Lisa Oliver has a new MM paranormal shifter romance out, book six in the The Gods Made Me Do It series: “Someone to Hold Me.”
Hades, Lord of the Underworld, has spent years searching the world for his Fated Mate. He’s watched his brother and nephews find their “light” and yet he can’t find his. On the verge of giving up hope, Hades attends his brother Poseidon’s wedding; so outside his comfort zone, but his discomfort proves worth it. Because there, at the reception, he finally sees his light.
It wasn’t that Ali was uncomfortable around wolves – he’d been a good friend of Claude’s for years. But when one of the wolves at Claude’s and Poseidon’s wedding gets verbally pushy, he feels he has no choice but to shift and find the alpha. What he doesn’t expect is to find a beautiful man with soulful eyes, holding out his hand.
After all Ali and Hades have been through in their lives, you’d think the Fates would be kind to them. But between Cerberus’s howling, Persephone’s snarking, and Ali’s family proving there is more to them than their blatant wealth, Ali and Hades have their hands full creating a life with each other. But maybe, just maybe, the Mother has a gift for them after all.
This is an MM paranormal true mates story intended for adults only. This book can be read as a stand-alone. Mpreg elements (Not the MCs, or the focus of the story)

Exclusive Excerpt
Hello Matt and thank you for hosting me on your blog today as part of my OWI Blog Tour. I am so excited to share with your readers an exclusive excerpt from Someone To Hold Me, which is book 6 in the Gods Made Me Do It series.
You don’t have to worry about this being part of a series, this story is a standalone, and tells about how Hades, Lord of the Underworld, finds his true mate. Hades is a fascinating character, and I loved finding out who the man was under the surprisingly little information I could find out about him. We all imagine the Underworld being a dark and dreary place, so imagine what it would do to a being who was forced to stay there ninety percent of the time. Throw in a malicious ex-wife (Persephone who loves being the Dread Queen Persephone) and a continually howling dog (Cerberus), and any mate of Hades is going to have to have balls of steel.
Or, be a cute chipmunk shifter by the name of Ali. Here’s an exclusive teaser about him, just before he met Hades.
“Hey there little bushy tail, do you think you can stretch those lips of yours wide enough to take me down your delicious throat?”
Ali looked up from his plate which was sitting on his knees. All he could see was legs and hips, and yes, while the package sitting at eye level might look tempting, the words were enough to put his back up. Lifting his eyes higher, and higher and higher, why did wolf shifters have to be so tall, he smirked, just a little. “Not interested, thank you.”
He watched as an incredulous look came over the wolf’s face. And then it was as though a light bulb went off. “Oh, you’re not from around these parts. You didn’t know what I meant.” The man slid his thumbs into his waistband framing the ever growing package and his lewd smirk got wider. “I’m offering you my dick to suck. Now, I don’t want no drooling, mind you. I don’t need no slobber stains on my new pants. But if you open up nice and wide, I’m sure I’ll slip right in.”
“You’ll slip right in – your cock in my mouth, is that what you’re saying?” Ali glanced to the side of the thighs, but Claude was on the other side of the room. He carefully put his half-finished plate on the floor and sat up straight. “I’m sitting here enjoying my meal. What made you think I wanted to suck your cock, when I had a mouth full of lamb stew?”
“You’re a hearty eater.” That look of confusion was back. “I’ve been watching you. You’re not here with anyone else.”
“That’s very observant of you. But how did my eating lamb stew lead you to think I wanted to give you a blowjob?” If the wolf had half a brain, Ali might have considered it. He’d been through a long dry spell lately and he wasn’t immune to the testosterone flowing around the party. But dumbasses turned his libido into the permanent off position.
“Well, of course you wanted to give me a blowjob. Everyone does. But hopefully you won’t be too slobbery….”
“Because you don’t want any stains on your new pants. I got that the first time.” Ali shook his head. “You don’t have to worry about me leaving any marks on your shiny pants, because I’m not going to suck you.”
Two straight lines appeared in the furrow between the wolf’s eyes. “Why not? Is there something wrong with your little brain? Look, I know you prey animals aren’t that bright, but my dick is right here, and you made me horny.”
“You… you…,” Ali huffed as he pushed back his chair, jumping to his feet and setting his fists on his hips. “How the hell did I make you horny? I was eating my dinner.”
“You’re eating, chewing, swallowing. You’ve got sexy lips. I want them around my cock. I waited until your plate was almost empty.”
“No you didn’t, you selfish git. I was only half finished. But that’s beside the point. Have I got ‘I give blowjobs after dinner’ painted on my forehead?” He tapped the spot where his third eye would be. This guy was going to give him a headache.
The man leaned down, peering at Ali’s forehead. “Did you get a tattoo or something? I can’t see it, but I know this guy….”
“I’m sure you know a lot of guys and half of them would probably be on their knees for you right now, but I’m not one of them.” Maybe this guy got dropped on his head at birth.
Thank you so much for having me here today Matt. Have a wonderful day. Oh, and for those of you who were wondering about Baby’s story, that has just come out and you can find You’ll Know in Your Heart (The Gods Made Me Do It #7) in all good e-book stories.
Standard Excerpt
Cupping his hand carefully, Claude reached around his neck. Sitting on his palm was the cutest little chipmunk Hades had ever seen. He had pale gold fur, mixed with almost white on his belly and paws, and his face had two black streaks that ran from his sharp little eyes to the edge of his pointed ears. And he was pissed off. Sitting upright on his back legs, the little fellow jabbed his wee front legs around as though he was boxing, chattering nineteen to the dozen. Hades doubted anyone could understand what was being said, but they could understand the tone and it was all directed at the hapless Bart.
“Well, would you look at that,” Sei grinned reaching out a finger as it he wanted to touch. “Ali has to be the cutest little shifter I’ve ever seen.”
“Put your finger away,” Hades muttered quietly, more to himself than anyone else. “You touch him, and I’ll strip the skin from your fingers.”
But obviously he wasn’t quiet enough. “Brother?” Sei looked shocked and then a huge smile spread across his face. “You see the light at last?” Claude and the other wolves who’d all stood around wanting to be nosy, looked between them as if not sure what was going on.
Hades only had eyes for his cute little mate, who had stopped chattering and was now twitching his nose madly in Hades direction. “I’m not the greatest catch,” he said quietly, catching the little creature’s eyes, “but I’ll spend eternity doing my best to make you happy if you’ll let me.” He slowly held out his hand and waited.
Time stood still. Hades wasn’t even sure if his heart was beating anymore. The little chipmunk dropped down on all fours, looking over his shoulder at Claude who smiled, then at Bart who growled, and then back at Hades. Twitching his tail madly, he took a flying leap, landing directly on Hades’ palm. Hades quickly moved his other hand to cradle him. He didn’t want his little mate to fall off and hurt himself. But Ali showed no signs of falling. Looking up at Hades he pointed one of his front paws at Bart and started his angry chittering again.
“I know, I know. I completely understand.” Hades said, nodding, keeping an eye on the angry shifter. “This guy has upset you and he deserves to pay. I totally agree.”
“Er, bro,” Sei cast a worried look in Claude’s direction. “The wolves get upset when us godly beings interfere in pack affairs.”
“Ali’s not pack.” Hades called on his power. A voice screamed in the back of his head that this was not the right place, that he could lose his mate if the wee guy couldn’t handle who he was, but Hades wasn’t about to shirk his duty to his precious mate on the very first day. “Do you know who I am?”
The world looked different from his new perspective. In his god form, Hades’ head almost touched the ceiling – the wolves below him not even half his size. His power cloaked the room – dark, dangerous – there was not a being in existence who didn’t immediately recognize how menacing he could be, even if they didn’t know who he was.
Only Ali appeared unaffected. The tiny chipmunk looked even smaller in his huge hand, but the guy didn’t seem worried, rubbing his cheek against Hades’ thumb which Hades found rather soothing.
“I’ll say again,” Hades’ voice bellowed around the room. “Do you know who I am and who’s mate you’ve had the audacity to upset?”
“Oh, my gods,” Bart fell to his knees, blathering. “I’ve done it now. My sexy shaft is going to be the death of me. That’s who you are, isn’t it? You’re Death and you’ve come to take me away and fuck, I’m still hard. I can’t die before I orgasm, that’s just not fair.”
“Actually,” Thanatos pushed through the crowds, his mate tucked in by his side, “I’m Death and I’m not taking you today, although your god reference was highly accurate.” He looked up at Hades and winked. “The man is a simpleton, Lord; I can see his soul. He is one of the classic examples of a man being led around by his dick, but I don’t believe he meant any permanent harm to your mate.”
Hades’ heart almost stopped when Ali leaned over his finger, chittering madly at Thanatos. Tilting his head to one side, Thanatos listened and then nodded. “You are quite right, little one, that anger of his is a grave concern. Any of the Doms here know they have to respect the laws of consent. I’m sure Claude has a suitable punishment for him, though, don’t you think? You really don’t want trash like this cluttering up the Underworld.”
Ali chittered a bit more and Thanatos laughed. Hades wished he had the power to understand all languages but only Death himself had been granted that power. “You’re probably right about that too, little one. But the Fates get upset when someone takes a life unnecessarily and this man isn’t bad, he’s just misguided. I’m sure he’s going to apologize, isn’t he?” He looked back at Bart who was watching, his mouth slack.
“Apologize,” Claude growled, stepping forward when Bart stayed silent, his fist raised. “You’ve upset two gods today and Death himself, not to mention my really good friend. Say you’re sorry, or I’ll castrate you and then we won’t have to worry about your dick leading you astray again.”
“Not my dick, not my dick.” Bart doubled over, clutching the body part in question. “I’m sorry. I’ll listen. I’ll take whatever punishment you give me, but don’t kill me, please don’t kill me.”
“It seems your presence has rendered him more useless than usual,” Sei sighed, digging Hades in the thigh with his elbow. “Why don’t you take your new mate somewhere special and get to know him. You have my word Bart won’t bother you or your mate again.”
Slowly moving his arm, Hades bought his hand up to his face. His sweet little chipmunk showed no fear – even reaching out for him with his cute front paws. “Are you ready to leave?” He asked keeping his voice as low as possible which wasn’t easy in this form. Ali’s excited bobbing of his head meant his fur brushed across Hades’ cheek sending tingles throughout his whole body. Closing his eyes, Hades enjoyed the sensation for just a moment, before translocating them to his favorite earthly home. No matter how accepting Ali was proving to be, he wasn’t about to subject his mate to the cold hardness of the Underworld until he absolutely had to.
