When my straight roommate starts obsessing over a sexual fantasy, I never expected to become the solution.Casey Walmsley just wanted a quiet life—cheap rent, a halfway-clean flat, and maybe the occasional glance at his impossibly hot, totally straight, rugby-playing roommate. No drama, no romance, and absolutely no taste-testing anyone’s bodily fluids.Jared Sutherland had other ideas. After catching his girlfriend giving his best mate the kind of… ahem… appreciation she’d always sworn was ‘absolutely disgusting’ and refused to do for him, Jared’s ego is shattered and his obsession is born: someone, anyone, has to swallow for him, just once, or he’ll never feel like a real man again.Now Casey is stuck being his flatmate’s sex therapist and reluctant experiment partner. What starts as a desperate attempt to shut Jared up (and down) quickly spirals out of control—leading to breakfast “protein shots,” and more tangled situations than a wonky rugby scrum.Will Casey survive being Jared’s personal taste-tester with his dignity (and heart) intact? Or will this whole messy experiment turn into a mouthful neither of them can swallow?Warning: Taste Test contains bad language, bad decisions, and a lot of salty Kiwi humour. Not for readers who blush easily.

A LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER In the face of systemic racism and state-sanctioned violence, how can we metabolize our anger into a force for liberation?White supremacy in the United States has long necessitated that Black rage be suppressed, repressed, or denied, often as a means of survival, a literal matter of life and death. In Love and Rage, Lama Rod Owens, coauthor of Radical Dharma, shows how this unmetabolized anger–and the grief, hurt, and transhistorical trauma beneath it–needs to be explored, respected, and fully embodied to heal from heartbreak and walk the path of liberation. This is not a book about bypassing anger to focus on happiness, or a road map for using spirituality to transform the nature of rage into something else. Instead, it is one that offers a potent vision of anger that acknowledges and honors its power as a vehicle for radical social change and enduring spiritual transformation.Love and Rage weaves the inimitable wisdom and lived experience of Lama Rod Owens with Buddhist philosophy, practical meditation exercises, mindfulness, tantra, pranayama, ancestor practices, energy work, and classical yoga. The result is a book that serves as both a balm and a blueprint for those seeking justice who can feel overwhelmed with anger–and yet who refuse to relent. It is a necessary text for these times.
