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.

After fifteen minutes passed, I thought it was time for me to say something. Not wanting to strike out with Trenton for a third time, I gave my next words a lot of thought.


“Whether or not it was your fault or his, or if it was not meant to be, who knows? I could, and have, given you my opinion on the matter, but it wouldn’t make a difference, would it? He’s gone, and you’re here. All that’s left is to move on and perhaps allow yourself to do so.”


He shrugged. “It’s not that easy. The house I live in was his. Everything about it reflected his tastes, not mine.”


“I’m not much of a fixer-upper kind of guy. That was Kelly’s thing. He was the one who liked living out in the boonies. I wanted a condo closer to our business in town. I just want things to be different now. I feel so…trapped.”


I placed my empty cup on the table. “Can you move into an apartment? Maybe get someone to help you fix up the house so you can sell it?”
