“Matty and Rob prove their love and devotion to each other in so many way in this sequel. I don’t think any fans of Training Season will be disappointed in their continued journey. What a treat to get so much more from them. Leta Blake is a story goddess!”

“I loved this book. Couldn’t put it down and if I didn’t have to work I would have finished in one sitting.”
via Goodreads | Sharon Blanton’s review of Training Complex.
Depuis que je suis gosse, je suis fascinée par la mémoire. Ce qu’elle est, ce que nous sommes avec ou sans elle. Quelle part de nous est acquise et donc enregistrée dans notre mémoire et quelle part est innée et donc dans notre chair. Que reste-t-il de nous si l’on perd la mémoire, que ça soit à cause d’un choc ou d’une maladie ?
Donc évidement, quand j’ai lu le résumé du Retour de Leith, je me suis précipitée et j’ai eu raison \o/

Twice Cut
Part of writing is cutting the parts of the book that you may like but don’t serve the plot or pace of the story. As a book, Training Complex, the sequel to 2013’s Training Season, contains a lot of sex, but at one time it contained even more. In fact, four sex scenes were cut from the final book and I will be sharing them on various blogs over the next couple of months.
This scene was actually written for Training Season back in 2013 but was cut from that book for various reasons. I loved it so much, though, that I tried to work it into Training Complex. I made editorial changes to the setting and the situation, but, for the most part, it’s the same scene. I probably spent six hours reworking this, though, and so it hurt a little when once again it ended up on the cutting room floor.
But I present it to you now in hopes that you may enjoy it just a little and get a taste of some of what might be offered in Training Complex itself.

“AMAZING! Really well done. Great characters. Men that feel like real men. Great plot drive. Hot sex scenes and the naughty talk in those — impressive indeed. A new favorite of mine.”

“Be still my heart. More Matty and Rob!!! I loved every second of this book. Even when I wanted to punch Matty in the face. o_O
Thank you Leta Blake for yet another amazing read!!!”
via Goodreads | Amanda Barnes’s review of Training Complex.
These two love like no others. Leta brings that all consuming, old fashioned, From Here to Eternity feel to the love they have. Of course on a hotness scale it just explodes. SO HOT!
They have a BDSM relationship and I want to buy Leta a huge ass drink for getting it right. You want to know how BDSM works? THIS, HERE. She knows what she’s talking about. She addresses SO many issues in this book, disordered eating, depression, anxiety. And it’s breathtaking.
Training Complex is the perfect balance of angst, happiness, love, loss, and fear. Leta brings them together in a way that you are left truly content. Bravo, Leta. Another 5 star story!

“A must read for anyone who enjoyed “Training Season”. Leta took us on an emotional journey that was at times heart breaking. In my opinion, doing a wonderful job of dealing with some pretty heavy issues.
Rob and Matty are one of my favorite book couples. These men aren’t perfect. They both make mistakes. My heart broke for them both throughout parts of this book. I love Matty very much but at times I just wanted to knock some sense into him. But their love for each other is undeniable and absolutely breathtaking!
It was wonderful to see Matty getting healthy and both of them getting happy, both individually and as a couple. The battle is always worth it in the end!
Their ending couldn’t of been more perfect! I honestly can’t remember feeling this happy and content after reading a book. It was just PERFECT!
I am a huge fan of Leta Blake. If you haven’t read any of her books, you really should give her a try!”

“I was so excited to read more Matty and Rob, and this book did not disappoint. I was up half the night finishing it! It was great getting Rob’s POV (along with Matty’s), and seeing Rob have his own struggles while he tries to always be so strong for Matty, who is such a memorable and unique character. Even when they have problems, I always know things will be okay in the end because they love each other so much. I really hope there will be a third book as they continue their life together!”

“I just love a book that grabs you from the start, and the way this book starts, holy crap, you can’t help but know it is gonna be a hell of a ride! My first impression of Steven was that he was more than the club scene, and more than his best friend Adrian made him out to be. It is an author with real talent that can make you know that about a man in just a few chapters!
You will love this book friends, it is a story of one man’s determination to be more and better to prove to the man he is enthralled with that he is worth it! Thanks Ajax, for giving us a book that proves we can be who we want with a little effort and love!”

“Matty and Rob are back! Matty and Rob are back!!” I literally said that out loud when I heard there was a sequel in the works favorite book of 2014, Training Season. I just could not love these characters any more than I already do. Even more now that I’ve read the sequel Training Complex.
If you liked the first book, you owe it to yourself to read this sequel to see how the boys make it to their HEA. If you loved the first book, you’re probably already reading/read it. I HIGHLY recommend this one and am deliriously happy!”

Almost a year ago, Matty Marcus showed up in my head again looking pretty and saying, “Hey, I have a really fun idea for a novella! Wanna write it for me? It’ll be easy, fast, hilarious and you’ll have no regrets! I promise!”
Matty Marcus? He’s a little bit of a liar, guys.
The book turned out to be pretty intense and it required a lot of work. Not to mention it’s 121,000 words long! Far from a novella! More like a longish novel! But the good news is that I persevered and I’m pleased to report that Matty Marcus got his book! Yep! It’s officially released into the world!
It’s a little big thing called TRAINING COMPLEX and you can buy it now!
Coming soon to iTunes and other outlets.
“Leta Blake’s writing sort of leaves me speechless. Her story crafting is phenomenal, and I adore her characters. The emotions evoked are raw and real, and if you’re thinking of forging into the world of m/m romance, or are already a fan, I’d highly suggest giving this one or Smoky Mountain Dreams a read.”

“I don’t normally get emotional with books, but I almost felt drowned after this book. I have a bit of a hangover from it. Great characters…Leith and Zach are beautiful people, and theirs is a great story. It was not your typical amnesia story. I think it even could’ve been drawn out a bit more, actually, but wonderfully written and I highly recommend!”

The story of figure skater Matty Marcus and rancher Rob Lovely has been a fan favorite for several years now.
First love, new love.
On Valentine’s Day, Martin prepares to tell Henry he loves him. It’s not appropriate for a slave to burden a master with his feelings, but Martin doesn’t think Henry will mind. He won’t let himself hope for Henry to return the sentiment, but the truth is that he feels loved. He knows how that feels because he was loved before—by his friend Richard at Ganymede.
Martin treasures his memories of Richard, but he’s glad to be with Henry here and now. There’s a vital chemistry that draws Martin to Henry, and it’s unlike anything he’s experienced before. There’s more between them than Martin thought possible between master and slave, and he wants to believe it will endure, but he worries Henry will someday fall for a free man. Can Martin trust in Henry’s love?
This story is told from Martin’s point of view and runs parallel to events that take place in Chapter 12 of A Willful Romantic (Ganymede Quartet Book 3).

Another fundraiser is aiming to raise $100,000 for Indiana Youth Group. Finally, Planting Peace is trying to raise $100,000 to provide beds for homeless LGBT people.
