Years of grueling police work have left Niall Hamarsson jaded and disillusioned with life…although it’s likely he’s been that way all along. The last straw lands when the DA refuses to try a case Niall worked for years to bring to justice. Within hours he finds himself heading to the only place he’s ever been able to call home—a place he knows he doesn’t belong.


Mat Dempsey returned to Piedras Island after his father’s death. These days he’s Island County’s sheriff. He’s happy enough, even if moving home from San Francisco effectively forced him back into the closet. Mat’s well-ordered universe collapses when a local’s body is discovered floating in the cold waters of Hidden Harbor’s marina. All hell breaks loose in the community, and accusations fly…all coinciding with Niall Hamarsson’s return.Niall and Mat have a history, and it’s not one Mat’s proud of. He owes Niall an apology, even if it means getting down on his knees. However, Mat’s first priority is investigating the murder before his community tears itself apart and he may have to ask the aloof Niall Hamarsson for help.


Push apart, pull together, yes or no... The chemistry crackles between them but will the two men be able to put aside their pasts and embrace a future?

Maybe.

Thanks for stopping by, I’m Elle Keaton and I hail from the northwest corner of the US where we are known for rain, rain and more rain. I write the Accidental Roots series, set here in the Pacific Northwest featuring hot mm romance and the guarantee of a happy ending for my men. They start out broken, and maybe they end up that way too, but they always find the other half of their hearts.


I started writing way back when but only began publishing about two and a half years ago and now have nine books out. Each features a couple in my little universe, sometimes there is added mystery and suspense.

There’s nothing like a near death car accident to open your eyes. Otto Proulx decides surviving was a sign; he’s being given a second chance to claim the life he wants to live. For the past few years he’s been hiding in the shadows, vague texts from a troubled ex-partner keep him at home along with his general lack of luck in the romance department. This is his last chance, he’s certain, this time he’ll meet the man for him, the one he’s sure is out there somewhere.


Greg Trainor runs a specialty kite shop and helps his friends out when they ask. That’s the kind of guy he is, if somebody needs something, they call on Greg. He’s a big guy and no genius, but he’s dependable. So…yeah, when he sees a car precariously perched on the side of the road, he stops to help out; it’s what he does.


One night of passion leads to…several more and suddenly both men are searching around to define what they have together. Neither wants to scare the other off and neither wants to ask for more. Will the two men be able to set aside their fears and create a family together, trusting the elements are in their favor?

Anniversary Shenanigans: Author Visit + Giveaway - Elle Keaton

Elle Keaton stopped by today with a story for all the boys and girls!

I came across this memory the other day. I was a little down, depression has been a constant companion, especially during winter. I fight it in different ways; friends, exercise, healthy diet, cleaning – and, I try to acknowledge things in life I am grateful for.

Smoothing my hand across the surface of the photograph, I can almost feel the memory saved in it. It’s my ghost, sort of. I’m soaking wet and visibly about to lose the tenuous grip I have on my temper. Unfortunately, I’m known for it among the few friends I have left. Todd snapped it at the very moment when I nearly lost it. That saying, ‘darkness before dawn’? This was me. I was darkness and couldn’t believe dawn would ever break.

“What the fuck?” I shook the water out of my eyes, it didn’t matter that it was my own stupid fault for falling into the pool, I wanted to blame someone. I needed to release my anger, let it flow like the molten lava it felt like on the inside. I wanted to set fire to everything.

Gray eyes stared calmly back into my own murky brown ones. Instead of continuing my tirade I found myself caught in a bottomless gaze. Who knew dawn could be shrouded in gray mist with glints of blue and green? Something unnamable loosened in my chest, something that had been tight for too long, maybe forever.

“There’re fresh towels in the guest house. I probably have some spare clothes that will fit you.”

The world around me muted, the rest of the pool crowd probably holding their breath waiting for me to explode.

“Who are you?” I ask, bemused.

“Todd. You’re Benjamin.”

“Yeah.” I let myself be led away from the edge of the pool toward the small guest house off to the side. Inside was cool compared to the dry heat of the valley in summer. Behind me conversations started swirling again, someone dug around in a cooler for a beer, a dragon fly buzzed past on impossible wings.

“We went to high school together.” Todd said.

We had?

“I always wanted to get to know you but, lowly underclassman – no chance.”

“Yeah?” My vocabulary was severely limited.

Todd leaned in brushing his lips across mine, stealing my breath. Again. “Yeah.”

I learned that day a smile could be a sunrise too and I am grateful for it.

Well, that was certainly yummy!  Be sure to let Elle know what you thought of her fic in the comments!

Review: As Sure As The Sun (Accidental Roots #4) by Elle Keaton

The universe is trying to tell Sacha Bolic something. A fire escape collapses under him, he lands in crap, and a killer barely misses his target... all in the same few seconds. That's on top of a long list of mishaps and job dissatisfaction. Not one to ignore signals when they're shoved in his face, Sacha retires and uses his savings to buy an old building in Skagit, Washington. With a little help from DIY videos, he’s going to bring it back to its former glory.  And, yeah, it’s a metaphor. If he makes one change, others will follow…

Seth Culver avoids entanglements, romantic or otherwise. Who needs them? He’s learned the hard way that people betray you or leave. Still, Seth finds people compelling. He kind of collects them, learning their secrets before letting them go their own way. His commitment to no commitments may have met its match in Sacha. Handsome and hot, Sacha seems to offer a permanence that scares Seth more than anything ever has. Seth will have to decide if he’s going to grab life by the balls or keep watching from the sidelines.

A box of inconsequential belongings hidden for decades in the old building hints at lives imagined but not lived, reminding them both there are no guarantees in love, or this thing called life.

As Sure as the Sun is quieter than it's predecessors but I found I didn't mind that aspect at all.  Sometimes it's nice to read a simple love story without all the murder and mayhem getting in the way.
  
I've been wanting to read Sacha's book ever since I met him in book two.  He intrigued me with his stoicism and curmudgeonly ways and I wanted to get to know the man underneath the scowl.  Turns out, he is a beautiful, lonely soul looking to make his life more complete.  He's led a rough life - born in a war torn eastern European country, growing up in foster care after emigrating to the states and putting his life on the line daily as a US Marshal while keeping himself in the closet.  He's tired and worn out and he's had enough so he decides it's time to retire and pursue what he really wants out of life.  He moves to Skagit, the town where he spent a couple of years deep undercover as a mob goon, and purchases an historic building, intent on restoring it.

Sparks fly when he meets Seth, another recent transplant to Skagit.  There is an instant attraction between the two that leads Seth to offer things he normally wouldn't to a complete stranger, namely a place to shower and launder Sacha's clothes since Sacha has done without due to living in the building while restoring it.  Both find they have quite a bit in common; their love of history and old buildings being among them.

Seth reminded me of a puppy, bouncing around and getting excited over the simplest things.  He put on a great face, that of a carefree life full of love and happiness.  But, it's just a face, a facade.  Underneath the smiles and laughter is a scared little boy who just wants to belong to someone.  

I enjoyed watching these two navigate through their blossoming relationship, first as friends, then as lovers.  I feel they stayed true to themselves throughout the story, even when they weren't sure who they were at all.  They had a lot to overcome and I felt their reactions and the decisions they made, even the bad ones, were realistic.  I could understand why Seth did what he did though it upset me.  And I'm glad Sacha was strong enough to put his insecurities aside and pursue his happiness.

And there was still a mystery here, just not prominent in the story.  It was a bit heartbreaking to read about the two men in the photograph Sacha found hidden behind a wall in the building he's restoring but it was also hauntingly beautiful.  It made me tear up a little bit.

This was a great addition to the Accidental Roots series and I can't wait to read the next book.  Elle Keaton has proven to be a talented author and, frankly, I just like how she writes.  The storyline is smooth and easy to follow.  Bits of humor interjected  here and there bring levity where it's needed to keep the story from becoming too maudlin.  And it's just plain interesting.  I want to know more.  

Recommended to, well, pretty much everyone.  If you haven't given this author a try I urge you to do so.  This, and her other stories, are worth the read.

A standalone in the Accidental Roots series.

Excerpt

“I brought treats,” Seth said after admiring the results of Sacha’s overnight labor’s. He held up a small white paper bag, the kind pastries come in. “Fresh out of the oven.” In his other hand he held a dented silver thermos. “And coffee. Lots of it.”

“Danish?” Sacha reached to snatch the bag out of Seth’s hand, but the asshole jerked it out of range.

“Ah, ah, ah. You must want these pretty bad. What are you willing to do for one?” Seth teased, a wicked gleam in his eyes.

Seth looked good enough to eat, and Sacha was a starving man in more ways than one. Without thinking, Sacha moved toward Seth. Their chests were touching while Seth still held the bag of pastries out of reach. Seth’s breath was hot against Sacha’s cheek; his pupils dilated, reducing his irises to a strip of chocolate brown.

“Oh yeah?” Seth cocked his head to the side, exposing more of his neck. Seth smirked and the pink tip of his tongue swept out, moistening his lips. “I dare you.”

Fucking hell, he’d never backed down from a dare in his life. Sacha growled under his breath before inhaling deeply, worshipping the lingering scent of sweat and maleness that was Seth-specific. The striation of browns that made his eyes appear caramel when the light hit them right was easy to see and impossible to look away from. A week of this man in his dreams and he had no self-control.

Seth was playing a dangerous game. Sacha’s hands dropped of their own volition to rest on Seth’s hips. Seth’s lips parted. Sacha didn’t miss the invitation. Ignoring the cacophony of voices in his head telling him this was a bad idea, he pressed his mouth against Seth’s.

Fucking hell, it was perfection. Like a confection, sugary, hot, and sweet. It was impossible to resist sweeping his tongue across Seth’s lips.

Author Bio

Author, photographer, rare Pacific Northwest Native, Elle grew up in Seattle, WA., with the Cascade Mountain range to the east and Olympics to the west. Less than two hours northwest lie the majestic San Juan Islands. To the northeast is the Methow Valley and the scrub deserts of Eastern Washington. Geography ripe with material.

A graduate of Western Washington University, Elle has a BS in biology which taught her to be tenacious. The closest she has come to biology since then is having two kids. Like an experiment or something. She’s lived in four states (none of which were gaseous), London England, and Hong Kong; always knows what time it is, and has no problem finding parking even in the most difficult places. Cannot balance a checking account.

Elle's series Accidental Roots, mostly set in the Skagit Valley of Western Washington, will make its debut spring of 2017. Storm Season is tender, sometimes irreverent, full of nosy neighbors and help when the hero didn’t think he needed it. Writing has always been a passion but not something she was able to take seriously until recently. Now her head is full of ideas and not enough time in each day.
