Spice it Up:

Herbs de Provence by Jenna Jones

Chef Harry Whelan spends most of the year traveling from country to country, learning new dishes. He always comes home to San Francisco, to his friends and family, including Dix Alexander and the boy Dix raised, Nicholas.

Harry returns from his latest wanderings to find that Nicholas, has gone from shy and sullen teenager, to a confident, attractive young man. They discover a mutual love of the dishes of Provence and the town where Nicholas was born and Harry spent a very happy year, Saignon. Harry and Nicholas begin a passionate affair, but Harry is convinced he can never compete with Nicholas’s idolizing of Dix anymore than he can stop his own need to wander.

They’re both searching for home, whether Provence or San Francisco, but maybe they just need to find it in each other.

BBA Menage Toy Box:

Toy Box: Kitchen Sink Menage edited by M. Rode with stories by Penelope Friday, Alex Marcus-Jacobs and JL Merrow

Sometimes a kitchen spoon is just a spoon, and sometimes it isn't. These three stories throw in everything but the kitchen sink for a little kinky ménage play. We begin with After the Fire by Alex Marcus-Jacobs. After a fire has destroyed the only home that Onyx and owners-slash-dominants know, they're left without a single toy to play with. When he pushes that point with his owners, he learns a memorable lesson about the use of some much less conventional objects.

JL Merrow brings us Subtlety. Six months after walking out on her abusive boyfriend, life’s looking good for Claire. She’s living in a beautiful house with two men she adores. The only problem is, she’s started to want a little more than just friendship from her boys. But Tom and Justin are a couple and don’t see her in that way. Or do they? And finally, in No Difference by Penelope Friday, Matthew, Sally and Tristan have been living comfortably together as lovers, indulging their sexual interests as well as being committed partners. However, when Matthew is diagnosed with testicular cancer, a huge strain is put on their relationship. Can they make it through the tough times?

Just as he thinks his wildest dreams are coming true, his long-awaited soulmate Jereth rejects him, crushing his last hopes of rescue and breaking his heart. Jereth must learn to master his fears and open his heart and mind to Caris before Caris' brutish brother can complete his destruction and Jereth himself is left forever alone.
