I'm currently reading the midpoint sex scene of my ARC and listen. You want the gruff grey-haired trans man who builds canoes with his bare hands and has a trunk full of kink gear and used to be in a punk band and is still trying to avoid COVID. You also want the giant salamander monster.

LOVE AND LAKE MONSTERS by @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social I had an ABSOLUTE blast reading this and I will be hoarding this book along with my other inevitable rereads. If you want to read my longer review, I posted it on Instagram! (I'll link it below!)

Upstate New York scenery hinting at the beginning of fall, a comic of scenic panels leading to three more panels. First panel is an older man, named Mack, in plaid with longer graying hair, a beard, beefy and hairy physique looking up from what he's doing and saying: "Ya know why I like you?"

The next panel, a younger man, named Nathan, shorter brown hair and posed silly and confident responds: "My enviable hairline?" The speech bubble leads to the last panel of him putting his hands up to apologize, "Sorry, I can't turn it off."

folks... Rears & Vices was reviewed in Publishers Weekly!! And it's a FANTASTIC review! 😭 www.publishersweekly.com/9781968767006

review in publishers weekly:
Rears & Vices
E.M. Caro. E.M. Caro, $18.99 trade paper (380p) ISBN 978-1-968767-00-6
Caro debuts with an entertaining polyamorous pirate romance set in 1816. After the disastrous loss of his ship, Capt. Everard Anderson de Anglada is just trying to hang onto his Royal Navy career long enough to be put to shore with a pension. When he’s called to assist in a court-martial, Everard finds one former lover, Post-Capt. Preston D’Arcy, at his side as part of the court-martial panel—and another, Vitaliy Gray, in the dock, under charges that mean he’ll hang. Panicked, Everard fabricates enough evidence to contradict the charges. But Vitaliy is more than just a Marine, as Everard thought; he’s the notorious pirate V. Varfolomey, and defending him means Everard has put his own neck on the line. A grateful Vitaliy concocts a plan: should Everard become his husband and heir to his command, Vitaliy’s crew will surely accept him. But with D’Arcy joining them as they flee south, intent on rekindling things with Everard himself, and three nations and a rival pirate crew all after them, the path to a happy ending is far from smooth sailing. The quantity of double crosses and political intrigue sometimes overwhelms the love story, but the emotional and physical chemistry between the men is strong and the swashbuckling adventure is good fun. As naughty as it is nautical, this is a winner. (Self-published)

my ankles are damn near indestructible HOWEVER: my next book, By Any Means, comes out in THREE WEEKS (Sept. 8th) and people happen to be saying *wonderful* things about it! books2read.com/ByAnyMeans

Blurb Reveal! "By Any Means is methodically researched, smartly plotted, and written with such nuance and sophistication that surely E.M. Caro's career is destined for the stars." –C.S. Poe, author of the award-winning Memento Mori series

text is placed above a picture of two men: the man on the left is blond, handsome, wearing a flat cap and a blue houndstooth suit. he's holding a fountain pen in his right hand. The man on the right is dark-blond haired, dodgy-looking, wearing a country suit and knickerbocker plus-twos trousers and holding a pair of sharp-looking glassblowing tongs - called "jacks."
they are surrounded by blueberries on a backdrop of a 1905 photo of the Bowery, NYC. Book is By Any Means by E.M. Caro.

"Me and a socialist journalist have apparently both been successfully enchanted by a capitalist heir who is far too neurodivergent to be doing capitalism successfully. 5 stars."

"Caro makes sure the truths are earned through blood, sweat, and tears." "The mystery genuinely hooked me from start to finish." "Everything I look for in a historical romance."

"Laurie and Chary... are going to continue living in my head well beyond the pages of the book." "5 stars for a fantastic mystery, endearing and deep charactesr, and historical insight into queer history."
