance first time tales. There's something so special about exploring that journey of coming out and falling in love for the first time. But I also love writing a good mm romance alpha story, with a headstrong hero who finds his perfect match. And mm romance bi awakening plots really tug at my heartstrings too. Especially as we follow along the journey of two characters exploring new sides of their sexuality. So, for those of you who like your gay romance on the shorter side, check out my First Time For Everything series. Every book in that series is a steamy m/m romance instalove quick read that you can dive right into. They're ideal for when you've only got a bit of time but need your happily ever after fix. Some are contemporary, while others are a fun mm romance adventure tale — but there's something there for every mood. However, if you’re looking for a heart-warming, slow-burning romance story, then my Love On Ryder Ranch series is just what you need!
