Kinky Sprinkles by @GallagherWitt Virtual Book Tour | Spotlight, Excerpt & #giveaway #mmromance @RiptideBooks

Welcome to the Riptide Publishing/L. A. Witt blog tour for Kinky Sprinkles!

 Joel has finally walked away from his abusive ex and is ready to meet new people. But that isn’t easy for a guy who’s shy, self-conscious, and struggling with his body image.

Andre has wanted Joel since the first time he laid eyes on him, and finally Joel is single. But Andre is a Dom and a sadist, and Joel is unapologetically vanilla. There’s no happy medium—either Andre reins in the kinky side that took him years to accept, or Joel grits his teeth and subjects himself to kinks that aren’t his thing. No matter who bends, someone’s going to be unhappy.

They agree to walk away, but they keep circling back to each other. Though their kinks might not line up, the chemistry between them sizzles and the emotional connection keeps getting deeper. But none of that will get them anywhere if they can’t find some kind of middle ground in the bedroom.

Excerpt...

Joel had gotten used to the absence of his collar, but today, his throat felt conspicuously naked. As he walked across the restaurant with his friend April, he resisted the urge to rub his neck in search of that thick leather strap. It was gone, and good riddance, but he was suddenly reminded of the precariously weightless feeling that accompanied driving without a seat belt. Not that the collar had ever made him feel safe and secure so much as owned andrestrained, but joining this group without it was weird. So maybe the feeling was more like driving past a cop car and realizing he wasn’t wearing a seat belt. Well, hopefully no one would notice.

Oh, but they did.

As he approached the long table where the group always gathered, a few people looked at him, some doing double takes. They probably hadn’t expected to see him any more than he’d expected to show up.

Still a safe distance away, he stopped and turned to April. “This is stupid. I don’t know why I’m here.”

April touched his back. “Relax.”

“I am relaxed.”

“No, you’re not.” She gave him a gentle push. “You’re here because these are your friends.”

Joel scowled. “This isn’t my crowd anymore. I don’t have anything in common with—”

“Honey. We’ve been through this.” She exhaled sharply. “For God’s sake, no one here cares if you’re done with kink.” She waved a hand toward the group. “They’re just having lunch and a few beers. It isn’t like anyone’s going to try to collar you or cuff you to something.”

Shuddering violently, he avoided her eyes and all of theirs.

“Come on.” She squeezed his arm. “They’re just going to be happy to see you. Especially without Rob.”

Joel pursed his lips. She had a point. His ex-boyfriend/Dom hadn’t been terribly popular among the members of their local dungeon. Joel was still fuzzy on what exactly had led to Rob being banned for life—that had happened sometime in the three months since they’d split—but at least he could be absolutely sure the asshole wouldn’t show up here.

Just like I shouldn’t show up here. What am I doing?

L.A. Witt is an abnormal M/M romance writer who has finally been released from the purgatorial corn maze of Omaha, Nebraska, and now spends her time on the southwestern coast of Spain. In between wondering how she didn’t lose her mind in Omaha, she explores the country with her husband, several clairvoyant hamsters, and an ever-growing herd of rabid plot bunnies. She also has substantially more time on her hands these days, as she has recruited a small army of mercenaries to search South America for her nemesis, romance author Lauren Gallagher, but don’t tell Lauren. And definitely don’t tell Lori A. Witt or Ann Gallagher. Neither of those twits can keep their mouths shut…
