Multi-published author J.D. Walker brings you four gay erotic romances that will warm your heart, from the quirky story which pits a country music fan against a "metal boy" to the bittersweet tale of a rigid CFO who always says the wrong thing to the man he loves. Housemates, secrets, a sunny attitude, and an executive who needs to let loose all connect to bring each other out of the Heavy Metal Blues. Contains the stories: Heavy Metal Cowboy Blues: Lester "Les" McCoy loves his country music. He's also in lust with Damien Ridley -- the 'metal boy' who lives downstairs -- despite his very loud music tastes which drive Les crazy! He's an old prairie bachelor, and thinks Damien is too young for him. But, a gay-bashing and some friendly advice lead Les to use Patsy Cline and canary yellow underpants to get the stud he's always wanted. Heavy Metal Bicycle Blues: Kenny Culpepper is a spin instructor, but he used to do more with his life. He’s still recovering from the homophobic attack by his former roommate, Biff Tremonte, and when he receives a letter from Biff’s brother, Kenny’s not sure what to do. But the two men meet, and Cypher Tremonte confesses that he was also a victim of Biff’s rage. What they find together is unexpected, and could become love. Heavy Metal Sunshine Blues: Sonny Bonhomie is happy to sleep with Noah Stiles, a sexy guy he meets at a club. But then he finds out that Noah has a boyfriend, and confronts him about it. Worse, Noah tells Sonny the real reason he slept with him in the first place. Heartbroken, Sonny goes to a new LGBT bookstore and runs into Bruce, a bartender he knows. They hit it off, and Sonny’s sunshine blues might just be over. Heavy Metal Heartfelt Blues: Bridges Barfield is a stern, rigid man who’s hard to please. But then he meets Trenton LeDoux, he of the magenta hair, lip ring, and free spirit, and they hit it off. Trenton seems to be stuck in the past with his dead husband, however. Bridges tries to help, but suffers from saying-the-wrong-thing disease. It takes many missteps before these men finally have a union that’s truly heartfelt.

Heavy Metal Blues Box Set

I stood. “I enjoyed our time together, Trenton. It was the best date I’ve had in a long time, and I mean that. If you ever want to talk, call me or send an email.” I dug out my wallet and laid a business card on the table. “It’s the least I can do for laying all my troubles on you during dinner.” I leaned over and kissed his cheek. “I’ll see myself out.” I turned and headed outside, texting a cab company with the address since I’d taken note of the street and house number when we’d arrived.


As the cab pulled away some minutes later, I looked back toward the house to see Trenton standing at a window, the light behind him highlighting the sadness that seemed to shroud his body.


“He sounds very ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’,” Sonny opined on Monday afternoon as we ate lunch together in the café of the building where we both worked.


I glared at him. “You don’t know him.”
