QSFer Lisa Oliver has a new MM paranormal book out: Give Me a Reason.
Throughout the eons of time it was said that when it came to Fated Mates, the Fates never made a mistake. Could Helios and Bruno prove to be the exception to that rule?
Ancient Greek God of the Sun, Helios might also be the God of Sight, but even he couldn’t predict what would happen when he finally caught a glimpse of the light he’d been looking for – the one that let him know his search for his mate was over. The problem was when he chased up the source of that light, his intended one was on a date with someone else. Even when the date ended badly, Helios’s efforts to help weren’t appreciated.
Bear shifter, Bruno Carpenter, was an ex-soldier, a current police officer, and on a date from hell. When he gets mugged he is shocked to feel his body responding to a male who suddenly appeared in the alley beside him. What was worse was that the same man started talking about them being mates. Bruno decided he must have been hit on the head harder than he thought.
Unfortunately, the attack on Bruno was just part of a bigger picture – one that Helios could see thanks to his newly made Bruno App (thank you Zeus). But as Helios and Bruno spend time together, the chances of Helios having a future with the man the Fates deemed perfect for him get smaller and smaller. Is the mating of Helios and Bruno doomed to fail? Will they be the exception that proved the rule? And what does that saying even mean?
Give Me A Reason is the thirteenth book in the Gods Made Me Do It series, but it can be read as a standalone.

Excerpt
“I realize this situation is without precedent, and I can’t say one way or the other what might have happened if you’d just left well alone. Clearly Bruno wasn’t well, isn’t well, I should say. But throughout the four days I had with Bruno, all the emphasis and focus was on him – his needs, his grief, even his admittedly selfish act when he bit me. I would’ve expected… no, that’s not fair. I know I didn’t give you a way to contact me, but you didn’t even come looking for me.”
“Oh, no.” Jordan hustled his butt over and stood between Helios and his horses, his arms spread as if to save the bigger men from any godly consequence. “You can’t say that, nah, you can’t. My mate and Therbeeo were looking for you when they found Bruno – finding him was a coincidence. You can’t turn all the lights out pretending you’re not home, and then wonder why people weren’t knocking on your door.”
Helios was still deciphering Jordan.
