Most times heart breaking, sometimes frustrating, Make a Right features the story of two men who meet as teenagers in a foster home, both shaped by their young life. Together they embark on a life in love, until one mistake breaks them up.

Six months later, Tuck is still trying to find a way to get the love of his life, Cade, back. The wedding of two of their foster sisters gives Tuck a chance to get Cade to forgive him. The problem is that Cade has kept a big secret from Tuck all these years. A secret that he has felt the guilt from everyday since they day they met.

Thinking it is best to leave well enough alone and continue to go their separate ways, Cade pushing Tuck away at every turn, while at the same time sending signals to Tuck that he still loves him.

The feelings and depth in the words within this novel will keep readers on an emotional roller coaster. This is not a book for someone who is looking for a fun loving romance, but well worth the read for someone who wants to read a gripping love story. This story is told in the third person, completely from Tuck's point of view, which really works to keep the mystery of the secret going.

Description:
Stubborn, loving, and loyal, Tuck would take care of the world if the world would let him. When he loves, he loves for life. Even when he’s on the edge of a breakup with Cade he can’t give up hope for their future. Tuck knows that a painful secret from his past is haunting Cade and driving him away. He swears he’ll find out what’s wrong and make it right or die trying. When he and Cade are invited to the wedding of a pair of foster kids they once rescued, Tuck convinces Cade to go with him. They’ll pretend nothing’s wrong so they won’t spoil the wedding for the girls they think of as daughters.

Being this close to Tuck again, Cade’s resolve stumbles. He’s falling in love again--but it won’t last unless he and Tuck can reconcile their differences. Though Cade wants to tell Tuck the truth, pride keeps his lips sealed. He knows his one chance at a reconciliation is giving up his secrets. The reward would be absolute--but can Cade find the courage to take the risk and face the consequences?

Two wrongs don’t usually make a right.

But sometimes, once upon a time? They do.

I've been waiting for chance to read a new J.L. Langley book so when I heard of Shifting Sands I jumped at the chance to get a copy. The anthology combines stories from several of the top male-male romance authors available.

The stories in Shifting Sands are all related. The book starts off with a Prologue telling the general link between all the short stories and then each author takes a character and develops the romance for each. All the story are well written the the connection is done so well you don't realize that someone else is writing each piece.

The stories revolve around Shifting Sands ranch owned by Daniel. For some unexplained reason Daniel find himself married to Yi. Unbeknowst to Daniel, Yi is a witch and when Daniel doesn't meet her expectations she decides to curse the ranch and everyone on it, save Russell the young hand she takes with her when she flees from the Ranch.

The subsequent stories involve each of the members of the ranch and their new found mates. When each member of the ranch falls in love their mate also is affected by the curse. Finally Daniel's is the last story told by Jet Mykles and it isn't until that story finishes that Daniel and the ranch hands learn the truth about Yi.

Good stories with well developed plot and great male-male love scenes for those who like this style of book.

Description:
A woman's wrath is bad, but a witch's wrath is hell on earth. No one knows this better than the six men of Shifting Sands Ranch. When the owner's Chinese witch of a wife abandons him and the ranch, she takes one of the cowboys and leaves behind a curse that dooms the remaining inhabitants to a life that is anything but normal. Now, every month when the moon comes full, each man takes on the form of an animal. Witches, shifters and ancient curses, such is life on the Shifting Sands.
