When the powers-that-be make the decision to return a selfish party-girl, Zara, to Earth on three missions of redemption, can romance and mayhem be far behind? One hot and trendy gay nightclub, two bickering angels and three unlikely pairs add up to steamy nights between the sheets and emotional days of healing and revelation outside of them when the ultimate architect throws His hat in the ring to fix up three wounded souls with their mates


Zack and the Dark Shaft:   Ingenue's Choice:  Bouncer's Folly

 

  

Zack and the Dark Shaft  

 

As different as night and day, the only thing twins Zara and Zack Benjamin have in common are their genes and their love for Quincy Powers. Zara’s death in an unfortunate accident gives her brother a chance with Quincy. Except Zara hasn’t quit on the man she loves just yet.

 

Spoiled, aimless party-girl Zara Benjamin has never had to work a day in her life. At twenty-eight she’s just discovered something she wants as much as her best friend since college, the unattainable Quincy Powers. But when an elevator door opens minus the car, all these hopes and dreams are forever dashed…or are they?

 

Successful financial whiz Quincy Powers made his fortune on Wall Street before his thirtieth birthday and left the rat race behind before the stress of trading could claim his sanity. Instead of the game keeping him awake, however, he now has the horrible sound of his best friend’s screams to haunt his nights.

 

When he discovers Zara’s nightclub business plan after the accident, he realizes too late he might have given his friend a raw deal in denying her requests and spends the ensuing ten months after her death bringing her dream to fruition.

Until two angels intervene and send Zara on a mission in the body of her twin brother, Zack Benjamin...

  

Ingenue's Choice

Rendered almost incapable of painting after the death of a lover in a tragic accident, Keir Monroe is inspired after meeting natural-born submissive, Patryk Andrews. Keir soon realizes, however, that he’s caught a tiger by the tail and not the obedient submissive he thought when Patryk suggests becoming his agent.

 

An admirer of fine art but without artistic ability himself, Patryk Andrews works by day in a high finance position that his well-to-do father had more than a little hand in getting him. Gay and liberal, Patryk knows he’s a big disappointment to his parents, but thrives in a job that leaves him more spiritually and emotionally empty than his last abusive and dysfunctional relationship.

 

A gifted painter from an affectionate, supportive clan of parents and three younger brothers whom he predictably ruled, Keir Monroe is an artist who has lost his way after the death of his lover three years previous. A chance encounter with Patryk sparks Keir’s creative spirit, however, and more than a little lust.

 

But what starts off as a whirlwind physical obsession, soon turns into more than either Keir or Patryk ever bargained for when both are faced with demons from their pasts and present.

 

Bouncer's Folly

 

Before her death in a tragic accident, Zara Benjamin was the epitome of spoiled rich bad-girl with no direction or purpose in life. When she's brought back to Earth in the body of rich directionless bad-boy Trevor Carmichael, she thinks it's just destiny screwing with her life again.

Slacker Trevor Carmichael is charming and smart enough to go far and accomplish much but is too busy proving his parents right by partying hard and freeloading off his forbearing twin, Travis. Fate soon intervenes, however, to stop Trevor's self-destructive spiral and give Zara one more chance to get things right.

Personal trainer and part-time bouncer Ramsey Logan has been the reliable go-to guy all his life and doesn't have the time or inclination to entertain people who aren't equally so. But there's something about the reckless and sexy Trevor that has Ramsey looking passed the impulsive façade to the wounded soul beneath. 

Professional Reviews
4.5
“In Zara’s Bois, Gracie C. McKeever undauntedly tackles the issue of closeted homosexuality, compelling the reader in vicarious fashion to experience the ultimate freedom and liberation embraced by her eclectic assortment of characters. With Zara serving as a not-so-innocent bystander, each of the men are brought face-to-face with their deepest fears, as well as the enduring pain that keeps them shut off to the world at large. Parallel to her own stint in spiritual limbo, the depths of their emotional limbo are finally exposed, and they are presented with once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to break the chains of their literal and figurative oppression once and for all.

As has become her trademark standard, McKeever presents each character in holistic, three-dimensional fashion – not as stereotypical caricatures – allowing the reader to confront his or her own personal prejudices regarding the often miscast world of homosexuality. By presenting the men in the universal light of humanity, McKeever does ultimate justice to them and their ongoing struggles, which are no different than anyone else’s – regardless of sexual orientation. Furthermore, her emphasis on the redeeming power of love is a reassuring, comforting theme sure to touch the hearts of readers from every ethnicity, nationality, and background imaginable.


Kudos to McKeever for taking a strong stand and delivering a powerful, much needed message on the healing power of redemption.” 4.5 Stars, Josee for Apex Reviews

Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson

Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.
