Running Hot by Stephani Hecht is 1st in her EMS Heat series of hospital-set m/m medical professional erotic romances, and All Romance eBooks' Earth Day countdown selection for April 6th, in conjunction with publisher eXstasy Books.
ARE and eXstasy both give it 4 flames on their respective heat indexes. Mind you, the eXstasy flame chart goes to 6 (but alas, not to 11, although I'm sure there's plenty of
big bottoms and love-pump licking appearing well below that level). Also, ARE has a slight disagreement with eXstasy and claims this is #2 in the series. Perhaps it's just misnumbered, perhaps there was a prequel written at some point.
In any case, free without DRM in the format of your choice (for multiple formats, do multiple checkouts, and you can gift the extras to your friends as ARE encourages in their ad banner) @
All Romance eBooks until just before midnight US Central time on April 7th. If you missed it earlier, the previous day's 5-flame f/m mate-claiming alien abduction erotic romance will still be free for a limited time:
Alien Mate
Author Hecht has two additional freebies for you available via ARE:
Hey, There's Fur in My Wedding Cake is a 4-flame shapeshifter erotic romance short, also out from eXstasy Books, and Hecht presumably has some sort of holiday-themed story collected in this multi-author freebie anthology published by Rachel Haimowitz:
Stuff My Stocking: M/M Romance Stories that are Nice . . . and Naughty
If it turns out you are interested in getting further volumes in the EMS Heat series, then if you would like to direct-buy from publisher eXstasy, they have a signup deal in their webstore which gives you $5 off a $20+ purchase upon registering and they give 10% cashback rewards on all orders, according to the banner splashed at the top of their website. They also have a small selection of
free reads, and you can browse
Hecht's author page here.
Both eXstasy and Hecht are also available and couponable
via Fictionwise. She seems to write mainly medical/sports career-oriented contemporary and shapeshifter/vampire/angel paranormal erotic romances which are mostly m/m, with an occasional f/m among them.
Description
A thrill of excitement always went through paramedic James Willson whenever he transported a patient to St. Michael’s hospital, but it had nothing to do with the rush of the job. It was one of the emergency department doctors that set his heart racing—the very sexy, very aloof Calvin Dane.
For months now, James has admired Calvin from afar, but has never dared act on his feelings since the doctor didn’t seem to return his interest. Then one intimate encounter in the back of his ambulance forever changes things between the two men.
But does the doctor truly care for James or is he just looking for a brief hookup? And can James’s heart survive the hurt if Calvin forever turns his back on what could have been?
