Review: Drayton is looking for a high paying job so he can fix his old space ship, traveling to Falla to try out for an unspecified job looks promising. He is slightly surprised about what the job entails but really needs the money, so he strips off hoping to be chosen for the harem of the Falla King. He has to compete with four other species to see who will be chosen to help produce an heir, but the attraction felt between all the men might make it difficult to follow the rules.

Okay that was, wow, just let me catch my breath, damn that story was hot. Drayton needs money fast so he answers an ad, he ends up on Falla competing to be the one chosen, but getting to know the other members of the harem has him being less interested in winning the kings eye and more interested in one of his fellow competitors. This is a really hot story with multiple interesting characters, Drayton, Ranix (King), Lavender, Layden, Dusk and Ashthor, each male is unique and sexy and they all certainly burn up all the pages.

This is a perfect book if you are looking for sci-fi flavored erotica, steamy sex scenes, and a hard-on on nearly every page. Drayton finds much more than he was looking for and I have to say he is a very lucky man, this is definitely the book to read if you want to overdose on hot sex.  tumblr_mnxl2v8XO01sn288eo1_500

Review:  I’ve had a nice experience with one of Elisabeth Lister’s books and while that sounds kinky it’s nothing compared to the sexual tension and chemistry this author can create.

That said, I will get into this review with a warning – this is not a ménage, but rather a triangle which eventually ends with just two men together. It is mentioned in the blurb, but if you’re just skimming it like I did, and reading what you want to see you will miss it. So it happened that my whole experience of the book was clouded with my expectations and I analyzed the relationships according to them.

The whole story is told from Tate’s point of view and I read about his enthusiasm about finally having another session with this famous Dom. As the day approached his happiness was almost contagious, but then he found out that the session would involve another man, Sebastian. Tate wanted to meet Sebastian before actually getting naked with him and the sparks flying there were otherworldly. After their weekend with James, the Dom, they decide to explore their relationship a bit more despite having another scheduled session with James.

At first I was disappointed at first by the difference in the chemistry between Tate and James as opposed to the emotions between Tate and Sebastian. They were all supposed to be interested in each other, weren’t they? Instead James was all clipped and scene centered while Sebastian truly enjoyed every moment he and Tate had together. But then as I read on I realized it was actually a strong point of this story because it showed the difference between just a sexual meet, what the three of them experienced that first weekend and something deeper which was the case later on between Tate and Sebastian. Boy was I wrong.

The clipped and almost mechanical scenes continued throughout the story and for some reason I just couldn’t see Tate and Sebastian working out together long-term. When it comes to the professionalism of the sessions, I was pretty satisfied, but the negotiations were glazed over and that dimmed the experience for me some more.

By the end I was really struggling with the rating because the dynamics between the three was so wrong and didn’t work for me at all, but at the end, when I finally realized the book would end with just two men, I hated Tate’s final choice. Both Sebastian and James had their good points as well as bad, but I guess I’m more into the personality of the ‘loser’ in this story and that sealed the deal.

Since I’ve liked this author’s work before, I was surprised at the completely different flow of the story. It wasn’t really my thing even when I wanted to be amazed by it, so for the rest of you – pay attention to the blurb and jump in with your eyes open, tastes are different, and ours might be worlds apart.

 

The Healing Hands of E'Lan by Leigh Jarrett

Heat Level:  Explicit

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥2½Hearts

Blurb: The sound of wolves howling in the distance only served to raise the already alarming rate of Zarum’s heart. He’d been waiting for longer than usual, and there was no sign of anyone approaching through the underbrush. If he hadn’t been held back for the past few nights to discuss clan politics with his father, the chief of clan Sil’na, he wouldn’t be scurrying around in the thick dark of a moonless night either; it was too dangerous to be out here alone. Zarum’s gut twisted with need, reminding him of why he was there in the dark, risking his life. It would only take one, and he needed more than a hand to satisfy him tonight.

Review:  E’Lan is a healer for her people’s tribe. She’s held above most in her tribe and choosing her mate falls to more than just her.  There is supposed to be a sign and her elders must approve. So she waits patiently while the others in the tribe are mated. She’s free to bed whom she wants but only a small few know her secret. E’Lan is a man. Once a year a mating ceremony takes place and this E’Lan sees the one. He knows right away and sets to seducing him. Problem is Zarum has a secret also. He prefers men.  Zarem sees E’Lan as the rest of the people would, as a woman, so he fights the attraction he doesn’t understand since he’s never wanted a woman before.

I enjoyed E’Lan’s bold character.  His true self must stay hidden but he’s sexually aggressive when he sees something he wants or when opportunity presents itself. He’s good at what he does and is willing to spend his life alone to do his duty of being a healer.

Zarem’s character never really became real to me. He spent most of the page time in a sexual act or being confused. He admitted to liking and being able to be turned on by E’Lan, while all the while denying any possibility of a relationship with E’Lan. He even tells his dad he won’t mate with her even though it is a true honor to be a healer’s partner.

This story had some possibility but it was just too short and ended so abruptly.  Zarem’s character never coming to life made this just an okay read.  I don’t mind insta love stories, but this was instant insta-love.
