Kevin and a Fire Filled Science Experiment – A Bonus Text Convo

Inspiration for books comes in a variety of ways like songs and random things people around me say. But most of the inspiration for bonus shorts and text conversations like this usually come from different places. And the inspiration for the different groups of friends come from different places too.

The dragons like the games on my phone. They have crazy opinions and thoughts on what’s going on in the games and it’s a constant odd stream of random comments.

But Kevin and the gang love memes and silly things that get posted in the Facebook group where you guys to “Look at this. Kevin would love it.” Yep. He does.

This is one of those pictures that got posted in the group and I just had to show you what the guys thought about it.

So if you’ve already enjoyed Too Close to Ignore and need another fix check out the text conversation below or some of the other fun stuff over on Patreon.

Plain text version of texts is shown below each image.


Loving Series Text Bonus Convo - Image 1

Kevin: What do you think about this?

Cody: Oh…I’m not supposed to design experiments that deal with fire. I didn’t do it but some people aren’t careful.
Bryan: That’s pretty.

Cody: You were supposed to tell him no. That’s your job. Then that would’ve meant you’d told me no so I couldn’t get in trouble.
Bryan: Sorry.
Cody: That wasn’t believable at all.
Bryan: I’ll try again? I’m sorry I wasn’t the logical person in this situation.
Cody: Thank you.
Kevin: I didn’t say you were designing an experiment. Someone else already did that. I was just very skeptical about it and I think we need to double check their results.
Cody: Well…at first glance I think it could’ve gone further.

Kevin: See! I knew it.
Bryan: Can you get in trouble if you’re just checking someone else’s results…it’s like checking their homework right?
Cody: Um, Daddy said I can’t trust either of your logic.
Kevin: I’ll get someone like Hayden to explain it to you. Would that help?
Cody: Yes. Thank you. That will work as long as he doesn’t tell his Daddy. That’s one Daddy that can hold a grudge.
Kevin: No one was hurt and the cops weren’t mad. I don’t know why he can’t let it go.

Bryan: Because he knows we make spectacularly bad decisions when left unsupervised?
Cody: Yes. Unfortunately.
Kevin: It’s for science. It’s educational.
Cody: I don’t think you know what that means.
Bryan: He doesn’t.
Kevin: So…where do you think we can build a trebuchet?

Too Close to Love- Loving Series Book 1 by MA Innes- Gay Romance Book Cover

Start the Loving series at the beginning, for free!

Some events just change how you look at a person. One thing can make them go from someone who’s just always there to someone who matters…More than they should.

Kevin knows that no one would understand what he feels for Jeremy. Even Jeremy would be shocked if he found out. But what do you do when you fall in love with the one person you were never supposed to need?

This is not a stand-alone story; books must be read in order.

A Well Planned Road Trip With a Few Daddy Surprises – Too Close to Ignore is Now Live!

Road trip time!

Too Close to Ignore is live and Kevin is ready to show you how to plan a road trip that is unforgettable. He’s got a first aid kit, a sex kit, and plenty of room in the car to drive everyone bananas.

He and Bryan also have everything planned down to the tiniest detail…with the only exception being some surprises from the Daddies.

I had so much fun with this book and they’ve gone to some of my favorite places. I made up a few too but let’s see if you can figure out which is which.

Either way, these guys have a ton of fun on their trip but there’s a lot of growth too. There’s also a couple of scenes that you guys have been asking for, so I was very glad everyone behaved and didn’t go off script too much.

Kevin just can’t help himself, though.

Too Close to Ignore is book 11 in the Loving series which is a taboo bro-cest series that must be read in order, so if you haven’t read this one yet, start with book 1 which is free and read the blurbs. It starts as a slow burn but gets hotter through the series and eventually mixes with the cuties from the Pieces series. (click here to see suggested reading order for the two series together)

Click HERE if you haven’t grabbed the recent freebie which is book 10.5 and HERE if you haven’t started this series yet and need book one.

Have fun with my cuties and I can’t wait to see what you think should come next for these guys.

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.

A Career Changer, A Hated Character, Aliens Making Movies, and a Birthday Present (May Past Pages)

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!

Flawed Perfection by MA Innes- Gay Romance Book Cover

Flawed Perfection

When I wrote this, I called it the never-ending story because it was the longest thing I’d written at that point. I was taking some feedback I’d gotten at in earlier books and was trying not to rush it. I just wanted to see where the story would go, but it drove me nuts.

I’m pretty sure they didn’t even kiss until halfway through the book lol.

I loved Nathan’s hysterical internal monologue and I loved how it never stayed in his head like he thought. He’s just adorable and I loved how much fun he had discovering his pup side. There’s a scene on the bed where he’s chasing around his tail just to see it and it’s so funny. He’s just adorable.

But I was so glad when that book was finally done lol.

Now it wouldn’t be a ridiculous length, but at the time, it just kept going and the other authors I was talking to at the time said that kink books are never that long. That made me sooo nervous to hear.

But this book changed my writing career.

It made more in the first week of it’s release than I’d made the entire month before (probably the two months before lol). I remember calling my sister (the only one who knows what I write) and I was so excited. I was also a pain in the butt lol because I kept texting her every day saying that it was still selling great.

This is the book that showed me I could write full time and that it wasn’t an impossible dream. So thank you to everyone of you who read it when it first came out. I really appreciate that and everything you did for me. That was a rough time in my life and I really needed this to work and you helped more than you know.

So thank you!

Answer in the comments: Do you have any questions for me about Flawed Perfection?

Eli - Leashes and Lace Book 2 by Shaw Montgomery- Gay Romance Book Cover

Eli

You guys nearly killed me after this one. If I’ve got gray hairs, it’s because sooo many people commented and even messaged me about how much they hated Eli.

Passionately.

Even the first reviews were terrible.

This book probably gave me an ulcer, but I think he’s wonderfully insane and I had fun writing them screaming at each other lol. Those were the craziest scenes to write and they had sooo much passion and so little common sense.

He seems to have grown on everyone because no one sends me crazy messages about him anymore but I loved how utterly insane he is and how he just charges into everything in life.

Even when he shouldn’t.

I love his crazy relationship with Roman. I love how they’re constantly getting caught doing naughty things together.

I love how they justify their insane relationship. I love how they’re perfect for each other and made each other better people.

But I was very glad once they stopped screaming at each other because they made everyone else in my head really anxious.

Answer in the comments: But what are your favorite things about Eli? Have you read about the Leashes and Lace guys yet? Do you have any questions for me about Eli?

Your Mate - New Neighbors Series Book 0.5 by MA Innes - Gay Romance Book Cover

Your Mate

My aliens! These guys are always so much fun but this one was different because I’d never expected to write this story.

One of the side couples that was mentioned in the first couple of books was a human/alien couple who were making adult movies lol.

It seemed logical to me because they think humans are fascinating and humans like doing naughty things. I was right. They were both very curious and adorably naughty. They were just throwing themselves at each other when they first said hello and it just got better the more they talked.

I love writing these books and I had so much fun writing the new one. Yep, we’ve got a new one coming up soon. His Theo going to be out at the end of May and I can’t wait to show you what’s been going on in this world.

Have you read about the movie couple? It’s on my site and Smashwords because Amazon thought the cover was scandalous lol.

Answer in the comments: What would you like to see happen in this universe? I’m kind of curious to see what they’d think about puppy play lol. Do you have any questions for me about Your Mate?

Second-Guessing Love by MA Innes - Gay Romance Book Cover

Second-Guessing Love

This one has an interesting back story to it. If you haven’t read the book this is the dedication page (the book was written in 2019).

For Courtney
Just over a year ago, my editor Courtney made a post on Facebook where she asked for someone to put all the things she loved in one book. When the memory came up in my Facebook feed, I knew I had to try to write it for her. This is a short book, so everything wouldn’t fit, but here’s my best shot.
Courtney’s Wish List:
Picture this: a pierced, tatted, obsessive/stalker bodyguard hero hooks up with his angry, mouthy, toppy twink brother for lots of kinky rough wall sex and maybe some DP…aaand maybe a bit dubcon…and cum kisses.

It was originally short and I wrote it just for her birthday but later it was expanded a bit. It’s still the most fascinating list of ideas for one book I’ve ever seen and I had fun with these guys.

Have you read this one? It’s definitely a bit different than my usual books but there’s just something fun about obsessive guys.

Answer in the comments: What would your wish list be if you could have everything you love in one book? Do you have any questions for me about Second Guessing Love?

A 7K Short Freebie – Too Close To Resist: The After Party Bonus is Live!

I’ve got something fun for you…but I can’t tell you much about it.

Ugh. Author problems.

So…how do I explain a short freebie for the Too Close cuties without spoiling anything?

Um.

If you read book 10 (Too Close to Resist) and you wanted to see what happened next, this is what you’ve been waiting for.

That’s not too spoilery.

What else?

This is an edited short that’s 7k words.

Um, you HAVE to have read book 10 before you read the freebie which is really 10.5. It won’t make sense otherwise and you’ll get frustrated because of spoiler stuff.

Book 11 (Too Close to Ignore) is up on preorder now and will be out on May 30th, and while this needs to be read in order of the main series, you don’t need to read the bonus short to enjoy Too Close to Ignore.

But I don’t know why you’d skip that one…so if you’re going to skip the freebie and jump right to book 11 let me know. I’m very curious why you’d do that. Some of you have fascinating logic that has gone in other books, though, so I’m sure it’ll be a good explanation.

And I need more slightly squirrely opinions to go in Dally’s book. He’s full of interesting tidbits.

So…nothing spoilery in this post. You know it’s going to be fun. Kevin’s going to say something ridiculous. Bryan is going to surprise himself or you. Maddox is going to laugh. Shenanigans will be enjoyed by all as long as Jeremy doesn’t worry too much.

Too Close to Resist: The After Party Bonus- Loving Series Book 10.5- by MA Innes - Gay Romance Book Cover

“I’m not trying to be annoying to them…just you.”

When four friends come together as a family and get closer than ever, sometimes celebrations involve cake and sometimes they involve naughtier fun.

Author’s Note: This bonus short takes place after book 10, Too Close to Resist, and must be read in order to avoid spoilers. This short contains spoilers for Too Close to Resist. Clear enough? I don’t want anyone frustrated with me. Teasing is fun, frustrated is not.

WIP Wednesday: Dally Story Time, A Possessive Dom, Strip Searches, and Drunk Scrabble

What has Shaw been up to? A variety of things.

More random bonus chapters that Sage is in charge of figuring out where they go (I’ve given up because there are just too many.)

More words in on the actual stories I’m supposed to be working on.
More words in the Patreon book.
More words in the bonus chapters I’m supposed to be working on.

Someone needs to explain why random stuff is easier and faster to get done than the stuff I want to write and have planned on writing.

But I’ve added words to Dally’s book that doesn’t have a name…

“I have lots of stories. Bathroom stories and getting lost stories and frog stories and getting lost with the frog stories.” Dally seemed to be serious about that list which just made Harley’s smile widen. “Oh, and then there are cake stories and getting lost because of the cake stories.”

Dally’s kind of weird.

And Watching Me, the Patreon book.

“The dating websites say not to take advantage of a nice guy if you want him to keep dating you.”

Had I mentioned how adorable he was?

“I’m not a nice guy. I’m a possessive Dom.” That had him blinking at me and frowning. “So there’s a different set of rules.”

And Lorne’s arrest bonus scene is coming together and is almost done. (Sage is going to be relieved to know that.)

“No. Strip searches before keys or diner idiots.”

And the omegas are playing Scrabble while intoxicated.

“No. He said no moonshine in the luggage and no booze in the first aid kit.” Austin shook his head and shrugged. “He said nothing about the trunk of the car or that weird spot where the spare tire goes. It’s not my fault he left loopholes and I like spankings.”

So I have been very busy even though both my kids were home last week and they are incredibly distracting.

Wish me luck that the rest of the month is just as productive.

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.

Loving Series by MA Innes -Price Increase graphic notice

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.
