BLOG TOUR: Undercover Boyfriend by Jacob Flores GUEST POST





Undercover Boyfriend 
(One Fine Day Series #1)
by Jacob Z. Flores

Blurb:

Two men, one lie, and a whole bunch of trouble.

Marty Valdez is in serious trouble. His sister’s wedding is around the corner, and everyone expects to meet Marty’s super-successful underwear model boyfriend—whom Marty invented. Now Marty has to produce a half-naked hottie or suffer the worst humiliation of his life.

FBI agent Luke Myers is in serious trouble. He’s been working undercover to take down a dangerous drug cartel, but his cover’s blown and he needs to disappear. Luckily, a geeky yet intriguing comic book artist gives him the perfect opportunity. Luke just has to pretend to be his boyfriend, and pretending is what he does best. But between Marty’s mother and his ex, Luke might’ve bitten off more than he can chew, and Marty’s knack for finding trouble might ruin more than just his sister’s wedding.

Top 3 Gay Wedding Destinations in the US

Hi, everyone! I’m Jacob Z. Flores, and I’m so glad to be here at Bookworm Bridgette’s World to promote my recent release Undercover Boyfriend, the first book in my One Fine Day series.

As some of you may have heard, each book in this series will feature a marriage/wedding as the theme that ties all the books together. Each book will truly be a standalone, consisting of an entirely different set of characters, situations, and obstacles.

Scroll up a bit and read the blurb for Undercover Boyfriend, so you can get a feel for what this book in the series will be about.

Okay... read it? Back now? ....Perfect... 

So since each of the books will highlight a wedding as its common thread, I figured it might be fun to discuss weddings in general, particularly the best locations in the US for same-sex couples to tie the knot.

Now before we get started, I want everyone to know that the locales I’ve chosen are based on my personal experiences, not on any travel research I’ve conducted. These places are, to me, the ideal spots for two men or women in love to start their lives together as a married couple.

Which cities made the list and why? Well, let’s get started so we can find out.







#3—Hawaii

Who wouldn’t want to get married in this tropical paradise? Hawaii has beautiful beaches, blue, sparkling oceans, rugged volcanoes, and lush scenery that would make an excellent backdrop for any wedding. Plus, Maui and Oahu have been popular gay destinations for years. There are tons to do from clubbing to bars to snorkeling. It’s a wedding/honeymoon destination rolled into one. Most importantly, though, there are so many private and remote parts of the island that a loving couple could start their honeymoon just about anywhere.


#2—Provincetown, Massachusetts

Provincetown is perhaps one of the best places in the world. During the summer, the town fills up with gay men and women, who flock to the tip of the Cape to enjoy the quaint destination. It’s also probably one of the friendliest gay locales I’ve ever visited. There’s tons to do like strolling Commercial Street and visiting the many shops, going on a whale tour, stopping for drinks at the daily Tea Dance, eating at the many wonderful restaurants, or taking in one of the many shows. The town also has a rich history that’s fun to explore.

All of those reasons make Provincetown one of the best places for a gay wedding. It also happens to be where I met the man I fell in love with, so yeah, it’s like the best place ever!



#1—San Diego

So how did a southern California city beat out Hawaii, a tropical paradise, and Provincetown, the gayest place on Earth? Well, first of all, San Diego is a beautiful city. The gorgeous Balboa Park would be a perfect backdrop for a wedding. For those who enjoy beachfront weddings, there’s Seaport Village and the historic Hotel Del Coronado. San Diego also has a wonderful gay neighborhood in Hillcrest, all of which make San Diego a great place for a gay wedding.

There’s also one more reason that makes San Diego a great place to get married. The man I love just happens to live there!

I hope you’ve enjoyed my top 3 best gay wedding destinations list. Sure, the list might have been a tad biased (and maybe some not so subtle hints for my boyfriend), but if you’ve never been to any of these places, grab your loved one and hop on a plane. You’ll see how right I am.




Excerpt




“My God. Were you always this much of a fucking asshole?”

“Whoa!” Christian threw up his hands as if he had no clue he was being a fuckwad. “Why the name-calling? I just called you cute.”

“He is cute. Isn’t he?”

Tim suddenly appeared at Marty’s side. He slid his hand around Marty’s waist and pulled him close. “I know I thought so from the first moment I laid eyes on him over the punch bowl.”

Marty opened his mouth to speak, but surprise had stolen his voice. Did Tim really think he was cute? No, that couldn’t be true. It was part of the act. It had to be.

Christian’s nostrils flared. “So, Jim. How long are you in San Antonio for?”

“It’s Tim,” Tim replied with one arched eyebrow. He pulled Marty closer and locked gazes with Christian. Why did Marty suddenly feel as if this was going to turn into a pissing match? “And I’ll be here until after the wedding.”

Christian nodded as if he expected that answer. “Well, I’m glad you could finally make it. I was starting to wonder if you even existed.” He dragged his gaze from Tim to Marty, and a knowing grin suddenly materialized. Did Christian suspect this was a ruse?

“Oh, I’m real,” Tim replied. “Just busy.”

“Ah yes.” Christian nodded. “I’m sure prancing around in your underwear is a tough gig. I know it wears me out whenever I come home from the courthouse and walk around half-naked in my Calvin Kleins.”

“Calvin Klein makes a good pair of underwear,” Tim said. “But they’re not for me.”

“Too stylish?” Christian asked, brushing a stray piece of lint from his sleeve.

Tim shook his head. “Too small for my junk.”

Marty snorted while Christian bared his teeth.

“Come on, babe,” Tim said, looking down at Marty with wide, adoring eyes. “Let’s find a place to sit. It’s almost time to eat.”

Marty nodded. He didn’t dare try to speak. If he did, he’d bust out in laughter.






About The Author



Jacob Z. Flores lives a double life. During the day, he is a respected college English professor and mid-level administrator. At night and during his summer vacation, he loosens the tie and tosses aside the trendy sports coat to write man on man fiction, where the hard ass assessor of freshmen level composition turns his attention to the firm posteriors and other rigid appendages of the characters in his fictional world.

 Summers in Provincetown, Massachusetts, provide Jacob with inspiration for his fiction. The abundance of barely clothed man flesh and daily debauchery stimulates his personal muse. 
 When he isn’t stroking the keyboard, Jacob spends time with his daughter. They both represent a bright blue blip in an otherwise predominantly red swath in south Texas.
