My Summer of Wes
The Blurb:
Published August 2010
I didn’t know. How could I? All through high school, I was beaten up and teased for being gay. But I wasn’t gay. Or didn’t think I was. Now Wes, the guy across the street who’s taken me under his wing and been the best friend I’ve ever had, won’t stop invading my dreams, hell, my every waking thought. Am I gay? Because I’m thinking I’d like to kiss him. Actually, I’m thinking there’s a lot more I’d like to do with his mouth and the rest of that tall, confident, muscular body. Ah, man… I’m so gay!
But what if he doesn’t feel the same way about me? And, Jesus, what about my parents? And those bastards from school are still around. And I’m supposed to go to college this fall… Shit, I need to sit down. I can’t breathe and I’m about to shake apart.
Then Wes puts his hand on the back of my neck, gives me one of those encouraging squeezes and his bright smile, and everything’s okay again. Yeah, I’m hooked. Oh, boy…

The Excerpt:
It was him, and — oh man — how had I not caught on sooner? Just look at him! Tall, broad shoulders, lean muscles, that friggin’ tight T-shirt showing off sculpted pecs and a flat stomach, jeans riding low enough that I could see the top of that fascinating muscle that pointed to his groin. Oh. My. God. I got hard so fast, I felt a little dizzy.
“Anyone else home?” he asked, stepping in, crowding me back.
I shook my head, the blood filling my cock leaving my brain empty.
He grabbed me up and devoured me.
Wow. Just… Damn. And wow.
So this was what it felt like to have someone want me.
I clung to him, holding on to those shoulders and that neck as he kissed me like he was trying to crawl inside me. God. What would it feel like to have him inside me? To have all this strength and maleness wrapped around me, the most masculine part of him thrust deep, possessing me? I moaned into his mouth, his tongue curling with mine, and hauled our hips together, grinding into him.
He lifted his head and sucked in a lungful of air. “Jesus, baby.” He panted, his hand holding me tight and still against him.
Oh. Shit. Maybe that was too much?
Then he grinned at me. “You keep that up, you’ll have me coming in my jeans.”
I grinned back, seriously loving that I got him just as worked up as he got me.
“Oh, you like that idea, huh?” He chuckled, wrapping his arms around my shoulders, a big hand holding the back of my head.
I held him around his waist, playing with the muscles of his back. “Yeah, I do.”
He nipped at the tip of my nose, making me laugh. “I was going to whisk you away for something sticky and sweet at the cafe, but I’m thinking now I might prefer the cream-filled treat you’ve got in your jeans.”
I shivered, pressing in tighter to him, trying to ease the increasing ache of my dick.
He dipped his head, running his lips over my jaw before nibbling on my neck. I was learning that he had a very talented mouth.
“Let me?” he whispered right into my ear.
Oh God, he was really asking to suck me off right here in my living room.
“One condition,” I managed to say through the haze of desire.
He lifted his head, grinning at me. “Name it.”
“I get to do you after.”
He blinked. Then that grin grew bigger. “Yeah?”
“Yeah. I want to know what you taste like, what you feel like on my tongue.”
His hand gripped my hair almost painfully for a moment as his eyes rolled closed and he bit his lip. Oh, hey. Did he like me talking dirty?
“Will the skin of your dick feel soft in my mouth? Is your precum sort of sweet like mine?”
I couldn’t say anything else, because he descended on my mouth again, clutching me hard. He was a little rough, but I felt him shiver and smiled inside because it just felt so good to know he really did desire me.
Finally, when my lips felt all tingly, he lifted his head again. “I always knew I liked your mouth, Mal.”

I can’t wait to read this! Do you know if or when this will be on sale at other places like Amazon, barnesandnoble.com, fictionwise.com, etc?
Hi, Lacey! I just asked my editor this earlier in the week and she’s going to find out for me. Does Loose Id not have the file type you need?
Oh, the reason I was asking because I just got Amazon and Barnes and Noble gift cards for my birthday. I’ve been wanting this so I figured I would get it as a gift for myself
Of course, I might just have to go ahead and get it from Loose-Id because I really don’t want to have to wait too long to read it!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LACEY! I love gift cards and it’s so cool that my little book is going to be one of your presents.
I really enjoy this book, I really think you need to build on their characters. I think Mal should explore his sexuality more and Wes should be the supportive lover. This should happen after college or during their senior year. was just think that the characters have so much unanswered questions.
Thanks, Jessica, for the comments and suggestions!
They tell me “My Summer of Wes” will be available through Amazon for Kindle around the middle of October. I’ll post an update on my blog and Twitter when that happens, but you might be able to hear me squealing like a little kid.
Just finished your book “My Summer of Wes” and LOOOVED IT!!! Can’t wait for the next one. You have been added to my list of must read authors. Don’t make us wait to long for the next book.
Connie! I’m so glad you loved it : ) I can’t wait for the next one either! I did send Forever Mal to my editor last night, so we’ll see what happens.
Just read My Summer of Wes on the recommendation of someone on ZA Maxfield’s mailing list and I ADORED IT!!! What a wonderful, rich, simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming tale. You can count me as a fan.
Out of curiousity, what else do youhave available, and what can we expect from you next?
Blue
ZAM’s mailing list? Wow! That’s really amazing. And thank you so much for buying MSOW! And liking it!
Um, the only things I have available at this point is the little freebie “Oscar’s Soul” and two chapters of a werewolf work-in-progress over my profile on Goodreads.com. MSOW is my first publication, but I’m under contract for a M/M/F also with Loose Id that might be out in early 2011. I’ve also submitted a short story to MLR Press and hope to hear back from them soon. Thank you so much for asking, Blue!

Thank you, Tame! I can’t wait for you to read it too
Oh this book is SOOO going to be in my hands come release day! It sounds just like the kind of story I love best – friends to lovers is probably my favourite romance theme and My Summer of Wes has that in spades!
Awesome story Missy and looking forward to getting to know you much better! Uh… I’m not really a scary person… just as Sloan or Jambrea… really I’m not.
Believe me, if I’m freaking out, it’s because of how wonderful everyone’s been. Seriously didn’t expect that. Thanks for putting MSOW on your to-buy list!
Fantastic excerpt Missy I am really looking forward to this coming out!
Thank you, Perpetua. Me too, actually!
Love this! Great excerpt.
Thank you, Jambrea!
Missy – My Summer of Wes sounds wonderful. What a great blurb. When’s the release date?
They’re only letting me say August at this point, in case it moves around. Basically, they’ve gone through the whole publishing process for this book in 3 months in order to release it during the summer. I’d say look for it in the second or third week of August. Hopefully, I’ll get approval for an excerpt here in a few days to give a little more of an incentive to put me on your to-read list
