Actual books I want.

Not just fanfiction--published stuff! All m/m of course. *g*

Josh Lanyon's Adrien English omnibus. LooseID. Argh! Read the "After Series" interview Lanyon had with the main characters and it was so depressing, I'm striking this. T_T I'm a romantic at heart and while the ending wasn't the typical "happily ever after", I WANT that type of ending in anything I'm actually paying money for. T^T

Er... Nightrunner. Who wrote it? Trilogy. Fantasy.

Kirby Crow's Scarlett and the White Wolf. Trilogy, only as eBook. Fantasy. Hee, blonde top, brunette bottom? Maybe? <3

Elisa Viperas's Dark Lord Seeks Friendship, Maybe More. Torn because, who does he end up with? I'm hoping for the cliche answer--it's the adviser. But, only one novel! Ugly cover art b/c only offered as eBook ($4).

Jet Mykles's Heaven Sent Just Heaven and Purgatory, though. Art by PL Nunn! >.< ($12.82 print omnibus) Excerpts match the title. Maybe Faith from the series as well.

Emily Veinglory's The Wicca Man: Tongue-Tied Only first in series. ebook only. HOT excerpt.

The Nightrunner series (Luck in Shadows, Stalking Darkness, and Traitor's Moon) is by Lynn Flewelling. There's also a fourth book called Shadows Return and a fifth book in the works.

All of them sound pretty good! If you're only after buying one of them...my opinion is Elisa Vipera's novel. XD The prologue is pretty funny. :) And humor is always good. Emily Veinglory's novel is pretty HOT too. XDD That would be my second choice. Kirby Crow would be my third, but I'm kinda iffy on that one because the excerpt I read...could have been better. Last choice would be Jet Mykles. I dunno why, but it's not really doing much on my interest levels. ^_^ Good luck choosing. (Weird that I like the ebooks better than the one book that does come in hardcopy. Oh well.)

I'd be happy to send you the first one, and let you make your own decision as to whether or not the other two are worth reading. :)

If my opinion counts at all... you should rethink the Adrien English mysteries. I generally avoid Lanyon's interviews and such myself, so I understand where you're coming from on that, but there is a reason why he's my favorite M/M mystery author, and one of my favorite M/M writers in general. Trying to adjust from the romance genre to mysteries can be difficult - the mystery genre can end up feeling dry, dull, overly-technical. Lanyon bridges that gap wonderfully. What he lacks in "happy ever after," he more than makes up for in common sense. I can promise, you won't find any prostate-licking or self-lubing ukes in his books.
The rest of your choices makes me think you're more interested in romance and fantasy; if "happy ever after" is all you're looking for, then no, you probably won't like it. However, imo, Adrien is a very endearing character. I would have enjoyed reading about him even if there hadn't been a sniff of romance in the story.
If it turns out that you buy it, enjoy it, and decide you want to try more in the mystery genre, then I can give you the names of a couple of other M/M mystery authors that you might also enjoy.

As for Myckles... She admits to having strong yaoi tendencies, but I picked up a couple of actual yaoi novels at Yaoicon, and I have to say that Myckles was by far the better buy. To illustrate: the yaoi novels will continue to sit on my bookshelf until I find someone with much lower standards to dump them on, and Faith is sitting on my desk, already well-read.
I have all four of the Heaven Sent books in both ebook and print. I know that in my review I said that I liked Heaven most, but that was before I'd read Faith, which is now my favorite. Other than that, I strongly stand by my original review.
