MM romances where love wins over everything. Everyone is welcome at Crush.
From Instant Desire
“Seriously, Sean? You couldn’t talk to me yourself? You had to get someone else to call me to explain?”
Sean was interrupted by a line of questioning from a guy standing by their table. It took him a minute to register who it was.
“Asher?”
“Don’t you Asher, me. What’s going on?” Asher stood there, holding a boy in his arms and two other kids by their hands.
He was about to answer when Janie jumped onto the seat next to him and threw her arms around his neck.
“Sean! I knew you’d come back! I told you, Uncle Asher! See, I told you!” Janie had a tight grip around Sean’s neck, and he could feel himself sinking into her—she was a hard person to ignore, so he wrapped her in his arms gently.
“Hey, Janie.” Sean watched Asher over Janie’s shoulder and took in his angry face. Asher had definitely received a phone call from Mike, and he didn’t look happy about it.
“Well?” Asher said with a little less anger.
“I’m busy with—” Sean started.
“Nope. Try again.” Max snorted, reminding Sean he was there as a witness to this mess.
“You need someone—”
“Nope. Out of excuses yet?”
“Oooh, I like him.” Sean could easily have smacked Max about the head for that comment. Pulling back from Janie, who hadn’t seemed like she wanted to let go, Sean glanced up at Asher.
“You know why.” He kept his gaze on Asher despite the blush that heated his cheeks.
Asher’s gaze softened more. “Not really.” He glanced across at Max, then back to Sean. “I know you were…” another glance to Max, “unhappy with the way we left things yesterday. I just want to understand why.”
Janie left Sean’s seat and walked over to Asher. “It’s okay, Uncle Asher. Sean came back. He’s not unhappy now.” She hugged her arm around Asher’s legs. “I’m happy he’s back.”
Sean swallowed hard at that.
I am Elouise East but feel free to call me Elli. I write sweet and steamy connections in gay romance. I also touch on taboo stories under the name Elouise R East.
Books that tell the stories where friendship and family are the focal point – be it blood family or chosen – is very important to me. That’s why I include a variety of personalities, talents, ages, situations and abilities as I believe a story needs, or a character needs. I want my characters to be real, to be relatable, to be free to have whatever views they tell me they have. And trust me, most of the time, I do not have any say in the matter!
My characters come to life on the page for me as well as my readers. Their stories unfold in front of me, and I have very little input into how they want to be shown. Just like real life, the lives of my characters change with every choice, every interaction and every conversation. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I write books that are emotionally realistic, even if liberties are taken with other aspects of my stories. I don’t know any other way to write. It comes from deep inside.
Who am I? A single parent to two children who make life worth living. An avid reader who still devours every book she can get her hands on. A student of learning about any subject that takes her fancy. An author of books she would read herself. And a romantic at heart who loves anything cheesy.
