Miguel Rodriguez stood by his friend Xavier’s side when evidence of his affair with another man came out. He also stuck by Xavier when he disappeared from Atlanta and moved to the mountains of Wyoming. But he will not stand by Xavier when he decides to marry his young lover and still run for the Senate.
Hopping on a plane to Wyoming, Miguel finds himself meeting Julian Canton, a young man who has no political ambitions and doesn’t even vote, and yet Miguel finds himself fascinated. Miguel makes the mistake of upgrading Julian’s ticket so they can get to know each other better and somehow finds himself in Riverton, WY, holding Julian’s hand as he says goodbye to his brother. Giving in to his attraction to the young man, Miguel struggles not only with his physical attraction but with his emotional one as well. When he compounds his mistake by inviting Julian along with him to talk to Xavier, he soon finds himself feeling something he has never felt before. Will he join his friend Xavier in listening to his heart or will he walk away?
Excerpt
“How in the world did you make us being friends sound so dirty?” Julian asked.
Miguel chuckled. “Oh that’s easy. I can make anything sound dirty. It’s all about lowering my voice and making everything you say the most seductive thing you’ve ever uttered.”
Julian’s eyebrows rose. “Oh really? Prove it.”
Miguel leaned forward, ignoring the people walking past them, juggling their carry-ons, children, friends and spouses as they exited the plane. He lowered his voice and stared at Julian’s groin, his brain filling with images of Julian’s cock encaged in a cock ring, his body straining against restraints, his skin glistening with sweat as he pleaded with Miguel to let him come.
“Voting for a presidential candidate is one of the best things you can do as an American, because it guarantees that your voice is heard, even when it doesn’t feel like it. It’s a time when you can take control, assert your independence and make sure that you have someone in office who cares about what you care about.” He could hear how seductive his voice sounded and if the darkening of Julian’s eyes was any indication, the man was turned on—though more by the tenor of Miguel’s voice than his actual words. “You should think about voting, Julian,” he said, rolling the younger man’s name around in his mouth like a fine wine. “Enclosing yourself in a booth and either punching a hole or touching a screen and choosing who the head of the country is going to be.”
Julian was panting, his pink lips parted as he stared at Miguel. “Holy fuck,” he croaked out. “That was the sexiest thing I’ve ever heard about the most boring subject in the world.”
Q and A with Vicktor Alexander
How much of the book is realistic?
I wouldn’t say it’s realistic as in I’m a Hispanic man or know of a Hispanic man who works as a campaign manager for a politician. But it’s realistic as in the situations no doubt have occurred, the emotions are real, and the BDSM aspect is very much based on my 13 years in the BDSM Lifestyle, 12 of which I’ve spent being a Dom and one of which I spent training to be one.
If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
That’s pretty hard to choose from, I feel as though I’ve learned a lot from a lot of different authors, even before I came into the M/M Romance and Fiction genre, but I would have to say that in reference to the M/M genre itself, Cherie Noel would probably be my mentor. I spent a lot of time with her going over ideas and she spent a lot of time telling me different areas I was strong in as well as helping in the areas where I was weakest. Next to her it would probably be other author friends like Stormy Glenn, Toni Griffin, Mary Calmes, Amy Lane, Mychael Black, Taylor Law, GK Masterson, my besties Patty and Adara O’Hare… the list just goes on and on.
What book are you reading now?
I actually just bought Brandon Witt’s When the Stars Fall that I’m hoping to get a chance to read once I meet my deadlines. *fingers crossed*
Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest?
I’m always on the lookout for new authors, I’d have to say that Riley Hart, JH Knight, Emmett (E.S.) Skipper, and Renae Kaye are probably the newest authors that I’ve started reading whose stuff I’m hooked on.

I haven't met him yet. :)
ReplyDeleteVic, awesome post!
ReplyDeleteGreat Post Vicktor. I went to high school with my husband. We didn't start dating until college. I was home one weekend and was bored. All my other friends were still off to college. I called his house and asked him to the movies. I'll never forget it. His dad did that thing where he asked about my parents, how long I lived in town, what my father did, where we were going. I thought it was hilarious, my now husband not so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the responses everyone! Teja, don't despair you'll meet him. I'm crossing my fingers for you. Thanks, Cherie! And Denise, that sounds like an awesome story! Way to take the initiative! Your father-in-law sounds hilarious.
