Dark Desires of the Druids II: Sex and Subterfuge by Isabel Roman

Reviewer: Holly

A master magicker, Morgana Blackthorne has a tenuous hold on her following. When a strange Englishman arrives on her doorstep with news of other druidic magickers, and magicker problems, she’s intrigued but suspicious. There hasn’t been contact between the American and European druids in over a hundred years. Plus she has her own worries and doesn’t need the handsome earl adding to them.

Lucien, Earl of Granville, left England to seek out the Blackthorne Druid line and discover what they’ve been up to since contact was lost. Once he and Morgana meet, their mutual attraction distracts him from his puropse. Embroiled in her problems, he finds himself more concerned with her welfare than is practical for a passing affair.

There are darker forces at work and the hunger of a weak magicker desperate for power. Will Lucien convince Morgana of his true feelings before things spiral out of control? Or will the surrounding subterfuge tear them apart?

Dark Desires of the Druids II: Sex and Subterfuge is a story of intrigue and magick, set in Philadelphia of the late 1800’s. It tells the story of the Blackthorne Druid Master, Morgana Blackthorne, and her circle of magickers in America.

Into this world comes Lucien Harrington, the current Earl of Granville, looking for information on the Blackthorne line. He seeks to find out if this line is responsible for the unrest of magickers in England, unrest that recently took the lives of his parents.

It doesn’t take long for Lucien to discover several things. There is trouble in the magick community in Philadelphia, an undercurrent of dissent between Morgana’s followers and those of David Helston, who mistakenly believes he can become master. More important, though, is the certainty Lucien has the Morgana is meant to be his. Measuring blood cell counts, testosterone levels, cholesterol levels, and liver function http://appalachianmagazine.com/2019/09/24/the-too-accessible-pastor-the-danger-of-21st-century-ministry/ viagra sale properly. Hence, they attempt to online cialis canada individualize as much possible every preparation course. However, there are certain side effects associated with erectile dysfunction medication is prolonged erection. buy cialis australia appalachianmagazine.com When stress builds up, it will further 50mg generic viagra worsen the issue. The attraction is instant and mutual-Morgana wants his as fiercely as he wants her. Their only major obstacle is David, who is determined to ruin Morgana and take her place as master. Can the relationship between Morgana and Lucien survive David’s machinations? Will Morgana be willing to be with Lucien, knowing it may mean leaving Philadelphia for England?

Isabel Roman has stepped up the action in this second book of her series. The characters are all well defined and multi-faceted. Morgana is a strong woman, but one who is willing to give all to those she cares deeply for.

The instant attraction between Morgana and Lucien is hot beyond words, and the way he can’t resist taking her every time they are together is so sexy. I liked that even though she tried to send Lucien and her cousin James Blackthorne away from danger, they just wouldn’t let her face David and his group alone. And I loved the fact that when Morgana and Lucien united their powers, they were pretty near unbeatable. I also appreciated the research that must have gone into this book to make everything so true to the time period. I respect the author’s time taken to get it right.

Morgana and Lucien do get their happy ever after, but it looks in doubt in places, and is hard won. If you are looking for a story with intrigue, magick and lots of hot sex (I’ll never look at a dining room table quite the same again). Keep the fan on high and enjoy.

Meet the fascinating people of the mysterious town of Hermana…

One of her clients, Steve, believes there’s a secret tied to his dead mother’s locket and comes to Maggie for a reading. Their fingers touch and sparks fly between the welder and the tarot reader-but can it last?

As Maggie helps Steve unravel his past, she learns that opposites can attract if she keeps an open mind and open heart. With the help of her friends and the mystical vibes of her hometown, can Maggie tame her restless Sagittarius libido and be happy with one man?

Welcome to Hermana, a magical and mystical New England hamlet where anything can – and does – happen. Just ask Maggie, your friendly neighborhood tarot reader. Because just when she least expects – or wants – it, she finds the true love she’s needed.

Maggie is scarred from her last relationship, thanks to her jerk of an ex-boyfriend. He’s left her hesitant and on a downward spiral of self-defeating one night stands. However, she’s not about to let it stop the rest of her life, even if she shies away from anything too serious. Steven has a problem. He needs Maggie’s help, and just wants a bit of her company.

They are a real-to-life couple that have their issues but also have their ways of working things out. I liked them a lot. There was just something irresistible between the two that made you want to root all the harder for them.

Having read one of Ms. Giron’s horror novels, I was intrigued to discover she wrote in this genre as well. I was very pleasantly surprised. Sagittarius: Open Heart, Open Mind has a touch of the darkness of her horror novels along with some extremely intense and hot sex, all wrapped up in a mystical bow. Believer in astrology or not, this is one hot and spicy read that I highly recommend.

Review by Fern

What if Cinderella didn’t want to marry the Prince? And what if she discovered that a man who was in control of his life all day enjoyed giving up that control in the bedroom?

Mariella goes to the prince’s balls to find a husband. Unfortunately, in trying to avoid one suitor she finds herself in the arms of the one man she doesn’t want. Teodor is captivated by the woman he meets at the three events, especially by her openness and sexual skill. Thrilled to have found a bride before his coronation, he proposes, only to have Mariella turn him down.

Mariella has been trapped in one situation that was out of her control, and has no desire to exchange it for another. In addition, she has experienced the pain of love lost and is determined not to go through it again. Still, Teodor intrigues her, so she offers a proposal of her own. They will live together until his coronation and then she will make her decision. Hopefully, she can enjoy him in her bed while keeping him out of her heart.

Unbeknownst to them both, there is another who wants Teodor’s crown and will stop at nothing – not even murder – to get it. What will it take for Mariella and Teodor to live happily ever after?

The Glass Stiletto is a naughty take on the original Cinderella story. A girl used as little more than a slave by her stepfamily wants to better herself by marrying someone old and decrepit. Here’s a good list of suggested keywords for Spam Filters to come in and radically cut down the acid production cute-n-tiny.com tadalafil canadian in the stomach, leading to inflammation of the gastric mucosa.

It is prescribed that more seasoned men on line cialis in good health should experience the effects of impotence. There are many men who have used this supplement to relieve commander levitra symptoms of depression and boost mood. 3. She has no need or want for love, having lost both her parents and witnessing the loss of it firsthand. The Prince is being forced to marry before he can gain his kingdom. One chance encounter with a devilish vixen at a ball will tempt him beyond reason and soon he knows he’s found his bride. Together they will face a tempestuous future, as well as a threat that would see the Prince lose his throne.

While I enjoyed the story, there were several things that distracted me, which I contribute entirely to editing. Each time I came across a misused word or lack of quotation marks, it forced me to stop and go back to understand what was going on. It was a shame too, because the sex here is steamy and the work itself is pretty solid. You’ll enjoy the characters and the circumstances that drive them, as well as the “play” in the bedroom with ribbons. I would have rated this higher if not for that. Rachel Kenley is a wonderful storyteller, and with bit of revising this story would be excellent.

The Glass Stiletto is an overall good read, especially if you enjoy erotic renditions of your childhood favorites.

Alexandra Russell, a clever virgin who is extraordinarily fascinated by vampires, finds herself kidnapped and about to die at the hands of one of the bloodsuckers until she is rescued by a strange man who seems oddly familiar. After he informs her that she is the Chosen One, sought after by not only his fellow vampire slayers, known as the Brotherhood, but also the Darkness, a vicious vampire clan, she agrees to come with him to begin training as a slayer.

She not only loathes the training, but she also finds herself lusting after her Slayer while she surpasses him skill-wise. Every day she finds new senses developing within her, many of which she keeps secret from the man who has finally taken her virginity.

Alex and Richmond embark on missions to slay vampires, always returning home to work off their adrenaline in the most delicious ways. After a spat, Alex puts herself in grave danger when she is faced with the vampire who nearly became her first lover years earlier. Will Alex find the strength to fight her lustful nature, which threatens to make her betray Richmond and the bond they share?

Alexandra finds herself having one hell of a great day, which immediately causes her to consider her uncustomary excellent day may point to a bad omen and, as one would imagine it suddenly takes a downward spiral in a seriously macabre way.

She ends her day in a vamp club to feed her dark fascination with the latter. Lulled by a handsome stranger she finds herself kidnapped by a beast of a vampire set on taking more than her blood. As she lay there wondering what the Hell she was thinking being cooed by the bloodsucker in the first place, she finds herself rescued by an extremely hot Slayer of vampires who claimed to be a member of the Brotherhood. The Slayer hero then divulges that she is the Chosen One sought by both his fellow vampire slayers and The Darkness, a nasty vampire clan.

She finds herself thrust into Slayer training and taking to the skills even to the point of exceeding her Slayer in ability. She also finds her handsome Slayer is a man of few words but long on sultry foreplay and drawing out skills Alex never new she had as well as teasing her virgin status to the point she will do anything to lose it.

I fell right into this book from the very first line. Buffy with an attitude! Alexandra had me laughing and crying and Richmond had me drooling for a piece of him. Ms. As a part of metabolic cialis without prescriptions uk homeostasis, the body tightly regulates Body glucose levels. On the other hand, some corporations are nothing more than medication mills offering cheap rates but little else. http://www.icks.org/data/ijks/1482965794_add_file_7.pdf price levitra One may feel a bit awkward to buy from the regular stores therefore; generic cialis prices is readily available in the UK. This implies that men and his partner could enjoy multiple love-making side effects viagra sessions in the same night. Miette knows how to draw the reader into a story. These characters even the antagonists have you tied to the edge of your seat. Just enough conflict, suspense, and mystery to keep you turning pages. And can I tell you the sex? Whoa! Richmond and Alex keep that fire burning! Then in walks, Roland, the Master of the Darkness, who will stop at nothing to have Alex as his queen. Poor Alex. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Her libido just can’t get a break.

The reader follows Alex as this is written expertly in the First Person through many discoveries as well her eventual loss of her blasted virginity. We see how this character grows and evolves into her destiny. The only problem is we’re left dangling.

I suddenly found myself on the last page and felt at a loss. Three very important threads were never tied up which left me very disappointed. I certainly hope Ms. Miette has plans for a sequel because it definitely seems a MUST.

Another thing I noticed were many typos throughout which, although they stopped me momentarily, did not hinder my progress through this action packed, very hot story. I loved this book and in my opinion would have been perfection if only all the major threads had been tied up.

I will definitely read more from this author — especially if she writes a sequel.

Rating: 4 Cherries
Review by Magnolia

Vampires are ever young, ever beautiful, and ruled by the cravings of the flesh. In Boys of the Bite, the gay male side of the vampire’s legend is explored in every erotic possibility. From historical settings where vampires move through high society to modern vamps you find at the all-night laundromat, these lusty men know how to hunt, whether for love or just a midnight snack.

Mixing stories by gay male authors like R. R. Angell and Bob Panadero with some of Ravenous Romance’s stars of m/m romance like Keta Diablo and Ryan Field, Boys of the Bite gives every reader plenty to get his or her blood pumping.

Wanting Needing Having by R.R. Angell-This story wasn’t my favorite of this anthology. The lead character tells this story in first person. He works in a clinic for vampires, which is the backdrop for the story as he tells of the vamps he meets there and at the clubs and the one person he can’t get out of his head. This probably would’ve been a good story had it not been so cheesy. The references to a bus called the Red Line, the clinic located on Howl Avenue, etc. was just too much to take the story seriously, and it’s not intended to be funny either.

I’m really surprised this story was place first in the anthology because generally a book like this isn’t just judged by its cover, which is pretty hot, it’s also judged by the first story. Am I going to continue reading this book based on this story? If I wasn’t reviewing it, I would have scrolled through and picked another story to read.

To Be Beloved by Pepper Espinoza-Told from the journal of William May, this is a hypnotic, well told, erotic, mesmerizing tale of seduction. While at his aunt’s home, Will meets the beautiful Miss Florence Harker whom he has a flirtatious, platonic relationship with because he knows he’s too old and poor. However, it is Miss Harker’s cousin, Taylor, who draws Will’s attention. There’s just something kind of spooky about the man and Will isn’t sure what it is. As the relationship develops, the author draws the reader into Will’s mind, his doubts, concerns and ultimately, his submission. A fabulous story that should have been the first in this anthology.

Lost In Translation by TammyJo Eckhart-The title says it all for this story, as I was totally lost during the first couple of pages. Cornelius is an ancient who keeps books and records in a cave. Jack is a surfer dude who has a degree and wants a job with Cornelius. I didn’t like Cornelius. He was overbearing, and self-centered, with a really over-inflated sense of self-importance. I loved Jack with his surfer dude speak and attitude. He made me laugh. Pairing the two together was like inviting a beggar to a tea party, totally out of place, but for the most part, it worked and the story had a conclusion that I liked in spite of myself!

The Love Of A Faithful Servant by Teresa Noelle Roberts-When a man lays on his deathbed, it’s only natural for him to think of his life and all the wrongs he’s done. Somewhere between life and death, Viscount Carrington is doing just that, as friends come and go, though he really can’t distinguish their words, he catches snippets of conversations. In this case seek advice from a veterinarian immediately as this can be a case discount levitra icks.org of kitty flu. The intensity of sexual fantasies decreases cheap generic cialis and it may take a man longer to achieve an erection, you must be sexually aroused. Communicate with provider Many people want to end up with great results but they mess it up when it comes to matters of using the drug. cost viagra http://www.icks.org/html/03_conference.php?seq=24 So, it is clear that a user can get online support levitra 10 mg browse around for more for its beloved electronic gadget issue. When his valet is finally allowed to see him alone, death is gone forever and Anthony becomes undead. This is a really well written story and I liked it very much. Unconditional love transcends rumors, time and death, and isn’t that the kind of love we’re all looking for?

The Cold Color of the Heart by Eric Del Carlo & Amber Jayne Dodd-Gabe and Svar are best friends, with girlfriends, but they’re also lovers. This is an intriguing, wonderfully told story that I truly enjoyed and found the sex scene just smoking hot. Maybe it was the men, maybe it was the camera, maybe it was the voyeurism—or the combination. Whatever it was, it worked. Sometimes a co-authored piece doesn’t always flow seamlessly because of the authors’ different tastes and styles, but Eric and Amber write as one and this is a great story!

The Sin Eater’s Prince by Keta Diablo-Owen, a sin eater, is saved from death by Andras, a vampire. Little does Owen know their connection goes much deeper than he could imagine. This story is about two people who are from very different worlds, yet they love one another. As much as Owen would like to be with Andras permanently he has made an oath to his father, but so has Andras. Keta Diablo tells a wonderful little story that is really more of an encounter that could actually go on to tell a much deeper tale of love and I hope this does turn into a novel, or at least few more shorts that continues this love story.

The Conservative Dark by Conner McKay-This story of a nerd and troubled vampire was kind of plain and didn’t really offer anything exciting or new, but it had its moments of cute and sweet. I really laughed when Dylan was talking to his BFF, a lesbian named Sonja, and told her how he wanted to have sex with Mike until they “drive up the price of lube in a total bastardization of the supply-and-demand principle.” Yeah, I remember when I was that young, too! Overall, not a bad story, entertaining with a nice ending.

The Last Brother by Ken Panadero-I loved this story! A Vampire Monk from the Order of St. Leodegarius is the storyteller in this tale of blood, death, war, life and love. Told with humor, frankness, and passion without the too-sweet romance that often accompanies m/m stories when written by females, Ken Panadero has written a story the way I like them. The maleness of the style and language gives this tale a masculine edge that really appealed to me. From the descriptions of killing an animal and drinking its blood, to the humor of (yes, humor) telling how a cannon ball takes off a man’s head, to the edgy sexual scenarios, I was quite enthralled to the last word.

The Devil’s Half Acre by Ryan Field-From the title I expected this to be a gothic horror story of some sort, but it’s simply the name of the old haunted house Gio buys when he winds up in New Hope, PA quite by accident. The house is supposedly haunted, but Gio buys it anyway. Being a vampire, he needs his privacy. I really got the feeling this story was more for the sake of sex between Gio and Colin than for any story line purposes, but if you like hot male on male sex, this is for you.

VAMMP: Conquering Dissension by Bryl R. Tyne-This is a totally different story than I expected, and one that I really enjoyed. The classic story of wanting someone you can’t have, or someone who doesn’t want you, or someone who does but won’t because duty and honor come first—such a way to go. I loved the tension between Darrel and Alan, and I loved the fact that they’re both not-so-good-guys. They’re military with a special mission, and the fact that they want to screw each other senseless isn’t exactly in the ops, but makes for a really good story. Bryl Tyne did an excellent job bringing this story around from a rough jeep ride to the country to a rough ride in the sack conclusion. What a way to end this anthology and I hope this author writes more stories along this line.

Review by Fern

Hana, Paige, Connie and Pepper form a lasting bond at Dempster Media, gathering in the break room for tea and toast. When Pepper leaves the company, the girls add a new venue – Paige’s cottage in the woods – where, over cocktails and gossip, the four friends trade secrets and sex tips.

Pepper abandons her domestic life, restlessly flitting from man to man looking for the perfect balance of sex and compatibility. Will she find it, or was it always right in front of her?

Sweet, sexy Connie’s infinite patience can’t save her when her jealous husband leaves her for another woman. Now single, she attempts to relocate her sensuality with a hunky handyman.

Paige is the earth mother, sprinkling snippets of advice like herbs on a salad. Married to her high school sweetheart, she seems to have the perfect life. But she carries her own secrets…

Small-town Hana tests her sexual boundaries with hot editor Adam, but she gets more than she bargained for. When he asks her to experiment with BDSM, she panics and calls off the relationship, setting off a chain of catastrophic events that brings the four women closer than ever.

Sexy, hilarious, and wise, The Toast Bitches is erotic chick lit at its finest!

When I first saw the title, The Toast Bitches, I knew this story would be something different. And I’m happy to say, I was right. The moniker refers to four friends that prefer to have toast and tea together during breaks at their place of employment. During this time they share, they rant, and they gossip. Reason why so many people do not cialis 40 mg visit doctors for diagnosis relates to the embarrassment they have. This is especially made for the young generation who wants results order cialis canada quickly.

The mystery of this marvelous herb is still studied by scientists however everybody agrees that epimedium has no harmful influence only positive impact on human health. tadalafil sales United by friendship, each is similar, yet different.

You have the youthful Hana, a woman that’s got a yen for the gorgeous but elusive Adam who isn’t what he seems. The saucy Pepper, a woman that has left behind domestic bliss for her unrealized version of happiness. The soft spoken Corinne, whose overly possessive husband is having an affair that ends their marriage. And the nurturer Paige, whose portrayed happy marriage isn’t as blissful at it seems. As time goes along, all of the individual stories will come together, with Hana’s taking center stage.

The most wonderful thing about this story is that author Sandra Cormier has given all of the characters equal page time. Each Toast Bitch represents an issue women face at some point in their lives–blind attraction, a bad marriage, a skeleton in the closet, the need to branch out even when what you want is directly in front of you–providing something everyone can relate to. It was impossible to decide which heroine I loved most because they were all unique.

I loved The Toast Bitches, and finished the story in one sitting. Give it a read. I’m sure you’ll love it as well.

Review by Fern

Jaz O’Neill is a beautiful young photographer who can’t seem to make it in the art world with her sensual black and white photographs. Frustrated, she drives to an isolated beach, where she breaks into an abandoned amusement park to take a new series of photos that may bring her the fame she seeks.

Suddenly, she finds herself trapped with others who have visited the park over the last 100 years, but have not been allowed to leave. These people, still as young and lovely as they were when they arrived, wander the park at night, surrounded by strange auras that drive them into a sexual frenzy when they come close to one another. Each night, from midnight until dawn, the rides spin and whirl, and carnival food appears at the concession stands. Jaz senses an evil, powerful presence at work.

Jaz meets handsome young musician Will, who has been prisoner in the park since 1925. Together, they must find the dark secret behind their entrapment, and discover a way to overpower the evil spirit to gain their freedom. In the midst of it all, Jaz and Will explore the surprising love and passion they discover with each other.

Will they find their escape-and will they be able to hold onto their heated passion once they do?

Sometimes a person reads a story that leaves such an impression they’ll continue staring at that last word on the page or screen for several minutes, basking in the experience and allowing it to linger. Those are the books that make the largest impression, the ones that will remain in your mind for the rest of your life. Haunted Seduction is one of those books for me.

As a self-proclaimed horror nut, I enjoy the darker side of erotica. But finding good gothic romance is as difficult as tracking down that elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Many of the offerings today are not gritty enough, and lack the realism that is essential to sucker punch a reader and leave them breathless. The effectiveness of this drug slows down the symptom of erectile dysfunction cialis sale navigate here by inhibiting PDE 5 enzymes and increase the significant role of cGMP.

As cialis online overnight for me, I am very much eager to witness lots of health care professionals all over Australia and you can call their customer care department to set up a telephonic appointment with the doctors. It’s all about the HEA, the resolution, and making the audience happy versus following the natural progression of the story.

Haunted Seduction, I’m happy to say, is an exception to the rule.

The abandoned amusement park containing trapped residents that cannot leave or resist their sexual urges is beautifully envisioned. You can feel the mayhem, the madness, the intensity. There are no morals here, no right are wrong. Once you’re in, you’re in; there is nothing else. But even in the darkness there is hope, and that is what makes this story so very memorable – the characters. You’ll fall in love with Jaz and Will, cheering for them even as your heart breaks at what future awaits them. They are two people that leave an indelible impression, one not soon forgotten.

The entire work as a whole is excellent, from start to finish. Morgan James has constructed an unforgettable tale of love, loss, and deliverance. A Best Book for sure. I highly recommend Haunted Seduction.

Review by Fern

Madeline is an Aquarius ghost hunter, a journalist, and belongs to an online paranormal investigations group.

Living in the old New England town of Hermana gives her lots of opportunities to investigate paranormal activities. One haunted house in particular intrigues locals and tourists alike so she asks her online group if they would like to come to investigate it.

Enter Jake, the California ghost hunter. Madeline found him oh so dreamy on his website, but in real life, he can be not so pleasant.

When Jake returns to California, Madeline is surprised that he wants her to come help him investigate an old abandoned asylum for a reality tv show.

On Valentine’s Day weekend.

Will Madeline and Jake solve the mystery of the haunted asylum?

Are there really ghosts or is there something more sinister at stake?

Will Madeline stop analyzing everything logically like a typical Aquarian and learn to trust her gut? Especially when it comes to love with a moody Scorpio from the West Coast?

Will Madeline ever overcome her HAUNTED HEART?

Aquarius Haunted Heart is a paranormal story with a twist – ghosts. The concept is something I’ve always adored. The idea that something lingers long after the body has worn is intriguing and profound, offering something new and fresh for readers. In this, we are taken on a journey with ghost hunters. There are séances, spirit contact, and creepy things that go bump in the night. You have the tension, the nail biting sequences, and the “whodunit?” suspense. The problem is Aquarius Haunted Heart isn’t really erotica.

I recently read a review on this topic not too long ago concerning stories that involve an element of sex but not enough for erotica standards.

I expect to have more story than heat in romance as the two go hand in hand, but in erotica…well, there’s a reason it’s referred to as erotica. To be sure, there are scenes that include sex in Aquarius Haunted Heart, but aside from the end when the protagonists finally make love, most consist of a few fantasies with the aid of toys and pornography from the heroine’s point of view. It’s not a bad thing. It’s just that sex is added into the plot as a device – not a focal point.

With that said. This is a good story for those that like ghosts, a twist, and a paranormal plot line. The writing was wonderful, the pace was brisk, and the characters enjoyable. Nothing wrong at all here with the exception of the genre. I would happily read the other stories in the series.

Review by Phlox

Kieran Quinn, a Texas native living in Manhattan, works as a columnist for a national magazine. He’s famous for his snarky, sardonic columns, but deep down he’s more interested in what makes people tick than his editor would like. He keeps his desire to find his own Mr. Right hidden under a sexy, carefree persona that favors champagne and underwear models of the male variety.

Jaxon Lang is the handsome, confident high school principal in a tiny Texas town, where he relocated from Dallas to pursue his relationship with a woman he thinks is his future bride, despite the fact that she has already left three other grooms at the altar.

When Kieran goes to Texas to cover the latest wedding of this real-life “runaway bride,” he falls hard for the gorgeous-and straight-groom. But Kieran’s charm and unique attitudes about sex and attraction soon challenge Jaxon’s concept of what – and who – he wants. Will anything change when Kieran discovers the bride’s shocking secret?

I loved the premise of this story, the overconfident writer of snarky magazine articles has to leave his comfort zone, physically and emotionally, to realize maybe his writing has done some harm. The reader almost wants something bad to happen to Kieran, not something on the level of plane-going-down dreadful, but something to wake him up out of his self-absorption. When he meets Jaxon, whom he has planned to deride in his next column, and has to pick his jaw up off the floor, we know in no uncertain terms that the wake-up call has arrived.

This is an engaging, entertaining story, full of characters with enough quirks and surprises to keep the reader glued to the page.

It is usually given after other acne medicines or antibiotics have been tried without successful treatment of symptoms. http://davidfraymusic.com/project/david-fray-returns-to-nyc-recital-stage-rapturously-received/ cialis generic cheap While I would have liked to have given it a higher rating, the editing issues are simply too distracting, detracting from what should be a smooth and enjoyable read. There are enough errors in the text that one had the feeling of a story that might have been rushed through the line editing.

All that aside, I did enjoy Kieran as a character and his awakening as a person. Once he starts seeing Jaxon as a person and not an opportunity for ridicule, he does take a hard look at himself and what he has been doing for a living. His earnest desire to rescue Jaxon from a one-sided relationship with a manipulative woman is endearing, especially because he goes into his investigation believing he can never have Jax (to all appearances as straight as an arrow) for himself. Jaxon, though we don’t get to see through his eyes until fairly late in the story, is a real keeper, a man of integrity, intelligence, and honor who isn’t afraid to keep an open mind. One does question how he was so easily duped by Danetta and why he never had any inkling before that he might be attracted to males, but it’s forgivable since he seems to have spent most of his time wrapped up in his work.

Not your typical boy-meets-boy story, the characters will quickly grow on you and the ending is ultimately satisfying. Readers will have to discover all the details for themselves, though, and it’s well worth the read.
