Catch up on the Loving Series – Price Increase June 20th

I’ve gotten some questions on social media about playing catchup with the Loving series, so I wanted to explain a few things to help you guys before Too Close to Ignore comes out on the 30th.

A lot of new readers have grabbed the first book which is free but aren’t sure the best way to keep reading the series.

If you want to binge read for the cheapest price, the best way to grab the books is the bundle HERE. It’s 35% cheaper than buying the books individually and will help you get caught up before Too Close to Ignore goes live.

If you’re a one at a time kind of reader (This is me, so no issues with it.) then you can get the ebooks individually on my site HERE or Smashwords.

I’m a work my way through a series one at a time kind of reader, but I wanted to give you a heads up about doing this because the books will be going up in price in June.

I haven’t raised prices on my books since I first started writing and unfortunately EVERYTHING in life is a lot more expensive. I also need to make sure there’s consistency in pricing so you know what to expect from the length of my books in general.

So for the immediate release of book 11 I’m going to keep the $2.99 price, but on June 20th, I’m going to increase the price to $3.99 on the books in this series.

But I know that money is tight, which is why I give you discounts where I can and I keep as many books as I can in KU.

I also do freebies on a regular basis, so if you aren’t getting the newsletter then I would suggest signing up. That’s the easiest place to make sure you’re getting notifications when a book goes on sale. I also do giveaways in the newsletters and discounted preorders on the longer books.

I think I’ve answered the questions I’ve gotten through social media but please feel free to message me on FB or contact me here if I missed something you needed answered.

Happy reading and I can’t wait to show you what my naughty cuties are up to. Road trips are so much fun with these four.

The Foursome Are Going On A Road Trip – Pre-Order Too Close to Ignore, Now!

Are you ready for a road trip?

I have to admit that I like going places and for the most part I really like road trips…by myself or with my kiddos. I would love to be able to go on a trip with Kevin and the gang, but since that’s not an option then reading about it is the next best thing.

Too Close to Ignore is now up on preorder and this is a fun road trip adventure with Kevin behaving questionably, Bryan being a big boy, Maddox thoroughly enjoying himself, and Jeremy wondering how he got talked into something so ridiculous.

Bryan’s decided it’s because Kevin is cute.

But no matter how they got talked into it they’re heading to the beach and are going to all of my favorite places to go for a long weekend.

I’ve taken some liberties with a few things but most are real life places I’ve gone to on short getaways when the walls are closing in. So I can’t wait to see you guess which are real and which are fiction. Yep, that’s going to be my favorite part of this release.

Too Close to Ignore is up on preorder on my site and will be live on the 30th. Smashwords is in the process of migrating my account behind the scenes, so while I’m going to work on getting it up there, I have to wait on their systems to update.

I’m so excited for this release and I hope you have fun with their newest book.

Oh, and if you haven’t grabbed the freebie which is book 10.5 then click here to download it. You don’t need to read that to enjoy book 11, though.

Happy reading.

PS: The Loving series needs to be read in order. If you haven’t read any of the books before, you can grab book 1, Too Close to Love, for free in my shop.

Too Close to Ignore - Loving Series Book 11 by MA Innes- Gay Romance Book Cover

“How does his insistence that he followed the rules and Bryan’s limits make him look even more guilty?”

Kevin didn’t do it…well, not on purpose anyway. Just because Bryan’s hiding in little space and acting weird doesn’t mean Kevin’s at fault. Accidents happen…even accidental orgasms. But it was for science and he’s going to make sure everyone knows it too.

“Why is he hiding? Did you manage to talk him into sex in the car to prove you could?”

When planning for a road trip shakes things up, a cutie with newfound confidence learns it’s going to take more than hints and blushes to get what he’s set his mind…and his heart on.

WIP Wednesday: Short Teasers for Watching Me and Dally

Well, last week there was no WIP post because the only thing I did was finish up Too Close to Ignore.

The only thing. (I’m glad to have gotten it done but the people in my head don’t like being stuck doing one project. lol)

So I’ve been playing catch up on to-do list stuff and a lot of the backlog of creative nonsense that has built up in my head.

That meant I got words in on my Patreon book, Watching Me… (check out chapter 1 for free)

“I’m glad. I can’t wait to show off for you.” Admittedly, I was an attention whore and exhibitionist but showing off for someone I was really starting to like was the best feeling ever. Hoping Tommy could understand that, I stepped away from the window and wrapped my arms around him. “Since you have my number now, will you text me afterwards and tell me how sexy I looked?”

And I wrote some in Dally’s book…

Strangling him would be too easy but it would shut him up.

Hmm, we’ve got someone who isn’t a fan of Dally.

I’ve also gotten a ridiculous number of short bonus fun things written. So many I’m not sure where some of them are going to go. I’ve got a Too Close alternate POV chapter that was a request from a reader on Patreon, and some stuff from Hiding From Laughter because I was curious about what Sawyer was thinking. Oh, and I’ve got a fun text conversation from Kevin and the guys relating to a meme that was being passed around on FB.

So yes, my creative side is happy and now I’m off to make Sage happy but working more on my to-do list.

Wish me luck.

WIP Wednesday: Kevin Annoys Jeremy and Random Inspiration

I’ve made progress on weird things over the past week and did a lot of family stuff. I brought my daughter home from college for the summer and lost a lot of time with that, though. But she’s happy to be home and I’m glad to have her back. So I’ll get a bit more caught up over the next couple of days.

I finished the short freebie that’s going to be for the Too Close series. You have to read book 10 before you read the bonus. Have to. Major spoilery things in that if you jump ahead. But I love how it turned out and it’s long enough that it’s going to be in ebook form by the end of next week once it’s been edited.

“So…we’re assuming…what?” Kevin seemed dead set on me being the one to fuck up the situation based on how intently he was studying me. “I’m not trying to be annoying to them…just you.”

“Thanks for clarifying that.” He was so ridiculous. “It’s working.”

He flashed me a grin before throwing himself at me and wrapping his arms around my neck. “I know. You’re so sexy when you’re trying not to strangle me.”

We really needed to work on his self-preservation instincts.

And here’s another piece of book 11 Too Close to Ignore (See? It finally has a title. lol) because I’m making amazing progress on that.

“I’m not rewarding him.” Maddox didn’t believe that in the slightest, but I appreciate the attempt. “I’m hoping that…I’m hoping that making him feel loved will make getting the explanation easier.”

Oh, good one.

Not that was going to fall for it.

“You’re so sweet.” Pretending he’d just told me he loved me, I kissed his cheek and bounced away. “I do feel loved and now I’m going to show you how special you are by making fresh whipped cream for you.”

Jeremy groaned again. “For fuck’s sake.”

Ha.

Even he knew I’d won.

And since Shaw is an author that gets inspiration in random places, here’s a new cutie that I’m poking at. We’ll see what happens with him but a longer version of this will probably go up on Patreon next week if inspiration keeps flowing for it.

“I…I always see Ms. Clara. She’s…she’s my massage therapist.” The wide-eyed look I was currently getting from the awkward cutie had me wondering what was going through his head. “She’s…she’s my massage person. My…my person.”

Did he think I was confused about that?

“Ms. Clara has unfortunately decided to retire.” Because her current boytoy had gotten a new job in some weird Caribbean country I’d never heard of and she’d decided she was in love. “If you’d like, I can get you rescheduled with one of the other massage therapists.”

Somehow that had his eyes going even wider. “She…she was the only woman.”

Um, okay.

She’d also been nearly seventy, so unless he also had a thing for dirty old ladies, he hadn’t picked her out because of her looks. And since her personality was soft battle ax, he hadn’t stayed with her for the last year because of that either.

Trauma?

Lots of new words and new cuties and some other bonus chapter stuff. I’ve made good progress on the short for Lorne where he’s getting arrested. Our easily frustrated deputy has been talked into arresting Lorne and it’s so funny.

Okay, off to work on my to-do list because I didn’t have internet access most of the day and you’d be surprised at how many things that fucked up. Wish me luck getting all the words in and everything checked off my list.

Want more teasers and WIP stories from me? There will be new full WIP chapters up on Patreon soon for tiers 2 and 3!

WIP Wednesday: Kevin’s Confused, A First Time at the Club, and a Nosy Dally

I’ve been working on a few things Too Close related. I’m going to try not to spoil anything but if you’re behind on the Loving books then it’s time to catch up. So no spoilers but if you were curious about what happens after the last Loving book then I’m going to have a short bonus story coming up to show you what happens that night.

Book 11 now has a title and I’m several chapters in. Kevin is loving the chaos of their road trip but he’s either slightly confused about something or playing dumb…it’s hard to tell so we’ll have to see.

“How did we end up getting talked into this?” Jeremy’s question might’ve been aimed at Maddox but Bryan decided to be helpful.

“He’s cute. It’s dangerous.”

Aww.

The anthology novella is done as well and it’s from the omegaverse. I’m really curious to see what you think of it because we’ve got a new sub at the club and we’re seeing a new type of playroom. How much to tease? It’s hard to tell. A little one…do you remember our Milkshake cutie from the One of Those Days series?

Going to the club for the first time will make anyone nervous.

“We’ve decided to be mostly clothed. We’re not into anything confusing yet. We’re not loud people in general or attention whores. I am confident that we will not be the most interesting people in there.” I shrugged as he giggled. “Now, give us a few more months of research and we might find other things that make us stand out.”

And last but not least I’m playing with Dally’s book. He’s delightfully nosy and is butting in on a random conversation.

What would they do when the vanilla-looking businessman’s dick was done?

Age gap couples needed to plan better, but they never did.

Okay, we could fix this. They had good chemistry, that’d been obvious just eavesdropping, so we just needed to push them to talk about more practical things.

Like oil changes and vacations and grocery shopping…the important shit that would make or break a relationship.

God, what if one of them was a grocery store lister and one was a pantser and they couldn’t handle that?

Lots to write and lots to figure out. Don’t forget to share ideas that you’ve got for some of our side characters or upcoming books.

A Sweet Established Couple – Hiding From Laughter (expanded) is now Live on Amazon and Free in KindleUnlimited!

Micha and Ashton are back and Hiding From Laughter is now live on Amazon. Writing novellas is ridiculously hard, so I was excited to go back and fill out their story like I really wanted to the first time. Seeing them go on dates and giving Ashton more time to explore all the things he’s secretly curious about was so much fun.

But I have to admit his ridiculous stubbornness is one of my favorite things about him. He’s not worried about looking silly or even being logical. He’s not afraid to remind Micha that he doesn’t have to talk if he doesn’t want to and he’s more than willing to ignore all the consequences of it.

He’s an adorable nut and I can see why Micha loves him to pieces…but I can also see why Micha needs to push him a bit.

So if you’re ready for cute fun with lots of spicy scenes and a visit to the Bound and Controlled club, then I hope you have fun with Hiding From Laughter.

This has:
-A mostly nonverbal little using diapers
-A naughty cutie who’s curious about being tickled until he loses control
-A visit to the B&C Club and that bathroom everyone’s been eyeing
-A few familiar faces at the club
-And two men who are wonderfully sweet but have the most ridiculous conversations…because Ashton is a bit of a menace.

Check out the first chapter if you haven’t read that yet and here’s the link to a fun bonus chapter with Ben and Conner. They’re going over Ashton’s club application and we’re just going to say that’s it’s a bit cheeky.

Hiding From Laughter (extended edition) by MA Innes - Early Access Pre-Order - Gay Romance Book Cover

I should’ve never crafted drunk.

Ashton knew being too honest when putting ideas into their jar of fantasies would come back to bite him at some point, and unfortunately he’s finally reached that point. So…now what? How is he supposed to explain his slightly curious fantasies when he isn’t sure where to start?

Maybe he just needs better ways to avoid the conversation completely?

Micha knows his not-so-subtle partner is hiding something…probably something ridiculous, knowing Ashton…but he’s got to decide how long he’s willing to let the insanity continue. Eventually, Ashton has to say what’s on his mind, right?

When crafting leads to nervous confessions and laughter, tickling won’t be the only thing that brings them closer together than ever before.

Author’s Note: This was originally in the Naughty November 2024 anthology under the Shaw side of things, but it’s been expanded and has been moved over to the MA Innes side. Ashton is curious about a lot of things, but Hiding From Laughter explores tickling that leads to a loss of bladder control and the little side he’s doing his best to ignore. Please see the author’s site for a longer content list.
