1. Iron Cross by Bianca Sommerland

   

   About Iron Cross by Bianca Sommerland

   Too many penalties may leave the goal vulnerable without the IRON CROSS.

   After overcoming a potentially career-ending concussion, Tyler Vanek, Dartmouth Cobras first line forward, couldn’t be happier with his life. Until his boyhood hero-worship for Raif Zovko, a newly acquired player, develops into more. His mistress, ‘Chicklet’ encourages him to explore his feelings, and with her enjoyment of toying with the powerful Dom, Tyler figures it might be fun.

   Laura Tallent, a dedicated officer with the Halifax PD, and Chicklet’s first sub, is tired of Tyler’s fun disrupting the structure of her world. Devotion to her mistress kept her silent for two years, but a horrible case and more proof that Tyler is the worst sub in existence has her wondering how much better life would be if he was someone else’s problem. Someone like Raif.

   Raif won’t deny the lust he feels for Tyler, but he refuses to play games with a young man who’s questioning his sexuality—he won’t be an experimental phase for an unruly submissive. But when Laura draws him into a plan to remove Tyler from her poly relationship with Chicklet, his protective instincts take over. He partners with Chicklet to protect Tyler and dig deeper into the reasons behind Laura’s scheming. Chicklet clearly loves her boy, she won’t let him go. And before long, Raif realizes neither can he.

   Blindsided by the discord in her household, Chicklet struggles to fulfill her subs’ needs as their careers throw challenges at them all. Control is slipping from her hands, but with Raif by her side, she prays her relationships can be saved. Salvaging the future means rebuilding with a new foundation. But the only way to make the base solid is for them all to work together. And with all the secrecy and lies, she has no idea where to start.

   This is the 6th book in the Dartmouth Cobras Series and they are best read in order.

2. Aversion: Book One of The Mentalist Series

   About Aversion: Book One of The Mentalist Series:

   For Gemma Green’s first time, things should have been straightforward. Find your subject, hold their gaze and push a thought into their head to save them from future disaster – Aversion complete. A pretty simple process given that the subject was to have no recollection of the experience. But Russ Tanner doesn’t seem to want to forget. In fact the more she tries to avoid him, the more he pushes to get to know her. Gemma knows she has a problem but is she facing the side effects of a failed Aversion or has the school’s tennis champ really fallen for her?

3. Fic by Anne Jamison

   About Fic by Anne Jamison:

   We’ve all read the news stories: Thanks to Fifty Shades of Grey and Amazon’s new Kindle Worlds initiative, fanfiction is “taking over” the publishing industry. But fanfiction isn’t a new phenomenon. And the process of reading, writing, and sharing it is a lot richer and a lot more valuable, both for the individual and our culture, than most news coverage gives it credit for.

   Fic: Why Fanfiction is Taking Over the World is a groundbreaking book-length exploration of the history and culture of fan writing, and what its future means for the way we think about reading, writing, and authorship. It’s a story about literature, community, and technology—about what stories are being told, who’s telling them, and how.

   With provocative discussions from both professional and fan writers, on subjects from Sherlock Holmes to Star Trek to The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Harry Potter and Twilight, Fic sheds light on the widely misunderstood world(s) of fanfiction—not just how fanfiction is transforming the literary landscape, but how it already has.
