Appearing Nightly
- Book 1: The First Real Thing
- Book 3: A Fool for You
Book 2 in the "Icon Men" series:
You can call me Mike—or Diva Michelle on the weekends when I perform at the Icon, a bar I own with my good friend Cameron (Cameron told his story in The First Real Thing). But just because I strut onstage in an evening gown and high heels doesn't make me a sissy. I've still got a man's body, feelings and desires. I'm also a man who knows what he wants—and that would be Ryan.
One look at our new employee with his hot physique and boy-next-door face and I was lost—falling hard and fast. It broke my heart each time he rejected me…Until the night he finally fell into my arms, desperate for the comfort only I could provide.
Each night our passion burns up the sheets, but Ryan's holding something back. He's been hurt in the past, leaving him scarred both inside and out. He won't let me reach that secret part of him. I'd be willing to give him anything, but if he can't trust me with the pain of his past, is there hope for a future?

"This is a pretty complex story with many layers and characters whose lives depended on each other. ... Above all I loved Mike, or Diva Michelle, who I thought was an outstanding protagonist and the heart of the book. Even though Mike dressed up as a woman on Friday nights for his performances he was definitely all man, and anyone who forgot that paid the price.
Appearing Nightly is a very enjoyable book, high on angst but really funny, with great characters.
Highly recommended: 4.5 stars out of 5" -- Reviews by Jessewave
"Not only do the characters in Appearing Nightly pull at the heartstrings, they are humanly-flawed and written in a way that makes it easy to become enthralled by the story that they tell. [...] I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from Ms. Grant. Appearing Nightly has earned a spot on my keeper shelf and I’m looking forward to revisiting it and these wonderful characters again in the future.
Score: 4.50 / 5 - Reviewer Top Pick!"

"The tension between Mike and Ryan, Mike and Cameron and even Cameron and Mike, will have you racing through the pages to find out what happens next. In between laughing out loud and flipping back to make sure that I read a certain paragraph correctly, I found my mouth dropping open as each secret was slowly revealed.
Oh and did I say that the sex between Mike and Ryan is crazy hot? It is, trust me on this.
I simply loved it and I definitely recommend this story as a must read.
5 Tea Cups and a Recommended Read!"

"I liked the pace of this book, it had the making of insta-love production but it wasn’t as I thought there was a pretty decent build up and gaining of confidences before any of the relationship sort of stuff got in the way.
...
I have always liked Ms Grant style of incorporating more of the everyday struggles into her books and it was no different in this one. From Ryan’s fall from grace from his lucrative hotel job to showing his decline into the hell that he now finds himself in – I do know and see how that could easily happen and it was all realistically describe and also showed a whole lot more to Ryan’s character." -- E.H. at erotic horizon
