2025 Publishing Wrap Up!

Books by Shaw Montgomery/MA Innes published in 2025

This year feels like it’s been a thousand years long.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had a lot of fun this year, wrote a lot of books that I love, and survived the first half of my son’s senior year in college, but it feels like I wrote Experiments in Love a thousand years ago instead of January.

My naughty boys from Becoming His…yep…same feeling.

How has it only been months since my drama llama of a ghost told us his story?

The creative side of me loves the reminders about all the ridiculous characters we met like Dally from Their Little Helper causing chaos everywhere he goes or Kennedy from Experiments in Love trying to decide why tops think bigger is better. (He knows size matters but not in the way that people think. lol)

Then we’ve had dragon shenanigans and our newest omegaverse stalker…and then we had Bigfoot and Christmas…and that doesn’t even begin to touch on the bonus chapters and Patreon goodies.

It’s been a packed year no matter how long it actually was. I hope you’ve had fun this year with all the new books and I can’t wait to show you what’s coming next.

In the comments, share which book of mine was your favorite this year!

Grumpy Levi Gets His Hea – Teddy is LIVE on Amazon and Free with KindleUnlimited

Ready for Teddy?

Levi is not but he’s going to get him anyway.

Teddy is live (A Little Christmas 4) and he’s a handful that’s decided to drive Levi crazy because any attention is good attention.

Right?

He thinks it is, but Levi is ready to explain to whoever is driving him insane that there are better ways to make a point.

Remember Levi?

He’s the grumpy best friend from The Christmas Mac-n-Cheese Mystery and we finally figure out why he’s such a pain in the butt.

Family trouble.

We all know that there are lots of fun shenanigans that Daddy’s and subs can get up to, but the only things I think are important to mention is that Levi’s family are assholes, and on a separate note, there is one positive conversation about adoption.

Let me know if you have questions but have fun with my dramatic Daddy and his cheeky cutie. Click here to read the first full chapter.

A Little Christmas: Teddy by MA Innes - Gay Romance Book Cover

“I don’t like soup.” – Levi

Levi hasn’t done anything terrible enough to deserve getting such horrendous food delivered to his house. He knows he hasn’t been the nicest person lately, but he’s not at the soup punishment level of attitude. Right?

I was a good boy even if the Daddy across the street would question that. – Teddy

Teddy hasn’t done anything terrible…he’s just trying to make a point through healthy food. He’s feeding the cranky grump…and possibly trying to get his attention. It’s not his fault if the pain in question takes it as a punishment. Right?

When a mischievous little makes a point through soup shenanigans, a grump with a chip on his shoulder will finally look around and see there’s more to life than drama and frustration…there’s truly terrible soup, coloring, and Christmas presents.

A Perfect Daddy Next Door – Santa’s Little Faker Now Live on Amazon and Free With KU!

They’re here!

Who’s here?

Well, Orlando is back and his book is now live, but Amazon was a bit of a pain in the butt and the preorder for this did not go smoothly. But that’s okay because Santa’s Little Faker is now live and that’s what’s important.

You met Orlando in Who’s Your Daddy…and he was not Terrence’s Daddy, but he was watching everything that naughty little was doing so he could learn from the best.

What was he trying to learn?

How to manipulate the sexy Daddy next door who would make the perfect Daddy…once Bastian gets his head out of the sand and realizes his feelings for Orlando.

Hmm…so shenanigans are obvious here, but knowing Orlando’s family should we have expected anything else?

Santa’s Little Faker has an age gap relationship with two nuts who’ve known each other for years, age play, some fun fantasy dirty talk, and a family that doesn’t understand healthy boundaries. That’s okay, though. It’s a Daddy’s job to save his boy from scary things like an overbearing mother.

Check out the first chapter if want a peek at what these two are up to.

Santa's Little Faker by MA Innes -Gay Romance Book Cover

Orlando’s finding the holidays to be much more interesting after working on the fascinating and highly educational Terrence’s house. He learned all about fun new books, what it means to be little, and what to look for in a Daddy…and he knows just were to apply all that knowledge…his neighbor and closeted Daddy…Bastian. Now he just needs to figure out how to get the stubborn man’s attention.

Bastian’s finding the holidays to be much more stressful this year when he discovers his frustrating neighbor has somehow ended up with a Secret Santa Daddy and is doing his best to throw himself into discovering his little side. Now he needs to figure out how to chase off the scam artist and protect Orlando from himself…because that’s what a good neighbor would do, right?

What’s a cutie to do when the man of his dreams keeps putting his head in the sand? Invent a Secret Santa, of course.

In 2024, I ran a series called ‘Past Pages’ in my reader group. Each month, I’d spotlight past books published during that month – sharing writing secrets, character insights, and the stories behind them. I even opened the floor for questions and comments. This year, I’m bringing ‘Past Pages’ to my blog! Feel free to join the conversation, whether you participated last year, or not. I’m excited to revisit these books with you!

Let’s take a closer look at 3 of the titles released in the past.

Family by Fate by MA Innes - Gay Romance Book Cover

Family By Fate

First of all, this was a really hard month to pick which ones I wanted to talk about because I’ve released stories from a lot of my favorite series and about my favorite characters. So I’ve picked a few of my top cuties to talk about, but the list was daunting.

For those of you who haven’t read this one yet, this is the prequel to The Accidental Master and it shows a peek at an early Christmas for the two subs who are already a couple when the trilogy starts.

These two were already a package deal when I first started thinking about The Accidental Master. They mentioned a few things about their past but their focus was looking forward. Mostly because of Cooper, honestly. But they were in a good place when Jackson came along.

But you guys kept asking about their past and wanted to see more. It just took a little while to figure out what part of their past to show. I don’t like writing sad. It just doesn’t come as easily most of the time as happy stuff does.

Their first Christmas on their own with Cooper’s friendship with the local working girls and Sawyer’s constant grumpy worries as he’s picking out the best present for Cooper were fun to write even though there’s still a lot of stress.

So I think it was a good mix of real stress for them and happiness for me worked out pretty good.

Answer in the comments: But what do you think? Have you read this one? Have you read The Accidental Master series? Do you have any questions for me about Family by Fate?

The Owners - Bound and Controlled series .5 by Shaw Montgomery - Gay Romance Book Cover

The Owners

I really can’t believe how long ago this came out. 2017? How is that possible? And looking at the list of books that have come out in November in past years, this is clearly the time of year that I end up writing bonus stuff.

This was the original bonus short for the owners of the Bound & Controlled club. It gives a peek into their relationship and let me get to know them better. Which eventually lead to their other story. (Becoming The Owners from earlier this year)

But I think my favorite parts of getting to know them have been seeing Conner pop up in random places jumping head first into shenanigans.

Answer in the comments: What’s your favorite place Ben and/or Conner have shown up? Do you have any questions for me about The Owners?

His Human - New Neighbors Series Book 2 by MA Innes - Gay Romance Book Cover

His Human

My favorite part about these books is that they meet and just know there’s something special. Even though Trip meets his alien cutie at the grocery store, he knows there’s something special and he throws himself into their relationship.

This book was probably the hardest to write in the series not because the characters were arguing but because the first one wasn’t planned at all. So with this one there were constantly questions I had to answer.

But I think they have my favorite meet cute in the whole series even though I love how playful all my aliens are.

Have you read these guys?

If you haven’t read this series, it’s about aliens that came to live on Earth and they’re a whole civilization of mostly Doms who love that Earth has so many different kinds of subs. They’re playful Doms who are always pleasantly confused by what humans are getting up to.

Answer in the comments: Do you have any questions for me about His Human?

Too Close to Change- Loving Series Book 7 by MA Innes- Gay Romance Book Cover

Too Close To Change

Okay if you haven’t read this one it’s part of the Loving series or what I most of the time call my Too Close books. They’re taboo (!ncest) and on my site and Smashwords. So if the cover doesn’t look familiar that’s why. (There are going to be spoilers in this so if you’ve just started reading the series skip this post)

Some of my characters like Kevin from this series jump into things head first and some need more time to overthink the situation. So when there are a mix of characters involved I don’t always know how they’re going to react and sometimes I’m the one who’s overthinking things.

That means when this series started to shift from having two couples who were simply best friends to something more going on between them we’d all take turns overthinking and alternating that between surprising Shaw.

This one was one of the surprises. Maddox is not usually the one who throws me for a loop but when he does it’s always interesting lol.

Answer in the comments: Have you guys read this series? Feel free to comment about what you’d like to see in general with these guys too. Do you have any questions for me about Too Close To Change?
